Analyzed is the sensitivity of reactor transient behavior to various reactor parameters during the reactivity induced accidents (RIA) of the Kori Unit 1. Included in the analysis is a partial spectrum of RIAs with relatively fast transients such as uncontrolled rod cluster control assembly bank withdrawl from a subcritical or low power startup condition and rod ejection accidents. The analysis can be performed generally in three steps: calculation of an average core power change, hot spot heat transfer calculation and DNBR (departure from nucleate boiling ratio) calculation. The computer codes used for the analysis are either developed based on the codes relevent to it. These codes are evaluated to be highly reliable. An extensive sensitivity analysis is performed to study the effects of various reactor design and operating parameters on the reactor transient behavior during the accidents. The assumptions and initial conditions used for the RIA analysis in the Kori Unit 1 FSAR (Final Safety Analysis Report) are reexamined, and the corresponding analysis results are reassessed, based on the sensitivity analysis results, to be conservative and reliable.

As a background study to apply the reliability-based resistance factors to the domestic concrete bridge design code, a comparative study is conducted for the design results and the reliability indexes obtained by adopting different resistance factor formats to yield the design strength of concrete structures. The design results which are calculated by applying the section resistance factors of the current domestic design code and the material resistance factors of Eurocode are compared for the concrete beam bridge. The reliability index is calculated by considering the uncertainties involved in material, dimension and strength equation during the design procedure to get the strength of concrete structure. Also, the sensitivity analysis is performed to figure out which design variables have great impact on the reliability index. The resistance factors of the current domestic bridge design code, AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode are applied to the bridge design for flexure and shear strength and the results show that the resistance factors of the domestic code give the largest reliability indexes. It is observed that the probabilistic distribution of the live load makes difference for the reliability index and the yield strength of reinforcing steel and the live load have great impact on the reliability of both flexural and shear strength of concrete beam through the sensitivity analysis.

집중호우는 전 세계적으로 큰 기후변화 문제 중 하나다. 극심한 집중호우의 빈도수는 지구 온난화로 인해 지난 세기 중반 이후부터 점차 증가하고 있으며 그로인한 인적 및 물적인 피해 또한 증가하고 있다. 이러한 손상을 방지하기 위해서는 적절한 설계 홍수량을 계산하는 것이 중요하다. 최근에는 미계측지역의 유출량 추정 시 분포형 강우-유출 모델을 이용한다. 분포형 모델의 가장 큰 장점은 소유역의 분할 과정을 거칠 필요 없이 유역에서 무작위 점의 유출을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2000년 11월 니스에 발생했던 강우를 기반으로 Var 유역의 소유역이자 미계측 지역인 프랑스 니스의 Ubac Vallone의 유출량 및 유출계수를 지형 데이터 등의 물리적 인자와 분포형 강우-유출모델인 MIKE SHE를 이용하여 추정하였다. 또한, 입력되는 인자의 상대적 중요성을 파악하기 위해 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 각 인자에 대한 상대민감도 분석을 바탕으로, 유출량에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 인자를 제안하였다. 연구 결과, 50년, 100년 및 162년 빈도별 확률강우량에 따른 유출량을 추정하였으며, 162년의경우 총 유출량은 124,384.8m³, 최대 유출량 1.512m³/s, 유출계수 0.53으로 나타났다. 총 유출량과 첨두유량에 대한 상대 민감감도 분석 결과, 수리전도도가 1.5로 첨두유량과의 민감도가 높게 나타났으며, 대수층의 수평방향 수리전도도는 0.48로 총 유출량과의 민감도가 높게 나타났다

This paper proposes an optimal design method of linear viscous dampers for the seismic performance of two adjacent structures with different heights. Accordingly, connection method using diagonal bracing between two floors and connection method between two structures are considered, and the effectiveness of the latter method is confirmed through the comparison of the frequency response functions with respect to damping capacity. Moreover, optimal damping to minimize the response of the adjacent structures in the frequency domain is found. The sensitivity of natural frequency and modal damping according to the damper capacity at each floor is obtained for the optimally designed system. From the sensitivity analysis, the modal damping is evaluated to be very sensitive to the damper installed at higher floor. Therefore, sensitivity-based damping distribution method is proposed. Diagonal bracing connection method, uniform distribution method and sensitivity-based distribution method are compared to each other in terms of seismic performance. The comparative results demonstrate that the proposed method is an effective seismic design method for the adjacent structures.

