This study was to investigate the effect of the horse grazing intensity on the vegetation of the S. quelpaertensis, and the physiological changes of the horse. This experiment was conducted at the community of the S. quelpaertensis (altitude of 550m) with the grazing intensity of 1.0AU(500kg), 1.5AU(750kg) and 2.0AU(1,000kg) at 30m × 30m for one week, and then the growth characteristics of the S. quelpaertensis, the changes of the vegetation, the damages on trees and the changes in the physiological characteristics of the horses was investigated and compared before and after the horse grazing. As the results, the 2.0AU grazing land showed that the culm number had the inverse correlation (r=-0.902, P<0.01) to the other lands and the species diversity index of lower-level vegetation showed the correlation (r=0.773, P<0.01) as increasing the grazing intensity.

The effects of chopped kenaf fiber concentration on mechanical property of polypropylene (PP) composite are investigated. The addition of kenaf increased the tensile strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, specific gravity, and HDT, while decreased the elongation%, flexural strength, and melt flow index. The increase of mechanical properties is due to increased surface area contacting between fiber and polymer matrix and fiber-fiber interaction. Volatile extractives in the kenaf seemed to decrease the interfacial adhesion between kenaf surface and PP.

A series of laboratory tests (physical and mechanical index and engineering design) were conducted on undisturbed granite soils of CW and RS weathering grades in Korea. From these testes it can be concluded that most of physical and mechanical index values are very sensitive to change in weathering grade from CW to RS. Engineering design tests indicate that the unconfined compressive strength and the shear strength parameters are significantly reduced and that the soil becomes ductile and plastic with increasing weathering and saturation. It was found that weathered granite soils have the special characteristics when water saturated: (i) they significantly lose their shear strength(especially cohesion) and unconfined compressive strength, (ii) they are fragile and their grains break down in water as observed in grain size analysis.

고지 사용율을 증가시킴으로써 원가 절감을 모색하고 있는 국내 신문용지 생산업체에서 는 보류도와 탈수성 저하에 따른 생산성 악화가 발생하고 있을 뿐 아니라 제품의 강도 및 인쇄적성 저하라는 문제를 극복하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 또 신문용지 생산공정의 수질이 악화됨에 따라서 사용되는 화학첨가제의 효능이 크게 감소하는 문제를 지니고 있다. 적합한 양성전분과 이러한 문제를 종합적으로 해결하기 위한 방안으로 신문용지 생산에 이의 적용기술을 모색하였다. 전기전도도가 4000 $\mu\textrm{s}$/cm인 신문용지 지료를 이용하여 DS 0.03인 저치환 양성 전분의 보류도 증가효과를 평가한 결과 양성전분을 사용하지 않은 경우에 비하여 보류도 증가율이 6 6%로 낮게 나타났으나, DS 0.06인 전분은 보류도 증가율이 21%로 향상효과가 높게 나타났 다. 또 양성전분의 치환도가 증가할수록 인장지수, 내부결합강도, 표면강도 향상 효과도 증 가되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 가교 처리를 실시한 치환도 0.08 및 0.1의 습식양성전분의 경우에는 미세분 보류도, 여수도, 탁도 등에 큰 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 경우 보류도가 각 확인하였으며,이 건식방법으로 제조된 치환도 0.08 빛 0.15인 양성 전분을 0.5% 첨가할 각 16%, 21% 증가되어 적은 첨가량에서도 보류향상 효과가 높다는 것을 러한 효과는 여수도 및 양이온 요구량 측정을 통하여 재확인되었다. 저치환 양성전분의 성능을 개선시키기 위한 방법으로서 비이온성 천연고분자를 활용하 는 방안을 검토한 결과 비이온성 천연고분자를 병용함에 따라 보류도 증가율이 탁월하게 개 선되었으며, 인장지수, 내부결합강도, 표면강도 등에서도 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Purpose : To derive the most appropriate factors by considering the effects of the major factors when applied to the optimization algorithm, thereby aiding the effective designing of a ideal treatment plan. Materials and Methods : The eclipse treatment planning system(Eclipse 10.0, Varian, USA) was used in this study. The PBC (Pencil Beam Convolution) algorithm was used for dose calculation, and the DVO (Dose Volume Optimizer 10.0.28) Optimization algorithm was used for intensity modulated radiation therapy. The experimental group consists of patients receiving intensity modulated radiation therapy for the head and neck cancer and dose prescription to two planned target volume was 2.2 Gy and 2.0 Gy simultaneously. Treatment plan was done with inverse dose calculation methods utilizing 6 MV beam and 7 fields. The optimal algorithm parameter of the established plan was selected based on volume dose-priority(Constrain), dose fluence smooth value and the impact of the treatment plan was analyzed according to the variation of each factors. Volume dose-priority determines the reference conditions and the optimization process was carried out under the condition using same ratio, but different absolute values. We evaluated the surrounding normal organs of treatment volume according to the changing conditions of the absolute values of the volume dose-priority. Dose fluence smooth value was applied by simply changing the reference conditions (absolute value) and by changing the related volume dose-priority. The treatment plan was evaluated using Conformal Index, Paddick's Conformal Index, Homogeneity Index and the average dose of each organs. Results : When the volume dose-priority values were directly proportioned by changing the absolute values, the CI values were found to be different. However PCI was $1.299{\pm}0.006$ and HI was $1.095{\pm}0.004$ while D5%/D95% was $1.090{\pm}1.011$. The impact on the prescribed dose were similar. The average dose of parotid gland decreased to 67.4, 50.3, 51.2, 47.1 Gy when the absolute values of the volume dose-priority increased by 40,60,70,90. When the dose smooth strength from each treatment plan was increased, PCI value increased to $1.338{\pm}0.006$. Conclusion : The optimization algorithm was more influenced by the ratio of each condition than the absolute value of volume dose-priority. If the same ratio was maintained, similar treatment plan was established even if the absolute values were different. Volume dose-priority of the treatment volume should be more than 50% of the normal organ volume dose-priority in order to achieve a successful treatment plan. Dose fluence smooth value should increase or decrease proportional to the volume dose-priority. Volume dose-priority is not enough to satisfy the conditions when the absolute value are applied solely.

