This study was carried out to grade and evaluate the intertidal mudflat by birds. The mudflat was graded by two methods such as the scoring and ranking. First, for the scoring of the mudflat, five factors were estimated; population size, the number of protected species, the individuals of protected birds, the number of species(or subspecies) over 1% level of the survival population, and 1% level of the domestic population. After scoring of these five factors, the grade was scored by total. Second, for the ranking, six factors were estimated; population size, the density of birds, the index of species diversity, species richness, species evenness, and population stability. After ranking of these six factors, the grade was relatively ranked. Five grade by scoring was the important mudflat for the value of international preservation, and the most mudflats of the estuary gained V grade. The higher grades by ranking were the mudflats of Nakdonggang and Mankyunggang river estuaries. And the inner mudflats were more valuable than the outer mudflats in Mankyunggang & Dongjingang river estuaries. The grading of the mudflat by birds can be used for estimating and appointing of the important mudflats, and suggested the objective of criteria for the effective preservation and management.

The ecotoxicity test method using Undaria pinnatifida spore is challenging to use throughout the year. Since U. pinnatifida female gametophytes can be cultured in the laboratory, they can be used for ecotoxicity testing at any time. Changes in female gametophyte survival rate and relative growth rate in U. pinnatifida exposed to various environmental conditions were analyzed. The female gametophyte of U. pinnatifida was exposed to salinity (5~40 psu), temperature (5~30℃), pH (4~10), and light intensity (0~120 μmol photon m^-2 s^-1). Based on the highest average value, the survival rate of female gametophyte was highest at a temperature of 20℃, salinity 27.5 psu, pH 8, and light intensity 30 μmol photon m^-2 s^-1. And the relative growth rate was highest at a temperature of 15℃, salinity 35 psu, pH 9, and light intensity of 60 μmol photon m^-2 s^-1. As a result of this study, the method using the optimal conditions for the survival rate and relative growth rate is expected to be a practical test method that can complement the current method.

This paper described a results of direct shear test and pullout test by using soil supported by drilled shafts in order to evaluate the effect of relative density and fines content on pullout resistance performance of drilled shafts. The result of direct shear test showed that the variation characteristics of internal friction angle and cohesion could be confirmed quantitatively. The result of pullout test also showed that the effect of relative density and fines content on pullout resistance performance of drilled shafts was confirmed. That is, the contribution of the internal friction angle and cohesion of soils on the pullout resistance performance of drilled shafts was found to vary, when the fines content was about 13% based on results direct shear test and pullout test. Therefore, at design of drilled shafts, the effect of skin friction resistance should be considered on the influence factor of strength parameters ($c-{\phi}$) according to the fines content of soil.

The purpose of this study is to develop and utilize new assessment of liquefaction potential based on DSC(disturbed state concept) and dissipated energy concept. The term liquefaction has suddenly loses its shear strength and behaves like a fluid. Liquefaction has been a source of a major damage during severe earthquake. In this study, the cyclic undrained behavior of Joomoonjin strand is investigated by using an automates triaxial testing device(C. K. Chan type). In order to assess liquefaction potential of saturated strand, DSC method and energy method are applied for the experimental data. The use of DSC method and energy method to define the liquefaction potential is verified through laboratory testis of cyclic triaxial test on saturated sand specimens. Based on the analytical results of DSC method, the relationship between the factor affecting liquefaction characteristics(Dr) and physical properties of the saturated santa(fs and D.) is found. Based on the analytical results of energy method, it is found that the initial liquefaction of rand is related to the significant change in the dissipated energy. Finally, it is shown that the DSC method and energy method can capture the liquefaction mechanism.

At-rest lateral stress coefficient that is used for the evaluation of geotechnical structures such as foundations and retaining walls plays a significant role in the analysis and design, as a state variable of in-situ stress condition. In the widely applied Jaky's Ko equation stress condition can be inferred from the internal friction angle obtainable from the laboratory experimentation whereas the eguation mares it challenging to evaluate the influences and criteria of particle characteristics which is essential for the application of friction angles in practices. Thus, this study experimentally explored the behaviors of Ko depending on the relative density, particle shape, and surface roughness effect during a range of loading stages. The Ko values of Jumumjin sand, glass beads, and etched glass beads were measured using a customized Ko device housing strain gauges during loading-unloading-reloading steps, and the effect of dominant factors on Ko is analyzed. Results show that the high Ko prevails for both round and angular specimens with low relative density and the surface roughness has a nominal effect. The angular particles exhibit low Ko for specimens with similar relative density. The characteristics of relevance between Ko and friction angles with varying relative density are also investigated based on the experimental results using empirical correlations and previously reported values.

