An unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function and a soil-water characteristic curve are the essential constitutive factors in studying unsaturated soils. In order to obtain the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function, prediction functions, which are based on the soil-water characteristic curve, have been used because it is difficult to measure the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function directly. In this study, a parameter estimation method using the flow pump technique is introduced to determine the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function. This method provides more accurate and independent solution than previous methods for the determination of the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function which is not subordinate to the soil-water characteristic curve or prediction models.

하천에서의 정확한 유량 산정은 하천의 설계 및 운영 유지에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 현재 하천의 유량 생산은 수위-유량관계곡선을 통하여 이루어지고 있다. 수위-유량관계곡선법은 측정된 수위와 유량자료의 관계를 바탕으로 홍수기 때의 유량을 회귀 추정법으로 예측하여 사용하는 방법이다. 비교적 간편하게, 특히 측정이 어려운 홍수기 때의 유량을 예측하여 사용할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있지만 수위와 유량만의 관계를 사용하므로 하천의 수리학적 특성을 반영하기 곤란하기 때문에 기본적으로 개선되어야 할 사항이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 하천유량을 예측하는 새로운 방법론의 하나로 KSCE에 기 게재된 Choo 등(2011)의 방법에 따라, 개수로에서 널리 사용되어 오고 있는 Manning식과 Chezy식을 활용하여 하천의 전체적인 특성을 잘 반영하는 특성조도계수 n과 특성Chezy계수 C를 사용하여 하천의 유량을 예측하였다. 실험실 직선수로에서 측정된 정류 자료와 객관성 있는 해외 하천 유량측정 자료를 사용하여 증명하였고 결정계수 0.8 정도 수준의 높은 정확성을 보여주는 성과를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 통해 하천의 수리학적 특성을 반영하면서도 간단하게 유량을 예측할 수 있는 방법으로 실무에서 간편하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

우리나라에서는 인공하천 중심의 개발에서 자연형 하천 복원으로 변화가 진행 중이다. 이에 따라 강우 발생에 따른 하도와 식생의 빈번한 변동이 발생하고 있다. 하천 내의 하도와 식생은 물과 유사의 상호작용을 바탕으로 형성되는 하상 형태로 하도와 식생의 변동은 건강한 하천을 나타내는 하나의 지표이다. 특히 하도와 식생은 하천의 흐름에 영향을 주고 다시 하천의 흐름은 하도와 식생에 영향을 주고받기 때문에 하천 흐름 특성에 핵심적인 요소로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 장기간의 모니터링이 필요하며 이에 따른 수위-유량관계를 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 유역에 위치한 완주군(용봉교)관측소를 대상으로 2017년부터 2018년까지 식생 및 하도 모니터링을 통한 수위-유량관계 변화를 분석하였다. 2017년에는 식생의 활착, 성장, 소멸에 따라 9개의 기간분리가 발생하였으며, 2018년에는 8개의 기간분리가 발생하였다. 2017년은 저수위1로 시작하여 성장 및 소멸을 반복하다 저수위3으로 회귀하였으며, 2018년은 2017년 저수위 3으로 시작하여 성장과 소멸을 반복하다 저수위9로 회귀하는 특성을 보여 주었다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 하천 내의 식생과 하도 변화에 대한 장기 모니터링과 흐름 특성이 변화하는 기간의 유량측정성과 확보를 통한 신뢰도 높은 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였고 이를 통해 생산된 유량자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Fatalities from traffic accidents constitute one of the major health issues as well as safety ones in Korea. It has been reported that traffic accident is affected by the combined effects of road. vehicle. and human factors. Over the past few decades, a number of studies have been conducted to find the impact of road geometric factors on traffic safety. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of road geometric factors on traffic safety on Korean expressways. Detailed geometric design data were available from Korea Highway Corporation. Five-year traffic accident data on Honam expressway were collected and analyzed. It was found that following geometric factors influence traffic safety on expressways : radius of curve, curve length, and length of straight section. Furthermore, the existence of I.C. turned out to have a significant impact on traffic safety level. Based on the data analysis several multiple regression forms that relate traffic accident frequencies and geometric factors on expressways are developed.

