In this study, slope stability was evaluated in consideration of unsaturated soil behavior to predict landslides. Samples were collected from a landslide site due to heavy rainfall during Typhoon Hinnamnoh. Soil moisture characteristic tests were performed based on the evaporation method using a swelling undisturbed sample and a remolded sample. Based on the hydraulic-mechanical behavior, two-dimensional infiltration and stability analyses were performed. As a result, from the two sample types, it is found that both behaviors exhibited clear differences in the results, and the behavior of the swelling undisturbed sample was able to predict the actual slope failure appropriately.

In this paper the model tests have been conducted and the results are compared with those by the theoretical methods to study the behaviors of the piled raft. The size of model box is 2.2m${\times}$2m${\times}$2m. The raft is made of rigid steel plate and piles made of steel pipes. Generally the bearing capacity of group piles is designed with only the pile capacities, and the bearing capacity of raft is ignored. But the uncertainty of pile-raft-soil interaction leads to conservative design ignoring the bearing effects of raft. In the case of considering the bearing capacity of raft, the simple sum of bearing capacity of raft and that of each pile cannot be the bearing capacity of piled raft. Because the pile-raft-soil interaction affects the behavior of piled raft. Thus the effects of pile-raft-soil interaction are very important in the optimal design. In this paper, the behaviors of piled raft are studied through model tests of 2${\times}$2, 2${\times}$3, and 3${\times}$3 pile groups. The spacing between piles is changed in the model tests. And the behaviors of free standing and piled raft are also studied.

This study is focused on the constitutive model in order to represent brittleness and dilatancy for cohesionless soils. The constitutive model was based on an anisotropic hardening rule derived from generalized isotropic hardening nile, which includes an appropriate hardening equation for the overall strain behavior at small to large strains. The yield surface is a simple cylinder type in stress space and it makes the model practically useful. Hence dilatancy behavior in cohesionless soils could be modeled reasonably. A peak stress ratio was defined in order to model brittle stress-strain relationships. An optimized design methodology was proposed on the basis of real-coded genetic algorithm in order to determine parameters for the proposed model systematically. The material parameters were then determined by that algorithm. In order to verify the proposed model, triaxial tests were performed under $K_0$ conditions far weathered soils. In comparison with the triaxial test results under $K_0$ conditions, the proposed model could calculate appropriately the actual effective stress behavior on brittle stress-strain relationships and dilatancy.

The objective of this study is to perform finite element analyses(FEA) using the anisotropic hardening constitutive model on the basis of the total stress concept. An anisotropic hardening model was then developed to solve the problem and its mathematical formulations and experimental verifications were also described. In a companion paper, the constitutive equation will be formulated for accurate and efficient solutions of FEA, and coded into a nonlinear analysis program, and finally a field problem will be analyzed. The proposed model includes the failure criterion of a von Mises type and the anisotropic hardening rule based on the generalized isotropic hardening description, which can model the nonlinearity and the anisotropy of the stress-strain relationship. As a result this study could verty the experimental results for UU triaxial tests, CU triaxial tests for overconsolidated samples, and anisotropic loading tests with the rotation of principal stress axes for $K_0$consolidated samples.

The purpose of this study was to compare the distributing pattern of stress on the finite element models of two units implant prosthesis with one angulated placement of two implant fixtures. The two unit implant crowns simulated to mandibular first and second molars were made. The two kinds of finite element models were designed according to angulation of fixture ($4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$) : Model 1($15^{\circ}$ buccally angulated placement of one fixture on second molar area), Model 2($15^{\circ}$ lingually angulated placement of one fixture on second molar area). Axial loads of 200N were applied to the center of central fossa and to distance of 2mm and 4mm apart from the center of central fossa. Von-Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the fixtures, and buccolingual section of implants. The results were as follows: 1. Under axial loading at the central fossa, the stress was distributed along the straight fixture except apical portion, while on buccally or lingually angulated placement, the highest stresses were concentrated in the neck portion on the opposite side of the angulated fixture. 2. With offset distance increasing, the stresses were concentrated greater in buccal neck of lingually angulated fixture than in lingual neck of buccally angulated fixture. From the above results, in designing of the occlusal scheme for implant prosthesis with the angulated fixture, occlusal contacts should be placed to distribute stress axially in maximum intercuspation and to avoid offset force during eccentric movements.

