Although the approaches implementing strut-tie models are the valuable tools for designing discontinuity regions of structural concrete, the approaches of the current design codes have to be improved for the design of structural concrete subjected to complex loading and geometrical conditions because of the uncertainties in the selection of strut-tie model, in the use of an indeterminate strut-tie model, and in the effective strengths of struts and nodal zones. To improve the uncertainties, a grid struttie model approach is proposed in this study. The proposed approach, allowing to perform a consistent and effective design of structural concrete, employs an initial grid strut-tie model in which various load combinations can be considered. In addition, the approach performs an automatic selection of an optimal strut-tie model by evaluating the capacities of struts and ties using a simple optimization algorithm. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by conducting the analysis of the four reinforced concrete deep beams tested to failure and the design of shearwalls with two openings.

최근 기후변화로 인해 지역 및 시기별로 강수량이 편중되면서 가뭄(0.72회/년) 등 물 관련 재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 가뭄의 강도 또한 심화되는 추세이다. 본 연구대상 지역인 태안군과 괴산군의 경우 기후변화 시나리오(RCP 4.5)를 적용, 미래(~2100년) 기상조건에 대하여 기존 농업용 저수지의 용수공급능력을 평가한 결과, 가뭄대응(내한) 능력이 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 농업가뭄의 경우 주로 영농기에 발생하여 장마가 시작되면서 해소되었으나, 최근 기후변화로 인해 지속기간이 점차 증가하여 가뭄피해가 매년 반복되고 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 추진된 가뭄대책의 경우 관정개발, 저수지 준설 등 단기·사후처방 중심의 대책이 마련되어 지속적인 재해관리와 예방에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역 맞춤형 가뭄대응 종합대책을 마련하여 기후 변화대비 안정적인 영농기반을 구축하고자 하였다. 기존시설 개선, 수요관리 등 최근 정부정책 방향과 재원조달 방안을 고려, 법적근거(농어촌정비법 등)에 의한 실현 가능한 사업계획을 수립하는 한편, 다목적 농촌용수 개발, 용수이용체계 재편 등 사업유형을 구분한 후 단계별(장·단기) 가뭄대책을 마련하였다. 가뭄대책 수립 시 한국농어촌공사에서 개발한 '수리수문 설계 시스템(K-HAS)'을 이용하여 용수 수요량을 산정하였고, 기존 수리시설물별 물 수지 분석을 통해 여유수량이 확보된 수원을 최대한 활용코자 하였다. 저수지 개발 등 신규 수자원 확보가 용이한 내륙·산간지역의 경우 중·대규모 저수지(유효저수량 1백만m³, 유역면적 200ha이상) 개발계획을 수립하는 한편 지역특성(형상, 표고차 등), 개발여건 및 경제성 등을 고려하여, 적정 개발범위(수혜면적 20ha이상)을 설정하였다. 한편, 신규 수자원개발이 어려운 도서·해안지역의 경우 용수 재이용(회귀수 활용) 및 담수호 내 염해방지시설을 도입하는 등 지역 맞춤형 가뭄대책을 수립하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 단계별(장·단기) 가뭄대책이 차질없이 시행될 경우 기후변화 대비 안정적인 농업용수공급이 가능하고, 상습가뭄 발생(물 부족) 지역에 대하여 효율적이고 합리적인 물(수요·공급)관리가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구의 목적은 고전적 순간단위도 모형 중의 하나인 Nash 모형의 매개변수와 하천망의 동적 Fractal 차원 사이의 관계를 체계적으로 분석하여 해당 매개변수의 수문학적 의미를 추론해 보는 것이다. Nash 모형의 경우, GIUH 이론과의 결합을 통하여 Horton 비를 기반으로 한 두 매개변수의 지형학적 추정 방법이 일찍부터 제안되어 왔다 (Rosso, 1984; Bhunya, 2008). 특히 Liu(1992)는 2차원 자유 Euclidean 공간 내에서 percolation cluster 모형의 응집구조와 유역의 배수구조 사이의 비교를 통하여 하천망의 Fractal 차원을 정적 Fractal 차원과 동적 Fractal 차원으로 구분하고 양자의 수문학적 의미에 대하여 강조한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 문헌 조사 (Morisawa, 1962; Marani et al., 1991; Rosso et al., 1991)를 통하여 수집한 비교적 신뢰성 있는 국외 하천망들에 관한 정보를 기반으로 Nash 모형의 매개변수와 하천망의 동적 Fractal 차원 사이의 관계를 분석해 보았다. 주요한 결과로서 Nash 모형의 형상 매개변수와 하천망의 Fractal 차원 사이에는 밀접한 상관관계가 존재함을 알 수 있었으며 이를 통하여 하천망의 Fractal 차원을 이용하여 해당 매개변수를 직접 추정할 수 있는 관계식을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 분광 차원과 Nash 모형의 첨두 좌표 사이의 관계를 통하여 겉보기에서로 다른 유역들 사이에 존재할 수 있는 수문학적 상사성을 평가할 수 있는 기준의 수립 역시 본 연구과정을 통하여 제시할 수 있으로 판단된다. 후속 연구로서 국내외 다수 유역들에 대한 지형분석을 통하여 본 연구에서 얻은 결과의 보편성을 검정하고 수문학적 자료들에 대한 검증을 통하여 Nash 모형을 기반으로 한 다양한 수문학적 모형들의 개선 방안을 제시해 보고자 한다.

