This paper provides FE and experimental validation of the defect assessment method for strength mismatched welded structures, resulting from the Brite Euram SINTAP (Structural Integrity Assessment Procedures for European Industry) project. This shows that the proposed method is conservative, and that the degree of conservatism is similar to that embedded in the methods for homogeneous structures. It provides confidence in the use of the proposed SINTAP method for assessing defective weld strength mismatched structures.

우리나라에서는 홍수로 매년 90여개 이상의 교량이 붕괴되고 있으며, 이러한 교량의 붕괴는 대부분 기초의 세굴에 기인하고 있다. 그동안 교량의 설계 및 유지관리 분야에서 세굴에 대한 교량의 건전성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 평가기법 개발에 관한 연구는 체계적으로 수행되지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 홍수 발생 후 교각의 세굴 건전성을 평가하기 위한 긴급점검기법으로써 세굴로 인한 교각의 고유진동수 변화를 이용하기 위한 동적특성 평가실험을 수행하였다. 세굴을 모의한 확대기초 교각 모형의 동적특성 평가 실험결과 교각의 1차 모드 고유진동수를 이용하여 기초의 세굴을 평가할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

본 논문에서는 주어진 상황에 맞추어 적절한 수준에서 건전성평가를 수행하기 위하여, 개정된 BSI PD 6493의 3단계 평가방법에 균열성장효과를 고려한 건전성 평가방법과 균열의 안정성장을 엄밀히 고려할 수 있는 안정성 평가방법(stability assessment method:SAM)과 더불어 소성 붕괴를 평가하는 극한하중해석을 고려한 건전성 평가방법을 정식화하였다. 또한 신뢰성이론 중 2차 모멘트방법을 사용하여, center cracked panel(CCP) 시편과 관통균열을 갖는 파이프에 대하여, 신뢰성해석에 의한 건전성 평가를 수행하였다. 신뢰성해석을 수행하는데 필요한 확률변수들의 통계적 특성은 지금까지 보고된 그들 변수들의 실험자료와 통계해석의 결과들을 이용하였다. 또 기존의 신뢰성해석에서 정확한 파괴확률을 구할 수 있는 Monte Carlo 방법을 사용하여, 본 논문의 유용성을 검토하였다.

Wall thinning of carbon steel pipe components due to Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is one of the most serious threats to the integrity of steam cycle piping systems in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). Since the mid-1990s, secondary side piping systems in Korean NPPs have experienced wall thinning, leakages and ruptures caused by FAC. Korea Electric power Research Institute (KEPRI) and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., LTD. (KHNP) have conducted a study to develop the methodology for systematic pipe management and established the Korean Thinned Pipe Management Program (TPMP). To effectively maintain the integrity of piping system, FAC engineer should understand the criterions of the structural integrity evaluation and the safety margin assessment for the thinned pipe component. This paper describes the technical items of TPMP, and shows the example of the integrity evaluation and safety margin assessment for three thinned pipe component of a NPP.

This study presents meteorological data integrity to improve environmental quality assessment in Yongdam catchment. The study examines both extreme ranges of meteorological data measurements and data reliability which include maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, radiation, heat flux. There were some outliers and missing data from the measurements. In addition, the latent heat flux and sensible heat flux data were not reasonable and evapotranspiration data did not match at some points. The accuracy and consistency of data stored in a database for the study were secured from the data integrity. Users need to take caution when using meteorological data from the Yongdam catchment in the preparation of water resources planning, environmental impact assessment, and natural hazards analysis.

Pressure tubes are major component of nuclear reactor, but only selected samples are periodically examined due to numerous numbers of tubes. Current in-service inspection result show there is high probability of flaw existence at uninspected pressure tube. Probabilistic analysis is applied in this study for the integrity assessment of uninspected pressure tube. All the current integrity evaluations procedures are based on conventional deterministic approaches. So it is expected that the results obtained are too conservative to perform a rational evaluation of lifetime. More realistic failure criteria, based on FAD are also proposed for the probabilistic analysis. As a result of this study failure probabilities for various conditions are calculated, and examined application of FAD and LBB concept.

This study is intended to propose practical but systematic and rational approaches for proof load test and integrity assessment of segmental PC box-girder bridges. The proposed models cover the whole range of field tests and assessment of such as inspections, nondestructive tests, static and dynamic load tests, structural analysis, and integrity assessment for the evaluation of load carrying capacity, serviceability, and durability of PC box-girder bridges. They are applied to a newly constructed precast segmental PC box-girder bridge which is a part of the Seoul interior circuit elevated expressway.

Precast-cast insitu concrete bridge construction is widely practiced for small to medium span structures. These bridges consist of precast pre-stressed concrete beams of various cross-sections with a cast in-situ reinforced concrete slab. The connection between the beams and the slab is via shear links often included during the manufacturing process of the beams. This form of construction is attractive as it provides for standardisation, reduced formwork and construction time. The assessment of the integrity of shear connectors in existing bridges is a major challenge. A procedure for assessment of shear connectors based on vibration testing and finite element model updating is proposed. The technique is applied successfully to a scaled model bridge model and an existing bridge structure.

회전형 탐촉자(RPC)는 증기발생기 전열관의 결함 탐지 및 크기 측정 목적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 손상이 탐지된 전열관에 대한 건전성 평가는 비파괴검사에서 얻어진 열화의 크기 정보를 바탕으로 수행되기 때문에 검사기술의 성능은 전열관의 건전성 평가에 직접적으로 영향을 미치게 된다. 동일 전열관의 인접한 거리에 다중균열이 존재할 경우 검사 기술의 결함 분해능에 제약이 따를 수 있으며 그 영향이 클 경우 근접한 다중균열이 상대적으로 큰 단일균열로 평가될 수 있으므로 전열관의 구조건전성 평가에 오류를 유발할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 방전가공으로 균열을 모사한 인공결함에 대한 RPC 탐촉자의 결함 분해능을 관찰하고 전열관의 구조건전성 평가에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 동일 직선상에 놓인 다중균열은 매우 근접한 거리까지 개별균열 식별이 가능하여 건전성 평가에 미치는 영향이 없는 반면, 인접한 거리에 평행하게 놓인 균열의 경우는 RPC 탐촉자의 분해능이 낮아서 부정확한 결함 크기 정보가 얻어지므로 결함관의 파열압력 예측에 영향을 미칠 수 있다.

Purpose: The study was done to compare effects of two endotracheal tube (ET tube) fixation methods (rotated fixation versus conventional) on unplanned extubation and skin integrity for orally intubated patients in intensive care units. Methods: The research design was a non-equivalent control group with repeated measures design. Participants were 80 patients; 40 participants assigned to each group. ET tube for the experimental participants fixed with rotated method every morning. Unplanned extubation was assessed by bedside nurses using the unplanned extubation report form. Oral mucosa and facial skin integrity were assessed using oral assessment guide and facial skin integrity assessment guide at day 3, 7, 10 and 14. Results: There was no difference in the unplanned extubation rate between the two groups. Oral mucosa impairment scores for the rotated fixation method were significantly lower at day 7 (p=.044), 10 (p=.048) and day 14 (p=.037). Also facial skin integrity impairment scores for the same group were significantly lower at day 7 (p=.010), 10 (p=.003), and 14 (p=.002). Conclusion: Results of the study suggest that the rotated fixation method is effective for these patients, to prevent impairment of oral mucosa and facial skin integrity. Further research is needed to prevent unplanned extubation.
