Based on the reconnaissance of buildings in Dujiangyan City during 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, China, structural damage characteristics and the spatial distribution of structural damage are investigated, and the possible reasons for the extraordinary features are discussed with consideration of the influence of urban historical evolution and spatial variation of earthquake motions. Firstly, the urban plan and typical characteristics of structural seismic damage are briefly presented and summarized. Spatial distribution of structural damage is then comparatively analyzed by classifying all surveyed buildings in accordance with different construction age, considering the influence of seismic design code on urban buildings. Finally, the influences of evolution of seismic design code, topographic condition, local site and distance from fault rupture on spatial distribution of structural damage are comprehensively discussed. It is concluded that spatial variation of earthquake motions, resulting from topography, local site effect and fault rupture, are very important factor leading to the extraordinary spatial distribution of building damage except the evolution of seismic design codes. It is necessary that the spatial distribution of earthquake motions should be considered in seismic design of structures located in complicated topography area and near active faults.

It is necessary to study the prevention and the management of electrical facilities because the electrical fault took place at the dust occurrence area due to environmental pollution. In particular, the dust accumulates easily on insulation material which is exposed an external long time. The leakage current brings out electrical fault after all. Also, it is need to variation of material and shape to repress a leakage current on electrical material. In this paper, we measured a leakage current on electrical material of facilities by dust, and in experiments the prevention to electrical fault was studied.

Digital technology has advanced significantly over the years both in terms of software tools and hardware availability. It is now applied extensively throughout many area of electrical engineering including protective relaying in power systems. Digital relays have numerous advantages over traditional analog relays, such as the ability to accomplish what is difficult or impossible using analog relays. Although non real-time simulators like PSCAD/EMTDC are employed to test the algorithms, such simulations are disadvantaged in that they cannot test the relay dynamically. Hence, real-time simulators like RTDS are used. However, the latter requires large space and is very expensive. This paper uses EMTP MODELS to simulate the power system and the distance relay. The distance relay algorithm is implemented and the distance relay is interfaced with a test power system. The distance relay's performance is then assessed interactively under various fault types, fault distances and fault inception angles. The test results show that we can simulate the distance relay effectively and we can examine the operation of the distance relay very closely including its drawbacks/limitations by using EMTP MODELS. Equally important, this approach facilitates any changes that need to be carried out in order to enhance the Distance Relay under test/examination.

This study inspects the fault of the vehicle forming assembly and the assembly state of components at high speed and high degree of precision. This study also proposes the general inspection system capable of adapting to a number of products. The inspection program is composed of the fault inspection algorithm to examine the surface of the object and the state of the assembly and the high speed procession algorithm for the real time examination. The fault inspection algorithm is processed largely by a method using average of pixel in ROI and a method dividing the area and checking the presence of the object. Lastly, we verified the efficiency of the sysytem through the evaluation of its accuracy and processing time.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_x$(Yl23) Superconducting thick films on $Y_2BaCuO_5$(Y211) substrate were Prepared by surface diffusion process between $BaCuO_2$+CuO composite coating powder and a Y2ll substrate. X-ray diffraction shows that the Yl23 layer onto Y2ll substrate is the orthorhombic crystal structure. The specimen heated at $940^{\circ}C$ for 2h showed the maximum $J_c$ fo 500A/$cm^2$. Based on optimal condition, the superconducting fault current limiter(FCL) having a current limiting area 1mm wide and 66mm long was fabricated on Y211 substrate. A typical current limiting waveform was measured. When a voltage of 3V was applied, the fault current with a peak of 15A was limited to about 0.11A.

The Active Superconducting Current Controller (ASCC) is a new type of Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCL) which can limit the fault current in different modes. It also has the particular abilities of compensating active and reactive powers for electrical networks. In this paper, it is confirmed that the performance of ASCC in different operating modes introduces a limiting impedance in series with the network which can even degrade the transient stability and the operation of the Over-Current Relays (OCR) employed in a power system. In addition, the model of a three-phase ASCC is simulated, and the effect of descriptive modes on the current limiting level is investigated. For the transient stability analysis, a single machine-infinite bus system is tested, and the effect of operation modes is studied based on an equal area criterion obtaining the critical time and the critical angle. Modifying the setting parameters of OCR such as time dial and pick-up current, the protective coordination is also studied in different operating modes.

In case of a line-to-ground fault at transmission lines, a portion of fault current will flow into the earth through the footings of the faulted tower causing electrical potential rise nearby the faulted tower footings. In this situation, any buried pipelines or structures nearby the faulted tower can be exposed to the electrical stress by earth potential rise. Although many research works has been conducted on this phenomena, there has been no clear answer of the required separation distance between tower footings and neary buried pipeline because of its dependancy on the soil electrical charactersics of the concerned area and the faulted system.

Floor location of adjacent buildings may be different in terms of height elevation, and thus, the slab may hit on the columns of adjacent insufficiently separated buildings during severe ground motions. Such impacts, often referred to as mid-column pounding, can be catastrophic. Substantial pounding damage or even total collapse of structures was often observed in large amount of adjacent low rise buildings. The research on the mid-column pounding between low rise buildings is in urgency need. In present study, the responses of two adjacent low rise buildings with unequal heights and different dynamic properties have been analyzed. Parametric studies have also been conducted to assess the influence of story height difference, gap distance and input direction of ground motion on the effect of structural pounding response. Another emphasis of this study is to analyze the near-fault effect, which is important for the structures located in the near-fault area. The analysis results show that collisions exhibit significant influence on the local shear force response of the column suffering impact. Because of asymmetric configuration of systems, the structural seismic behavior is distinct by varying the incident directions of the ground motions. Results also show that near-fault earthquakes induced ground motions can cause more significant effect on the pounding responses.

Nowadays, according to rapid development of computing environments, information processing and analysis system are very interesting research area. As a viewpoint of data preparation-processing-analysis in knowledge technology, the goal of automated information system is to satisfy high reliability and confidence and to minimize of human-administrator intervention. In addition, we expect the system which can deal with problem and abnormal error effectively as a fault detection and fault tolerance. In this paper, we design a monitoring system as follows. A productive monitoring information from various systems has unstructured forms and characteristics and crawls informative data by conditions and gathering rules. For representing of monitering information which requested by administrator, running-status can be able to check dynamically and systematic like connection/closed status in real-time. Our proposed system can easily correct and processing for monitoring information from various type of server and support to make objective judgement and analysis of administrator under operative target of information system. We implement semi-realtime monitering system using AJAX technology for dynamic browsing of web information and information processing using XML and XPATH. We apply our system to SMS server for checking running status and the system shows that has high utility and reliability.
