When a slope failure or a debris flow occurs, a shear strength on failure plane becomes nearly zero and soil begins to flow like a non-cohesive liquid. A consistency of cohesive soils changes as a water content increases. Even a cohesive soil existing at liquid limit state has a small amount of shear strength. In this study, a water content, at which a shear strength of cohesive soils is zero and then cohesive soils will start to flow, was proposed. Three types of clays (kaolinite, bentonite and kaolinite (50%)+bentonite (50%)) were mixed with three different solutions (distilled water, sea water and microbial solution) at liquid limit state and then their water contents were increased step by step. Then, their undrained shear strength was measured using a portable vane shear device called Torvane. The ranges of undrained shear strength at liquid and plastic limits are 3.6-9.2 kPa and 24-45 kPa, respectively. On the other hand, the water content that corresponds to the value of the undrained shear strength changing most rapidly is called flow water content. The flow limit refers to the water content when undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is zero. In order to investigate the relationship between liquid limit and flow limit, the cohesive index was defined as a value of the difference between flow limit and liquid limit. The new plasticity index was defined as the value of difference between flow limit and plastic limit. The new liquidity index was also defined using flow limit. The values of flow limit are 1.5-2 times higher than those of liquid limit. At the same time, the values of new plasticity index are 2-5.5 times higher than those of original plasticity index.

The self-organizing map (SOM) is a unsupervised learning method projecting high-dimensional data into low-dimensional nodes. It can visualize data in 2 or 3 dimensional space using the nodes and it is available to explore characteristics of data through the nodes. To understand the structure of data, cluster analysis is often used for nodes obtained from SOM. In cluster analysis, the optimal number of clusters is one of important issues. To help to determine it, various cluster validity indexes have been developed and they can be applied to clustering outcomes for nodes from SOM. However, while SOM has an advantage in that it reflects the topological properties of original data in the low-dimensional space, these indexes do not consider it. Thus, we propose a new cluster validity index for SOM based on connectivity between nodes which considers topological properties of data. The performance of the proposed index is evaluated through simulations and it is compared with various existing cluster validity indexes.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 6개 지점(강릉, 서울, 인천, 대구, 부산, 목포)에서 관측한 약 100년간(1912-2009년, 단 1950-1953년 제외)의 일최고/최저기온 및 일강수 자료를 이용하여 각 지점별로 다양한 기후지수를 산출하고 이들의 변화를 살펴보았다. 기온 관련 기후지수로는 여름일수, 영하일수, 결빙일수, 서리일수, 열대야일수, 냉방도일, 난방도일, 일교차, 식물성장일수, 일최고/최저기온의 월최고값 및 월최저값 등을 분석하였으며, 강수 관련 기후지수로 강수량, 강수일수, 강수강도, 호우일수, 미우일수, 최고 일강수 및 5일 연속 최고 강수량, 연속건조일수 및 연속습윤일수, 극한 강수일의 강수량 등을 계산하였다. 다음은 6개 지점의 기후지수를 평균한 결과이다. 6개 지점 모두에서 최저기온의 상승률이 최고기온의 상승률보다 크게 나타남에 따라 분석기간 동안 일교차는 점차 줄어드는 경향($-0.12^{\circ}C$/10년)을 보였고, 최저기온에 근거한 기후지수인 서리일수 (최저기온이 $-5^{\circ}C$ 미만, -2.6일/10년), 영하일수(최고기온이 $0^{\circ}C$ 미만, -1.0일/10년) 등의 감소와 평균기온의 상승에 따른 성장계절길이(growing season length)의 증가(+3.53일/10년)가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 일강수와 관련된 주요변화로 미우일수(일강수량이 1 $mmday^{-1}$ 이하)는 감소(-0.75일/10년)했지만, 10 $mmday^{-1}$ (+0.32일/10년), 20 $mmday^{-1}$ (+0.27일/10년), 30 $mmday^{-1}$ (+0.25일/10년), 50 $mmday^{-1}$ (+0.17일/10년), 80 $mmday^{-1}$(+0.09일/10년) 이상 내린 강수일수는 증가하였다. 강수강도(강수량이 1 $mmday^{-1}$ 이상일 때의 강수량과 강수일수 기준)는 0.23 $mmday^{-1}$/10년로 증가했다.

