An analysis to allocate storage space for sediment accumulation during the economic life of the reservoir is required in the planning or design of a reservoir. This analysis has been the most difficult and tedious aspect to deal with reservoir sedimentation because of the interaction between the various parameters related to the hydraulics of flow, reservoir operating policy, inflowing sediment load. The approach to analyzing spatial distribution of deposits has relied on empirical methods, all of which required a great deal of simplification from the actual physical phenomena. For the purpose of this study, reservoir sedimentation rate computed by Empirical Area Reduction Method is compared with measuring rate along the Soyang-gang Dam. As a conclusion, reservoir sedimentation rate can be estimated exactly by Empirical Area Reduction Method.

Data compression technique is traditional and effective to reduce network traffic. Generally, sensor data exhibit strong correlation in both space and time. Many algorithms have been proposed to utilize these characteristics. However, each sensor just utilizes neighboring information, because its communication range is restrained. Information that includes the distribution and characteristics of whole sensor data provide other opportunities to enhance the compression technique. In this paper, we propose an orthogonal approach for compression algorithm based on a novel feedback diffusion algorithm in sensor networks. The base station or a super node generates the Huffman code for compression of sensor data and broadcasts it into sensor networks. Every sensor that receives the information compresses their sensor data and transmits them to the base station. We define this approach as feedback-diffusion. In order to show the superiority of our approach, we compare it with the existing aggregation algorithms in terms of the lifetime of the sensor network. As a result, our experimental results show that the whole network lifetime was prolonged by about 30%.

There are not many studies on the maintenance and replacement for the ITS equipments. Most of ITS center has no comprehensive regulation on the equipment replacement. This study was focusing on estimation of equipment replacement period and the number of spare parts in stock using the actual failure data of Road Side Equipment (RSE) by Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC). The failure data showed a type of bath-tub curves. The data, however, did not fit to any probability distribution curve, which means that the preventive replacement cannot be strongly applied for the RSE. In the aspect of practical strategy, this study suggest that repairing cost and failure frequency be used for decision of replacement of RSE after the 1 or 2 year warrant period. The future study needs to include more RSE failure data as well as other equipments of the ITS.

The duty-cycle synchronization among mobile sensor nodes with energy-harvesting is very important. The nodes should keep their duty-cycle same to others as much as possible because they have to cooperate each other and to consume energy efficiently. The distribution of node position in network affects not only node connectivity but also the active time of synchronized nodes, and it relates to network life-time finally. In this paper, we introduce a network topology change algorithm (TCA) for energy-harvesting mobile sensor networks based on self-synchronized duty-cycling. The algorithm tries to change a network topology into a balanced topology where the mobile sensor nodes are unified according to the density of the number of nodes. For TCA, both fluid flow algorithm and flock dispersion algorithm are proposed and they are evaluated through the simulation in agent based modeling language. TCA is applied to the energy-harvesting mobile sensor networks to improve the synchronization of duty-cycle and to reduce the variation of energy consumption among nodes.

Recently, a variety of researches has been carried out to estimate the reliability-based analysis and design method of concrete structures and is attracted by probabilistic-based durability analysis/method of concrete structures subjected to chloride containing environment using MCS (Monte Carlo Simulation). Probabilistic-based durability analysis/method was proposed by lots of researches, but there is the lack of data for degradation factors for the calculation of probability distribution. The reliability based durability analysis method represents that the service life and reliability index varies with the probability distribution and coefficient of variation of each factor. Therefore, in this paper, the importance of experiment data for the degradation factors is confirmed and the study of reliability index in RC structures under chloride attack environments is performed considering the variation coefficient of degradation factors.

In this study, the dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution probability. The dielectric breakdown characteristics origin in epoxy composites were examined and various effects of dielectric breakdown on epoxy composites were also discussed. As a result, first of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical. And the breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised, the electric field is concentrated, and the acceleration of electron and the growth of electron avalanche are early accomplished. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher since this suggests that silane coupling agent improves interfacial combination and relaxs electric field concentration. Finally, from the analysis of weibull distribution, it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.1%, the applied field value needed to be under 21.5㎹/cm.

This paper provides the effects on the leakage characteristics of the surface roughness of a valve stem in LPG automotive. The valve stem seal is to stop an oil leakage through a sealing gap between a valve stem and a valve stem seal. The sealing performance of two components is related to a leak safety and a long life of a valve stem and a valve stem seal. The experimental results show that the optimal surface roughness of a valve stem is to recommend as $0.4{\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ in a centerline average roughness, Ra and a uniformly distributed profile of the roughness. Basically the smooth surface and uniform profiles of the roughness may reduce an oil leakage between a valve stem and a valve stem seal.

The purpose of this study is to rationally determine the priority of seismic reinforcement of main(key) members of bridges. Cable Supported bridge was selected as the evaluation target and the reliability based on the probability distribution was used to evaluate the seismic fragility of the key members as a quantitative indicator. The safety factor, which is a random variable, is considered an artificial (fixed load and live load) load and a natural (earthquake, wind, temperature, etc.) load. The seismic load is applied as a possible earthquake during the lifetime of the bridge. From analyzing the fragility of each key member based on the seismic reliability, it can be concluded that the shoe (23.8%) was the most fragile, where the other members are ranked as place concrete (20.5%), pier (18.9%), foundation (17.3%) and cable (5.0%) respectively.

최근 우리나라는 기후변화로 인한 이상기후 현상으로 호우 및 홍수 등에 의한 수재해를 예방하기 위한 설계빈도 적용방안 개발이 필요하다. 과거 지방하천의 일률적인 설계빈도의 적용 및 간접·주관적인 하천의 중요도와 지역특성에 대한 등급의 결정은 하천사업의 효율적 관리와 수행에 있어서 저해요소로 작용되어 왔다. 또한, 미래 기후변화 시나리오에 따라 하천의 중요도 및 계획 규모가 적절히 적용되어야 한다. 본 연구는 충청남도의 492개 지방하천에 대하여 유역특성(유역면적, 형상계수), 하천특성(하도경사, 수계 및 하천차수, 배수영향 구간), 이상강우 특성(이상강우 발생빈도, 시가화 침수면적)에 대한 현재 설계빈도에 대한 적절성을 평가하였다. 설계빈도에 대한 정량적 추정은 베이즈 이론을 활용하여 가중치를 산정한 후 최적분포형을 선정하였다. 최적분포형의 중앙값을 일반적인 지방하천의 설계빈도인 80년 빈도로 설정하고 상·하위 0.5%가 각각 100년, 50년 빈도로 가정하여 492개 지방하천을 평가하였다. 이상강우의 발생빈도와 시가화 침수면적에 따라 하천의 설계빈도가 높게 산정되는 것으로 분석되었다. 미래 기후변화 시나리오를 적용할 경우 현재 설계빈도(설계수명)에 대한 시나리오별 미래 재현기간을 산정하여 미래 설계빈도에 대한 위험도를 평가하였다. 13개 기후변화 시나리오의 대표농도경로 4.5와 8.5를 분석한 결과, 평균 3.2%, 12.8%의 위험도가 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 객관적인 지방하천의 적정 설계빈도 결정방안을 제시하였으며, 미래 계획홍수량 증가로 인하여 효율적인 토지이용이 제한될 것으로 예상됨에 따라 하천사업의 예산절감 및 우선순위 결정 등에 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