The subsea pipeline pre-commissioning stage consists of the following processes: Flooding, Venting, Hydrotesting, Dewatering, Drying, and N2 Purging. Among these processes, drying and nitrogen purging processes are stipulated to reduce and maintain the relative humidity below dew point to prevent the generation of hydrate and the risk of gas explosion in the pipeline during operation. The purpose of this study is to develop an analysis method for the air drying and nitrogen purging process during pre-commissioning of the subsea pipeline, and to evaluate the applicability of the analysis method through comparison with on-site measurement results. An analysis method using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was introduced and applied as a method for evaluating the relative humidity inside a subsea pipeline, and it was confirmed that analysis results were in good agreement with the on-site measurement results for the air drying and nitrogen purging process of the offshore pipeline. If the developed air drying and nitrogen purging analysis method are used as pre-engineering tools for pre-commissioning of subsea pipelines in the future, it is expected to have a significant impact on the improvement of work productivity.

In this study the relative dynamic modulus and surface rebound hardness measurement methods were used for comparison to predict the occurrence of frost dam age on the concrete. From the test results, it was observed that the initiation of concrete dam age predicted by surface rebound hardness values was 200 cycles quicker than that of the relative dynamic modulus method in the W/C 70 specimens. In addition, it continuously provided data that showed the frost damage development of concrete surfaces according to increasing freeze-thaw cycles. This indicated that the frost dam age of the concrete could be found from the initial point of its occurrence by the surface rebound hardness measurement method. Similar results were also observed in W/C 60 and 50 specimens. Therefore, it is considered that surface rebound hardness method predicted the freeze-thaw damage well, regardless of water-cement ratio.

자연재해 중 홍수는 전 세계적으로 가장 큰 인적 및 물적 피해를 발생시키고 있으며, 지구온난화로 가속화되고 있는 기후변화는 더욱 극심한 호우와 태풍 현상을 야기하고 있다. 최근 우리나라에서도 2020년 장마는 역대 가장 긴 장마로 기록되는 등 변화된 기상현상으로 인해 홍수피해의 빈도와 강도가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 이상기후로 인한 홍수피해에 대한 대비와 적응을 위해 위험도 평가, 예·경보시스템, 대피체계 등과 같은 비구조적 대책의 수립이 필요하다. 그 중 홍수피해에 대한 위험도 평가는 과거 홍수피해자료를 바탕으로 지역별 피해양상이나 상대적인 피해위험도를 파악할 수 있으므로 홍수피해 저감대책 수립에 중요한 비구조적 도구로 인식되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 행정구역별 과거 강우특성 및 홍수피해자료를 분석하여 강우조건에 따라 예상되는 홍수피해위험도를 평가하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 먼저, 국민재난안전포털에서 제공하는 재해연보에서 행정구역별 최근 20년 동안의 호우 및 태풍으로 인한 피해자료를 수집하여 인적 및 물적 피해특성 자료를 구축하고, 홍수피해가 발생한 기간에 대해 기상청에서 제공하는 시강우량 자료를 수집하여 홍수피해 사상별 다양한 강우특성자료를 구축한다. 구축된 자료를 이용하여 행정구역별 강우-피해 상관분석을 수행하고, 회귀분석 과정에서 이상치가 존재할 경우 회귀모형의 적합도를 향상시키기 위해 이상치를 제거하고 분석하여, 회귀식의 결정계수 및 유의성 검정결과를 바탕으로 3가지 원인별(호우, 태풍, 종합), 2가지 홍수피해별(인적, 물적) 강우-피해 최적 회귀함수를 선정한다. 최종적으로 강우조건에 따른 홍수피해 규모를 예측하고, 이를 통하여 행정구역별 상대적인 홍수피해위험도를 평가한다. 본 연구를 통해 행정구역별 강우조건에 따른 예상 홍수피해위험도를 분석하여 홍수피해에 대한 저감대책 수립에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

현대 감사에서 한정된 자원으로 통제 및 감사의 효과(목적)를 최대로 달성하기 위해 통제요소의 상대적인 중요도 파악 및 우선순위 설정이 필요해짐에 따라, 감사인의 판단에 기초한 정보시스템 내부통제 요소의 중요도 평가가 감사에 있어 매우 중요한 관건이 되고있다. 특히 조직에 LAN이 보급되면서 LAN의 환경적 특징으로 인해 통제시스템이 취약해 질 가능성과 이에 대한 보완 방안에 관한 연구가 시작되고 있는데, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)모델을 응용한 Harper(1988)의 중요도 평가에 관한 연구는 시스템 감사인의 LAN 통제 평가의 효율화에 기여할 수 있다는 평가를 받고 있다. 그러나 Harper이 연구에서는 모델에 LAN을 고려한 시스템 감사 목적 (통제설치 기준)의 중요도를 고려하지 못하여 모델에서 결정된 통제요소의 중요도 순위가 부적절할 가능성을 갖는다. 만약 통제요소의 중요도가 부적절할 경우, 이는 LAN 통제 평가와 관련한 시스템 감사의 효율화 뿐 아니라 효과성을 해칠 가능성을 갖게된다. 본 연구는 이와같은 논의를 토대로 기존 연구가 갖는 문제점을 보완, LAN 통제요소의 적절할 평가 방안에 관한 연구를 진행할 것이다.
