In this paper, the inelastic buckling behavior of the beam under uniform bending was investigated using the energy-based method, which can tackle problems in fourth order eigenvalue. The pattern of residual stress was not available to satisfy the I-sections manufactured in Korea. however; therefore, the well-known polynomial and simplified pattern of residual stress was adopted in this study. The inelastic lateral-distortional buckling behavior of the beam with I-sections manufactured in Korea was investigated. The study was then extended to the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling of the beam by minimizing the out-of-plane web distortion. The inelastic lateral-torsional buckling results obtained in this paper were compared with the prediction of allowable bending stress given in the Korean steel designers' manual (1995). Results showed that the importance of inelastic lateral-distortional buckling did not arise for beams under uniform bending. Likewise, the design method in KSDM (1995) was proven to bo too conservative for intermediate and short spans of beams without intermediate bracing.

Adopting cohesive soil as geocell-pocket infill materials is not fully accepted by researchers in the field of road engineering. The cohesion that may inhibit the lateral limitation of geocells is a common vital idea that exists within every researcher. However, the influence of infill materials' cohesion on geocell-reinforced performance is still not thoroughly determined. The mechanism behind this still needs to be studied in depth. This study initially discussed the relationship between subgrade bearing capacity, geocells' contribution to reinforced performance, and infill materials' cohesion (IMC). A law was proposed that adopting the soil with high cohesion as infill materials benefited the subgrade bearing capacity, but this was attributed to the superior mechanical properties of infill materials rather than geocells' contribution. Moreover, the vertical and lateral deformation of subgrade, coupling shear stress and confining stress of geocells, and deformation of geocells were deeply studied to analyze the mechanism that high cohesion can inhibit the geocells' contribution. The results indicate that the infill materials with high cohesion result in the total displacement of the subgrade toward to deeper depth, not the lateral direction. These responses decrease the vertical coupling shear stress, confining stress, and normal displacement of geocell walls, which weaken the lateral limitation of geocells.

The stress analysis of cold-formed channel section steel beams under transverse load is presented. The local buckling as well as the lateral buckling effects are included in the analysis. The analytical model is developed based on the thin-walled beam theory, and a one-dimensional finite element model is formulated to solve the analytical model. Numerical results are compared with AISI code. It shows that the proposed model is appropriate for predicting of stress as well as deflection of the cold-formed channel section beam.

In this study, to analyze the rotation point of piles, the laboratory lateral load test was performed. The lateral load bearing capacity is one of the important factor related with structure failure directly. Analyzing rotation point in different soil condition, relative density and stress condition, leads more accurate ultimate lateral bearing capacity. Also, reliability was analyzed about established 예측식 as applying to tapered pile. As a result, the established prediction was suitable to cylider pile, but not to tapered pile.

This article has tried to review the maximum contact stresses in the contact area of the wheel and rail as a result of lateral movement of the wheel on rail by taking advantage from Hertz theory. Since wheel movement on rail is accompanied by lateral movement due to wheel profile conisity, so the contact point of wheel and rail is not constant and the contact stresses are therefore changeable in every single moment. Since the shape of rail profile and rail inclination, wheel diameter and the mechanical properties of the wheel and rail are effective on the stresses of contact area, these parameters have been studied by applying Hertz theory. This article aims to calculate the contact stresses in different parts on the wheel surface by using Hertz theory.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate clinical and radiographical results of treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability with modified Brostrom procedure. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 22 cases in 22 patients treated with modified $Brostr{\ddot{o}}m$ procedure under the diagnosis of chronic lateral ankle instability from May 2000 to August 2004. Average age was 32.3 years. Average follow-up period was 23 months. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs of ankle anteroposterior view, lateral view and varus stress view were analyzed. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the Americal Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scales. Results: After the modified $Brostr{\ddot{o}}m$ procedure, Americal Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scales score was improved by average 28 points. Among the 22 cases, 13 cases were excellent, 3 cases good, 4 cases fair, and 2 cases poor with satisfaction of 73%. Five cases had intermittent ankle pain of whom 3 cases had difficulty during competitive sports activity. Lateral tilting of talus improved by average 5.4 degrees on varus stress view. Conclusions: The modified $Brostr{\ddot{o}}m$ procedure is one of the most effective methods for treating of chronic lateral ankle instability.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical results of modified $Brostr{\ddot{o}}m$ procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability and to assess whether or not associated injuries may affect postoperative satisfaction. Materials and Methods: Twenty- four patients with chronic lateral ankle instability were evaluated retrospectively from August 1998 to March 2002. Average age was 29.3 years. All patients were performed pre & postoperative ankle anteroposterior and lateral view, stress anterior drawer and varus test using Telos device, MRI and intraoperative arthroscopic evaluations before ligament reconstruction. Results: Of the 24 cases, 23 cases was improved more than average 12 points on AOFAS scales. On modified scales of Hamilton, 3 excellent, 20 good, 1 fair results. On stress view, average 2.2 mm difference was improved on anterior drawer test and average 1.7 degree on varus test. Associated injuries were 8 osteochondral defects, 4 anterior impingements, 2 loose bodies, 2 os subfibulare, 2 os submalleolare and 2 partial ruptures of peroneus brevis. 8 cases with no associated injuries rated excellent or good. Conclusion: The modified $Brostr{\ddot{o}}m$ procedure is believed to be an effective and successful method for chronic lateral ankle instability that didn't respond to conservative treatment. Because associated injuries in chronic lateral ankle instability may affect postoperative satisfaction, appropriate detection and treatment may need for postoperative satisfaction.

