Automatic on-line surface inspection systems have been applied for monitoring a quality of steel strip surfaces. One of the important issues in this application is the performance of on-line defect classifiers. Rule-based classification table methods which are conventionally used for this purpose have been suffered from their low performances. In this work, probabilistic neural networks and the enhanced classification tables which are newly proposed here are applied as alternative on-line classifiers to identify types of surface defects on cold rolled strips. Probabilistic neural networks have shown very excellent performance for classification of surface defects.

The development of building must be accompanied with construction technology and performance of materials. In particular, wet processes have a high level of dependence on manpower and a low level of diversification of materials used. This study aimed to determine the applicability of various materials for wet process, mechanized construction and eco-friendly building materials through a comparison with dry premixed mortar. As a result, it was found that resin plaster and gypsum plaster's strength is lower than that of dry cement mortar, but their mechanization application, construction simplification, smoothness and bond strength are higher than that of dry cement mortar. And estimate that is valid as workability, bonding strength, eco-friendly building material in occasion of gypsum plaster.

The waterproofing system's performance is known to show a determing by complex interaction of material factors, design details, and the quality of construction, and the waterproofing integrity of waterproofing membranes is determined by the bond to the deck and the amount of damage to the waterproofing membrane. In this research, the basic properties of waterproofing membranes on market and the tensile adhesive chracteristics of waterproofing systems of concrete bridge deck have also been investigated in the view of the damages frequently reported from job site. For the tensile adhesive strength of sheet waterproofing membranes, the results after asphalt concrete paving tends to increase more than before those. The results of the liquid waterproofing membranes are upside-down, and the more concrete has strength, the more strength of tensile adhesive increase. The ambient temperature of asphalt concrete when application of the waterproofing membrane has considerable influence on the performance of waterproofing system. As described above, waterproofing system can be influenced by several factors. If they are not considered under construction, the overlooking will cause the damages of pavement and waterproofing system after traffic opening.

볼트, 너트 등의 파스너는 건축 재료나 기계부품을 고정하는 데 사용하는 기계요소로, 건축, 철도, 조선 등 전 산업분야에 걸쳐 사용되고 있다. 그 중 스테인리스 소재의 볼트, 너트는 뛰어난 내식성과 저렴한 가격으로 널리 사용되고 있는데, 소재의 특성 및 작업현장의 상황, 온도의 변화 등의 원인에 의해 고착현상(galling)이 발생한다. 고착현상이란 성분 혹은 표면경도가 비슷한 금속의 나사산을 조이는 과정에서 발생하는 압력의 증가 및 마찰력에 의해 냉간 용접(cold welding)이 일어나는 것으로 나사산의 표면이 눌어붙게 된다. 이러한 고착현상은 스테인리스 소재에서 많이 발생하는데, 한번 발생한 후에는 비파괴 해소가 불가능한 상태가 되어 경제적 손실을 야기한다. 이러한 고착현상의 해소를 위해 본 연구에서는 주석과 알루미늄을 사용한 새로운 열 확산 코팅 기술을 개발하고 이를 304 스테인리스강에 적용하여 열처리 온도에 따른 특성변화를 확인하였다. 열 확산 코팅을 위해 팩 세멘테이션 방법을 이용하여 아르곤 분위기 하에서 열처리 하였고, 온도는 $200{\sim}250^{\circ}C$에서 코팅을 수행하였다. 이에 따른 코팅 전과 후의 표면 및 단면 분석을 통해 성공적으로 코팅층이 형성됨을 확인하였고, 온도가 증가함에 따라 코팅성분의 양이 증가하는 현상을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 고착방지성능을 확인하기 위하여 ASTM G196-08 시험을 통해 코팅조건에 따른 고착현상을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 기존에 코팅되지 않은 304 스테인리스강보다 고착현상이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 304 스테인리스강 소재의 볼트, 너트 제품에 주석-알루미늄 코팅층을 적용시키면 기존의 고착현상을 개선하고 서비스 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In a direct sea water electrolysis system, deposits on the electrode cause decrease in the performance and increase in electrode damage. To reduce the deposition on the electrode, the modified cells were developed, namely: replaced grating type anodes with plate type ones; reduced the number of anodes from 9 to 8; widened the electrode gap from 2.4 mm to 3.0 mm; and reduced the number of spacers. that maintained the electrode gap, from 27 to 10. The developed cells were installed and tested at a power plant. The modified cells reduced deposition by 36~60%. The current efficiency increased by 15~20%. The electricity consumption reduced by 20%. In each case, the comparisons were between the modified cells and standard cells.

