The helical pile has become popular with some constructional advantages because relatively compact equipment is needed for installing helical piles. However, field loading tests for estimating the bearing capacity of helical piles have drawbacks that the required dead load should be as much as the operation load, and reaction piles or anchors are required. In this paper, the bi-directional load test without necessity of reaction piles and loading frames was applied to the helical pile, and the load-settlement curves of the helical piles were measured. The bi-directional load test was performed in two separate stages with the aid of a special hydraulic cylinder whose diameter is equal to that of the pile shaft. In the first stage, the hydraulic cylinder is assembled immediately above the bottom helix plate, and the end bearing capacity of the helical pile is measured. In the second stage, the hydraulic cylinder is assembled above the top helix plate, and the skin friction of the helical pile is measured. The pile loading-test program was carried out for the two different helical piles with the shaft diameter of 89 mm and 114 mm, respectively. However, the configuration of helix plates is identical with three helix plates of 450-, 350-, 200- mm diameter. Results of the bi-directional load test were verified by the conventional static pile loading test. As a result, the bearing capacity estimated by the bi-directional load test is in good agreement with the result of the conventional pile loading test.

Energy transfer by free convection arises in many engineering applications, such as a hot steam radiator for heating a room, refrigeration coils, electric transformers, heating elements and electronic equipments. Generally unsteady natural convection flow in a horizontal channel with arbitrary wall temperatures and the mathematical and physical basis of convection transport has been considered in general. A physically meaningful exact solution of the problem has been obtained in a closed form by the application of the standard finite sine transform technique. Influences of the governing parameters, the Prandtl number and the Rayleigh number, to bring the flow and heat transfer to final steady states have been discussed separately. For constant values of the arbitray wall temperatures and of the function, determining the average axial velocity, the final steady state is approached in different times respectively for the cases when the Prandtl number Pr>1 and Pr<1. It is also seen that the function, representing the axial temperature gradient, is influenced by none of the governing parameters : but the steady state flow is influenced only by the Rayleigh number. There are, of course, many applications. Free convection strongly influences heat transfer from pipes and transmission lines, as well as from various electronic devices. It is also relevant to the environmental sciences, where it is responsible for oceanic and atmospheric motions, as well as related heat transfer processes.

태양전지는 태양광에너지를 바로 전기에너지로 전환시키는 소자이다. 최근에는 다결정 태양전지의 응용가능성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 오고 있다. 이 중 CuInSe2는 여러 가지 좋은 물성을 가지고 있어서, 저가의 고효율 태양전지를 위한 광흡수층 재료로 주목받고 있다. 현재까지 다양한 방법이 시도되었지만, 10% 이상의 고효율을 가지는 고품질을 박막을 얻는 방법은 진공증발증착법과 selenization 방법뿐이다. 이 중 진공증발증착법에 의하여 형성된 박막을 이용하여 가장 높은 효율의 태양전지를 얻을 수 있으나, 진공 장비의 대면적화가 힘들기 때문에 대면적 태양전지 제조가 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 selenization 방법을 이용하여 CuInSe2 박막을 제조하는 것이 가장 유망한 방법이라 할 수 있다. Selenization 방법은 Cu-In 금속층을 제작한 뒤 이를 selenium과 반응을 시키는 방법이다. 따라서 이 방법을 이용하여 박막을 제조할 때는 Cu-In 금속층의 물성 조절이 이후 생성되는 CuInSe2 박막의 물성향상에 필수적이다. 따라서 Cu-In 금속층의 물성에 대해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 Cu-In 이 성분계에서 알려진 반가 없다. 저온에서는 반응속도론적으로 매우 느리게 반응이 일어나기 때문에 열역학적으로 안정한 상을 얻기가 힘들기 때문이다. 따라서 본 실험에 앞서 각 제조 조건에 따른 열역학적인 안정상을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 상온에서 Cu의 양이 증가함에 따라, In$\longrightarrow$CuIn2$\longrightarrow$Cu11In9$\longrightarrow$Cu7In3 상으로 변화하였다. 9$0^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서는 CuIn2 상이 안정하였고, 10$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 Cu11In9 상 두 가지로 존재하였고, Cu/In 인가전력비를 변화시켰을 때 조성비가 선형적으로 변하였다. 즉, Cu-In 동시스퍼터링법은 원하는 조성을 간편한 방법으로 정확하게 조절할 수 있는 방법이라 할 수 있다. 증착 온도를 변화시켰을 때는 9$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서 존재하던 CuIn2 상이 10$0^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 완전히 사라지고 In과 CuIn2 상이 사라지고 In 상과 Cu11In9 상이 나타났다. 상전이를 위하여 30$0^{\circ}C$의 높은 열처리 온도가 필요한 것은, 밀 저온 안정상이 형성된 뒤 각 원소들의 확산에 의해 상전이가 일어나기 때문에 이를 위한 충분한 열에너지를 가질 수 있는 온도가 필요하기 때문이다. 조성을 일정하게 유지하면서 챔버 압력을 변화시켰을 때는 형성되는 상의 미세구조난 결정성은 일정하였다. 인가전력, 증착온도, 챔버 압력 변화에 따른 상변화는 앞서 계산한 열역학적 결과와 정확히 일치하였다. 이는 동시스퍼터링 방법이 각 입자들을 원소 단위에서 균일하게 혼합할 수 잇는 방법이고, 또 입자들이 높은 에너지를 가지고 있기 때문이다. 즉, 원소 단위에서 균일한 반응을 하고, 가장 안정한 위치로 쉽게 이동할 수 있기 때문에 열역학적으로 안정한 상을 형성할 수 있는 것이다.

