This paper classifies the main directions of public diplomacy as 'sender-centered public diplomacy' and 'receiver-centered public diplomacy' and attempts to conceptualize them in the initial stage. In the process, the paper evaluates the specific cases and performance of 'receiver-centered public diplomacy' for posts uploaded by the U.S. Embassy in Seoul on SNS (Facebook) over the past year in 2021. Receiver-centered public diplomacy aims to win the favor of foreign citizens by introducing and experiencing the culture and specificity of the other country. As a result of the analysis, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul is striving to win the favor of the Korean people by directly introducing and experiencing Korean major issues and trends as well as Korean traditional culture such as kimchi and traditional liquor. Furthermore, it can be seen that the values and policies pursued by the United States are effectively promoted through this method. Korea's public diplomacy, which is still in the 'sender-centered', needs to establish a more effective strategy by referring to the case of the United States.

최근 특별한 연약지반 처리공법을 적용하지 않고 자중을 감소시키고 구조적인 특성을 이용하여 연약지반 위에 설치하는 방파제가 제안ㆍ개발되고 있다. 일본에서는 자중을 가볍게 하고 파랑 하중을 역T형 구조와 말뚝을 이용하여 지지하는 구조를 시공한 사례도 있으며(문사강지 등, 1989), 국내에서는 Fig. 1과 같이 역T형 콘크리트 방파제의 자중만으로도 과도한 압밀침하가 발생되는 아주 연약한 지반에서 방파제의 자중을 줄이기 위해 부력통을 설치하고 설계 하중은 지중에 벽체를 설치하여 지지하는 구조를 제안하고 그 성능을 평가한 바 있다(권오순 등,2001 ; 권오순 등, 2002).

The cost on transmission and erection of the precast prestressed concrete members largely depends on the weight of them. Optimum process is performed on a U-beam section to control the prestressing force, to reduce the self-weight, and to meet the required strength and stability. The strength, deflection, and concrete stress at the top and bottom of the section considered are required to check according to each construction step in this process. The weight of the original rectangular concrete beam could be reduced up to 39∼50％ from this method. Two full scale prototype U-beams were proposed and tested in this study. It was found that the U-beams in the test showed good performance in strength and serviceability within the limits of ultimate strength design method.

An on-board truck scale is an essential technical solution for preventing overload, which makes the driver aware of the commercial vehicle weight. This study analyzed the effects of the driving pattern and transportation efficiency by the IoT Platform service for an on-board truck scale. A comparison of before and after installation using the long-term monitored data confirmed the reduction effects both of the overload ratio and overweight value, and their effects on increasing the transportation efficiency. In addition, the analysis result of the driving route showed that the installation of an on-board truck scale could be a more effective way of preventing overload than increasing the weighing checkpoints.

This study is performed for the development of a field monitoring and test technique both of self-weight and hydraulic consolidation by which the soil parameters of dredge-reclaimed clay can be obtained effectively. The field monitoring development and tests mentioned above make it possible to reproduce the process of the self-weight consolidation from settling to reclaimed soft ground. The experimental research is mainly focussed on the characteristics of self-weight consolidation of dredged clayey soil. And theoretical study has pointed out the limits in the application of Terzaghi's one dimensional consolidation theory in interpreting reclaimed clayey ground. Furthermore, a finite difference analysis has been made on the basis of Mikasa s self-weight consolidation theory which takes the problems of Terzaghi's theory into consideration. The relationships between specific volume, effective stress, and the coefficient of permeability of Kunsan reclaimed clayey soil have been obtained by laboratory tests. On the other hand, through the field monitoring, pore pressure, total pressure, and water levels have been measured after pouring. The results of these experiments have been analyzed, and compared with those from Terzaghi's method and the finite difference analysis of Mikasa's self-weight consolidation theory. In conclusion, the measured settlements is comparatively consistent with Mikasa's self-weight consolidation theory rather than Terzaghi's consolidation theory.

