In completely weathered granite gneiss,8 of 40cm cast-in-situ concrete piles are constructed, and static pile load tests are executed on the piles to study the bearing behavior of rock-socketed piles. Subsurface explorations are carried out on the test site in three phases, in which 14 borehole investigations as well as the seismic investigation are performed. Rock socketd depths of the piles in the weathered rocks are varied as 3m, 6m and 9m to separate the shaft resistance from the end bearing resistance, and for a couple of piles, styrofoam of 10cm thickness is installed under the pile point to eliminate the effect of the end resistance. Strain gages are instrumented on re-bars to pick-up the transferred loads along the pile length. From the results of the pile load tests, the allowable shaft resistance and the allowable end bearing values of weathered rocks are proposed as $8.6t/m^2\;and\; 84t/m^2$, respectively. The empirical equation relating the elastic modulus of rock mass with the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock specimen is also proposed for the weathered rocks.

Many ground subsidence accidents have happened in Korea. The accident was caused by the subsidence and leakage of the deteriorated sewage pipe. This study aims to establish the empirical data of the ground penetration radar(GPR) detection for ground subsidence. A test bed was also manufactured for the same purpose. The GPR detection variables are embedment depth and horizontal distance of embedded cast iron pipe and expanded polystyrene(EPS). From the detection results, the EPS embedded by a depth of 1.5m was difficult for detection. The EPS closely embedded to the cast iron pipe within a 0.5m distance had a very strong cast iron pipe signal. Therefore, the detection was impossible. This study developed an image processing program, called the GPR image processing program(GPRiPP), to process the GPR detection results. Its major function is the gain function, which amplifies the wiggle wave signal. Compared to the existing programs, the GPRiPP is capable of showing a similar image processing performance.

Model tests for the ultimate pullout resistance of anchorages and investigation of failure behaviors in cohesionless soil have been conducted. The factors affecting the anchorage are mostly the geometry of the system, and soil properties of sands. The main conclusions of the experimental work were as follows. 1. The load - displacement relationship can be a form of parabolic curve for all plates. 2. The change in ultimate pullout resistance of anchor is mostly affected by embedment ratio and size of anchor, and influenced to a lesser degree by its shape. 3. Critical embedment ratio which is defined as the failure mode changes from shallow to deep mode is increased with increasing height of anchor. 4. For a constant anchor height, as the width of anchor increases the ultimate pullout resistance also increases. However, considering the efficiency of anchor for unit area, width of anchor does not appear to have any sigrnificant contribution on increasing anchor city. 5. Anchor capacity has a linear relation to sand density for any given section and the rate of change increases as the section increases. Critical depth determining the failure patterns of anchor is decreased with a decrease of sand density. 6. With increasing inclination angle, size of anchor, and decreasing embedment ratio, the ultimate pullout resistance of anchor under inclined loading is significantly decreased. 7. The ultimate pullout resistance of double anchor, a method of improving single of anchor capacity, is influenced by the center - to - center spacing adjacent anchors. It is also found that tandem and parallel anchor rigging arrangements decrease the anchor system capacity to less than twice the single anchor capacity due to anchor interference.

This paper analyzed characteristic of temperature change as well as bottom of tunnel with thermometer according to tunnel length and region during one year. And it measured temperature distribution near tunnel portal. In the paper it was known that tunnel entrance and exit have different characteristic temperature distribution in accordiance with bottom of tunnel per tunnel length. Temperature of tunnel changed from tunnel exit to fifty meter and distribution of tunnel temperature was established uniform regardless of tunnel length. But temperature distribution of tunnel changed in tunnel entrance differ from tunnel exit in the location of one hundred twenty five meter and one hundred fifty meter. Cold air inflowed from tunnel entrance have influenced with the location of one hundred twenty five meter and one hundred fifty meter.

