절토사면의 붕괴원인은 토질 및 지질조건, 지형, 강우, 지하수 및 지표수, 사면형상, 굴착 및 발파와 같은 인위적인 조건, 사면보호공 등과 같이 다양한 영향이 있을 수 있으나 가장 많은 영향을 주는 원인으로 토질 및 지질적인 조건이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 지질조건에서 붕괴가 발생될 경우의 활동면에 대한 전단강도 추정하는 방법에 있어 역해석법에 의한 활동면의 전단강도 추정을 연구하였다 연구결과 붕괴된 사면에서 화성암은 마찰각 20$^{\circ}$~30$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0~2t/$m^2$의 범위를 가지며 퇴적암에서는 마찰각 $10^{\circ}$~17$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0~2.5t/$m^2$의 범위, 변성암에서는 마찰각 $10^{\circ}$~40$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0~4.0t/$m^2$의 범위가 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 지질구별 구분에 의하면, 절리에 의해 붕괴가 발생된 경우에는 마찰각 30$^{\circ}$~40$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0~3.5t/$m^2$, 엽리면은 마찰각 30$^{\circ}$~35$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0.5~3.0t/$m^2$, 단층면은 마찰각 11$^{\circ}$~38$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0~3.0t/$m^2$, 층리면은 마찰각 $10^{\circ}$~17$^{\circ}$, 점착력 0~2.5t/$m^2$ 정도의 범위를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

The attenuation study of Lg waves is very important in the southeast Korea because the Yangsan fault, believed to be active faults, lied in the industrialized region of the area. By applying the reversed two-station method for the vertical component of the velocity seismogram, we first estimated the Lg attenuation coefficient in this area: $${＼gamma}=(0.009±0.0005)＼;f^{0.06+0.03}$$ between 0.87 and 10 Hz. The ${Q_{Lg}}^{-1}$ values converted from ${＼gamma}$ prove to be higher than those of S-waves, and show the highest values in the world for the high frequency part around 10 Hz. This high attenuation of Lg may be related to a block of Lg propagation near the East Sea and/or an undulately thinning crust of the studied area.

This study is an analysis of slope failure examples of cut sedimentary hills during construction road in Kyoungsang Basin, especially Yangsan Fault system (Ilkwang-Dongrae fault). This area involved a lot of hillslope failures compared to other areas during road construction. The exposed failure slopes were first face-mapped, and then back analyzed based on the limit equilibrium method to assess the shear strength parameters of discontinuity (bedding). The results of this analysis indicate that the shear strength parameters of discontinuity (bedding) are significantly smaller than those used in the design stage and presented in the existing works. The filling in the bedding and emerging groundwater may be decreasing strength parameters. Especially, the clay in the bedding plays a key role in the effect of the shear strength. The study also suggests that the bedding angle and the internal friction angle are proportional to each other. Using this relationship and knowing the bedding angle, the friction can easily be estimated.

본 연구에서는 지진해일 모의결과를 바탕으로 하여 지진해일모형 결과에 민감하게 작용할 수 있는 다양한 입력조건을 분석하였다. 우선 2004년 인도양 지진해일 모의를 위하여 다중격자체계를 갖추고 있는 COMCOT모형과 수심적분된 Boussinesq모형의 결합모형을 사용하였으며, 근해역에 지진해일 충격 및 피해산정 결과에 유효한 영향을 주는 입력인자를 파악하기 위하여 4가지의 시나리오를 설정하였다. 각 시나리오에서는 3개의 서로 다른 독립인자가 포함되었으며 이들은 배타적으로 결정되어 최소한의 시나리오로 다양한 분석이 가능하도록 하였다. 즉, 시나리오 1에서는 지진해일의 초기수면상태를 산정하기 위한 간략화된 단층모형을 적용하였고, 이 때 바닥마찰에 대한 고려는 배제되었다. 시나리오 2에서는 시나리오 1과 모든 조건은 동일하게 하였으나 유한단층 모형을 통해 초기수면상태를 산정하도록 하였다. 이처럼 유사하게 시나리오 3에서는 복잡한 지형 특성을 나타내는 몰디브 지역의 보다 정확한 해석을 위하여 몰디브 지역의 상세격자망을 추가적으로 다중격자체계에 포함시켰다. 마지막으로 바닥마찰항에 대한 민감도를 분석하기 위하여 시나리오 4에서는 바닥마찰항에 대한 고려를 포함시켰다. 또한, 4가지 시나리오 외에 결합모형의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, COMCOT모형만을 사용하는 시나리오를 추가적으로 설정하였다. 즉, 시나리오 1과 모든 조건은 동일하되 COMCOT모형만을 사용하도록 하였다. 설정된 조건에 따른 수치모의 결과, 지진해일 내습에 따른 해수위 변화는 각 시나리오별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, Boussinesq모형에 의한 지진해일의 동수역학적 거동은 COMCOT모형을 사용한 결과와 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 특히 파랑에 기인한 난류적 거동은 극명한 대조를 이루었다. 따라서, 본 연구결과를 통해 향후 파랑에 기인한 난류적 거동의 정확모의를 위해 수치해석에 따른 확산오차 및 바닥마찰항에 대한 면밀한 연구가 필요함을 시사하였다.

