Long-term climate and surface environment changes can influence the geological subsurface environment evolution. In this context, a fluid flow pathway developing and connection possibility can be increased between the near-surface zone and deep depth underground. Thus, it is necessary to identify and prepare for the overall fluid flow at the entire geological system to minimize uncertainty on the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal safety. The fluid flow outside the subsurface environment is initially penetrated through the surface and then the unsaturated area. Thus, the previously proved reports, POSIVA in Finland, suggested that sequential research about the fluid infiltration experiment (INEX) and the investigation is necessary. Characterizing the unsaturated zone can help predict changes and ensure the safety of SNFs according to geological long-term evolution. For example, the INEX test was conducted at the upper part of ONKALO, about 50 to 100 m depth, to understand the geochemical evolution of the groundwater through the unsaturated zone, to evaluate the main flow of groundwater that can approach the SNF disposal reservoir, and to estimate the decreasing progress of the buffering capacity along the pathway through the deep geological disposal. In the present study, a preliminary test was performed in the UNsaturated-zone In-situ Test (UNIT) facility near the KAERI underground research tunnel to design and establish a methodology for infiltration experiments consistent with the regional characteristics. The results represented the methodological application is possible for characterizing unsaturated-zone to perform infiltration experiments. The scale of the experiment will be expanded sequentially, and continuous research will be conducted for the next application.

목적 : 서로 다른 디자인의 시표를 사용하여 자각적 원거리 수평 주시시차 교정 값을 비교 및 분석해 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 35명의 시각적 불편함(설문지 기준)을 느끼는 대상자를 선정하였다. MKH 차트, 말렛 유닛, 중심융합자 극점이 있는 차트프로젝터 십자시표를 사용하여 원거리 주시시차 교정 값을 측정하고, 주시시차 교정 전후의 최소 입체각을 측정하였다. 결과 : MKH 차트, 말렛 유닛, 중심융합자극점이 있는 차트프로젝터 십자시표에서 자각적으로 측정된 원거리 수평 주시시차 교정 값은 각각 0.99±0.50 △, 0.31±0.30 △, 0.52±0.46 △으로 측정되었고 유의한 차이가 있었다(F=23.002, p=0.000). 주시시차 교정 전 최소입체각은 85.43±54.68″이었다. MKH 차트, 말렛 유닛, 중심 융합자극점이 있는 차트프로젝터 십자시표를 사용한 주시시차 교정 후에 증가된 최소입체각은 각각 58.00±40.2 1″(t=4.280, p=0.000), 75.14±54.09″(t=3.111, p=0.000), 69.14±50.66″(t=2.503, p=0.000)로 측정되었고 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론 : 시표의 디자인에 따른 주시시차 교정 값에는 유의한 차이가 있었고, 주시시차 교정 후의 최소입체각은 모든 시표에서 유의하게 향상되었다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 디자인의 3가지 시표 중 MKH 차트를 통해 주시시차를 교정한 후 최소입체각이 가장 많이 향상되었다.

Background: The active knee extension (AKE) test commonly used to assess the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. Many researchers have tested the reliability of the AKE test; however, no published studies have examined the intrarater and interrater reliability of the AKE test using a PBU. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine the intrarater and interrater reliability of the AKE test performed with a pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) on healthy subjects. Methods: Sixteen healthy male participants volunteered and gave informed consent to participate in this study. Two raters conducted AKE tests independently with a PBU. Each knee was measured twice, and the AKE testing was repeated one week after the first round of testing. Results: The interrater reliability’s intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2,1) were .887∼.986 for the right knees and .915∼.988 for the left knees. In addition, the intrarater (test-retest) reliability (ICC3,1) values ranged between .820∼.915 and .820∼.884 for Raters 1 and 2, respectively. The values for the standard error of mesurement were low for all tests (.81∼2.97˚); the calculated minimum detectable change was 2.24∼8.21˚. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the AKE test performed with a PBU had excellent interrater and intrarater reliability for assessing hamstring flexibility in healthy young males.

대기부품은 대기기간 중에 우발적 고장이 발생할 수 있으며(type I failure), 해당상황이 장기간 방치되는 것을 방지하기 위해 주기적인 검사를 하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 검사가 대기기간 중 발생한 고장을 확인할 수 있게 하는 반면, 검사를 시작할 때 대기하던 부품에 부하를 가하는 과정에서 고장을 유발할 가능성이 존재하며(type Ⅱ failure), 검사시간동안 대기부품을 작동시킴으로써 열화에 의한 고장발생(type Ⅲ failure)의 가능

This paper derives the limiting availability of the standby unit by considering three types of failures. Assuming the standby unit can fail during the standby period (type Ⅰ failure), the periodic test is employed to check the unit condition. Although the periodic test is capable of detecting failures during the standby period, it can cause test-induced failures for the standby unit at the start of the test (type Ⅱ failure). Also the aging process of the standby unit during the test period needs to be taken into account (type Ⅲ failure), which is not treated in the existing studies. To identify relationships between the optimal periodic test interval an various failure characteristics of the standby unit. several experiment are performed assuming Weibull distribution as an operating time distribution of the standby unit. The result of this paper can be applied to determine an appropriate test interval for the standby unit in priority redundant system to enure higher reliability characteristics.

In this study, a new type of the embedded column connection was proposed, and its flexural behavior was evaluated through a series of experimental study. Four full scale specimens for the proposed connections were constructed and tested. From the results, it was found that the flexural stiffness of the proposed connection was higher than that of the semi-rigid connection for all test specimens, and 200mm of embedment length was proper for the given test specimens in this study.

In case of Enlargement method using Post-installed Anchors, mechanical expansion anchors were resisting tensile and shear force of Modular extension structure in exist building. The purpose of this study is to investigate cyclic load shear strength of Post-installed Anchor on 16 MPa low strength Concrete under less than standard effective depth(hef). The fracture pattern of the specimens in cyclic load shear tests was steel failure of anchor and the strength showed 19% less than that of the design strength on test anchor manufacturer.
