In this study, physical property tests and standard consolidation tests were conducted on the marine clay of Busan New Port and North Port, the middle and lower reaches of the Nakdong River including Gimhae and Yangsan, and Ulsan regions. The moisture content, a property unrelated to sample disturbance with small individual test errors, was used for regression analysis with the compression index, virgin compression index, consolidation coefficient, expansion index, and secondary compression index, among others. Subsequently, the correlation and accuracy were evaluated. Upon analyzing the correlation between the moisture content, void ratio, and liquid limit commonly used physical properties for calculating compression indexes, it was confirmed that the liquid limit had the lowest correlation. Through a linear regression analysis of the consolidation constants using the current moisture content in the natural state, a high correlation was demonstrated. Relationship equations were then presented to determine settlement and settlement time. This study suggests that moisture content can be utilized as an alternative for evaluating and calculating consolidation constants when examining ground settlement in sedimentary clays distributed in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions.

Coarse-grained soils are typical engineering materials commonly used in many civil engineering applications such as structural fills, subgrade and drainage fills for dam, railway and bridge. Various researches have been performed with related to constitutive laws for numerical analysis of such structures. This paper presents a parametric study for a constitutive model for coarse grained materials. The model is a kind of the bounding surface models based on critical state theory. A distinct feature of the model is to capture the response of coarse-grained materials with different void ratios and confining pressures using a single set of model parameters. The model behavior is defined with a set of elastic parameters, critical state parameters, and model-specific parameters. The parametric study was performed for the model-specific parameters. The result of parametric study shows that the model is capable to capture stress-dilatancy behavior and kinematic-hardening under non-associative plastic flow.

In this study, a comparison model considering the stochastic characteristics of the load and member resistance of the shield tunnel segment lining as well as the variability of the boundary condition was selected and reliability analysis was performed, and the adequacy of the limit state design was analyzed by calculating the probability of failure and reviewing the structural safety. For the analysis considering the probability characteristics of these ground constants, the ground spring coefficient was considered as the mean value by calculating the quantitative value by applying the Muirwood formula, and the coefficient of variation was selected based on the existing research data to review the models according to the change of ground boundary conditions. Through the structural analysis of these models and the reliability analysis using MCS technique, the failure probability and reliability index were calculated to examine the changes in the failure probability due to changes in ground boundary conditions.

Driving a prefabricated pile is the efficient construction method with low cost and excellent bearing capacity charateristics. But pile drinving method has often been changed to bored pile method with mechanical boring due to the unexpected problems occurred in the various domestic ground condition with landfill. So, pile driving method has more uncertainty than the Bored Pile method. This paper proposed LRFD design value which is one of limit states design method for the PHC driven pile used as building foundation to guarantee the reliable design with reduced uncertainty. This paper analysed 221 dynamic load test results(E.O.I.D : 93, Resrike : 128) and the different methods of estimating bearing design(Meyerhof method & SPT-CPT conversion method), and proposed LRFD value for each design reliability Index 2.33 and 3.0 for PHC driven pile. LRFD value of PHC driven pile represents 0.43~0.55 for Meyerhof method and 0.40~0.49 for SPT-CPT conversion method according to the deign reliability index.

This study performed microbiological hazards analysis in raw food materials, cooking processes, kitchen staff, utensils, and the environment in order to obtain contamination levels of S. aureus in school foodservice operations. S. aureus was not detected in cooked foods offered by the foodservice operations; however, it was found in raw food materials prior to cooking. In the case of vegetables, S. aureus was detected in washed mung bean sprouts, parboiled mung bean sprouts, and bellflower roots both before and after disinfection, at levels of 2.2, 1.0, 1.0, and 1.0 log CFU/g, respectively. For processed foods, S. aureus was detected in one sample of packaged bean curd as well as in mung bean jelly cake at the level of 1.5 log CFU/g. For meat products, S. aureus was detected in beef brisket and chicken at levels of 2.3 and 1.3 log CFU/g, respectively. To determine microbiological hazard data for the hands and gloves of cooking personnel, the staff members were divided into two groups: a group presenting Enterobacteriaceae or coliforms, and another group presenting neither Enterobacteriaceae nor coliforms. The results showed that S. aureus was detected on the hands of staff in each group at levels of 2.0 and 2.1 log CFU/hand, respectively, and at 1.8 and 0.0 log CFU/hand on the gloves of staff in each group, respectively. Among kitchen utensils, as an environmental factor in school foodservice operations, S. aureus was detected on meat knives, mixing bowls, and dish cloths at levels exceeding 1.0 log CFU/hand.

