Generally it was known that member forces in the earthquake resistant design is lower than those in the general design. But it is not true in cases of water treatment underground structures, which is different in each case like water treatment plant, sedimentation basin, and utility-pipe conduit. Also, looking at the scale of earthquakes that have recently occurred in Korea, large-scale earthquakes are frequent, so when the magnitude of the design seismic force increases, it is necessary to investigate the seismic behavior of the water treatment underground structure and to deal with it. In this study the change rate of member forces was investigated by the change of design load factor (earthquake acceleration design criteria), earth depth, underground water level. The pseudo-static analysis and response displacement method was applied, and various analyzes were conducted depending on the ground water and soil depth. The proposed formula in this study will be efficient when the earthquake design code of water treatment underground structures is revised.

Peak cooling load of large buildings is generally greater than their peak heating load. Internal and solar heat gains are used fur selection of adquate equipment in large building in cold winter climate like Canada and even Korea. The cost of geothermal heat exchanger to meet the cooling loads can increase the initial cost of ground source heat pump system to the extend less costly conventional system often chosen. Thermal ice storage system has been used for many years in Korea to reduce chiller capacity and shift Peak electrical time and demand. A distribution system designed to take advantage of heat extracted from the ice, and use of geothermal loop (geothermal heat exchanger) to heat as an alternate heat source and sink is well known to provide many benifits. The use of thermal energy storage (TES) reduces the heat pump capacity and peak cooling load needed in large building by as much as 40 to $60\%$ with less mechanical equipment and less space for mechanical room. Additionally TES can reduce the size and cost of the geothermal loop by 1/3 to 1/4 compared to ground coupled heat pump system that is designed to meet the peak heating and cooling load and also can eliminate difficuties of geothermal loop installation such as space requirements and thermal conditions of soil and rock at the urban area.

On the flow of groundwater, the effect of consecutive column-wall in underground as a hydraulic barrier could be identified by conventional geotechnical methods ((1)visualiy identification of wall mass after underground excavating, (2)uniaxial compressive strength test for core of wall mass in underground, (3)in-situ permeability test in the hole after coring wall mass). However, for the cut off the leakage or infiltration of very high concentrated leachate from the waste landfill or the contaminated groundwater, the waterproof effect of consecutive column-wall in underground should be verified more objectively, by in-situ measuring of pH, temperature and salinity. and by evaluating of their consistency and similarity throughout analyzing the characteristics of basic components and their profiles through the series of chemical experiments. Furthermore, its waterproof effect could be verified additionally throughout deciding the similarity more simply by comparing the general distribution patterns including the difference of high and low peaks from the chromatograms using GC-MS for surrounding groundwater.

A theoretical study on the ground water flow adjacent to buried pipe was conducted. Incompressible and irrotational flow were considered in analytical study. Ground water flow were defined by complex potentials. Firstly, uniform flow without buried pipe was analysed and then the effect of buried pipe was considered by superposition via circle theorem. Although two kinds of flow can be added by linearity of complex potentials, investigation of the singularities of the complex potentials should be done in advance. Finally, ground water flow past a buried pipe was analysed via complex potentials and net force exerted on the buried pipe by the ground water flowing past with circulation was derived.

본 논문에서는 지중전력설비의 안전한 운용을 위하여 무선네트워크기술을 적용한 감시시스템을 개발하기 위하여 WiMAX 기술을 적용하기로 하였다. 지중전력설비는 환경친화적 도시설비의 추구로 전체 전력설비중에서 비중이 꾸준히 늘어나는 추세이다. 노후화되어가는 전력설비는 사고의 위험성이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 노후화된 전력설비를 교체하는 비용은 천문학적이므로, 교체보다는 안전하게 유지보수하는 방법이 훨씬 경제적일 것이다. 지중전력설비는 지상설비만큼이나 광범위한 거리에 걸쳐서 시설되어 있다. 그러므로 노후한 설비를 유지보수하기 위하여 유선네트워크를 사용하는 방법보다는 경제적으로 무선네트워크를 사용하는 방법이 유리하다. 무선네트워크 기술은 종류에 따라서 여러가지 장단점을 가지고 있으며, 지중설비 감시에 최적인 기술을 채택하는 것이 중요하다. WiMAX 기술를 적용하여 지중전력설비 감시에 사용하여 기존에 설치한 유선네트워크에 영향을 주지않으면서, 신규로 추가되는 센서네트워크 시스템을 쉽게 통합 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하기로 한다.

응답변위법에서 이용되는 동지반강성계수의 적절한 평가법에 대한 제안을 하였다. 현재까지의 지진피해조사 및 장기간의 지진관측사례는 지반이 공진할 때의 변형모드가 지중구조물의 피해에 가장 직접적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 지중구조물의 축방향의 지반의 변형모드와 그 타월 진동수를 특정하여 동지반강성계수를 평가했다. 동지반강성계수는 지반의 공진상태를 상정하고 있기 때문에 결과로써 지진파의 축방행 파장의 영향을 받지 않고, 관상구주물의 반경과 표층두께의 비, 표층두께에 대한 구조물의 매설위치, 표층지반과 기반의 임피단스비 라고 하는 3개의 무차원 변수에 의해 표현된다.

Recently, a wireless sensor network system has been receiving great attention for management of underground facilities. However, traditional wireless communication systems using microwaves in several hundred MHz ~ several GHz experience significant performance degradation in the non-uniform underground environment. In this research, in order to make a robust communication for the underground facilities, we propose a wireless underground sensor system based on magnetic field communication. In 3 meters underground environment including rocks, soils, water, etc.,, our proposed sensor network system has proved fully functional and met its performance specification.

The low-voltage connection box used as a low-voltage transmission line of KEPCO is intended to branch or connect to an underground line. In comparison with the utility considering the aesthetics of the distance, and safety measures are needed. In this paper, temperature and humidity, $CO_2$, water level, acceleration, and vibration sensor are installed inside the underground low voltage handhole, and the sensor data is transmitted to the ground using the Zigbee module. Antenna (Bolted Antenna) for communication with the ground was proposed and the data reception through it was confirmed. In the LF mode and the HEX mode, the transmitted data was confirmed to be a perfect reception success rate. In the case of the bolted antenna, the difference between the ground state and the underwater state was observed as a result of the experiment in the environmental environment. However, It was judged that reception sensitivity was sufficient for communication. The received data could be confirmed through PC based GUI.

Climatological characteristics in the variation of soil temperatures in Korea were investigated using Korea Meterological Administration's observation data. And the impacts of soil moisture on the variation of soil temperature were examined using observed precipitation data. The climatological averages of soil temperatures are ranged from 14.4 to $15.0^{\circ}C$ regardless of depths. And they showed an latitudinal gradient with a warm temperature at the southern region and 'U' shape as in the air temperature with a high value along the coastal region. The relatively higher heat capacity and low conductivity of soil compared to those of the air resulted in the significant delay of the maximum and minimum date with depth. As a results, soil acts as a heat source during winter while a heat sink during summer. Global warming and urban heat island have increased the soil temperatures with an average rate $0.3\~0.5^{\circ}C/10-year$ as in the air temperature during last 30 years $(1973\~2002)$. However, the warming rate is maximized during spring contrary to the winter in the air temperature. The temporal variation of soil temperatures is strongly affected by that of soil moisture through an modification of the heat capacity and heat convection. In general, the increased soil moisture clearly decreased the temporal variations and increased the deep layer soil temperatures during cold season.
