The seepage flow has been investigated conducting laboratory experiments mainly in order to determine the relation of seepage flow friction factor against Reynolds number. The apparatus of seepage flow measurements has the water flow almost horizontaly. Several sets of experiments were carried out, and various flow conditions were obtained in each set of flow. To cover wide range of flow conditions, used were various materials of different measurement sizes and various stages of water discharge in the seepage flow tests. Shape factor equation was developed using existing data, and based on the present laboratory data, an explicit equation was developed for the estimation of friction factor of seepage flow in the range of Reynolds number from about 1 to about 600. The same equation is expected for the flow condition of Reynolds number over 600, considering the trend of friction factor distribution.

In this study, skin friction evaluation methods developed f3r deep foundation system were investigated and a method that can properly evaluate the skin friction of large size pneumatic caisson was proposed. Especially, based on Hong Won-Pyo's method, new technique (Kn parameter method) was suggested for estimation of the skin friction. The $\lambda$ method used widely to pile foundation was also investigated fur the applicability of estimation of the skin friction of large size pneumatic caisson. To do this, the data measured from the pneumatic caissons installed as a substructure of main tower in the suspension bridge part of Youngjong Grand Bridge were utilized. The data show that the skin friction is proportional to the rate of sinking, and the skin friction distribution with depth is similar to parabolic type rather straight line, which is a type generally observed in pile foundation. The skin frictions predicted by the Kn and $\lambda$ methods were plotted with the measured data for comparisons. It is cleary shown that the skin frictions estimated by the proposed Kn parameter method are well matched with the measured data. That is, for the large size pneumatic caisson having wide base, the new technique developed from Hong Won-Pyo's method is more suitable for estimation of the skin friction rather than the $\lambda$ method.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for utilizing visual information for non-contact predicting method of friction coefficient. Coefficient of friction is very important in driving on road and traversing over obstacle. Our algorithm is based on terrain classification for visual image. The proposed method, non-contacting approach, has advantage over other methods that extract material characteristic of road by sensors contacting road surface. This method is composed of learning group(experiment, grouping material) and predicting friction coefficient group(Bayesian classification prediction function). Every group include previous work of vision. Advantage of our algorithm before entering such terrain can be very useful for avoiding slippery areas. We make experiment on measurement of friction coefficient of terrain. This result is utilized real friction coefficient as prediction method. We show error between real friction coefficient and predicted friction coefficient for performance evaluation of our algorithm.

Overall total length of hydraulic pipe to transport the hot water in the domestic district heating network is above 3,000 Km approximately. This long pipe network requires a lots of the transport pumping power by surface friction of fluid. In this study, the drag reduction(DR) of Amin Oxide $C_{18}$ as non-ionic surfactant according to the fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration under the condition of above $80^{\circ}C$ fluid temperature were investigated experimentally. Results showed that new amin oxide $C_{18}$ surfactant had DR of maximum 30% in fluid temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ and had 15% DR in fluid temperature over $100^{\circ}$ under short time test condition. And amine oxide had 155 hours duration time to keep the DR characteristic in the fluid temperature of $80^{\circ}$ and 1000 ppm concentration. But duration time of DR was decreased when fluid temperature increased.

Downdrag force develops when a pile is driven through a soil layer which will settle more than a pile. There is no obvious criterion for application of the current pile design method considering the negative skin friction. Therefore, in this study, numerical analyses were performed to investigate the behavior of a single pile subjected to negative skin friction and their results were used to determine the applicability of the current design method. Including three different sites in Song-do area and two different cases with friction pile and end bearing pile conditions, total six cases were considered. The load-settlement relationships and the neutral points were estimated for different end bearing conditions and the allowable bearing capacity of piles with negative skin friction was investigated through parametric studies. Based on the results showed that the negative skin friction made a major influence on the settlement of a pile and its stress. However the allowable bearing capacity may not be influenced by the negative skin friction. Compared with the allowable bearing capacity obtained from the ultimate bearing capacity with the safety factor of 3, the current design method with the safety factor of 3 underestimated the allowable bearing capacities regardless of the end bearing conditions. On the other hand, the current design method with the safety factor of 2 yielded reasonable results depending on the end bearing conditions.