In the study, we carried out a 3-D analysis to assess the influence of groundwater level changes on the slope stability, conducting a series of back-numerical analysis to delineate the critical line of the shear strength of the failure surface of a landslide, and a laboratory test to determine the geo-mechanical properties of soil samples. The analysis result shows that the shear strength determined by the laboratory test was distributed below the critical line of shear strength estimated by back-analysis. Differences between driving and resisting force were also analyzed in groundwater conditions of dry and saturation. It appeared that the stress gets greater towards the slope center of the landslide, and the debris mass moves downwards. According to the analysis, the factor of safety becomes 1 with the rise of foundwater level up to -0.85 m from the slope surface, while the slope tends to stay stable during dry seasons.

도시 배수 시스템에서 유입유량이 관거의 만관 상태를 초과하거나 하류 흐름 때문에 발생하는 역류의 영향을 받는다면, 관거 시설은 과부하(surcharge) 상태인 압력흐름이 된다. 중력흐름 상태에서 맨홀의 수두 손실은 일반적으로 무시되지만, 과부하 맨홀에서의 수두 손실은 중요하며, 우수 관거 시스템의 전체 손실에 상당한 부분을 차지하게 된다. 이러한 현상은 여러 개의 맨홀을 가지는 도시 배수 시스템에서 특히 중요한 사항이 된다. 따라서 관거 시설 내 맨홀에서의 수리적 에너지 손실에 대한 연구와 보다 구체적인 설치 기준의 제시가 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 특히 배수관거 시스템의 하류부에 설치되는 4방향 합류맨홀은 맨홀으로 유입되는 주 유입관과 측면 유입관의 유입흐름의 영향으로 맨홀 내의 유수교란에 의한 흐름특성이 복잡하므로 이에 따른 흐름특성의 변화를 분석하고 에너지 손실을 연구할 필요가 있다. 그러므로 우수 관거 시스템의 우수 배제 능력을 증가시켜 도심지의 침수를 방지하기 위한 관거시설의 적정 설계 기준이 필요하며, 합리적인 설계 기준을 제시하기 위하여 과부하 4방향 합류 맨홀 내에서의 수두 손실을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형 실험의 물질적, 시간적 한계를 극복하고 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 복잡한 흐름특성을 분석하기 위하여 일반적으로 3차원 유체거동의 특성분석에 많이 사용되는 FLUENT 6.3 모형을 선택하였다. 합류맨홀 및 접합 관거의 기하 모형의 격자망은 수치해석의 안정성 확보를 위하여 맨홀과 연결관의 합류부분에서는 사면체 격자로 구성하고 합류부분을 제외한 구간에서는 6면체 격자로 구성하였으며, 각 격자의 면은 가능한 사각형 또는 삼각형의 형태를 취하도록 하였다. 합류맨홀 모형의 벽면에는 No-Slip 경계조건을 부여하였으며, 유입부에는 속도 조건, 유출부와 맨홀의 자유수면 부분의 경계에서는 대기압 조건을 부여하였다. 수리모형 실험 결과와 비교하기 위하여 유입 관거의 유속 조건을 수리 모형실험의 조건과 동일하게 채택하여 수치모의를 수행하였다. 수치모형의 적용 결과 맨홀 내에서의 유속변화, 수심변화 및 압력변화에 대해서는 수리모형 실험 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내고 있으며, 수치모형에 의하여 산정된 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 손실계수 값과 수리모형 실험에 의하여 산정된 손실계수 값이 유사하므로 우수 관거 시스템의 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 흐름 변화 및 손실계수 예측하는 데에 있어서 FLUENT 6.3 모형은 사용 가능하리라 판단된다.

This paper is aimed to suggest a site specific partial safety factor of offshore wind turbine (OWT) pile foundation design for the offshore wind turbine complex at a West-South mainland sea in Korea. International offshore wind design standards such as IEC, GL, DNV, API, ISO and EUROCODE were compared with each partial safety factor and resistance factor. Soil uncertainty analysis using a large number of soil data sampled was carried out, and their results were adapted to estimate partial safety factor of OWT pile foundation through reliability analyses. The representative partial safety factor has been estimated as 1.3. When a proposed partial factor is willing to use to other sites, it is recommended that further studies on code calibration are required to validate their accuracy using more site characterization data.

In this study, the behaviour of an unsaturated soil was analyzed by performing $K_0$ consolidated triaxial tests. Unsaturated triaxial tests were performed with matric suctions for weathered soils and stress paths under consolidation and stress-strain relationships under shear were obtained. As a result, the $K_0$ value decreased as the matric suction increased. Besides, both isotropic and $K_0$ conditions had similar shear strength envelopes at the same matric suction. Especially, strength parameters could be obtained by stress variables used in the critical state theory more reasonably than by those of Mohr circles at failure.
