In this study, the current horizontal stress characteristics of the Tertiary rock formations in the Pohang Basin are investigated on the basis of the in-situ rock stress measurements at depths from 75 m to 716 m of the 3 test boreholes in the Doumsan area, Pohang. The deep hydraulic fracturing stress measurement results indicated that the horizontal stress components in the test site appear far lower than the average ones by the linear fit for the data set measured from the other domestic sites. But, borehole scanning revealed clearly that lots of small and large scale borehole failures occurred due to the low strength characteristics of the existing rocks. To obtain more accurate and overall information on the horizontal stress direction, the integrated analysis combining the hydraulic fracturing stress measurement and borehole scanning data set were additionally carried out. The analysis results showed that in the upper sedimentary and the lower volcanic rock formation, the dominant orientations of the current maximum horizontal stress components were appeared in the range of $80^{\circ}{\sim}100^{\circ}$ (N80E~N80W) and $120^{\circ}{\sim}140^{\circ}$ (N60W~N40W), respectively. From this study result it was found that the maximum horizontal stress directions have a tendency to rotate in a clockwise direction as the rock formation changes with depth in the test site.

In order to obtain information on the design parameters of the horizontal laterals in floodplain filtration, laboratory-scale sand-box experiments were performed where the head distributions on the laterals and the groundwater profiles were measured according to the change in parameters including lateral diameter, hydraulic conductivity of the sand, water level at the well and raw-water supply rate. Measured data were analyzed using a numerical code in order to identify the discharge intensity distribution along the laterals. It was observed from the result that the lowering of the water level at the well had minimal adverse effect on the performance of the floodplain filtration. Results also elucidated that the low conveyance of the laterals to transmit the filtrate was compensated and supplemented by a natural augmentation in horizontal conveyance through the aquifer when the raw-water supply rate exceeded the adequate recovery rate. With this mechanism, the water quality is expected to improve further since the travel distance through the aquifer is amplified. Based on these findings it can be suggested that the diameter of the lateral used in the floodplain filtration may be smaller than those in riverbank/bed filtration. It was also found that the ratio between the head loss occurring in a lateral and the total head loss in the floodplain filtration was proportional to the exit velocities of the laterals, which may be used to design and/or evaluate the lateral in floodplain filtration.

We have studied orientational characteristics of vertical rift and grain planes developing in 108 quarries for Mesozoic granites. Orientations of these planes vary in different localities. In general, orientations of these planes are predominantly NNE in South Korea. From the regional distribution chart, orientations of these planes show three dominant sets in terms of frequency orders: (1) $N2{\sim}10^{\circ}E(1st-order),\;(2)\;N15{\sim}25^{\circ}E(2nd-order),\;(3)\;N45{\sim}70^{\circ}E,\;N10{\sim}30^{\circ}W\;and\;N70{\sim}80^{\circ}W(3rd-order)$. These granite quarries are classified by the relative difference in the easiness of rock splitting between horizontal and vertical quarrying planes into: R-type, G-type, and H-type. The results showed that quarries for Triassic granites belong to R and G-types;those for Jurassic granites belong to R, G and H-types. In addition, quarries for Cretaceous granites belong mainly to R-type. Among these quarry types, the most diverse type was identified in the quarries for Jurassic granites. R-type (77.8%) shows a higher distribution ratio compared with G and H-types (22.2%). In general, anisotropy of physical properties is found in granitic rocks and there exists close correlation between orientations of granitic rock splitting planes and those of the open microcracks. Meanwhile, it has been reported that preferred orientations of open microcracks suggest maxinum principal stress orientations.

During summer, the DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen) and DIP (dissolved inorganic phosphate) observed in the Jindong Bay in the southern sea of Korea show much higher values in the inner area of the bay. In general, they have high values in the upper (0-1 m) and lower layers (8 m-bottom), but are relatively lower in the middle layer (1-8 m). These features in their distribution are examined using an ecosystem model with considering the wind, tidal current, horizontal gradient of water density and residual flow. The experiments were focused on how to influence nutrients associated with these conditions. In the experiment with tide-induced residual flow, the values of nutrients appeared lower than the observation, and were well corresponded to it when the effects of wind, tide-induced residual current and horizontal gradient of water density were additionally imposed. A statistical analysis identifies these results. This paper suggests that variation of nutrient in the Jindong Bay during summer should be seriously a(footed wind-driven current by the wind and density-driven current is induced by the horizontal gradient of water density as well as tidal current.

