Recently, increasing number of urban ground subsidence occurrences has been identified. This situation is mainly due to the increased number of underground cavities. This study is intended to develop the method that prevents ground settlement caused by deteriorated or damaged sewers, which are the main cause of land subsidence. To that end, GPR exploration was conducted using CCTV monitoring of deteriorated sewer at the location with high settlement potential. Through such CCTV monitoring and GPR investigation, abnormal ground behavior was monitored at the site where sewer was damaged, joint was cracked and soil was deposited. According to site investigation in this study, evaluation method using correlation analysis of CCTV monitoring and GPR investigation results is expected to prevent ground settlement attributable to damaged sewer.

Structural analysis used to evaluate the load carrying capacity of a bridge should implement behavioral characteristics similar to the actual behaviors of the structure through loading tests, but it is not feasible in many cases due to the behavioral characteristics of points, inadequate modeling method in structural analysis, errors in loading tests, changes in strength and rigidity resulting from cross-sectional damage, etc. This problem can be more serious if bridge bearings have been damaged or were not installed and, consequently, the bearings do not function properly. This study produced results similar to actual behaviors using a structural analysis model built with support moment derived from the difference $\Delta{\delta}$ between measured deflection obtained by confining the cantilever segment of a solid beam and calculated deflection under a unrestrained condition. When the load carrying capacity of a bridge in operation was evaluated in consideration of the confinement condition of supports, the result was 15~19% lower than load carrying capacity calculated by the existing method.

By the activation of environment-friendly river works, application of vegetation mats is increasing, however, evaluation techniques for hydraulic stability of vegetation mats are not presented. This study is conducted to develop the objective test method for vegetation mats. Two kind of vegetation mats are tested by the real scale experiments, and hydraulic quantities are measured and analyzed to evaluate acting shear stresses. Roughness and shear stress are evaluated by 1 D non-uniform model. After each tests, changes in mat surfaces and sub-soil are evaluated, and from these evaluation, 3 types of mat surface damages and 2 types of sub-soil damages are presented. In the study, the case in which some damages in mat surface don't cause loss of sub-soil, is presented to be in the stable condition. Appling this stable condition and acting shear stresses, permissible shear stresses of vegetation mats are evaluated, and the results show that the reinforced mat with wire netting has more permissible shear stress.

Monitoring is the act of collecting and analyzing accurate engineering information using various methods and instruments. The purposes of the monitoring are design verification, construction management, quality control, safety management, and diagnose of structure etc.. The diagnose evaluation of the geotechnical structures corresponds to the confirmation of the structural performance. It is aimed to judge the soundness of geotechnical structures considering the degree of damage due to the environmental change and elapsed time. Recently, microseismicity, which is widely known in Korea, can be used for safety management and diagnoses of structure as it detects the micro-damage without disturbance of the structure. This report provides guideline on the procedure for assessing an underground oil storage cavern using microseismic monitoring techniques. Guidelines cover the selection of monitoring systems, sensor array, sensor installation and operation of systems, and interpretation.

CMP (Chemical-Mechanical Planarization) 공정이란 화학적 반응과 기계적 힘을 동시에 이용하여 표면을 평탄화하는 공정으로, 반도체 산업에서 회로의 고집적화와 다층구조를 형성하기 위해 CMP 공정이 도입되었으며 반도체 패턴의 미세화와 다층화에 따라 CMP 공정의 중요성은 더욱 강조되고 있다. CMP 공정은 압력, 속도 등의 공정조건과, 화학적 반응을 유도하는 슬러리, 기계적 힘을 위한 패드 등에 의해 복합적으로 영향을 받는다. CMP 공정에서, 폴리우레탄 패드는 많은 기공들을 포함한 그루브(groove)를 형성하고 있어 웨이퍼와 직접적으로 접촉을 하며 공정 중 유입된 슬러리가 효과적으로 연마를 할 수 있도록 도와주는 역할을 한다. 하지만, 공정이 진행 될수록 그루브는 손상이 되어 제 역할을 하지 못하게 된다. 패드 컨디셔닝이란 컨디셔너가 CMP 공정 중에 지속적으로 패드 표면을 연마하여 패드의 손상된 부분을 제거하고 새로운 표면을 노출시켜 패드의 상태를 일정하게 유지시키는 것을 말한다. 한편, 금속박막의 CMP 공정에 사용되는 슬러리는 금속박막과 산화반응을 하기 위하여 산화제를 포함하는데, 산화제는 금속 컨디셔너 표면을 산화시켜 부식을 야기한다. 컨디셔너의 표면부식은 반도체 수율에 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 scratch 등을 발생시킬 뿐만 아니라, 컨디셔너의 수명도 저하시키게 되므로 이를 방지하기 위한 노력이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 컨디셔너 표면에 연마 잔여물 흡착을 억제하고, 슬러리와 컨디셔너 표면 간에 일어나는 표면부식을 방지하기 위하여 소수성 자기조립 단분자막(SAM: Self-assembled monolayer)을 증착하여 특성을 평가하였다. SAM은 2가지 전구체(FOTS, Dodecanethiol를 사용하여 Vapor SAM 방법으로 증착하였고, 접촉각 측정을 통하여 단분자막의 증착 여부를 평가하였다. 또한 표면부식 특성은 Potentiodynamic polarization와 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) 등의 전기화학 분석법을 사용하여 평가되었다. SAM 표면은 정접촉각 측정기(Phoenix 300, SEO)를 사용하여 $90^{\circ}$ 이상의 소수성 접촉각으로써 증착여부를 확인하였다. 또한, 표면에너지 감소로 인하여 슬러리 내의 연마입자 및 연마잔여물 흡착이 감소하는 것을 확인 하였다. Potentiodynamic polarization과 EIS의 결과 분석으로부터 SAM이 증착된 표면의 부식전위와 부식전류밀도가 감소하며, 임피던스 값이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 컨디셔너 표면에 SAM을 증착 하였고, CMP 공정 중 발생하는 오염물의 흡착을 감소시킴으로써 CMP 연마 효율을 증가하는 동시에 컨디셔너 금속표면의 부식을 방지함으로써 내구성이 증가될 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

