A suction-saturation control technique based on flow pump system was developed to investigate hydraulic properties in unsaturated soils. The flow pump system is designed based on the principle of the axis-translation technique and triaxial equipment, and gives the suction-time and suction-saturation curves, the primary relationship needed for interpreting the response of unsaturated soils and link between theory and the material properties in unsaturated soil mechanics. Using the suction-saturation control technique, suction-time relationship and soil-water retention curve (SWRC) during hydraulic hysteresis were investigated with different net confining pressures and porosities. Three types of soils-two sands and a silt were used in this paper. This paper showed the effect of the hysteresis on the SWRC due to different net confining pressures and porosities. This means that a careful decision must be made as to which condition is to be modeled, since the delicate difference of the conditions in physical modeling can cause the different experimental output.

It is very important to understand characteristics of solution due to the variation of computational grid sizes, especially when turbulence model not incorporating wall-function is used. The present paper performs numerical investigation on the grid dependency of numerical solution for three dimensional turbulent flow field around a ship. In the present study a finite volume method with a modified sub-grid scale turbulence model and a numerically constructed non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system capable of conforming complex ship geometries are used. Numerical studies are then performed for a mathematical Wigley hull and the Series 60, $C_B=0.8$ hull forms. The results for various grid sizes are compared with each other and with measured data to show grid dependencies of numerical solutions.

These experiments were carried out to analyse the correlation among various soil parameters which characterize the mechanical properties of the disturbed and undisturbed soil, and to analyse Atterberg Limits for the basin of downstream of Hanriver Keum river, Nakdong river, and Asan bay. 1. Wet density of soil was the lowest in the basin of Nakdong river which contains the highest amount of clay minerals among the soil samples, and was increased in the order of Han river, Keum river and Asan bay. It was appeared that the unit weight of natural soil was changed in accordance with the clay mineral content which determines the moisture content. 2. Curved relationship was recognized, showing that dry density of soil was decreased with increasing the moisture content. Soils from the basin of Asan bay were appeared to have the highest dry density and the next was those of Keum river, the second lowest Han river, and the lowest Nakdong river. 3. When the liquid limit of soils was over 40 percent, their plastic index was above the A-line of plastic chart. 4. Between dry density and void ratio of soils, a curved relationship was found, in which dry density was decreased as void ratio increased, and the differences between them became greater in soils containing higher amount of coarse grained soil. Decreasing tendency of dry density in accordance with increase of void ratio was the most significant at Asan bay which contained the lowest clay content, and other decreasing order of dry density was Keum river, Han river, and Nakdong river.

낙동강과 밀양강의 합류지점에 위치한 김해시 딴섬 지역의 지표면하 $25{\sim}35\;m$ 구간에 형성되어 있는 고투수성 충적층 내 염소이온의 수리분산특성을 연구하기 위한 수렴흐름 추적자시험(convergent flow tracer test)이 수행되었다. 추적자로는 IW-1공과 IW-2공에서 각각 염소이온 5kg이 순간주입(instantaneous injection) 되었으며, PW공에서 일정한 양수율(2,500 m3 /day)로 채수하면서 염소이온농도를 관측하였다. 염소이온 주입 후 경과시간에 따른 염소이온농도 자료를 이용하여 농도이력곡선과 누적질량회수곡선이 산출되었으며, 관측된 염소이온농도의 정규분포를 검증하기 위한 일반통계분석이 수행되었다. 그리고, 농도이력의 증가/감소 구간에서의 함수를 추정하였으며, 두 시험에서 동일한 시간에 관측된 염소이온농도의 상관성이 분석되었다. 본 현장에서 수행된 추적자시험에 의한 종분산지수의 추정은 CATTI 코드(Sauty and Kinzelbach, 1992)에 의해 해석되었다. 추정된 종분산지수는 IW-1공과 PW공 구간에서는 0.4152 m, IW-2공과 PW공 구간에서는 0.4158 m 로서 매우 유사한 값으로 나타났다. 이는 추적자시험이 수행된 충적층에서의 용질이송이 방사상으로 비교적 균일함을 의미하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 수행된 추적자시험의 규모(2 m)를 Xu and Eckstein(1995)이 제시한 방정식에 대입하여 산정된 종분산지수는 0.0458 m 이었다. 이러한 결과는, 본 연구지역에서 수렴흐름 추적자시험에 의해 추정된 고투수성 충적층의 종분산지수가 일반적인 자연대수층에 비해 9.1배 정도 높다는 것을 의미한다. 이는 시험대수층의 투수성이 매우 높아 염소이온의 용질이송이 매우 빠르게 발생되었기 때문이다. 본 연구에서 추정된 종분산지수를 Gelhar et al.(1992)의 연구 결과와 비교 분석한 결과에서도 시험규모에 비해 매우 높은 수리분산이 발생된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 염소이온의 확산면적을 추정하기 위해, 수렴흐름 추적자시험에 의한 종분산지수와 시험대수층의 평균선형유속을 이용하여 종분산계수를 구하였다. 현장에서 수행된 양수시험에 의한 평균선형유속 22.44 m/day와 평균 종분산지수 0.4155 m를 적용하여 산정된 종분산계수는 $9.32\;m^2/day$이었다. 따라서, 시험부지 내 충적층에서 일정한 양수율$(2,500\;m^3/day)$로 지하수를 개발할 시에 양수정 주변지역으로 유입되는 염소이온의 확산면적은 1일 $9.32\;m^2$ 정도일 것으로 나타났다.

