This study focuses on the damage detection of defect types in plate structures based on wavelet transform (WT) and curvelet transform (CT). In particular, for damage detection of structures these transforms have been developed since the last few years. In recent years, the CT approach has been also introduced in an attempt to overcome inherent limitations of traditional multi-scale representations such as wavelets. In this study, the performance of CT is compared with WT in order to demonstrate the capability of WT and CT in detection of defect types in plate structures. To achieve this purpose, the damage detection of defect types through defect shape in rectangular plate is investigated. By using the first mode shape of plate structure and the distribution of the coefficients of the transforms, the damage existence, the defect location and the approximate shape of defect are detected. Moreover, the accuracy and performance generality of the transforms are verified through using experimental modal data of a plate.

The electrical conductivity ($\sigma$) of TiO2 doped with 0.05-4.0mol% Nb2O5 was measured in the oxygen partial pressure range of 10-17 to 100 atm and temperature range of 1100 to 130$0^{\circ}C$ to investigate the electrical properties and defect types. The oxygen partial pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity (log$\sigma$/logPo2) above 110$0^{\circ}C$ was divided into the four regions. From these experimental results the following defect regions were proposed ; 1) Magneli phase(extended defect) 2) reduced rutile region where intrinsic defect predominates 3) nearly stoichiometric region which is independent on the oxygen partical pressure and 4) overstoichiometric region which is not observed in pure TiO2 The electrical conductivity of Nb-doped TiO2 depended on the doping content the oxygen partial pressure and the measuring tem-perature.

Apartment is a typical type of housing preferred by the majority of people. However, and defect disputes occur because various defects such as cracks, subsidence, breakage, water leakage, dew condensation and dropout are confirmed with numerous structures and finishing materials. From this point of view, this paper analyzes defect frequency and costs of each warranty period by work types, and estimates defect risks by using defect dispute cases. It examined about 5,337 defect items for 32 apartment over ten years old. In this paper, there are 10 types of work types and the warranty liability period is divided into 6 categories. Based on these categories, defect frequency and costs are investigated, and finally defect risk of the warranty liability period by work types confirmed. As a result of this analysis, it was found that defect risk in RC and finishing work is very high. Especially the RC work revealed that there is a high risk of trying from the third year onwards and it was found that the defect risk up to the second year is high in the finishing work. Due to aging of RC structure, the defect risk gradually increases, and finishing work initially cause defect disputes because of the housing environment.

This study investigated defect status by work type, based on the report data of defect inspection results, acquired by consumers' request to safety inspection agencies, before the expiration of legal defect repair warranty period. In fact, the data was not acquired by centering on suppliers, namely, construction companies in relation with the defects becoming causes to increase construction cost of apartments. This study aims to provide objective and basic data for quality improvement at construction stage and for solution to defect disputes. The study results are presented below: (1) The number of defect cases occurring from architectural work among total work types were 1,986, defect occurrence rate was 62.5%, and defect repair cost was KRW $25,851/m^2$, which stood at 78.2% of the total work types. This means the defect occurrence rate and defect repair cost in architectural work are bigger than those of other work types. (2) Major defects in architectural work were revealed in the following order: cracks from frame work, inferior interior finishing work, inferior finishing work of plaster/masonry works, water leak/damage from waterproof work and withering/omission from landscape work. The total repair cost of the major selected defects was KRW $12,220/m^2$, and was analyzed to take up 37% of the total defect repair cost.

Due to the lack of available land for housing in Korea, apartment has been supplied in great quantities to raise the rate for land-use since the middle of 1980s. Many people in Korea live in apartment because the number of apartment occupies more than half of total houses. Nevertheless, the concern on the house management with respect to the quality is insufficient, it is currently required the concern on the quality of housing. Moreover, many defects in apartment has been occurred repeatedly now, so, it is necessary to analyze the defect in order to raise the quality of living environment. This study aimed to survey the types of defect in apartment according to the construction types through the questionnaire analysis about apartment residents in Gwangju city for the purpose of reducing the defects.

This paper deals with the algorithm development that inspects defects such as Lens Focus, Black Defect, Dim Defect, Color Defect, White Balance, and Line Defect caused by the process of Compact Camera Module (CCM). These days the demand of CCM goes on increasing in various types like PDA, a cellular phone and PC camera every year. However, owing to the defect inspection of CCM by the semiskilled work the average inspection time of CCM takes about 40 to 50 seconds. As time goes by the efficiency takes a sudden turn for the worse because workers must inspect with seeing a monitor directly. In this paper, to solve these problems, we developed the imaging processing algorithm to inspect the defects in captured image of assembled CCM. The performances of the developed inspection system and its algorithm are tested on many samples. Experimental results reveal that the proposed system can focus the lens of CCM within 5s and we can recognize various types of defect of CCM modules with good accuracy and high speed.

Recently, the cases of lawsuit are growing on residential defects. Though, mostly residential construction companies are trying to mitigate resident's dissatisfaction due to keep the company's brand image by operating customer service team, some representatives of apartment buildings initiate litigations without any negotiation with countrepartner companys incited by planned suit lawyers. But lawsuit takes longtime to sentence(about more than one year), and judged amount of money are very few (averaging about 14%) compared with asserted amount of it. To suggest the improving alternatives, the types and problems of defect lawsuit on apartment complex are analyzed.

Defects are the risk factors in the construction process of buildings. They cause damage, delaying the construction duration. They especially cause adverse effects on the top-down construction method. This study analyzed the degree of construction delay induced by each work type, focusing on defects in the top-down method. Then, we derived construction delay induction coefficient from different work types in order by using the severity of construction delay per defect and the occurrence probability of defect; this assessment model measures the impact of defects on construction delay for each work type. Furthermore, by comparing each work type based on the defect frequency and the construction delay induction coefficient, we found work types that need to be administered attentively. We identified that plastering work was easy to overlook, requiring caution in defect management. This study provides an efficient defect management system suitable for the buildings that are built using the top-down construction method.

In this paper, we design and implement the Film Defect Inspection System (FDIS) that detects film defects and determines their types which can be used for producing polarized films of TFT-LCD. The proposed system is designed to detect film defects from polarized film images using image segmentation techniques and to determine defect types through the image analysis of detected defects. To determine defect types, we extract features such as shape and texture of defects, and compare those features with corresponding features of referential images stored in a template database. Experimental results using FDIS show that the proposed system detects all defects of test images effectively (Precision 1.0, Recall 1.0) and efficiently (within 0.64 second in average), and achieves the considerably high correctness in determining defect types (Precision 0.96 and Recall 0.95 in average). In addition, our system shows the high robustness for rotated transformation of images, achieving Precision 0.95 and Recall 0.89 in average.

As the 3D laser scanning technology capable of databaseing large sewage box culverts becomes possible, it is necessary to develop a standardization manual that can clearly distinguish the structural and operational defect types of box culver and analyze the defect data. In this study, we collected and analyzed defects in sewage box culverts of 14,827m in total by selecting three districts in Korea. The major defects were surface damages, and their defect densities were $2.17m^2/m$, $0.27m^2/m$ and $0.10m^2/m$ for aggregate exposure, Steel reinforcement exposure, and Steel reinforcement projecting. In order to support the decision of the box culverment management, it was divided into five grades and each defect code and defect score were allocated. The results of this study are useful for the diagnosis of the sewage box culverts in Korea and it is expected to support a decision making for management.
