In order to understand the mechanism of the cross-shore evolution of storm (barred) and normal (nonbarred) profiles of a sandy beach, the vertically two-dimensional laboratory experiment was performed with a movable bed. The beach profiles and free surface motion were measured under monochromatic wave conditions evolving the storm and normal beach profiles. The observation was conducted in the surf zone during the alternation of the two wave conditions to reach its quasi-equilibrium state. The sandbar-crest and trough and the steep berm were evolved due to the plunging breakers in the storm case, and the bar-trough was decayed due to the spilling breakers in the normal case. From the measurements, it was found that the storm wave case was in an erosion state and the normal wave case was in an accretion state. The strong undertow, which is a dominant factor of the offshore migration mechanism, was developed in the storm wave case, and the weak undertow was developed in the normal wave case. The skewness and the asymmetry of the nonlinear wave motion, which is a dominant factor of the onshore migration mechanism, was measured similarly in both cases.

The main fault zone of the Yangsan Fault, located in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula, is newly found at the Cheonjin-ri, Dudong-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, Korea. About 100 wide fault zone exposed along the Guryangcheon stream strikes N-S and dips over 70° toward east. The main fault zone is composed of N-S-striking gouge and breccia layers and enclosed lenses. Striations on the subvertical fault surfaces mainly indicate dextral slip, but moderate-angle minor reverse faults showing top-tothe-west shearing transect the foliated high-angle gouge and breccia layers. These indicate that the dextral slip along the fault, which is interpreted as the main movement of the fault, was followed by reverse slip. The fault zone is composed of N-S-striking gouge layers and enclosed, fractured lenses. Locally distributed NE-SW- to E-W-striking fault gouge layers with fractured lenses show asymmetric folds, indicating progressive dextral movement. Therefore, the exposed fault zone has a high internal complexity due to the combined effects of NNE-SSW-trending dextral shearing and E-W-trending shortening by compression. In addition, around main boundary fault between the western volcanic rocks and eastern sedimentary rocks offsets the overlying Quaternary fluvial conglomerate. This is a good example that understanding of internal structures of main fault zone (or fault core), such as the Yangsan Fault, plays an important role to study the Quaternary activity and to find the active fault.

Long caisson breakwaters can improve the structural safety of a caisson due to the wave dispersion effect which reduces the average wave force acting on one caisson. However, in order to make long caissons, there are many manufacturing and construction limitations. Recently, interlocking caisson systems, which are to form a long caisson by interlocking individual caissons with adjacent caissons, have been much attention. In the present study, a interlocking caisson system with shear-keys was proposed and the wave dispersion effect according to the shear-key was evaluated analytically. As a result, (1) Because of the asymmetric shape of the interlocking caisson, the structure behavior and the wave dispersion effect of one are also asymmetric. (2) The wave dispersion effect is more influenced by the distribution and characteristics of wave acting on each caisson rather than the shape of the shear-key such as shear angle, height, shear length ratio. (3) The interlocking caisson breakwater is almost the same behavior and wave dispersion effect as a fully integrated breakwater.

This paper presents the results of 2D and 3D finite element simulations conducted to analyze the effects of excavation depth (H), excavation width (L), and ground condition on the behavior of anchored earth retaining wall in inclined ground layers. The results of numerical analyses are compared with those of the site instrumentation analyses. Based on the results obtained, it appeared that 2D numerical analysis tends to overestimate the horizontal displacement of retaining wall compared to the 3D numerical analysis. When the excavation depth is deeper than 20m, it is found that 2D and 3D numerical analysis results of excavation work in soil ground condition are more different from the results in rock ground condition. For an accurate 3D numerical analysis, applying 3D mesh which has an excavation width twice longer than excavation depth is recommended. Consequently, 3D numerical analysis may be able to offer significantly better predictions of movement than 2D analysis.

From northeast to southwest, discontinuous sand ridges distribute on the western continental shelf of Korean Peninsular. The dimension of sand ridges is 3 to 21 m high, 3.1 to 6.8 km wavelength and 9-64 km long with 0.5 steep slope. they are probably originated and reformed by the intensity of tidal current according to the sea level rise. The characteristics of sand ridges revealed in study area are summarized as follows: (1) The sand ridges line up with the long axes of the tidal current ellipses, indicating a tidal control. (2) these are composed of two sedimentary sequences on the 3.5 kHz seismic profiles and core sediments. The upper sequence characterized by prolonged type is covered with thin veneer of massive fine sand(Mz, 2-3$\phi$) with Olive Gray(5Y 5/2). The lower sequence is characterized by internal reflector type with parallel and discontinuous. It consists of sandy mud or muddy sand(Mz, 5-7$\phi$) with laminar structures. the parallel internal reflectors are truncated on the slope of sand ridges. (3) Asymmetrical sand waves are superimposed on the sand ridges, and facing to the crest. However, symmetrical sand waves lie on the crest. Sand ridges having characteristics above is originated by scouring of tidal current, covered with coarase relict sediments, and modified by sadware.

A heavy fluid is injected to a rotating cylindrical container of flat or inclined bottom filled with homogeneous lighter fluid. Continuous flow-in and spreading patterns over the bottom of the container are observed and at the same time upper-layer motions induced by the movement of the heavy fluid are traced by thymol blue solution. Regardless of bottom geometry, the injected denser fluid is deflected toward "western wall" and continuous its path along the boundary with radial spreading which occurs in the bottom boundary layer to make a quite asymmetric flow. When the bottom contains a slope(${\beta}$-plane), increased pressure gradient causes the fluid move faster to produce a stronger Coriolis force. This makes the width of the flow narrower than that of f-plane. But, when the denser flow reaches the southern part of the container, a local-depth of denser fluid increases (much greater than the Ekman-layer depth) such that the spreading velocity along the wall is reduced and the interfacial slope increases to make the upper-layer adjust geographically to have oppositely directed upper-layer motion along the interfacial boundary. The role of the denser fluid in terms of vorticity generation in the upper-layer is such that it produces local topographic effect over the western half of the container and also induces vortex-tube stretching which is especially dominant in the f-plane.

