Bridge deck has a role in a comfortable and safe passage of vehicles. At the same time, it preserves upper structure against the abrasion and shearing due to impact of traffic loads in bridges or has a role to protect the plate from off adverse effect of climatic process as rain, chemicals. Currently, the total number of inspected bridges is 6,248 in the general national road and to maintain effectively, Introduction of GPR system mounted in the vehicle has been considered. In this research, the comparison and analysis of bridge deck condition on general national road has been performed with major variations of superstructure type, span lengths, located region and ages by using 'the current status of road bridge and tunnel' that is provided by MLTM(Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs). As a result, Condition assessment grade, superstructure type, age and length were derived as a major factor to determine priority for the condition assessment.

In this study, we investigated the effects of detoxified puffer liver (PL) oil on fatigue, hepatotoxicity and hyperlipidemia. There are no toxicities in both raw and purified PL oil. The test of swimming time was extended in detoxified PL oil pretreated group compared to the non-treated group. When rats treated with PL oil, the hepatic injuries induced by carbon tetrachloride or DL-galactosamine were reduced. The increased serum triglyceride and total cholesterol by poloxamer-407 were lowered by treating with PL oil remarkably. Also the bleeding time of hyperlipidemic animals was extended and plasma clotting time was delayed by PL oil.

After applying the fiber cocktail(polypropylene and steel fibers) into the mixture of high strength concrete with a compressive strength of 50 MP, the fire test was carried out on specimens in order to evaluate the fire resistance performance, such as possible explosive spalling, temperature distributions of concrete and rebar. According to an enforcement ordinance, four column specimens were exposed to the fire for 180 minutes based on the standard curve of ISO-834. No explosive spalling has been observed. The required minimum quantity of polypropylene to prevent explosive spalling is more than 0.57 kg per unit concrete volume. The comparing test results from temperature distributions of concrete and rebar has found that the difference of fiber quantity is insignificant.

In order to observe the impact of a type of vehicles for traffic flows and pavement, vehicle classifications is conducted. Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs provides 12-type vehicle classifications on National expressways, National highways, and Provincial roads. Current AVC (Automatic Vehicle Classification) devices decide vehicle types comparing measurements of vehicle lengths, wheelbases, overhangs etc. to a reference table including those of all types of models. This study developed an algorithm for macroscopic vehicle classification which is less sensitive to tuning sensors and updating the reference table. For those characteristics, trend lines in vehicle lengths and wheelbases are employed. To assess the algorithm developed, vehicle lengths and wheelbases were collected from an AVC device. In this experiment, this algorithm showed the accuracy of 88.2 % compared to true values obtained from video replaying. Our efforts in this study are expected to contribute to developing devices for macroscopic vehicle classification.

Recently, Intelligent Excavating System(IES) for earthwork automation is on progress since the end of 2006 as a part of construction technology innovation projects in Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. Task Planning System(TPS), one of the detail core technologies of IES, is an optimal work planning system in conditions of effectiveness, safety and economic efficiency by analyzing the work environment data based on earthwork design and work environment recognition technology. For effective earthwork planning, the location of platform must be the most optimal spot for minimization of time, maximization of productivity and reduction of overlapped work spaces and unnecessariness. Besides, the decision of optimal platform location is to be based on the specifications and then is able to be converted with the local area calculation algorithm. This study explains the decision of optimal platform location on the basis of local area from the work space separate process and judges the effectiveness.

This study is concerned with the optimum design of stiffened cylindrical members frequently found in floating offshore platforms with constraints on reliability. Minimised is the expected total cost which is composed of the structural cost and the expected failure cost. Some design requirements drawn from variotus design codes are also considered as constraints. Reliability of critical component in a structure only is considered in this paper and the system failure is discarded since the probability of system failure is in general much smaller than the probability of component failure and it is very difficult to evaluate the cost due to system failure. Ultimate strength only is considered and not the fatigue strength. Several parametric studies are illustrated and the optimum solutions for different strength models which are now in use for the design of stiffened cylinders are derived to show the optimum designs against different strength models for the same type of structural component. The present results lead to the important conclusions relating to the posibility of more cost saving in the design of such structure through the reliability-based optimisation process.

Recently, International Maritime Organization has been developing e-navigation implementation strategy plan, which is focused on various services for vessel safety navigation. Then, different kinds of software will be developed in maritime area and with this, the quality issues are to be expected becoming more important. In this paper, we adopt software refactoring techniques to reduce the complexity of structure on source code level. It makes software program more effective to understand and modify, without any change of outward behavior. The existing AIS broadcast server program is used as an example for our trial, and calculating coupling and cohesion metric are introduced to analyze the refactoring effect, taking account of the maintainability of IEC/ISO9126 software quality standards.

Maritime Cloud has been progressed by IMO as a part of the e-Navigation Strategy Implementation Plan. Development of maritime cloud enables safe and reliable information exchange among maritime stakeholders. The research conducted static analysis of open source-based maritime cloud for design and development of e-Navigation application service. As a result, configuration and role of component of MMS, one of core technologies of maritime cloud, was found out. Also, in order to grasp maritime cloud-based application, we found operation process and relationship between maritime cloud and client by analyzing EPD. The findings of the research could be utilized for developing future e-Navigation service.

In this paper, we describe the methods for quantitative evaluation of placement of aids to navigations (AtoN). AtoN is the additive devices for navigation that inform navigators using human vision and guide navigators to safe watercourse. Therefore the effectiveness of placement of AtoN can be quantified according to the grade of visibile recognition to navigators. In order words, the placement of AtoN can be quantified in the sense of visibility. In this study, we describe the methods for quantifying the visibility about the placement of AtoN. Using AtoN simulator which has been developed by Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO), the quantitative method is investigated for the pre-installed placement of AtoNs.

The purpose of this study is to examine improvements relating to lifesaving by the comparative study of The International Life Saving Federation (ILS) and the domestic institutions. ILS divided places into pool, the inland surface water, and the outer surface water and was using a more fine-grained and specialized educational programs due to location and environmental factors. The other side, domestic organizations also conducted various methods depending on each association. In conclusion, we suggest that preferentially we need to establish an educational system which has public confidence and unify the terminology for lifeguard. And the institutions need to popularize the advanced lifesaving system through international exchanges.
