This study examines the process of the introduction of stupa, which has originated in India, to the Xinjiang Uyghur region and the features of the stupas in the Xinjiang Uyghur region in detail. This study examines the layout of the buildings in temple compounds and the types, structural elements, and construction methods of the stupas in the Xinjiang Uyghur region in particular by looking into the content of the Da Tang Xi Yu Ji and remaining stupas, which provide examples of stupas at the time. This study finds that due to the characteristics of dry deserts, stupas in Xinjiang Uyghur region, where assimilation between Eastern and Western cultures is seen, were mostly made by pressing clay into a mold and had no interior spaces. Also, construction materials and techniques had been developed and improved in a way that enabled stupas to combat the challenging desert conditions. However, the stupas in this region differed significantly from the wooden tower-like stupas discovered in central China(zhongyuan 中原). The shape of the dome of most stupas in Xinjiang Uyghur region was chosen under the influence of the Gandharan style. Some of the stupas in the region have taken the general forms of the wooden stupas and the others have taken many forms, from cylindrical drums to towers. Also, there have been forests of stupas and stupas similar in form to chaityas and stupas of Vajrayana. Such different forms were transformed and modified through regional history and it was related to the peoples and cultures that produced and used stupas. Stupas evolved into distinct forms in Xinjiang Uyghur region in this way.

The uncertainty of start-ups are factors that weaken the entrepreneurial intentions of college students and prospective founders, and are also the cause of the low rate of entrepreneurship among art college students. This study tried to identify the effect of subjective norms entrepreneurial efficacy on start-up intentions. Studies have shown that entrepreneurial efficacy and subjective norms have a significant impact on start-up intentions. In addition, start-up education support has been shown to control the impact of subjective norms on start-up intentions, and start-up activity support has been shown to control the impact of subjective norms on start-up intentions, while start-up commercialization support does not control the impact of start-up efficacy or subjective norms on start-up intentions. In order to revitalize the start-up and effectively guide the start-up of art college students, it is necessary to show the social support of the people around them for the start-up and to enhance the efficacy of the start-up by supporting the prototyping activities.

Currently, large-scale and deep-depth excavation construction is being carried out in the vicinity of structures due to overdensity in urban areas in Korea. It is very important to secure the safety of retaining structures and underground structures for adjacent excavation work in urban areas. The safety of facilities is managed by introducing an automated measurement system. However, the utilization of the results of the automated measurement system is very low. Conventional evaluation techniques rely only on the maximum value of the measured data, and can overestimate abnormal behavior. In this study, we intend to improve the analysis technique for the automation measurement results. In order to identify abnormal behavior of facilities, a time-series analysis method for automated measurement data was presented. By applying a probability statistical analysis technique to a vast amount of data, highly reliable results were derived. In this study, the analysis method and evaluation method that can process the vast amount of data of facilities have been improved.

This study tried to understand the effect of the perceived value and perceived risks of start-up on the entrepreneurial intentions of college students majoring in the arts, and analyzed the difference between the start-up experience of family and the degree of entrepreneurial intention according to the sub-major. Studies have shown that the perceived value of a startup has a significant impact on the intention of starting a business, and among the perceived risk factors of a startup, financial risk has a significant impact on the intention to start a business, but social risk factors and career risk factors do not have a significant impact. In addition, among the sub-majors in the art department, the craft major was found to have a higher entrepreneurial intention than other majors, and college students who indirectly experienced the start-up of their family had higher entrepreneurial intentions than college students who did not, and the presence or absence of the entrepreneurial experience of family had a modulating effect in the relationship between the perceived value and the perceived risks on the entrepreneurial intention.

In this study, the key parameters affecting the deterioration of each track type were derived based on field inspections and laboratory tests. The existing track deterioration model was limited to the ballasted tracks, and the deterioration evaluation of concrete tracks was insufficient. In this study, the laboratory test was performed to evaluate the performance and condition of track components to derive the deterioration factors reflecting the characteristics of various track structures. In addition, through analysis of track maintenance history data, parameters affecting track deterioration and maintenance were derived. The key parameters for presenting a track deterioration model based on the track performance of ballasted and concrete tracks through field inspection, track maintenance history data analysis, and performance test of track components using on-site specimens were identified as track support stiffness, Ballast gravel, track settlement and Resilience pad were presented.

