Freight car accidents occur frequently and have a high mortality. In this reason, freight can insurance fee has been raised drastically. But speeding and overloading of trucks are still not decreased. We need to consider a measure about voluntary safe driving of truck drivers. We select UBI(Usage-Based insurance) as a measure for safe driving of truck drivers. UBI is a car insurance system and insurance fee is flexible. If vehicle drivers drive safely, insurance fee is discounted. The other way, if vehicle drivers drive dangerously, insurance fee is increased. In now, very high insurance fee for truck drivers, UBI is a effective way for leading a truck driver to safe driving. The most important thing in UBI is to evaluate truck driver rationally and accurately. In this paper, we select the reasons of truck accidents and develop driving evaluation model from multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis with accident reasons and truck accidents.

Smart card data is widely used in the public transportation field. Despite the inevitability of various errors occur during the data collection and storage; however, smart card data errors have not been extensively studied. This paper investigates inherent errors in boarding and alighting station information in smart card data. A comparison smart card data and bus boarding and alighting survey data for the same time frame shows that boarding station names differ by 6.2% between the two data sets. This indicates that the error rate of smart card data is 6.2% in terms of boarding station information, given that bus boarding and alighting survey data can be considered as ground truth. This paper propose 6-step algorithm for correcting errors in smart card boarding station information, linking them to corresponding information in Bus Information System(BIS) Data. Comparing BIS data and bus boarding and alighting survey data for the same time frame reveals that boarding station names correspond by 98.3% between the two data sets, indicating that BIS data can be used as reliable reference for ground truth. To evaluate its performance, applying the 6-step algorithm proposed in this paper to smart card data set shows that the error rate of boarding station information is reduced from 6.2% to 1.0%, resulting in a 5.2%p improvement in the accuracy of smart card data. It is expected that the proposed algorithm will enhance the process of adjusting bus routes and making decisions related to public transportation infrastructure investments.

점착성 유사는 비점착성 유사에 비해 1차입자의 크기가 작아 1차입자간의 점착력이 중요한 역할을 하는 유사를 말한다. 점착성 유사는 비점착성 유사에 비해 크기가 작아 입자의 전자기적 점착력의 영향을 무시할 수 없으므로 점착력으로 인해 입자들은 서로 응집하는 동시에 입자들 간의 충돌에 의하여 파괴되는 과정을 거친다. 이러한 응집과 파괴가 지속되는 일련의 과정을 응집현상이라 한다. 점착성 유사는 응집과정을 통해 일차입자보다 크기가 크며 수십 개에서 수천 개의 일차입자와 물의 덩어리인 플럭을 형성하게 된다. 흐름 내 존재하는 플럭의 응집현상에 가장 지배적인 영향을 미치는 인자로 난류 거동이 알려진 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 난류 거동에 따른 점착성 플럭의 입도분포 변화를 살펴보고자 하였으며, 점착성 유사 입도분포 모형을 개발하였다. 수치모형의 개발은 확률과정(또는 추계과정)의 개념을 바탕으로 한다. 점착성 유사의 응집현상을 구성하는 응집과정은 다양한 연구를 통해 메커니즘들이 규명된 것과 달리 파괴과정은 난류로 인해 발생하며 무작위한 것으로 여겨진다. 무작위한 플럭의 파괴과정을 확률과정으로 가정하고 매개변수 중 하나를 대수정규분포를 따르는 난수로 고려하였다. 개발된 모형의 검증은 연안지역에서 점착성 플럭의 거동을 측정한 연구결과와의 비교를 통해 수행하였으며, 흐름 유속의 연직분포와 유사 농도의 연직분포, 응집현상 이후 플럭의 평형크기와 입도분포가 모두 합리적으로 계산되는 것이 확인되었다. 더불어 모의 결과에서는 대수정규분포를 따르는 동일한 난수를 적용하였음에도 불구하고 하상으로부터 거리가 가까워짐에 따라 플럭입도분포가 단봉분포(Unimodal Distribution)와 이봉분포(Bimodal Distribution)가 모두 계산되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 모형의 개발과정에서 플럭의 가능 최대 크기를 콜모고로브 길이규모로 제한한 것과 관련이 있다. 난류 흐름 내 존재하는 플럭의 크기가 응집현상을 통해 난류의 콜모고로브 길이규모까지 성장하는 경우, 난류의 전단응력이 급격하게 증가하여 파괴과정이 활발해지고 응집과정이 저하된다는 것은 널리 알려진 사실이다. 이러한 사실을 바탕으로 플럭의 가능최대 크기를 콜모고로브 길이규모로 제한하였으며, 하상으로부터의 거리에 따라 콜모고로브 길이규모의 변화로 인해 콜모고로브 길이규모 부근에서 하나의 최빈값이 추가로 나타나는 것으로 이해된다. 수치모의 결과로부터 얻어진 콜모고로브 길이규모와 입도분포 형태의 상관관계를 보다 정확하게 이해하기 위해 실측 자료들을 검토해 본 결과, 균질한 재료를 이용한 실험실 실험결과에서 플럭 이봉분포의 최빈값이 콜모고로브 길이규모와 일치하는 것이 확인되었다. 연안지역에서 측정을 수행한 자료들에서도 이봉분포 또는 다봉분포와 콜모고로브 길이 규모와의 상관성을 찾아볼 수 있었다.

