Field model tests were performed to develop the grid-net landfill leachate leakage detection system using electrical resistance. Electric circuit tests were also carried out to investigate the expected electrical effects of grid-net electric circuit. The resistance of leaking point showed lower value than that of non leaking point. Grid-net leakage detection system was thought to be effective to locate the leachate leaking point. The measured electrical resistance along the wire including the leaking point was slightly reduced following the reduction of electrical resistance at the leaking point, which was explained by electric circuit test results.

The aerodynamic drag of ultra high-speed train in evacuated tube have been calculated using computational fluid dynamics and the variation of aerodynamic drag for the change of major system parameter of tube-vehicle system such as the train speed, air density, and the tunnel diameter. The aerodynamic drag in the tube increases with increasing train speed, however, the ratio of drag increase in tube is larger than that on the open field, the V square rule. The aerodynamic drag decreases with increasing tunnel diameter and increasing air density, and the drag increasing for air density is almost linear just like that on open field. For some combination of the parameters, the trend of aerodynamic drag of train showed irregularity.

In general, flat plate systems have been used as a gravity load resisting system (GLRS) in building. Thus, this system should be constructed with lateral force resisting system (LFRS) such as shear walls and brace frames. GLRS should retain the ability to undergo the lateral drift associated with the LFRS without loss of gravity load carrying capacity. And flat plate system can be designed LFRS as ordinary moment frame with the special details. Thus, flat plate system designed as GLRS or LFRS should be considered internal forces (e.g., unbalanced moments) and lateral deformation generated in vicinity of slab joints render the system more susceptible to punching shear. ACI 318 (2005) allows the direct design method, equivalent frame method under gravity loads and allows the finite-element models, effective beam width models, and equivalent frame models under lateral loads. These analysis methods can produce widely different result, and each has advantage and disadvantages. Thus, it is sometimes difficult for a designer to select an appropriate analysis method and interpret the results for design purposes. This study is to help designer selecting analysis method for flat plate system and to verify practicality of the modified equivalent frame method under lateral loads. This study compared internal force and drift obtained from frame methods with those obtained from finite element method under gravity and lateral loads. For this purposes, 7 story building is considered. Also, the accuracy of these models is verified by comparing analysis results using frame methods with published experimental results of NRC slab.

A kernel function of apparent earth resistivity can be estimated using the apparent earth resistivity measured with Wenner's 4 point method. It becomes to solve a nonlinear system to estimate the kernel function of apparent earth resistivity. However it is not simple to get solution of nonlinear system with many unknown variables. This paper suggests the method of estimating kernel function by linearizing this nonlinear system. Finally, various examples of earth structure have been simulated to evaluate the proposed method in this paper.

This paper represents the design of the ground resistance measuring system insensitive to the noise in the earth. Generally, conventional ground resistance measuring instruments may fail to give a precise values for ground resistance under the situations where there is a high ground potential produced by unbalanced power system currents, haromonic currents and noise etc. To make up the defect of conventional ground resistance measuring instruments, in this paper the ground resistance measuring system using high-performance L-C resonant filter and digital signal processor is designed and the insentivity of the designed ground resistance measuring system for noise in the earth is verified by field test on power service and off power service.

The installation of grounding systems is important for the safe operation of power systems, and the soil resistivity is an important design consideration for such systems. It varies markedly with the soil type, moisture content and temperature. The Jeju geological structure is formed in a multi-layered structure characteristic of volcanic areas and, and the geological ground resistance values can appear even constructed the same areas ground system different from the soil structure. In this study, a mock-up system using representative soil from Jeju was constructed to analyze the variation of the grounding resistance. The mock-up system was configured using the Gauss-Newton algorithm inversion method to analyze the model numerically using the Wenner method through the soil resistivity measurements used to create the ground model. Also, we analyzed the change in the general ground resistance characteristics of the copper rod, copper pipe, and carbon rod that are used for grounding. The variation of the grounding resistance with the hydration status was found to be $2.9[{\Omega}]$, $16.5[{\Omega}]$ and $20.1[{\Omega}]$ for the copper rod, copper pipes, and carbon rod, respectively, and the influence of the ground moisture resistance of the carbon rod was found to be the lowest with a value of $141[{\Omega}]$.

The subject of this paper is research into the application of electrical resistivity monitoring to detecting the water leakage of water utilization facilities. For this purpose, we installed a comprehensive monitoring system consisting of resistivity measurement, inclinometer, piezometer, and water gauge at an embankment. Using this monitoring system, we monitored the various kinds of measurement data and compared the resistivity structures and that of hydrological and engineering data in order to investigate the water leakage and stability of the embankment. The variant images of electrical resistivity at the embankment were provided from the monitoring data and we could accurately locate the portion of which resistivities have sharply changed. Furthermore, we could estimate the stability of the embankment more effectively and quantitatively by jointly interpreting the monitoring data of resistivity, water level, pore water pressure, and subsurface displacement. The monitoring experiments in this study led us to the conclusion that for the efficient maintenance of the water utilization facilities, monitoring the resistivity data and hydrological data would be much more preferable to performing the just one-time measurements.

In this study, we propose a method to improve the precision of contact resistance measurement circuits using constant current method and voltage drop method, and implement a dashboard that monitors the measured data of contact resistance measurement systems through MQTT broker server. The contact resistance measurement system measures the resistance value and transmits the measured value to the MQTT broker server using wireless communications. This developed dashboard uses Node-RED and Node-RED-Dashboard to receive the resistance values of up to four contact resistance measurement systems and show them to user's monitor screen. Users can manage multiple measurement data using a single dashboard and easily interface with other devices through the MQTT broker server. Through the experimental results from real data measurements, the relative standard deviation about precision is improved to average 40.37% and maximum 64.73% respectively.

IEC 60364에서 규정하는 접지방식 중 IT접지시스템은 접지극에서의 전식문제가 없으므로 DC배전계통에 가장 적합한 것으로 전망되고 있다. 그러나 IT접지시스템의 장점을 확보하기 위해서는 운전 중인 전력선의 절연상태를 지속적으로 감시할 필요가 있으며, IEC61557은 IT접지환경에서 전력선의 절연상태를 감시하는 활선절연저항감시장치(Insulation Monitoring Device; IMD)를 설치할 것을 규정하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 활선상태인 전력선의 절연 저항을 모니터링 함으로써 IT 접지시스템의 안정성을 증진시킬 수 있는 활선절연저항감시장치를 개발하고 성능을 검증한다.