The rockfall protection fence is one of the most common rockfall protection methods in Korea. The typical rockfall protection fence consists mainly of three parts ; H-beam supports, wire meshes, and wire ropes. The design of the rockfall protection fence is made such that the total energy absorbing capacity of the fence. Therefore, resulting from the combined energy absorbing capacity of the three parts is larger than the falling energy of rocks. In present study, a new rockfall protection fence, constructed using expanded metals instead of the existing wire rope and wire mesh for the typical type of rockfall protection fence, was evaluated on its performance by conducting both laboratory and field tests. Also, for a comparison, the same tests were performed on the typical rockfall protection fence. The test results revealed that the expanded material is an economic alternative to the existing protection materials and the expanded metal rockfall protection fence exhibits the higher energy absorbing capacity compared to that of the typical rockfall protection fence.

$CO_2$ welding is used widely in the field. On the other hand, welding defects occur when welders cannot adjust the current and voltage needed for welding and have to stop working to adjust the current and voltage, causing sudden cooling down of the welding structure inside a vehicle or tank where the control panel is invisible or when work site is far. This study used three types of existing $CO_2$ welders. This also applied SS400 rolled steel for welding structural purposes for remote control torch welding, perform a welding test through v-groove butt welding with a remote control torch and existing $CO_2$ welding torch, conducted visual inspection on the appearance of a welded top bead. In addition, the appearance quality of the welding part was monitored mainly through penetrant testing and a bending test to evaluate the welding defect reduction and the effect on the performance and compatibility by replacing the existing welder.

In this thesis, the effect of switch maintenance improvement is confirmed after testing and operating the switch monitoring system that were researched and developed originally in order to improve method of electric switch maintenance. However, as in an automatic interlocking station where a ground crew was not placed, repair and inspection could not be carried out until the maintenance person comes in case of switch problems or maintenance. In order to improve this issue, control module was installed in a monitoring system which can communicate through a data radio to a remote computer. Thus, the monitoring device can receive control information which a remote computer commands during the operation of switches. Afterward, it shows information on the real-time status of swith, in particular, anomaly situation through user interface after the switch is operated. By improving performance of the monitoring system in this way which can be managed and controled at a remote place, the prompt countermeasure system in case of disruption will be built and as a result, efficiency and convenience of maintenance improvement will be expected to increase.

Smart Highway is the intelligent highway that improves a traffic safety, reduces incidence of traffic accidents, and supports intelligent and convenient driving environment so that drivers can drive at high speeds in safety[1]. In order to implement the highway, it is required to gather a dangerous data such as obstacle, wild animal, disabled car, etc. To provide the situation information of the highway, it has been gathered traffic information using various sensors. However, this technique has problems such as the problems of various information gathering, lack of accuracy depending on weather conditions and limitation of maintenance. Therefore, in order to provide safe driving information to driver by gathering dangerous condition, radar system is needed. In this paper, we used a developing 34.5GHz RWR(Road Watch Radar) radar for gathering dangerous information and we verified performance of obstacle detecting and resolution through field test.

When the concrete is subjected to chloride attack or carbonation, the passive steel normally initiate corrosion. By product of corrosion make volume of concrete expand 3 to 8 times and induce the stress which lead cracking and spalling of concrete. It result in the loss of the integrity of the concrete structures. Several corrosion inhibitors imported from America, Japan and Europe are currently being used to repair the concrete structures in Korea. However, questions has been raised for protective effect of the corrosion inhibitors which applied in steel reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, we investigated the influence of type and amount of corrosion inhibitors through the tests immersing in salty water. In addition, we developed the corrosion inhibitive agent treating to surface of concrete structures for improving resistance to penetration and corrosion of the steel reinforcement.
