Technology convergence is a global megatrends. In addition, developed contries should study for the new technology convergence production. Index of technology convergence has side effects that increase the value of production in the technology convergence and add to difference list about plan, however, this is difficult to verify. This paper presents a method to maintain consistency using list and confirm this when evaluation.

The load combinations in current KCI Design Code are determined with reference to those in ACI 318-05, which adopts the LRFD (load and resistance factor design) format. The load and resistance factors in LRFD format should be determined to meet the required levels of reliability index or probability of failure for various predetermined failure modes, which are also based on the statistical data reflecting locality and contemporary situation. However, the current KCI Design Code has been written utilizing foreign data, because of insufficiency in accrued data in Korea. This study considered the current safety levels of KCI Code based on published domestic data to evaluate appropriateness of the current KCI regulations. Based on the calibrated reliability index of the existing Code, the new resistance factors are suggested. The results presented in this paper can be considered as a basic research for establishment of unique design format for future Korean Codes.

Member force, strain and stress distribution of a section are obtained for prestressed steel and concrete(PSSC) composite bridge subjected to dead and live load in order to interpret the effect of prestressing and deformation of tendon. The stress and strain distribution and moment capacity are obtained for both noncomposite and composite section and for allowable stress limit state, yield limit state and strength limit state. Reliability analysis is conducted after assuming limit states for deflection, stress and flexural strength. Comparing that the reliability index for stress is near 0 for example section which is designed to satisfy the allowable stress exactly, the reliability indexes for deflection and flexural strength are high. Reliability of PSSC girder which is designed based on allowable stress of bridge design code is high for deflection and flexural strength.

The evaluation of reliability is very important in the development process of software. There may be lack of trustfulness on the results that come from the analysis and evaluation of reliability of softwares which do not divide the test phases. At this point, this article studies how to evaluate the reliability dividing the test phases in order to settle the these problems. In doing so, I apply the fault data to be found in Unit Test, Integration Test, Validation Test and System Test to SRGM(Software Reliability Growth Model), Exponential SRGM, Delayed S-shaped SRGM and Inflection S-shaped SRGM. The result is that Inflection S-shaped is best suitable with Unit Test Delayed S-shaped is best suitable with Integration and Validation Test, and Exponential SRGM is best suitable with System test. In this respect, I can show that the results of this study on parameter estimation, difference square summation, number of fault remained is superior to the established methods.

Uncertainties in physical and engineering parameters for the design of shallow foundations arise from various aspects such as inherent variability and measurement error. This paper aims at investigating and reducing uncertainty from deterministic method by using the reliability-based design of shallow foundations accounting for the variation of various design parameters. A probability distribution type and statistics of random variables such as unit weight, cohesion, infernal friction angle and Young's modulus in geotechnical engineering are suggested to calculate the ultimate bearing capacities and immediate settlements of foundations. Reliability index and probability of failure are estimated based on the distribution types of random variables. Widths of foundation are calculated at target reliability index and probability of failure. It is found that application and analysis of the best-fit distribution type for each random variables are more effective than adoption of the normal distribution type in optimizing the reliability-based design of shallow foundations.

The estimation of mean lifetimes in presence of interval censoring with replacement procedure are examined when the distributions of lifetimes are exponential. It is assumed that, due to physical restrictions and/or economic constraints, the number of failures is investigated only at several inspection times during the lifetime test. The maximum likelihood estimator is found in an implicit form. The Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the estimates are found in places of variances and by simulations the properties of the estimates are examined.

다양한 컴포넌트들로 구성된 시스템의 수명 데이터는 시스템 컴포넌트들의 신뢰성을 추정하는데 많이 사용된다. 하지만 비용이나 고장진단의 기술적 문제 때문에 시스템 고장의 정확한 원인을 밝혀내기는 어렵다. 시스템이나 컴포넌트의 수명 데이터 중 정확한 고장원인을 알 수 없는 데이터를 마스크 데이터라 한다. 본 연구는 마스크데이터와 베이지안 추정의 연구방향을 살펴보고, 그리고 고장률의 비정보 사전분포를 이용하여, 컴포넌트가 직렬로 구성된 시스템의 수명 데이터가 마스크 데이터를 갖는 지수분포의 시스템 컴포넌트 고장률을 추정한다.

Application areas for Lifetime Performance Index(LPI), a kind of process capability index to be frequently used as a means of measuring process performance are illustrated with examples. Statistical properties for maximum likelihood and unbiased estimators of LPI are evaluated and discussed under Weibull distribution with known shape parameter. Furthermore, guidelines for selecting an estimator of LPI are also presented.

Multi-member lattice-type structures including jackets and tripods are being considered as good alternatives to monopile foundations for relatively deep water of 25-50 m of water depth owing to their technical and economic feasibility. In this study, the reliability analysis of bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines with monopile and/or multi-member lattice-type foundations is carried out and the sensitivities of random variables such as material properties, external wind loadings and scouring depth are compared with respect to different types of foundations. Numerical analysis of the NREL 5 MW wind turbine supported by monopile, tripod and jacket substructures shows that the uncertainties of soil properties affect the reliability index more significantly for the monopile-supported OWTs while the reliability index is not so sensitive to the material properties in the cases of tripod- and jacket-supported OWTs. In conclusion, the reliability analysis can be preliminarily carried out without considering soil-pile-interaction in the cases of tripod- and jacket-supported OWTs while it is very important to use the well-measured soil properties for reliable design of monopile-supported OWTs.

본 논문의 주목적은 불연속 또는 연속계 구조물의 시스템 신뢰성해석(system reliability analysis)을 위한 보다 일반적인 방법을 소개하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는, 확대하중증분법(extended incremental load method)이라고 불리우는데, 지금까지의 신뢰성 해석법 중 종래의 하중증분법이 갖는 단점을 보완하고, 여러 형태의 하중이 작용하는 구조물에 대해, 부재의 파괴후 거동(post-ultimate behaviour)을 다른 방법보다 더 실제적으로 고려할 수 있는 장점을 갖도록 개발한 것이다. 본 방법의 또 하나의 장점은 구조설계시 사용하는 강도공식(strength formula) 을 시스템 신뢰성 해석에서 직접 이용할 수 있다는 점이다. 이 방법은 부유식 해양구조물 같은 연속계 구조물의 시스템 신뢰성 해석을 위해 개발되었는데, 이 논문에서는 실제 구조물은 다루지 않고, 방법의 정당성과 아울러 수정된 안전여유식의 적용가능성을 보여주는 것에 중점을 두었다. 본 논문의 부유식 해양구조물들에 적용한 결과는 후일 발표할 예정이다.
