This paper describes vegetation based soil-media hydroseeding measures that have been previously applied as slope revegetation methods show problems such as insufficient binding force, drying, and insufficient organic matter. In particular, in the case of slope faces in regions where scattering is severe, a vicious circle exists in which remarkably low vegetation cover rates and increases in withering rates over time lead to further decreases in vegetation cover rates, which lead to further increases in erosion and scattering. Therefore, in the present study, environment friendly soil stabilizers were applied for resistance against erosion or scattering and engineering evaluations such as long-term immersion tests and flow resistance tests were conducted to determine appropriate mixing ratios. According to the results of long-term immersion tests utilizing environment friendly soil stabilizers and existing greening soil based materials, 100% collapse occurred at 30 hours and 40 days in the case of soil stabilizer mixing ratios of 0% and 2%, respectively. While the original form of the samples remained intact until the experiment was completed in the case of mixing ratios exceeding 4% indicating that 2% or higher soil stabilizer mixing ratios could affect the maintenance of forms even under extreme conditions. In addition, artificial rainfall tests were conducted on 40, 45, and 55 degree slope faces to evaluate the structural stability of vegetation based materials. Flow resistance tests were conducted on soil stabilizer mixing ratios of 0, 4, 8% to evaluate erosion resistance capability. Based on the results of the tests, environment friendly soil stabilizers applied for prevention of scattering or resistance against erosion by rainwater are considered to provide large effects to reduce losses and loss rates showed a tendency of decreasing rapidly when soil stabilizers were mixed.

The climate change occurring all over the world increases the risk, specially in urban area, Accordingly, rainwater pumping station expansion is required than before. In order to increase the efficiency of the rainwater pumping station, the analysis of flow characteristics in the pump sump is needed for vortex control. Many efforts have been made to illuminate the vortex behavior using PIV, but any reliable results have not been obtained yet, because of the limitations in image capturing and dependency of measured velocity values on the interrogation area and time interval used for velocity calculation. In this study, therefore, experiments were carried out to find out the limitation of PIV and estimate the validation of the velocity values associated with the analysis parameters such as interrogation area, time interval, grid size. For the experimental condition used in this study, the limitation of PIV and the effects of parameters on the velocity estimation are presented.

Fire protection countermeasure were considered on the straw thatched roof and wooden structure. For the fire resistant treatment, rice straw was soaked in the fire resistant liquid with different soaking time. After treatment, some rice straw sample was washed with water then the rice straws were tested to check the fire resistance performance. And the wood was soaked in the fire resistant liquid at an atmospheric pressure, vacuum-pressure condition and painted with brush on the surface. To analyse the fire resistant performance of rice straw, ignition delay time was measured under the radiant heat flux of cone heater. And the fire resistant performance of wood samples were tested with 45 degree fire resistant test apparatus and cone heater. Based on the cone heater test, the rice straw which most easily ignitable material shows the longer ignition delay time than not treated ones and even in the water washed straw show a longer ignition delay time than not treated ones. And fire resistant treated woods of vacuum-pressure treated sample showed the most excellent performance on fire resistance. And the fire resistant treated by brush and soaking showed a longer ignition delay time than not treated ones. From this experiment, it was found that a fire resistant treatment of rice straw and wood of the house can be protected from the fire spread.

This paper presents the design considerations and field applications on inflatable structure system to protect rapidly flooding damages in large section tunnel. This inflatable structure system is very valuably used to protect passively and rapidly the possibilities of tunnel damages by flooding threats and unusual leakage to be occurred during and after underground infrastructure. In particular, this system should be necessary in subsea tunnel. The predominant factors in the design of inflatable structure system are the leakage and friction characteristics between the inflater and tunnel liner. The analytical and experimental studies are performed to develop the design considerations and to examine the design parameters of the inflatable structure system. The analytical solutions are developed using membrane theory to suggest the design considerations. The relative friction tests of several fabric materials are also carried out to determine the friction characteristics according to the different friction conditions between inflater and tunnel surface. The test results show that the friction coefficients in wet surface condition are about 20% lower than the values in dry surface condition. In addition, virtual design of tunnel protection system for two virtual subsea tunnel sites which is under reviewing in Korea, is carried out based on this research. It is expected that the results of this research will be very useful to understand the inflater structure design and development the technology of tunnel protection structures in the future.

