Recently, due to increased tourism and leisure activities, falls by fishers from coastal wave-dissipating blocks (breakwaters) in Korea have been rising. We investigated the optimal mesh size for use in safety nets designed to cover Tetrapod (TTP) breakwaters to prevent casualties from falls. This is a prerequisite for considering the scale and economics of safety net facilities. The optimal mesh size was determined based on the fisher gender and age, and the bodily features of Koreans. The optimal mesh size was found to be 18.6-27.0 cm, derived based on the femoral length and chest circumference.

This study was performed to obtain fundamental data on temperature increases in the dental tissues irradiated by IO.opm laser radiation. For this purpose a experimental facility was established. which was composed of a CO2 laser. a shutter unit and a temperature sensing device. The temperature changes in the pulp chamber of extracted molars. during and after the laser irradiation. were measured as function of laser power. the time of irradration and the thickness of the sample. An empirical formula for the maximum temperature increases, $\DeltaT_m$ was derived from the measured data as follows; $\DeltaT_m=\alphaP\Delta\tauexp(-\betad)$$ where P. $\Delta\tau$ and d are the laser power(W). irradiation time{sec) and the thickness(mm) between pulp chamber and occlusal surface. respectively. Also a theoretical calculation model based on simplified assumptions were established and the results from the calculation were compared with the measured temperature data. A fairly good agreement was obtained.obtained.

한반도 기후변화 경향은 이미 기상 생태 환경 수자원 등 광범위한 부분에서 감지되고 있다(기상청, 2011a, 2011b). 현재까지의 연구에 따르면 한반도 기후변화에 따른 영향으로 강우패턴은 첨두강우가 7월에서 점차 8월로 이동 변화하는 것으로 전망되고, 양적으로 연강수량은 점차 감소가 전망되면서도 극한 값은 발생빈도와 크기가 점증할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 그래서 그간 기존댐에 대한 재평가(1998, 2010, 2012)와 발생 가능한 최대강우량 설계기준으로 기존 댐의 여수로 배제 능력을 증대시키는 비상여수로 설치 등 기존 댐 시설위주의 효율적인 기후변화 대응 또는 적응 방안을 시행해 왔다. 그러나, 기후변화로 인한 기상 상황은 전에 발생한 적이 없었던 새로운 기상이변과 재난을 가져오고 있다. 이에 기상 변화에 하나의 시설로서 대응 하던 방식에서 한 번의 기상이변이 유역 전반에 걸쳐 재난을 발생하는 최근의 상황에 맞추어 수자원 시설을 계획하는 방식에 대한 변화의 필요성 있다고 생각하였다. 이에 장래 전망되는 기후변화를 감안하여 이수와 치수 시설의 가뭄과 홍수에 대한 대처 능력을 유역 차원에서 평가하는 방법을 찾아보고자 한다. Robust 하다는 것은 어떤 상황에서도 작동이 되는 것을 말하는 강건한 계획으로, 이와 같은 시설 계획을 위해서는 먼저 현재의 시설물에 대한 회복력을 판단하는 평가가 있어야 할 것이다. 따라서, 용수공급이든 홍수 재난이든 회복력(복원력)에 대한 평가를 하고, 대안에 대한 로버스트 의사 결정 방법(RDM: Robust Decision Making)을 적용하여 우수한 대안을 찾으면 강건한 시설계획 수립이라는 절차가 될 수 있다고 판단하였다. 본 연구는 회복력(복원력)을 갖는 로버스트 의사결정방법에 대한 과거 연구 조사를 기초로 하여 연구 수행 절차를 마련한 후에 장래 한반도 기후변화 시나리오를 시범 유역에 적용하여 수자원 시설의 복원 또는 회복력을 분석하고, robust 의사결정방법을 적용함으로써, 향후 로버스트 수자원 시설 계획이 어떻게 이루어져야 하는지와 함께 이수와 치수 시설의 종합적인 계획 등에 대한 개념적인 절차와 방법의 제시를 도모하였다.