본 논문은 내구성(durability) 및 내오염성(soiling resistance)이 매우 중요한 성질로 인식되는 유통지의 평가방법을 제안하는데 목적이 있다. 즉, 종이의 내구성 및 내오염성의 측정 및 평가에 있어서, 재현성 및 반복성이 우수하고 합리적인 측정방법 및 평가방법을 구축하는데 목적이 있다. 연구목적에 적합한 시료의 준비, 오염물의 조성, 실험장치 및 실험후의 타당한 평가방법 등에 대하여 선행 연구결과를 고찰하였다. 기존 방법의 수정과 새로운 장치의 제작 및 평가방법의 설정을 통해 재현성이 높은 평가방법을 정립하고자 하였다. 유통지의 내구성을 평가하는 방법으로는 습식, 내오염성, 건식 내오염성, 구김기공도, 내세탁성, 잉크 내마모도 등의 항목을 측정하여 개별항목으로 내구성을 가늠하거나, 몇가지항목에 각기 다른 가중치를 부여하여 구한 내구성 지수(durability index)의 개념으로 내구성을 평가하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 내구성에 영향하는 요소로 강도적 성질요소(strength property value)와 내오염성 요소(artificial soiling value)로 구분하였다. 강도적 성질요소에서는 전통적으로 내구성과 관련이 깊은 것으로 인식되어 온 내절도(folding endurance), 인열강도(tearing resistance) 및 구김기공도(crumpled porosity)를 인쇄하기 전 용지상태에서 측정하여 4:4:2의 가중치를 주어 구하였다. 내오염성 요소는 국가별 기후특성에 따라 연평균 상대습도가 60% 이상인 경우 인쇄 시료를 대상으로하여 습식 내오염성, 건식 내오염성 및 내석검성을 평가한 후 6:3:1의 가중치를 주어 구하였다. 또한 연평균 60% 미만인 국가의 경우 3:6:1의 가중치를 부여하였다. 이렇게 구해진 강도적 성질요소와 내오염성 요소에 있어 강도적 성질요소는 궁극적으로 내오염성 요소에 영향하기 때문에 3:7의 비율로 가중치를 부여하여 최종적으로 내구성 지수를 구하였다. 이때의 점수가 60점 이상이면 내구성 용지로 정의하였다. 본 논문에서는 현장실험을 통하여 시제품을 제조하였다. 상기 설명된 방법으로 내구성 지수를 구한 결과, 일반 유통지 제조방법으로 제조한 경우 내구성 지수가 약 45점이었다. 반면, 새로 개발된 방법에 의한 고내구성용지(durability paper)의 경우 70점 이상을 나타내어 내구성이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Sediment abrasion in rivers is caused by the interaction between bedrock channel bed and sediment particles transported through the river. Abrasion rate of sediment particles in rivers is controlled by two major factors; Sediment transport conditions including hydraulic conditions form the erosive forces and physical and chemical strengths of the particles form a resistance force against abrasion and other erosional processes. Physical experiments were performed to find the role of each variable on sediment abrasion process. Total 266 sediment particles were used in this experiment. All sediment particles were divided into 11 independent sediment groups with sediment particle size and sediment loads. Each sediment groups were abraded in tumbling mill for up to 8 hours. Changes in weight were recorded by run and total: 2,128 cases of abrasion rate were recoded. Physical strength of rock particles was measured with point load strength index. It is found that sediment abrasion rate has a negative functional relationship point load strength index ($I_{a(50)}$) ($R^2=0.22$). It was suggested that physical strength of sediment particles set the "maximum possible abrasion rate'. As sediment flux increases, abrasion rates of sediment particles with similar point load strength index were changed. It could be concluded that not only physical characteristics of sediment particles, but also sediment transport conditions control sediment abrasion rates.

The physical and mechanical properties of red shale and black shale exposed in the Daegu area were investigated in tests conducted to determine unit weight, absorption ratio, porosity, ultrasonic velocity, unconfined compressive strength, point load strength, slake durability index, and deterioration characteristics. XRD, XRF, and SEM analyses were also performed on the shale specimens. While the unit weights of the two shales were similar, the absorption ratio and porosity were higher in the red shale than in the black shale. Despite the higher porosity of the red shale, the ultrasonic velocity, compressive strength, and point load strength were higher in the red shale, which is an unexpected result that may be due to the presence of fine laminations in the black shale. The deterioration rate, as determined from the point load strength and the slake durability index, increased with increasing immersion time and with the acidity of the immersion liquid. The deterioration rate was higher for the red shale than for the black shale because of the higher porosity of the former.

Relying on the interaction indices - dominance index, relative strength index and entropy index, this paper analyzes the structural features of urban network in the Seoul metropolitan area with the flows of commuting, business, and freight. Analytical results show that the Seoul metropolitan urban system is vertical, size-dependent, one-way, and the highest city-dominant network rather than horizontal, size-neutral, two-way, complementary one. The network of freight flow is a little bit more symmetrical than the networks of commuting and business. However, the interaction with Seoul is still determinant in all aspects of hierarchical structure, relative strength, and symmetry of flow.

This paper presents the appropriateness for using high strength reinforcement according to the use of high strength concrete. Nine flexural tests were conducted on full-scale beam specimens according to the concrete strength, reinforcement strength and reinforcement ratio as main variable. The structural behavior was analyzed due to the flexural strength, stress-strain curve, deflections at yielding and fracture point, crack appearance and ductility factor. The member with high-strength reinforcements showed large deflection at yielding point and this was analyzed as a main cause to decrease the ductility factor. Structural behavior after yielding point, however, showed similarity to behavior of members with normal strength reinforcements of same stiffness. It was found that in the case of using reinforcements of $5500kgf/cm^2$ strength, the combination with concrete of $800kgf/cm^2$ strength demonstrated the great appropriateness which can increase the flexural capacity without any reduction of maximum reinforcement ratio.

In 2017, the ratio of the number of victims and deaths in the construction industry was the highest with 25.2% and 29.6%, respectively. Especially, as safety accidents at construction sites continue to increase, the economic loss is greatly increased too. Therefore, in order to prevent safety accidents in the construction work, the safety risk assessment index by type of construction was developed, and the main results of this study are as follows. First, 17 factors related to safety accidents at construction sites were derived through survey and interview survey, and this study suggested 9 items(process, type of construction, progress rate, contract amount, number of floors, safety education, working days and weather) throughout the expert advisory meeting. Second, the risk assessment index for safety accidents was developed based on the ratio and intensity of safety accidents. Third, to verify the risk assessment model, the construction safety risk assessment index by type of construction was derived by surveying and analyzing the statistics of the construction accident. In addition, the risk strength was calculated by dividing human damage caused by construction safety accidents into those killed and injured. The risk assessment index based on the frequency and intensity of safety accidents by type of construction is expected to be utilized as basic data when assessing the risk of similar projects in the future.