A new technique of simultaneous inversion for 3-D seismic velocity structure by using direct, reflected, and refracted waves is applied to the southeast part of the Korean Peninsula including Pohang Basin, Kyongsang Basin and Ryongnam Massif. Pg, Sg, PmP, SmS, Pn, and Sn arrival times of 44 events with 554 seismic rays are inverted for locations and crustal structure. $6{\times}6$ with $0.5^{\circ}$ and 8 layers (4 km each layer) model was inverted. 3-D seismic crustal velocity tomography including eight sections from surface to Moho, ten profiles along latitude and longitude are analyzed. The results are as follows: 1) the average velocity and thickness of sediment are 5.04 km/s and 3-4 km, and the velocity of basement is 6.11 km/s. The shape of velocity in shallower layer is agreement with Bouguer gravity anomaly (Cho et al., 1997). 2) the velocities fluctuate strongly in the upper crust. The velocity distribution of the lower crust under Conrad appears basically horizontal. 3) the average depth of Moho is 30.4 km, and velocity is 8.01 km/s. 4) from the velocity and depth of the sediment, the thickness, velocity and form of the upper crust, and the depth and form of Moho, we can find the obvious differences among Ryongnam Massif, Kyongsang Basin and Pohang Basin. 5) the deep faults (a Ulsan series faults) near Kyongju and Pohang areas can be found to be normal and/or thrust faults with detachment extended to the bottom of the upper crust.

In this paper, acceleration threshold of perception for the horizontal vibration of tall buildings was estimated. Excessive vibration of tall buildings by wind can give displeasure, such as giddiness and visual insecurity. To provide comfortable environment to residents of tall buildings, acceleration needs to be limited. For tall buildings the first mode of vibration is dominant. To reproduce the first mode of vibration, experiments were performed by generating sine waves by a shaking table. A nitration house was made and forty persons were employed for experiments. The forty persons were organized into five experimental groups, each of which was composed of eight persons, and the threshold of perception for horizontal vibration was measured by increasing acceleration in the range of 0.2Hz through 1.2Hz of frequency, Performance curves were obtained by dividing the distribution of perception for horizontal vibration into the range of $0{\sim}20%,\;21{\sim}40%,\;41{\sim}60%,\;61{\sim}80%\;and\;81{\sim}100%$ and by fitting curves.

구름의 몬순의 활동에 있어서 직접적으로나 간접적으로 영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 구름이 몬순의 활동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보기 위해 ISCCP 구름자료와 GAME 재분석 자료를 입력자료로한 장파 복사 모델을 수행하였다. 모델 수행의 결과로 얻어진 대기 상부에서의 플럭스는 CERES 관측치와 비교하였으며, 구름에 의한 가열율은 몬순활동을 해석하기 위해 사용하였다. 구름이 몬순에 끼치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 맑은 대기의 가열율과 구름을 포함한 평균 대기의 가열율의 차이를 구하였으며, 이를 수평과 연직분포의 관점에서 해석하였다. 가열율의 지리적 분포는 수평적으로는 인도양에서 장파 복사 가열율의 최대가 나타났으며, 가열의 최저 (냉각)은 티벳고원에 나타났다. 이러한 공간적 분포는 구름이 남북방향으로 차등가열을 유발시키고 있음을 보여주고 있어 구름의 분포가 열적인 몬순순환을 강화시켜주고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 차등가열의 강화는 동서방향으로도 나타나 구름이 동서방향 순환에도 영향을 줄 수 있음을 보여준다. 구름에 의한 복사 가열의 연직구조는 운정에 의한 냉각과 운저에 의한 가열이 일어날 수 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이로 인해 대기의 불안정성이 높아져 연직 운동을 향상시킬 수 있는 역할을 하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 즉 몬순순환에 의해 생성된 구름은 구름 생성의 원인이 되었던 순환을 더욱 강화시키고 있음을 보이고 있다.