기후변화로 인하여 강우특성이 변화하여 기존 치수시설물의 설계능력을 초과하는 홍수사상이 빈발하고 있다. 특히, 도심지내의 하천변 저지대는 대표적인 침수취약지역으로 강우사상이 설계빈도를 상회하는 경우 침수피해를 입을 수 있는 지역이다. 기후변화로 인하여 강우특성이 변화하는 상황에서 기존 빗물펌프장의 치수능력 증대 또는 신규시설의 설치가 필요하지만, 부지확보의 어려움으로 신규사업의 진행이 어려움을 겪고 있는 상황이다. 이와 같은 문제점에 대비하여 기존 빗물펌프장 설계단계에서 고려하지 않고 있는 요소의 추가적인 검토가 필요하다. 빗물펌프장의 유수지 용량 설계단계에서는 유입되는 우수의 수문곡선과 펌프의 최대토출량을 비교하여 잔류하게되는 우량수문곡선을 적분하여 설계용량을 산정한다. 그러나, 빗물펌프장의 실제 운영단계에서는 유수지 내의 수위와 하천의 수위를 고려하여 단계적으로 펌프를 가동하기 때문에 설계단계의 가정과 차이가 발생하게 된다. 또한, 빗물펌프장은 넓은 부지에 유입구와 흡수정을 설치함에 있어서 배치에 따른 유수지내의 흐름특성을 고려하지 않고 있다. 흡수정 설계단계에서는 흡수정으로 유입되는 흐름 특성이 토출성능에도 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 이에 대한 분석이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 빗물펌프장의 유수지 및 흡수정 형상과 펌프운영 기준을 반영하여 2차원 수치해석을 수행하고 유수지내의 흐름특성을 재현하였다. 수치모의결과, 유수지 형상에 따라서 흐름특성이 상이하고 흡수정 인근의 흐름특성이 유수지와 흡수정 배치에 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었다.

여수로는 수리시설의 계획저수위보다 높아진 수위를 낮추기 위하여 물을 안전하고 신속하게 방류하는 시설로 조절형식과 비조절 형식으로 구분한다. 조절형식은 인위적으로 조절수문을 이용하여 수위를 조절하는 형식으로 수문식과 밸브식으로 분류하며, 이상홍수대비 비상방수문에 많이 사용되고 있다. 비조절형식은 자연적으로 수위를 조절하는 형식으로 개수로와 관수로로 분류한다. 개수로에는 측수로식, 슈트식, 자유낙하식, 월류식이 있으며, 관수로에는 터널식, 선굴식, 암거식, 사이펀식이 있다. 한국농어촌공사가 관리하는 저수지는 3400개소로 측수로식 2091개소, 월류식 1269개소, 사이펀식 5개소, 선굴식 3개소, 기타 56개소로 비조절형식 여수로가 약 98%를 차지하고 있다. 2003년도에 재해대비 수리시설 설계기준이 개정되어 유역면적 2,500ha, 총저수량 500만m³이상이고 하류지역의 재산 및 인명피해가 클 것으로 예상되는 저수지는 PMF를 설계홍수량으로 적용할 것을 규정하고 있다. 이러한 설계기준의 홍수빈도를 적용하기 위해 기존 저수지의 치수능력증대 사업이 추진되고 있다. 치수능력증대방안으로는 제당높이 증고, 보조여수로 설치, 기존여수로의 확장 등 다양한 방안들이 있으며, 구조물 안정성, 경제성, 현장 여건을 고려한 시공성 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 채택하고 있다. 그 중 가장 대표적인 방안이 기존의 설계빈도를 초과하는 PMF 홍수량에 대하여 추가로 보조여수로를 설치하여 방류하는 방안이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 사이펀 여수로가 설치되어 있는 저수지에 측수로식 여수로와 사이폰식 여수로를 신설하여 FLOW-3D로 수치해석을 수행하였다. PMF 유입에 대한 저수지의 안정성을 확보하고, 이상강우에 의한 재해를 사전에 예방하기 위하여 신설 여수로의 방류능력, 접근 유속, 허용최대유속 등 각종 수리특성을 분석하여 홍수량 배제 능력을 검토하였다.

In this study, the lightweight modular design of hybrid railway carbody structures made of sandwich composites and aluminum extrusions was investigated by using topology and size optimization techniques. The topology optimum design was used to select the best material for parts of the carbody structure at the initial design stage, and then, the size optimum design was used to find the optimal design parameters of hybrid carbody structures using first-order and sub-problem methods. Through the topology optimization analysis, it was found that aluminum extrusions were suitable for primary members such as the underframe and lower side panel module to improve the stiffness and manufacturability of the carbody structures, and sandwich composites were appropriate for secondary members such as the roof and middle side panel module to minimize its weight. Furthermore, the results obtained by size optimization analysis showed that the weight of hybrid carbody structures composed of aluminum extrusions and sandwich composites could be reduced by a maximum of approximately 17.7% in comparison with carbody structures made of only sandwich composites.

