The effect of segmental joints is one of main importance for the segmental lining design when tunnels are excavated by a mechanized process. In this paper, segmental tunnel linings are analyzed by two numerical methods, namely the Beam-Spring Method (BSM) and the Solid-Interface Method (SIM). For this purpose, the Tehran Subway Line 6 Tunnel is considered to be the reference case. Comprehensive 2D numerical simulations are performed considering the soil's calibrated plastic hardening model (PH). Also, an advanced 3D numerical model was used to obtain the stress relaxation value. The SIM numerical model is conducted to calculate the average rotational stiffness of the longitudinal joints considering the joints bending moment distribution and joints openings. Then, based on the BSM, a sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the influence of the ground rigidity, depth to diameter ratios, slippage between the segment and ground, segment thickness, number of segments and pattern of joints. The findings indicate that when the longitudinal joints are flexible, the soil-segment interaction effect is significant. The joint rotational stiffness effect becomes remarkable with increasing the segment thickness, segment number, and tunnel depth. The pattern of longitudinal joints, in addition to the joint stiffness ratio and number of segments, also depends on the placement of longitudinal joints of the key segment in the tunnel crown (similar to patterns B and B').

일반적으로 건설재료 용도로 많이 사용되고 있는 유기섬유 보강 콘크리트는 섬유 자체의 인장강도 및 탄성계수는 낮지만, 휨거동, 균열에 대한 저항성 및 충격저항성 등의 특성은 우수하며, 내화학성이 뛰어나고 부식의 우려가 없는 것으로 널리 알려져 있다. 최근 해외에서는 유기섬유 보강재를 터널 숏크리트와 프리캐스트 세그먼트 라이닝, 교량 슬래브 및 PC제품 분야에서 일부 활용되고 있으며, 그 종류 또한 다양하다. 본 연구에서는 다발형 폴리아미드섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트의 휨거동 특성을 ASTM C 1609 및 KS F 2566에 준하여 하중-처짐 관계를 도출하여 유기섬유 보강 콘크리트의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다.

Management of laryngotracheal stenosis remains one of the most challenging problems facing the otolaryngologist. The key to success is to obtain adequate rigid circular support with normal mucosal lining. Four Patients with laryngotracheal stenosis were surgically treated in our institution in 2000. All the patients were male adults. The cause of stenosis were longterm or repeated endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy in our patients. All patients were successfully decannulated following segmental resection of the stenotic portion including the anterior arch of the cricoid cartilage and end-to-end anastomosis after suprahyoid laryngeal release. The time between treatment and decannulation was just one day in three patients. These results suggest the Possibility of early decannulation even if the cricoid cartilage was partially resected. It is better to prevent laryngotracheal stenosis rather than to treat it once it has occurred.

Ameloblastoma is an aggressive benign odontogenic epithelial tumour that may arise from the enamel organ, remnants of dental lamina, or the lining of an odontogenic cyst. It is usually categorized into solid or multicystic, unicystic, and peripheral types. Treatment ofameloblastomas include conservative methods such as marsupialisation, enucleation, and curettage; and radical treatments such as marginal or segmental resection. Radical treatments have resulted in lower recurrence rates; however, may also encounter esthetic, functional, and reconstructive problems. Unicystic ameloblastoma has been considered less aggressive and a lower recurrence tendency. Thus, many authors have recommended conservative treatment in cases of unicystic ameloblastoma. An 11 year-old boy presented with displaced second and third molars by luminal unicystic ameloblastoma in the mandible. Cyst enucleation, curettage, and third molar extraction were done. No signs of recurrence or esthetic problems such as facial asymmetry were seen radiologically and clinically, up to 8 years 2 months postoperatively.