Government plans to construct a double-deck tunnel under a portion of Gyeongbu Expressway that will solve traffic problems and could also be used as a flood storage facility. Divergence tunnels connect the main tunnel to the urban areas and their construction effects on adjacent structures at shallow depth need to be analyzed. This study primarily includes the numerical analysis of construction effects of divergence tunnels on utility tunnels. The utility tunnel was analyzed for three cases of volume loss applied to the divergence tunnel and two cases of the angle between main tunnel and divergence tunnel ($36^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$). The results show that the more the volume loss was applied and the shorter the distance was between utility tunnel and divergence tunnel, the more the utility tunnel was affected in terms of induced displacements, angular displacement and stability. The worst scenario was found out to be the one where the angle between main tunnel and divergence tunnel was $36^{\circ}$ and the distance between divergence tunnel and utility tunnel was 10 m, resulting in the largest displacement and differential settlement at the bottom of the utility tunnel. A relationship between the angular displacement and the distance to diameter ratio was also established.

최근 도시화에 따른 도로구역의 증가는 도심지의 불투수면적의 확대 및 도로의 수로화를 야기하여 집중호우 발생 시 노면 및 저지대의 침수를 가중시키고 있으며, 이로 인한 인명피해 및 재산 피해는 점차 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 기후변화에 따른 강우량의 변화 및 국지성 집중호우 등을 고려하고 도심지 침수 방지 및 방재성능 강화를 위하여 과거에 간선 10년, 지선 5년에서 간선 30년, 지선 10년으로 관거의 설계빈도가 상향조정 되었다. 도심지의 도로 및 유역 유출량의 배수에 상당한 영향을 미치는 빗물받이 및 빗물받이 유입구는 도심지의 방재성능강화 목적에 맞는 설계가 이루어져야 하나 현재 국내의 빗물받이 설치기준은 하수도시설기준(2009, 환경부)에서 '빗물받이 크기별, 도로 차선별 적정 빗물받이 설치간격' 으로 설계빈도 5년을 반영하여 제시된 설치기준이므로 이에 대한 수정 및 개정이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 관거시설의 설계빈도 상향을 고려한 도로 빗물받이의 유입량 산정을 위해 빗물받이 유입구 크기별 유입량을 도로의 차선, 종경사, 측구 횡경사 및 설계빈도의 변화를 고려하여 도로에서의 유출량을 산정하였으며, Froude 상사법칙을 이용하여 수리실험모형을 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 빗물받이 제원은 현재 대부분의 국도에 설치되는 크기인 $40{\times}50cm$, $40{\times}100cm$ 및 $40{\times}150cm$를 축소 제작하였다. 측구의 유량은 도로의 차선(2~4차선), 경사(도로 종경사 2~10%, 측구 횡경사 2~10%) 및 설계빈도(최대 30년)을 고려하였다. 실험 결과 측구의 횡경사가 커질수록 빗물받이로 유입되는 유량은 증가하였으며, 빗물받이 유입부의 길이가 증가함에 따라 유입부 측면부를 통한 횡유입량을 증가시켜 빗물받이 유입부의 차집율을 증가시켰다. 또한, 도로의 조건 변화 및 유입량의 변화에 따라서 흐름폭이 감소할수록 차집율이 증가하였다. 수리실험결과를 토대로 도로의 조건변화(차선, 도로 종경사, 측구 횡경사) 및 설계빈도 변화를 고려한 빗물받이의 차집율을 제시하였고 이를 회귀분석 하여 빗물받이 유입구 크기별 유입량 산정식을 도출하였다. 이는 설계빈도 상향에 따른 국내 빗물받이 유입부의 설계 기준 제시에 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

