Recently, as the construction of new railway and the relocation of existing line increase, tunnel structures grow longer. The railway fire accidents in long tunnel bring large damages of human life and disaster. The interest of safety in long tunnel have a growing and the safety standard of long tunnel is tightening. For that reason, at the planning of long tunnel, the optimum design of safety facility in long tunnel for minimizing the risks and satisfying the safety standard is needed. For the reasonable design of long railway tunnel considering high safety, qualitative estimation for tunnel safety is required. In this study, QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) technique is applied to design of long railway tunnel for assuring the safety function and estimating the risk of safety. The case study for safety design in long railway tunnel is tarried out to verifying the QRA technique for two railway tunnels. Thus, the inclined and vertical shaft for escape way and safety facilities in long tunnel are planned, and the risks of tunnel safety for each case are estimated quantitatively.

When eccentric or inclined load acts on foundation of the port & harbor structures, partial safety factors of bearing capacity limit state were estimated using reliability analysis. Current Korean technical standards of port and harbor structures recommend to estimate the geotechnical bearing capacity using the simplified Bishop method. In practice, however, simple method of comparing ground reaction resistance with allowable bearing capacity has been mostly used by design engineers. While the simple method gives just one number fixed but somewhat convenient, it could not consider the uncertainty of soil properties depending on site by site. Thus, in this paper, partial safety factors for each design variable were determined so that designers do perform reliability-based level 1 design for bearing capacity limit state. For these, reliability index and their sensitivities were gained throughout the first order reliability method(FORM), and the variability of the random variables was also considered. In order to verify partial safety factors determined here, a comparison with foreign design codes was carried out and were found to be reasonable in practical design.

Microstructured Al@Al₂O₃ and Al@Ni-Al LDH (LDH = layered double hydroxide) core-shell metal-ceramic composites are prepared by hydrothermal reactions of aluminum (Al) metal substrates. Controlled hydrothermal reactions of Al metal substrates induce the hydrothermal dissolution of Al ions at the Al-substrate/solution interface and reconstruction as porous metal-hydroxides on the Al substrate, thereby constructing unique metal-ceramic core-shell composite structures. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure of the core-shell composites are affected largely by the ions in the hydrothermal solution; therefore, the critical physicochemical and surface properties of these unique metal-ceramic core-shell microstructures can be modulated effectively by varying the solution composition. A Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ catalyst with highly dispersed catalytic Ni nanoparticles on an Al@Al₂O₃ core-shell substrate was prepared by a controlled reduction of an Al@Ni-Al LDH core-shell prepared by hydrothermal reactions of Al in nickel nitrate solution. The reduction of Al@Ni-Al LDH leads to the exolution of Ni ions from the LDH shell, thereby constructing the Ni nanoparticles dispersed on the Al@Al₂O₃. The catalytic properties of the Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ catalyst were investigated for CO₂ methanation reactions. The Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ catalyst exhibited 2 times greater CO₂ conversion than a Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation and showed high structural stability. These results demonstrate the high effectiveness of the design and synthesis methods for the metal-ceramic composite catalysts derived by hydrothermal reactions of Al metal substrates.

The greenhouse discrete optimum design program was developed using discrete optimum algorithm based on the genetic algorithm. The basic search method for the optimum design is the genetic algorithm, which is known to be very efficient for discrete optimization. In this paper, the objective function was the weight of the greenhouse structures and the constraints were the limits state design method. The design variables were galvanized steel pipes for plastic housing KSD 3760. Objective criteria were presented for the design of economic greenhouse structure and evaluation of its stability. The standardizations of greenhouse structure were used, as well as the normalization of greenhouse-related materials. Design examples were given to show the applicability of the optimum design using the discrete optimum algorithm based on the genetic algorithm of this study.

최근 학계나 산업계에서 투명 전자 소자에 대하여 활발한 연구가 진행되면서, 투명 전 도성 산화물(TCO: transparent conductive oxide)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 대표적인 TCO 물질인 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)는 가시 광 영역에서의 높은 투과 및 높은 도전성을 가져 전압을 인가하면 발열이 가능하므로 이를 투명 면상 발열체에 적용시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, ITO는 발열 테스트 결과 온도가 상승함에 따라 발열이 일부분에 집중되는 현상이 있으며, 전도성을 높이기 위하여 추가공정이 필요하다. 또한, 글라스의 곡면 부분에서 ITO를 사용하면 유연성이 부족하므로 크랙이 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 최근 Silver nanowire (AgNW), Single-walled Carbon nanotube (SWCNT), ITO를 기반으로 한 AgNW에 ITO를 증착 하거나 SWCNT를 코팅하여 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 지닌 하이브리드 전극이 투명 면상 발열체 재료로서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 대체된 재료들도 다양한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어 고온에서 발열을 유지하지 못하고 끊어지거나 가시광영역의 투과율이 낮은 점 등이 있다. 이런 다양한 문제점들을 보완 할 수 있는 새로운 투명 면상 발열체에 적용한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GZO/Ag/GZO 하이브리드 구조의 투명 면상 발열체를 제작하여 전기적, 광학적 특성을 비교하고 발열량, 온도 균일 성, 발열 유지 안정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 $50{\times}50mm$ 크기의 Non-alkali glass (삼성코닝 E2000) 기판 상에 DC마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정을 이용하여 상온에서 GZO, Ag, GZO 박막을 연속적으로 증착 하여 다층구조의 하이브리드형 투명 면상 발열체를 제조하였다. 박막 증착 파워는 DC (Ag) power 50 W, RF (GZO) power 200 W로 하였으며 GZO박막두께는 45 nm로 고정 시키고 Ag박막 두께는 5~20 nm로 변화를 주었다. 증착원은 3인치 GZO 세라믹 타깃 (2.27 wt. % Ga2O3) 과 Ag 금속 타깃 (순도 99.99%)을 사용하였으며, Ar을 40 sccm 주입 후 Working pressure는 고 순도 Ar을 사용하여 1.0 Pa로 고정하며 10분간 Pre-sputtering을하고 증착을 진행하였다. 앞선 실험을 통해 증착한 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성은 각각 Hall-effect measurements system (ECOPIA, HMS3000), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-1800, Shimadzu)를 사용해 측정 되었으며, 하이브리드 표면의 구조 및 형상은 FESEM으로 관찰하였다. 또한 표면온도 측정기infrared camera (IR camera)를 이용하여 4~12 V/cm의 전압을 인가 시 시간에 따른 투명 면상 발열체의 표면 온도변화를 관찰하였다.

