Shear properies of geosynthetic/geosynthetic and geosynthetic/soil interfaces which are widely met in landfill sites were evaluated from the inclined board tests. The inclined board testing apparatus is known to reproduce the shear behavior on the low normal stress most accurately. In this study, the friction angle of each interface was estimated and the tensile force mobilized at the geosynthetic was measured as well. The test results showed that the friction angle of each interface and the tensile force of the geosynthetics depended on the amount of normal stress, the type of the geosynthetics used, and the combinations of geosynthetics and soils. In addition, the sand/geotextile/geomembrane interface system was simulated in this study, and it was observed that the tensile force developed at the geomembrane decreased due to the protection effect of the geotextile located above the geomembrane. The test results of this research was compared with those of direct shear tests published, too. Finally, by comparing the measured tensile force of the geosynthetics when the initial displacement of the box occurs, when the slope is called as the critical slope, with suggested analytic solution, the accuracy of analytic solution and the applicability to design were identified.

In this paper, three-dimensional analysis of the curved levee was performed according to curvature angle, and radius of curvature to investigate the property of seepage. The hydraulic gradients in the curved parts of levees decreased in the outer levee and increased in the inner levee, compared to the two-dimensional analysis. The smaller the curvature angle and the radius of curvature, the larger the change of the hydraulic gradient, compared to the two-dimensional analysis. The effect of curvature radius on the hydraulic gradient was greater than the curvature angle. As a result of evaluating the piping safety factor for the critical hydraulic gradient, the safety factor was increased by 2~5% in the outer levee and decreased by 4~12% in the inner levee, compared to the two-dimensional analysis. Considering this reduction, if the two-dimensional analysis is performed on the curved part of the levee, and if designed the safety factor for piping is 0.1~0.3 greater than allowable FS=2.0, the safety factor of the curved part is slightly reduced, but there is no difficulty in securing stability.

The steep slopes have been increased of new roads, industrial site development and large scale residential development. The preservation administration and steep slope construction are currently investigated by many researchers in Korea. However, concrete retaining wall or reinforced soil (i.e. Block or Pannel) are being applied for the steep slope, which results in the front face form of the structure being limited. This research investigates the method that can make up afforestation environment-friendly circumstances during the construction of steep slope structure. It is considered that steep slope reinforced structure would be possible based on the monitoring results about earth pressure, horizontal displacement and consolidation quality generated during the construction of whole constructing reinforced structure. Also, there no problems in grassy surface, drainage, and deformation in spite of rainy season after construction period and until now. So that the seeding soil layer surface reinforced soil method could be adopt for steep slope reinforced structure and others.

This paper is to research the heat transfer characteristic performance of the copper-water heat pipe with the screen wicks. Recently, the semiconductor capacity of an electronic unit has been larger, on the contrary, its size has been much smaller. As a result, a high-performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angles, temperatures of cooling water and the mesh number of screen wicks. The distilled water was used for the working fluid. At the inclination angle $6^{\circ}$ in top heat mode, the two layers of the 100-mesh screen wick showed the best heat transfer performance. The thermal resistance of the two layers with the 100-mesh screen was 0.7~$0.8^{\circ}C$/W.

This paper presents the results of a comparative study between FEM and LEM on slope stability analysis. For validation, factors of safety were compared between FEM and LEM. The results from the two methods were in good agreement. This suggests that the FEM with the shear strength reduction method can be effectively used on slope stability analyses. A series of analyses were then performed using the FEM for various constitutive laws, slope angles, flow rules, and the finite element discretizations. Among the findings, the finite element method in conjunction with the shear strength reduction method can provide reasonable results in terms of safety. Also revealed is that the results of FEM can be significantly affected by the way in which the type of constitutive law and flow nile we selected.

다량의 토사가 유입된 하천에서의 유사 이송 및 퇴적 과정을 이해하고 하상재료 분포 특성을 파악하는 것은 안정하도설계를 위해 대단히 중요하다. 2006년 7월경 태풍으로 인한 수증기가 강원도내의 산악지형과 만나면서 내륙산간 지역 집중호우로 인해 지방하천에 토석류 홍수 피해가 크게 발생하였다. 인제군에 위치한 한계천은 그러한 피해를 경험한 하천 중에 하나이다. 토석류가 발생한 한계천과 토석류가 발생하지 않은 인근지역 하천인 영실천의 하천 특성을 비교하였다. 토석류 발생 이후 2008년, 2010년, 2012년의 위성영상을 비교한 결과 영실천의 하천 유심부의 위치는 거의 변화가 없는 반면, 한계천의 경우 유사이송에 의해 하천의 유심부 위치가 지속적으로 변화하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 시간 경과에 따라 유사이송 구간의 하상재료 크기가 256~2,048mm 범위인 전석(boulder)이 점차적으로 빈번하게 관측되었다. 토석류 유입 하천의 하상재료의 분포 특성을 분석하고자 하천 구간별 전석의 크기와 빈도를 조사하였다. 하천에서의 토석류 유입은 하상재료 전석의 빈도와 크기에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 전석의 공간적 분포를 조사한 결과 전석의 빈도와 크기는 하류로 갈수록 감소하였다. 또한 구간별 하상 경사, 하폭, 그리고 유속 등에 따라 전석의 공간적 크기와 빈도가 연관성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

