The bored pile is widely used as a low noise and vibration piling method in Korea. However, there is design tendency to minimize the friction capacity of the bored pile because of uncertainty and the quality control specification is not set up. This research analysed the strength characteristics of cement paste after the uniaxial compression test with various condition. Test results show that the compressive strength of cement paste with w/c=0.83 was up to $156.0kgf/cm^2$, and the lower w/c ratio and the longer age, the strength of cement paste increased. Also the higher soil mixing ratio, the strength of soil cement decreased, and too high soil mixing ratio caused the malfuction of soil cement. Also this research analysed the 188 dynamic pile test results which were performed before and after hardening of cement paste. Analysis result showed that the average ultimate unit friction capacity was $9.1tf/m^2$ and this result surpassed the common design criteria of the bored pile.

Since the mid-nineties, Republic of Korean Army has officially adapted information technology. Starting with the Chang-Jo 21('99) training M&S Model, around seventy types of the M&S system software, including Ground Operations & Resources Requirement Analysis Model ('10), developed by Republic of Korea Army or foreign counterparts have been utilized. However, as the existing cost estimations of the Defense M&S system software fail to reflect the acquisition and development environment, the estimated costs have been frequently overestimated or underestimated. This paper provides a suitable cost estimation model for the Defense M&S system software by presenting the software cost drivers which reflect the unique software development environment of the Defense.

Volumes of research have been implemented to estimate and predict the oil price. These models, however, fail in accurately predicting oil price as a model composed of only a few observable variables is limiting. Unobservable variables and news that have been overlooked in past research, yet have a high likelihood of affecting the oil price. Hence, this paper analyses the news impact on the price. The standard GARCH model fails in capturing some important features of the data. The estimated news impact curve for the GARCH model, which imposes symmetry on the conditional variances, suggests that the conditional variance is underestimated for negative shocks and overestimated for positive shocks. Hence, this paper introduces the asymmetric or leverage volatility models, in which good news and bad news have different impact on volatility. They include the EGARCH, AGARCH, and GJR models. The empirical results showed that negative shocks introduced more volatility than positive shocks. Overall, the AGARCH and GJR were the best at capturing this asymmetric effect. Furthermore, the GJR model successfully revealed the shape of the news impact curve and was a useful approach to modeling conditional heteroscedasticity.

This study was performed to investigate the characteristics of drying shrinkage for concrete slabs as a project for Korean pavement design procedure. According to the volume-surface ratios and aggregate types, the experiments have been executed for 252 days. In order to simulate the volume-surface ratio of a real concrete pavement slab, three-layer epoxy coating and wrapping were used to prevent the evaporation at the part of specimen surfaces. As a result of preliminary test, coating and wrapping method was identified as reliable for three months. According to the volume-surface ratio, the drying shrinkage of the concrete specimen using sandstone was measured 1.32 to 1.8 times higher than that of the limestone specimen. Comparing to the measured drying shrinkage strains and established ACI and CEB-FIP model equations, it turned out that those model equations were underestimated. Finally, considering the age and volume-surface ratios, the prediction equations of the drying shrinkage of concrete specimen were proposed through a multiple nonlinear regression analysis.

In order to generate the stable tsunami in a numerical wave tank, a two-dimensional numerical model, LES-WASS-2D has been introduced the non-reflected wave generation system for various tsunami waveforms. And then, comparing to existing experimental results it is revealed that computed results of the LES-WASS-2D are in good agreement with the experimental results on spatial and temporal tsunami waveforms in the vicinity of a seawall. It is shown that the applied model in this study is applicable to the numerical simulations on tsunami overtopping and inundation. Using the numerical results, the characteristics of overtopping and inundation on a seawall are also discussed with volume ratio of tsunami and relative tsunami height. The wider the tsunami waveform, tsunami overtopping quantity and inundation distances are linearly increased. Therefore, the hydraulic characteristics is highly likely to be underestimated against the real tsunami if the solitary wave of approximation theory is applied for the overtopping/inundation simulations due to a tsunami.

The purpose of this study is to propose the more reasonable equation of bond strength of grout-filled splice sleeve. To accomplish this objective, total 60 full-sized specimens were tested under monotonic loading. The experimental variables are compressive strength of mortar, embedment length and size of reinforcing bars. Following conclusions are obtained; 1) If the adequacy of existing equations which estimate the bond strength of grout-filled splice sleeve are investigated, they underestimate the bond strength of grout-filled splice sleeve by 8-18%. Also the existing equations have a tendency to underestimate with decrease in the embedment length of reinforcing bars. 2) From the test result of bond failure, the equation which estimates the confining pressure of grout-filled splice sleeve was proposed by making multiple regression analyses of which independent variables are embedment length of reinforcing bars and compressive strength of mortar. This equation predicted the measured bond capacity of this test more accurately than existing equations and eliminated the deviation according to the embedment length of reinforcing bars.

