In this study, thermal stress analysis are carried out considering material properties, curing condition, ambient temperature, and casting date of the mass concrete placed in bottom slab and side wall of the in-ground type LNG tank as a super massive structure. Also, based on the numerical results, cracking possibility is predicted and counter measures to prevent the cracking are proposed. For the tasks, two optimum mix proportions were selected. From the results of the thermal stress analysis, the through crack index of 1.2 was satisfied for separately caste concrete lots except for the bottom slab caste in 2 separate sequences. For the double caste bottom slab, it is necessary introduce counter measures such as pre-cooling prior to the site construction. Also, another crack preventive measure is to lower the initial casting temperature by $25^{\circ}C$ or less to satisfy 1.2 through crack index criterion. In the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ caste bottom slab, the surface crack index was over 1.2. Therefore, the surface cracks can be controlled by implementing the curing conditions proposed in this study. Since the side wall's surface crack index was over 1.0, it is safe to assume that the counter preventive measures can control width and number of cracks.

In this study, a fish survey was conducted to investigate the habitat status of black shinner (Pseudopungtungia nigra) designated as endangered species level from the lower part of Yongdam Dam to the upper part of Daecheong Dam. Biodiversity analysis was performed on the basis of the number of fish emerged, and biological health and physical habitat environment were quantitatively analyzed using collected P. nigra. According to the survey, the habitat range of P. nigra was found from Banguri-myeon, Buri-myeon, Geumsan-gun, downstream of Yongdam Dam. The biodiversity analysis results of all species appeared to be low in overall dominance index and relatively high in species diversity and uniformity index. In addition, P. nigra collected in this study was confirmed to have normal growth and nutritional status by the full-length-weighted relativities and condition factor. The physical habitat environment of P. nigra was 0.3 - 0.6 m in depth, 0.3 - 0.7 m/s in flow rate, and bed materials showed high frequency of occurrence in the range of cobbles (64.0 - 256.0 mm) to boulders (>256.0 mm). These results are expected to be used as data for habitat restoration and management in the future as basic data on the spatial range and preferred physical habitat environment of P. nigra in Geumgang.

In this study, the natural frequency and damping ratio of a four-harness satin woven glass/epoxy composite material are evaluated by means of modal tests and a finite element analysis. To achieve this goal, glass/epoxy beam specimens with different lengths and thicknesses were manufactured via autoclave curing. In the test, the maximum damping ratio was found to occur at the lowest test frequency. As the test frequency increased, the damping ratio decreased exponentially to a critical value. After that value, the damping ratio increased gradually to the maximum test frequency.

In this paper, a scheme to evaluate the response variability for functionally graded material (FGM) beam with varying sectional area is presented. The randomness is assumed to appear in a spatial domain along the beam axis in the elastic modulus. The functionally graded material categorized as composite materials, however without the drawbacks of delamination and occurrence of cracks due to abrupt change in material properties between layers in the conventional composite materials. The functionally graded material is produced by the gradual solidification through thickness direction, which endows continuous variation of material properties, which makes this material performs in a smooth way. However, due to difficulties in tailoring the gradients, to have uncertainty in material properties is unavoidable. The elastic modulus at the center section is assumed to be random in the spatial domain along the beam axis. Introducing random variables, defined in terms of stochastic integration, the first and second moments of responses are evaluated. The proposed scheme is verified by using the Monte Carlo simulation based on the random samples generated employing the spectral representation scheme. The response variability as a function of correlation distance, the effects of material and geometrical parameters on the response variability are investigated in detail. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is also addressed by comparing the analysis time of the proposed scheme and MCS.

The abiotic factors and the vegetation naturalness of the 13 tributary wetlands around Namgang-River were assessed to investigate the present state and to present the conservation counter plan for the wetland ecosystem of the tributaries. Assessment indices for the abiotic factors were estimated based on the dominant land use types of the riparian zone, ecological function of the upper levee, levee slope structure, artificiality and utilization intensity of the waterfront, artificiality of the revetment structure, diversity of the substrate, and severance of the transverse. The assessment index of Omi-cheon is the highest among 13 tributaries. The second was Banseong-cheon and third was Hyangyang-cheon, followed by Nabul-cheon and Yeongcheon-gang and Sugok-cheon, Jungchon- cheon, and Daegok-cheon in their order and Munsan-cheon got the lowest assessment index. Assessment indices for the vegetation naturalness were estimated based on the vegetation diversity, exotic species dominance, annual herb dominance, naturalness and peculiarity of the vegetation, and species diversity. The assessment index of Omi-cheon is the highest among 13 tributaries. The second was Sugok-cheon and third was Banseong-cheon, followed by Yeongcheon-gang, Jungchon- cheon, Jinae-cheon, Nabul-cheon, and Jisu-cheon in their order, and Yonga-cheon got the lowest assessment index. The grades of the stream naturalness were estimated based on the the naturalness indices for the abiotic factors and the vegetation naturalness. The grades of Omi-cheon is the highest among 13 tributaries as the grade I. Those of Banseong-cheon, Sugok-cheon, Yeongcheon-gang, Nabul-cheon and Jungchon-cheon, Hyangyang-cheon, Jinae-cheon, Jisu-cheon, Daegok-cheone, and Munsan-cheon and Doksan-cheon were grade II in their order, and Yonga-cheon got the lowest as the grade III. It was suggested that restoration of the simple and flat substrate, create the natural vegetation on the levee slope constructed with concrete or stone wall, and rehabilitation of the eco-bridge were demanded to improve the grades of the stream naturalness through the restoration of the tributaries for the diverse aquatic wildlife, high vegetation diversity and species diversity with the vegetation consisted of perennial herbs and trees.