현대 강우관측 자료를 빈도분석할 때 나타나는 가장 큰 문제는 관측기간이 짧기 때문에 고빈도 확률강우량 추정이나 장기간의 경향성 예측시 신뢰성 부족하다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 현대 강우자료의 문제점를 보완하기 위한 방법으로 측우기 관측기록을 활용하기 위한 방안을 검토하였다. 빈도해석을 통한 확률강우량의 결정을 위해서는 연최대치 계열의 작성이 선행되어야 한다. 측우기 강우자료는 강우시작시점과 종료시점 그리고 그 사이의 강우량으로 구성된 펄스 형태로 기록되어 있기 때문에 이를 이용하여 빈도해석을 하려면 전통적인 빈도해석 방법과는 다르게 독립호우사상을 적절하게 정의하는 것이 필요하다. 독립호우사상에 대한 기존 연구결과에 기초하여 무강우지속기간 10시간을 기준으로 측우기 관측기록과 현대 관측기록으로부터 이를 추출한 후 총강우량과 강우강도 두 가지를 대상으로 이변량 지수분포를 적용하였다. 그리고 각 호우사상의 재현기간을 산정하고, 연도별로 최대 재현기간을 가지는 호우사상을 연최대 호우사상으로 결정하였다. 이변량 지수분포의 매개변수 산정시 전기간에 대해 매개변수를 산정하는 경우보다 연도별로 매개변수를 산정하는 경우가 강우발생의 변동양상 및 수문학적인 극한호우의 정의를 반영하기에 적합한 것으로 검토되었고 또한 그로 인해 얻어진 연최대 호우사상이 이변량 극치분포를 보다 잘 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 연도별 매개변수 추정결과를 우기해와 건기해로 나누어 살펴보면 우기해에는 강우강도가 재현기간 산정에서 상대적으로 영향이 크고, 건기해에는 총강우량과 관련된 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 연최대 호우사상의 변동성을 살펴보면 현대자료에서 강우지속기간은 점점 증가하고 강우강도는 감소하며 이에 따른 호우사상의 총강우량은 증가하는 특징을 보였다. 그러나 측우기 자료에서는 이러한 변화양상이 반복순환하는 것으로 나타났으며 이와 관련된 별도의 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 측우기 자료를 이용한 빈도해석의 선행작업으로서 연최대 호우사상 계열의 결정 과정을 살펴보았으며 이렇게 얻어진 연최대 호우사상은 현대자료와 어우러져 보다 신뢰성 높은 설계호우사상을 결정하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The evaluation of the reliable strength and deformation characteristics of weathered granite masses is very important for the design of geotechnical structure under working stress conditions. Various types of laboratory test such as triaxial compression test can be performed to determine the strength parameters. However, it is very difficult to obtain the representative undisturbed samples on the site and also the rock specimen cannot represent rock mass including discontinuities, fracture zone, etc. This study aims to investigate the strength and deformation characteristics of granite masses corresponding to its weathering and develop a practical strength parameter evaluation method using the results of PMT. To predict weathering intensity and strength parameters of the weathered granite masess in the field, various laboratory tests and in-situ tests including field triaxial test and PMT are carried out. Based on the results of weathering index tests, the classification method is proposed to identify the weathering degree in three groups for the weathered granite masses. Using the analytical method based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria and the cavity expansion theory, the strength parameters of rock masses were evaluated from the results of PMT. It shows that weathering intensity increases with decreasing the strength parameters exponentially. The strength parameters evaluated with the results of PM almost coincide with the results of field triaxial test.

