The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of using threaded rods and steel profiles to produce a steel confining system for rehabilitation of damaged concrete corbels for the first time in literature. Some of the specimens were repaired by crack repair epoxy before being confined for further enhancement. A total of 19 two sided damaged corbels were used in the study with different mechanical properties and parameters but similar dimensions. The differences were in rehabilitation style, shear span, fiber percentage, reinforcement steel diameter, and concrete strength. The rehabilitated specimens were loaded with vertical load until failure. Four different configurations were used in the investigation. Test results show that the proposed rehabilitation technique is effective to enhance the load capacity of the corbels and to improve their ductility. Moreover, new formulations were proposed to calculate the load capacity of the rehabilitated corbels. A good fit was observed between numerical and experimental results.

Steel-concrete composite walls have been proposed and developed for applications in various types of structures. The double-skin profiled composite walls, as a natural development of composite flooring, provide structural and architectural merits. However, adequate intermediate fasteners between profiled steel plates and concrete core are required to fully mobilize the composite action and to improve the structural behavior of the wall. In this research, two new types of fasteners (i.e., threaded rods and vertical plates) were proposed and three specimens with different fastener types or fastener arrangements were tested under axial compression. The experimental results were evaluated in terms of failure modes, axial load versus axial displacement response, strength index, ductility index, and load-strain relationship. It was found that specimen with symmetrically arranged thread rods sustained more stable axial strain than that with staggered arranged threaded rods. Meanwhile, vertical plates are more suitable for practical use since they provide stronger confinement to profiled steel plate and effectively prevent the steel plate from early local buckling, which eventually enhance the composite action and increase the axial compressive capacity of the wall. The calculation methods were then proposed and good agreement was observed between the test results and the predicted results.

Ilizarov limb lengthening has been the new method to deal with a variety of orthopaedic problems. Ilizarov apparatus consists of stainless steel rings that surround the limb and are interconnected by threaded rods. Tensioned wires pierce the bone in the plane of each ring and are tightly attached to the ring. Ilizarov has reported distraction osteogenesis with the use of the typical fixator that allows functional loading. The purpose of this commentary is to introduce a four-stage rehabilitation protocol currently used by the authors in the physical therapy management of a post -limb lengthening. Each treament stage corresponds to a medical stage in the lengthening process. Treatment goals for each of the physical therapy treatment stage are presented to guide treatment planning. Two case examples are presented to illustrate the use of the management goals in treatment planning.

This paper presents the damage assessment of a building structure by using a novel optical fiber accelerometer system. Especially, a sub-scaled building model is designed and manufactured to check up the feasibility of the optical fiber accelerometer for structural health monitoring. The novel accelerometer exploits the moir$\acute{e}$ fringe optical phenomenon and two pairs of optical fibers to measure the displacement with a high accuracy, and furthermore a pendulum to convert the displacement into acceleration. A prototype of optical fiber accelerometer system has been successfully developed that consists of a sensor head, a control unit and a signal processing unit. The building model is also designed as a 4-story building with a rectangular shape of $200{\times}300$ mm of edges. Each floor is connected to the next ones by 6 steel columns which are threaded rods. Basically, a random vibration test of the building model is done with a shaker and all of acceleration data is successfully measured at the assigned points by the optical fiber accelerometer. The experiments are repeated in the undamaged state and the damaged state. The comparison of dynamic parameters including the natural frequencies and the eigenvectors is successfully carried out. Finally, the optical fiber accelerometer is proven to be prospective to evaluate dynamic characteristics of a building structure for the damage assessment.

파손된 석조문화재를 재사용하기 위한 방법으로 금속보강재를 사용하게 되는데 현재까지 보강재에 대한 보존처리 지침 없이 처리자의 경험에 의해서 이루어지다 보니 여러 가지 문제점이 도출되고 있다. 따라서 2차적인 원부재의 훼손을 최소화하기 위한 금속봉의 구조적 보강방법과 거동 특성 등을 제안된 실험체를 통해 검증 받아 금속보강재 매입방법에 관한 설계기준을 마련하고자 하였다. 절단면에 에폭시수지 접합만 할 경우 원 모재 물성의 70% 정도밖에 회복되지 않아 30%에 대한 금속보강재의 구조적 보강이 필요하다. 금속봉은 석재 취성파괴 후 구조적 거동을 받는데 금속보강재비가 0.251% 이하로 설계되면 구조적 거동은 발생하지 않으며, 0.5% 이상이면 구조적 보강은 이루어지나 모재의 2차 훼손을 유발시킨다. 따라서 $1,500kgf/cm^2$ 강도를 갖는 석재의 적정 금속보강재비는 접착단면적의 0.283~0.377% 정도로 설계되어야 가역성 있는 파손과 보강재의 연성거동이 이루어진다. 또한 휨 하중에 대응되는 금속봉의 최대 응력을 기대하기 위해서는 보강재 간격을 멀리하는 것보다 가깝게 유지하는 것이 효율적이며, 특히 상부에 보강재를 매입하는 것은 구조적으로 아무런 도움이 되지 못하고 오히려 원부재의 손상만 유발한다. 따라서 보강재는 하부에 집중배치하고 일부 중앙부에 매입하여야 안정적인 인장재 역할을 하면서 하중응력을 받는다. 금속봉의 분산효과는 보강봉의 면적에 영향을 받을 뿐 지름과는 무관하였다. 하지만 큰 규모를 대상으로 할 때는 접착 단면을 고려하여 보강재 개수를 늘려주는 것이 하중응력에 안정적이다. 이때 적용되는 정착길이는 보강재의 직경에 따라 다음과 같은 식($l_d=a_tf_y/u{\Sigma}_0$)에 의거하여 설계한다. 또한 구조재로서 거동을 하기 위해서는 반드시 마디가 있는 전산형 보강봉을 사용하여야 한다.
