The purpose of this study is to suggest performance levels, a test method, and assessment criteria for the performance assessment to allow standardized tests for rockfall protection systems. The range of rockfall impact energy was determined by using domestic rockfall data and a total of 9 performance levels from 50kJ to 1500kJ were suggested. The performance assessment is implemented by two types of full-scale free-fall impact tests to investigate the serviceability and the maximum capacity as in European and American standards. It was considered to be reasonable that the specimens of rockfall protection systems consist of 3 spans and the concrete block of a polyhedron with 26 faces, similar to spheres, impacts at the center of a center span. Assessment criteria were constructed to investigate whether a rockfall penetrated rockfall protection systems and whether the deformed specimen encroached on the roadway or obstructed the vehicle traffic.

For performance evaluation of modified wide sleepers(MF-140 PSC sleepers), design moment for urban transit was calculated and then performance evaluation criteria were set up according to EN 13230-2. Next, static bend tests, dynamic tests at rail seat section of sleeper were carried out and static bend tests at center section of sleeper were fulfilled. The test results for modified wide sleepers were in excess of performance evaluation criteria and structural safety of sleepers was able to guaranteed from the results. As modifying depth of wide sleepers, construction convenience in underground will be expected to be improved and construction costs will be expected to be decreased.

In order to secure safety and improve work efficiency of forest firefighting crews, performance evaluation criteria for safety gloves were developed. Since the standard for forest firefighting safety gloves is not available in Korea, we started the study based on the standard for firefighting safety gloves operated by KFI. 12 test items were selected excluding 5 test items out of the 17 test items through the consultation of stakeholders and the review of foreign standards. Two types of general safety gloves used by forest firefighting crews and one firefighting gloves were tested by applying KFI standard and the results were compared. Materials such as nylon or polyurethane which are weak to fire are not suitable for forest firefighting safety gloves. We compared the criteria of KFI, ISO 16073, NFPA 1977, NFPA 1971 and BS EN 659, and finally selected 12 test items and acceptance criteria suitable for the work environment of forest firefighting crews in Korea.

The fire performance evaluation methods in Korea and overseas for interior finish materials were analysed and tested with gypsum board and Plywood by using room corner test not adopted by domestic code until now. The results of gypsum board (thickness:8 mm) and Plywood (thickness:4 mm) applying NFPA 265 and ISO 9705 test respectively are satisfied the assessment criteria. To assess a actual fire performance and classify fire hazard levels for interior finish materials, room-corner test and flame spread models should be adopted in building code and fire code to overcome limitations of current bench-scale test method.

The objective of this paper is to present a method for synthetic performance and quality evaluation of dial up network modem in users place. In the past, universally recognized criteria have not been available to model switched network modem performance. Reasonable assurance of modem performance on the public switched telephone network by standardized test channel which is suggested by ELA(Electronic Industries Association). These tests of modem from a variety manufacturers more reflective of actual performance on the network.

Purpose: This article provides a mathematical model for the accelerated degradation test when the performance degradation characteristic follows the lognormal distribution. Method: For developing test plans, the total number of test units and the test time are determined based on the minimization of the asymptotic variance of the q-th quantile of the lifetime distribution at the use condition. Results: The mathematical model for the accelerated degradation test is provided. Conclusion: Accelerated degradation test method is widely used to evaluate the product lifetime within a resonable amount of cost and time. In this article. a mathematical model for the accelerated degradation test method is newly developed for this purposes.

The objectives of this study are to investigate seismic performance of spirally reinforced bridge columns and to provide test result for developing improved seismic design criteria. Quasi-static test was conducted for 12 columns of which variables were transverse reinforcement ratio and spacing, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, and axial load level. Sufficient seismic performance was observed from the test for the columns with greater confinement steel amount than the requirement of the Korean Bridge Design Specification. The columns with 0.84% of the confinement steel requirement provided adequate performance under less than 0.2 of axial load level, but showed lower ductility under 0.3 of axial load level. The current provision for the region of confinement steel distribution may be non-conservative under high axial load level, therefore a modified provision is proposed.

The test system for the performance of the water-mist extinguishing system in the railway vehicle is equipped and the details of the system are introduced. The three scenarios using different fire sources and performance criteria for the water-mist systems on railway vehicles are also introduced. Three different type of the nozzle at same operating pressure are evaluated. Amount of water-mist distribution is measured by many baskets on the bottom of the test room. Temperature on the ceil and the tree of the test room is measured during the tests that are used for the judgement of the performance on the water-mist extinguishing system.

Evaluation criteria of 'Inquiry' for subjects related to information and computer in Vocational Education Section are four and not specified. The purpose of this study is to develope evaluation criteria of 'Inquiry' for subjects related to information and computer in vocational education section. To design evaluation criteria of 'Inquiry', this paper analyzed college entrance tests and performance capabilities of computing graduating. This paper investigated the validity of the contents as judged by a panel of experts. 'Inquiry' was classified 'Analysis', 'Synthesis' and 'Evaluation'. This paper developed three evaluation criteria for 'Analysis', six evaluation criteria for 'Synthesis' and two evaluation criteria for 'Evaluation' with sample evaluation tool.