The sleeper floating track (STEDEF) in this study was a track type in which a very soft resilience pad was installed under a relatively thin concrete sleeper (RC Block). Therefore it was expected that the resilience pad could affect the estimation results of the concrete strength. In this study, field applicability evaluation was performed to apply the rebound hardness test method, which was a general method for estimating the compressive strength of concrete in civil structures, to concrete sleepers of railway tracks. In order to analyze the strength estimation technique of concrete sleepers reflecting the characteristics of track structures different from those of civil structures, the parameter experiments that could affect the strength estimation results of concrete sleepers in a serviced line were performed. As a result of the study, the appropriate hitting position was suggested considering the shape of the concrete sleeper, and the difference in strength estimation results according to the condition of the concrete sleeper and supporting conditions was derived.

Jacking force loss management inside the PSC Box girder of a common high-speed railway is a very important feature in girder performance, and requires detailed management during the maintenance of the girder. This study aimed to analyze the timing of re-tension prediction of PSC Box girder based on the reduction level of the packing force inside the girder and the results of the tension loss measured without the train load test. As a result of predicting the timing of re-tension according to the level of tension reduction of the PSC Box Girder, the Jacking Force Loss curve was gently analyzed before the structure reached 17 years after confirmed completion, and 17 years later, it was found that the jacking force loss curve progressed rapidly. The results confirmed that the tension of the structure decreases with the service life increase, but considerably decreases as the structure ages. Therefore, more data and research on tension loss of facilities over 20 years are much required.

There is risk of derailment due to various factors such as vehicle-track load imbalance in curved parts, so urban railways install and operate derailing prevent guard rails. The angle-type derailing prevent guard rail is composed of various parts including the guard angle. Even if derailment does not occur, various damages occur in the components, so continuous maintenance is required. Through the damage status analysis, the components of the angle-type derailing prevent guard rail with high damage frequency were classified, and conditions for the occurrence of various damages were investigated. In addition, a numerical analysis using a precise 3D numerical model was performed to analyze the cause of the damage analytically. In order to analytically simulate the derailment situation, the static ultimate load condition was applied, and the actual drawing of the angle-type derailing prevent guard rails, rails, and wheels was used for modeling. By analyzing the results of the damage status investigation and finite element analysis, we tried to investigate the damage of the components.

This study proposes an analysis model that can reflect the actual behavior of the rail floating track, and the most reasonable model was analyzed through field measurement and numerical analysis. It was analyzed that the current design theory analysis results of rail floating tracks were different from the field measurement results and were not suitable to reflect the actual behavior. In the rail floating track, it was analyzed that the subsidence of the point directly affects the total displacement rather than the displacement due to the bending of the rail. As a result of numerical analysis, it was analyzed that the analysis result of the proposed model, which is a parallel arrangement spring model that does not have a support point directly below the rail, reflects the actual behavior. The analysis model presented in this study can be used to predict track behavior when designing and maintaining rail floating tracks in the future.

Recently, deformation of operating railway structures has occurred due to adjacent excavation works such as new structures and utility tunnel expansion concentrated around downtown areas. However, most of them are focused on structural review, repair and reinforcement of structures. A review of the Track is insufficient. In particular, in the case of the gravel track on the earthwork subgrade, the subgrade and the ballast are not solidified. A slight level of deformation can cause ballast relaxation. Sleeper support conditions may lead to unstable conditions. Sufficient safety must be ensured. In addition, it is a track type with a high risk of train derailment due to unstable support conditions. In this study, the correlation between the deformation characteristics of gravel tracks and track support performance according to subgrade deformation is experimentally and analytically verified. In addition, an evaluation technique that can evaluate the condition of the gravel track and the track support stiffness is presented.
