Factors affecting the electrical properties of bentonite slurry were identified and electric conduction mechanism in slurry was examined. Electrical conductivity of bentonite and soil-bentonite slurry linearly increases with the bentonite content. Test result indicated that the change In electrical conductivity of slurry was mainly caused by dissolved cations from bentonite particles. The relationship between electrical conductivity and bentonite content was affected by the initial electrical conductivity of slurry solution and fine content in soil-bentonite mixture. Such influences were evaluated and the calibrated relationships were suggested. Based on the suggested relationship between electrical conductivity and bentonite content, bentonite content in various bentonite and soil-bentonite slurry can be quantitatively evaluated by using electrical conductivity measurement method.

In this paper, we present the results of experimental and analytical investigations on the structural behavior of GFRP pipes used in the water supply pipeline system. Cross-section of the pipe is consisted with two GFRP tubes and polymer mortar between the tubes. Due to the advantages such as light-weight, corrosion resistance, smooth surface, flexibility, etc., use of GFRP pipe in the water supply pipeline system is ever increasing trend. Therefore, more optimized structural design methodology should be developed. In the investigation, we conducted theoretical and analytical studies on the load versus radial deformation characteristics of GFRP pipes. In addition, ring stiffness test is also performed. Test results are compared with theoretical and analytical results and it was found that the results are agreed well within 5% of radial deformation. Finally, it was also found that the GFRP pipes used in the water supply pipeline system are strong enough to satisfy the industrial requirements.

Acoustic radiation from a submerged elastic shell with an internal fluid surrounded by the bubble layer is studied with the modal theory. An omni-directional point source located on the center of the internal fluid is used as acoustic noise source. The unknown coefficients of modal solutions are solved using the interface conditions between media. To preserve the stability of the modal solution over wide frequency ranges, the scaled technique of modal solution is used. The bubble layer is modeled with four kinds of bubble distribution; uni-modal distribution, uniform distribution, normal distribution, and power-law distribution, based on the effective medium theory of Commander and Prosperetti. For each bubble distribution, the insertion losses are mainly calculated for the frequency. In addition, the numerical simulations are performed depending in the bubble void fraction, the material property of elastic shell, and the gap between the bubble layer and the elastic shell.

A hydrodynamic numerical model, ESCORT, which enables wetting-and-drying simulation, is developed. The model is verified by applying it at the Mokpo coastal zone together with the MIKE21 model. This paper deals in only 2-dimensional aspects remaining 3-dimensional function for further research. To begin with, MIKE21 model is applied at the whole area where MIKE21 had been applied several times to produce boundary conditions for the main area. Unlike the whole area of uniform grid, main area adopts telescoping grid for ESCORT model and nested grid for MIKE21 model. The results of both model show not only good agreement for the values of water depth and tidal velocity between computed and observed ones, but also plausible wetting-and-drying simulation. However, ESCORT model needs some improvement of efficiency.

The existing analytical solutions for rectangular plates with three edges clamped and the other free are derived based on nondimensional differential equation and their characteristics are analyzed. Since Timoshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger's method (1959) can give solutions for the case limited to the aspect ratio of the plates less than one, this method are proved to be impractical for the bending moment calculation of the plates under consideration. Horii and Moto's method(1968) are modified by adding stabilizing terms to suppress overflow in the matrix computation, from which the series solution with maximum 150 terms can be obtained. By use of the series solution the convergence of computed bending moments is tested. The modified method can be shown to calculate the deflection properties for the plates with wide range of aspect ratios, but the computed x moment at the corner points formed by the free edge and the clamped edges can not satisfy the boundary condition and the cause of problem is discussed in detail.

In the study herein, the fatigue test was conducted on the fillet welds of the load carrying cruciform joint, which is frequently used in the steel structures such as bridges, ships, etc. In addition, the fatigue strength was analyzed with respect to the different post-weld treatment. The treatment methods used include Toe Grinding, TIG Dressing, and Weld Profiling. The fatigue test was under constant amplitude with repeated load for these test specimens. In the load carrying full penetration fillet welded joints, regardless the conduction of the post-weld treatment or not, they all secured the fatigue strength of category "F", which exceeds the fatigue design specifications of BS Code. In the comparison of the fatigue strength upon the post-weld treatment, the fatigue strength tends to increase according to the order: Toe Grinding, TIG Dressing, and Weld Profiling.

