In this paper, characteristics of Acoustic Emission in Low Density Polyethylene were studied from tree initiation to breakdown under long-term inhomogeneous alternative electrical field. The voltage levels used were 9, 11 and 14[kV]. Especially, a newly developed automatic measuring system was used to measure time variations of AE average amplitude, AE pulse number, AE pulse distribution patterns due to polarities. The patterns wer specially the variated patterns, when tree propagated. Also, parameters for dielectric breakdown prediction, which were suggested by Okamoto, were calculated. The result was analysed by tree shapes and partial discharge activities in tree due to tree initiation and propagation.

The structures exposed to marine environment do not show long-term durability due to corrosion of steel and deterioration of concrete by the attack of various salts dissolved in sea water. In this study, Partial substitution of cement with fly ash(20%) or blast furnace slag(40%) was made together with the addition of 4 different corrosion-inhibitors, as a protective measure of concrete structures against chemical attack of salts. Combined effects of mineral and corrosion-inhibiting admixtures were tested by measuring the resistance and compressive strength of concretes under the simulated tidal condition, which consists of alternating 12 hour periods of immersion in artificial sea water and drying in air. Both the strength and concrete resistance were found to decrease in following order, regardless of the corrosion inhibitors the concretes with blast furnace slag, those with fly ash and those without any mineral admixtures. The interrelation between compressive strength of concrete and resistance was investigated.

A slipring or FORJ are usually adopted in order for power supply of Geo-centrifuge and input/output data acquisition. Since using slipring causes quite a lot electrical noise, an optical communication using FORJ becomes more general for data acquisition. Such data acquisition devices, however, require frequent maintenance and replacement due to deterioration by long term usage. DICT has set up a real-time wireless date acquisition system using wireless communication technology instead of FORJ. The system enables a remote measurement at any inertial acceleration field up to 100g level and provides as same performance as FORJ. The priority of this system is to use a normal modem substituting a special FORJ.

The corrosion of steel reinforcing bar(re-bar) has been the major cause of the reinforced concrete deterioration. FRP(Fiber-reinforced polymer) reinforcing bar has emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in structural concrete. In this study, long-term durability performance of FRP re-bar were evaluated. The mechanical and durability properties of two type of CFRP- and GFRP re-bar were investigated; the FRP re-bars were subjected to alkaline solution, acid solution, salt solution and deionized water. The mechanical and durability properties were investigated by performing tensile and short beam tests. Experimental results confirmed the desirable resistance of FRP re-bar to aggressive chemical environment.

Recently, CV, CNCV, CNCV-W cable are used to transmit and distribute electric power. And a lot of researchers put more effort to realize high performance. The dielectric breakdown strength characteristic is a standard to design insulators. Examination of that is a main factor to determine long term insulation performance, which is used to diagnose Insulation deterioration. In this paper, we prepared XLPE, XLPE/nano-filler, LDPE/nano-filler for comparing each of the dielectric breakdown strength characteristics.

As the demand on nuclear power is increasing, it is required to investigate for concrete durability in nuclear structure. However, the inspected datas for durability are insufficient in nuclear structure. The test specimens are prepared according to the mix design that has been used in the domestic nuclear structure. And, the characteristics of durability are investigated for the specimens. It will be needed to estimate the long-term durability.

In these days, the deterioration of bridges make it necessary for decks to be replaced and it is inevitable to apply the precast decks to minimize the traffic control induced from the deck placement. This precast deck construction makes the physically discontinuous interface between old and new concrete. Usually, the adhesive force at this interface are ignored. However, for crack behavior and reliable long term behavior, it is required to evaluate the exact value of the cohesive force at the interface. This research investigates the cohesive characteristics at the interface. Four different interface surface conditions are tested and three different methods are used to measure the cohesive strength at the interface. In addition, cohesive characteristic at the surface between precast panels are investigated with different interface surface conditions.

To assess the deterioration condition of stator insulation, diagnostic and overpotential tests were performed on two high voltage(HV) motors for circulating water pump (CWP). Following the long term rewinding program, the diagnostic test was performed on two motors during the planning maintenance period. After completing the diagnostic test, overpotential test was done on the stator windings of HV motors. During the overpotential test, the No. 1 and No. 2 of HV motors failed at 8.8 kV and 7.9 kV, respectively. Stator windings of two HV motors had deteriorated significantly.

The purpose of this article was to evaluate the effects of reimbursement system on the basis of diagnosis-related groups(DRGs). We searched articles which was published from 1970 to 2000 using MEDLINE ； Key words "diagnosis-related groups, DRGs, prospective payment system, PPS. Then we reviewed 97 articles on classifying them into several categories of contents. It seems that the effects of DRGs in controlling hospitals cost in the U.S. was not clear cut. The U.S. Medicare PPS using DRGs remains vulnerable to compensatory increases in ambulatory care and long-term care facilities utilization despite cost per case and cost per admission being reduced. Also some research indicated the possibilities of deterioration in health care service quality. So putting theses results together, much more consideration is needed before the application of DRGs reimbursement system in Korea. Particularly there is the crucial difference between U.S. health care system and Korean, we must be aware of the limitations of DRGs and revise the DRG system to applicable in Korea.orea.

Decing agent with chloride promote frost damage of concrete structure in winter period. From the safetyside, however, it is difficult to stop using chloride. Therefore, the durable concrete is required from now on. In this paper, long-term freezing and thawing test was carried out using the freezing water containing $CaCl_{2}$ to consider the concrete scaling according to the kind of binders, such as OPC, Flyash, Slag+Fa. and Slag As a result, it was found that the degree of scaling is different with containing slag being considered to prevent the penetration chloride ion and according to each binders.
