In this study, we propose an innovative lateral force distribution building system between tall buildings by utilizing the difference of moment of inertia, resulting the reduction of lateral displacement and the lateral forces in terms of an alternative for the dense human and increased cost of lands in highly integrated city area. A successive collapse prevention means by providing additional bearing plate between connections is proposed. In addition to that, a more economical vibration reduction is expected due to the suggested tuned mass damper on the surface of spacial structure. In the considered verification examples, reduced drifts at the top location of the building systems are validated against static wind pressure loads and static earthquake loads. The suggested hybrid building system will improve the safety and reliability of the new or existing building system in terms of more than 30% reduced drift and vibration through the development of convergence of tall buildings and spatial structures.

The cost for maintenance of bridge structures such as repair or reinforcement is increasing. In addition, the efforts for inspection of bridge structures is becoming more important since the proper repair or reinforcement should be performed to save the maintenance cost and ensure the safety for public infrastructure. Therefore, it is studied on this paper to estimate the repair or reinforcement cycles using probabilistic approach for the steel-box girders of bridge superstructure. In addition, a computer simulation program is uniquely developed based on probabilistic approach to calculate the cycles derived from the function of age of bridge and performance rating curve which were previously studied. In order to ensure the reliability of results and appropriateness of the model, statistical analyses were performed. Also, the results were compared and proved to be similar with ones from previous statistical data related to the repair or reinforcement cycles. The results from this study is expected to be useful for the determination of proper time to repair or reinforce the bridge structure and raise the safetyness of bridge structure in advance.

There are many risks in constructing tunnel-structure. To prevent these risks from occurring and secure safety, the precise and rapid survey of inside displacement of the tunnel is required. But nowadays the measurement of the crown settlement, convergency, and surface settlement depends on general kinds of method which use total station or level. In the way to provide data about maintaining structure according to recent improvement and progress of measuring technology, 3D laser scanning is used. It solves the problem of reliability in measuring displacement of existing structure, provides material that enables to estimate shape change of structure visually, and makes it possible to deliberate speedy countermeasure. By this three dimensioning it is possible to make efficient use of structure maintenance and field measurement.

The vertical static stiffness of rail pads or baseplate pads, which are important components in rail fastening systems for track safety, is a key factor to determine the total track stiffness and a guideline of quality control in the manufacturing process. The vertical static stiffness can be checked by laboratory testing: test methods are EN 13146-9 and KRS TR 0014, which are widely used in the railway field. In this paper, to correct some problems, namely the preloading step, the unloading level, and the holding time in the loading program in the vertical static stiffness test of EN 13146-9 and KRS TR 0014, domestic and foreign test standards of pads were analyzed and then certain schemes for a vertical static stiffness test were proposed. To assess the reliability of the proposed schemes, the vertical static stiffness tests were performed with 4 pads and the validity of the test results was estimated.

At the current stage of a semi-autonomous vehicle, there are situations in which the vehicle has to request take-over control to the driver quickly. However, current self-driving cars use only simple messages and warning sounds to notify drivers when handing over control, so they do not adequately convey considerations of individual characteristics or explanations of various emergent situations. This study investigated how visual and auditory information and the efficacy of drivers in self-driving cars can improve efficient take-over requests between the car and the driver. We found that there were significant differences in driver's cognitive load, reliability, safety, usability, and usefulness according to the combination of three visual and auditory information provided in the experiment of the take-over request situation. The results of this study are expected to help design self-driving vehicles that can communicate more safely and efficiently with drivers in urgent control transition situations.

In information security, AI technology is used to detect unknown malware. Although AI technology guarantees high accuracy, it inevitably entails false positives, so we are considering introducing XAI to interpret the results predicted by AI. However, XAI evaluation studies that evaluate or verify the interpretation only provide simple interpretation results are lacking. XAI evaluation is essential to ensure safety which technique is more accurate. In this paper, we interpret AI results as features that have significantly contributed to AI prediction in the field of malware, and present an evaluation method for the interpretation of AI results. Interpretation of results is performed using two XAI techniques on a tree-based AI model with an accuracy of about 94%, and interpretation of AI results is evaluated by analyzing descriptive accuracy and sparsity. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the AI result interpretation was properly calculated. In the future, it is expected that the adoption and utilization of XAI will gradually increase due to XAI evaluation, and the reliability and transparency of AI will be greatly improved.

In this paper, a new method for the bridge maintenance is proposed to overcome the limit of the existing methods and to implement the preventive bridge maintenance system. The proposed method can establish the lifetime optimum maintenance strategy of the deteriorating bridges considering the life-cycle performance as well as the life-cycle cost. The lifetime performance of the deteriorating bridges is evaluated by the safety index based on the structural reliability and the condition index detailing the condition state. The life-cycle cost is estimated by considering not only the direct maintenance cost but also the user and failure cost. The genetic algorithm is applied to generate a set of maintenance scenarios which is the multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem related to the life-cycle cost and performance. The study examined the proposed method by establishing a maintenance strategy for the existing bridge and its advantages. The result shows that the proposed method can be effectively applied to deciding the bridge maintenance strategy.
