Electrical soundings and mappings were conducted to elucidate the geoelectrical structures of the local area of Cheju Island. The areas of the electrical surveys are coastal areas of Cheju Island, Gwagji, Sinpung-Sincheon. Generally, the geoelectrical structures of these areas are closely related with hydrogeological structures and it is very important to elucidate the geoelectrical structures for the water supply problems. Even though the results of electrical surveys in coastal areas of Cheju Island differ from place to place, there exists a general tendency of resistivity decrease with depth and the zone in the vicinity of mean sea level has low resistivity value. Also, there is good correlation between the low resistivity zone and the ground water distribution in the survey areas. A careful examination of the results of this study enabled resistivities of the rocks in Cheju Island to be divided in some categories. The resistivities of rocks unsaturated with ground water are greater than about 1000 ohm-m. The rocks saturated with fresh water have the resistivity value of about few hundreds ohm-m. Last, the rocks saturated with saline and/or brackish water have the resistivity value of about few tens ohm-m. The subsurface resistivity distribution of Cheju Island seems to be strongly dependent on the hydraulic characteristics of the rocks, and the amount and the salinity of the ground water in the rocks rather than the surface geology of the area.

Electrical resistivity survey (2D and 3D) were employed for detection of possible weak zone of core zones of three central core earth-rockfill dams in Korea. In the 2D results, the core zones is lower resistivity zone with less than $50{\sim}400ohm{\cdot}m$, and the basement is relatively higher resistivity zone with over $1,000ohm{\cdot}m$. In the 3D results, especially, the weak zone with under $100ohm{\cdot}m$ was detected spatial distribution area in the dam. We also drilled boreholes to collect soil samples of core zones of each dam. Water was not used during boring, because water for rotary wash boring could cause structural damages in earth dams. We found that the soil samples of core zones from all of the boreholes correspond to CL (USCS), but we also found that the fluidized or water-saturated soil samples were found in lower resistivity zones. Therefore, the electrical resistivity survey and drilling method without water are a quick and efficient method for structural-health evaluation which is detection of possible weak zones in earth core rockfill dams.

Resistivity tomography has become an important tool to image underground resistivity distribution. This method has been widely applied to site investigation for engineering and environmental purpose. In resistivity tomography, various electrode arrays can be used and each array has both merits and demerits. For example, the pole-pole array has high signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), but its resolution is too low. The dipole-dipole array has low S/N ratio, but its resolution is very high. The Pole-dipole may has intermediate Snf ratio and resolution. The modified Pole-dipole array, recently proposed, shows reasonable S/N ratio and resolution, which are comparable to the pole-dipole array. These electrode arrays except the pole-pole array, however, have the problem that the apparent resistivity can diverge at some special electrode Positions. Also, the Pole-Pole array may not reflect the doe resistivity of an anomalous body. In this study, we propose a new electrode array, mixed array, where pole-dipole and modified pole-dipole ways are selectively used with the relative positions of current and potential electrodes. The mixed array has the same level of S/N ratio and resolution as the pole-dipole array and the apparent resistivity does not diverge in the receiver hole. Furthermore, the apparent resistivity using the array can reflect the true resistivity of the anomalous body.

Load Resistance Factor Design method is used increasingly in geotechnical design world widely and resistance factors for drilled shafts are suggested by AASHTO. However, these resistance factors are determined for intact rock conditions; by comparison, most of bedrocks in Korea have weathered condition, so that applying the AASHTO resistance factors is not reasonable. Thus, this study suggests the proper resistance factors for design of drilled shaft in Korea. The 22 cases of pile load test data from 8 sites were chosen and reliability-based approach is used to analyze the data. Reliability analysis was performed by First Order Second Moment Method (FOSM) applying 4 bearing capacity equations. As a result, when the Factor of Safety (FOS) was selected as 3.0, the target reliability indexes (${\beta}_c$) were evaluated as 2.01~2.30. Resistance factors and load factors are determined from optimization based on above results. The resistance factors ranged between 0.48 and 0.56 and load factors for dead load and live load are evaluated as approximately 1.25 and 1.75 respectively. However, when the target reliabilities are considered as 3.0, the resistance factors are evaluated as approximately 50% of the results when the target reliability index was 2.0.