The design concept of high speed railway bridges is applied to a method for increasing the stiffness of existing bridge structures considering the impact factor by a static load. Generally, the process of structural design would be relied upon an advanced foreign technology. However, the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) and dynamic capacity assessment of high speed railway bridges may be conducted essentially a detailed estimation because the resonance phenomenon is affected by the long length (380 m) and high speed (300 km/h) moving of a high speed railway (Korea Train eXpress: KTX). Therefore, this study will be examined the dynamic capacity of the typical PSC Box Girder high speed railway bridge efficiently, and offered the basic information for the reasonable structural design. For this, the static analysis is conducted considering the load line diagram of KTX based upon existing references. In addition, the KTX moving load is transformed into the time series load considering various analytical variables. The time history analysis is assessed reasonable using the transformed time series load. At that time, analytical variables for calculating the time series load are considered loading node distance, time increment and KTX velocity variation etc. The dynamic capacity of the PSC Box Girder high speed railway bridge is examined based upon the FE analysis result systematically. The structural safety is assessed quantitatively in accordance with the related regulation of the inside and outside of the country.

This study choose the Criteria by conducting survey questionnaire of expertise, ANP analysis, and reviewing literature to samples of School Zone in a synthetic and reasonable way. It draws the estimating factors including a variety of existing aspects (user, facility, operation and management, and education and institution) from the analyses and applies ANP to reflect the decision making process. The results show as follows: first, first level of weights presents proportion of 'facility' and 'user' takes 65% of total weights. It implies that the facility protects children from obstacles is the top priority of the settings. second, the second level of weights present similar importance with the first level. Facility management, road to school, surroundings, safety facility, decelerating facility hold approximately 72% of overall levels. This indicates that improving and repairing surroundings, and safety and decelerating facility are the first priority to consider. These estimating indicators will be properly utilized to rationally appoint prevention zone with reflecting various factors and social class.

Recent weather changes have led to an increase in heavy rainfall resulting in frequent large-scale slope failures. To minimize damage to life and property, a measurement system is used in slope failure warning systems. However, understanding the slope failure behavior is difficult as the measurement system only measures a specific point. Therefore, numerical analysis must be p erformed with the measurement system. The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) drying curve and boundary conditions that consider evapotranspiration and precipitation have been applied to numerical analysis, but the hysteresis of SWCC affects the numerical analysis results. To address this, a new evapotranspiration calculation method is proposed and applied to boundary conditions, and the measurement data are compared with the results of the numerical analysis. This method takes into account the different infiltration behaviors on evapotranspiration according to the drying and wetting curves of the SWCC, and allows for a more rational prediction of water movement on unsaturated slopes.

