Geosynthetic reinforced earth wall was introduced about 20 years ago and many structures have been constructed. Especially, segmental concrete panel facing and friction tie system are the most popular system in Korea, and this friction tie was composed of high tenacity PET filament and LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene) sheath. Due to the lack of direct-test results, design coefficients of friction tie (creep reduction factor) had been determined by quoting the previous and the foreign reference data. This is an unreasonable fact for the use of friction ties. In this study, the creep tests were performed to evaluate the creep behavior of friction tie, and the reduction factor of creep was calculated for the correct design of geosynthetic reinforced earth retaining walls. From the test results, finally it was found that the allowable creep strength of friction tie is 60% of Tult during service life, and creep reduction factor is 1.67 for each grade of friction ties.

In recent years, there has been more reconstruction and redevelopment of apartments rather than efforts to consider alternative to extend the life time of the apartments. It is essential to try to develop ways to adequately maintain and to use the apartment facilities efficiently in order to preserve earth environment and the limited resource. However, tacking research on the effects obtained through remodelling and maintenance have interfered with the vitalizing of the market. The objective of this study is to propose criterions and methods with which to evaluate adequacy of maintenance management. A survey was performed to investigate important maintenance methods in order to obtain advices that can smoothly progress improve apartment maintenance management. This study applied AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) methods for reasonable maintenance in apartment. Through this study, the flow of apartment maintenance market is elevated to reaching the level in advanced nation.

Based on the DGPS radio wave measurement in the coast of the yellow-sea, south-sea and east-sea, the DGPS service regions in the korean coastal ferry route are analyzed in this paper. The impact of obstacles on the propagation due to the archipelago and island regions are measured and analyzed in the point of service region. The ocean-based DGPS reference stations provide the wide DGPS ocean service regions with signal strength more than $40dB{\mu}V/m$ and signal-to-noise ratio more than 10 dB. Based on the overlapping of the service regions between the DGPS reference stations, the DGPS services with good quality are provided in the coastal ferry route segments. In case of regions where the propagation obstacles are scattered, the increasingly good service can be provided under conditions of output power reinforcement and antenna efficiency enhancement.

Recently, new open-cut modular construction method, which is built within a 5~7m depth below the road, was proposed for the near-surface transit system to ensure the economic feasibility of underground structures. In this paper, the precast modular construction method was developed for the low-cost and rapid construction of underground structures. For the experiment on the flexural performance of the modular slab connections, a total of eleven specimens were fabricated according to the test variables; section shape, joint type, lap length, and transverse reinforcement. The test results were compared with those of the specimens without loop joints. To verify the performance of the slab connections, the 4-point loading tests of precast RC members with loop joints were conducted. As a result of the test, the flexural performance of the half-depth specimens with a 200mm lap length of loop joints were confirmed to be similar to those of the specimens without joints.

Slimfloor composite-beam systems could considerably reduce the story height of a building if the steel beam would be installed deep into the concrete floor slab. However, as the depth of the steel beam's installation is limited, it cannot cope with the various demands of building systems. To address this problem, a profiled steel beam section that can control the depth of the steel beam's and slabs' installation was developed in this study. Presented herein are the results of an experiment that was conducted focusing on the flexural behavior of the partially connected composite beams with profiled steel beams encased in composite concrete slabs. Five full-scale specimens with different slab types, with or without shear connection and reinforcement bars, were constructed and tested in this study. As a result, the shear bond stress without an additional shear connection was found to be $0.20{\sim}0.76N/mm^2$due to the inherent mechanical and chemical bond stress.

