Traffic volume increases according to highway expansion and industrial development which causes repetitive defect and durability degradation on pavement. The research of quality assurance system used abroad has introduced Korea. Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) has developed a Quality Performance Index (QPI) that quantitatively assesses the level of quality of the final product, and practical applications. Assessment factor on concrete pavement consisted of pavement thickness, compressive strength, IRI and spacing factor. Assessment factor on concrete pavement is determined by empirical evaluation factor from abroad. In this study, analysis of evaluation factors of concrete pavement by using pavement life prediction simulation and measured data were evaluated with consideration of feasibility of the assessment factor. Pavement life, performance and durability are affected by pavement thickness, compressive strength, IRI and spacing factor in assessment factor on concrete pavement, QPI.

This paper investigates the effect of the concrete containing mineral admixtures(pozzolanic materials such as fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume and meta kaolin) on the resistance properties to chloride ion invasion. The purposed testing procedure was applied to the concrete replaced mineral admixtures for 3${\~}$4 replacement ratios under water-binder ratios ranged from 0.40 to 0.55. For the electro-migration test, Tang and Nilsson's method was used to estimate the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion. As a results, the water-binder ratios, kinds of mineral admixtures and replacement ratios, water curing periods had a great effect on the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion, and the optimal replacement ratios had a limitation for each mineral admixtures. Also, the use of mineral admixtures by mass(replacement of OPC) enhance the resistance ability against chloride penetration compared with the plain concrete. The compressive strength was shown related to the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion, the compressive strength increases with the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion decreasing. Below the 50 MPa, the variation of diffusion coefficient of concrete replaced mineral admixtures was bigger than that of plain concrete.

In a previous study, the impact factor response spectrum and corresponding method for evaluating the load carrying capacity of bridges was suggested to improve the existing evaluation method. To verify the applicability of the suggested method, which is based on the frequency of bridges, the dynamic characteristic test for an actual single span simply-supported bridge was conducted. Through a field test under ambient traffic conditions, the dynamic response of the bridge was obtained using wireless accelometers and its fundamental frequency was identified. The peak impact factor was determined from the identified frequency and the impact factor response spectrum. The load carrying performance variation of the bridge was estimated considering the performance reduction factor, which was calculated using the current and previous natural frequency and impact factor. From the result, the load carrying capacity of the bridge was decreased, but the capacity was still enough because its value is greater than the design live load. Through the overall procedures and technical details presented in this paper, the suggested evaluation method can be applied to actual bridges with the acceleration data measured under ambient traffic conditions and the impact factor response spectrum.

Response Modification Factor(R-factor) approach is currently implemented to reflect inelastic ductile behavior of the structures and to reduce elastic spectral demands from earthquakes to the design level. However R factors were set empirically and simply based on the professional committee consensus on observed performance of building structures during past earthquakes. Consequently some major shortcomings linked to the current R factor approach have been pointed out. Using reinforced concrete intermediate moment-resisting frames(RC IMRFs), an analytical procedure is presented in this paper to establish R factor rationally. To this end, analytical R values were evaluated based on N2 Method and compared with the values recommended by IBC 2000. Overall, the analytical results correlated well with the code values. However the results also revealed that R factor might strongly depend on the system fundamental period. As evidenced by the interstory drift index(IDI) analysis results of this study, current R-factor based(or, Life Safety based) design tends to fail in fulfilling other implicit and hopeful performance objectives such as immediate Occupancy and Collapse Prevention. Performance based design(PBD) appears to be a promising approach to meet the multi level seismic performance objectives assigned to the building structures of nowadays.

기체분리막의 성능을 평가하기 위한 Manometric method의 몇가지 투과측정장치 중, High-Vacuum technique는 기체 투과계수, 확산계수 및 용해도계수의 정확한 값을 얻는데 가장 유용한 장치이다. 그러나 이 장치는 비용이 비싸고, 조작법이 복잡하며, 투과실험시 계 내의 투과측의 농도를 분석할 수 없고, 측정시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 따라서 보다 간단하고 일반적인 측정장치는 막내 기체 확산계수의 측정에는 정확도가 떨어지지만, Low-Vacuum Technique 측정장치가 더 많이 사용되고 있다. Volumetric method는 조작법이 간단하며, 계 내의 농도분석이 가능하고, 측정시간이 빠르며, 비용이 적게 드는 장점이 있다. 일반적으로 Volumetric 투과특정장치로 투과계수는 얻었지만, 확산계수에 대해서는 극소수의 연구자들만이 언급하고 있다. 이는 실험하는 방법의 어려움과 기체의 막내 농도분포에 대해 수학적으로 적합한 모델의 해를 얻지 못한데 있다. 최근데 Lee 등은 Volumetric method을 이용한 확산계수의 평가에 대해 연구하여 신뢰성 있는 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 본 실험은 Volumetric method를 이용하여 막내 기체 확산계수의 측정을 위해 온도, 압력및 분자직경에 따라 Standing time의 예측에 대해 검토하였다.

A new freeform structure representing "Diagrid, Cantilevered, Tilted." which has been considered not only its distinctive appearance but also the structural advantages becomes one of the trends in tall building design. Especially in the Diagrid system, loads can be distributed through bracing frame so that it can be save the materials since it has more effective in the structure behavior. But the seismic performance index such as response modification factor is not clearly defined yet. Even though the diagrid is supposed to show higher seismic performance, it is underestimated due to the lack of reliable data. In this paper the response modification factor for the diagrid system is experimentally explored.

A need still exists to evaluate the durability performance of cemented gedmaterials in road constructions using various cementing binders due to seasonal changes in fields as well as structural performance. In this paper, durability characteristics of stabilized granular base and subgrade materials, which is widely used in korea, was assessed using a laboratory repeated load resilient-deformation test under various freezing-thawing and wet-drying cyclic conditions. In addition, various resilient modulus models were adopted based on the test results. As a result, the estimated model coefficients agree well with the values from the literatures.

We propose an enhanced wavelet packet image coder algorithm which is based on the coefficients partition. The proposed wavelet packet image coder uses the first-order entropy to reduce the total compression time, and achieves low bit rates and rate-distortion performance by the zero-tree based coding using correlations between coefficients partition. This new algorithm represents new parent-children relationships for reducing image reconstruction error using the correlations between each frequency subbands and then the wavelet packet coefficients are Partitioned by a new order. The computer simulations demonstrate higher PSNR under the same bit rate and improved image compression time and enhanced rate control compare with conventional algorithms. From the simulation results, it is shown that the encoding and decoding process of proposed coder are much simple and accurate than present method against texture images , which include many mid-frequency elements.

For the study of performance evaluation on different shape heat exchangers that have the same energy consumption in a refrigerator, we make performance evaluation coefficient (PEC) which can distinguish performance of different shape heat exchangers. The results were reported in order to compare with for the dry frosting and wet frosting test as various definition of PECs. Results showed that PEC of dry frosting test is higher than that of wet frosting test because attached water droplet increases pressure drop of air-side then this decreases performance of heat exchanger.
