Seepage rate through the core zone of rockfill dam, estimated from graphical technique and the equation by Sakamoto (1998), is different from the real condition because of neglecting unsaturated flow. With existing method to estimate total seepage rate, it is difficult to understand the tendency of total seepage rate changes by reservoir water level change. Steady state seepage rate and the factors affecting the time needed to attain to changes of reservoir water level and saturated hydraulic conductivity and unsaturated hydraulic properties of core material are analysed thorough the 2-D steady and unsteady state seepage analyses of Soyanggang dam. Numerical results revealed that the seepage rate can be expressed by the linear equation form and the value of unsaturated soil parameter n is the most important factor affecting the seepage rate and the time needed to attain steady state. The estimation method presented in this study can be used by the designer and the personnel of dam safety for convenient estimation of seepage rate and quantitative analysis of measured seepage rate without 2-D and 3-D numerical analyses.

오염물의 혼합거동을 해석하기 위해 물리기반 모델을 이용하는 경우 모델을 구축하고 운용하는데 많은 시간과 재정이 소요되며 현장검증을 통한 검증이 반드시 필요하다. 하지만 데이터 기반 모델의 경우 축적된 데이터만으로도 예측을 수행할 수 있으며 물리기반모델에 비해 결정해야할 입력인자가 적어 모델운용이 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 다양한 데이터 모델 중 인공신경망(ANN) 모델은 데이터가 가지는 불확실성 및 비정상성, 복잡한 상호관련성에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 모델로 수자원 및 환경 분야에서 자주 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인공신경망 모델을 이용하여 지천유입이 있는 대하천의 수질인자 (pH, 전기전도도, DO, chl-a)를 예측하였다. 다른 데이터기반 모델과 같이 인공신경망 모델 또한 수집된 데이터 질에 크게 영향을 받으며, 내부 입력인자의 선택이 모델의 예측 결과에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이러한 인공신경망 모델의 특성을 바탕으로 예측모형의 정확도를 향상하기 위해서는 크게 데이터 처리부분과 모델구축 부분에서의 접근이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 처리 과정에서 연구대상지점의 각각의 수질인자가 가지는 분포 특성을 유지하기 위해 층화표츨추출법을 이용하여 데이터를 구성하였다. 모델의 구축 과정에서는 초기가중치 값의 영향을 줄이기 위해 앙상블기법을 사용하였으며, 좀 더 견고하고 정확한 결과를 예측하기 위해 탄력적 역전파알고리즘을 추가하였다. 추가적으로 합류 후 본류의 미 계측지역 수질 예측 정확도 향상을 위해 본류의 수질인자뿐만 아니라 지류의 수질인자를 입력자료로 사용하여 모의를 수행하였다. 또한 동일 구간에서 수행한 현장추적자실험 자료를 이용하여 수질인자의 분포특성을 비교, 검증하였다. 개발된 모델을 이용하여 낙동강과 금호강 합류부 하류의 수질인자를 예측한 결과 지류의 수질인자를 입력자료로 추가한 경우 예측의 정확도가 증가하였으며, 현장실험 자료를 통해 밝혀진 오염물의 거동현상을 인공신경망 모델로도 동일하게 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 인공신경모델을 이용한다면 물리기반 수치모델을 대체하여 지천으로 유입된 오염물의 거동을 정확하고 효율적으로 파악할 수 있을 것이다.

The load distribution and deformation of pile subjected to axial loads are evaluated by a load-transfer method. The emphasis is on quantifying the effect of coupled soil resistance that is closely related to the ratio of pile diameter to soil modulus $(D/E_s)$ and the ratio of total shaft resistance against total applied load $(R_s/Q)$, in rock-socketed drilled shafts using the coupled load-transfer method. The proposed analytical method that takes into account the soil coupling effect was developed using a modified Mindlin's point load solution. Through comparisons with field case studies, it was found that the proposed method in the present study estimated reasonable load transfer behavior of pile and coupling effects due to the transfer of shaft shear loading, and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of load deflections of drilled shafts.

The Chungpyung Dam is a 16 yearn old rock-fill dam for a Pumped storage hydro-Power plant, located in the middle of the Korean Peninsula. Since the dam is subjected to the daily water level fluctuation, such as rapid drawdown and refill, thus inducing a structural impact on the behavior of dam body, it draws attention of many engineering concerns. Traditionally, steady-state analysis was employed to investigate the seepage in the dam body, but in this study the seepage analysis was numerically performed by 2-D FEM thansient analysis. As a boundary condition for an analysis, the water level fluctuation was incorporated to simulate the daily change. As a res41t, the various seepage phenomena such as hydraulic gradient, seepage vector, and pore water pressure distribution were quantified at the corresponding time of interest as the water level rises and recedes. The seepage flux was also estimated and compared with the measured data which were both acceptable considering design criteria. The result proves that there is no sign of hazardous sources contributing to the possibility of piping, internal erosion and excess leakage through the dam body.

