Current methods for lateral thrust calculations are based on the classical formulations of Rankine or Coulomb. However, the previous studies indicate that lateral earth pressures acting on the wall stem, which is the function of deformation parameters of the backfill, are close to the active condition only in the top half of the wall stem and in the lower half of the wall stem, the lateral earth pressures are significantly in excess of the active pressures. This paper presents the compressible inclusion function of EPS which can results in reduction of static earth pressure by accomodating the movement of retained soil. A series of model tests were conducted to evaluate the reduction of static earth pressure using EPS inclusion and determine the optimum stiffness of EPS. Also, field test was conducted to evaluate the reduction of static earth pressure using EPS inclusion. Based on field test it is found that the magnitude of static earth pressure can be reduced about 20% compared with classical active earth pressure.

This study measured the natural-convection heat transfer of two vertically staggered cylinders with varying vertical pitch-to-diameter ($P_v$/D) and horizontal pitch-to-diameter ($P_h$/D) ratios. The measured heat-transfer rates for the lower cylinder agreed well with the existing heat-transfer correlations for a single cylinder. At the smallest $P_v$/D, the rising plume from the lower cylinder provides the upper cylinder with a preheated flow, and the heat-transfer rates of the upper cylinder decrease, but increase very sensitively with $P_h$/D. However, at the largest $P_v$/D, the velocity effect dominates, and the heat-transfer rates of the upper cylinder are larger than that of a single cylinder, and decrease less sensitively with $P_h$/D. Even if $P_h$/D is increased, the heat-transfer rate of the upper cylinder is higher than that of the lower cylinder because of the chimney and side flow effects. This work expanded the flow ranges to turbulent flows. The cupric acid-copper sulfate ($H_2SO_4-CuSO_4$) electroplating system was adopted for the measurements of the mass-transfer rates instead of the heat-transfer experiments based on the analogy concept. The measurements were made by varying $P_v$/D (1.02-5) and $P_h$/D (0-2) in both laminar and turbulent flows. The Rayleigh number ranged from $1.5{\times}10^8$ to $2.5{\times}10^{10}$, and the Prandtl number was 2,014.

The design for horizontal drain layer on soft ground starts from the decision that the material could be used or not, by verifying material condition in permeability of horizontal drain material according to the weight percent of the dry soil retained on #200 sieve. In the next step of the design, we estimate the thickness of horizontal drain layer to confirm trafficability of heavy machinery in construction work. Successively, the long-term functionality for good drainage of horizontal drain layer is checked and if needed, some means are considered. In this study, the system to recycle mixed coal ash in ash pond successfully as a horizontal drain material on soft ground is presented through the process and the result of its practical construction work. Namely, the pact is confirmed that mixed coal ash in ash pond should be sorted out by sieve screen to a certain extent and the remainders of this mixed coal ash on sieve openings be recycled, because the amount of finer particles than $75{\mu}m$ contained in mixed coal ash in ash pond is quite massive and irregular depending on the coal power plant or the location in same ash pond. In order to sort at large scale in situ, the dimension of a sieve squre hole and the sort-out method, etc. should be decided before the sort-out process. And, it is described that we need to manufacture classifier to sort out mixed coal ash in ash pond, too.

We have calculated and analyzed the electromagnetic responses of buried conductive pipes due to a horizontal magnetic dipole source on the pound using a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element method to provide useful guidelines for designing electromagnetic pipe locator and for field operation of the system. For single buried pipe, the horizontal component and the horizontal difference of the vertical component of magnetic field show peaks above the pipe. When comparing the width of response curves of both cases around the peak, horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field shows much narrower peak, 2 times narrower at a half of maximum amplitude, than that of horizontal component of magnetic field. Accordingly, we can pinpoint the horizontal location of pipe on the ground more accurately by measuring the horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic fold. Moreover, it will have a merit in determining the depth of pipe, because the equation for depth estimation is defined just above the pipe. When there are two buried pipes separated by two meters with each other, the response of horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field has two separate peaks each of which is located above the pipe whereas horizontal magnetic field response has only one peak above the pipe just below the transmitter. Thus, when there exist more than a buried pipe, measuring the horizontal difference of vertical magnetic field can effectively detect not only the pipe under transmitter but also adjacent ones. The width of response curves also indicates higher resolving ability of horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field.

