This study aims to establish basic data for efficient management of rural water by analyzing regional irrigation facilities and benefitted areas in the statistical yearbook of land and water development for agriculture at the watershed level. For 511 domestic rural water use areas, water storage facilities (reservoirs, pumping & drainage stations, intake weirs, infiltration galleries, and tube wells) are spatially distributed, and the benefitted areas provided at the city/county level are divided by water use area to provide agricultural water supply facilities. The characteristics of rural water district areas such as benefitted area, were analyzed by basin. The average area of Korea's 511 rural water districts is 19,638 ha. The average benefitted area by rural water district is 1,270 ha, with the Geum River basin at 2,220 ha and the Yeongsan River basin at 1,868 ha, which is larger than the overall average. The Han River basin at 807 ha, the Nakdong River basin at 1,121 ha, and the Seomjing River basin at 938 ha are smaller than the overall average. The results of this basic analysis are expected to be used to set the direction of various supply and demand management projects that take into account the rational and scientific use and distribution of rural water and the characteristics of water use areas by presenting a quantitative definition of Korea's agricultural water districts.

The modal split structure of the Korea's transportation system has been dominated by road-oriented structure. The shortage of the inftrastructure to accommodate the rapidly increasing travel demand has brought about socio-economic losses such as severe traffic congestion and high logistic costs, and thereby weakened the competitiveness of the country. Highway transportation sector is more vulnerable to energy consumption comparing with railway sector since the highway sector is dependent mostly on fossil fuels for its energy source. In 2006 annual road cogestion costs in Korea reached 24.6 trillion won, with an average annual growth rate of 5.4%. The annual road congestion cost of intercity highways were 9.2 trillion won. As the new cities that recently developed are located far from Seoul area, the boundary of commuting in Seoul metropolitan area is extended. It makes passengers have longer trips with longer travel time, and the congestion problem to be more serious. In this regards, Gyeonggi Provincial Government proposed a deeper underground metropolitan express train system for the greater Metropolitan area. which is named as GTX. Gyeonggi Province suggested 3 key underground lines, based on the outcome of the feasibility study conducted by the Korea Society of Transportation, and submitted to the Ministry of Land Transportation and Maritime Affairs for its review. If the project is approved for construction and completed in 2016, the daily volume of surface traffic bound for Seoul will be reduced substantially and therefore the users will be benefitted for time savings by an annual amount of 2 trilion won every year.

초고강도 콘크리트의 강도와 유동성 확보를 위해 실리카흄(SF)를 사용하는 전통적인 방식에서 벗어나 산화 그래핀 나노플레이트릿(Oxidized graphene nanoplatelet, GO)와 유공유리분말( Hollow glass powder, HGP)를 사용한 초고강도 콘크리트를 개발하였고 본 연구에서는 자기수축 특성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과 SF를 사용한 Ref 배합보다 SF를 사용하지 않고 cGO(C사의 GO)와 HGP를 사용한 NewMix 배합의 자기수축이 13% 정도 감소하였다. NewMix의 자기수축에 의한 균열발생은 Ref 보다 1일 정도 지연되었고 균열발생 시의 인장응력은 가장 높았다. cGO의 높은 비표면적과 우수한 분산성으로 콘크리트 내의 공극들이 충전 되어 자기수축이 감소하고 cGO에 의한 균열저항 성능이 증가하여 초고강도 콘크리트의 자기수축 균열 제어에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 농업 분야의 경쟁력 강화를 위한 농식품 ICT융복합이 중요한 이슈로 제기되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 본 연구는 농업법인의 정보화 수준을 진단하고 발전 방안을 도출하기 위해 농업법인 3,019개에 대해 설문조사를 진행하여 정보화수준 점수를 산출하였고, 농업도 점차 기업화되고 있는 농업법인이 늘어나고 있어 중소기업 정보화 수준 조사 결과와 비교분석을 진행하였다. 농업법인의 점수 산출을 위해 정보화수준 평가체계를 수립하였고, 평가 영역, 평가 지표, 평가 항목별 가중치 산출을 위해 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 기법을 사용하였다. 그 결과 평가 영역별로 보면 정보화 추진 환경 영역의 수준이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 조직형태별 분석 결과에서는 농업 회사법인의 정보화수준이 영농조합법인보다 높았으며, 경영유형별로는 가공 및 유통의 정보화수준이 다른 유형에 비해 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 농업법인의 정보화수준은 2013년 기준 중소기업(50.18점) 정보화수준 대비 80.0%, 대기업(67.64점) 대비 59.4%로 나타났다. 특히, 투자타당성 분석, 정보화 투자, 정보화 교육의 격차가 큰 것으로 나타나 개선방안이 필요할 것이다.

Small valves including ball valves, gate valves and butterfly valves have been adopted in the fields of steam power generation, petrochemical industry, carriers, and oil tankers. Butterfly valves have normally been applied to fields where in narrow places installing the existing valves such as gate valves and ball valves have proven difficult due to the surrounding area and the heavier of these valves. Butterfly valves are used to control the mass flow of the piping system under low pressure by rotating the circular disk installed inside. The butterfly valve is benefitted by having simpler structure in which the flow is controlled by rotating the disc circular plate along the center axis, whereas the weight of the valve is light compared to the gate valve and ball valve above-mentioned, as there is no additional bracket supporting the valve body. The manufacturing company needs to acquire the performance and life test equipment, in the case of adopting the improving factors to detect leakage and damage on the seat of the valve disc. However, small companies, which are manufacturing the industrial valves, normally sell their products without the life test, which is the reliability test and environment test, because of financial and manpower problems. Furthermore, the failure mode analysis of the products failed in the field is likewise problematic as there is no system collecting the failure data on sites for analyzing the failures of valves. The analyzing and researching process is not arranged systematically because of the financial problem. Therefore this study firstly tried to obtain information about the failure data from the sites, analyzed the failure mode based on the field data collected from the customers, and then obtained field data using measuring equipment. Secondly, we designed and manufactured the performance and life test equipment which also have the real time monitoring system with the naked eye for the butterfly valves. The concept of this equipment can also be adopted by other valves, such as the ball valve, gate valve, and various others. It can be applied to variously sized valves, ranging from 25 mm to large sized valves exceeding 3000 mm. Finally, this study carries out the life test with square wave pressure, using performance and life test equipment. The performance found out that the failures from the real time monitoring system were good. The results of this study can be expanded to the other valves like ball valves, gate valves, and control valves to find out the failure mode using the real time monitoring system for durability and performance tests.
