Nondestructive Damage Evaluation (NDE) techniques yield the damage location and its size from the modal characteristics of pre-damaged and post-damaged structures. To predict the system reliability of the aging structure, results from the NDE are integrated into the element/component failure probabilities. The element/component failure probabilities can be calculated from failure functions for each element/component with the aid of techniques from a structural reliability analysis. In this paper, a method to estimate the system reliability of a structure that is based on the reliabilities of elements/components in a given structure is presented. The efficacy of the combination of the nondestructive damage detection and the structural reliability evaluation is demonstrated using pre-damaged and post-damaged modal data obtained from numerical simulations of a rigid frame.

공기를 주 절연매질로 사용하는 전력기기의 소형화 추세속에서 제품의 절연성능을 확보하기 위해 '절연배리어'인 고체절연물이 사용된다. 고체절연물의 연면 절연성능은 운전 환경에서 발생된 수분 및 오염원 등에 영향을 받기 쉽기 때문에, 다양한 오염도 조건에서 고체절연물의 연면 절연파괴특성 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 전력기기에 폭넓게 적용되는 있는 고체절연물에 대하여 평등전계가 모의된 평판 - 평판 전극 실험 조건에서 연면거리 및 오염도를 정량화한 전기전도도에 따른 AC 연면 절연파괴특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, AC 연면 절연파괴전계는 고체절연물 재질에 관계없이 단(短) 갭에서 연면거리에 대한 의존성을 거의 보이지 않았다. 또한, PC 연면 절연파괴전계는 BMC 및 에폭시 대비 높았으며, 이것은 재질에 따른 연면 절연파괴 형태 및 표면의 소수성 차이와 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

With the uncertainty of breaching mechanism, channel roughness, and elevation-discharge relationship at the downstream dam sites, the dam break wave from the hypothetical failure of Soyanggang dam is routed by DAMBRK. Simulation results show that lower region of Seoul will be flooded in 6~8 hours which has the elevation lower than 30~20m, and most part of Chuncheon will also be flooded. The peak discharge becomes approximately 70,000 CMS at Indogyo, and 220,000~340,000 CMS at Chuncheon. Sensitivity analysis shows that the inundation feature of Seoul will hardly be affected by the failure of downstream dams.

현대사회가 급속한 발전을 이룩하면서 화재의 발생은 증가추세에 있다. 화재의 예방과 진압장비의 개발을 위해서는 실내화재현상에 대한 연구와 이해가 필요하다. 대부분의 실내화재 관련 현상에 대하여서는 많은 연구가 이루어졌고, 이러한 연구를 바탕으로 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 같은 화재 현상의 예측기법을 발전 시켜왔으며, 거의 실제에 가깝게 발전하고 있으나, 아직까지도 규명이 확연히 되지 않고 있는 부분은 창유리의 파괴현상이다. 본 연구는 구획화재시 창유리의 파괴현상을 실제에 근접한 시나리오를 설정한 후 실험을 통해 고찰하고자한다. 또한 파괴시간 예측 프로그램인 BREAKl의 분석 결과와 실험치의 비교도 아울러 실시하여 그 적용성을 판단해보자 한다.

지금까지 고분자 재료에서의 일반적인 파괴역학 연구실태를 집약해보았다. 이 분야의 연구결과 들은 금속의 파괴역학 문제와는 다른 새로운 문제점을 지니고 있었다. 우리는 여기서 잘 짜여진 문제의 해를 구했다기 보다는 문제를 정의하는 수준에 있음을 느낄수 있었다. 더욱이 고려되고 있는 문제들조차 서로 독립적으로 연관성을 보이고 있지 못하다. 접근방법이 너무 이론적이어서 실제상황에 적합하지 않거나 실험적인 검증이 요구되고, 경우에 따라서는 경험적이어서 해석 적인 정량화가 필요한 경우가 많다. 의심할바 없이 이것이 고분자재료 파괴역학의 현실이며 앞 으로 좀더 많은 해석적, 실험적 연구가 이루어져 상황이 개선될 것으로 믿는다.