산업혁명 이후 인간사회의 산업화 및 도시화의 가속으로 지구온난화는 기후변화를 야기해 왔으며, 이로 인한 각종 부정적인 영향과 심각성은 날로 커져가고 있는 현실이다. IPCC(Intergoverment Panel on Climate Change)는 기후변화의 주범인 온실가스를 감축할 지라도 기후의 탄성 때문에 앞으로 수세기 이상 계속 진행될 것으로 전망하였으며, 기후변화 영향의 근원적 방지는 불가능하기 때문에 결국 수자원 관리 측면에서도 기후변화에 적응하기 위한 각종 적응전략 개발의 필요성을 강조하였다(IPCC, 2007). 최근 제방의 안정성에 대한 문제로 기후변화에 따른 홍수위 또는 담수 등의 조건으로 제외지의 고수위를 유지하게 되어 제체 내 침투가 일어날 수 있고, 수위급강하로 제방사면의 활동등이 일어날 수도 있으며 기초지반의 지지력이 부족하여 침하가 과다하게 발생하므로 제방의 소요높이를 유지할 수 없게 되어 월류로 인한 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구는 제방의 간극수압자료와 2차원 지하수침투 모형인 SEEP/W를 이용하여 안양천과 오산천의 침투거동을 분석하여 침투안정성을 평가하고자 하였다. 또한, 4대강 살리기 마스터 플랜(국토해양부, 2009)에 수록된 제방보강의 방법 중 누수에 대하여 제방고, 제방폭 및 제내지반고의 변화를 통한 지하수 침투거동을 모의, 분석하여 침투안정성을 평가하였다. 또한 기후변화에 따른 도시하천의 수문특성 변화분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 발생할 수 있는 극치 수문사상의 값을 반영한 설계기준 강화 수방시설 계획 등의 연구에 활용하며, 여러 가지 수문학적 불확실성에 의하여 가변 가능한 도시하천 유역의 취약성 평가 및 위험도 분석을 통한 기후변화 대응과 수공구조물 설계 및 수방전략 수립에 활용하고자 한다.

Order of reaction, rate constant, activation energy for vulcanization reaction, crosslinking density, and elastic constant of the network produced by sulfur curing were investigated on the SBR/BR blends containing silica and carbon black under same cure system. The reaction order was shown to be first order regardless of filler types. The carbon black filled rubber compounds showed higher rate constant compared to silica filled compounds. But activation energy appeared to be same regardless of filler type and rubber blend ratio. The crosslinking density and elastic constant is higher in the carbon black filled compound compared to silica filled compounds because of strong interaction between rubber and carbon black. On the other hand, crosslinking density and elastic constant were decreased with increasing the butadine rubber content in rubber blends. From the comparison of combined sulfur content in the vulcanized rubber, sulfur content in the silica filled compound become constant 20min later after reaction initiates but sulfur content in the carbon black filled compound become constant 10min later after reaction starts. The silica compound has a longer induction time ($t_2$) and optimum cure time($t_{90}$) compared to those of the carbon black filled compound.

In the rapidly aging society, the number of wheelchair users is increasing steadily. On the other hand, it is almost impossible for a disabled person using a wheelchair to use express buses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an express bus that can secure the rights of wheelchair users. For these special types of express buses, it is required to develop a special entrance and lift system. The development of a wheelchair entrance system for the express buses requires design modification, retrofit, and reinforcement of the bus frame. This study evaluated the structural integrity of an entrance system for wheelchair users using a finite element method. Torsional stiffness and modal analysis were performed through structural analysis. Through sensitivity analysis, optimization was performed to reduce the weight of the frame. These results on the wheelchair entrance system are expected to be utilized in the vehicle modification and welfare industries.

The NTR(New Tubular Roof) method was used to secure the stability of the tunnel and minimize the subsidence of the road. The tunnel was constructed at about 7.5 meters deep below the highway. with a width of about 21 meters. Following the NTR method, 13 steel pipes with a diameter of 2.3 meters were digged and pushed in longitudinally along the tunnel profile and cut out sides of pipes to connect to adjacent pipes, then filled the inside of pipes and the connected space between pipes with concrete to complete the lining of the tunnel to be excavated. As the steel pipes were digged in sequentially, the area of relaxation was connected to each other and behaves like a gradually widening tunnel. When the steel pipes were digged in to the widest points of the tunnel, the settlement rate of the road surface was increasing to the maximum as 2.2 mm and the total settlement until the lining construction was approximately 7.7 mm. After that, by excavating a tunnel inside the pre-installed lining, an additional settlement of about 4.3 mm was occurred, resulting in the total settlement of about 11.8 mm after completing of tunnel construction.

Since SBAS provides users with GNSS orbit, clock, and ionospheric corrections and integrity, the more precise positioning is possible. As the SBAS service area is expanded due to the development of the SBAS and the installation of the additional ground stations, there is a region where two or more SBAS messages can be received. However, the research on multi-constellation SBAS selection method has not carried out. In this study, we compared the result of positioning accuracy after applying the SBAS correction selected by using WAAS priority, EGNOS priority, or error covariance comparison method to LEO satellites in the regions where WAAS and EGNOS signals are transmitted simultaneously. When using WAAS priority method, 3D orbit error is smallest at 2.57 m. The covariance comparison method is outperform at the center of the overlap region far from each WAAS and EGNOS stations. In the eastern region near the EGNOS stations, the 3D orbit errors using EGNOS priority method is 8% smaller than the errors using the WAAS priority method.
