Accident occurred by gas explosion in house or building causes damage on lives and properties. To avoid secondary damage, this study drew area ratio of vent area with the experiment for pressure variation with vent area versus building volume by selection of model for different size and shapes of vent area generated by explosion. In addition, Appropriate model was chosen to predict the damage by minimum pressure with the experiment of opening are shapes. This model can prevent secondary damage with the selected vent area and shape to guarantee building safety.

The most common housing type in Korea is low-rise buildings with unreinforced masonry walls (UMWs) that have been known as a vulnerable seismic-force-resisting system (SFRS) due to the lack of ductility capacities compared to high lateral stiffness of an UMW. However, there are still a little experimental investigation on the shear strength and stiffness of UMWs and on the seismic performance of buildings using UMWs as a SFRS. In Korea, the shear strength and stiffness of UMWs have been evaluated with the equations suggested in FEMA 356 which can not reflect the structural and material characteristics, and workmanship of domestic UMW construction. First of all, this study demonstrates the differences in shear strength and stiffness of UMWs obtained from between FEMA 356 and test results. The influence of these differences on the seismic performance of UMW buildings is then discussed with incremental dynamic analyses results of a prototype UMW building that were selected by the site survey of more than 200 UMW buildings and existing test results of UMWs. The seismic performance assessment of the prototype UMW building are analyzed based on collapse margin ratios and beta values repesenting uncertainty of seismic capacity. Analysis results show that the seismic performance of the UMW building estimated using the equations in FEMA 356 underestimates both a collapse margin ratio and a beta value compared to that estimated by test results. Whatever the estimation is carried out two cases, the seismic performance of the prototype building does not meet the criteria prescribed in a current Korean seismic code and about 90% collapse probability presents for more than 30-year-old UMW buildings under earthquakes with 2400 return years.

Volcanic activity commonly creates a highly complicated volcanic complex due to the admixture of lava flow and sedimentation of volcanic ash. The Song-Gok site is composed of volcanic rocks that collapsed at the lower part of the slope, in combination with several discontinuities in and around a fault. The results of projection analysis indicated the possibility of plane, wedge, and toppling failure in the failure section. The results of discontinuity modeling using the Distinct Element Method (DEM) revealed a total displacement of 207 mm and a joint shear displacement of 114 mm. The yield surface zone was verified at the fault plane of the failure section. In geotechnical terms, volcanic rock slopes are characteristically vulnerable to failure because of differential weathering among the various rock types, the effect of groundwater based on the permeability of the rocks, and the presence of systematic joints generated by the cooling and contraction of lava. When considering the stability of a volcanic rock slope, it is necessary to consider data such as the geological features of the rock, as obtained through detailed geological survey, and variations in discontinuities and rock blocks.

In this study, scaled model tests were performed on blasting demolition of reinforced concrete structures and the experimental results were analyzed in comparison with the results of numerical analysis. The tests were designed to induce a progressive collapse, and physical properties of the scaled model were determined using scale factors obtained ken dimension analysis. The scaled model structure was made of a mixture of plaster, sand and water at the ratio determined to yield the best scaled-down strength. Lead wire was used as a substitute for reinforcing bars. The scaled length was at the ratio of 1/10. Selecting the material and scaled factors was aimed at obtaining appropriately scaled-down strength. PFC2D (Particle Flow Code 2-Dimension) employing DEM (Distinct Element Method) was used for the numerical analysis. Blasting demolition of scaled 3-D plain concrete laymen structure was filmed and compared to results of numerical simulation. Despite the limits of 2-D simulation the resulting demolition behaviors were similar to each other. Based on the above experimental results in combination with bending test results of RC beam, numerical analysis was carried out to determine the blasting sequence and delay times. Scaled model test of RC structure resulted in remarkably similar collapse with the numerical results up to 900㎳ (mili-second).

Seed characteristics such as seed size, seed shape and cotyledon color are important in relation to processing and cooking of soybean. Seed shape, water absorption rate, and alkali digestibility were evaluated for 28 local black soybean collections. Water uptake rate was low in small seed size at low temperature(5, 2$0^{\circ}C$). However, higher water absorption rate was observed at high temperature(40, 6$0^{\circ}C$) regardless of seed size. When seeds soaked up water, it reached to water absorption equilibrium after 10 hrs below 2$0^{\circ}C$, within 10 hrs at 4$0^{\circ}C$, and around 4 hrs at 6$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Significant positive correlations were observed between 100 seed weight and length, width and thickness of seed, respectively. Alkali digestibility value(ADV) was higher in large seed group than in small seed group. Among seed characteristics, significant positive correlation was shown between ADV and 100 seed weight, length, width, thickness and hilum length of seed, respectively. Soybean seed with green cotyledon showed higher ADV than that with yellow cotyledon.

A stochastic approach using continuous time Markov process is presented to model the one-dimensional nuclide transport in fractured rock media as a further extension for previous works［1-3］. Nuclide transport of decay chain of arbitrary length in the single planar fractured rock media in the vicinity of the radioactive waste repository is modeled using a continuous time Markov process. While most of analytical solutions for nuclide transport of decay chain deal with the limited length of decay chain, do not consider the case of having rock matrix diffusion, and have very complicated solution form, the present model offers rather a simplified solution in the form of expectance and its variance resulted from a stochastic modeling. As another deterministic way, even numerical models of decay chain transport, in most cases, show very complicated procedure to get the solution and large discrepancy for the exact solution as opposed to the stochastic model developed in this study. To demonstrate the use of the present model and to verify the model by comparing with the deterministic model, a specific illustration was made for the transport of a chain of three member in single fractured rock medium with constant groundwater flow rate in the fracture, which ignores the rock matrix diffusion and shows good capability to model the fractured media around the repository.