In low-lying districts of urban areas, pump stations were built to protect flooding by the heavy rain. Particularly, the automatic pump operation system was installed for efficiency in the pump stations of Seoul. However, the effective pump operation is difficult under existing operating system because the system only performs operation by reservoir depth. This study would like to improve the real time operating system suggested by Jun et al.(2007) and to apply the system Gasan 1 pump station in Seoul. For various design rainfall events, maximum water levels simulated by the suggested system were 10~70cm lower than results by the existing system. And overflow volume at upstream manholes were 50% reduced. We converted the flood control effects by establishment of the suggested system to economic indicators. To obtain the same effect, approximately 4.9 billion won needs to expand pump capacities or 3.2~6.9 hundreds million won needs to construct storm water detention on upstream area. The suggested system could improve the flood control stability by efficient operation of the existing pump station.

Endurance time is very important indicator to estimate muscle fatigue. In the case of measuring endurance time directly, it is dangerous for subject to perform a test until the point of failure to main time force. Therefore, this paper presents the model to estimate endirance time using indirect measurements such as personal factors and anthropometrical data. Previous studies had shown that personal factors such as gender and age were not related to endurance time, but recently studies have shown that it is estimated by using independent variable or predictor such as GTA (Gravitational Torque of the horizontal, stretched arm) and MVC (Maximum Voluntary Contraction). The present study investigated variables to estimate endurance time using personal factors and anthrometrical data during isotonic contractions. Twenty five healthy subject volunteered for this study, and performed three test sessions of isotonic contraction exercises at 10~50% respectively. Afterward the correlation coefficient and p-values were compared among regression models using personal factors and anthropometrical data. The results demonstrated that multi-regression model had significant coefficient of correlation, and was useful estimate endurance time.

This study sought to analyze changes in the vegetation structure and species diversity indices in the Abies koreana forest in the Yeongsil area of Hallasan Mountain and establish basic data for Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER). The results show that the number of woody plants per 1ha has increased by 804 (45.1%) from 1,781 to 2,585 individual plants, whereas the number of live A. koreana did not change much with 796 individual plants. The number of dead tree plants, however, jumped by 807 (82.2%) from 982 to 1,789 plants. With other tree species, the number of live individual plants increased by 807 (82.2%) from 982 to 1,789 plants, whereas the number of dead plants increased by 31 from 10 to 41 individual plants. Results of the average importance index analysis show that the number of A. koreana decreased, while the number of Weigela subsessilis, Rhododendron yedoense for. poukhanense, and Magnolia sieboldii increased. The species diversity index increased by 6.7% as per the maximum level in the upper layer and by 7.2% in the lower layer, respectively. Results of the stem morphology analysis show that the number of AS type was highest with 700 individual plants among A. koreana, while their distribution by type shifted from AS>AL>DS>DB to AS>DS>AL>DB. As for other species, the AS type was most abundant with 1,580 individual plants, while their distribution by type shifted from AL>AS>AF>AB to AS>AL>AB>AD. The number of newly sprouted tree plants has increased from 420 in 2014 to 453 in 2016. Of the individual plants that were alive in 2014, 23 were found dead and 33 individual plants younger than 3 years old have been newly added to the group. The number of deaths after 2014 was highest among the 2 years olds, whereas the number of 2 years olds that sprouted in 2014 was highest among the newly sprouted tree plant group. In the A. koreana forest in Yeongsil, the density of other species was rising rapidly with the exception of the dead and live A. koreana. The occurrence of new tree plants is decreasing rapidly, thereby confirming the rapid change in the area's vegetation structure. Therefore, there is a need for continuous long-term ecological research to monitor vegetation change. It can also be used as a basic data for efficient restoration research.

The objective of this study was to determine the management water level of an estuary reservoir considering three aspects: the water use, flood control and water quality, and to use a robust decision-making to consider uncertainty due to climate change. The watershed-reservoir linkage model was used to simulate changes in inflow due to climate change, and changes in reservoir water level and water quality. Five management level alternatives ranging from -1.7 El.m to 0.2 El.m were evaluated under the SSP1, 2, 3, and 5 scenariosof the ACCESS-CM2 Global Climate Model. Performance indicators based on period-reliability were calculated for robust decision-making considering the three aspects, and regret was used as a decision indicator to identify the alternatives with the minimum maximum regret. Flood control failure increased as the management level increased, while the probability of water use failure increased as the management level decreased. The highest number of failures occurred under the SSP5 scenario. In the water quality sector, the change in water quality was relatively small with an increase in the management level due to the increase in reservoir volume. Conversely, a decrease in the management level resulted in a more significant change in water quality. In the study area, the estuary reservoir was found to be problematic when the change in water quality was small, resulting in more failures.