Since the skew beam element has two curvatures which are a curvature and a torsion, spatial behavior of curved beam which cannot be included in one plane can be anlayzed by emploting the skew beam element. The $C^{0}$-continuous skew beam element shows the stiffness locking phenomenon when full integration is employed. The locking phenomenpn is characterized by two typical phenomena ; one is the much smaller displacement thant the exact one and theother is the undelation phenomenon is stress distribution. In this paper, we examine how unmatched coefficient in the constrained energy brings about the locking by Reduced Minimization theory. We perform the numerical ones. These comparisons show that uniformly full integration(UFI), which employs full integration for the constrained energy, entails the locking phenomenon. But the use of uniformly reduced integration(URI) of selectively reduced integration(SRI), which employs reduced integration for constrained energy, does not produce the significant errors of displacements of the undulation phenomenon in stress distribution since they do not entails the locking, Additionally, the error due to the approximated parameters for describing the geometry of skew beam is examined.d.

A level-set finite-element method is employed to investigate the free surface flow of two conceptual fish passage designs. While one design has a right-angled entrance from the reservoir to the fish passage chute, the other has a curved-shaped entrance. The numerical results are validated with hydraulic experiments through comparison of the free surface location and the pressure distribution in the spillway. It is observed that the right-angled design yields a curved free surface and pressure distribution in the vicinity of the entrance due to large strains, whereas the curved-shaped design yields a smooth flow transition with small strains. The subatmospheirc pressure distributions near the spillway ogee crest for both designs exhibit similar flow patterns. It is concluded that the curved-shaped design is more favorable for fish passage because of the feature of a smooth flow transition with small strains.

Fiber element method in earthquake response analysis of bridges is used to represents a realistic flexural deformation according to nonlinear behavior of beam-column section. Nonlinear pseudo-static analysis of two column bent using fiber element is accomplished and failure mechanism of the plastic hinge region is studied. Load-displacement curve obtained by nonlinear pseudo-static analysis can be applicable to earthquake response analysis by capacity spectrum method. The nonlinear time history analysis of a full bridge model using fiber element experienced by the ground motion corresponding to the target response spectrum is accomplished. The result of time history analysis is similar to that of capacity spectrum method.

Curved beams are increasingly used in buildings, vehicles, ships, and aircraft, which has resulted in considerable effort towards developing an accurate method for analyzing the dynamic behavior of such structures. The stability behavior of elastic curved beams has been the subject of many investigations. Solutions to the relevant differential equations have traditionally been obtained by the standard finite difference or finite element methods. However, these techniques require a great deal of computer time for a large number of discrete nodes with conditions of complex geometry and loading. One efficient procedure for the solution of partial differential equations is the differential quadrature method (DQM). This method has been applied to many cases to overcome the difficulties of complex algorithms and high storage requirements for complex geometry and loading conditions. Out-of-plane buckling of curved beams with rotatory inertia were analyzed using DQM under uniformly distributed radial loads. Critical loads were calculated for the member with various parameter ratios, boundary conditions, and opening angles. The results were compared with exact results from other methods for available cases. The DQM used only a limited number of grid points and shows very good agreement with the exact results (less than 0.3% error). New results according to diverse variation are also suggested, which show important roles in the buckling behavior of curved beams and can be used for comparisons with other numerical solutions or experimental test data.

Numerical analysis using 3D finite element program (PLAXIS 3D) evaluated the interaction of soil - pile structure under dynamic surface loading. The dynamic p-y curve of the 1-g shaking table experiment by numerical analysis was calculated, and the parametric studies were presented by considering the pile-soil condition, the pile tip condition, and the loading condition. The frequency of 1.4 Hz is almost equal to the natural frequency of the pile - soil system. The p and y values of resonance phenomenon are significantly different from the results of other frequencies. The results can be summarized by a third order polynomial function representing the trend line in the p-y curve. In the case of a single pile, the shape of the dominant curve was found to be an ellipse by mathematical proof. The elliptic equation can be used for the dynamic design or analysis of soil-pile system.

A computer program for the linear elastic buckling anlalysis of thin walled members is developed using a 3-node triangular shell element. The element has real stiffness value for a kinematic degree of freedom associated with rotation about the surface normal at each node. The validity of the present computer program is demonstrated through the plate buckling analysis and the lateral-torsional buckling analysis of a straight beam. Then, simply supported circular arches subjected to uniform bending are analyzed and the results are compared with existing solutions.
