The bolier systems of coal fired power plants are large, non-linear systems with numerous interactions between its component parts. In the analysis of such complex systems, dynamic simulation is recognized as a powerful method of keeping track of the myriad of interactions. The boiler system consists of air/gas system and water/steam system. Due to recent reinforcement of environmental regulation on pollutant discharge and requirements of design validation on properites of boiler, the commercial programs are used for the analysis of boiler system. This paper addressed to the development of model using MMS(Modular Modeling System) developed by EPRI(Electric Power Research Institute) as the simulation tool. The developed model using MMS is tested for the design and local data on boiler combustion system of korea standard coal fired power plant boiler. The simulation results show that the developed model well reproduces responses of the combustion system with less than ${\pm}$5% error under steady state and transient state conditions. The developed model for analysis of the combustion system in this paper is general and applicable to any type of coal fired power plant.

A turbidity current in a river and a lake occurs due to diverse nutrient loading including suspended sediment in sediment runoff, which affects water withdrawal and river environments. We developed one dimensional time-variant numerical model based on Python for the Nagdonggang mainstream. We examined the numerical stability and the applicability of the model by performing the simulation of quasi-steady flow in non-flooding for three cases, which are different according to the point and the amount of turbidity inflows in the Nagdonggang upstream and a tributary. The result was reasonable in the respect of the conservation of matter. The model will facilitate to simulate a large river if we can secure the data of turbidity variations in a target river reach or measured points in a field.

이 연구에서는 SEEP2D 모형을 사용하여 하부에 투수지반을 갖는 제방 내부의 침투흐름에 대한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 제방의 재료는 4대강사업 낙동강 제2하구둑 건설 현장에서 채취한 시료를 사용하였으며, 입도분석과 들밀도시험을 통해 구한 제방의 건조단위중량과 다짐도 및 제방의 투수계수는 각각 $1.372g/cm^3$, 93%, 1.35 m/day이다. 투수지반층과 1:3 비탈경사를 가지는 제방모형을 제작하여 연직 이차원 정상류 침투해석 모형을 해석하는 SEEP2D 프로그램을 사용하여 나온 결과 값을 수리모형 실험 결과 값과 비교하였다. 모의조건은 0.45 m, 0.50 m, 0.55 m, 0.60 m의 4가지 수위(각각 Case1~4)조건에 대하여 수리모형실험과 동일한 조건을 수치모형에 적용하였다. 수치모형의 결과는 실험결과와 비교적 일치하였지만 제방의 비탈사면이 시작하는 부분에서는 수치모형의 결과 값보다 실험결과 값이 작은 것으로 확인되었다. 각각의 조건별로 수치해와 실험 결과값을 비교해본 결과 대체적으로 비슷한 양상을 보였지만 제방의 비탈사면이 시작하는 지점부터 수치모형의 결과 값보다 실험결과 값이 작은 것으로 확인되었다. Case3의 경우 4.35 m 지점부터 6.00 m 지점까지 유출이 발생하였으며 수치모형의 결과값과 실험결과 값의 차이가 가장 작게 나타났다. 사면유출 길이는 Case4에서 가장 길게 나타났으며 최대 4.10 cm로 발생하였다.

The aim of research is the evaluation of the $Cr^{6+}$ emission features of the liquid injection through emission experiments in varying conditions, based on a field-mixing ratio. The results showed that the content of $Cr^{6+}$ content in cement measured had an Ordinary Potland Cement (OPC) of 25.3 mg/kg, which constitute the largest portion among the other materials. Likewise, the emission experiment of homo-gel and sand-gel generally satisfied the standard of KSLT (Korea Standard Leaching Test) in waste of 1.5 mg/L, but in case of the standard of KSLT in soil the emission of OPC $Cr^{6+}$ of 4.85 mg/kg. These conditions is a little exceeded the criteria in the ‘Ga’ area in terms of Korea Soil Environmental Preservation Law. In addition, results generated by the mock-up injection facilities revealed that $Cr^{6+}$ emission increased as Water/Cement and injection pressure increased. At injection pressure higher than 4 kg/㎤, $Cr^{6+}$ emission exceeded the water preservation standard of 0.5 mg/L. Similarly, a pattern experiment of C $r^{6+}$ emission according to pH was conducted, in order to evaluate the $Cr^{6+}$ emission features of grout materials in leachate below pH 5 such as pH 4 acid rain or landfill. Results show that $Cr^{6+}$ emission dramatically increased in high acidic or basic state. It indicates that $Cr^{6+}$ emission will probably increase in an environment where grout materials are injected. On the other hand, concentration of leachate was determined in areas where grout materials are used. The results show that the concentration of emission in an ultra purity condition does not manifest intensity, and is affected in the OPC>MC>SC order. It means that the pollutants or $Cr^{6+}$ emission increases with decreasing concentration. As such, $Cr^{6+}$ emission will probably exceed the countermeasure criteria according to the types of gout materials. Similarly, high pressure or injection will cause increased $Cr^{6+}$ emission. Therefore, the selection of materials or mixing ratio should be considered in general as well as according to specific industries, based on the strength and pH of $Cr^{6+}$ emission.

