  • Previous study showed that delamination region in concrete structures can be successfully visualized using mode shapes of delaminated concrete section. However, modal tests for this purpose to obtain mode shapes of the delaminated concrete section may not be applicable in practice since, to correctly obtain the mode shapes of the section, the location and the shape of the delamination region in a structure should be known in advance. Unfortunately those are normally unknown in a real structure. Therefore, a moving forward test method may be useful to obtain the mode shapes of the concrete section when the location and the shape of the delamination region are not known. In this study, impact-echo testing based mode shape estimation technique is proposed and experimentally validated for visualization of delamination region.

  • There is a possibility that electrical sparks may occur at discontinuities in metallic structures from distance of close to high power radio/radar transmitters. Voltage may be induced on these metallic structures by the radio-frequency transmitter. In this case, a person who comes into contact with these structure may be undergone a severe electrical shock. In this paper, assessment of the electrical shock and ignition hazards was investigated through experimental which are consisted radio transmitter and metallic loop-type structure in shield room. We measured that the induced voltage was highest at 61 MHz of transmission frequency, and confirmed the possibility of electric shock and explosion induced by a voltage or spark. But it is needed additional research where is opened site.

  • The safety of LPG vessel storage has been simply designed and controled with blast wave barrier structure concept regardless of its quantity or hazardous situation. The limit of regal controls on LPG vessel storage need to be identified in terms of safety buffer distance from LPG explosion. The level of overpressure effect and heat radiation to the neighbouring structure and human activity required to be estimated to find the gap between existing controls on such storage. PHAST and IAEA manual for risk rankings and assessment had been applied to get the required safety distance for neighbouring facilities, Japanese legal control for such facilities were also investigated. To this context the issues on LPG vessel storage required additional safety distance between existing blast wave barrier structure and safety separation distances.

  • In order to examine the thermal properties of the wire materials, we analyzed the shrinkage, the expansion and the form transformation, the surface structure according to the thermal deterioration temperature through the testing method for a heating shrinkage of Korean Industrial Standard(KS C 3004). For IV(600V grade polyvinyl chloride insulated wires), we measured the shrinkage and the expansion rate, analyzed the surface structure using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). In the result of this experiment, the shrinkage rate of IV 2.0mm covering was high in comparison with other wires. As the deterioration temperature rises gradually, the covering is molten and harden.

  • When the foundation work of the underground part of the building structure or the excavation work of the civil engineering structure is carried out, there is the earthwork work by the inevitable process. As the economic situation continues to develop, construction in urban areas is becoming bigger and higher in scale due to the expansion of infrastructure and the rescue of urban dwellings in urban areas, and excavation of underground roads is inevitable. Excavation of the underground part may cause problems in the process difficulty and safety of the earthworks due to the complexity and various characteristics of the ground selected without consideration of the ground characteristics and site conditions. In order to complete the required facilities, it is necessary to secure the design and construction of the retaining walls. In order to complete the required construction, It is an important factor satisfying construction period and economical efficiency.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish a hypothetical model on silence regarding patient safety and to verify the model's goodness of fit and hypotheses. Methods: The participants in this study were 330 registered nurses working in tertiary hospitals with over 300 beds. Data were collected between July 1, and August 30, 2017, from nurses who agreed to participate. A covariance structure analysis was performed. Results: The model of fit index was $x^2=59.54$, normed $x^2=2.29$, GFI=.97, AGFI=.93, SRMR=.05, NFI=.99, CFI=.95 and RMSEA=.05. The organizational culture had an influence on patient safety motivation (${\beta}=.26$, p=.003) and attitude (${\beta}=.43$, p<.001). RN-MD collaboration had an influence on patient safety motivation (${\beta}=.33$, p<.001), attitude (${\beta}=.35$, p<.001), and patient safety silence (${\beta}=-.17$, p=.026). Supervisory trust had an influence on patient safety motivation (${\beta}=.26$, p<.001), attitude (${\beta}=.12$, p=.036), and patient safety silence (${\beta}=-.23$, p=.002). Patient safety motivation had an influence on patient safety silence (${\beta}=-.33$, p=.006). The model of patient safety silence explained 36.0% of the variances. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it provides basic data for nursing education and program development for rejecting patient safety silence.

  • To monitor the safety and serviceability of a structures, structural responses including displacements due to various design and unexpected loadings must be measured. The maximum displacement and its distributions of a structure can be used as a direct assessment index on its stiffness. For this reason, there have been diversely studied on measuring of the maximum displacement of a structure. However, there is no practical method for measuring displacement of a structure. Therefore, in this paper, new displacement measuring method is developed and accuracy of LiDAR is examined in detail for development of a new method for measuring displacement of a structure.

  • The structure performance of a sealed power facilities and the explosion simulation contains significant amounts of scatter, and variability has been characterized in material properties of the structure, a sealed space density, combustible gas volume, gas concentrativeness, ignition site, and gas volume. In order to deal with such uncertainties, structural reliability analysis calculates the failure probability and the reliability index relevant to selected limit states providing quantitative measures of these uncertainties. In this study, structure safety assessment method on the explosion of a sealed power facilities was proposed by using the response surface method (RSM).

  • The appropriate ventilation system in vehicular tunnel should be the most economical solution with regard to both construction and maintenance. The damages on tunnel lining was affected by formula of ventilation system in long vehicular tunnel. In this study, carbonation, one of main experimental items in precision safety diagnosis, was analyzed by contouring damage area with ventilation system. Considerations of carbonation were also given to the design and maintenance which manage the long-term safety in tunnel.

  • In this paper, we studied on the growing characteristics of dendrite structure of melted wire deteriorated by over current. Electric wire was melted by Jolue's heat. By using HSIS(High Speed Imaging System), we found out a lot of melted parts of wire were dispersed and radiated. Electric wire had narrow melted areas in case of short fusing time. A lot of very small dots generated around the grain of copper cross-section and they were changed into dendrite structure. Dendrite structure appeared at the values lower than 2.5[A/sec]. In case of very short fusing time, fusing current was calculated by empirical formula. The Preece equation was not enough to analyze a variety of characteristics of melted wire because it did not consider melting time, atmosphere, etc.
