The purpose of this study is to provide basic information for unreinforced masonry building in Korea by application of the proposed seismic evaluation method. In this study, seismic capacities of 50 existing unreinforced masonry buildings are evaluated based on the proposed method. Also, relationships of seismic capacities between Korean earthquake damage ratios of Korean unreinforced masonry buildings are estimated. Results of this study were as follows; 1)Seismic retrofit was needed $4{\sim}48%$ in Korean unreinforced masonry buildings. 2)Korean unreinforced masonry buildings were expected to have severe damage under the earthquake intensity level experienced in Japan.

This paper deals with the applicability of long-gauge deformation fiber optic sensors (FOS) to prestressed concrete structures. A main motivation is the desire to monitor the deflection of the railway bridges without intervenes of the signal intensity fluctuations. A 25 m long, 1.8 m deep PSC girder was fabricated compositely with 22 cm thick reinforced concrete deck. Two pairs of 3 m long-gauge sensors are attached to the prestressed concrete girder with parallel topology. Using the relationship between curvature and vortical deflection and the quadratic regression of curvatures at the discrete point, it is possible to extrapolate the deflection curve of the girder. The estimated deflection based on the developed method is compared with the results using conventional strain gauges and LVDTS. It has been demonstrated that the proposed instrumentation technique is capable of estimating the vertical deflection and neutral axis position of the prestressed concrete girder up to weak nonlinear region.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the effect of wobble and nonconcentricity of tubes or rods in eddy current test with encircling test coils. Because the eddy current induced in a sample is related to the total magnetic flux linkages, the information about magnetic field distribution in a coil is important. In theoretical study, magnetic field distribution in a single turn coil was calculated and variation of impedance according to the difference of sample positions was presumed. Magnetic field intensity at inside of a solenoidal coil was measured and compared with the theoretical estimation. In experiment, impedance loci of a coil encircling an aluminum rod were measured at different sample positions. The effect of crack positions was examined at same sample positons.

Lee (2008) proposed the pansharpening method to reconstruct at the higher resolution the multispectral images which agree with the spectral values observed from the sensor of the lower resolution values. It outperformed over several current techniques for the statistical analysis with quantitative measures, and generated the imagery of good quality for visual interpretation. However, if a small object stretches over two adjacent pixels with different spectral characteristics at the lower resolution, the pixels of the object at the higher resolution may have different multispectral values according to their location even though they have a same intensity in the panchromatic image of higher resolution. To correct this problem, this study employed an iterative technique similar to the image restoration scheme of Point-Jacobian iterative MAP estimation. The effect of pansharpening on image segmentation/classification was assessed for various techniques. The method was applied to the IKONOS image acquired over the area around Anyang City of Korea.

We are often faced with the task of having to estimate the amplitude of a source signal in the presence of a background. In the simplest case, the background can be taken as being flat, and of unknown magnitude B, and the source signal of interest assumed to be the amplitude A of a peak of known shape and position. We present a robust method to find the most probable values of A and B by applying the one-dimensional Newton-Raphson method. In the derivation of the formula, we adopted the Bayesian statistics and assmumed Poisson distribution so that the results could be applied to the analysis of very weak signals, as observed in FIMS (Far-ultraviolet IMaging Spectrogaph).

An inverse heat conduction problem(IHCP) arises when unknown heat fluxes and whole temperature field are to be found with temperature measurements of a few points. In this paper, observers are proposed as solution algorithm for the IHCP. A 1-dimensional heat transfer problem is modeled with modal analysis and state space equations. Position of the heat source is estimated through test heat inputs and the autocorrelation among a few of temperature data. The modified Bass-Gura method is used to design a state observer to estimate the intensity of heat source and the whole temperature field of a 1-dimensional body. To verify the reliability of this estimator, analytic solutions obtained from the proposed method are compared.

This study has explained about LED for BLU which is widely used in the kinds of display devices or lighting. It was shown that the open due to delamination were the dominant LED for BLU failure mode and mechanisms from failure analysis of LED samples. Then, we have defined failure as yellowing and 100% reduction of light output intensity of LED for BLU and acceleration factors as temperature and current in Accelerated Life Test(ALT). Finally, we have estimated the Weibull distribution, life-stress relationship, and accelerating factor is used by ALTA Software.

최근 동아시아의 발원지에서부터 편서풍을 따라 이동해 오는 황사는 중국의 북동부 공업지대에서 방출되는 중금속 오염물질까지 함께 섞여 수송되므로 그 피해는 훨씬 심각하다. 지난 20년 동안 황사에 대한 많은 연구가 발원지의 기원, 수송 및 침적 메카니즘, 그리고 황사의 광학적 특성과 물리적 특성의 정성분석을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 이들 연구는 주로 위성, 라이다. 원격탐사 그리고 기타 지표관측 자료를 이용하여 황사의 광학적 두께 및 화학성분 분석, 일기도를 이용한 기상장 분석, 그리고 중규모 기상 모델과 황사의 장거리 수송에 집중되어 있었다(정관영과 박순웅, 1997; Murayama et al., 2001).

The Korean government recently has rediscovered the potential value of Han-Ok, the Korean traditional house, as an eco-friendly building. In order to objectively verify the environmental performance of Han-Ok as a low carbon green building, this paper suggests the analysis method of GHG emission load of Korean traditional house, based on Life Cycle Assessment, which is commonly abbreviated to "LCA". The environmental impacts caused by building construction and operation can be analyzed through the sum of input and output data from every phase. The study particularly describes the GHG reduction effect by using traditional building materials such as wood products, traditional clay roof tiles, and mud, which are mainly used to construct Han-Ok. Also the study proposes the method for comparative analysis of quantity of GHG emissions in building's entire life cycle so that the data can be used as a reliable basis to optimize the environmental performance of building.

강우침식인자를 구하기 위해서는 개별 호우사상의 30분 최대 강우강도를 산정해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 연속된 분단위 강우자료가 필요하지만, 자료 획득이 제한되어 지점별로 보다 얻기 쉬운 시간 단위 강우량을 이용하여 30분 최대 강우강도를 추정하려는 노력이 있어왔다. 본 연구는 시강우량을 이용하여 개별 호우사상의 30분 최대 강우강도를 추정하기 위한 것으로서 대구 지점의 1960년~1999년 기간의 818개 호우사상을 이용하였다. 분류된 호우사상별 30분 최대 강우강도를 기상청으로부터 획득한 분단위 강우자료를 이용하여 산출한 뒤, 이를 참값으로 하여 60분 최대 강우강도와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 대구 지점의 60분 최대 강우강도로부터 30분 최대 강우강도를 추정할 수 있는 변환계수는 1.228로 나타났으며, 고정시간 1시간 최대 강우강도로부터 30분 최대 강우강도를 추정할 수 있는 변환계수는 1.3778로 나타났다.
