  • In this study, an extensive literature review has been conducted on the material characterization of UHPC and its potential for large-scale field applicability. The successful production of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) depends on its material ingredients and mixture proportioning, which leads to denser and relatively more homogenous particle packing. A database was compiled from various research and field studies around the world on the mechanical and durability performance of UHPC. It is shown that UHPC provides a viable and long-term solution for improved sustainable construction owing to its ultrahigh strength properties, improved fatigue behavior and very low porosity, leading to excellent resistance against aggressive environments. The literature review revealed that the curing regimes and fiber dosage are the main factors that control the mechanical and durability properties of UHPC. Currently, the applications of UHPC in construction are very limited due to its higher initial cost, lack of contractor experience and the absence of widely accepted design provisions. However, sustained research progress in producing UHPC using locally available materials under normal curing conditions should reduce its material cost. Current challenges regarding the implementation of UHPC in full-scale structures are highlighted. This study strives to assist engineers, consultants, contractors and other construction industry stakeholders to better understand the unique characteristics and capabilities of UHPC, which should demystify this resilient and sustainable construction material.

  • This paper describes the implementation procedures and results of Fishery Safety and Security System to secure an aquaculture area from a thief. The system designed with various functional modules to implement selectively available system providing low cost to high cost and simple function to high function according to user's requirement in a practical fishing fields. In the abalone farm field located in Jin island, Jeonranam province and having condensed aquaculture facilities with 50 cages (10 row by 5 column) within 0.5 miles from coast, practical field tests are carried out. As results from that tests, it is found that the system can guard not only the whole area of cultivating farm field but also each cages with detail.

  • This paper describes a new voltage sag-swell generator for the test of custom power devices such as UPS, DVR, DSTATCOM, SSTS, etc. Voltage sag, swell, outage, and unbalance generation mechanism and the operating principle are described for the proposed scheme. The usefulness of the scheme is proved through simulations and experiments. The proposed scheme has good features of simple structure, high reliability, wide range of sag and swell variation, and easy control. Especially, the scheme can provide a cost-effective implementation of a power quality disturbance generator. Therefore, it is expected that the scheme will contribute to the self implementation of the system with low cost in laboratory.

  • Oscillation-based testing of analog-to-digital converters represents a viable option for low-cost built-in self-testing in mixed-signal design. While numerous papers have addressed implementation issues, little attention has been paid to the measurement accuracy. In this letter, we highlight an inherent measurement uncertainty which has to be considered when deriving the parameters from the oscillation frequency.
