For environment-friendly construction, cut-and-cover tunnels have been constructed, thereby leading to embankment slopes with a number of steps. The slopes cause eccentric load on concrete lining of the tunnel. Nevertheless, uniform vertical and horizontal earth pressures, which are determined by considering a self-weight of embankment and $K_0$, are routinely used in structural calculation. Distribution of the earth pressures applied to the lining will lead to a biased calculation far from the actual behavior of the lining. In this study, basic study, therefore, was performed to consider the eccentric load properly in design and analysis of a cut-and-cover tunnel. A method capable of considering the eccentric load in design was proposed and its applicability was numerically examined through a number of examples.

High turbidity submersion due to torrential downpour is one of the factors that influences the plant growth. This study is focused on analyzing the plant's growth rate for Salix species such as gracilisyla, koreensis, glandulosa when these trees are waterlogged. The length of shoots for this control group in the natural state is 33.4% (gracilisyla), 24.3% (koreensis), 23.9% (glandulosa), however, they stopped growing in submersion. Compared to the leaf number of Salix species of this control group in the natural state, 144.5% (gracilisyla), 77.3% (koreensis), 40.3% (glandulosa) in the natural state 30 days, in 30 days submersion, the number of leaves is zero except koreensis. In the results of this experiment, Salix species stopped growing quickly when submersed. This study concludes that it is necessary to plant eco-friendly plants around the slope of the reservoir and dam where flooding takes place frequently.

In many parts of the world, climate warming has caused tremendous environmental disasters to repeat every year. Overuse of fossil fuels, the main source of energy, has affected the global environment, destroying the global ecosystem and depleting resources. To overcome this, efforts to reduce carbon emissions through the development of renewable energy are being actively studied at home and abroad. Already, new technologies are being reported abroad to reduce carbon emissions. Zero Energy House is a model that reduces low carbon emissions and energy use due to the use of high-density materials for high-heated materials, and can live in real life by receiving the minimum required energy through renewable energy. Although the government is trying to apply this in Korea, it is difficult to become common because of the lack of economic feasibility. The purpose of this study is to study models that can zero carbon emissions, which are eco-friendly elements, secure construction economy of zero energy house by using ventilation system, heat exchanger and energy storage system for public use, and attach automation system to window opening/closing to maintain indoor temperature.

The purpose of this study is to explore a safe, advanced, and environment-friendly demolition equipments and their operation methods. As an initial achievement, the capacity of the existing equipments have been evaluated through technical discussions and demonstrations with some experts in the related industry. From these evaluations, it was concluded that a haptic based remote control with force feed-back mechanism and sensor fusion functions would be the most appropriate to the demolition equipments. Therefore, a novel haptic device that is adequately designed for the demolition equipments is proposed in this paper. Top-down demolition method is also proposed, which is very effective in the demolition of high-rise buildings.

Ecotourism has surged from conflicts between negative impacts of mass tourism and environmental issues. As an alternative tourism, ecotourism compromises extensively environmental, economic, educational, and cultural concerns. Ecotourism can be defined as environment-based tourism that ensures sustainable growth and development through conservation of natural and human environment, promotion of regional economy, and provision of tourism service in natural environment areas. Ecotourism should consider two key challenges; an effective means that may protect local economy through tourist-based income and improvement of residential circumstances, and role as leisure space that can improve tourist's experiences. The purpose of this study was to summarize ecotourism concepts through literature search and develop an ecotourism planning framework for Korean rural communities. In addition, developed planning framework in this study was applied to Jeongdori area, Wandogun, Korea as a case study in order to analyze its feasibility. A trial application in Jeongdori area demonstrated a possibility that ecotourism planning framework can be successfully adopted to a wide range of Korean rural communities. To ensure objectivity of framework, systematic case studies must be done in the future.

This paper discusses important environmental issues that must be considered during shale gas development. Shale gas has been attracting many attention as the next key energy resource with its large abundance through easily accessible production fields, and its lower carbon dioxide & sulfur dioxide emission profile upon combustion when compared to the conventional oil and natural gas resources. Successful development of a shale gas field requires the use of hydraulic fracturing to recover hydrocarbon through the very tight shale formation, which has been frequently associated with environmental contamination issue of water, soil, and atmosphere. Therefore, environmental issues and their solution to minimize environmental impact should be considered for successful development of shale play in a future.

Enzymes are important class of catalyst for biotransformation. Stability and reusability of enzymes during the catalysis process is a key issue. Activity of enzyme can be enhanced by its immobilization on a suitable substrate by creation of specific microenvironment. A variety of membranes has been used as substrate due to the biocompatibility and simpler method to tune hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity property of the membrane surface. In this review, polymer membranes including cellulose, polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethersulfone (PES) are introduced and discussed in detail. Biodegradation of organic contaminants by immobilized enzyme is an environmental friendly process to reduce the contamination of environment in pharmaceutical company and textile industries. The controlled hydrolysis of oil can be performed in enzyme immobilized membrane bioreactor (EMBR), resulting in reducing carbon emission and reduced environmental pollution. Bioethanol and biodiesel are considered alternative fossil fuels that can be prepared in EMBR.

Due to economic or environmental reasons, green remodeling projects for old buildings are being actively carried out. Meanwhile, in the process of performing the green remodeling, the plan of green remodeling including passive and active elements has been decided based on the subjective experience and knowledge of engineers currently. Therefore, in this study, an ontology-based green remodeling decision-making support model, which can analyze the properties of old buildings and suggest appropriate remodeling plans, was established. In the developed model, once the basic properties of a building are entered, an appropriate remodeling plan composed of passive and active elements can be provided. By utilizing the results developed through the research, it is expected that it will be possible to support decision-making on more objective and appropriate remodeling alternatives development through web-based meta data search in accordance with the accumulation in remodeling cases.

This paper deals with the study of bird collision avoidance measures in UAM operations from an operator's perspective. Urban air traffic is defined as a next-generation transportation system that uses environmentally friendly electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to provide transportation services between key points within and around urban centers. For the successful establishment of the UAM industry, it is necessary to ensure safety issues that determine public acceptance. Among the hazards that can occur in aviation operations, preventing bird collisions in urban environments is a measure that can greatly secure operational safety and public acceptance. In addition to physical measures, procedural control measures are required to prevent bird strikes. In order to ensure the safety of UAM operations, this study aims to provide a direction for the establishment of UAM bird collision prevention measures by categorizing bird collision prevention measures into physical and procedural methods and flight sections such as takeoff, landing, and corridor sections. Through this, we hope to contribute to the improvement of the safety of the urban air traffic operation system.
