This thesis is based on the research and experiment of the optimal efficiency generation of electric power. The research and experiment were conducted to search the optimal generation of electric power from a specific amount of solar energy from Photovoltaic Power System with a solar position tracker were used. The changes in the array angles and spacing of the PV Module were also taken into account as well. Here are the findings and the conclusions. First of all, based on experiment using the various anglers, the efficiency generation of electric power increased to a maximum of approximately $12{\sim}17$[%] more at the PV module inclination angle of 30[$^{\circ}$] than at the inclination angles of 20[$^{\circ}$] and 40[$^{\circ}$]. As a result, we have found that installing the PV module inclination at the angle of 30[$^{\circ}$] brought about the most efficient conversion effect of the Photovoltaic Power System. But, when the solar cell is installed on a roof or rooftop where snow builds up, it is the most appropriate to install the solar energy at an 35[$^{\circ}$] angle so that snow slides down and not build up on the module.

Infiltration and the rising level of groundwater caused by rainfall are a major cause of the landslide and sliding. In order to secure the safety factor of slope, the slope stabilization and reinforcement works are used to enhance consistency. Nailing, Slope Drainage method and the surface vegetation measures can be simultaneously applied in the Mass Nail method, which is also environmental friendly reinforcement method. To demonstrate the reinforcement effect of a strengthened slope by Mass Nail, the changes in water contents by rainfall were considered while performing Scale Model Test. As a result, safety factor of reinforced slope was about 1.4~2.3 times increased on the unstrength slope. In the case of increasing water content 10% to 22%, The maximum stress was reduced to 12%~24% at the average rate of 18% on the unstrength slope and the reinforced slope by the Mass Nail Method was reduced to 4%~23% at the average rate of 14%.

Experimental study for a submerged structure was conducted to protect coastal structures and shorelines. The rectangular submerged structure known as the most efficient shape among various submerged structures in the literature was fabricated at the nose of a rubble mound breakwater. The reflection coefficients and the run-up heights along the slope of a breakwater were measured for different significant wave heights and periods. It is found in this study that the reflection coefficient is affected more relatively by the significant wave period than the significant wave height and the run-up heights are reduced approximately 28% in terms of ${^{RU}}_{2%}$ and 26% in terms of ${^{RU}}_{33%}$, respectively, by the installation of a submerged structure inducing the interception and breaking of waves.

양표면은 무결점재를, 가운데 단판은 경사목리 및 목리방향의 할열을 가진 단판을 사용하여 제조한 3매 단판 적충재에 있어서 목리방향과 할열의 인장탄성계수 및 인장강도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한, 비파괴 시험 방법인 응력파 실험에 의하여 각단판의 탄성계수를 측정하고, 이들 단판의 탄성계수로부터 단판적층재의 탄성계수를 예측하여 실측치와 비교하였다. 응력파에 의해 예측된 탄성계수는 인장실험으로부터 얻어진 결과와 거의 일치하였으며 인장탄성계수와 인장강도간에도 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다($r^2$=0.681). 인장강도에 있어서는 가운데 단판 할열의 영향은 나타나지 않았으나 목리의 경우 경사각이 증가함에 따라 인장강도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

대수층내의 담수-염수 경계면의 위치와 기울기를 파악하는 것은 해안가의 지하수 개발을 위해 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 가로 140 cm, 세로 70 cm의 사각형 수조에 모래를 채운 모래염수조를 이용하여 포화된 다공질 매체에서 형성되는 담수-염수 경계면을 모의하였다. 다공질 매체의 입자크기에 따른 수리전도도, 해안가 지형의 지표경사, 해수의 염도에 대한 조건을 각기 달리하여 여러 실험조건에서 각 경우에 따라 형성되는 경계면의 형태를 모의하였고, 각 인자가 경계면의 형성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하였다. 각 조건에 따른 총 31가지의 실험을 수행하였으며, Glover 포텐셜 유도식을 이용한 염수침투 경계면을 비교하였다. 모형에서 측정된 염수침투 경계면은 위의 이론식들의 계산치와 유사한 양상을 보였으며, 경계면의 위치와 기울기는 수리전도도, 지표면경사, 염도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Although the government and local governments devote efforts to activate bicycles, they only access to the supply infrastructure such as bike lanes and the public bicycle rental service centers without considering the measures to overcome the geographical constraints of slope. Therefore, this study constructs bicyclist's energy consumption estimation model through experimental methods of slope gradient and heart rate measurement and suggest the bicycle route choice model which could minimize the energy by the slope gradient. After calculating the RMSE of the estimated energy consumption by applying this model to the simulation section, it is confirmed to be 41% better than the model which does not reflect slope gradient. The results of this study are expected to be applied to the bicycle infrastructure planning that considers both longitude and transverse of bike lanes and the algorithm of bicycle route guidance system in the future.

This paper presents a quasi-steady model for numerical simulations of reservoir sedimentation and reservoir flushing. The quasi-steady model is based on the assumption that the flow is steady with time-dependent stream morphology change. This is reasonable because stream morphology changes over a long period, while the flow changes rapidly. The proposed model is first applied to two laboratory experiments for reservoir sedimentation. The channel is shown to be adjusted to new sediment supply at the upstream by changing both the flow depth and slope. Simulated water surface and bed profiles compare favorably to measured data. The model is also applied to reservoir flushing. Good agreement between simulated and measured data is not obtained due to time variation of outflow generated to facilitate the flushing in the experiment. Finally, relationships for equilibrium flow depth and bed slope are proposed and tested through numerical experiments.

In general, the radiation stresses based on the linear wave theory are overestimated which result in the discrepancy between the computed results and laboratory data of mean water level in the surf zone. Oh (1995) estimated the mean water level by using Svendsen's radiation stress model (1984) and compared with the experimental data. In this study. the computed results showed good agreements with the experimental data in the case of small wave steepness. while the results were overestimated in the case of large wave steepness. In this paper. the dimensionless radiation stress proposed by Svendsen (1984) is expressed in terms of relative water depth at breaking point and deep water wave steepness. The computed results are compared with the results calculated by d linear wave theory, Stive's model (1984). Sawaragi et al's model (1984) based on the spectrum of breaking wave components. and published laboratory data. The computed results of the modified Svendsen's model arc favourably compared with the laboratory data.

World widely, the occurrences of earthquakes have been increased recently including to nations which earthquake often happen to like Japan. Taking into account that the earthquake acceleration at design was 0.154 g at the contigency level earthuake (CLE) with its geological condition, it resulted that this method must be the most efficient condition against the earthquake vibration to two lane cut-and cover tunnel. The correlations between the result of the shaking table test and its numerical analysis showed that the test data of the bending stress due to the earthquake vibration have been underestimated about 5 percents in case of the cut slope 1 : 0.6 and about 10 percent in case of the cut slope 1 : 1.2. However, on average, the results showed a similar tendency that the higher the height of the backfill of the EPS block was, the less the bending stress was.

Design analysis for underground spaces requires evaluating stability related to heading collapses. A failure mode is one of the critical factors in the conventional methods of stability evaluation. Identification of failure modes is, therefore, essential in securing safe construction. In this study failure modes at the tunnel heading in cohesionless soils are investigated using physical model tests for various tunnel depths and ground surface inclinations. Test results showed that the effect of depth and the inclination of ground surface on a failure mode are of significance. It is identified that, with an increase in depth, failure modes become localized in a region close to tunnel face. It is also known that an increase in the inclination of ground surface results in inclined an d wide failure modes. Numerical simulation of laboratory tests was performed, and shown that the numerical analysis is useful in identifying the heading failure modes, particularly for large underground spaces.