This study sampled endangered species, Lamprotula coreana, and surveyed its habitat at the Guem River with three times from June to August 2013. To assess the habitat, this study conducted field survey considering diverse physical conditions of stream, such as pool, run and riffle, and measured transect, water depth, water velocity, substrate structure, and habitat type. When L. coreana collected, length, weight and age were measured. Water velocity, water depth and substrate structure were recorded to develop HSI (habitat suitability index) and performed PHABSIM (physical habitat simulation) to estimate the optimum flow discharge. Water level, flow discharge and transect data were used for habitat assessment, and PHABSIM was applied to calculate WUA (weighed usable area). Shell length was $73.1{\pm}18.4mm$ (28.5-102.0 mm), shell weight was $131.6{\pm}72.3g$ (28.0-281.0 g) and age was two to seven years from L. coreana collected at the upstream of the Guem River. Developed HSI indicated that the optimal habitat for L. coreana was 0.4-0.5 m for water depth, 0.3-0.5 m/s for water velocity and sand to boulder for substrate structure. The optimum ecological flow discharge for L. coreana was 2.1 cms and WUA was $3,730m^2$/1000 m by the result of PHABSIM. Recently, river construction work and habitat disturbance have caused negative impact on the distribution of L. coreana. The result of this study would provide fundamental data for habitat restoration and management of L. coreana.

In order to clarify the influence of gravel content on the mechanical properties of gravel-mixed decompose granite soils, large-scale one-dimensional compression tests were performed. The sample used in the study was a decomposed granite soil from Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi prefecture in Japan. After adjusting the grain size of the said soils, the specimen compacted with a certain level of compaction energy was put to the test. Based on the results obtained, when gravel-mixed decomposed granite soil was compacted at the same energy level, there existed the specific gravel content at which dry density was maximum and which also produced the minimum compression index. Furthermore, from these results, an expression based on a two-phase mixture theory was proposed to quantitatively evaluate the effects of gravel content and initial dry density and the material parameters calculated through the proposed method proved to exactly estimate the actual measuring value.

Aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) has been commonly employed as a flame retardant for ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers. In the present work, ATH was obtained from a recycling process of multi-layer packaging film wastes. EVA/ATH composite samples were prepared using a two roll-mill and flame retardancy of EVA/ATH composites were examined using limiting oxygen index (LOI) and flame retardancy test (UL94). We observed excellent flame retardancy in case of adding 150 phr or more of recycled ATH to EVA. Particle size and specific surface area play crucial roles in LOI value and UL-94 classification of the EVA/ATH composites. Smaller particle size and higher specific surface area of ATH was found out to improve the flame retardancy. Regarding tensile properties, crosslinked EVA/ATH compounds which is practically used for electric cables had similar to or even better tensile property values than the ones without ATH.

최근 친수성, 경관, 생태계 보전 등을 위해 다양한 호안블록의 시공이 이루어지고 있어 호안블록의 수리적 안정성에 관한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 배경 하에 한국건설기술연구원 안동하천실험센터(이하 센터)에서는 2019년부터 실규모 수로를 이용하여 여러 건의 호안블록 실규모 수리검토 실험을 실시한 바 있다. 본 연구는 그간의 실험 결과를 종합적으로 고찰하고 수리 검토 실험의 현황과 한계점, 그리고 개선 방향을 제언하는데 그 목적이 있다. A1 수로(급경사수로, 하상경사 1/70)에서는 7건(21회), B1 수로(고유속수로, 하상경사 1/7)에서는 2건(6회)의 실험이 수행되었다. A1 수로 실험의 유량-소류력 관계는 1.0 m³/s에서 약 20 N/m²이며, 1.0 m³/s 증가당 약 11 N/m²이 증가하는 관계를 나타낸다. 7건의 실험 결과 30분 이상 지속된 최대 실험 유량은 6~7 m³/s 정도이며, 이는 A1 최대 공급 유량의 75 % 정도로서 안정적인 수준이라고 판단된다. 이 때의 최대 소류력은 75 N/m² 정도로 나타났다. B1 수로는 5 m/s 이상의 고유속 흐름을 발생시킬 수있으며, 2건의 실험 결과 0.5 m³/s에서 약 100 N/m², 최대 4.5 m³/s에서 330 N/m²까지 소류력을 제공하여 실험을 수행한 바 있다. 따라서 A1, B1 수로를 통해 제공할 수 있는 소류력 범위는 10~330 N/m²이지만, 75~100 N/m²는 실험에서 제공된 바 없었다. 한편, 토양유실의 경우 수준측량에 의해 측정되는데, 대부분의 실험에서 Clopper의 토양손실 지수(1.27 cm) 미만의 결과가 발생하였다. 이는 시험체에 따라 여건이 다르기는 하지만, 수리 검토 실험시 3회 실험을 기본으로 하고 있고 호안재료의 침식이 기준 이하로 유지되면서 최대한의 성능을 발휘할 수 있는 소류력 조건을 얻으려는 실험 목적에 부합하도록 조절된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이러한 실험 결과를 토대로 고려해볼 수 있는 개선 방향은 다음과 같다. 강성 재료가 아닌 연성 또는 친환경적 호안재료의 허용 소류력 범위를 보다 넓게 평가하기 위해 A1 수로가 제공하는 최대 소류력을 높일 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 기본 3회의 실험 외에 추가로 호안블록이 파괴되거나 토양유실 임계치를 초과할 수 있는 실험을 수행함으로써 각 제품의 한계 성능을 평가하는 것이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