유기물/무기물 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 메모리 소자는 간단한 공정과 3차원의 고집적, 그리고 플렉서블한 특성을 가지고 있어 차세대 전자 소자 제작에 매우 유용한 소재이기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 다양한 유기물 메모리 소자중에서 유기 쌍안정성 소자(organic bistable devices, OBD)의 전하 수송 메커니즘은 많이 연구가 되었지만, 트랩의 밀도와 분포에 따른 전기적 특성에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 두 전극 사이에 나노 입자가 분산되어 있는 유기물 박막에 존재하는 트랩의 밀도와 분포로 인해 같은 인가전압에서도 다른 전도율이 나타나는 현상을 분석하였다. 하부 전극으로 Indium-tin-oxide가 코팅된 유리기판과 상부 전극인 Al 사이에 나노입자가 분산된 폴리스티렌 박막을 기억 매체로 사용하는 OBD를 제작하였다. OBD의 전기적 특성을 관찰하기 위하여 space-charge-limited-current (SCLS) 모델을 사용한 이론적인 연구를 실험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 계산된 전류-전압 결과는 트랩 깊이에 따른 가우스 분포로 이루어진 개선된 SCLS 모델을 사용하였을 때 측정된 전류-전압 결과와 잘 일치 하였다. 낮은 인가전압에서 Ohmic 전류가 생기는 것을 개선된 SCLS 모델과 병렬저항을 사용하여 설명하였다. 이 연구 결과는 유기물/무기물 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 OBD의 트랩의 밀도와 분포에 따른 전기적 특성을 이해하는데 도움을 준다.

This study was carried out to investigate the occurrence and distribution of ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant weeds and to estimate the appeared areas of resistant weeds in the paddy fields of Gyeongnam province of Korea in 2017 and 2018 using a soil assay method. Compared with the 2012 survey, this study showed that the infested ratio of ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant weeds increased from 1.0% to 66.8% and the infested area increased from 876 ha to 49,008 ha. The infested area of ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant weeds was estimated in Ulsan-si (8.4%), Hapcheon-gun (8.3%), Haman-gun (7.9%), Goseong-gun (7.9%), Hadong-gun (7.3%), Jinju-si (7.2%), Changnyeong-gun (7.0%), Gimhae-si (6.4%), Miryang-si (5.5%), Busan-si (4.9%), Uiryeong-gun (4.6%), Namhae-gun (4.3%), Geochang-gun (4.2%), Changwon-si (3.8%), Geoje-si (2.9%), Yangsan-si (1.8%), Sancheong-gun (0.9%) and Tongyeong-si (0.4%), and the herbicide resistant weeds was not occurred in Hamyang-gun. The most dominant ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant weeds in paddy fields were Monochoria vaginalis, followed by Echinochloa oryzicola, Lindernia dubia, Scirpus juncoides, Ludwigia prostrata, Cyperus difformis, Sagittaria trifolia and Rotala indica. ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant M. vaginalis, L. dubia, and E. oryzoides occurred throughout Gyeongnam province, and ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant S. trifolia and R. indica were only found in Gimhae-si. Therefore, these results will be utilized to estimate population dynamics of ALS inhibiting herbicide-resistant weeds and provide proper management practices in the paddy fields of Gyeongnam province.

The freezing resistance of Eleocharis kuroguqai was evaluated in artifical and natural freezing conditions in relation to tuber size, depth of tuber burial and soil moisture conditions. Osmotic potential of immature and mature tuber of E. kuroguqai before hardening was -12.1 and -23.5 bar, respectively, but decreased to -61. 0 and -67.1 bar after 120-day hardening period. Percent survival of E. kuroguqai tubers during the winter period was 13% and 67% in dry and moist moisture conditions at burial of 5cm depth, but all tubers were survived in the three moisture conditions employed when buried at 25cm depth. Greater decrease of osmotic potential was observed in tubers buried at 5cm depth than tubers buried at 25cm depth, resulting in greater freezing resistance in the former. Large tuber was more susceptable to freezing temperatures than small tuber.

