South Korea is the world's second-largest importer of LNG and possess about 70 tanks which are in operation by 2017. Thirty years as the design warranty period have exceeded since LNG storage tanks as the core facility of LNG industry were constructed in 1986. The LNG storage tank is under precision safety diagnosis from 2014 due to urban gas business act amendment. There is no criteria of condition evaluation for outer tank of LNG storage tank at the time of precision safety diagnosis. Through analysis of structural characteristic of LNG storage tank and civil structure condition evaluation standards, the criteria of condition evaluation for main members was developed. The criteria of objective condition evaluation can improve safety and reliability of LNG storage tank and suggest matenance criteria.

The purpose of this paper is to establish an evaluation criteria for pavement condition in bicycle road. The suggested criteria would help in the activation policy of bicycle use. The conventional evaluation criteria is difficult to be applied for the bicycle road since the bicycle road is sensitive to changes in the driving environments such as obstacles and bumps. This study presents the evaluation criteria that is suitable for bicycle road. The criteria was suggested in 5 grades through the impact acceleration range of RMSI (Road Monitoring System using ICT). The grades of the criteria are divided into a range of grade A to E. The grade A is a very good condition, while the grade E is a state that requires immediate maintenance. This study were confirmed the validity through the survey of user's satisfaction. According to the results of survey, the grade A was shown correlation of 91%. The grade E requiring immediate repair was presented correlation of 94%. It showed that the results of surveying the bicycle road users are highly correlated with the suggested criteria for pavement condition. It showed that the criteria are highly correlated with the survey results. Suggested criteria using the RMSI is expected to be effective for maintenance of the bicycle road. In addition, it is expected to ensure the serviceability and safety for the bicycle users.

Since the cut slope has been big concern due to frequent failures, the government decided to include cut slopes in the“Act for Safety Control of Public Structures”. Based on the Act, the cut slope whose height is over 50m and length is over 200m should be inspected on the regular basis. According to the Act, KISTEC developed the objective evaluation method for the condition of cut slope. The evaluation method is divided into two categories: evaluation for damaged condition and evaluation for failure affecting factor. Based on the evaluation results, the cut slope is graded from A to E. In this study, the process to evaluate the cut slope condition and the evaluation criteria to divide the grade of cut slope are introduced.

The condition assessment of bridges is one of the important procedures in the safety evaluation of the structures. The current inspection guideline is rather ambiguous and vague so that the inspection results based on the existing guidelines are highly subjective and varing from person to person and even day to day for a given person. It is therefore, necessary to improve the current inspection criteria in order to provide consistent results in safety assessment. To circumvent possible inconsistencies in inspection and rating of bridge components, the revised criteria have been proposed in this study. The proposed guideline and criteria may be efficiently used for the realistic and consistent assessment of bridge structures.

Trouble prevention of facilities in operation process plays an important role for improving facilities productivity as production systemization is installed with development of facilities automatization. Condition monitoring predicts machine's internal changes by periodically recording vibration occurred in the machine. This article considers a method of establishing statistical criteria for facilities troubles by utilizing machine condition evaluation and operation limit standards of ISO 10816-3.

There are two kinds of the design criteria of piping system in petrochemical plant design. The first is on static state evaluation by thermal growth and the other is on dynamic evaluation by piping vibration. In the static design evaluation, the ASME B31.3 code defines 7000 cycles of fatigue life in operating the piping system with design condition. However, the dynamic design evaluation in comparative with small displacements of high frequencies to static condition has not established clearly the method, yet. So, this study purposes to present the trial of a proposal of dynamic design criterion on the basis of static design method.

Here are shown on stress and vibration evaluations and application of piping system in petrochemical plant with and actual example. While stress evaluation by thermal growth has no argument on the calculated results, vibrational evaluations have some different results in accordance with the evaluation methods. In case of the static stress evaluation the ASME B3l.3 code defines 7000 cycles of fatigue lift: in operating the piping system with a design condition. However, the method of vibrational evaluation on piping systems in petrochemical plants has not been established clearly, yet. In this stuffy, it is purposed to present the requirement of a vibrational evaluation method for petrochemical plant piping system, with an actual application.

As the LNG storage tank is aged, if there is a crack in the outer wall concrete or corrosion of the reinforcing steel, there is a risk of a major accident such as collapse of the structure depending on the type and degree of damage. Since 2014, LNG storage tanks have undergone precise safety diagnosis and safety inspection has been carried out. The condition evaluation criteria for each component have been revised and applied in January 2016. The condition evaluation standard is to evaluate the status of storage tanks based on the appearance survey and material test results of LNG storage tanks and it is important for maintenance. In addition, the representative condition evaluation standard that shows the comprehensive state of each LNG storage tank is important in maintenance, but the related standard for LNG storage tank outer concrete is not available in Korea and abroad, and development of the condition evaluation standard is necessary. In this paper, we examined the structural characteristics of LNG storage tanks, analyzed the status of the condition evaluation criteria for each member, and developed a comprehensive status rating system by weighting the members. We used the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique and developed a representative conditon evaluation criteria through surveys of professional organizations.

In this study, researchers developed the criteria evaluating mathematically gifted students' creative products, which contain such evaluation headings as cognitive abilities(; creativity, analytic thinking, expert skill and knowledge), performing ability of the Mathematically Gifted-Creative Problem Solving process. And then a case study is carried out to apply the criteria to an actual condition of mathematically gifted education. This case study shows that how teachers can apply those of model and criteria in actual condition of the mathematically gifted education. Through the criteria above mentioned, the characteristics of creative productivity can be grasped clearly and evaluated in detail.

This study introduces the new way for the evaluation criteria of the Mash-Seam Tailored Blank weldability, The materials used are low carbon automotive galvanized and high strength steels and the evaluation of weldability are examined with various thickness. Welding tests were conducted for both similar thickness and dissimilar thickness cases. The criteria developed for optimum welding conditions were based on the relationship among results of die press forming test, forming limit diagram, Erichsen test and microhardness measurements. The application of the developed criteria(fracture ratio, strength ratio, etc) in obtaining optimum welding condition revealed that a weld which satisfied ant of the criteria did not fracture during actual die press test and FLD dome test.
