In this study, the applicability of geotextile mesh soil nails on slopes was evaluated by numerical analysis to reduce environmental problems which a general soil nailing might produce and to improve its economical efficiency and construction convenience. To this end, in situ pull-out tests were conducted for both general soil nail and geotextile mesh soil nail and their pull-out characteristics were analyzed. Also, finite difference method was used to verify the suitability of numerical simulation. Parameters for nail and ground conditions were selected and sensitivity analysis was performed for the evaluation of slope stability. In addition, analysis was performed by limit equilibrium method which is widely used for slope stability analysis in practice. As a result, if the nail diameter was same, there is no big difference between geotextile mesh soil nails and general soil nails in terms of slope stability. Therefore it can be expected that geotextile mesh soil nails could be effective for slope reinforcement since they could keep a slope as stable as general soil nails and give better economical efficiency and construction convenience than general soil nails.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the snowmelt effects on the hydrological components, especially on the runoff, by using the soil water assessment tool(SWAT) which is a continuous semi-distributed long term rainfall-runoff model. The model was applied to the basin located in the upstream of the Chungju Dam. Some parameters in the snowmelt algorithm were estimated for the Chungju basin in order to reflect the snowmelt effects. The snowmelt effects were assessed by comparing the simulated runoff with the observed runoff data at the outlet of the basin. It was found out that the simulated runoff with considering the snowmelt component matches more satisfactorily to the observed one than without considering snowmelt effect. The simulation results revealed that the snowmelt effects were noticeable on March and April. Similar results were obtained at other two upstream gauging points. The effect of the elevation bands which distribute temperature and precipitation with elevation was analyzed. This study also showed that the snowmelt effect significantly affects the temporal distribution as well as quantity of the hydrological components. The simulated runoff was very sensitive to the change of temperature near the threshold temperature which the snowmelt can occur. However, the reason was not accounted for this paper, Therefore, further analyses related to this feature are needed.

Recently, a new PSC (Prestressed Concrete) bridge system, which is supported by Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (CFFRP) strut, has been introduced. This bridge is able to reduce self-weight and increase the width of traditional PSC bridges. However, no relevant research has been reported on local behavior of CFFRP strut in the bridge system. The purpose of this study is to investigate local behavior of CFFRP struts using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. Field tests were performed to examine the hoop strains and longitudinal strains of the FRP strut under various lateral positions and velocities of a test truck. It has been observed that CFFRP strut is under compression regardless of vehicle speed and location. However, the CFFRP strut is sensitive to the lateral position of vehicles in terms of strain magnitude. Results also indicated that the FBG sensors can faithfully record the hoop and longitudinal strains of the FRP strut without electro-magnetic interference.

In this study, it was examined that a methodology for evaluating the design flood level reasonably at Imjin River estuary affected by the tide periodically. First of all, the change of the flood level was observed by performing unsteady simulation which can take into account the characteristics of the tidal rivers. And the variations of the flood level was analyzed by change of the Manning's roughness coefficient which is sensitive to the water level calculation. The results were compared with the design flood level at Imjin River estuary announced in the 2011 Imjin River Basic Plan Report. For reference, the design flood level reported in 2011 has been calculated by using a section of a huge riverbed dredging section as input data. From the simulation results, it was found that the flood level evaluated by this study was able to satisfy the freeboard of the levee without the riverbed dredging when the roughness coefficient was assigned to the same value as that of the Han river estuary in the calculation of the flood level, and the unsteady flow simulation was carried out to reflect on the tidal river.

To propose a cause analysis method of pressurized facilities, a likelihood of failure (LOF) for the thinning module by hydrochloric acid corrosion was analyzed through the risk-based inspection (RBI) using API-581 BRD. For this investigation, the technical module subfactor (TMSF), as a main factor of the LOF, was estimated, and the effects of parameters on the TMSF were analyzed quantitatively. As a result, we found that the TMSF increased with increasing chloride ion concentration and temperature, but it decreased with increasing thickness of the facilities, inspection number and inspection effectiveness. Also, the TMSF showed a relatively low value for the monitoring system implemented and the overdesign factor>1.5. In this condition, the TMSF changed sensitively with the inspection number, the inspection effectiveness and the overdesign factor, and its magnitude varied with the monitoring system.

본 연구에서는 댐 하류지역의 물관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 금강수계의 댐 하류지역인 논산지점을 대상으로 기 개발된 수위-유량 곡선식에 의해 추정된 유출량과 RRFS에 의해 추정된 유출량을 실제 분석하고자하는 시점에서 도보측정에 의해 측정된 유출량과 비교하였다. 이러한 유출분석을 위해 유출분석의 기초자료인 논산유역의 면적강우량을 산정하고자 8개의 강우관측지점을 선정하고 티센계수를 구하였다. 각 방법별 유출량의 비교를 위해 도보측정에 의한 유출량은 2005년부터 2006년까지 각각 39회와 40회에 걸쳐 추정되었고 기 개발된 수위-유량곡선식에 의한 유출량은 국가수자원관리 종합시스템에서 제공하는 수위-유량곡선식을 사용하여 추정되었으며 RRFS에 의한 유출량은 매개변수의 민감도분석과 보정에 의해 추정되었다. 이들 방법에 의한 유출량 중에서 도보측정에 의한 유출량을 참값으로 가정하고 수위-유량곡선식에 의한 유출량과 RRFS에 의한 유출량, 각각에 대한 상대평균제곱근오차와 상대절대오차를 구하였다. 이러한 오차분석 결과에서 2005년과 2006년 모두 RRFS에 의한 유출량이 기 개발된 수위-유량 곡선식에 의한 유출량보다 도보 측정에 의한 유출량에 더 근접하는 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 향후 댐 하류 주요지점을 대상으로 유출분석을 실시할 경우 본 연구와 같은 분석 절차를 거쳐야 할 것이다.

