Abstract: A method is used for selecting a boundary sample. The method includes acquiring a deterioration trend of a new device by performing a deterioration acceleration treatment to the new device, acquiring deterioration trends of a plurality of repaired devices which have been repaired after long-term use by performing a deterioration acceleration treatment to the plurality of repaired devices, calculating an upper limit of deterioration of the repaired device based on the deterioration trend of the new device, and selecting a boundary sample indicating a limit state in which the device can be reused as a standard of reuse of the device by specifying a repaired device having the largest deterioration among the repaired devices having a deterioration not larger than the upper limit.

Abstract: A method for measuring a deflection amount of a columnar structure includes the following steps. The method includes placing a longitudinal direction of a columnar structure in a direction parallel to a ground to place the columnar structure on a support member that supports the columnar structure such that the columnar structure is rotatable around an axis in the longitudinal direction; determining that the columnar structure placed has stopped rotating under its own weight around the axis; and measuring, after the stop of the rotation is determined, measuring a distance in a vertical direction between a straight line connecting both ends in the longitudinal direction of the columnar structure and a curved line along a shape in the longitudinal direction of the columnar structure.

Abstract: A method is used for determining reusability. The method includes receiving image data of a boundary sample and repairing method data corresponding to the image data from a database using a terminal; outputting the image data of the boundary sample for each reuse form of the device and the repairing method data using an output device; and determining whether to repair and reuse a used device by comparing a state of the recovered device with the output image of the boundary sample.