It is reported that the mechanical properties of vertebral trabecular bone depend on the density and the mass of bones. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease caused by low bone mass and microstructure deterioration of trabecular bone. Silva and Gibson (1997) studied the treatment of age-related bone loss using drug therapy. Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of osteoporosis vertebrae. This procedure includes puncturing vertebrae and filling with Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). However, the relative effect of drug therapy and bone cement for osteoporosis treatment is not reported yet. In this study, several 2D models of human vertebral trabecular bone are analyzed by finite element method. The mechanical behaviors of the vertebral trabecular bone treated by the drug therapy and the bone cement are compared. This study shows that bone cement treatment is more effective strategy than drug therapy to prevent the degradation of bone strength.

In the Sinri area located at the mid western boundary of the Jinan basin, the Manduksan Formation which mainly consists of coarse sandstone narrowly intercalated with shale and the alternation of sand and shale and the Dalgil Formation mainly of shale are distributed. It consists of four lithofacies, such as coarse sandstone, interbedded sandstone/shale, shale and volcanic rock lithofacies. All sediments are interpreted to be deposited by turbidity currents and free fallouts in a lacustrine basin. In these rocks many penecontemporaneous defomation structures are observed such as fold and thrust fault at large scale, and swelling, boudin structure, flame structure, load structure, ptygmatic fold and convolute bedding at small scale. All these structures are developed between upper and lower undisturbed sedimentary strata. Two large folds are similar folds, but lower one gradually developed into concentric shape. The swelling structures by convergence of the sediments are observed in the hinge area and the boudin structures are developed in the limb. The thrust faults including minor folds and sandstone lobes show duplex structure with asymmetric and kink fold on and below in front of the detached sandstone layer. Development of the swellings, boudins and lobes indicates the flexbility of the sediments during deformational episodes. The folds and thrust faults rarely contain fractures relative their scales and lithologies. This feature also indicates the retrievability of sediments during deformation. At the flanks of the thrust faults the normal faults are formed contemporaneously. The deformation structures at small scale such as flame structures, load structures, ptygmatic folds and convolute beddings are syndepositional and penecontemporaneous, which show the effects of tectonic movements. All these deformed sedimentary structures of the Sinri area suggest the continuing tectonic movements during and/or after deposition.

In order to characterize the Neotectonic crustal deformation and current stress field in and around the Korean Peninsula and to interpret their tectonic implications, this paper synthetically analyzes the previous Quaternary fault and focal mechanism solution data and recent geotechnical in-situ stress data and examines the characteristics of crustal deformations and tectonic settings in and around East Asia after the Miocene. Most of the Quaternary fault outcrops in SE Korea occur along major inherited fault zones and show a NS-striking top-to-the-west thrust geometry, indicating that the faults were produced by local reactivation of appropriately oriented preexisting weaknesses under EW-trending pure compressional stress field. The focal mechanism solutions in and around the Korean Peninsula disclose that strike-slip faulting containing some reverse-slip component and reverse-slip faulting are significantly dominant on land and in sea area, respectively. The P-axes are horizontally clustered in ENE-WSW direction, whereas the T-axes are girdle-distributed in NNW direction. The geotechnical in-situ stress data in South Korea also indicate the ENE-trending maximum horizontal stress. The current crustal deformation in the Korean Peninsula is thus characterized by crustal contraction under regional ENE-WSW or E-W compression stress field. Based on the regional stress trajectories in and around East Asia, the current stress regime is interpreted to have resulted from the cooperation of westward shallow subduction of the Pacific Plate and collision of Indian and Eurasian continents, whereas the Philippine Sea plate have not a decisive effect on the stress-regime in the Korean Peninsula due to its high-angle subduction that resulted in dominant crust extension of the back-arc region. It is also interpreted that the Neotectonic crustal deformation and present-day tectonic setting of East Asia commenced with the change of the Pacific Plate motion during 5~3.2 Ma.

This paper presents a back-calculation technique leer the prediction of the behavior of earth wall inserted in multi-layered soil deposit. The soil properties are back-calculated from the measured displacement at each construction stage and the behavior of earth wall far the next construction stage is predicted using back-calculated soil properties. For multi-layered soil deposit, the back-calculation would be very difficult due to the increase in the number of variables. In this study, to solve this difficulty, the back-calculation was performed successively from the lowest layer to the upper layers. An efficient elasto-plastic beam-column analysis was used for forward analysis to minimize the computation time of iterative back-calculation procedure. The coefficients of subgrade reaction and lateral earth pressure necessary for the formation of p-y curve were selected as back calculation variables, and to minimize the effect of abnormal behavior of the wall which might be caused by any unexpected action during construction, the difference between measured displacement increment and computed displacement increment at each construction stages is used as the objective function of optimization. The constrained sequential linear programming was used for the optimization technique to found values of variables minimizing the objective function. The proposed method in this study was verified using numerically generated data and measured field data.

The response of single story buildings and other case studies were investigated to observe trends and develop a better understanding of the impact of some design parameters on the seismic response of Concentrically Braced Frames (CBF). While many parameters are known to influence the behavior of braced frames, the focus of this study was mostly on quantifying energy dissipation in compression and its effectiveness on seismic performance. Based on dynamic analyses of single story braced frame and case studies, a bracing member designed with bigger R and larger KL/r was found to result in lower normalized cumulative energy ratio in both cases.