The purpose of present study performed 27 CFRD cases analyses to predict and effectively use post-construction crest settlement, face slab deformation, and leakage as indexes for the maintenance and management of concrete faced rockfill dams(CFRD). The results showed that the range of post-construction crest settlement suggested by Sherard and Cooke (1987), and Clements (1984) had a good agreement in the case analyses using rockfills with very high intact strength, but it had a trend which underestimated crest settlement in the cases using rockfills with medium to high intact strength. The leakage case analyses showed that leakage is mainly caused by face slab deformation due to the water load, the maximum leakage in general was observed during the first reservoir filling, and leakage was rapidly increasing when the dam height exceeds 125m.

흔히 진흙으로 불리는 점착성 유사는 모래 등의 비점착성 유사와는 다른 특성을 보인다. 가장 큰 특징은 점착력에 의해 서로 엉겨 붙어 큰 덩어리(플럭)를 형성하고 다시 큰 플럭이 파괴되는 과정인 응집현상(Flocculation Process)을 보인다는 것이다. 이 응집현상의 과정을 통해 플럭은 크기 및 밀도를 지속적으로 변화시킨다. 크기 및 밀도의 변화는 플럭의 침강속도를 변화시켜 점착성 유사의 부유, 퇴적, 이송, 확산의 과정에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 응집현상은 플럭의 침강속도 뿐 아니라 부피농도와 질량농도 사이의 비선형적 관계를 야기하여 흐름 운동량 방정식 유도, 난류의 모형화 등에서도 비점착성 유사와 다른 방향으로 진행된다. 점착성 유사가 우세한 지역의 또 다른 특성은 자기하중에 의한 압밀현상에 따라 발생하는 가변적인 한계소류력이다. 따라서 점착성 유사의 이동을 모형화 하는 과정에서는 가변적인 침식율의 가정 등을 통해 이에 대한 고려가 반드시 이루어져야 한다. 흐름의 운동량 방정식 및 난류 모형에서는 플럭의 부피 농도와 질량농도가 각 항의 물리적 의미에 부합하도록 개별적으로 선택 및 적용되어야 질량보존의 문제 등으로 발생할 수 있는 계산상의 오류를 배제할 수 있다. 적용 결과, 점착성 유사가 우세한 지역에서 나타나는 높은 부유 및 흐름정체기에서의 부유사 존재 등의 특성이 점착성 유사 이동을 위한 모형에서 보다 합리적으로 계산된다는 사실이 확인되었다. 그리고 비점착성 유사에 적합한 이동 모형이 점착성이 우세한 지역에 적용될 경우, 상황에 따라 유사량을 과대 및 과소 산정할 수 있다는 결론이 도출되었다. 조류의 영향이 존재하는 하구부의 경우에는 조류의 형태와 비대칭성에 따라 유사량의 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 조류의 형태는 주로 하구부의 지형에 의해 결정되므로 준설, 매립, 확폭 등과 같은 하구부에서의 사업이 진행되는 경우, 유사량 변화에 대한 고려가 반드시 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the effects of a shear slip on the deflection of steel-concretecomposite beams with partial shear interaction. Under the guidance of various current design codes, this deflection was related to the strength of shear connectors in the composite beams. In this paper, a shear connector stiffness based on exact solutions, regardless of loading conditions, was developed. The equivalent rigidity of composite beams that considered three different loading types was first derived, based on equilibrium and curvature compatibility, from which a general formula accounting for slips was developed. To validate this approach, the predicted maximum deflection under the proposed method was compared against currently used equations to calculate beam effective stiffness (AISC)Nie's equations, which have recently been proposed. For typical beams that were used in practice, shear slips might result in stiffness reduction of up to 18% for short-span beams. For full composite sections, the effective section modulus with the AISC specifications was larger than that of the present study, which meant that the specifications were not conservative. For partial composite sections, the AISC predictions were more conservative than those in the present study.

Practically, the composite roughness coefficient, which is the equivalent roughness coefficient of a cross-section where the wall roughness is not constant along the wetted perimeter, is used to describe the flow conditions in open channels. In this study, it was conducted that the previous formulae was classified according to a weighting factor of the local resistance. The new subsection division method was also developed based on the force-balance concept in each subsection. The accuracy of the proposed method was examined and the applicability and limitation of the 13 existing formulae were analyzed by comparing the calculated with the experimental measured data from Djajadi (2009) and Knight and Macdonald (1979). It was found that Horton's method might underestimate the total conveyance of a composite channel and Lotter's method showed a good agreement between calculated and measured data. However, the proper division method, such as the proposed method based on the Z-method, is required for the application of Lotter's method.
