Time pasages could deteriorate the flow ability and hold the flow in the water distribution facilities because of their erosion and breakdown. It is necessary that the study to determine the optimal change time and the improvement plan for the continuous management using optimization methods or decision support systems. But, the present study tendency only aware the changes of hydraulic characteristics without industrial management plans. This study shows the pipe replacement program in these two concepts and the elementary process to apply it to Daejeon city.

This study is intended to propose a systematic and practical life cycle cost(LCC) model for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of long-span PC bridges. The LCC models consist of five cost functions such as initial cost, repair/replacement cost, human losses, road user cost, and indirect losses of regional economy. The proposed model Is successfully expressed in temrs of Park-Ang damage indices and life cycle damage probability obtained from SMART-DRAIN-2DX which is an existing algorithm for nonlinear time history analysis. The proposed LCC model is successfully applied to a viaduct constructed by PSM, in Seoul. Based on the observations, the proposed systematic procedure for the formulation of LCC model may be useful for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of long-span PC bridges.

This paper is to investigate the effect of W/B, blend ratio of crushed sand with sea sand on fluidity and strength properties of high strength concrete utilizing crushed sand. W/B set up 0.25, 0.30, 0.35 and the blend ratio of crushed sand with sea sand set up 0:100, 30:70, 50:50, 70:30, 100:0 The results of this study are summarized as the follows; 1) The increase of the blend rate of crushed sand, affected on the enhancement of flow, the increase of dosage of SP and water content, but the decrease S/a 2) Compressive strength is increased when crushed sand $30\~70\%$ was replaced with sea sand. 3) The optimal replacement percentage of crushed sand is $50\%$ with sea sand.

Because the physical·chemical properties of bottom ash are inferior, most bottom ash is disused. But the use of bottom ash helps in reducing environmental pollution and solving some bottom ash waste problems. So, we have been investigating about the optimum mixture, hardening mechanism, curing condition and environmental safety of a paste composed of a bottom ash and alkali. optimal mixing proportion of bottom ash solid was cement 5%, water 30%, NaOH 10%. After curing during 28days, bottom ash solid can be achieved compressive strength 15.13MPa. As a result, Compressive strength tests of alkali-activated bottom ash have potential as a replacement of coarse aggregate.

In this study, a replacement ratio of blast furnace slag coarse aggregate and a water binder ratio by an optimum combination of PHC file was investigated. As a results, the target strength 78.5MPa was altogether satisfied in a mix proportion 28-G100-SG0 and W/B ratio 26 %. The surface rupture was generated in 28-G0-SG100 combination after curing with the autoclave. According to the result of measuring the ingredient, the majority were the MgOH2 hydrate.

In successive sampling on two occasions the problem of estimating a finite population quantile has been considered. The theory developed aims at providing the optimum estimates by combining (i) three double sampling estimators viz. ratio-type, product-type and regression-type, from the matched portion of the sample and (ii) a simple quantile based on a random sample from the unmatched portion of the sample on the second occasion. The approximate variance formulae of the suggested estimators have been obtained. Optimal matching fraction is discussed. A simulation study is carried out in order to compare the three estimators and direct estimator. It is found that the performance of the regression-type estimator is the best among all the estimators discussed here.

A reliability approach to evaluate structural performance has gained increased acceptability and usage over the past two decades. Most reliability analyses are based on the reliability of an individual component without examining the entire structural system. These analyses often result in either unnecessary repairs or unsafe structures. This study uses examples of series, parallel, and series-parallel models of structural systems to illustrate how the component reliabilities affect the reliability of the entire system. The component-system reliability interaction can be used to develop optimum lifetime inspection and repair strategies for structural systems. These examples demonstrate that such strategies must be based on the reliability of the entire structural system. They also demonstrate that the location of an individual component in the system has a profound effect on the acceptable reliability of that component. Furthermore, when a structure is deteriorating over time, the reliability importance of various components is a1so changing with time. For this reason, the most critical component in the early life of the structure may not tie the most critical later.

This study was performed to investigate the flow behavior of fresh concrete. strength properties, and durability properties on the chloride penetration resistance of hardened concrete containing Meta-Kaolin(MK) in the range from common strength to high strength to facilitate the use. The results are compared with properties of concrete containing Si1ca Fume(SF). As a result. superplasticizer required in MK concrete was decreased by 8-28% compared to SF concrete with the same slump, but MK concrete became more sticky than SF concrete. It was also found that considering the strength, the optimal cement replacement ratio of MK was 15%, and MK had concrete durable and dense by decreasing the average pore diameter of concrete.

This study is intended to propose a systematic procedure for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective Performance criteria for design and upgrading of long span PC bridges. In the paper, a set of cost function models for life cycle cost analysis of bridges is proposed. The total life cycle cost functions consist of initial cost and direct/indirect damage costs considering repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, road user costs, and indirect regional economic losses. The damage costs are successfully expressed in terms of Park-Ang median global damage indices and damage probabilities. The proposed approach is successfully applied to model bridges in both regions of a moderate seismicity area like Seoul, Korea and a high one like Tokyo, Japan. It may be expected that the proposed approach can be effectively utilized for the development of cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of various types of bridges as well as long span PC bridges.
