This is the study for developing the hetero-core optical fiber sensors which are purpose to measure the prestress of PSC bridges during the life cycle period. The goal of this study is to improve the resolution of hetero-core sensors. As a result of the test, it is possible to measure the displacement in $2{\mu}m$ increments. In other words, if the length of the sensor module is 30cm, it is possible to measure the prestress variations in 0.2MPa increments at specified compressive strength of concrete(fck) of 40MPa by Hook's Law. So it can be useful for development of a sensor module measuring internal prestress measurement.

진해 용원해역은 부산 신항 개발사업의 일환으로 추진된 북 부두조성 사업 및 항만 배후단지 조성사업으로 전면 해역이 매립되어 원활한 해수흐름이 차단되고 송정천 하구 지점의 견마도 북쪽 통로를 이용한 선박이동만이 가능한 좁고 긴 수로형태로 변형된 국내에서 이례적인 폐쇄성 수역으로 변형되었다. 용원수로의 평균 너비는 약 100 m, 길이는 3,600 m정도로 세장비가 아주 큰 수로에 해당되며, 용원수로의 조석 유입유출은 뚜렷한 일차원적 흐름으로 간주할 수 있으며 입구에서 용원수로 내부로 갈수록 조석유입은 점진적으로 감소하여 흐름이 정체되는 양상을 보이고 있다. 이로 인한 지형적, 물리적 특성 때문에 외해와의 해수교환이 제한되어 적은 양의 오염물질이 유입되어도 유입부하가 지속될 경우 수로 바닥에 축적될 가능성이 매우 크며, 이는 수질에 대한 악영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 따라서 폐쇄성 수역인 용원수로를 장기간 모니터링하고 수질에 끼치는 영향을 파악하여 적절한 관리방안을 마련하는 것이 중요하다고 볼 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 과거 축적된 수환경 자료와 실제로 용원수로 내에서 측정된 자료들을 기반으로 수질변화에 대한 시 공간적인 양상을 분석하였다. 또한 용원수로로 유입되는 토구를 전수조사하고, 강우시와 비강우시 토구 모니터링을 통해 육상에서 기인하는 오염원을 분석하였으며, 용원수로 내에 유입된 오염물질 거동 분석을 위해 추적자 실험을 실시하였다. 특히 용원수로 내 오염도가 높은 내측지점에서 추적자 투입하여 드론 영상을 통해 그 거동을 분석하고, 수로 내로 유입되는 오염원을 조사하여 폐쇄성 정체수역에서의 수질영향을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 용원수로 내 수질영향에 대한 관리방안을 모색하고자 하였다.

The occurrence of ground subsidence and sinkhole in downtown areas, which threatens the safety of citizens, has been frequently reported. Among the various mechanisms of a sinkhole, soil erosion through the damaged part of the sewer pipe was found to be the main cause in Seoul. In this study, a random forest model for predicting the occurrence of sinkholes caused by damaged sewer pipes based on sewage pipe information was trained using the information on the sewage pipe and the locations of the sinkhole occurrence case in Seoul. The random forest model showed excellent performance in the prediction of sinkhole occurrence after the optimization of its hyperparameters. In addition, it was confirmed that the sewage pipe length, elevation above sea level, slope, depth of landfill, and the risk of ground subsidence were affected in the order of sewage pipe information used as input variables. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the preparation of a sinkhole susceptibility map and the establishment of an underground cavity exploration plan and a sewage pipe maintenance plan.

희귀식물(LC)인 낙지다리(Penthorum chinense Pursh.)는 '수택란', '차근채'로 불리며 약용으로 사용되어 왔으나, 최근 하천개수 및 습지매립 등으로 자생지가 파괴되어 개체수가 급감하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 낙지다리의 종 보존 및 활용을 위하여 종자의 최적발아조건을 확인하고자 수행하였다. 종자는 2017년 국립백두대간수목원에서 수집되어 연구에 사용되기 전까지 건조 상태(15℃, 15% RH)로 시드뱅크(-20℃, 40% RH)에 저장하고 있었다. 종자의 최적발아조건을 확인하기 위하여, 항온과 변온 66조건에서 발아율과 최종발아율의 50%가 발아하는데 소요되는 일 수(T₅₀)를 조사하였으며, 생리적 휴면 타파를 위해서 GA₃(20~1000 mg·L^-1) 처리 후 발아율과 T₅₀을 조사하였다. 그리고 GA₃ 처리에 따른 유묘 생장에 대한 GA₃의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 종자 치상 30일 후 유근·아 생장에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 낙지다리 종자는 항온보다 변온에서 발아율 증가와 T₅₀ 감소를 보였다. 특히 낮/밤의 온도 차가 11~25℃일 때, 85%이상의 발아율을 보였고, 그 이상의 온도차이가 나면 발아율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. T₅₀은 온도차가 증가할수록 감소하여, 발아가 균일하며 빨라지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 GA₃ 처리시 생리적 휴면 타파가 진행되어 발아율(79.8%~100%)과 발아속도가 증가(T₅₀ 감소)함을 확인하였으나, GA₃ 100mg·L^-1 이상의 농도에서는 무처리(21.2m)에 비하여 유근의 길이 생장을 0.11~6.88mm로 지연시켰다.

