Background: Electrical socket outlets are used continuously until a failure occurs because they have no indication of manufacturing date or exchange specifications. For this reason, 659 electrical fires related to electrical socket outlets broke out in the Republic of Korea at 2018 only, an increase year on year. To reduce electrical fires from electrical socket outlets, it is necessary to perform an accelerated test and analyze the thermal, insulation resistance, and material properties of electrical socket outlets by installation years. Methods: Thermal characteristics were investigated by measured the temperature increase of electrical socket outlets classified according to year with variation of the current level. Insulation resistance characteristics was measured according to temperature for an electrical socket outlets by their years of use. Finally, to investigate the thermal and insulation resistance characteristics in relation to outlet aging, this study analyzed electrical socket outlets' conductor surface and content, insulator weight, and thermal deformation temperature. Results: Analysis showed, regarding the thermal characteristics, that electrical socket outlet temperature rose when the current value increased. Moreover, the longer the time that had elapsed since an accelerated test and installation, the higher the electrical socket outlet temperature was. With respect to the insulation resistance properties, the accelerated test (30 years) showed that insulation resistance decreased from 110 ℃. In relation to the installation year (30 years), insulation resistance decreased from 70 ℃, which is as much as 40 ℃ lower than the result found by the accelerated test. Regarding the material properties, the longer the elapsed time since installation, the rougher the surface of conductor contact point was, and cracks increased. Conclusion: The 30-year-old electrical socket outlet exceeded the allowable temperature which is 65 ℃ of the electrical contacts at 10 A, and the insulation resistance began to decrease at 70 ℃. It is necessary to manage electrical socket outlets that have been installed for a long time.

In this paper, we propose a design of CCTV enlcosure record management system based on blockchain. Since CCTV video records are transferred to the control center through enclosure, it is very important to manage the enclosure to prevent modulation and damage of the video records. Recently, a smart enclosure monitoring system with real-time remote monitoring and opening and closing state management functions is used to manage CCTV enclosures, but there is a limitation to securing the safety of CCTV video records. The proposed system detect modulated record and recover the record through hash value comparison by distributed stored record in the blockchain. In addition, the integrity verification API is provided to ensure the integrity of enclosure record received by the management server. In order to verify the effectiveness of the system, the integrity verification accuracy and elapsed time were measured through experiments. As a result, the integrity of enclosure record (accuracy: 100%) was confirmed, and it was confirmed that the elapsed time for verification (average: 73 ms) did not affect monitoring.

Finite element analysis is widely used to predict the structural stability and tooth contact performance of gears. This study focused on the effect of finite element modeling conditions of a spur gear on the simulation result and the model simplification. The gear body and teeth, teeth width, configuration of mesh, frictional coefficient, and simulation time interval (gear mesh cycle division) were selected for model simplification for gear analysis. The static transmission error during a single-gear mesh cycle was calculated to represent the performance of the gear, and the elapsed time was measured as a simplification factor. Contact stress distribution was also checked. The differences in maximum transmission error and elapsed time depending on the model simplification methods were analyzed. After all simplification methods were estimated, an optimal combination of the methods was defined, and the result was compared with that of the most detailed modeling methods.

To investigate the plants invasion process and dominant species in large-scale cutting slopes, slopes elapsed one year to thirteen years after construction had been selected in five counties. The obtained results are summarized as follows : The species of high appearance frequency were Alnus firma, Arundinella hirta, Miscanthus sinensi var. purpurascens, Erigeron cancdensis, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Oenothera odorata, Lactuca raddeana, Lactrca indica var. laciniata, Lespedeza bicolor, Youngia sonchifolia, Populus albaglandulosa, and so on. The biological type of identified vascular plants was $Ch-D_1-R_{5-e}$. In time, plant coverage was increased gradually and average of plant coverage was 1.17% in slopes which elapsed one year, 42.44% after six years, 56.67% after eight years, and 69.17% after ten years. The dominant species in the surveyed slopes were covered with Alnus firma, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Erigeron cancdensis, Miscanthus sinensi var. purpurascens, Arundinella hirta, Lactuca raddeana, Oenothera odorata, Boehmeria spicata, Kummerowia striata and Artemisia montana of the 59 species. The conditions of location in large-scale cutting slopes are hard to fix and germinate of seeds, and extend plant roots in the slope soil. Hence, the highly appearance species and dominance species of the area will make plant coverage quick and slope stable.

The discharge capacity of vertical drains installed in the field is reduced with time elapsed after installation due to deformation of drains and clogging effect. Discharge capacity of two types of vertical drains was analysed about three years after installation in the subsoil. Discharge capacity of two types of vertical drains were measured by small, middle, and large scale test apparatus. The results indicate that the discharge capacity of vertical drains after three years operation dramatically decreased compare to the initial discharge capacity.

The behavior of aerosos due to gravitational coagulation was studied experimentally and numerically. In experimental study, the geometric mean particel size increased as time elapsed in a vertical tube column, while the size decreased when the tube was set horizontally. The particle size distribution was observed to maintain the lognormal form during the coagulation process. Separately, numerical calculations were performed for studying the aerosol behavior under gravitational and Brownian coagulation using the moment method. By comparing the expeimented results with the numerical predictions, the governing mechanism of the aerosol behavior proved to be gravitational coagulation.

In this study, variation of electrochemical parameters and characteristics of lead immobilization due to phosphoric acid injection in soil were studied during electrokinetic remediation of lead contaminated soil. TCLP result showed about 100% of soil was satisfied TCLP regulation criteria. And injected ion from cathode reservoir by ionmigration was proportionate to concentration of phosphoric acid and elapsed time. Therefore, when removal is infeasible or not cost-effective, in situ immobilization method would be more effective.

In this paper, we described the basic elements(flowability, fillingability, elapsed time, pumpability, no-vibrating effects, and etc.) required for the application and quality control of the super flowing concrete (SFC) in construction site. Also, after investigating characteristics of SFC through various experiments, SFC were placed in the reaction wall of large scale structural laboratory in Deawoo Insititute of Construction Technology. As the result of this project, the developed SFC showed high flowability and self-filingability good enough for the requirement. Furthermore, quality control and assurance of the no-vibrating concrete in actual site was verified by various testing.