In order to analyze the effect of fines content on sedimentation and self-weight consolidation characteristics of dredged soil, a series of self-weight consolidation tests with different fines content were conducted. From the experimental test results on dredged soils, it was found that the coefficient of sedimentation and consolidation is correlated with water content. And it is related to fines content as well. So, in this study, correlation between fines content and the coefficient of sedimentation and consolidation has been proposed. And it is expected that the coefficient of sedimentation and consolidation can be estimated by the percentage of fines content.

This paper presents the buckling behavior of a pile considering its self-weight. The differential equation and boundary conditions governing the buckling of partially embedded piles in nonhomogeneous soils are derived. The buckling load and mode shape of the pile are numerically computed by the Runge-Kutta method combined with the Regula-Falsi algorithm. The obtained numerical solutions for bucking loads agree well with the results available from the literature. Numerical examples are given to analyze the buckling load and mode shape of the piles as affected by the self-weight, embedment ratio, slenderness ratio and boundary condition of the pile as well as the aspect ratio and rigidity ratio of the subgrade reaction. It is found that the self-weight of the pile leads to the reduction of the buckling load, indicating that neglecting the effect of self-weight may overestimate the buckling load of partially embedded piles.

Dredging and reclamation which have been conducted steadily for creation of new coastal area have the demerit of taking a long time. Hence, a lot of researches on acceleration of self-weight consolidation have been proceeding continuously. In this paper, 30 cases of laboratory self-weight consolidation tests were conducted to understand the application of PDF method, one of the self-weight consolidation acceleration methods, to domestic dredged soils. Acceleration effect of self-weight consolidation was confirmed through comparison and analysis of completion times and settlements of self-weight consolidation for none installed case and 4 kinds of common used PBD installed cases. As a result of the tests, installation of PBD before filling is effective for time reduction of self-weight consolidation.

Vertical drains along with the preloading technique have been commonly used to enhance the consolidation rate of dredged placement formation. In practice, vertical drains are usually installed in the process of self-weight consolidation of a dredged soil deposit because this process takes considerable time to be completed, which makes conventional analytical or numerical models difficult to quantify the consolidation behavior. In this paper, we propose a governing partial differential equation and develop a numerical model for 2-D axisymmetric non-linear finite strain consolidation considering self-weight consolidation to predict the behavior of a vertical drain in the dredged placement foundation which is installed during the self-weight consolidation. In order to verify the developed model in this paper, results of the numerical analysis are compared with that of the lab-scaled self-weight consolidation test. In addition, the model verification has been carried out by comparing with the simplified method. The comparisons show that the developed model can properly simulate the consolidation of the dredged placement formation with the vertical drains installed during the self-weight consolidation. Finally, the effect of construction schedule of vertical drains and of pre-loading during the self-weight consolidation is examined by simulating an imaginary dredged material placement site with a thickness of 10 m and 20 m, respectively. This simulation infers the applicability of the proposed method in this research for designing a soil improvement in a soft dredged deposit when vertical drains and pre-loading are implemented before the self-weight consolidation ceases.

Vertical drains are commonly used to accelerate the consolidation process of soft soils, such as dredged materials, because they additionally provide a radial drainage path in a deep soil deposit. In practice, vertical drains are commonly installed in the process of self-weight consolidation of a dredged soil deposit. The absence of an appropriate analysis tool for this situation makes it substantially difficult to estimate self-weight consolidation behavior considering both vertical and radial drainage. In this paper, a new method has been proposed to take into account both vertical and radial drainage conditions during nonlinear finite strain self-weight consolidation of dredged soil deposits. For 1-D nonlinear finite strain consolidation in the vertical direction, the Morris (2002) theory and the PSDDF analysis are adopted, respectively. On the other hand, to consider the radial drainage, Barron's vertical drain theory (1948) is used. The overall average degree of self-weight consolidation of the dredged soil is estimated using the Carillo formula (1942), in which both vertical and radial drainage are assembled together. A series of large-scale self-weight consolidation experiments being equipped with a vertical drain have been carried out to verify the analysis method proposed in this paper. The results of the new analysis method were generally in agreement with those of the experiments.
