Considerable evaluation is needed to design a new longitudinal tunnel in advance because it damaged drivers' driving safety and heightened the possibility of traffic accidents with its physical characteristics. Specifically, considering traffic psychological and ergonomic factors was very important to prevent the difficulty of maintaining safe speed, the increase of the drowsy driving, the fatality of traffic accidents, and subjective feelings such as anxiety while driving a car through the tunnel, from design to construction. This study dealt with driving safety evaluation of an original road alignment design for the longitudinal tunnel (length: above 10km) with a driving simulator, and helped us to improve an original road alignment design and make an alternative road alignment design with presenting risky districts. The results of experiment showed that inflection points were revealed more risky districts, because they impaired driving safety and elevated driver workload while driving a car through around the inflection points of two-way route. Finally, the limitations and implications of this study were discussed.

This study was performed to estimate the dynamic behavior for Bi Prestressed Concrete Girder(Bicon girder) which could introduce effectively prestressed forces into concrete girders. Dynamic behavior of PSC girder must be verified because it becomes not only slim but also long and a railway bridge which loaded regularly has risk of resonance especially. Forced vibration test using a vibration machine was executed for 20m railway bridge girder specimen to acquire dynamic characteristics(natural frequency, damping ratio) and test results showed the natural frequency of 6.632Hz and the damping ratio of 1.43%

The natural frequencies of a flexible spinning disk misaligned with the axis of rotation are studied in an analytic manner. The effects of misalignment on the natural frequency need to be investigated, because the misalignment between the axis of symmetry and the axis of rotation cannot be avoided in the removable disks such as CD-R, CD-RW or DVD disks. Assuming that the in-plane displacements are in steady state and the out-of-plane displacement is in dynamic state, the equations of motion are derived for the misaligned spinning disk. After the exact solutions are obtained for the steady-state in-plane displacements, they are plugged into the equation for the dynamic-state out-of-plane motion. The resultant equation is a linear equation for the out-of-plane displacement, which is discretized by the Galerkin method. Based on the discretized equations, the effects of the misalignment are analyzed on the vibration characteristics of the spinning disk, i.e., the natural frequencies and the critical speed

현대 산업사회에서 발전소는 중요한 시설물이다. 특히 원자력발전소는 지진 과 같은 천재지변시 매우 위험하기 때문에 내진설계가 필수적으로 요구되어 진다. 최근 국내 원자력발전소의 증가와 1986년 이후 만들어진 내진관련 법 규에 따라 내진설계가 보편화 되어가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소에서 쓰 이는 입축펌프를 해석대상기종으로하여 구조해석과 내진해석을 수행하엿다. 입축펌프는 큰 질량을 가진 모터가 펌프의 윗부분에 위치하고 있어 진동문 제가 야기되는 기종이다. 펌프의 고유진동수는 기초부의 강성과 수조의 내수 위에 따라 변하며, 펌프의 축계의 진동수에 비하여 구조계의 진동수가 운전 회전수에 가깝기 때문에 구조계의 진동이 문제시된다. 해석에 있어서 펌프는 단면이 변하는 Euler Beam으로 보고 유한요소법을 사용하여 모델링하였고, 물의 저항에 의한 부가질량을 고려하였다. 내진해석은 응답스펙트럼법으로 수행하였으며 GRS는 Housner가 0.2g에 대하여 제작한 것을 OBE 조건 (0.12g)으로 scaling하여 사용하였다. 각 모드에 대한 합성방법은 SRSS 법을 적용하였다. 또한 응답스펙트럼법과 시간이력해석의 결과를 비교하였으며, 시간이력해석에서, 수치해석방법으로는 Newmark법을 적용하였다. 지진자료 는, 1940년, California에서 발생한 Elcentro 지진 자료를 이용하였다. 연구수 행과정에서 기초강성계수와 수조내 물의 수위를 주된 인자로 하여 이들의 값에 따라 변하는 고유진동수를 고찰하고, 지진입력시 예상되는 최대응답을 구하여, 비교 분석하였다.

In accordance with the classification system of radioactive waste in Korea, all the disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRSs) fall under the category of EW, VLLW or LILW, and should be managed in compliance with the restrictions for the disposal method. In this study, the management and disposal method are drawn in consideration of half-life of radionuclides contained in the source and A/D value (i.e. the activity A of the source dividing by the D value for the relevant radionuclide, which is used to provide an initial ranking of relative risk for sources) in addition to the domestic classification scheme and disposal method, based on the characteristic analysis and review results of the management practices in IAEA and foreign countries. For all the DSRSs that are being stored (as of March 2015) in the centralized temporary disposal facility for radioisotope wastes, applicability of the derivation result is confirmed through performing the characteristic analysis and case studies for assessing quantity and volume of DSRSs to be managed by each method. However, the methodology derived from this study is not applicable to the following sources; i) DSRSs without information on the radioactivity, ii) DSRSs that are not possible to calculate the specific activity and/or the source-specific A/D value. Accordingly, it is essential to identify the inherent characteristics for each of DSRSs prior to implementation of this management and disposal method.

The variations of the natural frequencies and the peak response acceleration at the top of prestressed concrete reactor building due to random variability and/or model uncertainty of structural parameters are studied. The results may be used as essential input parameters in seismic probabilistic risk assessment or seismic margin assessment of the reactor building. The sensitivity test of each structural parameter is first performed to determine the most influential parameter upon the natural frequency of structure model. Then Monte Carlo simulation technique is applied to evaluate the effect of parameter variation on the natural frequencies and the peak response acceleration. The acceleration time history is obtained by direct integration scheme. As the study results, it is found that the fundamental natural frequency and the peak response acceleration at the top of the building are most strongly affected by Young's modulus among the structural parameters, in which the value of mean plus one standard deviation obtained by probabilistic approach deviates up to about (+)12% from the result of deterministic method. Considering the uncertainty of flexural rigidity, the structural responses vary in range of (-)4%~(+)14%.

One of the advantages of BOT PF(Project Finance) is the government can be protected from risks involved in projects as the private finances, builds, and operates relevant projects. Moreover, the private may avoid outstanding responsibility in case of default thanks to BOT PF's unique financial structure and characteristics. However, despite increasing attention on risk mitigation effect of financial structure and characteristic of BOT PF to default risk with emerging controversies of capital crunch, introduction of IFRS, and contingent liabilities, valuation of default risk mitigation effect caused by financial structure and characteristics of BOT PF still seems sophisticated due to uncertain cash flows, complexly layered contracts, and their interaction. So, this paper is to show the theoretical frame to assess the default risk mitigation effect of financial structure and characteristic of BOT PF with option pricing and related financial economic theories and to provide some meaningful implications. Finally, this research shows that the financial structure and characteristics of BOT PF help mitigate the default risk and default risk mitigation effect increases as change of relevant variables on financial feasibility gets the BOT project less financially feasible.
