This study aims to assess the seismic performance of retrofitted reinforced concrete columns using a Replaceable Steel Brace (RSB) system, subjected to combined axial, lateral, and torsional loadings. Through experimental testing, one non-retrofitted concrete column specimen and two retrofitted specimens with variable sliding slot lengths were subjected to eccentric lateral loads to simulate realistic seismic loading. The retrofitted specimens with RSBs exhibited enhanced resistance against shear cracking, effective torsional resistance, and demonstrated the feasibility of easy replacement. The RSB system substantially improved seismic performance, achieving approximately 1.7 times higher load capacity and 3.5 times greater energy dissipation compared to non-retrofitted column, thus validating its efficacy under combined loading conditions.

Structural vibration induced by earthquake hazards is one of the most significant concerns in structure performance-based design. Structural hazards evoked from seismic events must be properly identified to make buildings resilient enough to withstand extreme earthquake loadings. To investigate the effects of combined earthquake-resistant systems, shear walls and five types of dampers are incorporated in nineteen structural models by altering their arrangements. All the building models were developed as per ACI 318-14 and ASCE 7-16. Seismic fragility curves were developed from the incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) performed by using seven sets of ground motions, and eventually, by following FEMA P695 provisions, the collapse margin ratio (CMR) was computed from the collapse curves. It is evident from the results that the seismic performance of the proposed combined shear wall-damper system is significantly better than the models equipped with shear walls only. The scrutinized dual seismic resisting system is expected to be applied practically to ensure a multi-level shield for tall structures in high seismic risk zones.

To ensure the safety and functionality of a railroad bridge, maintaining the integrity of the bridge via continuous structural health monitoring is important. However, most structural integrity monitoring methods proposed to date are based on modal responses which require the extracting process and have limited availability. In this paper, the applicability of the existing damage identification method based on free-vibration reponses to time-domain deflection shapes due to moving train load is investigated. Since the proposed method directly utilizes the time-domain responses of the structure due to the moving vehicles, the extracting process for modal responses can be avoided, and the applicability of structural health evaluation can be enhanced. The feasibility of the presented method is verified via a numerical example of a simple plate girder bridge.

Background: Previous robot-mediated gait training has been proven several limitations such as pointless repeated motion training, decreased presence, etc. In this research, adult stroke patients were participated in robot-mediated gait training accompanied with or without virtual reality program. Objectives: Exploring whether the results indicated virtual reality system has contribution to muscle strength and balance ability. Design: A case series research, cross-over trial. Methods: Eleven participants (male 4, female 7) with adults diagnosed as stroke from medical doctor ware engaged. The participants received 2 treatment sessions of identical duration, robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality and robot-assisted gait training with screen-off randomly crossed over include 1-day for each person of wash-out period. The parameter was muscle activity, the researchers assessed sEMG (surface electromyography). Results: The result showed less muscle activities during training in robotassisted gait training with virtual reality circumstances, and these indicated muscles were gluteus medius muscle, vastus medialis muscle, vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis muscle, semimembranosus muscle, gastrocnemius- lateral head, and soleus muscle (P<.05). Conclusion: In this study, we analyzed the outcome of muscle activity for clinical inference of robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality (VR). Less muscle activity was measured in the treatment accompanied by VR, therefore, a more systematic, in-depth and well-founded level of follow-up research is needed.

This study is to improve the efficiency of BTL (Build Transfer Lease) project operation by comparing the infiltration rate based on the data of 5 years of infiltration of the separate sewer system and combined sewer system. In the survey site, the separate sewer system area consists of eight flowmeters in seven treatment basins, and the combined sewer system area consists of eight flowmeters in five treatment basins. The infillration rate was analyzed by night-time domestic flow evaluation method, and the average infiltration rates of the separate sewer system and combined sewer system were 13% and 16%, respectively. Combined sewer system was about 1.3 times higher than the separate sewer system. The average BOD of separate sewer system was 233 mg/L, which was about 2.4 times higher than the combined sewer system was 107 mg/L. In the comparison of the average pipe diameter-length infiltration of separate sewer system and combined sewer system, the separate sewer system and the combined sewer system were about 0.150 m3/d/mm/km and about 0.109 m3/d/mm/km, respectively. The floating population in mixed residential and commercial areas has been identified as the cause. Therefore, we propose a method to calculate the infiltration rate in consideration of the margin ratio in the area where the night active population is concentrated.

Aluminum alloys are the light weight materials, they are commonly used in many industrial applications such as electronic, aerospace, automotive, and medical industry. Because they are used in these such applications. Therefore, their light weight and high surface quality are required. In this paper, the surface improvement round flat aluminum alloy using lapping finishing method was explored. In order to find the optimal condition, lapping parameters such as, rotational speeds, abrasive grain sizes of pad, processing times, and lapping oils were investigated in this study. The improvement in surface roughness was found to be highest with optimal condition at 200 rpm of rotational speed, 1 ㎛ abrasive grain size of pad, 0.5ml of light oil for 720 sec. By using the optimal condition, the initial surface roughness Ra of round flat aluminum alloy can be enhanced from 2.59㎛ to 0.02 ㎛. This can be concluded that the small CNC machine with lapping finishing method can be used to enhance the surface roughness of round flat aluminum alloy effectively.

Pressure sores are painful and needless complications of critical illness. and manifest as a localized area of ischemic necrosis of tissue caused by pressure. This study analyzed the bed-backrest elevation system combined with hip and knee flexion for lower extremity lower pressure reduction. Eight healthy adults aged 21 to 26 years were recruited. The Body Pressure Measurement Mat of the TekScan system was used to measure the location and magnitude of the peak pressures on the body bed interface. The SPSS statistical package was used to analyze the significance of differences between the general bed-backrest elevation system and the bed-backrest elevation system combined with hip and knee flexion using the paired t-test. The result showed that the body-pressure of the lower extremity was more significantly reduced for the bed-backrest elevation system combined with hip and knee flexion (26.6±4.3 mmHg) than a general bed-backrest elevation system (37.3±5.2 mmHg) (p<.05).

본 연구에서는 광촉매 반응과 막분리 기술을 접목시킨 혼성 고도 정수처리 공정에서 소독 부산물의 전구체로 알려진 자연산 유기물을 효과적으로 제거하고자 하였고 다양한 운전 조건에서 시스템의 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 자연산 유기물은 흡입여과 방식의 분리막과 TiO2 광촉매를 이용하여 광분해하였을 때 광촉매 투입량의 증가에 따라 반응속도가 증가하였지만 과량의 촉매 주입시에는 반응 속도 향상에 오히려 부정적으로 작용하였다. 자연산 유기물을 보다 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 산화철 주입, TiO2 표면처리, 분리막 표면코팅을 시도하여 제거특성 및 운전에 따른 막여과 특성을 평가하였다. 산화철 주입은 초기에 흡착작용으로 인해 제거율 증가를 보였으나 반응이 진행됨에 따라 산화철 입자에 의한 광산란으로 광분해 효율이 오히려 감소되었다. 산화철 입자에 의한 광산란을 제어하고자 TiO2 표면을 광처리와 열처리 방법을 이용해 철을 직접 부착시킨 경우 긍정적인 효과를 얻지 못했다. 그러나 산화철로 막표면을 코팅하여 광산란 효과를 배제시킨 경우에는 향상된 결과를 보였다 막투과 플럭스 15 L/m2-h에서 정밀여과를 수행하였을 때 TiO2나 산화철에 의한 막오염은 거의 일어나지 않았고 안정된 막투과도를 나타내었다.
