This is a study on rectangular-shaped passive row piles in inclined sand-ground by model tests. The experiment controlled the angle of inclination of ground and induced the ground destruction. We also measured the behavior of row piles, by adjusting the shape, position and spacing of piles. As a result, we confirmed the earth pressure, the lateral resistance, and the effect of depressing on the ground variation working on passive pile. The effect of B-type pile of which the front width is wide is bigger than that of H-type pile of which the side width is wide. We can find out the failure angle of slope, the shared force of pile and soil by using the lateral resistance graph based on slope angle.

Sound propagation in a sloping sea bed ocean environment demonstrates ray curvature in a direction parallel to the shoreline. The theoretical analysis of this shows that an ensonified region and a shadow region are formed, and their spatial extents depend on the spatial coordinates of source and receiver, a sloping angle and sourece frequency. The purpose of this experimental study using a sloping sea bed model is to check the theoretical prediction as a part of an ongoing investigation in the ocean environment. The sloping sea bed model used in this experiment had an ideal pressure-release boundaries and a sloping angle of $220.5{\circ}$ A single frequency signal and an impulsive signal were used as omnidirectional point sources. The spatial acoustic field characteristics in the across slope direction were measured using the former and the frequency dependent field characteristics in a specific point were obtained using the latter. It has been found that the analysis for the spatial extent of shadow zone and the frequency dependent field characteristics in the across slope direction, has a good agreement with the theoretical solution.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 8 direction incline and rotation exercise on pain and dynamic balance in the patients with chronic low back pain(CLBP). 20 patients who were diagnosed with CLBP were included for the study. 10 patients(experimental group) were treated by modality{Hot Pack(H/P), Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation(TENS), Ultra Sound(U/S)} and then performed 8 direction incline and rotation exercise. The other 10 patients(control group) were only treated by modality. The therapeutic intervention was taken three times a week for 6 weeks. Dynamic balance was assessed by Star Excursion Balance Test(SEBT) and pain was assessed by Visual Analog Scale(VAS). VAS scores of both groups were decreased. However, the experimental group was more significantly decreased than the control group. The dynamic balance of both groups was significantly increased in anterior, posterior, medial, lateral direction. But experimental group was more significantly increased than the control group. In conclusion, 8 direction incline and rotation exercise was effective on pain and dynamic balance in CLPB.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of tunnel slope on critical velocity by using the model funnel of the 1/20 reduced-scale applying the Floods scaling law. the square liquid pool burners were used for methanol, acetone and n-heptane fires. tunnel. Tunnel slopes varied as five different degrees $0^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$, $4^{\circ}$, $6^{\circ}$ and $8^{\circ}$. The mass loss rate and the temperatures are measured by a load celt and K-type thermocouples for tunnel slope. Present study results in bigger the critical velocity than the research of Atikinson and Wu using the propane burner. Therefore, when estimating the critical velocity in slope tunnel, the variations of the heat release rate is an important factor. The reason is the ventilation velocity directly affects variation of heat release rate when slope tunnel fire occurred.