하천 수위는 합리적인 수자원의 이용 및 관리를 위해 반드시 필요한 수문 자료이다. 우리나라에서는 수위 측정을 위해 유역 내에 관측소를 설치하여 장비 또는 인력을 통해 수위를 측정하고 있다. 하지만, 많은 관측소를 운영하고 관리하기에는 예산과 인력이 소모되는 한계가 있다. 위성 영상을 통한 시계열 분석은 전지구적 모니터링과 관측 분야에 중요한 역할을 수행할 것으로 기대되고 있으며, 특히 위성 영상자료를 활용한 수자원 분야 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 위성 영상을 활용하여 수면적을 감지하고 수위와 유량을 판별하는 많은 연구가 진행되었지만, 하천 하상의 경사와 단면 형태에 따라 수면적이 변하여 정량적인 수위 추정에는 한계가 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 Sentinel-1의 SAR 영상과 InSAR 기법을 통해 낙동강 유역의 홍수 전후의 하천 수위 변화를 분석하였다. Sentinel-1 IW 모드의 Single Look Complex(SLC) 영상 12장과 ESA 영상 처리 툴인 SNAP을 활용하여 VV(Vertical-Vertical) 데이터의 간섭을 통해 센티미터(cm) 단위지표 변화에 따른 수위 변위를 분석하였다. 위성 영상을 통해 추출한 수위 변위와 계측 수위 및 단면 자료의 정합성을 비교한 결과, 제방과 수체 경계면 식생과 하상 세굴로 인한 오차로 정량적이 수위의 정합성에는 한계가 존재하였지만, 수위의 정량적인 변동성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 수위 변화의 반응속도를 판별할 수 있었다.

Yield seismic coefficient plays an important role in the estimation of permanent displacement of a soil slope subjected to earthquake using Newmark's sliding block theory. However, yield seismic coefficients currently used in practices are not mechanically rigorous since most of them are estimated using limit equilibrium methods considering equilibrium condition only. Therefore, estimation of permanent displacement of a soil slope based on existing yield seismic coefficient may cause problems. Limit analysis estimating the range of mechanically rigorous solution is thought to be effective in evaluating the validity of existing yield seismic coefficient. In this study, a simple stability chart for yield seismic coefficient useful in practices is proposed by considering various slope conditions including stability number, slope inclination, strength parameters, etc.

The exact resolution of channel initiation points is not so easy because of the dynamic behaviors of water movement on the hillslope. To this end, Kim, Joocheol and Kim, Jaehan(2007) have represented the channel network in real world basins for slope-area regimes using DEM. This study is its sequential content and then proposes the reliabilities of the hypothetical channel networks identified from DEM, which are assessed based on the geometric characteristics of drainage density and source-basin. The resulting drainage structures on the natural basin can be found to be depicted remarkably depending on the hypothetical channel network applied by slop-area threshold criterion. In addition, it is shown that there is a wonderful geometric similarity between the shapes of source- basin in a geomorphologically homogeneous region. Area threshold criterion could have restricted the shape of source-basin, so that it might bring about the incorrect drainage structures. But the hypothetical channel networks identified from DEM deserves special emphasis on expressing the space-filling structures nonetheless.

In this study, a new direct shear apparatus was developed to investigate the shear characteristics of the rock joints at various conditions. Using the developed apparatus, various experiments on filled rock joints were carried out considering the asperity angle, the normal stress, the type and thickness of filling material and to investigated the basic shear characteristics of filled rock joints were analyzed. According to the experiments performed under the constant normal stress condition by varying the asperity angle, the type and thickness of filling material, it was shown that the behavior and strength of filled rock joint could be defined by the type and thickness of the filling material. The dilation angle of the filled joints was found to be smaller than that of unfilled rock joint, and thereby, the effect of roughness was also reduced due to the filling material. And critical thickness ratio varied according to stress level and roughness as well as the type of filing materials.