A DE-side LBP tilting pad journal bearing of a 1-stage overhung heat-pump compressor in a propylene process exhibited abnormal high-temperature behavior. Its temperature had been relatively high at $78^{\circ}C$ from the beginning of operation. In 2014, after three years of operation, it increased suddenly and reached $103^{\circ}C$. Installing a varnish removal equipment and others managed to stabilize the temperature at $95^{\circ}C$. We undertook a troubleshooting approach for reviewing the comprehensive status and integrity of the temperature design of the bearing. We performed lubrication and heat-balance analysis, based on the design engineering data and documents supplied by the OEM. For the base design data of DE-side TPJB, evaluating the effects of key design variables on bearing metal temperature showed that firstly, increasing the bearing clearance and supply oil flow-rate, and next, changing the oil type, and finally, increasing the machined pad clearance and offset, are more effective in reducing the bearing metal temperature. Furthermore, a clarification meeting with the OEM revealed that an incorrect decision had been made to decrease the bearing clearance to eliminate the SSV harshness issue, while not maintaining a sufficient oil flow-rate. We conducted a detailed retrofit design analysis, wherein we increased the oil flow-rate and bearing clearance by decreasing the preload. We predicted that the bearing temperature would decrease to $63^{\circ}C$ from $75.7^{\circ}C$ even at the rerate condition. Finally, after installing and operating a retrofit replacement bearing in 2015, the bearing temperature stabilized at a low temperature of $65^{\circ}C$. Currently (January. 2017), two year later, the bearing metal temperature remains at $65^{\circ}C$. Therefore, we can conclude that the abnormal high-temperature behavior of the bearing has been resolved completely.

A POD analysis based on time-resolved PIV measurements in a circulating water channel has been conducted to identify the skin friction reduction mechanism of outer-layer vertical blades. A recent PIV measurement indicated 2.73% and 7.95% drag reduction in the blade plane and the blade-in-between plane, respectively. In the present study, the influence of vertical blades array upon the characteristics of the turbulent coherent structures was analyzed by the POD method. It is observed that the vortical structures are cut and deformed by the blades array and that their temporal evolution is strongly associated with the skin-friction drag reduction mechanism in the turbulent boundary layer flow.

The prelaunch thermal transients in the cryogenic oxidizer tank of liquid propulsion rocket subjected to uniform heat flux from outside are numerically analyzed through thermodynamic equations and heat and mass transfer relations. The prelaunch stage is assumed to be composed of five idealized sub-stages including pressurization process by helium gas injection. The Peng-Robinson equation of state is utilized in the lumped analysis of ullage gas. The liquid region is divided into a number of horizontal layers of uniform properties to account for the thermal stratification. The computational result for the typical case shows that the temperature rise of liquid oxidizer is less than 1K and the adsorbed helium into the liquid is approximately 10g.

The thermo-flow field in road tunnel is influenced by some facts such as piston effect of vehicle's move, operation of ventilation facilities, natural wind and buoyancy effect of fire plume. Among those, piston effect is one of primary causes for formation of air flow in road tunnel and has an effect on initial direction of smoke flow in tunnel fire. In this study to analyze the unsteady flow in the tunnel caused by the run of vehicle, the experimental study of vehicle-induced unsteady flow on a reduced-scale model tunnel is presented. While the three types of vehicle shape such as basic type of rectangular shape, diamond-head type and stair-tail type are changed, the pressure and air velocity variations with time are measured. The rising ratio of pressure and velocity are in order of "basic type of rectangular shape > stair-tail type > diamond-head type". The experimental results would be good data for development of a numerical method on the vehicle-induced unsteady tunnel flow.

In this study, the flexural behavior of high strength concrete members with different curing condition of 90 MPa of compressive strength was investigated. Experimental parameters included normal and low temperature curing conditions, tensile steel amount and concrete compressive strength. 8 beam members were fabricated and flexural tests were carried out. Crack spacing, load-deflection relation, load-strain relation and ductility index were determined. Experimental results show that as the amount of rebar increases, the number of cracks increases and the crack spacing decreases. The higher the concrete strength, the smaller the number of cracks, but the effect is significantly smaller than the amount of rebar. As a result of comparison with the proposed average crack spacing in the design criteria, the experimental results are slightly larger than the results of the proposed formula, but the proposed formula does not reflect the concrete strength and curing conditions. The ductility index of normal temperature cured members was 3.36~6.74 and the ductility index of low temperature cured members was 1.51~2.82. The behavior of low temperature cured members was found to be lower than that of normal temperature cured members. As a result of comparing the ductility index with the existing studies similar to the experimental members, the ductility index of the high strength concrete member was larger than the ductility index of the ordinary strength concrete of the previous study. Further research is needed to understand more specific results.

We simulated the magnetization reversal behavior of submicron-thickness magnetic films by applying pulses of sub-ns-long durations and amplitudes along the easy axis. The films were rectangular and elliptical $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$, and their thickness was 2 nm and 4 nm. We observed different behaviors depending upon the shape and thickness of the films and found a normal non-switching in regions in which we expected complete switching after relaxation. In the elliptical film, the non-switching regions were found to be random and to be widely distributed throughout the switching map. The strong demagnetization field along the z-axis, the film thickness direction, is likely responsible for this abnormal behavior. In the rectangular film, the abnormal non-switching regions were less distributed than they were in the elliptical film due to edge domains resulting from the small $M_z$ or demagnetization field during the switching. Our simulation confirms that large demagnetization is detrimental to the ultra-fast magnetization reversal of magnetic ultra-thin films.
