Recently there are many long span cable supported bridges like Cable Stayed Bridge and Suspension Bridge already constructed or planned. Reconsidering of proper design wind load of long span bridge is required since the meteorological value based on the data only from 1960s to 1995 has been used when we estimate the wind load for designing long span bridges. In this paper, the research area was confined to western and southern coasts where many long span bridges have constructed. The method of moment and the least-squares method were used to estimate the expected wind speeds of 100 year's return period for girder bridges and for 200 year's return period for long span bridges based on the Gumbel's distribution. As the return-period wind speed on the land face was revised because of recent high speed velocity, the revised return-period wind speed is increased by 17%. Compatibility of return-period wind speed was also evaluated using RMS (Root Mean Square) error method. Aa a result of this paper, the least-squares method is more compatible than the method of moment in the case of western and southern coasts in Korea.

Information System for decision making process is indispensable in information society. The information system should be able to provide required information at any where and anytime to everybody. Especially, regional information system is required to reduce the gab among the regions and to distinguish the characteristics of each region. In this research a regional information system which is organized with the area of culture, living, andeconomyis implemented. Thesystemprovidevariousdaily andindustrial information to break the information unbalance. Also, it will increase the competitive power of regional economy and regional industry.

The Gochang beach is located in the southwestern coast of Korea along the eastern part of the Yellow Sea, comprising the Donghori, Gwangseungri, and Myeongsasipri beaches from north to south. The Gochang beach is characterized by macro-tide, open-coast, linear shoreline, and sand substrates. This study has investigated annual and seasonal characteristics of surface topography variation and sediment accumulation rate in the Gochang beach. During the five seasons of winter (Feb.), spring (May), summer (Aug.), and fall (Nov.) in 2014 and winter (Feb.) in 2015, the topographic elevation of total 315 sites was measured along three survey lines. It consists of 21 sites at 30 m intervals in each transverse line perpendicular to the shoreline, respectively. Annual accumulation rate of the Gochang beach in 2014 was -0.081 m/yr, indicative of erosional condition. Annual accumulation rates of the comprising beaches represent -0.091m/yr of the Donghori, -0.051 m/yr of the Gwangseungri, and -0.10 m/yr of the Myeongsasipri.

근 반세기 동안에 세계에서 간척 사업이 가장 활발하였던 곳은 화란의 북해안과 우리 나라의 서남해안이다. 이는 한반도의 서해안을 말하는 것으로 북한까지 포함된 것을 말한다. 그간 우리 나라는 간척 사업에 의해 농지의 외연적인 확대로 쌀의 지급율을 높이는 데 일익을 담당한 것도 사실이다 우리 나라의 서해안은 간만의 차가 커서 \circled1간척지가 잘 발달되어 간척 적지가 많고, \circled2지구 내의 배수 방식이 외국에서처럼 기계 배수가 아니고 자연 배수가 가능하여 유지 관리비가 적게 든다. 그러나 \circled3 방조제. 축조시 불가피하게 강력한 조류속이 발생하지만 이에 견별 수 있는 자연 석재를 비롯하여 축제 재료의 구득이 용이하고, 돌망태 공법을 개발하여 공사가 용이하고 공사비도 저렴하다. 또한 태풍이나 해일에 의해 해면이 상승하는 기상조도 일본이나 화란의 3.5m인데 비해 우리 나라는 1.5m정도로 이들 나라에 비하여 같은 조건에서도 둑마루 높이가 2.0m정도가 낮아져 공사비도 저렴하고 외측 피복공 공사도 용이하다. 뿐만 아니라 서남 해안의 해안선은 굴곡이 심하고 연안에는 섬들이 산재하여 있어, 매립 면적당 방조제의 길이가 짧고, 공사의 단계별 추진이 용이하다. 간석지의 토질도 비교적 단단하여 방조제의 축조나 토지 이용에 적합하는 등, 자연적인 간척 여건은 세계에서 찾아볼 수 없는 천혜의 입지 조건을갖추고 있다. 그동안 우리 나라의 간척 기술은 8 . 15 광복 이후, 소규모 간척 사업을 시행하다가 60년대에 이르러 국가 경제 개발의 일환으로 추진된 동진강 간척사업을 필두로, 70년대에는 남양, 아산, 삽교천 방조제 공사를 시행하면서 우리 나라 여건에 부합되는 방조제 구조와 공법을 독자적으로 개발하였고, 80년대에는 영산강, 대호, 금강, 90년 초에는 영암방조제 공사들을 무리없이 성공시켰고, 독자적인 기술 개발이 촉진되어 1994년 1월에는 세계 간척사상 유출입 조석량이 가장 큰(9억m$^3$로 그간 우리나라 및 화란에서 시행하였던 큰 규모는 약 3~억 m$^3$ 내외임) 시화 방조제 끝막이 공사를 우리 나라가 개발한 구조와 공법으로 성공시켰으며, 이에 힘입어 유출입 조석량이 18억m$^3$인 새만금 간척 공사를 독자적인 우리 기술에 의해 계획대로 시행되고 있는 현시점에서 그간 우리 나라의 간척 기술개발 사항은 물론, 간척 사업 .전반적인 사항을 요약하였고, 세계 각국의 간척 사업과도 비교하여 우리나라 간척 사업에 대한 현주소를 여기에 소개한다.

