To find out the reason of accident by being stained of insulators, this paper researched and analyzed the result of electrical characteristic test and field test of EHV insulator through artificial contaminated method. The best way to evaluate contaminated level of insulator surface is getting a contamination data by regional groups continually. But it is needed a lot of time and manpower. To overcome those difficulties, this research introduced ESDD(equivalent salt deposit density) measurement method which is adapted to the international codes of IEC and compared the relation between experimental test results which contaminated insulators by going through stain procedure and electrical measurement results.

In recent years, FRP plates have been studied for flexural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good Quality control. This study presents experimental field test results for the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of the RC slab using external prestressing with thin CFRP strips made by the pultrusion process. It was demonstrated that flexural strength was considerably increased with relatively easy installation when compared to the other methods used for the composite reinforcement.

It describes a design analysis and test results of an energy transfer system which consists of two 0.5 MJ superconducting coil and three Inverter-Converter Bridges(hereinafter called ICB). A point of design is to satisfy the required stored energy capacity rather than magnetic field density with minimum energy transfer time using the calculation results of state-space averaging methods instead of Fourier series. It is proven that the considered methods are effectively through system experiments.

Piles are widely used in structural foundations of engineering projects. However, the deformation of the soil around the pile caused by driving process has an adverse effect on adjacent existing underground buildings. Many previous studies have addressed related problems in sand and saturated clay. Nevertheless, the failure mechanism of pile driving in unsaturated soil remains scarcely reported, and this issue needs to be studied. In this study, a modeling test system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) was developed for studying deformation characteristics of pile driving in unsaturated silt with different water contents. Meanwhile, a series of direct shear tests and soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) tests also were conducted. The test results show that the displacement field shows an apparent squeezing effect under the pile end. The installation pressure and displacement field characteristics are sensitive to the water content. The installation pressure is the largest and the total displacement field is the smallest, for specimens compacted at water content of 11.5%. These observations can be reasonably interpreted according to the relevant unsaturated silt theory derived from SWCC tests and direct shear tests. The variation characteristics of the soil displacement field reflect the macroscopic mechanical properties of the soil around the pile.

In the measurement of atmospheric static electric field, it is important to know characteristics of corona discharges caused at the tip of test electrode. This paper presents the fundamental data of DC corona discharges that occurred at the tip of a needle-shaped electrode placed in the homogeneous background electric field which simulates the atmospheric static field under thundercloud. The major characteristics of interest for this purpose are the polarity effect of corona discharges and the magnitudes and time intervals of corona current pulses. The experimental set-up consists of the plate-to-plate configuration with a needle-shaped protrusion, DC power supply, and voltage and current measuring devices. As a result of experiments, the polarity dependence of corona pulses is significantly pronounced. The time intervals between successive corona pulses in the negative polarity is much longer than those in the positive polarity. The time intervals for both polarities is drastically decreased as the applied electric field is increased. Also the magnitudes of the positive corona pulses are slightly changed with an increase in applied electric field, but those of the negative corona pulses are linearly increased with increasing the applied electric fields.

Apartments covered with a metal roof made from galvalume steel are prevailing due to their economic and technical advantages. The metal roof, however, has disadvantages in terms of the installation of air-termination system on it because of the slip thickness of the metal roof. In this paper, the impacts of the lightning current to a metal roof were verified experimentally with a short lightning impulse current (10/350[${\mu}s$]). Also, we developed various supporters of air-termination conductor for the metal roof and verified their excellent workability and economical strength through field application test.

Because of power consumption increase, global wanning, and limitation of installation, not only high reliability and interruption capability but also compact and light power apparatuses are needed. To improve the insulation performance, the high E field concentration phenomena was considered. Breakdown mechanism in vacuum is different from that in other insulation materials. therefore, It is necessary to understand the electric field distribution and insulation characteristics. This paper discusses the simulation and LI(light impulse) test of the shield of outside vacuum interrupter As a result, FEM simulation and LI test show that improve distribution of electrical field and equi-potential line. due to external shield. in this case, outside shield induced electric field of triple junction point.

The KHC Test Road project was initiated on 1991 to develop Korean Pavement Design Guide. It was constructed along the Joongbu Inland Expressway line between Yeoju and Gamgok. It is two-lane wide expressway containing fifteen asphalt and twenty-five Portland cement concrete test pavement sections. Various sensors were installed in the Test Road to evaluate the behavior of test pavement sections under the influence of traffic load and environmental change. The most important issues in the sensor installation are the accurate location and long-term survivability. They are directly influenced by the sensor installation methodology. The methodology for asphalt strain gages is mainly discussed in this paper because it is the second important sensors in the KHC Test Road project. In order to find the best methodology, we evaluated existing methodology from prior experience and several conducted test installations. We have tried mound, block out, and trench cuts since 2000. Among three methods, block out was the most effective one in terms of accurate location, long-term survivability, and material homogeneity. However, this method cannot be applied to the wearing coarse so that the mound method was used as an alternative. The block out method was applied to base and intermediate layers while the mound method was used to the wearing coarse. Three hundred seventy-four asphalt strain gauges were installed on asphalt pavement sections from September 3rd to November 18th in 2002. According to the sensor measurement evaluation, 6.3% of sensor demonstrated over ranged readings for mound method installation and 2.5% did for block out method installation. We lost only two sensors during the installation. It is 99.5% survival and it is excellent survival rate according to other experience.

The existing power flow has a single direction to the line end but the bidirectional power flow will possibly occur depending on the output capacity in the 22.9[kV] distribution power system connected with the dispersed generation(DG). So these characteristics would influence the power system management. The DG have many advantages such as assistance source, Load share etc. So the utility must apply the bidirectional protection system so as to maximize an advantage of DG. This paper describes the field test case of bidirectional protective device in order to investigate the device performance when applied to bidirectional power system. We have tested in the power system test site of KEPCO and these tests provide the basis for performance verification test of bidirectional protective device in the power system.