To investigate the performance of apartment buildings which were built in the 1990s and which have RC bearing wall systems with coupling beams, construction drawings of 13 buildings were collected and analyzed. To evaluate the seismic performance, FEMA 356 and FEMA 440 were selected as guidelines. For the demand curve, the seismic design spectrum in KBC 2009 is used. For each building, the performance points for life safety and the collapse prevention state are calculated. It was found that 9 out of 13 buildings (about 70%) showed damage more severe than the collapse prevention level at the performance point and more damage could be seen at the coupling beams than the walls. However, the story drift limit of FEMA 356 was satisfied for all buildings. Through the analysis of performance points, it was shown that the spectral acceleration has an inverse relationship with the natural period.

In actual battlefield environment, the naval ships which have specific missions have to respond to the attack of hostile forces. Especially, in modern warfare, the importance of the survivability of naval ships are increasing due to the high lethality of armaments. Naval ship survivability is generally considered to encompass three constituents, susceptibility, vulnerability and recoverability. Recently, among these three constituents, many researches on vulnerability have been conducted. However, for the vulnerability of naval ships, most of researches are aimed towards the detailed design stages where implementing changes is heavily constrained or even impractical. In this paper, vulnerability assessment model for naval ships on a theater engagement is developed by using M&S technique. By using this model, the characteristics of platform and armaments are reflected on the damage of naval ship. The basic logic of damage assessment is also considered in detail. The damage status of the naval ship is quantified by defining a representative state index of onboard equipment for each system.

전 세계적으로 홍수의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라, 하천 내 홍수피해를 경감하기 위해 설치하는 하천시설에 대한 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 하천시설은 홍수조절, 이수를 위한 흐름의 제어와 유도, 자연환경의 유지 및 개선 등 중요한 역할을 하고 있으나, 구조적으로 물과의 접촉이 많아 물리적 손상이나 노후화가 매우 빠르게 진행되는 특성이 있다. 시설물의 노후화가 지속될수록 안정성을 보장하기 어려워 자연재난의 규모를 증가시킬 위험성이 있다. 하천시설의 선제적 유지관리를 위해, 본 연구에서는 시설물통합정보관리시스템(Facilty Management System; FMS)의 정밀안전진단 결과를 활용하여 시설물의 사용연수에 따른 성능지표의 변화를 기반으로 회귀식 형태의 성능평가모델을 개발하였다. 기존연구와의 비교를 통해 성능평가모델의 적합성을 확인하였으며, 개발한 성능평가모델은 하천시설의 생애주기를 통합적으로 고려함으로써 정량적인 상태를 예측할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 성능평가모델 결과는 하천시설의 생애주기 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

A method for assessing fatigue vulnerability of steel bridge members considering corrosion and truck traffic variation with time is proposed to evaluate the reduction of fatigue strength in steel bridge members. A fatigue limit state function including corrosion and traffic variation effect is established. The interaction between the average corrosion depth and the fatigue strength reduction factor is applied to the limit state function as the reduction term of strength. Three types of truck traffic change is modeled for representing real traffic change trend. Monte-Carlo simulation method is used for reliability analysis which provides the data to obtain fatigue vulnerability curves. The estimation method proposed was verified by comparing with the results of reference study and applying to the steel bridges in service.

A simple estimation system of ultimate and residual strength for ship structures is developed on the Open-Window system of SUN4 engineering workstation. System development consists of three stages. Firstly, various ultimate longitudinal strength estimation methods are investigated and some rational estimation methods are adopted based on the parametric comparison of various hulls or box girders. Secondly, these selected and newly formulated methods are linked with elastic & perfectly plastic section modulus calculation procedure. Therefore, the longitudinal hull girder strength can be calculated in the intact and damaged conditions due to the grounding or collision of hull structure. Finally, an exclusive system is developed such that whole procedures are proceeded under the window management system using mouse button and elastic and perfect plastic stress conditions. Also longitudinal members are plotted automatically under three dimensional graphic circumstances. These established program is tested for various actual ships, and some examples are illustrated.
