Dynamic behaviors of line type bearings, spherical bearings and disk bearings which are being used for railway steel bridges are investigated, and that of the bridges is also analyzed. For the purpose, the vertical displacements of the three bearings including fixed and expansion type are measured and analyzed. Also, the deformation of the PTFE plate placed inside of spherical and disk bearings of expansion type is measured and its effect on the dynamic behavior of the bridges is discussed. The up-lift phenomenon at the bearings installed for the steel bridges is estimated. The vertical displacements at mid-span of the bridges are compared according to the bearing types. Finally, the 1st mode natural frequencies are estimated and the relationship to the vertical displacement is discussed.

In domestic cases, the standard support pattern of 2-lanes road tunnels is presented because construction experience and high degree various data was abundant. But, it is not desirable to apply standard for 2-Arch tunnels that the precedent and measuring data is insufficient existing support pattern blasting plan and interpretation of separate way concerning specific terrain and rock quality. In this study, behavior according to load distribution ratio and Unsymmetrical Pressure about standard support pattern which is applied in design and construction of 2-arch tunnels was analysed and the examination of blasting vibration has influence on the center wall is conducted as a consequence reasonableness of support whether or not with presumed support pressure and ground reaction curve method. In result appropriateness of standard support pattern, support quantity is proper but considers specific terrain and rock quality condition when design and construction of further step 2-arch tunnel standard support pattern must be decided by considering terrains, soil properties and construction condition of the objective tunnel.

This paper presents integrated control and safety management system for a LNG storage tank. This system is for collecting and analyzing the temperature, pressure, and vibration signals in which are used to control and guarantee the system safety and leakage control from the inner gas tank. Based on the investigations of LNG tank related failures and accidents, we strongly recommend the modification and new development of current safety related measuring and control systems because the LNG tank is constructed bigger and bigger in recent years for the efficiency and safety increments. Thus, this paper presents newly developed integrated control and safety management system for a large LNG storage tank. This system provides the enhanced measuring and control systems, and new displacement based safety system, which may detect and control the deformation properties of tank structures. In addition, we recommend that the new integrated control and safety management system should be coupled by process integrated innovation system (PIIS) for an increased safety, efficiency, and productivity of LNG tanks.

The reliability on high cycle fatigue damage mechanism for new blades manufactured by reverse-engineering is demonstrated by success-run test. Turbine blades always experience various dynamic loads in turbine operation, as well as being in resonance condition and forced by fluid-induced vibrations mostly during run-up/down, which may accumulate high cycle damage to the blades. The accidents caused by blade failure especially incur not only a lot of troubles to the machinery but also huge financial losses. Therefore it is necessary to verify the reliability of blades in advance for the safe use. The success run test for the reliability demonstration is designed and performed for the new blades using the technique known as resonant high cycle fatigue testing.

Clogging of drainage pipes by scale is an important problem in civil engineering works. Although scale deposits can be removed by acid treatment or water jetting, these treatments are costly and have many disadvantages. In this study, scale samples from tunnel drainage pipes were analyzed using SEM-EDS and XRD. The main ingredient in scale was $CaCO_3$ of the calcite crystal form. Drainage experiments and recirculation type experiments were conducted to control and remove scale deposits, which were determined through visual and weight measuring analysis. As a result, Quantum Stick has the effect of limiting formation of scale.

In order to understand evaluation of the seismic stability of a fill dam, we made chambers of 1:100, 1:70, and 1:50 (the ratio of the miniature), considering the law of similarity based on drawings of three representative cross sections. And we measured an increase in acceleration, excess pore water pressure, and vertical/horizontal displacement after applying Hachinohe wave (long period), Ofunato wave (short period), and artificial wave, complying with the domestic standards, in order to evaluate the stability and interaction between the ground, the structure, and fluids based on the measurements. As a result, we could observe that displacement of the target cross section was relatively small compared to the allowed level of 30 cm, ensuring proper stability for an earthquake. Regarding the acceleration measurements, the increase rate was 20% for Hachinohe wave and Ofunato wave but 30% for the artificial wave. With respect to the excess pore water pressure, it was lower than 1 (which is the permissible ratio for liquefaction) ensuring proper stability as well.

In order to understand evaluation of the seismic stability of a reinforced earth retaining, we made chambers of 1:10 (the ratio of the miniature), considering the law of similarity based on drawings of representative cross sections. And we measured an increase in acceleration, earth pressure, and displacement after applying Hachinohe wave (long period), Ofunato wave (short period), and artificial wave, complying with the domestic standards, in order to evaluate the external stability of the reinforced earth retaining wall during earthquake based on the measurements. As a result, the unreinforced earth retaining wall collapsed at 2 g of seismic acceleration. But the reinforced earth retaining wall was evaluated to ensure proper stability as well, with respect to the earth pressure gauge, the increments of earth pressure tend to be raised significantly in the upper than the lower and showed a similar characteristic of behavior in previous theory.

In a conventional magnetic abrasive polishing process, the polishing abrasives are mixed with ferrous particles and slight cutting oil to form a cluster of abrasives. However, when a tool rotates at a high revolution speed, most of the polishing abrasives are scattered away from it due to the increase in centrifugal force. This phenomenon directly reduces the polishing efficiency. The use of a highly viscous matter such as silicone gel instead of cutting oil for mixing is one method to solve this problem and increase abrasive adhesion. Another method to avoid high abrasive scattering is the application of wet magnetic abrasive polishing (WMAP). In WMAP, abundant mineral oil is preliminarily applied to the workpiece surface. This study experimentally evaluated the effect of WMAP on abrasive adhesion. The relationship between the amount of working abrasives and polishing conditions was characterized. Despite the lower adhesion ratio of polishing abrasives, the surface roughness was found to be significantly improved as the result of WMAP.

The experimental FT-IR spectra and DTA curves of the $PbO-Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glasses have been investigated. The composition ratio dependence of glass transition temperature showed that the structure of this glass system changes at 60 mol% $Bi_2O_3$. We have observed that the FT-IR spectra of the investigated samples with high bismuth content are dominated by bands associated to the structural units of the heaviest cation, $Bi^{3+}$ and the boron atoms in the treated samples are three and four coordinated even for very high $Bi_2O_3$ content. The low intensity of these non-bridging oxygen bands, for high PbO content glasses, can be attributed to the strong network-forming roles of PbO. The glasses absorption bands exhibited a greater change in intensities on crystallization.