일반적인 다목적댐은 홍수 발생 시 본댐으로 유입되는 부유쓰레기 및 잡목 등을 차단하기 위하여 댐 상류에 차단망을 설치하여 1차적으로 사전 방지하고, 홍수기 이후 선박으로 부유물을 수거하여 재활용, 소각 등으로 처리하는 시스템이다. 그러나 본 연구의 대상인 한탄강댐은 홍수조절용 댐으로서 수위 변화 폭이 매우 크고 정상 조건(비 홍수기)시는 대규모 홍수터가 드러나기 때문에 댐 유지관리 방법이 상이하며 한탄강 본류 구간은 하폭과 수심 등 하도의 불규칙성과 만곡부에서 유수의 흐름이 한쪽으로 쏠리는 편기 현상이 발생하는 등 복잡한 수리현상으로 인하여 부유쓰레기의 분포를 판단하기 어려운 지역이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부유쓰레기의 유동을 모의하기 위하여 HEC-HMS 모형과 $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형을 활용하여 본류와 지류의 빈도별 홍수량 분석을 실시하고, EFDC 3차원 동수역학 모형을 적용하여 홍수조절용지 내 부유쓰레기의 유입 경로 및 정체 구역을 분석하여 효과적인 쓰레기 처리 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 소규모 빈도 홍수(2년, 5년)의 경우 중 상류 지류의 부유쓰레기는 거의 유동하지 못하고 하도의 만곡의 영향을 받아 부분적으로 높은 밀도로 고착될 것으로 모의되며, 특히 본류와의 합류점 부근에 도달한 부유쓰레기는 유로 폭이 급확대되어 유속이 거의 없는 사수역 구간으로 변함에 따라 본류 배수위 영향으로 불규칙하게 맴돌다가 고착되는 것으로 모의되었다. 중규모 홍수(25년, 50년)의 경우, 상류부의 부유쓰레기의 분포는 소규모 홍수 시와 유사한 패턴을 보였으나 중류부에서 홍수파가 본류 하도를 월류하여 홍수터로 넓게 범람하는 지역에서는 소규모 홍수 시 본류 하도 양안에 분포하던 부유쓰레기가 홍수터 쪽으로 밀려가서 고착되는 경향을 보였다. 대규모 홍수(100년, 200년)의 경우, 댐과 인접한 분석 구간 하류부는 댐 배수위의 영향을 가장 크게 받으며 수심이 깊어 흐름이 가장 정체되는 구간으로 본류와 지류 모두 다량의 부유쓰레기가 분포할 것으로 분석되었다. 분석 구간 중류부는 홍수 규모가 증가함에 따라 넓은 홍수터로 침수범위가 급격하게 증가하며 이에 따라 부유쓰레기가 분포할 수 있는 면적이 크게 증가할 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 분석 구간 상류부는 협곡을 이루고 있어 홍수규모가 증가하더라도 침수범위와 부유쓰레기의 분포면적에 큰 변화가 없을 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 댐의 치수 문제가 발생하지 않도록 효과적으로 수거 처리 할 수 있는 부유쓰레기 적치장 및 차단 시설의 적정 설치 위치를 파악하였다.

In this paper results of a linear structural analysis for design and dimensioning of disposal containers for spent pressurized water reactor nuclear fuel and spent Canadian deuterium and uranium reactor nuclear fuel are presented. The container structure studied here is a solid structure with a cast insert and a corrosion resistant outer shell, which is designed for the spent nuclear fuel disposal in a deep repository. An evenly distributed load of hydrostatic pressure from the groundwater and large swelling pressure from the bentonite buffer are applied on the container. Hence, the container must be designed to endure these large pressure loads. In this study, the array type of inner baskets and thicknesses of outer shell and lid/bottom are attempted to be determined through a linear static structural analysis.

This study is to review the site of Seoul and its urbanized area expansion in relation with a geomorphic environments. Surveying on the urbanized area of Seoul by period and related geomorphic conditions found the following conclusions. Seoul urbanized area had been expanded from the cheonggyecheon drainage basin to its surrounding hills and marshland. The marshland development began during the Japanese period from around the tributaries of the Hangang river and expanded to the areas by the main stream of the river. The extensive marshland at the point where the main stream and its tributaries of the river join has been developed relatively new. The marshland development, which took advanced engineering skills and a huge investment, is comparatively later and also involves large additional expenses to keep the areas from food damages. Judging from the above findings, this study concluded that the urbanized area expansions in a big metropolitan city such as Seoul, are greatly influenced by geomorphic environments and the importance of geomorphic conditions still hold true even today when scientific and technological developments have reached unprecedented heights.