The ultimate strengths of reinforced concrete deep beams are governed by the capacity of the shear resistance mechanism composed of concrete and shear reinforcing bars, and the structural behaviors of the beams are mainly controlled by the mechanical relationships according to the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, load and support conditions, and material properties. In this study, a simple indeterminate strut-tie model reflecting all characteristics of the ultimate strengths and complicated structural behaviors is presented for the design of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams. In addition, a load distribution ratio, defined as a magnitude of load transferred by a vertical truss mechanism, is proposed to help structural designers perform the design of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams by using the strut-tie model approaches of current design codes. In the determination of a load distribution ratio, a concept of balanced shear reinforcement ratio requiring a simultaneous failure of inclined concrete strut and vertical steel tie is introduced to ensure the ductile shear failure of reinforced concrete deep beams, and the prime design variables including the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, and compressive strength of concrete influencing the ultimate strength and behavior are reflected upon based on various and numerous numerical analysis results. In the companion paper, the validity of presented model and load distribution ratio was examined by employing them to the evaluation of the ultimate strengths of various simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams tested to failure.

The Prestressed Concrete (hereinafter PSC) box girder bridges with corrugated steel webs have been drawing an attention as a new structure type of PSC bridge fully utilizing the feature of concrete and steel. However, the previous study focused on the shear buckling of the corrugated steel web and development of connection between concrete flange and steel web. Therefore, it needs to perform a study on the torsional behavior and develop the rational torsional analysis model for PSC box girder with corrugated steel web. In this study, torsional analysis model is developed using Rausch's equation based on space truss model, equilibrium equation considering softening effect of reinforced concrete element and compatibility equation. Validation studies are performed on developed model through the comparison with the experimental results of loading test for PSC box girder with corrugated steel webs. Parametric studies are also performed to investigate the effect of prestressing force and concrete strength in torsional behavior of PSC box girder with corrugated steel web. The modified correction factor is also derived for the torsional coefficient of PSC box girder with corrugated steel web through the parametric study using the proposed anlaytical model.

The goal of this research is to develop and apply the integrational operation method (IOM) for the modeling of the monthly pan evaporation (PE) and the alfalfa reference evapotranspiration ($ET_r$). Since the observed data of the alfalfa $ET_r$ using lysimeter have not been measured for a long time in Republic of Korea, Penman-Monteith (PM) method is used to estimate the observed alfalfa $ET_r$. The IOM consists of the application of the stochastic and neural networks models, respectively. The stochastic model is applied to generate the training dataset for the monthly PE and the alfalfa $ET_r$, and the neural networks models are applied to calculate the observed test dataset reasonably. Among the considered six training patterns, 1,000/PARMA(1,1)/GRNNM-GA training pattern can evaluate the suggested climatic variables very well and also construct the reliable data for the monthly PE and the alfalfa $ET_r$. Uncertainty analysis is used to eliminate the climatic variables of input nodes from 1,000/PARMA(1,1)/GRNNM-GA training pattern. The sensitive and insensitive climatic variables are chosen from the uncertainty analysis of the input nodes. Finally, it can be to model the monthly PE and the alfalfa $ET_r$ simultaneously with the least cost and endeavor using the IOM.

The strut-tie model approach has proven to be effective in the ultimate analysis and design of structural concrete with disturbed regions. For the reliable analysis and design by the approach, however, the effective strength of concrete struts must be determined accurately. In this study, the validity of the effective strength of concrete struts, presented by the several design codes and many researchers including the author, was examined through the ultimate strength analysis of 24 reinforced concrete panels, 275 reinforced concrete deep beams, and 218 reinforced concrete corbels by using the conventional linear strut-tie model approach of current codes. The present study shows that the author's approach, resulting in an accurate and consistent evaluation of the ultimate strength of the panels, deep beams, and corbels, may reflect rationally the effects of primary variables including the types of strut-tie model and structural concrete, the conditions of load and geometry, and the strength of concrete in the strut-tie model analysis and design of structural concrete.