The inelastic lateral-distortional buckling of doubly-symmetric hot-rolled I-section beam-columns subjected to a concentric axial force and uniform bending with elastic restraint which produce single curvature is investigated in this paper. The numerical model adopted in this paper is an energy-based method which leads to the incremental and iterative solution of a fourth-order eigenproblem, with very rapid solutions being obtained. The elastic restraint considered in this paper is full restraint against translation, but torsional restraint is permitted at the tension flange. Hitherto, a numerical method to analyse the elastic and inelastic lateral-distortional buckling of restrained or unrestrained beam-columns is unavailable. The prediction of the inelastic lateral-distortional buckling load obtained in this study is compared with the inelastic lateral-distortional buckling of restrained beams and the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling solution, by suppressing the out-of-plane web distortion, is published elsewhere and they agree reasonable well. The method is then extended to the lateral-distortional buckling of continuously restrained doubly symmetric I-sections to illustrate the effect of web distortion.

Recently, arches are used structurally because of their high in-plane stiffness and strength, which result from their ability to transmit most of the applied loading by axial forces actions, so that the bending actions are reduced. On the other hand, the resistances of arches to (out-of-plane,) flexural-torsional behavior depend on the rigidities EI/sub y/, for lateral bending, GJ for Uniform torsion, and EI/sub w/ for warping torsion which are related to axial stress for flexural-torsional behavior. The resistance of an arch to out-of-plane behavior may be reduced by its in-plane curvature, and so it may require significant lateral bracing. Thus. it is supposed that In-plane preloading which cause an axial stress, have an effect on out-of-plane free vibration behavior of arches. Because axial stresses caused increase or decrease out-of-plane stiffness. But study about this substance is insufficient. In this thesis, We will study an effect of preloading on lateral free vibration of arches, using finite element method based on Kang and Yoo's curved beam theory (about curved beam element have 7 degree of freedom including warping) with FORTRAN programming.

The bridge tested was 3 spans 90m-long PSC beam concrete bridge with a stub-type abutment which had a skew of 60$^{\circ}$ about the axis of bridge. A cement concrete was placed at the superstructural slab of the bridge. Inclinometers and straingauges were installed at piles as well. During 7 days-curing of superstructural slab, the pile behavior in response to hydration heat and drying shrinkage of the slab was monitored. Then monitored values were compared with the horizontal movement obtained from the HACOM program and the calculated lateral behavior obtained from the nonlinear p-y curves of pile. As a result, lateral behavior of H-piles by the field measurement occurred due to the influence of hydration heat and drying shrinkage obtained during curing of superstructural concrete. The lateral displacements by hydration heat and drying shrinkage were 2.2mmand 1.4mm respectively. It was observed as well that the inflection point of lateral displacement of pile was shown at 1.3m down from footing base. It means that the horizontal movement of stub abutment did not behave as the fixed head condition of a pile but behave as a similar condition. The measured bending stress did not show the same behavior as the fixed head condition of pile but showed a similar condition. The increment of maximum bending stress obtained from the nonlinear p-y curves of pile was about 300(kgf/$\textrm{km}^2$) and was 2 times larger than measured values regardless of installation places of straingauges. Meanwhile, lateral load, maximum lateral displacement, maximum bending stress and maximum bending moment of pile showed a linear behavior as curing of superstructural concrete slab.
