This study proposed more reasonable prediction models on compressive strength and carbonation of concrete structure and developed a more effective tunnel safety diagnosis and maintenance method through field application of the proposed prediction models. For this study, the Seoul Metro's Line 1 through Line 4 were selected as target structures because they were built more than 30 years ago and have accumulated numerous diagnosis and maintenance data for about 15 years. As a result of the analysis of compressive strength and carbonation, we were able to draw prediction models with accuracy of more than 80% and confirmed the prediction model's reliability by comparing it with the existing models. We've also confirmed field suitability of the prediction models by applying field, the average error of an estimate on compressive strength and carbonation depth was about 20%, which showed an accuracy of more than 80%. We developed a more effective maintenance method using durability prediction Map before field inspection. With the durability prediction Map, diagnostic engineers and structure managers can easily detect the vulnerable points, which might have failed to reach the standard of designed strength or have a high probability of corrosion due to carbonation, therefore, it is expected to make it possible for them to diagnose and maintain tunnels more effectively and efficiently.

Each equipment has a durable life. The state of the equipment may change or fail until it is introduced, operated and disposed of. It is difficult for each organization to have a significant amount of these equipment and to understand each issue. Therefore, systematic life cycle management of equipment is more necessary than just for inventory purposes. In this paper, we design and implement an integrated management system for information assets. If it is an environment that can use the Internet based on the web, it can easily and easily access computerized information resource data through PCs, tablets, and smartphones. In addition, an integrated management system was established to limit the functions of higher and lower institutions through centralized management and user-level empowerment methods and to understand the overall status of resources.

The aim of this study is to develop eco-friendly, fundamental technology for vegetative restoration of barren lands using green rehabilitation material, for the stabilization of abandoned mine debris slopes and depository slopes composed of rock fragments. It is expected that such methods would help to improve the negative view of artificial slopes that remain following mining activity, while also contributing to slope stabilization and prevention of the loss of rock fragments and the dispersion of tailings. We tested the tensile strength and tear strength of various materials, including commonly used natural coir material, natural fibers, and synthetic textile materials with enhanced durability. In conclusion, there is the possibility that natural coir can be used as an eco-friendly material in vegetation restoration, while its durability in natural conditions can be improved by controlling the degree of knot convolution and by antibacterial treatment against biodegradation.

Recently drum washing machines are required to improve not only functions, but also endurance security. The spider is one of the major parts in a drum washing machine as a power transmission device. It is needed estimating for fatigue life because it rotates at high velocity when the drum washing machine works. In this study, we tried to estimate fatigue life of the Spider with CAE and verified the accuracy by comparing the CAE results with the experimental results. The estimation method of fatigue life for the spider with CAE will be applied to raise the efficiency of time and money in the design process of a new drum washing machine.

A catalytic conversion of carbon monoxide has been studied in a coal combustion system. Three different catalysts were prepared by impregnating 0.2% platinum on three different types of supports, ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ pellets, ceramic foam and honeycomb. These catalysts have shown an excellent initial activities in the coal combustion system, but they were rapidly deactivated in repeated uses. Among these catalysts ceramic foam has shown to be better than others both in activities and durabilities. The main cause of deactivation seems to be ascribed to poisoning by zinc metal and sulfur compounds and to decrease in platinum surface area by sintering.

RC Slab bridges in Korea account for more than 70% of the total bridges for more than 20 years of service. As the number of aging structures increases, the importance of safety diagnosis and maintenance of structures increases. For highway bridges, cracks are a main cause of deck deterioration, which is very closely related to the decrease in bridge durability and service life. In addition, the damage rate of expansion joints and bearings accounts for approximately 73% higher than that of major members. Therefore, this study defined damage scenarios combined with devices damages and deck deterioration. The stress distribution and maximum stress on the deck were then evaluated using design vehicle load and daily temperature gradient for single and combined damage scenarios. Furthermore, this study performed damage-spread analysis and predicted condition ratings according to a deck deterioration model generated from the inspection and diagnosis history data of cracks. The heterogeneous damages combined with the member damages of expansion joints and bearings increased the rate of crack area and damage spread, which accelerated the time to reach the condition rating of C. Therefore, damage to bridge members requires proper and prompt repair and replacement, and otherwise it can cause the damage to bridge deck and the spread of the damage.

The chloride diffusion coefficient is a critical indicator for assessing the durability of concrete marine substructures. This study develops a prediction model for the chloride diffusion coefficient using data from concrete bridges located in marine exposure zones (atmospheric, splash, tidal), an aspect that has not been considered in previous studies. Chloride profile data obtained from these bridge substructures were utilized. After data preprocessing, machine learning models, including Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), were optimized through hyperparameter tuning. The performance of these models was developed and compared under three different variable sets. The first model uses six variables: water-to-binder (W/B) ratio, cement type, coarse aggregate volume ratio, service life, strength, and exposure environment. The second model excludes the exposure environment, using only the remaining five variables. The third model relies on just three variables: service life, strength, and exposure environment factors that can be obtained from precision safety diagnostics. The results indicate that including the exposure environment significantly enhances model performance for predicting the chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete bridges in marine environments. Additionally, the three variable model demonstrates that effective predictions can be made using only data from precision safety diagnostics.

Recently, the researches on the durability design of concrete structures have been studied. As the examples, models to evaluate the service life prediction of the structure have been developed. The purpose of this article is to develop the model for predicting remaining service life. The final aim is to provide the user time for repairing the concrete structures. In addition, it makes possible to maintain the concrete structure economically. 70 reservoirs out of the inland concrete structures were selected and concrete structures of their components were surveyed. Two methods were used for measuring carbonation; TG/DTA method and Phenolphtalein indicator and, the value of pH was measured by the pH meter, After deriving correlations of calcium carbonate and used year, duration from completion year to 2002, pH value, and concrete cover depth the model was developed for predicting remaining service life by measuring data as small as possible. The conventional models had been developed on the basis of experiment data obtained from the restricted lab environment like as carbon gas exposure. On the other hand this model was developed on the basis of measuring data obtained from the real field that the complex deterioration actions are occurred such as freezing and thawing, carbonation, steel corrosion, and so on. The reliability of the developed model will be evaluated high in this point and this model can help to maintain concrete structures economically by providing the manager time to repair the deteriorated concrete structures in site of facility management.