In this study, the adsorption performance of vapor phase VOCs under dry conditions was evaluated by using two metal oxides, $TiO_2$ powder and $Al_2O_3$ powder. BET analysis and ammonia in-situ FT-IR analysis were used to analyze specific surface area and surface acid site. As a result, $TiO_2$ powder and $Al_2O_3$ powder had a specific surface area of $317.6m^2\;g^{-1}$ and $64m^2\;g^{-1}$, respectively. In the case of $TiO_2$ powder, many acid sites were observed on the surface. As a result of evaluating the vapor phase VOCs adsorption performance using two metal oxide powders, $TiO_2$ powder having a relatively large specific surface area and a large number of acid sites exhibited relatively good adsorption performance. In particular, it is considered that the specific surface area directly affects the adsorption performance, and further study on the effect of the acid site is required. Based on the $TiO_2$ exhibited excellent adsorption performance, it manufactured into various forms of honeycomb, hollow fiber and disc. As a result, the adsorption performance was lower than that of the powder, but it is advantageous in view of applicability. In addition, it was confirmed that the disc adsorbent having excellent thermal durability due to the characteristics of the manufacturing process stably maintains adsorption performance even at a high temperature desorption process several times.

The open bite malocclusion is a common clinical entity and has multifactorial causes. Development of effective treatment plan and management is dependent on proper diagnosis. The skeletal open bite patient requires a coordinated orthodontic and orthognathic surgical approach to achieve stable occlusion, acceptable esthetics, and improved function. But in case of open bite with severely decayed dentition, restoration in the entire dentition is necessary. Using the facial analysis and diagnostic wax-up, the most effective treatment was prosthetic rehabilitation. The provisional restorations were fabricated to satisfy esthetic and functional requirements, which result in the uniformly distributed occlusal force, anterior and canine guidance. The inter-arch relationship, labio-dental harmony, and the soft tissue aspect, which is important to estimate the longevity were evaluated. Definitive restorations of monolithic zirconia were made by replicating provisional restorations by using the latest CAD/CAM technology. They were delivered to the patient and clinical follow-up observation was satisfactory.

A study for the nonlinear solution strategies to predict the ultimate behavior of a curved PSC cable-stayed bridge with complex geometry and highly nonlinear characteristics is presented. The load and displacement control strategies are used and found to be stable for the nonlinear solution of the PSC bridge up to the moderately excessive load. The ultimate analysis of curved PSC cable-stayed bridge using these solution strategies is not converged due to the propagation of the cracks in the wide range of the concrete elements and excessive variation of the stresses in the concrete elements and cables according to the complex geometry. The load control strategy using scale-down of the unbalanced loads is proposed as an alternative method for the case that the solution is not converged due to the severe nonlinearities involved in the PSC structures like a curved PSC cable-stayed bridge. Through the ultimate analysis of the PSC girder, the accuracy and the stability of the proposed solution strategies are evaluated. Finally, the numerical results for the ultimate analysis of the curved PSC cable-stayed bridge using scale-down of the unbalanced loads are compared with those obtained from other investigator. The validity of the proposed nonlinear solution strategy is demonstrated fairly well.

The stone lantern of the four guardian kings in the Beopjusa temple at Boeun was mainly made of biotite granodiorite consisting of porphyritic-textured potassium feldspar and included in ilmenite series. A base stone made of alkali granite was buried, after founded its place during an earlier restoration process. Cracking and break out are noticeable on this object. In addition, discoloration, salt crusting, and epiphytes were observed. The lantern was vulnerable in terms of physical and structural stability caused by cracking in the front and back of the light chamber and in the non-horizontal direction. According to the conservational condition of the stone lantern, structural reinforcement was carried out based on calculations, including those on the position, size, and anchor length of the titanium stiffener. Chemical and biological pollutants were washed off without damage to the surface of the stone material. Oxygenated iron pieces were replaced with titanium. Ethyl silicate was applied to the surface of the lantern for consolidation and smooth drainage.

This study was conducted as a post - study on the development of a centralized controller and a hydraulic lift system including structural analysis and remote control for the development of a vertically elevated car. The safety review was carried out through the structural modification of the elevator lift which was developed during the previous research. 3D modeling was performed with Solidworks, and a model of finite element was created through Hypermesh S / W. In addition, the loading environment of the work vehicle for the evaluation is a condition in which the loading amount is 250 kg per position (total, upper, upper, lower, and lower) on the work table, ), The structural analysis was carried out under the condition that the load was 600 kg, and safety was examined in various aspects. As a result, when the allowable load of 250 kg and the excess load of 600 kg are excluded (except Case-11), the stress level is below the yield strength. In the case of Case-11, there is a region exceeding the yield strength at the center support portion of the safety bar at the upper end even after excluding the component which generates the maximum stress, but it does not affect the safety aspect of the whole structure Respectively. Looking at the deflection results, it can be seen that in all cases the maximum deflection occurs in the same table, and the tendency of sagging in both 250 kg and 600 kg is the same.
