Annual roadbed failure due to the rainfall has brought out the social and economic damage such as the loss of life and property, the consumption of time and cost for recovery, and the delay of logistics in railway. However, there was not an appropriate way that could be used as a permanent solution. As a suggestion of the answer to this problem, the method using Geotextile Container was considered for the rehabilitation of the failed railway roadbed, and the numerical analysis is applied for the evaluation of the slope stability. This study focused on the most common case among the roadbed failures. In addition, the investigation for the applicability of this method as a permanent use was made.

Qualification includes all activities to demonstrate that a product meets and exceeds the reliability goals. Manufacturers need to spend time and resources for the qualification processes under the pressure of reducing time to market, as well as offering a competitive price. Failure to qualify a product could result in economic loss such as warranty and recall claims and the manufacturer could lose the reputation in the market. In order to provide valid and reliable qualification results, manufacturers are required to make extra effort based on the operational and environmental characteristics of the product. This paper discusses optimal interval censoring design for reliability prediction of electronic packages under limited time and resources. This design should provide more accurate assessment of package capability and thus deliver better reliability prediction.

The paper deals with the proper design of GGH(gas-gas heater) panel elements of desulfurization equipments in a thermoelectric power plant. When fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum et cetera are burnt to ashes, sulfur oxide compounds are produced, and calcareous sludges are deposited at GGH panel elements. In this case, operation of a power plant equipments is interrupted, and a tremendous economic loss comes into existence. One of the purposes of the paper is to find flow velocity distributions and regions of depositions when calcareous sludges pile up on the GGH panel elements through the fluid analysis. In the fluid analysis, flow velocity and position distributions of particles between GGH panel elements are demonstrated according to time variation for ammonia and calcium hydroxide particles.

This Paper Presents a new analytic load decrement method for the evaluation of avoided generation costs of independent power producers (IPPs), named as probabilistic load decrement method. Unlike conventional load decrement methods, the proposed method exactly consider the random outage characteristic of a generating unit, economic dispatch order, and the resulting loss of load probability. Therefore, we can Provide the exact generation avoided costs of an IPP by applying the developed method. In the case studies, we have shown the correctness and effectiveness of the method, and compared with conventional load decrement methods.

According to the macroeconomic allocation efficiency measure, particularly based on the methodology of Hsieh and Klenow (2009), Korea's allocation efficiency in the manufacturing industry deteriorated in the 2000s compared to that in the 1990s. This study compares the potential TFP gain when resource allocation is removed, an indicator of allocation inefficiency according to Hsieh and Klenow (2009), and the productivity dispersion in the Korean manufacturing industry. It finds that the TFP gain may be better explained by TFP dispersions rather than proxies related to factors of distortion. The findings imply that we should investigate the sources of TFP dispersion rather than the sources of distortion to explain increases in the TFP gain (or TFP loss), which is considered as allocation inefficiency in the literature.

Since the mid of 1970's, the construction of infrastructure has been booming and accelerating to keep up with rapid economic growth. Fast achievement of most construction activities has caused unfavorable effects of civil petitions associated with damages and nuisances due to last hasty works. it is well known that the falling down of Sungsoo bridge and the collapse of Sampoong department and other structures have occurred because of the construction not conforming with the specification, and thereby incurred enormous loss of life and property. Now a days. a periodic inspection and maintenance have been strongly interested on aged RC structures, of repair and reinforcement technique in the country, most repairing and reinforcing works have been performed on the basis of the guidance of few experienced local company in this field.

Die design of bonnet drawing is composed of upper die, lower die and blank holder. It has been performed by checked and re-design method, which cause economic and financial loss. Nowadays, CAD/CAM system is excellent, but Application is low. Therefore, in specific item, drawing die of bonnet outer draw by 3-D Lay-Out. In this study purpose, Bonnet drawing die is designed rapidly, correctly. It's method that shape modify to resemble. This purpose lead to 3-D Lay-Out. It is to react the standard die. In rule relation, input data change all of the shape

Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are used to control fluid flow in nuclear power plants. A periodic diagnosis for the safety of power plants is necessary. But there are many difficulties such as economic loss caused by income of high cost devices and a matter hard to deal with users. In this study, we developed the diagnostic system that users of power plants are easy to handle. The diagnostic system is composed of database module, diagnosis test module and analysis module.

This paper proposes a new resource allocation system where overall performance can be improved using production smoothing method. In economic point of view, market price is determined by the market mechanism that is subject to the law of demand and supply. Similarly, agents determine whether to allocate tasks to machines by profit and loss or not. In existing resource allocation system, tasks are exclusively allocated to agents with better manufacturing conditions, because they are evaluated by the only currency. But in the proposed resource allocation system, agents are evaluated by not only a currency but also machine specifications. Hereby, the production smoothing is achieved and we expect to improve system performance In this study, we propose a resource allocation system with consideration of Production Smoothing.
