$A^*$ algorithm is a global path generation algorithm, and typically create a path using only the distance information. Therefore along the path, a moving vehicle is usually not be considered by driving characteristics. Deceleration at the corner is one of the driving characteristics of the vehicle. In this paper, considering this characteristic, a new evaluation function based path algorithm is proposed to decrease the number of driving path corner, in order to reduce the driving cost, such as driving time, fuel consumption and so on. Also the potential field method is applied for driving of UGV, which is robust against static and dynamic obstacle environment during following the generated path of the mobile robot under. The driving time and path following test was occurred by experiments based on a pseudo UGV, mobile robot in downscaled UGV's maximum and driving speed in corner. The experiment results were confirmed that the driving time by the proposed algorithm was decreased comparing with the results from $A^*$ algorithm.

During the construction of externally prestressed 7-span continuous segmental bridge, cracks beyond permissible limit were found at anchor zone of expansion joint segment. To eliminate this problem, tension side of diaphragm was prestressed by post-tensioning bars in vertical and horizontal direction. To investigate this remedy is acceptable, stresses of reinforcing bars and concrete surface were measured for the real structure in the field. The measurement was performed through each step of prestressing sequence during construction. Also to investigage stresses induced by live load, static load test was performed and the results was analyzed. In this paper it will be presented the procedure and results for this experimental study along with comparison with analytical study.

The total recovery ratio test on undisturbed clay soil sampling in the field and the finite element method analysis on modified static state of penetration process were conducted for the purpose of deciding the most important factor among the shape factors of thin wall tube. The adhesion between tube wall and soil did not decrease although internal clearance ratio of tube increased within the little change of tube area ratio. The most part of disturbance occurred in the tip of sampling tube during the penetration. The longitudinal displacement was larger than the lateral displacement because soil was confined laterally after being entered into tube, and also the longitudinal displacement was larger in the upper part of the sample tube than in the lower part.

On this study, a 50-years-old earth dam was measured by the static method of GPS for deformation monitoring. The reference network was measured by the vector between points in twice times and the monitored points were observed in four times at test field, i.e. an embankment which was restored by mortar, In addition, gross errors in the measurement were estimated and eliminated by data snooping method and random errors were adjusted by least square method. Finally, the amount of displacement was estimated from variance-covariance matrix. Also, precision of points were showed by the confidence ellipse(95%), and the amount of displacement was figured.

This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique for reconstruction of wind pressure field as applied to a cylindrical shell roof based on simultaneously measured wind pressure data. The influence of wind loading mode truncation on the statistics of dynamic pressures and wind load effects are investigated. The results showed that truncation of higher wind loading modes can have more noticeable influence on the maximum and minimum pressures that the standard derivation (STD) values. The truncation primarily affects the high-frequency content of the pressures. Estimation of background response using wind loading modes is more effective than the use of traditional structural modal analysis.

교류 송전선로를 통해 전송되는 전력은 선로의 임피던스, 송/수전단 전압의 크기와 위상에 대해 함수관계를 갖는다. 따라서 이 세 독립 변수를 신속 정확하게 제어할 수 있다면 송전선로를 통해 전송되는 전력을 융통성 있게 조정할 수 있고, 결과적으로 최대전력의 전송, 계통의 과도안정도 증가 그리고 계통의 저주파공진 감쇄 등의 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 최근 대용량 GTO(Gate-Turn-Off) 다리이스터 개발에 힘입어 초대현 전압원 인버터의 제작이 가능해지면서, 이를 이용해 위의 세 변수를 제어하는 연구가 미국과 일본에서 활발히 진행중에 있다. 현재 이들 국가에서는 이미 야지시험(field test)을 위해 초대형 무효전력 보상장치(static condensor)를 제작 완료 했거나 제작중에 있어, 앞으로 이 분야의 연구는 계속 가속화될 것으로 보인다[1,2,7,8]. 본 해설에서는 먼저 위의 세 변수를 제어하기 위해 이론적으로 어떠한 보상법이 가능한가 알아보고, 이 보상법이 최대전력 전송과 계통 성능에 어떠한 개선을 주는지 기술하며, 마지막으로 이 보상법을 실행하는데 전압원 인버터가 어떻게 사용될 수 있는지를 설명하고자 한다.

For the successful characterization of the fractured reservoir, it is inevitable to describe fracture properties more precisely. Although the deterministic features, of mega-trend faults can be relatively definite, the background features of minor fractures are not easily analysed in spite of the various data of these features. In this study, two different methods, statistical and fractal methods, are used to construct the minor fracture system over the entire field. After completing these tasks, with the identified deterministic features and background features, total fracture system for fractured reservoir is constructed and updated with the aid of dynamic data obtained from well test.

A new improved excitation control system for power plant synchronous generators has been developed by KEPRI (Korea Electric Power Research Institute). The reliability of the excitation system is increased by designing a dual channel automatic voltage regulator(AVR). Also the performance of the excitation system is improved by Self-Tuning adaptive Controller. A software package is developed for the excitation control system, and a field test is conducted to verify the system performance.

For health monitoring purpose usually the structure is instrumented with a large scale and multichannel measurement system. In case of highway bridges, operating vehicle could be utilized to reduce the number of measuring devices. First this paper presents a static damage detection algorithm of using operating vehicle load. The technique has been validated by finite element simulation and simple laboratory test. Next the paper presents an approach of using this technique to field application. Here operating vehicle load data has been used by instrumenting the bridge at single location. This approach gives an upper hand to other sophisticated global damage detection methods since it has the potential of reducing the measuring points and devices. It also avoids the application of artificial loading and interruption of any traffic flow.

This study presents the minimum spring stiffness of resilient track pad considering the safety of running train. A nonlinear static 3-D finite element is used for the modeling of railway superstructure, especially for the reflection of nonlinear resistance of rail fastening system. Moreover, ballast is considered as an elastic foundation. As the input load, eccentric wheel and lateral force are used and they are derived from ' Lateral-force/Wheel-load Estimation Equations '. Analysis results are compared with following two values : allowable lateral displacement of rail head (derived from the geometrical derailment evaluation of wheel/rail) and operation standard value (derived from the field test results of track).
