In this study, the optimization algorithm by inverse analysis that is the core of the adaptive management technique was adopted to update the soil engineering properties based on the ground response during the construction. Adaptive management technique is the framework wherein construction and design procedures are adjusted based on observations and measurements made as construction proceeds. To evaluate the performance of the adaptive management technique, the numerical simulation for the triaxial tests and the synthetic deep excavation were conducted with the Hardening Soil model. To effectively conduct the analysis, the effective parameters among the parameters employed in the model were selected based on the composite scaled sensitivity analysis. The results from the undrained triaxial tests performed with soft Chicago clays were used for the parameter calibration. The simulation for the synthetic deep excavation were conducted assuming that the soil engineering parameters obtained from the triaxial simulation represent the actual field condition. These values were used as the reference values. The observation for the synthetic deep excavation simulations was the horizontal displacement of the support wall that has the highest composite scaled sensitivity among the other possible observations. It was found that the horizontal displacement of the support wall with the various initial soil properties were converged to the reference displacement by using the adaptive management technique.

The usage of Integral abutment bridges has been increased worldwide because of reducing bridge maintenance costs and resisting seismic loads. Although these attributes make the integral abutment bridge an increasingly popular choice, back-abutment interaction issues remain unresolved. Hence, the earth pressure behavior of an integral abutment bridge having 90 m long PSC beam bridge for the first time in Korea was analyzed by conducting long term monitoring in this study. Based on this study, the results were as follows; the ratio of maximum passive movement to the abutment height (H) of 0.0027 and the maximum passive earth pressure coefficient of 4.8 were developed at 0.82H from the bottom of the abutment during summer season. During winter season, the ratio of maximum active movement to H of 0.0011 and the maximum active earth pressure coefficient of 0.7 were developed at the same location as in summer season. The new earth pressure distributions having a trapezoid type were proposed based on this study.

가뭄은 다른 자연재해에 비해 진행 속도가 느리고 발생 시작 시기가 명확하지 않다. 또한 피해지역이 광범위하다는 점에서 사회, 경제적 피해와 농업 생산 시스템 및 수확량 등 농업 전반에 걸쳐 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 전지구적 기후변화로 인해 국내의 가뭄 발생빈도는 2000년 이후 증가하고 있으며, 가뭄의 정량적 분석은 선제적 가뭄 대응을 위해 필요하다. 현재 국내에서는 여러 유관기관에서 지상 관측 데이터를 활용하여 가뭄을 모니터링하고, 가뭄 공간 분포 지도를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 지상 관측 데이터를 통한 가뭄 분포 지도는 미계측 지역에 대한 데이터 취득이 어렵고, 지형학적 특성을 고려하지 못하는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 한계점을 보완하기 위해 수자원 및 재해 분야에서 위성영상이 활용되고 있다. 위성영상을 활용한 가뭄 판단 및 예측에는 정규식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI)가 사용되고 있으며, 식생지수는 가뭄 발생, 진행 등에 있어 즉각적인 반응이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 잠재 증발산과 실제 증발산의 비를 이용해 산정된 위성영상 기반 가뭄 지수인 Evaporative Stress Index (ESI)를 활용하였다. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)에서 제공하는 ESI는 전지구를 대상으로 5km 해상도로 제공하고 있다. 하지만 국내 가뭄 판단을 위해서는 높은 해상도의 영상이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 영상을 활용한 ESI의 산정을 통해 해상도의 문제를 개선하고자 한다. 산정한 500m 해상도의 ESI는 기존 5km 해상도의 ESI와 비교 검증하였으며, SPI 및 과거 가뭄 발생 현황 자료를 근거로 ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) 분석을 통해 시군 단위 농업가뭄평가의 적용성을 확인하고 한다.

최근 일본에서는 ESCO사업에 PFI법을 새로이 적용하고 있다. 성과배분제, 성과보증제에 이어 이 제도를 적용할 경우, 국가 및 공공기관을 대상으로 하는 ESCO사업의 확대 및 자금조달이 한층 유리해질 전망이다. 지난 99년 제정된 PFI(Private Finance Initiative)법(민간자금 등의 활용에 의한 공공시설 등의 정비 등의 촉진에 관한 법률)에 근거한 사업은 ''공공시설 등''에 있어서 건설, 유지관리 운영 등을 민간의 자금, 경영능력 및 기술적 능력을 활용하는 사업방법으로 사업 전체의 리스크관리가 효율적으로 행해지는 것과 설게$\cdot$시공$\cdot$유지관리$\cdot$운영의 전부 또는 일부를 일체적으로 취급하는 것에 의해 사업비용의 절감이 기대되며 질 높은 서비스의 제공이 가능한 제도이다. 이것과 매우 유사한 개념을 가지고 있는 것이 성과보증제에 의한 ESCO사업이다. 민간사업자인 ESCO사업자가 자금을 조달하고 에너지절약 개수공사에 따른 설계$\cdot$시공$\cdot$, 운전$\cdot$유지관리, 계측$\cdot$검증, 에너지절감 보증 등의 서비스를 제공하며, 광열수도비 및 운전$\cdot$유지관리비의 절감분으로 모든 투자와 ESCO사업자의 경비를 지불한다. 또 에너지절감 및 공공의 이익보증을 포함한 퍼포먼스계약이라고 하는 형태를 취하는 것으로 공공 이익의 최대화를 도모함과 동시에 금융기관의 투자 리스크에 관한 우려를 회피할 수도 있다. 또 PFI법 특유의 법제상, 재정상의 조치와 재정상 및 금융상의 지원이라는 배려에 있다. 예를 들면, 국고채무부담행위의 설정, 행정재산 사용료의 무상화 또는 감면, 프로젝트 파이낸싱 등에 의한 자금조달을 고려할 경우에 있어서 담보권의 설정 등에 관한 제도를 합리적으로 정비하는 것이 가능하게 된다. 그 내용의 대강을 살펴본다.

