In order to ensure the construction of sustainable reinforced concrete structures, durability evaluation of RC structures before construction should be carried out. In this paper, a service life evaluation technique using a safety factor determined by a reliability theory for RC structures subjected to chloride attack is proposed. The life safety factor and the service life evaluation .proposed in this paper can be applied consistently for the durability evaluation of recently developed Korean standard specification for durability of concrete structures which be used effectively for the evaluation before construction and maintenance for RC structures under chloride attack.

In order to investigate the effect and reliability coming up to properties of the matter due to the change of solid structure in dielectrics, the effect of dielectric characteristics for thermal treated LDPE film was made researches. Specimens of LDPE with thickness 100 [$\mu\textrm{m}$] were investigated into the change of solid structure by ageing. Thermal treated specimen were made, that were after applying heat at 100 [$^{\circ}C$] for 1 [hour] \circled1 air-cooled specimen slowly, \circled2 water-cooled specimen under the ,com temperature, \circled3 liquid nitrogen gas-cooled specimen rapidly. With specimen of thermal treated three types turn out and original, it was for dielectric characteristics to be experimented in the temperature range of 20~120 [$^{\circ}C$], frequency range of 30~1.5${\times}10^5/$[Hz], appling voltage from 300 to 1500[㎷]. Consequently, the degree of crystallinity was changed with 49~57 [%] according to the thermal treatment. In case of frequency, 100 [Hz], on the thermal dependance in dielectric characteristics, tan decreases due to cooling method.

As vehicles become more intelligent this is focused on ways to enhance safety and convenience for both drivers and passengers. In particular, x-by-wire systems that replace rigid mechanical components with dynamically configurable electronic elements are being developed to expand intelligent functions, such as adaptive cruise control or lane departure warning system. Because the malfunction of safety-related modules controlling critical functions, such as brakes, throttle, and steering in x-by-wire systems, can cause injury or death, safety and reliability are the most critical issue for automotive vendors and parts manufacturers. In an effort to develop better and effective brake-by-wire system, this paper presents EMB system by using the low speed electric vehicle, which is not required large braking force, with motor controller. In addition, we design performance evaluation system of EMB with 1/4 low speed electric vehicle model and suggested EMB is evaluated through the performance evaluation system.

In recent years, it is very important that hydrogen storage system is safe for user in any circumstances in case of crash and fire. Because the hydrogen vehicle usually carry high pressurized cylinders, it is necessary to do safety design for fire. The Global Technical Regulation (GTR) has been enacted for localized and engulfing fire test. High pressure hydrogen storage system of fuel cell electrical vehicles are equipped with Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) installed in pressured tank cylinder to prevent the explosion of the tank during a fire. TPRDs are safety devices that perceive a fire and release gas in the pressure tank cylinder before it is exploded. In this paper, we observed the localized and engulfing behavior of tank safety, regarding the difference of size and types of the tanks in accordance with GTR.

The research on the explosive limits is one of fundamental fields of combustion process, and information on the explosive limits of mixture of fuel and oxidant, with or without additives, is very important for the prevention in industrial fire and explosion accidents. Explosive limits of all compounds and solvent mixtures can be calculated with the appropriate use of the fundamental laws of Raoult, Batten, Le Chatelier and MRSM(modified response surface methodology) model. In this study, the reference values of lower explosive limits(LEL) of the ethanol+toluene+ethylacetate system were compared with the calculated values by using the solution thermodynamics and the MRSM model, respectively. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with literature data within a few percent. By means of this methodology, it is possible to evaluate reliability of experimental data of the lower explosive limits of the flammable mixtures. Also, from given results, it is possible to predict explosive limits of the other flammable liquid mixtures used in the chemical process by the use of the proposed equations.

This study develops a new device system for measuring a slope of object with non-adhesive, non-contact and non-face-to-face, namely Inclinometer Slope Laser Measuring (ISLM), that is applicable in the field. This system includes cradle, laser, camera, and computer and the filming and is performed after laser projection at programmed intervals. After measuring the amount of displacement converted to numerical values, these values can then be transferred to the office using the selected data transmission method. The obtained results from the test carried out to verify the reliability of the ISLM system indicated that the ISLM system can measure with accurately level of 0.1mm/Pixel at 1m distance and when increasing the camera resolution, the precision might increase proportionally. Therefore, the proposed measure system may widely apply on-site for various constructions, especially, in the case of object with very high surface temperature where exhibits difficulty to directly measure the adjacent structures. However, due to the sensitive reaction to the illuminance, this method can be applied with caution at times of large changes in illuminance, such as at dawn and at dusk.

Since the 1970s, aircraft crash accidents have been considered as one of the severest external events that should be evaluated for license application of nuclear reactors. After the 9.11 terrorist attacks, many countries have performed safety assessment against intentional or targeted aircraft crashes into nuclear related facilities. In some countries, assessment against targeted aircraft crash was enforced by regulation and considered an important task for license approval. Safety assessment against aircraft crash is a technically difficult task and many countries manage R&D programs to improve its reliability. In this paper, regulations of many countries regarding safety assessment against aircraft crash are summarized, separating regulations for accident aircraft crash and those for targeted aircraft crash. Research performed in various countries on safety assessment of nuclear facility against aircraft crash are summarized, with a focus on spent nuclear fuel dry storage facilities.

Various radioactive materials exist around us. In recent years, as interest in health has increased along with the improvement of the quality of life, examinations using radiation are also increasing. This research defined aforementioned radiation as a living radiation and developed a measurement to measure general knowledge people have on it. Eighteen reliable items were developed; current status on general knowledge regarding the safety of living radiation was analyzed using the items. As a result, a group with radiation-related education got statistically higher score than a group without such education. Correlation analysis and regression analysis showed that higher attention on usual safety leads into the greater knowledge on safety of living radiation. Therefore, this research shed lights on the necessity of radiation safety-related education in current educational course in schools.