A water distribution system should be constructed reasonably to supply water for the customer with proper quality and pressure as demands at nodes fluctuate with time. Also it should be reliable to minimize undesirable effects on the customer when various accidents happen such as pipe failures. A new method is presented here to reduce damages by pipe failures. For the work, two methods, namely, the method for estimating practical extent of damage by pipe failures and for estimating water distribution reliability, are adopted to analyze a water distribution system and to explore the damage reduction by pipe failures. As the results from the analysis of the model, the damage can be reduced effectively by increasing durability of each pipe in minimum cutsets according to the order of priority. The suggested method was applied to the Cherry-Hill network to verify its applicability.

Severe damage can occur around deposition holes due to complex interaction of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) loading during the long term operation of high level radioactive waste repository. Many candidate sites for repository are located in crystalline rock mass, therefore mechanism of damage follows the form of brittle fracture and failure. This paper briefly introduces major outcomes from 15 years international collaborative project, DECOVALEX, and presents major study results for current ongoing benchmark test study from DECOVALEX-THMC, to evaluate the effect of THM loading to rock mass in excavation damaged zone (EDZ) near deposition holes. Through benchmark test model by simplifying THM loading to boundary loading obtained numerical results are compared, and discrete fracture interaction after up to 1 million years operation is discussed.

Toppling failure of a slope is defined as failure behavior accompanying the rotation of rock block which is different from other failure such as sliding along with discontinuities and so on. It generally occurs in the region that discontinuities were developed with inverse dip direction to a slope and it could play a critical role in judging stability of slope. In this study, the stability evaluation was performed about toppling failure on a jointed road cut-slope. To check the deformation behavior, numerical analysis is widely used. However common analysis programs are based on continuum model. Recently, many methods that discontinuity properties can be considered in continuum analysis are suggested. In this study, numerical analysis based on FEM(Finite Element Method) was performed using interface element applied in heterogeneous boundary to simulate effects of discontinuities.

The purpose of this study is to identify the collapse characteristics by analyzing various factors causing collapse based on field survey and existing data on rock slopes occurring in the construction of roads and industrial complexes in Gyeongsangnam - do area. In the case of the slope where the slope has been directly surveyed, the analysis of the collapse characteristics can be used for the prediction and prevention of slope failure through the continuous collection of the slope data, database construction, management and analysis. The evaluation items used in the collapse characteristics of slope were selected among the items that can be regarded as objective evaluation items among the overlapping factors by comparing the evaluation items frequently used for the evaluation of the existing slope stability among various factors. The type of destruction of the rock slope depends on the type of carcass of the bedrock, such as planar fracture, wedge fracture, onho fracture, and conduction fracture, which are different from each other. And the slope stability analysis should be performed accordingly.

The Hoek-Brown failure criterion for rock masses developed first in 1980 is widely accepted and has been applied in a variety of rock engineering problems including slope analyses. The failure criterion was modified over the years because rock mass strength by the original failure criterion in 1980 was overestimated. The modified failure criterion, named Generalized Hoek-Brown Failure Criterion, was proposed with a new classification called the Geological Strength Index(GSI) in 1994. Generally, Hoek-Brown failure criterion is applied in numerical analyses of rock mass behaviors using equivalent Mohr-Coulomb parameters estimated by linear regression method. But these parameters estimated by this method have some inaccuracies to be applied and to be incorporated into numerical models and limit equilibrium programs. The most important issue is that this method cannot take account of non-linear characteristics of Hoek-Brown criterion, therefore, equivalent Mohr-Coulomb parameters is used as constant values regardless of field stress distribution in rock masses. In this study, the numerical analysis on rock slope stability considering non-linear characteristics of Hoek-Brown failure criterion was carried out. Futhermore, by the latest Hoek-Brown failure criterion in 2002, the revised estimating method of equivalent Mohr-Coulomb parameters was applied and rock mass damage criterion is introduced to account for the strength reduction due to stress relaxation and blast damge in slope stability.