최근 지구온난화로 인한 기상변동성 증가로 인해 극한기후현상의 발생빈도가 점차 증가하고 있으며 유역단위의 수자원을 효율적으로 운영하는데 문제점을 해소하고자 다양한 측면에서 체계적인 수자원 운영을 위한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 수공구조물을 설계하는데 있어서 가장 일반적인 가정 사항은 수문모형에 사용되는 강우의 빈도와 유출의 빈도가 동일하다는 가정에 근거한다. 즉, 유역의 초기함수조건, 강우강도, 강우의 시간적 분포와 관계없이 동일한 빈도로 고려되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 점에서 비교적 장기간의 자료를 확보하고 있는 계측유역에 대해서 다변량 확률밀도함수를 적용하여 비선형관계를 고려한 수문빈도해석기법을 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 이변량 분석기법(bivariate analysis) 중 전통적인 이변량 분포에 비해 주변분포형(marginal distribution)을 자유롭게 선택할 수 있는 장점이 있는 추계학적 Copula 모형을 활용하여 댐 및 저수지 상류유역의 강우량과 유입량을 대상으로 이변량 분석을 수행하고자 한다. 최종적으로 비선형 관계에 있는 강수량과 유출량 사이에 이변량 빈도해석 모형을 개발하고 기존 해석방법과의 종합적인 비교를 실시하였다.

To evaluate the vertical loads on railway bridges, conventional load tests are typically conducted. However, these tests often entail significant costs and procedural challenges. Railway conditions involve nearly identical load profiles due to standardized rail systems, which may appear straightforward in terms of load conditions. Nevertheless, this study aims to validate load tests conducted under operational train conditions by comparing the results with those obtained from conventional load tests. Additionally, static and dynamic structural behaviors are extracted from the measurement data for evaluation. To ensure the reliability of load testing, this research demonstrates feasibility through comparisons of existing measurement data with sensor attachment locations, train speeds, responses between different rail lines, tendency analysis, selection of impact coefficients, and analysis of natural frequencies. This study applies to the Dongho Railway Bridge and verifies the applicability of the proposed method. Ten operational trains and 44 sensors were deployed on the bridge to measure deformations and deflections during load test intervals, which were then compared with theoretical values. The analysis results indicate good symmetry and overlap of loads, as well as a favorable comparison between static and dynamic load test results. The maximum measured impact coefficient (0.092) was found to be lower than the theoretical impact coefficient (0.327), and the impact influence from live loads was deemed acceptable. The measured natural frequencies approximated the theoretical values, with an average of 2.393Hz compared to the calculated value of 2.415Hz. Based on these results, this paper demonstrates that for evaluating vertical loads, it is possible to measure deformations and deflections of truss railway bridges through load tests under operational train conditions without traffic control, enabling the calculation of response factors for stress adjustments.

An experimental study was carried out in order to reduce the period and cost of construction of Missiryung tunnel, which is a relatively long one 3.6 km long. An allowable vibration level for curing concrete was established based on the extensive case studies done over the world. and assessment was performed on the possibility of constructing concrete structures like lining during tunnel blasting. Attenuation relationships were obtained by processing more than 130 measurement data from a series of tunnel blasting in the site. A Guideline for safe construction work was suggested. To verification, low small concrete blocks with a constant standoff distance were installed in the floor of the tunnel After the blocks were exposed to blast vibrations for 28 days, compressive strength tests were performed on 20 specimens taken from the blocks. It was shown that the suggested guideline was appropriate for the safe construction work at the site.

This study will present the experimental research on the establishment of design considerations and structural integrity of the placed steel-plate cell methods for seawall and waterbreak, which have some benefits in the aspects of construction cost, time and equipments compared with the existing methods. The behavior of steel-plate cell structure is complicate due to stiffeners and cell-arc junction. There is also an ambiguity on lateral pressure by cell and arc filler. To resolve such problems, full scale cell $(D11.0^m{\times}H14.0^m{\times}12t)$ has been designed and fabricated, then placed on the seabed and filled. The strain measurement has also been performed to build up the design technology together with numerical analysis.

The various alternatives to reduce the construction period and cost in the wide and long tunnel have been attempted recently. However, the concrete lining forming process after finishing tunnel excavation may delay construction period considering the specific conditions of the wide and long tunnel. The concrete lining is indispensible for the road tunnel. For this reason, the blasting-lining synchronizing study had been carried out to reduce construction period in the Gyea-Ryong Tunnel. Lining models were installed at four different distance conditions the floor of the tunnel. After model installation, hundreds of blasting vibration measurements and concrete material tests were performed to calculate the safe distance between blasting point and concrete lining form. The study also introduces a method which can obtain the better ability of construction by improving working environment with the ventilation and the relocation of tunnel equipments in the working places.