In this study, external and internal pit growth rate model and external non-linear regression corrosion model were proposed by measuring pit depths and evaluating various soil factors known to contribute to the corrosion for metallic water pipes. Average pit depths of external and internal for metallic water pipes were measured 1.38 mm and 2.13 mm, and internal pit growth rate also fasted twice than external pit growth rate. This means the corrosion potential of water quality was higher than soil. The corelation between external corrosion rate and each soil corrosion factor was low. However, proposed external non-linear regression corrosion model considering all soil corrosion factors showed a little higher correlation ($R^2=0.46$) than conventional model.

자기누설탐상시스템은 지하에 매설된 가스관에서 발생되는 부식이나 크랙 또는 기계적 변형을 탐지하기 위한 방법으로 비파괴검사 방법의 하나이다. 가스관은 Nd자석에 의해 착자가 되고, 가스관에 부식이 발생했을 경우 가스관의 단면적이 작아지게 되어 자기누설이 발생하며, 발생된 자기누설을 홀센서로 검출하여 부식의 유무, 크기, 모양 등을 판별하게 된다. 가스관에는 한 개의 독립적인 부식도 있지만, 다수의 부식이 밀집되어 나타나기도 한다. 다수의 부식이 밀집되었을 경우 부식간의 거리에 따라 하나의 부식으로 판정되기도 하며, 그에 따라 부식의 깊이를 판정하는데 있어 정확성이 저감된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수의 부식이 밀집되어 발생할 경우 자기적 영향을 분석하고, 깊이 판정에 있어 정확성을 높이기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해서 실제 결함을 제작하여 실험하고, 해석하여 비교하였으며 밀집된 다수의 부식에 의한 자기적 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다.

The remote field eddy current (RFEC) inspection was performed on the ductile cast iron pipes with nominal outer diameter of 100mm, which were machined with various shapes and sizes of defects. Ductile cast iron pipes which are used as water supply pipe have the non-uniform thickness and asymmetric cross section due to relatively high degree of allowable errors during the manufacturing processes. These characteristics of ductile cast in pipes cause the long range background noises in RFEC signals along the pipe. In this study, tile machined defects in pipes were effectively classified by the moving window average (MWA) method which eliminated the long-range noise. The voltage plane polar plots (VPPP) method was used to quantitatively evaluate the depth and circumferential degree of defects. The VPPP signatures showed that the angle between defect signature and the normalized in-phase component on the VPPP is linear to the depth of defects. The nondestructive RFEC technique proved to be capable of quantitatively evaluating the machined defects of underground water supply pipe.

Temperature prediction in asphalt pavements is the one of most important factors for estimating the pavement response and predicting the pavement performance in the mechanistic-empirical pavement design. A study on temperature prediction procedure with variation of time and depth in asphalt pavements was conducted using field monitoring data. After selecting the temperature monitoring sections, the temperature sensors have been installed in different depths and the temperature data have been collected in every one hour. The developed pavement temperature prediction model was calibrated using field monitoring temperature data. The predicted temperatures were compared with measured temperatures at different seasons in selected sections. The results showed that the solar absorptivity and emissivity values in the fall is different from the values in other seasons. The predicted temperatures agree well with the measured temperatures at a wide range of temperatures. The temperature differences between each other fall in the range of ${\pm}3^{\circ}C$. It is also found that the regional characteristics did not affect the temperature prediction procedure.

In this study, the impact characteristics of subsea pipelines that were installed in various soil types and burial depths were evaluated by a numerical method. An impact scenario replicated a dropped ship anchor that fell vertically and impacted an installed subsea pipeline. In order to calculate the impact force through terminal velocity, FLUENT, a computational fluid dynamic program and MDM (Moving Deforming Mesh) technique were applied. Next, a dynamic finite element program, ANSYS Explicit Dynamics, was used for impact analysis between the anchor and pipeline (or, subsea if they were buried). Three soil types were considered: loose sand, dense sand and soft clay by applying the Mohr-coulomb model to the seabed. The buried depth was assumed to be 0 m, 1 m and 2 m. In conclusion, a subsea pipeline was the most stable when buried in dense sand at a depth of 2 m to prevent impact damage.