The effects of binder content and PA content on the flexural, compressive and impact strengths, water absorption and frezzing and thawing of polymer concrete using mixed waste plastics are examined. As a result the flexural, compressive and impact strengths of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics tend to increase with increasing binder content and filler content, regardless of the PA content. The flexural, compressive and impact strengths of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics decrease with increasing PA content. The water absorption of the polymer concretes using mixed waste Plastics tend to decreased with increasing binder content, regardless of the PA content. The durability factor of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics tend to increased with increasing binder content. However, the durability factor of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics tend to decreased with increasing PA content.

A 5-20 cm thick shocrete has been routinely constructed for NATM tunneling method to stabilize and confine the excavated rock of tunnel construction site. A $40kg/m^3$ of steel fibers are usually mixed into such shotcrete but these steel fibers may not be evenly distributed depending on shotcrete machines, mixing ratios and excavated rock conditions. In this study, square column shotcrete-mimicked concrete specimens of $15cm{\times}15cm{\times}55cm$ were prepared with 5 equal layers and 5 or 20% cement ratio. The specimens were prepared with different reinforced-patterns: non-reinforced, middle layer-reinforced, 1, 3, and 5 layers-reinforced, or all layers reinforced. The specimens were air-cured for 7 days and tested for flexural strength. The influence of steel-fiber distribution on flexural strength and toughness of shotcrete-mimicked concrete specimens was investigated. In the case of a specimen with cement ratio of 20%, a flexural strength increased as a number of fiber-reinforced layer increased. The flexural strength of one-layer reinforced specimen showed 20% less than that of evenly fiber-distributed specimen. On the other hand, a specimen with cement ratio of 5% decreased as the number of fiber-reinforced layers increased. A toughness index increased as the number of fiber-reinforced layers increased, regardless of cement ratios. The toughness index of evenly fiber-distributed specimen showed 2-3 times as large as that of one-layer reinforced specimen.

The comparison of the numerical results with those measured by the experiment showed good agreement. The design of composite joint which is the weakest part in the composite structures has become a very important research area since the composite materials are widely used in the aircraft and machine structure. In this paper, the new composite key joints that minimize the fiber discontinuity and strength degradation of adherend were proposed and their failure loads were evaluated. The failure index and damage area method were used for the failure prediction of the composite key joint. From the tests, the failure load of the composite key joint was 93% larger than that of a mechanical joint and the key joint whose slot depth and edge length were 0.88mm and 20mm had the largest failure load. Also, the analytic failure modes by the failure index and damage area were compared with experimental failure modes.