The Skinned Multi-Person Linear Model (SMPL) is the most widely used parametric 3D Human Model optimized and learned from CAESAR, a 3D human scanned database created with measurements from 3,800 people living in United States in the 1990s. We point out the lack of racial diversity of body types in SMPL and propose K-SMPL that better represents Korean 3D body shapes. To this end, we develop a fitting algorithm to estimate 2,773 Korean 3D body shapes from Korean body measurement data. By conducting principle component analysis to the estimated Korean body shapes, we construct K-SMPL model that can generate various Korean body shape in 3D. K-SMPL model allows to improve the fitting accuracy over SMPL with respect to the Korean body measurement data. K-SMPL model can be widely used for avatar generation and human shape fitting for Korean.

Aquatic ecosystem is composed of various organic and inorganic matters. Its health is essential for sustaining its members such as vegetations, mammals, birds, fishes and invertebrates. Samcheonpo stream is one of candidate streams in Sacheon area of ecological restoration. For this reason, this study conducted to build up a data base for future comparison. The results shows that biodiversity of Epilithic Diatoms and Invertebrates is below average which means that human impacts such as artificial structures and activities have been negatively related to stream health. Consequently, we suggest several key factors when ecological restoration is performed in the stream.

LiDAR is used in autonomous driving and various industrial fields to measure the size and distance of an object. In addition, the sensor also provides intensity images based on the amount of reflected light. This has a positive effect on sensor data processing by providing information on the shape of the object. LiDAR guarantees higher performance as the resolution increases but at an increased cost. These conditions also apply to LiDAR intensity images. Expensive equipment is essential to acquire high-resolution LiDAR intensity images. This study developed artificial intelligence to improve low-resolution LiDAR intensity images into high-resolution ones. Therefore, this study performed parameter analysis for the optimal super-resolution neural network model. The super-resolution algorithm was trained and verified using 2,500 LiDAR intensity images. As a result, the resolution of the intensity images were improved. These results can be applied to the autonomous driving field and help improve driving environment recognition and obstacle detection performance

To enhance the performance of graphene-based devices, it is of great importance to better understand the interfacial interaction of graphene with its underlying substrates. In this study, the adhesion energy of monolayer graphene placed on dielectric substrates was characterized using mode I fracture tests. Large-area monolayer graphene was synthesized on copper foil using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with methane and hydrogen. The synthesized graphene was placed on target dielectric substrates using polymer-assisted wet transfer technique. The monolayer graphene placed on a substrate was mechanically delaminated from the dielectric substrate by mode I fracture tests using double cantilever beam configuration. The obtained force-displacement curves were analyzed to estimate the adhesion energies, showing 1.13 ± 0.12 J/m² for silicon dioxide and 2.90 ± 0.08 J/m² for silicon nitride. This work provides the quantitative measurement of the interfacial interactions of CVD-grown graphene with dielectric substrates.

Recently, supply chain attacks against nuclear facilities such as "Evil PLC" are increasing due to the application of digital technology in nuclear power plants such as the APR1400 reactor. Nuclear supply chain security requires a asset management system that can systematically manage a large number of providers due to the nature of the industry. However, due to the nature of the control system, there is a problem of inconsistent management of attribute information due to the long lifecycle of software assets. In addition, due to the availability of the operational technology, the introduction of automated configuration management is insufficient, and limitations such as input errors exist. This study proposes a systematic asset management system using SBOM(Software Bill Of Materials) and an improvement for input errors using natural language processing techniques.

When designing an underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester (PEH), Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) is generated throughout the cantilever through a change in curvature, and the generation of VIV increases the vibration displacement of the curved cantilever PEH, which is an important factor in increasing actual power. The material of the curved PEH selected a Polyvinyline Di-Floride (PVDF) piezoelectric film, and the flow velocity is set at 0.1 m/s to 0.50 m/s for 50 mm, 130 mm, and 210 mm with various curvatures. The strain energy change of PEH by VIV was observed. The smaller the radius of curvature, the larger the VIV, and as the flow rate increased, more VIV appeared. Rapid shape transformation due to the small curvature was effective in generating VIV, and strain energy, normalized voltage, average power, etc. To increase the amount of power of the PEH, it is considered that the average power will increase as the number of curved PEHs increases as well as the steep curvature is improved.

Efforts are actively underway to address the issues related to the high cost of Pt-based catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions by designing high-performance Pt-based alloys through the control of their nanostructures. In this study, a method was proposed to control the nanostructure of Pt-based alloys, either hollow or core-shell, by adjusting the pH of the solution during the galvanic replacement reaction between the carbon-supported nickel-nickel nitride composite and the Pt ions. The physical characteristics, including the state, quantity, and morphology of the metal particles under different preparation conditions, were evaluated through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma. When the prepared catalysts were employed for the oxygen reduction reaction, they exhibited an improvement in area specific-activity compared to a commercial Pt/C, with a 1.7 and 1.9-fold enhancement for the hollow and core-shell structured catalysts, respectively.
