본 연구에서는 상수관로의 잔존수명을 통계적 기법 중 하나인 비례위험모형(PHM)에 적용하여 평가하였다. 비례위험모형을 구축하기 위한 개별관로의 생존시간은 관로의 파손율이 한계파손율에 도달하는 시간으로 정의하였다. 즉, Park and Loganathan(2002)에서 제시한 GPBM을 적용하여 시간에 따른 개별관로의 파손율을 추정하고 추정된 파손율과 한계파손율의 상등관계를 통해 생존시간을 산정하였다. 또한, 본 연구대상관로에 대한 GPBM을 구축함에 있어, 매설시점에서 누적파손횟수를 0으로 한 파손기록을 입력자료에 추가하는 방법과 가중계수(WF)의 범위를 수정함으로써 기존의 GPBM을 보완하였다. 이로써 파손사건이 최소 1회 이상 기록된 강관 및 주철관에 대한 비례위험모형을 구축하였다. 이와 같이 수정된 방법론은 관로 파손사건 등의 자료의 축적이 미비한 국내 여건에서 비례위험모형 및 GPBM과 같은 통계적 모형을 구축할 때 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구대상관로의 비례위험모형에 포함된 유의한 공변수는 관종과 관경 그리고 길이이며 관종은 비례성 가정을 위배하여 시간종속형 변수로 모형화되었다. 최종 채택된 PHM모형을 통해 생존함수를 추정하였으며 추정된 생존함수를 이용하여 개별관로의 잔존수명 및 경제적 수명 그리고 각 수명에 대한 95% 신뢰구간을 산정하였다. 또한 개별관로의 경제적 수명에 영향을 미치는 공변수의 위험비율도 분석하였다. 분석결과 강관의 평균 경제적 수명은 약 25.1년이고 주철관은 약 21년으로 산정되었다. 또한 관종에 따른 경제적 수명에 도달할 상대적인 위험률은 전반적으로 주철관이 높으나 20년 이상 매설된 관로에서는 강관의 위험률이 높을 것으로 분석되었다. 관경과 길이는 크기에 비례하여 상대적 위험률도 증가하였다.

This paper presents applications of the log-linear ROCOF(rate-of-occurrence-of-failure) and the Weibull ROCOF to model the failure rate of individual cast iron pipes in a water distribution system and provides a method of estimating the economically optimal replacement time of the pipes using the 'modified time-scale'. The performance of the two ROCOFs is examined using the maximized log-likelihood estimates of the ROCOFs for the two types of failure data: 'failure-time data' and 'failure-number data'. The optimal replacement time equations for the two models are developed by applying the 'modified time-scale' to ensure the numerical convergence of the estimated values of the model parameters. The methodology is applied to the case study water distribution cast iron pipes and it is found that the log-linear ROCOF has better modeling capability than the Weibull ROCOF when the 'failure-time data' is used. Furthermore, the 'failure-time data' is determined to be more appropriate for both ROCOFs compared to the 'failure-number data' in terms of the ROCOF modeling performances for the water mains under study, implying that recording each failure time results in better modeling of the failure rate than recording failure numbers in some time intervals.

This study was carried out to optimize coating process of the rice snack added with dried shrimp powder by using single extruder. A total of 8 independent variables were used for 4 independent variables of edible oil coating and 4 independent variables of seasoning coating. 4 independent variables for edible oil coating were set up as 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% for the content of edible oil; 40, 50, 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ for the tumbler temperature; 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 rpm for the tumbler speed; 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 min for the coating time. 4 independent variables for seasoning coating were set up as 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6% for the content of seasoning; 40, 50, 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ for the tumbler temperature; 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 rpm for the tumbler speed; 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 min for the coating time. The characteristics of the dependent variables as coating yield and Breaking ratio of collet due to the condition changes of the independent variable was studied during process of edible oil coating and seasoning coating, respectively. As a results of this study, 20% of edible oil content, $70^{\circ}C$ of tumbler temperature, 80 rpm of tumbler speed, 4 min of coating time for process of edible oil coating, 3% of seasoning content, $60^{\circ}C$ of tumbler temperature, 70 rpm of tumbler speed, 3 min of coating time for process of seasoning coating were found to be the most preferable over other independent variables for the production of snack. In conclusion, it is necessary to set the independent variable in order to produce the high quality snack added with the rice as the main raw material and dried shrimp, edible oil and seasoning as the sub-materials.

This paper presents a technique to minimize damaged wafers during loading. A thin wafer used in solar cells and semiconductors can be damaged easily. This makes it difficult to separate the wafer due to surface tension between the loaded wafers. A technique for minimizing damaged wafers is to supply compressed air to the wafer and simultaneously apply a small horizontal movement mechanism. The main experimental factors used in this study were the supply speed of wafers, the nozzle pressure of the compressed air, and the suction time of a vacuum head. A higher supply speed of the wafer under the same nozzle pressure and lower nozzle pressure under the same supply speed resulted in a higher failure rate. Furthermore, the damage rate, according to the wafer supply speed, was unaffected by the suction time to grip a wafer. The optimal experiment conditions within the experimental range of this study are the wafer supply speed of 600 ea/hr, nozzle air pressure of 0.55 MPa, and suction time of 0.9 sec at the vacuum head. In addition, the technology improved by the repeatability performance tests can minimize the damaged wafer rate.