Hourly tide-gauge data at 10 tide stations along the West/South coasts were analysed statistically for tidesurge interaction. Interactions were found at all stations except Busan, prominently at the western tip of the South coast near Mokpo and Wando. A well-known interaction pattern which occurs at flood tide was found rarely at domestic coasts, while another pattern of the tide-modulated surge which occurs at low tide was detected frequently. In addition, a new interaction pattern which occurs at ebb tide is discovered. This pattern is found at Mokpo where the ebb dominance is prominent. Finally, the skew surge could be considered as a tool coping with such interactions.

Applicability of the MIKE21 model as a real time coupled tide-surge model is examined prior to the application as an inundation model. Though the model domain contains the whole southern coasts of Korean Peninsula, the results of tide simulations show good agreement with the observed values. Moreover, the coupled tide-surge model simulates water levels well, especially near the sites which typhoon MAEMI(0314) struck, such as at Tongyung, Masan and Pusan. In addition, it is confirmed that the interaction between storm surge and tide is notable where the water depth is small and the tidal range is large, which indicates the necessity of coupled model especially at the southwestern coast.

A primary study on the rapid modeling of storm surge, which is one of typical coastal disasters, for immediate forecasting in conjunction with typhoon advisories is done and tested for the typhoons Bolaven, Tembin and Sanba which attacked to Korean Peninsula on August and September in this year 2012. Semi automatic rapid computations according to JTWC typhoon advisories were performed and uploaded to the web by models SLOSH in PC and ADCIRC in parallel clusters with 64 cores having 57k nodes encompassing the North-Western Pacific region. It only takes 1 and 2 hours from taking advisory to web uploading, respectively. By comparison with observed water surface elevations for the major tidal stations after Bolaven attack it shows within RMS error of 0.17~0.19 m for surge heights and only deviates 1 hour of peak surge time in ADCIRC model. Thus it is concluded that this approach provides a frame of near real-time immediate forecasting of storm surges with satisfactions.

Local names of weedy melons, growing as wild-ecotype along the southern and western coasts, and around Jeju island in Korea were collected. The collected local names ranked in frequency in descending order of Gaetongchamoe, Jurae, Juloe, Toloe, Joronge, Jureongge, Tongoe, Jorange, Dolchamoe, Tongchamoe, Ganjeolgui, and Jwibangulchamoe. Gaetongchamoe, Juloe, Toloe, Jureongge, Tongoe, Jorange, Dolchamoe, Tongchamoe were the words derived from natural habitats of the weedy melons, and Jurae, Jorongge, Kare derived from usage as playing toys.

The fractions of nitrogen were investigated in the soils of reclaimed and natural tidelands of southwest coastal area of Korea. The content of total-N varied to ranged form 619 to 5,534 mg/kg dry weight with a mean value of 1,857 mg/kg. The order of different fractions of nitrogen was as follows: Acid non-extractable-N > uncounted-N > acid extractable-N > ammonia-N > nitrate-N. The content of ammonia-N, acid extractable-N, and acid non-extractable-N showed highly negative correlations with pH. The content of acid extractable-N and ammonia-N showed highly positive correlation with clay content.