청정 에너지원으로 높은 잠재력을 가지고 있는 가스하이드레이트는 상업적 기술개발이 미확보된 상태임에도, 우리나라에서 부존이 직접적으로 확인되었기 때문에 에너지원으로서 그 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 현재 전세계적으로 가스하이드레이트 개발 및 생산에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이에 대한 기초자료로서 가스하이드레이트가 함유된 퇴적층의 물성자료가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 입도 분포별 총 5가지의 미고결 시료를 대상으로 투과도, p파속도, 전기비저항 측정을 수행하였다. 연구에 사용된 미고결 시료는 Hama#5($774{\mu}m$), #6($485{\mu}m$), #7($258{\mu}m$), #8($106{\mu}m$) 4가지와 Hama#6과 Hama#7을 1:1($371{\mu}m$)로 혼합하여 사용하였다. 실험에 사용된 장비는 가스하이드레이트를 인공적으로 생성시키기 위해 퇴적층을 모사할 수 있는 고압셀과 자료획득장비, 유체 주입장비, 온도 유지장비이다. 또한 투과도 측정에는 차압계, 전기비저항 측정에 RLC meter, p파속도 측정에 음파 송수신장비를 사용하여 각각의 물성을 측정하였다. 실험과정을 단계별로 요약하면 먼저 시료를 고압셀에 충진한 뒤 주입된 물의 양으로부터 공극률을 측정하고, 절대 투수계수를 측정하였다. 그 후, 메탄가스를 주입하여 퇴적층 내 수포화도(water saturation)를 잔류상태(irreducible saturation)로 유지시키고 메탄가스를 추가적으로 주입하여 원하는 압력까지 가압한 뒤 온도를 $1^{\circ}C$로 낮추었다. 가스하이드레이트의 생성은 급격한 압력강하로부터 알 수 있다. 최종적으로 가스하이트레이트가 함유된 퇴적층의 상대 투수계수를 측정하기 위해 메탄가스를 주입하였고 각각의 측정장비를 통해 전기비저항 및 p파 속도를 측정하였다.$V_g$, $V_h$, $V_w$, $V_ss$는 각각 가스의 부피, 하이드레이트의 부피, 물의 부피, 모래의 부피이다. 또한 수포화도, $S_w=\frac{V_w}{V_v}$이며 하이드레이트 포화도, $S_h=\frac{V_w}{V_v}$, 가스 포화도, $S_g=\frac{V_g}{V_v}$로 정의된다. 본 실험의 결과 투과도는 가스의 부피비, $\frac{V_g}{V}=nS_g$에 민감한 반응을 보였으며, 비저항은 공극수의 부피비, $\frac{V_w}{V}=nS_w$에 민감한 반응을 보였다. 또한 p파 속도는 고체의 부피비, $\frac{V_s+V_h}{V}=n(1-S_h)$에 민감한 반응을 보였다. 이러한 실험의 결과는 가스하이드레이트 개발, 생산 연구에 있어 기초 물성자료로 활용되는데 도움을 줄 것이다.

Conventional analysis of spectral induced polarization (SIP) data consists of measuring impedances over a range of frequencies, followed by spectral analysis to estimate spectral parameters. For the quantitative and accurate estimation of subsurface SIP parameter distribution, however, a sophisticated and stable inversion technique is required. In this study, we have developed a two-step inversion approach to obtain the two-dimensional distribution of SIP parameters. In the first inversion step, all the SIP data measured over a range of frequencies are simultaneously inverted, adopting cross regularisation of model complex resistivities at each frequency. The cross regularisation makes it possible to enhance the noise characteristics of the inversion by imposing a strong assumption, that complex resistivities should show similar characteristics over a range of frequencies. In numerical experiments, we could verify that our inversion approach successfully reduced inversion artefacts. As a second step, we have also developed an inversion algorithm to obtain SIP parameters based on the Cole-Cole model, in which frequency-dependent complex resistivities from the first step are inverted to obtain a two-dimensional distribution of SIP parameters. In numerical tests, the SIP parameter images showed a fairly good match with the exact model, which suggests that SIP imaging can provide a very useful subsurface image to complement resistivity.

This study considers the case when a district with a high development possibility is set up as a regulation region. Initial assumption is that there would be regulation resistance in and around the regulation region. Pyeongchang is taken as a study areas, performing necessary analysis of environment regulation and regulation resistance based upon spatial analysis with the use of GIS. The research proceeding steps are as follows. After examining Pyeongchang present environment regulation state, environment regulation map is constructed, and classification of Pyeongchang's relatively development possibility level map is made. Using this regulation map and development possibility level map, relative regulation resistance level is measured. The results that the rates of Pyeongchang environment regulation region in its present state was higher than Namhan river basin's regulation region rates. Also, overlapping a high development possibility level region with an environment regulation region, the analysis results give reasons to expect high level of regulation resistance in Doam-myeon and Jinbu-myeon in small town units. The analysis of Pyeongchang new buildings locations with regard to environment regulation showed intensive distribution in the regulation region with high development possibility level and adjacent areas (about 66% of new buildings are distributed within 500m range from regulation region). Such results show that the local administration and existing environment regulation policy, not capable of offering direct benefit to the population, are having immanent problems in environment sustainable development and connected with it environment harm causation.