An experiment on the culture of laver, Porphyra tenera, was carried out from September 26, 1965 to February 12, 1966 at a laver farm on the coast of Gae-do, Hwacheong-myeon, Yeocheon-gun, Jeonranam-do, using 'Sae-ol-bal' (triple-knotted blind) laver bed, resulting in the following data: 1. 'Sae-ol-bal' laver, bed was less destroyed compared to ordinary (dual knotted blind) laver bed, the destruction rate being $9.8\%$ in 'Sae-ol-bal' laver bed, while $35.3\%$ in ordinary laver bed (Table 5). 2. The quantity of laver yield is the greatest on the edge-part, the next on the basal part, and the smallest on the middle part of the 'Sae-ol-bal' laver bed (Table 6, Figs. $7\~8$). 3. The ordinary laver bed may yield better harvest on the calm farm but 'Sae-ol-bal' laver bed yields better harvest at a farm where the destruction of bed is remarkable by wind and wave action.

The main distresses that influence pavement performance are rutting, fatigue cracking, and longitudinal roughness. Thus, it is important to analyze the factors that affect these three distresses, and to develop prediction models. In this paper, three distress prediction models were developed using DataPave program which stores data from a wide variety of pavement sections In the United States. Also, sensitivity studies were conducted to evaluate how the input variables impact on the distresses. The result of sensitivity study for the prediction model of rutting showed that asphalt content, air void, and optimum moisture content of subgrade were the major factors that affect rutting. The output of sensitivity study for the prediction model of fatigue cracking revealed that asphalt consistency, asphalt content, and air void were the most influential variables. The prediction model of longitudinal roughness indicated asphalt consistency, #200 passing percent of subgrade aggregate, and asphalt content were the factors that affect longitudinal roughness.

In this paper a heuristic method for identifying individual pipes in water pipe networks to determine specific sections of the pipes that need to be replaced due to deterioration. An appropriate minimum pipe length is determined by selecting the pipe length that has the greatest variance of the average cumulative break number slopes among the various pipe lengths used. As a result, the minimum pipe length for the case study water network is determined as 4 m and a total of 39 individual pipe IDs are obtained. The economically optimal replacement times of the individual pipe IDs are estimated by using the threshold break rate of an individual pipe ID and the pipe break trends models for which the General Pipe Break Prediction Model(Park and Loganathan, 2002) that can incorporate the linear, exponential, and in-between of the linear and exponetial failure trends and the ROCOFs based on the modified time scale(Park et al., 2007) are used. The maximum log-likelihoods of the log-linear ROCOF and Weibull ROCOF estimated for the break data of a pipe are compared and the ROCOF that has a greater likelihood is selected for the pipe of interest. The effects of the social costs of a pipe break on the optimal replacement time are also discussed.

It is very important to investigate the behaviors of the material parameters governing PCI fuel failure during power ramp because PCI fuel failure is considered to be related to the operations limits of power reactors. In this study, the behavior characteristics of the material parameters such as hoop stress, hoop strain, ridge height, creep strain rate and strain energy in cladding were studied as a function of the operating parameters such as power shock and ramp rate. The FEMAXI-IV fuel rod performance analysis code was used for this study.

A fracture or breakage of the concrete armor units in the primary cover layer of breakwaters is studied by using the reliability analysis which may be defined as the structural stability. The reliability function can be derived as a function of the angle of rotation that represents the rocking of armor units quantitatively. The relative influences of all of random variables related to the material and geometric properties on the fracture of armor units is analyzed in detail. In addition, the probability of failure for the fracture of individual armor unit can be evaluated as a function of the incident wave height. Finally, Bernoulli random process and the allowable fracture ratio may be introduced together in this paper, by which the probability of failure of a breakwater due to the fracture of armer units can be obtained straightforwardly. It is found that the probability of failure of a breakwater due to the fracture of armor units may be varied with the several allowable fracture ratios. Therefore, it should be necessary to consider the structural stability as well as the hydraulic stability for the design of breakwaters with multi-leg slender concrete armor units of large size under wave action in deep water.

상수관망시스템은 정수장으로부터 각 수요처에 음용수를 공급하기 위한 사회기반시설물이며, 광범위한 지역에 걸쳐 주로 지하에 시설물이 매설되어 있다. 상수관망시스템을 설계하고 운영함에 있어 노후화로 인한 유수율 저하, 갑작스런 수요량의 증가, 관로 파손 등 비정상상황에의 용수공급을 항상 대비하여야 하며, 이를 통한 지속적인 관리와 개량이 필요하다. 상수관망시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 비정상상황들 중 상수관망시스템 내 관로가 파손될 경우, 파손 관로의 보수 혹은 교체를 위해서는 해당 관로의 용수흐름을 일시적으로 차단할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 파손관로와 인접한 밸브를 차폐하게 되며, 이로 인해 용수공급이 중단되는 단수구역이 발생하게 된다. 단수구역은 파손 관로를 차폐함으로써 파손 관로와 함께 용수공급이 차단되는 직접고립지역과 직접고립지역으로 인해 의도치 않게 수원으로부터 물 공급이 차단되는 간접고립지역으로 구분할 수 있다. 따라서, 관 파손에 의한 단수용량을 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 시스템 내 설치된 밸브의 개수와 위치에 따른 직, 간접고립지역(단수구역)을 정확하게 산정할 필요가 있다. Jun and Loganathan(2007)은 단수구역을 직접고립지역과 간접고립지역으로 구분하여 정의하고 각각을 탐색하는 알고리즘을 제시한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 제시한 간접고립지역 탐색 방법의 문제점을 파악하고, 이를 개선한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안 및 검증하였다. 또한, 개선된 알고리즘을 이용하여 상수관망시스템 내 최적 밸브위치를 결정하기 위해 단수용량과 밸브설치비용을 동시에 최소화하는 다목적 최적화 모형을 개발하였으며, 예시 관망을 이용하여 모의를 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다.