$\underline{Purpose}$: To evaluate biological characteristics of neutron beam generated by MC50 cyclotron located in the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (KIRAMS). $\underline{Materials\;and\;Methods}$: The neutron beams generated with 15 mm Beryllium target hit by 35 MeV proton beam was used and dosimetry data was measured before in-vitro study. We irradiated 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Gy of neutron beam to EMT-6 cell line and surviving fraction (SF) was measured. The SF curve was also examined at the same dose when applying lead shielding to avoid gamma ray component. In the X-ray experiment, SF curve was obtained after irradiation of 0, 2, 5, 10, and 15 Gy. $\underline{Results}$: The neutron beams have 84% of neutron and 16% of gamma component at the depth of 2 cm with the field size of $26{\times}26\;cm^2$, beam current $20\;{\mu}A$, and dose rate of 9.25 cGy/min. The SF curve from X-ray, when fitted to linear-quadratic (LQ) model, had 0.611 as ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ ratio (${\alpha}=0.0204,\;{\beta}=0.0334,\;R^2=0.999$, respectively). The SF curve from neutron beam had shoulders at low dose area and fitted well to LQ model with the value of $R^2$ exceeding 0.99 in all experiments. The mean value of alpha and beta were -0.315 (range, $-0.254{\sim}-0.360$) and 0.247 ($0.220{\sim}0.262$), respectively. The addition of lead shielding resulted in no straightening of SF curve and shoulders in low dose area still existed. The RBE of neutron beam was in range of $2.07{\sim}2.19$ with SF=0.1 and $2.21{\sim}2.35$ with SF=0.01, respectively. $\underline{Conclusion}$: The neutron beam from MC50 cyclotron has significant amount of gamma component and this may have contributed to form the shoulder of survival curve. The RBE of neutron beam generated by MC50 was about 2.2.

차량추종모형은 차선변경모형과 함께 미시적 시뮬레이션 모형의 핵심 모형으로서 정확한 차량추종모형의 적용은 시뮬레이션 모형 분석결과의 신뢰성에 영향을 미친다. 기존의 차량추종모형은 대부분 가속상황과 감속상황에 동일한 모형을 적용하거나 자극부문과 민감도 부분은 거의 동일한 형태를 취하고 있으며, 가상자료를 토대로 모형이 개발되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 모형을 추정하기 위한 연구체계를 구성하고, 둘째, 이러한 연구체계를 이용하여 신호교차로 미시적 시뮬레이션에 직접 적용이 가능한 차량추종모형을 정립하는 데 있다. 본연구에서는 이를 위해서 신호교차로에서 미시적 실측자료를 수집하였으며, 수집된 자료에서 통계적 기법을 통해서 모형 추정에 적합한 자료를 구축하였다. 현장에서 실측된 이산적인 원시자료는 차량추종모형 추정에 직접 이용할 수 없다. 따라서, 이산적 원시자료를 모형추정에 적합한 자료로 구성하기 위하여 비선형 곡선적합 알고리즘을 이용하여 연속적인 궤적함수를 구성하였고, 이를 통해서 모형추정에 필요한 선두차량과 후행차량의 현재시점과 반응시간 이후 시점에서의 위치, 순간 가속도와 순간속도 등을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서는 차량추종상황을 가속상황, 감속상황, 출발상황, 그리고 정지상황으로 구분하여 차량추종모형을 구축하였다. 가속상황과 감속상황에 대해서는 실측자료를 이용하여 모형을 추정하였으며, 출발상황과 정지상황에 대해서는 추정된 가/감속상황의 모형을 바탕으로 출발상황과 정지상황에서의 차량행태를 설명할 수 있는 모형을 구축하였다 또한, 민감도와 자극부분을 새롭게 정의하여 각 상황별로 미시적 실측자료를 이용하여 모형을 추정하였다. 이렇게 추정된 모형들 중에서 통계적 기법과 실측치와의 비교를 통해서 가장 적합한 모형을 선택하였다. 선택된 모형은 통계적 검정, 가상자료 그리고 실측치와의 비교를 통해서 분석하였으며, 분석결과 구축모형의 적용성은 우수한 것으로 분석되었다.