Under a specific roadway alignment condition by design-speed standards, safety of the roadway is determined by an actual operating speed of a driver. This research takes first lanes of four-lane(hi-direction) rural highways as target facility. It also takes the straight and curved lanes of the selected highways for in-depth study. This study used NC-97 to detect speeds of passenger cars whose speeds are not affected by front vehicles. This research analyzed properties of 85th percentile operating speed at upstream of horizontal and through curves under various alignment conditions. The results show that 53∼65 Percent of drivers drive faster than the posted speed-limit (80KPH) by 14∼20 KPH on average. It also shows that the 85th-percentile operating speeds are the lowest at the middle point of curve length when curve radius is smaller. However, they are lowest at 1/4 point of curve length when curve radius is greater. Along roadways where curve radius is small, difference between upstream speed and the speed along the curve is considerably large. On the other hand. the speed difference is setting smaller as the curve radius is increasing. According to the results, significant variables affecting the 85th percentile operating speeds are curve radius and the 85th-Percentile operating speeds of upstream curves.

The purpose of this research was to find an optimal quarrying for marble by analyzing the applicability and the work efficiency of a chain saw machine newly introduced in the underground Baekwoon mine. From the test results of the physical properties of Baekwoon marble, which affects the efficiency of rock cutting, it was found to have similar physical characteristics as the ones which are now being produced in the other areas in Korea. And especially it shows isotropic property, which can be thought to be advantageous as a dimensional stone. To check the long-term quality of the marble as a stone material, several tests such as corrosion resistance test and abrasion test were carried out. It was found to be vulnerable to acid rain with decrease of weight and seismic wave velocity after applying artificial rain at pH 5.6 for 50 times. The percentage of wear from abrasion test was 22.67%. The working time and cutting speed of the chain saw machine were recorded and analyzed during the test-run at the quarry. The overall work cycle was assorted into 9 unit operations and the operating time per each unit was drawn. The operating times for the two cutting patterns, which could be possibly applicable to the work site, were compared. The results indicated that the pattern B, that the cutting sequence was set to minimize the movement of the machine, showed 6% less working hours than the pattern A, which first cuts the outer boundary. With cutting pattern analysis, the ore body in the Baekwoon mine was 3 dimensionally modeled and a quarrying plan considering the existing conditions of the marble was suggested.

Modern countries have almost ratified the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and are creating environments to prevent discrimination against these individuals. In 1996, the International Maritime Organization presented a recommendation for the design and operation of passenger ships to respond to elderly and disabled persons' needs. In Korea, an act on the promotion of transportation convenience for mobility disadvantaged persons has been implemented, and facilities for the disabled have been rapidly installed in ships, vehicles, aircraft, railways and passenger terminals. However, the maritime transport environment is less concerned about disabled persons than safety. In this study, basic research was conducted to improve the maritime transport environment for disabled people in Korea through a field survey and literature survey. As a result, it was found that relevant laws and regulations have not been properly applied to excursion ships and ferries as well as small-scale ports, which are responsible for a large part of coastal passenger transportation. In addition to low installation rates of facilities for the transportation of persons with disabilities in ships and terminals, loose equipment was also considered. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the human rights of persons with disabilities, which are universal values of humanity, by complementing laws and introducing improved facilities.

Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) has successfully installed two autonomous very broadband three-component seismic stations at the King George Island (KGI), Antarctica, during the 24th KOPRI Antarctic Summer Expedition (2010 ~ 2011). The seismic observation system is originally designed by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Program for Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere Instrument Center, which is fully compatible with the Polar Earth Observing Network seismic system. The installation is to achieve the following major goals: 1. Monitoring local earthquakes and icequakes in and around the KGI, 2. Validating the robustness of seismic system operation under harsh environment. For further intensive studies, we plan to move and install them adding a couple more stations at ice shelf system, e.g., Larsen Ice Shelf System, Antarctica, in 2013 to figure out ice dynamics and physical interaction between lithosphere and cryosphere. In this article, we evaluate seismic station performance and characteristics by examining ambient noise, and provide operational system information such as frequency response and State-Of-Health information.

The Internet of Things is a huge group of devices communicating each other and the interconnection of objects in the network is a basic requirement. Choosing a reliable device is critical because malicious devices can compromise networks and services. However, it is difficult to create a trust management model due to the mobility and resource constraints of IoT devices. For the centralized approach, there are issues of single point of failure and resource expansion and for the distributed approach, it allows to expand network without additional equipment by interconnecting each other, but it has limitations in data exchange and storage with limited resources and is difficult to ensure consistency. Recently, trust management models using fog nodes and blockchain have been proposed. However, blockchain has problems of low throughput and delay. Therefore, in this paper, a trust management model for selecting reliable devices in a fog-based IoT environment is proposed by applying IOTA, a blockchain technology for the Internet of Things. In this model, Directed Acyclic Graph-based ledger structure manages trust data without falsification and improves the low throughput and scalability problems of blockchain.