Prior to the centrifugal model experiments of reinforced earth retaining walls, frictional tests were performed to investigate the frictional behavior between the sand and the reinforcements. Coefficient of friction between the soil and the reinforcements was evaluated using different reinforcements, their lengths and testing methods. Two different testing methods, the direct shear and the pull-out tests, were adopted and their testing results were compared to determine which. method better represented the actual behavior In the field.

미세유동에 대한 폭발적인 관심에 의해 이 분야의 연구는 다양한 측면에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 사각 미세채널에서의 슬립유동에 관한 연구 중 아직 제대로 이루어져 있지 않은 마찰특성에 관한 종횡비의 영향에 초점을 맞추어 3차원 수치해석을 행하였다. 그 결과 종횡비가 1.0 일 때 상하 벽면 및 좌우측 벽면에서의 전단음력은 동일하나, 종횡비가 감소함에 따라 전단응력은 상하 벽면과 좌우측 벽면이 상이한 강도로 증가함을 보였다. 또한 Knudsen 수의 증가에 따라서는 전단응력이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 벽면에서의 전단응력은 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소시킬 수 있으며, 마찰계수(fRe)도 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소됨을 밝혔다.

직경비가 0.26, 0.39, 그리고 0.56인 경우 거칠기를 내벽면에, 외벽면에, 그리고 양벽면에 각각 설치한 동심환형관에서 완전히 발달된 난류유동에 대한 거칠기 효과를 실험과 이론으로 해석하였다. 그리고 거칠기 효과를 정량적으로 파악하기 위해 양벽면 모두 매끈한 환형관의 경우도 포함하였다. 실험에서 마찰계수를 구하는데 필요한 속도분포와 전단응력들은 피토튜브와 X-형 열선풍속계를 사용하였다. 이론 해석은 수정대수 난류모델을 사용하였고 그 결과를 이론값과 비교하여 아래의 결론을 얻었다. 1) 무디다이어그램 (Moody diagram)은 거칠기가 설치된 이중관에는 적용할 수 없음을 보였다. 2) 경우(c) 와 (d)에서는 반경비가 클수록 반드시 마찰계수가 증가하지 않았다. 3) 4개의 경우중 거칠기로 인해 마찰계수가 증가하는 크기의 순서는 경우(d)가 가장 컸고 경우(a)가 가장 작았다.

난류상태로 유동중인 고분자 수용액은 순수 용매만의 경우에 비교할 때 동일유량에서 초기에 높은 마찰 저항감소효과를 보이며, 이러한 마찰저항감소효과는 펌프의 펌핑능력 증대로 큰 경제적 이익을 가져다준다. 그러나, 고분자 수용액은 그 극적인 마찰저항감소효과에도 불구하고 유동중에 가해지는 기계적 에너지, 열에너지 등에 의해서 초기의 높은 마찰저항감소효과를 점차적으로 상실하게 되기 때문에, 고분자 수용액의 퇴화를 완화시키기위한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기계적 퇴화특성이 비교적 강한 합성고분자와 계면활성제의 농도합계를 100wpm 으로 고정하고 비율을 11가지로 세분화하여 , 1$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 유속 1.5m/sec , 3.0m/sec 및 4.5m/sec 에 대한 퇴화경향을 알아보는 실험을 수행하였으며, 각 조건에서 합성고분자와 계면활성제의 적정비율을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 각 속도에서 시간에 따른 퇴화경향은 고속에서 기계적 에너지에 대한 퇴화를 볼 수 있었고, 계면활성제와 합성고분자를 혼합하여 첨가했을 경우 저온에서도 퇴화완화효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

The pull -out test has been used to investigate the friction properties between soil and grid type geosynthetics which is useful to measure the passive bearing resistance as well as the skin friction. In this paper, the friction properties between geogrid and a weathered granite soil are investigated by performing various pull-out tests. From the test results, a rational pull out test equipment and test method is suggested by evaluating the effects of major factors (such as geogrid width, location of soil box facing, vertical loads and pulll -out displacement rate, etc.) on pull -out test results.
