There are many limitations for ensuring structural stability of retaining wall. Especially, L-shaped retaining wall and gravity retaining wall need large space, and massive concrete, respectively. Assembled Earth Retailing (AER) wall was developed to overcome the shortcomings. In this paper, stability of AER wall is verified by field model tests and the 3D-numerical analysis. The results show that horizontal displacement of AER wall was reduced by maximum 67.84% for conventional retaining walls, and earth pressure acting on the retaining wall was reduced by maximum 73.19%.

The masonry stone arch bridge, due to its superior durability and aesthetics, has been one of the oldest and popular types of short span bridges. In Europe, this type of bridges have been continuously constructed, and numerous related researches have been conducted until recently. However, there are few construction cases in Korea since the economic efficiency and the construction effectiveness is not contentable. Therefore, this study proposed the reinforced joint to improve structural performance of the conventional arch systems which is proposed by previous researchers. The structural performance of the proposed reinforced joint, which consists of the transverse loop joint and the longitudinal reinforcement, is validated by experimental test of an arch bridge which is constructed using precast concrete segments. Based on this results of the experimental test, it is concluded that the strength of arch bridges can be enhanced by applying the proposed reinforced joints since the reinforced joint restrains hinge behavior and relative displacement between segments with a little reinforcement.

In this study, an Assembled Earth Retaining Wall (AER wall) is newly proposed. The AER wall combined stabilizing piles names as Back Supporting Beam is developed to improve stability and economics of existing retaining walls. For the verification of the AER wall, the field model tests and 3D numerical analyses were performed. As a result of the field tests, it can be confirmed that the earth pressure is considerably reduced compared with the L-shaped retaining wall. Also, the 3D numerical analyses show that AER wall is at least 29.85% more effective at lateral displacement than general L-shaped retaining wall. In other words, AER wall is expected to raise economical efficiency because of excellent mechanical stability of Back Supporting Beam.

최근 국내 연안역에는 관광의 활성화 등의 목적으로 잔교가 많이 가설되고 있다. 그러나 잔교의 설계에 대한 규정이 없어 현재는 항만 및 어항설계기준을 준용하여 설계하고 있는 실정이며, 또한 지역적 특성을 반영하지 못하고 건설되어 과다한 단면을 사용하는 경우가 많고, 경제성이나 경관성을 갖추지 못한 경우가 많은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 합리적인 잔교용 설계기준을 마련하기 위한 기초적인 연구로써 지반조건을 고려한 잔교의 거동특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 해석모델을 개발하고, 다양한 해석조건에 대한 해석을 수행하여 그 특성을 정리하고자 하였다. 이를 통하여 잔교의 합리적인 구조시스템을 개발하고, 설계기준을 정리하는데 이바지 하고자 한다. 이 연구에서는 서해안의 연약지반을 고려하기 위해 지반스프링을 이용한 해석모델을 개발하고, 다양한 해석조건에 대한 해석을 수행하여 그 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 조립식 잔교는 Capbeam, Wood Deck, ㄱ형강, Pile로 네 가지의 구성으로 이루어지고, 이 네 가지 요소의 재료는 강재로 사용하였으며, 하중에 대해서는 항만 및 어항설계기준을 준용하여 군중하중 $5kN/m^2$, 월파력 $20.1kN/m^2$을 사용하였고, 풍하중은 도로교 설계기준을 이용하여 산정한 $3.309kN/m^2$을 사용하였다. 재하하중 및 하중에 대한 최적단면에 대한 연구를 활용하여 본 연구에서는 지반조건의 영향, Capbeam과 Pile의 크기변화, 사항 등의 영향을 고려하였을 때 각 구성요소에서 발생하는 단면력의 변화와 축력, 접합부 모멘트 등의 외력과 내력을 정리하여 잔교의 거동특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 다양한 변수해석을 수행하기 위하여 지반조건을 고려한 2D 해석모델을 개발하였으며, 본 연구에서 고려한 군중하중, 풍하중, 월파력의 설계하중 중에서는 월파력이 지배적인 것을 알 수 있었다. Pier의 지름이 증가 하면 작용하는 월파력이 커지고 따라서 단면력이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 합리적인 Pier의 크기 결정이 경제적이고 경관이 우수한 잔교 건설에 중요 요인임을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 잔교의 설계기준 정립에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되나, 보다 합리적인 잔교의 설계와 시공을 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Precast Concrete Lining (PCL) is invented in order to resolve the problem of the cast-in-place concrete lining in Norway, However PCL could not consider the effect of earthquake because an earthquake rarely occurs in the region of Northern Europe, Consequently, the analysis of the effect of earthquake on PCL should be made before introducing PCL to Korea. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the stability of tunnel applying PCL in the case of earthquake. To evaluate the seismic performance of PCL, we used shaking table apparatus by 1/5 scale down model. The result of this research is as shows that deep tunnells satisfied for Korea seismic design criteria.