본 연구에서는 강우시 경사지 밭에서 발생하는 토양유실량을 저감하기 위하여 지표피복재의 유무와 강우강도를 달리하여 실외인공강우 실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 인공강우 실험은 경사도 28%와 각 시험포는 $5\times30m$의 크기로 strawmat+PAM+sawdust, control(bare), strawmat+PAM, strawmat+PAM+rice husks를 4개 조성하고, 각 시험포는 하단부에 강우유출수를 채취할 수 있는 설비(flume)를 설치하였다. 대조구 실험을 위하여 각 시험포에서 발생하는 직접유출량과 유사량을 비교 분석하였다. 시험포의 토양은 양질사토로 일반 고랭지 밭의 흙과 동일한 성질을 가지고 있는 토양을 사용하였고, 지표 피복처리는 straw mat, saw dust, rice husk 그리고 PAM 등 4개의 재료를 사용하였다. 인공강우 실험은 1차 10월 18일, 2차 10월 24일, 3차 10월 30일, 4차 11월 7일로 총 21일간 각각 약 1주일의 간격을 두고 실시하였으며 인공강우 시험기의 강우강도는 각 31.1 ~ 44.4 mm/hr로 모의하였다. 연구결과 시험포에서 발생한 유출량은 지표피복을 하지 않은 대조구 시험포보다 지표를 피복한 시험포에서 약 15.7 ~ 19%의 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 유사량은 대조구 시험포보다 약 93.1 ~ 99.3% 감소한 것으로 나타났으며, 유출량과 유사량은 straw mat+PAM+sawdust와 straw mat+PAM+rice husk를 적용한 시험포에서 저감효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 지표피복처리는 강우가 발생하였을 때 강우타격력의 감소와 유출수의 유속감소 그리고 침투능을 증가하는 역할을 하여 경사지, 농경지 및 공사현장에서 토양 유실을 저감하며, 하천이나 강으로 유입되는 탁수량의 저감에 큰 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Wave overtopping rate is one of the most important design parameters for coastal structures. In this study, the physical model tests for measuring the wave overtopping have been conducted with the foreshore slope in front of the seawall. The bottom seabed for the coastal road area was fabricated at the wave flume for two areas in the East sea areas. The wave overtopping rate was measured for various water depths and wave conditions in each coastal area. In particular, the impulsive wave conditions were compared with the previous research and the similar trends of wave overtopping was observed. It could be known that the effect of foreshore slope was significant and should be concerned for applying theses formula like EurOtop.

Drilled shafts are used increasingly as the foundations for many types of structures. However, very little knowledge of drilled shaft behavior under inclined load is available. In this study, a systematic experimental testing program was conducted to understand the undrained behavior of drilled shaft foundations under inclined loads. A semi-theoretical method of predicting the inclined capacity was developed through a parametric study of the variables such as shaft geometry and load inclination. Test parameters were chosen to be representative of those most frequently used in the electric utility industry. Short, rigid shafts with varying depth/diameter(D/B) ratios were addressed, and loading modes were investigated that includes exial uplift, inclined uplift, and inclined compression loads. Capacities were evaluated using the structural interaction formula and an equation developed from this experimental study. This new equation models the laboratory data well and is applicable for the limites field data.

The existing methods to estimate the maximum scour depth in the bend of steep gravel bed channel have been evaluated by the hydraulic movable-bed experiments. In the $90^{\circ}$ bend steep-slope channel paved with the fluvial gravels which are uniform in size and have a mean diameter of 43mm, the maximum scour depths due to the flow discharge and the gradient of bed slope have been investigated and compared with the scour depth computed from the equations. The local scour has occurred in conditions that the bed slope is steeper than 0.02 and the $F_r$ is greater than 0.95. Except Lacey's equation and Zeller's equation, the existing methods computing the maximum scour depth overestimate the maximum scour depth in the steep channel with the very coarse gravel bed. However, Lacey's equation with the bed material size and Zeller's equation considering the approach channel gradient and the bend angle may be relatively used to estimate the scour depth in bend of the steep gravel-bed river.

This study examined hydraulic characteristics on diagonal weirs with hydraulic experiment and presented a discharge coefficient equation utilizing multiple regression analysis for various design conditions. This study had a object in designing efficiently diagonal weirs utilizing this equation. Diagonal weirs maintained uniformly upstream water level than rectangular suppressed weirs. Also, as installation degrees of diagonal weirs increased, diagonal weirs increased maintenance effects of a upstream water level. Because of these characteristics, diagonal weirs were suitable to canal system. This study presented discharge coefficient equations for diagonal weirs utilizing simple regression analysis. But, these equations are some restrictions on degrees. Therefore, this study presented an equation to estimate directly discharge coefficients to various degrees utilizing multiple regression analysis. This equation was verified by making use of analyses of $R^2$, the sum of residuals, MAPE. Therefore, this equation is enable to make good use of a design in diagonal weirs.