본 연구에서는 지금까지 수행한 건조토 지반에 대한 말뚝의 수평거동 연구의 연속된 연구로서 지반내에 함수비가 존재하는 포화토 및 습윤토 지반에서의 수평거동에 대한 지반내 함수비의 영향성을 평가하고자 함이 목적이다. 말뚝의 수평거동을 고찰하기 위하여 각각 다른 함수비를 갖는 네 종류의 지반과 말뚝의 두부 및 선단 구속조건이 다른 네 종류의 말뚝조건으로 모형실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 1회의 지하수 상승과 하강을 반복하는 모형실험결과에 의하면, 포화토와 습윤토 지반의 수평지지력은 건조토 지반에 비하여 각각 26%~45% 감소와 20%~36%정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝두부 고정과 선단 자유조건의 경우, 동일 수평변위 1mm에서의 최대 휨모멘트는 건조토 지반에 비하여 25%의 함수비를 갖는 습윤토 지반에서 약 48% 증가하나, 34.06%의 함수비를 갖는 포화토 지반에서는 반대로 68% 감소하였다. 이는 지하수의 존재로 인한 입자간 인력에 의한 유효응력과 겉보기강도의 증가 그리고 단위중량의 증가로 설명할 수가 있다. 지속수평하중에 대한 수평변위와 최대 휨모멘트의 변화를 포화토 및 습윤토 지반에서 관찰할 수 있었다.

Service quality research has been the subject of service studies for many years. This study is an exploratory study to improve the service quality measurement factor, and the research has been carried out reflecting the nature of the service; relationship quality, interactivity, horizontality, and harmony. Also, among the developed service quality measurement factors, the research model is reconstructed considering the major factors such as environmental quality, result quality, and convenience quality. Relationality and interactivity redesigned the quality factor, which is called interactive quality. The redesigned service quality factors consisted of interaction quality, result quality, environmental quality, convenience quality, harmonious quality, and horizontal quality. Experimental group evaluation was conducted on the quality factors and 18 measurement items were derived. A questionnaire was conducted to verify the validity of the 18 items. As a result of the questionnaire analysis, 6 factors and 15 items among the 18 items of service quality measurement factor were found valid. The six factors for the service quality measurement presented in this study are the results of the early stage research, but they can be used to improve the service quality factor in the future. However, this is significant because it reflects the characteristics of services that are consistent with the service economy. In particular, the horizontal quality and harmony quality factors are new factors not mentioned in the previous studies and need to be verified through further detailed studies. Further research is needed to improve the service quality measurement factors reflecting the nature of services and the characteristics of new services.

Natural convection heat transfer experiments from two parallel horizontal cylinders were performed varying the Pitch-to-Diameter ratio (P/D) of 1.02-9 at Sc of 2,014 to 8,334 and $Ra_D$ of $1.5{\times}10^8$ to $4.5{\times}10^{10}$. Mass transfer experiments that are analogous to the heat transfer experiments were performed using copper electroplating system. In all cases, the measured heat transfer rates for the lower cylinder agreed well with the existing heat transfer correlations developed from a single cylinder. For laminar flows, the measured heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were less than those of the lower cylinder at P/D less than about 1.5. However, as the P/D increased, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder increased. For turbulent flows, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were considerably similar to those of the lower cylinder when the P/D is approximately unity. In contrast, as the P/D increased, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were always higher than those of the lower cylinder.

In this paper, the Coefficient of Subgrade Reaction was analyzed from the data which were the results of lateral pile loading tests and pressuremeter tests on construction sites. The prediction method with N-value was compared with lateral pile loading tests and the results of lateral pile loading tests were compared with the prediction method considering diameter of a pile. Also, the results of lateral pressuremeter tests were compared with those of lateral pile loading tests. As a result, consideration for a diameter and lateral deformation of a pile was needed when the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction is presumed. Therefore, a formula which is taking into account the allowable deformation of a pile was suggested from lateral pressuremeter tests in this study.