In this study, shape optimization was performed to improve the vibration isolation capability of an anti-vibration rubber assembly, which is used in the field option cabin of agricultural tractors. A uniaxial tension test and biaxial tension test were performed to characterize the hyper-elastic material properties of rubber, and the data were used to calibrate the material model used in the finite element analyses. A field test was performed to quantify the input excitation from the tractor and the output response at the cabin frame. To account for the nonlinear behavior of rubber, static analyses were performed and the load-displacement curve of rubber was derived. The stiffness of the rubber was calculated from this curve and input to the harmonic analyses of the cabin. The results were verified using the test data. Taguchi's parameter design method was used to find the optimal shape of the anti-vibration rubber assembly, which indicated a shape with reduced stiffness. The vibration of the cabin frame was reduced by the optimization by as much as 35% compared to the initial design.

To improve water quality for agricultural use, it is needed to introduce the natural and low-cost self-purification system. It is also necessary to develop the water purification facilities for more efficient and convenient design, construction, operation and management. This study aims to develop the practical facilities to improve water quality for agricultural use. The practical detention pond system, which uses artificial floating island and shield skirts with bio-media, enhanced removal efficiencies of SS, TN and TP more particularly than the detention pond using an auxiliary dam. The removal efficiencies SS, TN and TP for the practical detention pond were 55.7%, 61.0% and 55.9%, respectively. The facilities of the practical detention pond has a lot of disadvantages such as the low-cost and high efficiency as well as uncountable impacts regarding ecology and landscape. However, an auxiliary dam is recommended to be installed in shallow depth due to low efficiency.

The purpose of this study is to develop a precast concrete structural wall system that can assure reliable seismic performance. In previous studies, the connections of precast concrete structural walls have had some problems in their seismic performance. Therefore, this research proposes precast concrete structural walls which have an improved seismic performance. One is a hybrid precast concrete structural wall that is composed of a reinforced concrete component and a precast concrete component, and another is a precast concrete wall whose reinforcements have a partially reduced section and are partially unbonded from the surrounding concrete. To evaluate the seismic performance of the proposed precast concrete structural walls, the behavior of three specimens, including a reinforced concrete wall, were subjected to reversed cyclic combined flexure and shear. According to the test results, the proposed precast concrete structural walls have reliable seismic performance.

Crib wall is one of the segmental grid retaining walls using headers and stretchers to establish the framework of the wall. In this method, grids formed by the intersection of headers and stretchers are generally filled with the gravel to maintain the weight of the wall. Therefore, the construction can be carried out with higher speed and much economically when compared with the concrete retaining wall. Furthermore, it has high drain capacity, and environmentally friendly aspects also have been pointed out because the possibility of the planting at the front of the wall. However, in the crib wall method, the relative movement between the individual headers and stretchers was generally recognized, and stress redistribution in the gravel filling was also observed when subjected to the external loading and self-weight of filling. Therefore, it has been thought that the distribution of the earth pressure in the crib wall system differ from that of the concrete retaining wall. In this study, the surcharge tests using the scaled model crib wall was carried out to observe the distribution of the earth pressure in the segmental grid retaining wall. The earth pressure was measured in the six specified height of wall, and the distribution of the pressure was analyzed. Furthermore, the earth pressure by computation or by the test using the concrete retaining wall was also considered to make comparison.