The safety of gas utilities is intimidated by many causes. Among them, subsidence is a dominant cause to decrease the safety of gas utilities. So it is very important to monitor the displacement of subsidence. The purpose of this study is to on-line monitor the subsidence of gas utilities using Static GPS(Global Positioning System)technique. Static GPS technique, which is one of various GPS techniques and originally applied to monitor the crustal activity, was applied for two gas station in Korea Gas Corporation. Prior to applying this technique to the field, i.e, gas station, a preliminary test was peformed to confirm the accuracy of this technique. As a result, it was proved that this technique can measure the displacement of gas utilities three dimensionally by sub-millimeter. After getting confirmation of GPS technique, we applied this technique for two gas stations and monitored the amount of subsidence during 5 months. As a result of field test, we can conclude that the gas stations was subsiding several millimeters in a year.

Railroad is well known for eco-friendly transportation system. But, for past few decades, there might be happened many contamination acts in railway facility sites. Industrial and municipal solid wastes produced to maintain and fix trains were dumped to underground of railroad depot area. To develop and reconstruct this area, we should remediate the contaminated soil and ground water. This study was conducted to evaluate the soil pollution status of railroad depot and propose the optimum remediation processes. Our investigation showed that main pollutants sources were TPH and some heavy metals from the dump site. The surveying results for the soil under rail track and crossing nose areas showed TPH contamination from crossing nose area causing lubricant agent. It could be use and rehabilitate the railroad facility areas to an intended purpose with an application of well designed in-situ and ex-situ remediation processes.

In this paper, a damage assessment technique using a moving load test and optical sensors was studied to overcome the deficiency of measurement information in bridge maintenance. Continuous displacements by applying the reciprocal theorem to the test can make the assessment simpler and more practical. Numerical and experimental studies were performed to show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique as well as the possibility of a more realistic assessment for large infrastructure. The results showed that the assessed damage levels are quite accurate, and similar to the exact values in actual damage locations, even in the experiments. The proposed technique is useful and practical for both detecting damage locations and damage quantities.

The evaluation of earthquake load on the surface is very important factor for the seismic reinforcement of existing building, and the magnitude of earthquake load depends on a shear wave velocity profile of soil under a building. To determine a shear wave velocity profile under a existing building, test method should be able to determine a reliable shear wave velocity profile under conditions such as heavy background noise and the small test area, and be sensitive to the variation of material property. In this research, HWAW (Harmonic Wavelet Analysis of Waves) method is applied to determine a shear wave velocity profile under a existing building. In this paper, through numerical simulations and field tests, the feasibility of the proposed method was shown.

In this study, to suggest an efficient method of using coal gasification slag(CGS), a byproduct from integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC), as a combined fine aggregate for concrete mixture, the diverse performances of concrete mixtures with combined fine aggregates of CGS, river sand, and crushed sand were evaluated. Additionally, using CGS, the reduction of the hydration heat and the strength developing performance were analyzed to provide a method for reducing the heat of hydration of mass concrete by using combined fine aggregate with CGS and replacing fly ash with cement. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: as a method of recycling CGS from IGCC as concrete fine aggregate, a combination of CGS with crushed sand offers advantages for the concrete mixture. Additionally, when the CGS combined aggregate is used with low-heat-mix designed concrete with fly ash, it has the synergistic effect of reducing the hydration heat of mass concrete compared to the low-heat-designed concrete mixture currently in wide use.
