For the construction of high-rise structures and the optimized foundation design, the use of the large-diameter PHC pile has increased. Especially, the use of the 600 mm diameter PHC pile has significantly increased. In this study, for the evaluation of the suitability of the current design practice, the 46 dynamic pile load tests, which were carried out in the 600 mm diameter preboring PHC pile, are analyzed. The end bearing capacity is obtained from the end of initial driving test and the shaft capacity is estimated from the restrike test. The allowable capacities estimated by the dynamic load test are compared with those based on the current design practice. The analyses show that the allowable end bearing capacity evaluated by the dynamic pile load test is greater than the design practice in most piles. The allowable shaft capacity, however, is smaller than the design practice in many piles. The higher end bearing capacity and the smaller shaft capacity may result from the improvement of the drilling equipment and the increase in the penetration depth. Thus, the portion of the end bearing capacity in the total capacity increases.

In this study, the flexural strength and curvature ductility factor of single and hybrid fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete flexural members with conventional steel rebar were evaluated by experimental program with 3-UHSC beams. Test specimens were loaded by 4-pointed flexural loading. According to the test results, hybrid fiber reinforced UHPC test specimens had higher moment resisting capacity and ductility. For the safe design of hybrid fiber reinforced UHPC, test specimens were analyzed according to the sectional analysis method with material models suggested by K-UHPC design recommendation. Current K-UHPC design recommendation predict the moment resisting capacity of member conventionally and over-estimated the ductility.

Previous test equipment was bulky, took a long time to check, and was somewhat less economical. Since most of the checks were about analog signals, we preferred to check them using reference equipments. In this paper, a digital circuit design based on AITS is used to implement signals that can not utilize commercial measurement resources, and also designed and manufactured equipment that can inspect SRU. These test equipments were tested and evaluated by development, operation, and field evaluation, and they were installed to the Korean Field Force. This contributed to the improvement of operability by shortening the inspection time from 83.2 minutes to 7.8 minutes on average In addition, it did not utilize the reference equipment, so it could play a big role in lowering the mass production cost.

Since the columns with flexure-shear failure have lower ductility than those with flexural failure, shear capacity curve models shall be applied as well as flexural capacity curve in order to determine ultimate displacement for seismic design or performance evaluation. In this paper, a modified shear capacity curve model is proposed and compared with the other models such as the CALTRANS model, Aschheim et al.'s model, and Priestley et al.'s model. Four shear capacity curve models are applied to the 4 full scale circular bridge column test results and the accuracy of each model is discussed. It may not be fully adequate to drive a final decision from the application to the limited number of test results, however the proposed model provides the better prediction of failure mode and ultimate displacement than the other models for the selected column test results.

Full scale durability test in the laboratory is an essential of any fatigue life evaluation of components or structures of the automotive vehicle. Component testing is particularly important in today's highly competitive industries where the design to reduce weight and production costs must be balanced with the necessity to avoid expensive service failure. Generally, hydraulic road simulator is used to carry out the fatigue test and the vibration test. In this paper, the link unit which is able to realize the 3 element forces such as vertical force, lateral force, and longitudinal force that are applied to the road simulator is designed. Also, the designed link is verified with kinematics and inverse-kinematics. From this results, the designed factor satisfied the maximum stroke so that it satisfied the requirements for 3-axial road simulator.

This research paper aims to establish a test process of the AFE SiP chip. It measured the sensitivity, current consumption and power consumption both on the evaluation socket board and Catalyst load board. As a result, the sensitivity became deteriorated with an average of 0.2[dBm] at the channel 62 only, the current consumption increased to an average of 0.57[mA] and the power consumption increased to an average of 1.76[mW], But all characteristics incomes the tolerance of the measurement, it also keeps almost the same level. Therefore this design of the test process improved a valid design.

Processing parameters of filament winding were investigated by using design of experiment. To understand 4 main effects(fiber tension, impregnation pressure, processing rate, and temperature) and 3 interactions, $L_{27}(3^{13})$ orthogonal array table was adopted. The used materials were carbon fiber and epoxy resin. Split disk test and short-beam test, which are the general test methods for filament wound composite material, were selected as evaluation methods for a filament would part. The optimal processing parameters for the filament winding were easily found through the analysis of variance of the experimental results.

The degradation and damage of the components for ballasted track could be caused a serious problem for railway safety. Therefore, the integrity evaluation of ballasted track condition is important to ensure and predict that the track safety and track maintenance. Various track components such as rail pad, ballast, sleeper, and rail that are widely used in Republic of Korea and represent a range of physical properties have been selected for this research. In this study, the experimental modal analysis was performed by the non-destructive testing. Modal test results were obtained from the field test and used to assess the condition of the track components. From the field test, the system of ballasted track was found to be simplified as a two-degree-of-freedom(2DOF) dynamic system. The condition of track component was found to directly affect the dynamic response of ballasted tracks. As the results, the dynamic properties of the track component was depend on the track condition and was distributed more roughly and over a wider range than its initial design values. Further, the methodology presented in this study is possible to determine experimentally the fundamental track parameters which are required in the numerical analysis, and also are useful for the safety assessment of track condition.

An active radio frequency identification (RFID) system has the advantages of a long identification distance and a good identification rate, overcoming passive RFID drawbacks. Therefore, interest in the development of active RFID systems has been gradually increasing in areas of harbor logistics and national defense. However, some identification failures between active RFID systems developed under the same standards have been reported, presumably due to a lack of development of accurate evaluation methods and test equipment. We present a realization of the hardware and software of an emulator to evaluate the standard conformance of an active RFID system in a fully anechoic chamber. The performance levels of the designed emulator are analyzed using Matlab/Simulink simulations, and the applicability of the emulator is verified by evaluating the standard conformance of a real active RFID tag. Finally, we propose a new evaluation method by incorporating a self-running test mode environment into the RFID tags to reduce testing time and increase testing accuracy. The application of the suggested method to actual tags improves measurement uncertainty by 0.56 dB over that obtained using existing methods.