An experimental model which considers post-peak behaviors and pre-peak damage characteristics representing changes of elastic moduli in each damage level was developed. From experiments, some damage thresholds of rocks were determined, and regression analyses were carried out in order to represent changes of elastic moduli in each damage level as functions of confining pressure. In addition, it was intended to simulate post-peak behaviors with Hoek-Brown constants, $m_r\;and\;s_r$ for post-failure. The developed experimental model was implemented into $FLAC^{2D}$ by a FISH function. From results of parametric studies on Hoek-Brown constants for post-peak, it was revealed that uniaxial compressive strength more highly depends upon $s_r$, although it depends on both $m_r\;and\;s_r$. It was also shown that the post-peak slopes of stress-stain curves depend mainly on $m_r$. When the optimum models obtained from parametric studies were applied to numerical analysis, they predicted maximum strengths obtained from experiments and well simulated stiffness changes due to damage levels.

To evaluate methods of determining near-surface shear-wave velocities (${\nu}_s$), we derived dispersion curves of Rayleigh waves generated by both passive and active sources in Chuncheon, Korea. Microtremors were recorded for 5 minutes in each of four triangular arrays with radii of 5 ~ 40 m. Those data were analyzed using the Spatial Autocorrelation method. Rayleigh waves were also generated by a hammer source and recorded in the same area for 2 s using 24 4.5-Hz geophones. Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves was applied to those data. Velocity spectra were derived with relatively high signal-to-noise ratios in the frequency ranges of 7 ~ 19 and 11 ~ 50 Hz for the microtremors and synthetically generated Rayleigh waves, respectively. The resultant dispersion curves were combined as one and then input to inversion to derive shear wave velocities that were compared with a lithology log from a nearby well. Shearwave velocities in the top soil and soft-rock layers are almost constant with values of 221 and 846 m/s, respectively; while the inverse-modeled ${\nu}_s$ increases linearly in the gravelly sand, cobbles, and weathered-rock layers. If rock type is classified based on shear-wave velocity, the inversion-derived boundary between weathered-rock and soft rock may be about 5 m deeper than in the well log.

Recently, industrial by-products are exponentially growing because energy consumption is increasing due to rapid industrial development and improved living standards. The purpose of this study is to determine the proper mixing ratio to meet the liner conditions(must be less than $1{\times}10^{-7}$cm/sec), using pond ash and bentonite as liner. As the result of the compaction test, depending on the increase mixing ratio of bentonite, the maximum dry unit weight was decreased but the optimum moisture content was tended to be increased at the compaction curve. As the result of the permeability test, depending on the increase mixing ratio of bentonite, the coefficient of permeability showed tendency to be decreased in the form of index and the tendency was caused by the hydration reactions filling the void of the pond ash. When the mixing ratio of bentonite was approximately over 15%, it was satisfied with the land fill liner conditions. In other words, it is necessary to consider other mixtures containing the cement or another material in the economical aspect for application of the pond ash.

The performance of underwater acoustic communication is greatly affected by multipath propagation and Doppler spread. This paper proposes a new communication technique, the Triangle Spread Carrier (TSC) technique, by modifying the existing Sweep Spread Carrier (SSC) technique that is strong in a multipath propagation environment. The proposed TSC technique is a form in which the up-chirp and down-chirp signals have repeated carriers, and each correlation function characteristic is used to estimate and correct the Doppler shift frequency of the receiving signal. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed TSC technique, we present the results of simulations using underwater channel simulators and sea trial conducted in the East Sea. When demodulating using only the estimated Doppler shift frequency as a result of the sea trial, the uncoded bit error rate was up to 0.194, but when the proposed method was applied, the uncoded bit error rate was reduced to 0.001.