The error networks due to the measuring systems and the test fixture must be previously calibrated in order to characterize the microwave devices. In this paper, it is presented a new method to characterize the error networks in which only two different microstrip lines are used for the calibration. Once each length of two calibrat- ing microstrip lines is accurately defined, the calibrated data can be easily obtained without acknowledgement for the propagation constant. The end effect is not considered when fabricated the microstrip lines used to calibration. The ATF13736 GaAs MESFET is characterized by means of the calibrating procedure with this method. The range of measuring frequency is 2 to 18 GHz, and the bias voltage and current are $V_{DS}$ =2.5V, $I_{DS}$ =20mA, respectively. Compared the calibrated data with data sheet, it is showed that the magnitude is nearly agreed with each other and the phase is deviated by 0.1 to 12 degrees in lower frequencies.

A statistical methodology is developed for calculating the nuclear fuel pod internal pressure of Korean PWR fuel in order to reduce over-conservatism of the current KAERI deterministic methodology. The developed statistical methodology employs the response surface method and Monte Carlo calculation. The simple regression equation for the rod internal pressure is derived by taking into account the various fuel fabrication-related and fuel performance model-related parameters. The validity of the regression equation is examined by the F-test, $R^2$-method and Cp-test The internal pressure predicted by the regression equation is in good agreement with that calculated by he computer code using the KAERI deterministic methodology. The distribution of the internal pressure from the Monte Carlo calculation is found to be normal. Comparison of the 95/95 rod internal pressure predicted by the developed statistical methodology with the maximum rod internal pressure by the deterministic methodology shows that the developed statistical methodology reduces significantly over-conservatism of the deterministic methodology.

In this study, I investigate the formation process of the American presbyterian missionary architecture in Cheong Ju area from 1900 to 1945, which we may think 'the part of Korean modern architecture'. I have examined and analyzed the 18 buildings for the sake of the interpretation with the words of formation process and characteristics . And I can put my idea in order as follows. Firstly, the formation process is 1) buy and modify a Korean style (thatch or tile roofed) building for their need and use it as a gate quaters or house, church, hospital, school, book store, 2) build a Korean style (tile roofed) building and use it-house, hospital, school, 3) build a Western style (timber structured and zinc roofed) building and use it- church, 4) build a Western style (masonry structured and tile or zinc roofed) building and use ithouse, church, school and hospital. Secondly, the characteristics is 1) In the Korean style building, the missionaries change into the function to match with their purpose. they modify the Korean style timber structure by influx of building material-brick, glass, carpet etc. they occupy into the Korean existing residential area. 2) In the Western style building, the missionaries build the house correspond with their living pattern. they build the church with the eclectic of Western and Korean timber frame. and also build the house and hospital with the eclectic of Western and Korean masonry structure. their building located in the isolate hill separated from the existing Korean residential area.

Sodium borohydride($NaBH_4$) known as the material of hydrogen generation and storage can produce the hydrogen via catalytic hydrolysis. This protide chemical could be used in the hydrogen supply system for residential and mobile fuel cells, and thus many researches and developments regarding to these chemicals and decomposition reactions have been implemented. We experimented the hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$ alkaline solution by metal oxide-supported PGM(platinum group metal) catalysts and measured the generation rate of hydrogen which is product of decomposition reaction. We compared oxides as catalyst supports, and the precious metals, Pt and Ru for the catalysts and studied the effects of amounts of catalyst added and $NaBH_4$ concentrations on the hydrogen generation rates and patterns.

According to the statistical data, stroke is about 13.9% of leading causes of death. Some herbal medicines including Paeonia lactiflora, Angelica gigas nakai and Prunus persica, etc., had been reported to be effective in preventing stroke and mBHT (Modified BoyangHwanoTang) was an advanced prescription used in Korean clinics. Orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) is useful for patients suffering from dysphagia, motion sickness, repeated emesis and mental disorders. Further, drugs exhibiting satisfactory absorption through the mucosa intended for immediate pharmacological action could be advantageously formulated in ODT. The aim of this study was to develop the most efficient ODT formulation of mBHT. Corresponding herbal medicines comprising mBHT were extracted with water for 3 hr at 95~$100{^{\circ}C}$ and then dried. mBHT extract was obtained with about 30% of yield. Subsequently, some pharmaceutical excipients such as spray-dried lactose, crospovidone, glyceryl behenate and/or cogrinded-treated arabia gum were used to achieve an immediate disintegration of mBHT ODT in oral cavity. The requirements of ODT with mechanical strength sufficient to stand the rigors of handling and capability of disintegrating within a few seconds in contact with saliva are indispensable. mBHT ODT prepared by the wet granulation method showed a disintegration time of below 30 sec.