Emergency tracks are necessary in case a broken down train evacuates, a train needs to make way for a faster train behind it, or a train suddenly stops and following trains must avoid colliding with it. Magnetic Levitated (maglev) Trains can change track to enter an emergency track using a segmented switch or a traverse switch. On a traverse switch, a train can change its track when the part of the track that the train is on moves to the other track. Currently manufactured Maglev trains have two bodies and the total length is 25 meters. If a traverse switch is used, it will only require 30 meters of track to move the train to the other track, so, when it comes to efficiency of costs and space, the traverse switch surpasses the articulated switch. Therefore, in this paper, an optimized design to secure structural safety and weight lightening is suggested. To achieve these results, the heights of the piled concrete and girders which are both placed on the top of the traverse switch, are set as design variables. The Finite Element Method (FEM), in application of kriging and in the design of the experiments (DOE), is used. Maximum stress, deformation, and structural weight are compared with the results, and through this process structural safety and weight lightening is proven.

In RC structure, sufficient anchorage of reinforcement is necessary for the member to produce the full strength. Generally, conventional standard hook is used for the reinforcement's anchorage. However, the use of standard hook results in steel congestion, making fabrication and construction difficult. Mechanical anchor offers a potential solution to these problems and may also ease fabrication, construction and concrete placement. In this paper, the required characteristics and the design considerations of mechanical anchor were studied. Also, the mechanical anchor was designed according to the requirements. To investigate the pull-out behavior and properness of mechanical anchorage, pull-out tests were performed. The parameters of tests were embedment length, diameter of reinforcement, concrete compressive strength, and spacing of reinforcements. The strengths of mechanical anchor were consistent with the predictions by CCD method. The slip between mechanical anchor and concrete could be controlled under 0.2mm. Therefore, the mechanical anchor with adequate embedment could be used for reinforcement's anchorage. However, it was observed that the strength of mechanical anchors with short spacing of reinforcements was greatly reduced. To apply the mechanical anchor in practice (e.g. anchorage of the beams reinforcements in beam-column joint), other effects that affect the mechanical anchor mechanism, such as confinement effect of adjacent member from frame action or effects of shear reinforcement, should be considered.

The near surface mounted (NSM) FRP strengthening method has been conventionally applied for strengthening the deteriorated concrete structures. The NSM strengthening method, however, has been issued with the problem of limitation of the cutting depth which is usually considered as concrete cover depth. This may be related with degradation of bonding performance in long-term service state. To improve the debonding problem, in this study, the Stirrup partial-cutting NSM (SCNSM) strengthening method using CFRP plate was newly developed. SCNSM strengthening method can be effectively applied to the deteriorated concrete structure without any troubles of insufficient cutting depth. To experimentally verify the structural behavior, the flexural test of the concrete beam by using the SCNSM strengthening method was conducted with the test variable as the strengthening length (32%, 48%, 70%, 80%, 96% of span length). In the result of the test, the NSM and SCNSM strengthened specimen showed similar structural behavior with load-deflection, mode of failure. Additionally, there was no apparent structural degradation by the stirrup partial-cutting. Consequently, it was evaluated that the SCNSM strengthening method can be useful for seriously damaged concrete structures that is hard to apply the conventional NSM strengthening method for increasing the structural capacity.

Purpose: This study was to investigate how the crestal module design could affect the level of marginal bone stress around dental implant. Materials and methods: A submerged implant of 4.1 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length was selected as baseline model (Dentis Co., Daegu,Korea).A total of 5 experimental implants of different crestal modules were designed (Type I model : with microthread at the cervical 3 mm, Type II model : the same thread pattern as Type I but with a trans-gingival module, Type III model: the same thread pattern as the control model but with a trans-gingival module, Type IV model: one piece system with concave transgingival part, Type V model: equipped with beveled platform). Stress analysis was conducted with the use of axisy mmetric finite element modeling scheme. A force of 100 N was applied at 30 degrees from the implant axis. Results: Stress analysis has shown no stress concentration around the marginal bone for the control model. As compared to the control model, the stress levels of 0.2 mm areas away from the recorded implant were slightly lower in Type I and Type IV models, but higher in Type II, Type III and Type V models. As compared to 15.09 MPa around for the control model, the stress levels were 14.78 MPa, 18.39 MPa, 21.11 MPa, 14.63 MPa, 17.88 MPa in the cases of Type I, II, III, IV and V models. Conclusion: From these results, the conclusion was drawn that the microthread and the concavity with either crestal or trans-gingival modules maybe used in standard size dental implants to reduce marginal bone stress.

This study was intended to investigate injury rates of landscape trees planted in the reclaimed seaside areas and to analyse their causes in planting environment. The planting environment such as soil properties, reclaimed depth of soil, soil hardness, salt consistency of soil, and drainage system were surveyed in 8 reclaimed seaside areas in the middle and southern regions of the country. Injury rates of 42 species, 1,233 trees and growth of branches in 6 species. 130 trees were measured and analysed to fond out salt-resistant trees in the reclaimed lands. The results of the survey are as follows; the average injury rate of evergreen trees was 32%. which was much lower than that of deciduous trees as 52%. The lower injured trees in the 8 reclaimed lands were Pinus thunbergii, Pinus parvinora. Juniperus chinensis 'Kaizuka', Pinus koraiensis, Acer trifdum, Koelreuteria paniculata and Metasequoia glyptostroboides. The higher injured trees were Acer palmatum, Magnolia kobus. Lagerstroemia indica, Diospiros kaki, Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Sorbus commixta, Prunus yedoensis, Pinus desinora, Chaenomeles sinensis, Albizzia julibrissin and Zelkowa serrata. At least the mounding of 1.7m depth of soil is needed from the tidal saline soil to the roots of trees to protect trees from salt injury Roots of trees were found to have infiltrated to 0.77m under the soil of which solidity was over 4.5kg/㎥. And 22 of total 25 soils were acid from pH 3.72 to pH 5.85. Injury rate of trees was much higher when they were detached from the sea, and planted on the drainage.