In this study, we analyze the problem of wedge cracks, which are geometrically unsymmetrical in transversely piezoelectric materials. A single concentrated antiplane mechanical load and inplane electrical load are applied at the point of the wedge surface, while one concentrated antiplane load is applied at the crack surface. The crack surfaces are considered as permeable thin slits, where both the normal component of electric displacement and the electric potential are assumed to be continuous across these slits. Using Mellin transform method, the problem is formulated and the Wiener-Hopf equation is derived. By solving the equation, the solution is obtained in a closed form. The intensity factors of the stress and the electric displacement are obtained for any crack length as well as inclined and wedge angles. Based on the results, the intensity factors are independent of the applied electric loads. The electric displacement intensity factor is always dependent on that of stress intensity factor, while the electric field intensity factor is zero. In addition, the energy release rate is computed. These solutions can be used as fundamental solutions which can be superposed to arbitrary electromechanical loadings.

High-precision photometric observations were performed in BVI bandpasses using Am robotic telescope at Mt. Lemmon Observatory for two binary stars, which are reclassified as W UMa-type systems from ROTSE(Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment) follow-up observations and show peculiar light variations. In order to analyze W UMa-type eclipsing binaries systematically, the light curve analysis script using 2005 version of Wilson-Devinney binary code is constructed. The orbital inclinations of GSC2S84-1731 and GSC2576-0319 are $43.^{\circ}5\;and\;57.^{\circ}6$ from light-curve analysis, respectively. Spot model is applied to explain the asymmetric light curve for GSC2S84-1731 and the spot parameters are derived.

An analytical study was conducted to characterize the fatigue crack growth behavior of pre-cracked aluminum plates repaired with asymmetric bonded composite patch. For single-sided repairs, due to the asymmetry and the presence of out-of$.$plane bending, crack front shape would become skewed curvilinear started from a uniform through-crack profile, as observed from Previous studies. Therefore, for the accurate investigation of fatigue behavior, it is necessary to predict the actual crack front evolution and take it into consideration in the analysis. In this study, the fatigue analysis of single-sided repairs considering crack front shape development was conducted by implementing three-dimensional successive finite element method coupled with linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) concept, which enables the growing crack front to be directly traced and modeled in a step by step way. Through conducting present analysis technique, crack path of the patched plate as well as the fatigue life was evaluated with sufficient accuracy. The analytical predictions of both the crack front shape evolution and the fatigue life were in good agreement with the experimental observations.

지반과 구조물의 동적 상호작용은 건설분야에서의 중요한 현상으로, 특히 지반을 통해 인근구조물로 전달되는 진동은 구조물 자체의 구조적인 문제 뿐 아니라 그 속에 거주하는 사람이나 설비에 대한 안전성 또는 사용성에 나쁜 영향을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 진동을 저감시키기 위해, 지반내에 정상적인 진동전파를 방해하는 구조물을 시공하여 진동 저감효과를 만들어 내는 방법을 연구하였다. 이러한 연구의 발상은 다음과 같다. 충진지반에서의 지반진동의 진폭을 해석하면서 진동의 크기가 기저암의 위치에 따라 큰 영향을 받는 것을 알았고 이로부터 지반내에 인위적인 층을 만들수 있다면 지반진동의 크기를 변화시킬 수 있지 않을까라는 생각에서 본 연구를 시작하였다. 또한 지반 내에서의 정상적인 진동의 전파를 방해하기 위한 차진 구조물을 만드는 방법은 연약지반의 강도중대 또는 차수의 목적으로 주로 사용하고 있는 그라우팅공법의 사용이 가능할 것이므로, 기존의 그라우팅현장에서 만들어진 지반의 물성치들을 사용하여 경계요소법에 의한 수치해석적 방법을 택하였다. 본 연구에서는 그라우팅공법의 시공성에 관한 것은 포함되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 지반의 구조를 경사구조와 수평지반구조라는 두가지 특징적인 경우에 대해 검토하였다. 이중 경사진 기저암층을 가진 지반의 경우에는 기저암에서 진동의 비대칭적인 반사에 의해 수평기저암에서와는 달리 기저암의 한쪽에서 다른쪽에 비해 큰 진동이 발생한다. 그라우팅층의 효과를 검토하기 위한 연구의 순서는 일정주파수의 조화진동에 대해 먼저 여러 가지 크기의 그라우팅층과 함께 블록으로 볼 수 있는 크기의 그라우팅층에 대해 진동저감효과를 해석하였고, 이를 통해 보강층의 소요크기 및 최적위치를 구하였다. 사용된 물성치는 실제 지하철 건설현장에서 나타난 지반물성치 및 그라우팅후의 지반강도 및 전단파전파속도를 이용하였다. 또한 마지막에서 검토된 기차하중에 대한 효과를 알아보기 위해 사용된 기차운행에 의한 지반가속도도 역시 측정된 값을 사용하였다. 그러나 당시의 기차운행속도가 낮아 정상적인 운행에서는 더 큰 값이 나올 것으로 판단되었으나 측정된 값을 그대로 사용하였다.