낙동강에는 2010-2012년 4대강 사업 완료 후 8개의 다기능 보가 설치되었다. 보 설치로 인해 물의 체류시간이 증가하고 보 상류에는 정체수역이 광범위하게 형성되었다. 이후 지속된 가뭄과 여름철 고온현상이 겹치면서 남조류의 과잉성장(녹조현상)이 빈번히 발생하여 수생태계 건강성에 문제를 초래하는 등 사회적 이슈로 자리잡게 되었다. 조류의 과잉성장을 해결하기 위해 정부에서는 총인(TP) 방류수 수질기준 강화, 펄스형 방류기법 운영 등 대책을 추진하였으며, 녹조 우심지역을 선정하고 지역 특성에 맞는 대응방안을 수립하여 추진하고 있으나, 그 효과가 국부적이고 일시적이어서 근원적 대책 마련이 필요한 실정이다. 일반적으로 남조류의 과잉성장에 영향을 미치는 요소는 높은 영양염류(질소, 인)와 유기물 농도, 고온과 안정적인 성층강도, 그리고 남조류의 생리적 특성 등으로 매우 다양하기 때문에 정확한 발생 원인의 분석이 어려운 경우가 많다. 그러나, 보에 의해 흐름이 조절되는 하천에서는 유량, 유속 및 수온성층 등이 남조류 성장과 천이특성에 가장 민감한 영향을 미친다. 선행 연구사례에서는 유량과 남조류 생체량이 서로 반비례 관계를 가진다는 점과 상 하층간의 온도차(수온성층)가 남조류 우점과 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것을 보였다(Sherman et al. 1998). 따라서 최근 국내에서도 보의 관리수위를 낮추어 유속을 증가시키고 체류시간을 감소시켜 녹조문제를 완화하려는 노력이 추진 중이다. 하지만 하천의 수질은 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 요인들의 복잡한 상호작용의 결과이므로, 단기간의 측정 결과로 보 수위 저하의 효과를 평가하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 이를 과학적으로 평가하기 위해서 수리 수질 생태의 연동해석이 가능한 수치모델을 활용할 필요가 있다. 수치모델은 매개변수를 충분히 보정한다면, 다른 모든 요인은 동일한 조건에서 보 수위 저하만의 영향을 예측하는데 활용가능하다. 본 연구의 목적은 낙동강 수계 중류에 위치한 칠곡보-강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 3차원 수리 수질모델인 EFDC를 구축하고, 실측 자료를 이용하여 모델을 보정한 후 보 관리수위의 저하운영 시나리오에 따른 수질과 남조류의 시 공간적 변동 특성을 분석하는데 있다.

In this paper, an extended snake algorithm using color variance energy is proposed for segmenting an interest object in color image. General snake algorithm makes use of energy in image to segment images into a interesting area and background. There are many kinds of energy that can be used by the snake algorithm. The efficiency of the snake algorithm is depend on what kind of energy is used. A general snake algorithm based on active contour model uses the intensity value as an image energy that can be implemented and analyzed easily. But it is sensitive to noises because the image gradient uses a differential operator to get its image energy. And it is difficult for the general snake algorithm to be applied on the complex image background. Therefore, the proposed snake algorithm efficiently segment an interest object on the color image by adding a color variance of the segmented area to the image energy. This paper executed various experiments to segment an interest object on color images with simple or complex background for verifying the performance of the proposed extended snake algorithm. It shows improved accuracy performance about 12.42 %.

The social need for stable hydrogen storage technologies that respond to the increasing demand for hydrogen energy is increasing. Among them, underground hydrogen storage is recognized as the most economical and reasonable storage method because of its vast hydrogen storage capacity. In Korea, low-depth hydrogen storage using artificial protective structures is being considered. Further, establishing corresponding safety standards and ground stability evaluation is becoming essential. This study evaluated the hydro-mechanical behavior of the ground during a hydrogen gas leak from a low-depth underground hydrogen storage facility through the HM coupled analysis model. The predictive reliability of the simulation model was verified through benchmark experiments. A parameter study was performed using a metamodel to analyze the sensitivity of factors affecting the surface uplift caused by the upward infiltration of high-pressure hydrogen gas. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the elastic modulus of the ground was the largest. The simulation results are considered to be valuable primary data for evaluating the complex analysis of hydrogen gas explosions as well as hydrogen gas leaks in the future.

The purpose of this study is to propose an economic new type rib by applying plate stiffening methods of the corrugated plate and the honey-comb sandwich panel to the steel deck plate and comparing the new type rib with existing open and closed ribs. The trapezoidal corrugated type, ㄹ type, honey-comb type and ㅁ type ribs are considered as new type ribs and the moment and the steel volume are compared with that of open ribs and closed ribs. The results shows that the honey-comb type and ㅁ type ribs are good in aspects of economic feasibility and the ㅁ type is better than the honey-comb type. To make the ㅁ type rib applicable to the steel deck plate, the sensitivity analysis and parametric study are performed and the system to select the proper section under the particular stress condition is established. The closed rib of real bridges is compared with the ㅁ type rib of the proposed system and it is known that the new type rib is more economic. Therefore, more economic steel deck plates can be achieved by using the system proposed in this study for the plate stiffened with the new ㅁ type rib.