Three-dimensional computer modeling using FLAC3D had been carried out fur evaluating the thermal-mechanical stability of a high-level radioactive waste repository excavated in several hundred deep location. For effective modeling, a FISH program was made and the geological conditions and rock properties achieved from the drilling sites in Kosung and Yusung areas were used. Sensitivity analysis fer the stresses and temperatures from the modeling designed utilizing fractional factorial design was carried out. From the sensitivity analysis, the important design parameters and their interactions could be determined. From this study, it was found that deposition hole spacing is the most important parameter on the thermal and mechanical stability. The second and third most important parameters were disposal tunnel and buffer thickness.

디지털 필터 기반의 기저유출 분리 기법은 하천유량으로부터 기저유량을 분리하는 기법으로서 적절한 분석을 위해서는 필터 매개변수에 대한 추정이 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 비교적 간단한 방법으로 기저유출을 분리할 수 있는 단일 매개변수를 가진 디지털 필터 기반의 기저유출 분리 기법에 대하여 민감도 분석을 수행하였으며, 민감도 분석 결과를 바탕으로 적정 매개변수 범위를 결정하였다. 적용된 디지털 필터 기반의 기저유출 분리 기법은 Lyne-Hollick(LH), Chapman, Chapman-Maxwell(CM), EWMA 기법이다. 분석 대상 지점은 낙동강 지류 하천 중 8년이상 연속된 유량측정 기록이 존재하는 25개 수위관측소이다. 민감도 분석을 위한 기저유출 분리 기법별 매개변수 범위는 과거 연구 사례에 근거하여 LH, Chapman, CM 기법의 경우 0.9 ~ 0.99, EWMA 기법은 0.003 ~ 0.015로 선정하였다. 기저유출 분리 기법별 민감도 분석 결과, EWMA 기법이 매개변수 변화에 따른 기저유출 지표의 변화가 가장 적은 것으로 분석되었으며, LH 기법이 민감도가 가장 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, LH 기법과 EWMA 기법은 수위관측소에 따라 산정된 기저유출 지수가 큰 차이를 보였으며, 이는 각 수위관측소의 유황곡선에서 10%와 90%에 해당하는 유량의 무차원 변동량에 기인한 것으로 분석되었다. 각 기저유출 분리 기법별 적용성 검토 결과, Chapman과 CM 기법은 기저유출만 존재하는 비 강우 기간에서 기저유출을 분리하는 오류가 확인됨에 따라, 비교적 유량 변동이 큰 우리나라의 유출 특성상 Chapman과 CM 기법의 적용은 부적절한 것으로 판단된다. LH 기법과 EWMA 기법은 홍수 수문곡선 상승부에 대한 기저유출의 비율, 비 강우 기간에 대한 기저유출 분리 오류 등을 검토하여, EWMA 기법은 0.012 ~ 0.015, LH 기법은 0.950 ~ 0.975로 선정하였다.

In the direct Gun Fire Control System(GFCS), it is essential to analyze the impact of the specific error components on the hit probability to optimize the system design. For this purpose the sensitivity equations of these error components are conveniently used, but it is too difficult to get those equations for the complex system with too many system elements. Normally sensitivity analysis is performed using numerical and statistical methods for the ground combat system. This method requires much computation, and makes us difficult to estimate the sensitivity change of specific error component intuitionally for the changing operating conditions. In this paper we propose a set of sensitivity equations deriving from closed form solution of the ballistic differential equation for the bullet. They are handy equations with very little computations, easy to understand the physical meaning of the related system variables. Some simulation results are shown to demonstrate usefulness of our algorithm for the 30mm projectile.

In this study, a design strategy is proposed to restore the distorted urban water cycle to the natural water cycle through the LID facility. This is accomplished by determining the optimal LID facility design capacity through which flow duration curves remain the same before and after urban development. A part of the Noksan National Industrial Complex in Busan was selected as the study area and EPA SWMM was constructed to simulate long-term stormwater for various land use scenarios and LID facility design capacity. In the case that the study area was assumed to be a forest area or an agricultural area before urban development, it was found that it was necessary to allocate 7.3% or 5.5% of the impervious area to the area of the bio-retention in order for the flow duration curve to remain the same as before urban development. As a result of the sensitivity analysis of the bio-retention design capacity according to regional rainfall characteristics, the design capacity of 3.8~5.5% of impervious area is needed for the development of agriculture area. Therefore, it can be seen that the optimum capacity can be significantly different according to regional rainfall characteristics. On the other hand, as a result of analyzing the sensitivity of the design capacity according to the variation of the depth of each layer constituting the bio-retention and the size of contributing catchment area, the sensitivity of the optimal design capacity with respect to the design specifications of the bio-retention and the size of contributing catchment area was not significant.