Probabilistic Risk Assessment considering statistically random variables is performed for the preliminary design of a Cable Stayed Bridge, which is Prestressed Concrete Bridge consisted of cable and plate girders, based on the method of Working Stress Design and Strength Design. Component reliabilities of cables and girders have been evaluated using the response surface of the design variables at the selected critical sections based on the maximum shear, positive and negative moment locations. Response Surface Method (RSM) is successfully applied for reliability analyses for this relatively small probability of failure of the complex structure, which is hard to obtain through Monte-Carlo Simulations. or through First Order Second Moment Method that can not easily calculate the derivative terms of implicit limit state functions. For the analysis of system reliability, parallel resistance system consisting of cables and plate girder is changed into series connection system and the result of system reliability of total structure is presented. As a system reliability, the upper and lower probabilities of failure for the structural system have been evaluated and compared with the suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes. The suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes reveals the unexpected combinations of element failures in significantly reduced time and efforts compared with the previous permutation method or system reliability analysis method, which calculates upper and lower bound failure probabilities.

최근 하천의 자연성 및 생태기능의 향상을 위해 매트류 호안공법의 적용이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 공법이 적용된 호안은 강수 및 하천수의 지속적인 유입으로 인해 앵커핀과 비탈면 간의 마찰력을 저하시킬 수 있다. 마찰력의 저하는 앵커핀의 고정능력을 저하시켜 매트가 들뜨는 현상을 발생시키고, 이로 말미암아 비탈면에 식재된 식생의 고사는 물론 비탈면의 슬라이딩 현상의 발생에 의해 비탈면 붕괴에 까지 이르게 하고 있다. 그러나 현재 호안매트와 함게 시공하는 앵커핀의 적용에 대한 구체적인 기준과 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 매트류 호안제품을 비탈면에 고정시키는 목적으로 사용하고 있는 앵커핀에 대한 인발특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 인발실험에 사용된 앵커핀은 실제 하천호안에 적용되고 있는 상용제품으로 형태가 다른 4가지 type을 실험에 사용하였으며, 앵커핀의 관입깊이(170mm, 250mm) 별로 인발실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 인발장치는 인발부에 로드셀을 장착하여 앵커핀과 결합이 가능하도록 하였으며, 인발시 발생하는 계측 값을 컴퓨터를 통해 출력이 가능하도록 제작하였다. 실험결과 4가지 형태의 앵커핀에 대한 관입깊이별 형태별 인발특성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 비탈면 및 매트의 고정효과가 우수한 앵커핀의 형태에 대해서도 파악할 수 있었다. 관입깊이별 최대 인발력은 두 변위(170mm, 250mm) 모두 Type 4가 337N, 594N 으로 가장 큰 인발력을 가지는 것으로 측정되었으며, 변위에 의한 인발력의 증가는 Type 2가 138%로 가장 큰 폭의 증가 값을 보였다. 또한 토양과 앵커핀의 마찰력 향상을 위해 하부가 돌출된 형태로 제작된 Type 2와 Type 4가 상대적으로 실험 후반부에서 최대 인발력이 발생하고 인발지속시간이 길게 나타나는 것으로 볼 때, 인발저항은 앵커핀 하부의 돌출면적에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

최근 기후변화에 따른 집중호우로 도시홍수의 피해가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히 인구가 밀집하고 교통량이 많은 대도시의 경우 동일한 호우에 대하여 녹지나 농경지 등에 비해 그 피해가 더 심각하다. 일반적으로 홍수 피해의 직접원인은 외수로 인한 피해와 내수로 인한 피해로 크게 구분할 수 있다. 외수피해는 주로 소하천 및 지천의 범람, 제방의 붕괴 등으로 발생한 것이며 내수피해는 배수로, 하수도 및 펌프장의 내수배제능력 부족이 주된 원인이다. 따라서 도시홍수를 효과적으로 방어하기 위해서는 우선적으로 내배수시설의 성능개선이 선행되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 내배수 시설 중 빗물펌프장은 흡수조로 우수를 유도한 후 펌프를 이용하여 하천으로 배수하고 있다. 우수를 원활히 하천으로 배수하기 위해서는 흡수조 내 흐름이 안정적으로 형성되어야 한다. 하지만 갑작스런 폭우 등으로 인하여 우수가 짧은 시간에 집중될 경우 흡수조 내에서 빠른 유속과 불규칙한 흐름이 발생하여 와류가 생성된다. 이러한 와류는 펌프 입구로 공기를 유입시켜 효율 저하의 원인이 되며, 공동현상을 발생시켜 펌프의 손상을 초래하기도 한다. 따라서 와류발생 저감장치(Anti-Vortex Device)를 설치하여 와류의 생성을 억제하고자 하는 연구들이 수행되었으며, 그 결과 다양한 형태의 와류발생 저감장치가 소개되었다. 하지만 와류발생 저감장치의 명확한 설계기준이 제시되어 있지 않으며, 와류발생 저감장치를 설치하였을 때 효율이 얼마만큼 증가하는가에 대한 실험적인 자료가 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원뿔 형태의 와류발생 저감장치 설치 전 후의 흐름특성을 분석하여 원뿔형태의 와류발생 저감장치가 흐름안정에 얼마나 효과가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) 기법을 이용한 유속분포와 와도를 분석하여 흐름 안정 효과를 정량적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 와류 발생을 저감할 수 있었으며, 정량적으로 와도가 감소하여 펌프 흡입량이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 향후 추가적으로 다양한 형태의 와류발생 저감장치에 대한 효과를 검토한다면 최적의 펌프 흡수조 설계에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