To estimate the biological reference points, suitable for fisheries management of sandfish Arctoscopus japonicas in the East Sea of Korea, we simulated the yield-per-recruit (Y/R) from age 0 to 6 (0-2,555 days). The stimulation was based on two instantaneous natural mortality conditions: size-dependent (M_t, d^-1) and constant (M_cons, d^-1); Subsequently, the biological reference points of the two mortality conditions was compared. M_t decreased from 0.0075 d^-1 to 0.0018 d^-1 depending on growth, and M_cons remained constant at 0.0011 d^-1 for all ages. Our Y/R model showed that the maximum yield of M_cons was 14 times higher than that of the M_t. The length at first capture to maximize the harvest at the F_0.1 points of the two natural mortality conditions was L_c,t=10.2 cm (TL) and L_c,cons=17 cm (TL). We concluded that M_t was more suitable for estimating M than M_cons; this is because L_c,t showed minimal difference from the current fishing regulations (11 cm, TL), and M_t reflected more biological characteristics than M_cons. We suggest that 10.2 cm and 0.8 as the suitable length at first capture and corresponding age, respectively for efficient fisheries management of sandfish.

하구담수호는 하천의 종점에서 해양과 만나는 곳에 방조제를 건설해 담수를 유도하여 형성되는 인공호수이다. 유역 말단에 위치하기 때문에 유역에서 유출되는 모든 수자원을 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 유역에서 발생하는 오염물질이 모두 유입되고 인공적인 담수의 특성 때문에 수질이 악화되기 쉬운 조건을 지니고 있다. 담수호의 수질관리는 유입되는 오염물질의 양이 많고 담수된 수자원량도 많으므로 부분적인 방법으로는 개선이 어려우며, 유역과 호소를 포함한 종합적인 대책이 필요하다. 담수호의 수질관리대책 수립은 크게 상류 유역에 대한 대책과 호소에 대한 대책으로 구분된다. 대표적인 대책으로는 상류 유역의 하수처리장, 축사, 농경지 관리를 통한 배출부하량 감소와 호소 내 수질개선을 위한 습지, 저류지 건설 및 준설을 통한 내부부하 감소 등이 있다. 이처럼 담수호의 수질관리를 위해서는 상류 유역에서 호소까지 종합적으로 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유역모형과 호소모형의 연계를 통해 간월호 유역을 모의하였다. 유역모형은 HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN) 모형을 사용하였으며, 유역 내 3개의 하수처리장과 1개의 분뇨처리장을 고려하였으며, 4개 지점에 대하여 보정 및 검정을 시행하였다. 호소모형은 EFDC-WASP 연계모형을 이용하였으며, HSPF에서 모의 된 유입량과 호내 설치된 4개의 양수장, 배수갑문 운영일지를 고려하여 모의하였다. 호소 내 수질 측정지점에 대하여 T-N, T-P에 대하여 보정 및 검정을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 담수호 수질관리를 위한 분석시스템 구축으로 추후 대책에 따른 효과분석에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Submarines, which require a high degree of survivability, are among the most critical combat weapon systems in military strategic assets. Conventional submarines need air to operate their propulsion systems. Exhaust gases released into the water during snorkel navigation heat the surrounding fluid, producing a temperature wake. This wake, in turn, reduces the submarine's survivability. In this study, we conducted a preliminary experiment on the temperature traces formed by an underwater submarine's waste discharge. For this purpose, we collected propulsion system and navigation condition data from domestically introduced submarines and developed an experimental system to measure the temperature traces. As a result, we observed that high-temperature bubbles injected into the tank broke down into smaller sizes, and their temperature dropped to levels similar to the surrounding fluid. This observation was confirmed using a thermocouple sensor. Consequently, the thermal imaging system designed to measure the temperature trace of the water's surface did not detect any significant temperature traces.

Different incident angles concerning ocean conditions and weather greatly influence small vessel navigation. Particularly for small vessels, different incident angles result in distinct motion characteristics closely related to stability. Based on actual coastal wave data, this study conducted simulations and experiments to analyze the motion characteristics of small vessels navigating in irregular waves. The analysis revealed that significant motions primarily occurred at lower speeds from the bow sea. In contrast, as the speed increased, the roll motions due to the bow sea decreased, but those due to the stern seas increased. Consequently, adjusting the incident wave angles according to vessel speed can enhance stability and navigational efficiency for small vessels.
