In general, the foundation refers to a group pile with several single piles connected by an upper structure. However, when a load is applied to pile groups, the range of stress applied to the ground is expanded and overlapped compared with the single pile, so the overall bearing capacity may decrease. This reduction ratio of bearing capacity is referred to as the efficiency of pile groups. Therefore, in this study, the soil composition, the arrangement and spacing of group piles, and the contact characteristics between the ground and piles were set as analysis variables, and the group pile efficiency and individual pile behavior were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the efficiency of pile groups tends to converge or decrease when the friction coefficients are increased with ground type. Through this, the optimal efficiency of pile groups can be derived. In addition, through the analysis of individual piles, the load ratio of each pile was analyzed when an upper load was applied. In the case of piles located inside group piles, the load was relatively low, and this is considered to have an influence on the internal ground.

On the initial design process of a scramjet vehicle such as the trajectory prediction, it is inevitable to estimate the aerodynamic performance of a three-dimensional effect. Despite the necessity of intensive computing for the three-dimensional model, it is inefficient in predicting a wide range of aerodynamic performance. In this study, an engineering model for aerodynamic performance was developed based on two-dimensional computational fluid analysis and linearized supersonic inviscid flow theory. Correspondingly, the three-dimension aerodynamic performance relations are presented based on the two-dimensional results. And the additional three-dimensional computation was performed to evaluate the adequacy for the extended relations.

The heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model is a simple linear model that is commonly used to explain long memory in the realized volatility. However, as realized volatility has more complicated features such as conditional heteroscedasticity, leverage effect, and volatility clustering, it is necessary to extend the simple HAR model. Therefore, to better incorporate the stylized facts, we propose a threshold HAR model with GARCH errors, namely the THAR-GARCH model. That is, the THAR-GARCH model is a nonlinear model whose coefficients vary according to a threshold value, and the conditional heteroscedasticity is explained through the GARCH errors. Model parameters are estimated using an iterative weighted least squares estimation method. Our simulation study supports the consistency of the iterative estimation method. In addition, we show that the proposed THAR-GARCH model has better forecasting power by applying to the realized volatility of major 21 stock indices around the world.

A reliability-groundwater flow analysis is performed and the influence of flow parameters on the probability of exceeding the threshold value is examined. For this study, the 3-D numerical groundwater flow program, DGU-FLOW, is developed by extending the 2-D flow program and is coupled to the first and second order reliability program. The 3-D flow program is verified by solving the examples of groundwater flow through the underground excavation and comparing the results from commercial MODFLOW program. Reliability routine of the program is also verified by comparing the probability of failure with that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. The reliability analysis of the groundwater flow showed that the probability of failure from the first and second order reliability method are quite close to that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. from the parametric study of hydraulic conductivity of soil layers, the increase of both mean and variance of hydraulic conductivity results in the increase of probability of exceeding the threshold flow quantity. The probability of failure was more sensitive to constant head located at the end of the flow domain than the other parameters.

2019년 발생한 인천광역시 붉은 수돗물 사태로 급수구역에 포함된 26만 1천 세대, 63만 5천 명이 직·간접적인 피해를 입은 바 있다. 경제적 피해액으로 추정할 경우 최소 1,280억 원 이상으로 보고된 바 있으며, 이와 같은 상수관망의 수질사고 확산은 장기간 동안 시민의 건강과 생활환경 수준을 저하시킨다. 따라서 상수도시스템의 수질사고확산 모델링 및 방지기술을 통한 수질안전성의 재확인이 필요하며, 이것은 상수도시스템의 지속가능성을 높여 국민이 체감하는 물 환경 수준 제고에 기여가 가능하다. 관망 내 수질해석을 직접적으로 수행하는 모델은 국외적으로 다양하게 개발(PODDS, EPANET-MSX, EPANET2.2 등)된 바 있으나 검·보정을 위한 수질측정 자료 부족 등으로 적용이 제한적이라는 한계가 현재에도 존재한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 수질자료에 비해 그 양이 많고 획득방법이 상대적으로 수월한 수리학적 계측자료 및 해석결과를 활용한 관로 내 체류시간 등을 활용한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 수리학적 해석 결과를 활용하는 경우에도 계측자료를 기반으로 한 수리학적 검·보정은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 관로 내 체류시간에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 유량 및 유속자료를 중심으로 수리학적 관망해석의 결과를 최적 검·보정하는 방법론을 제안하였다. 기존 상수관망 수리해석의 검·보정은 일부 지점에서 수압을 측정하고, 수리해석 결과로 도출되는 해당 지점의 수압이 실측된 결과와 유사하도록 관로의 유속계수를 적절히 보정하는 형태로 진행되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 관로유량과 유속자료의 목적함수 내 가중치를 수압자료보다 크게 설정하여 체류시간 중심의 검·보정이 수행될 수 있도록 하였으며, 검·보정 대상인자 역시 대수용가의 수요량, 수요패턴, 그리고 관로유속계수로 확장된 모형을 구축하였다. 최적화 기법으로는 메타휴리스틱 기법중 하나인 화음탐색법을 활용하였다. EPANET 2.2 Toolkit과 Visual Basic .Net을 연계하여 프로그래밍하였으며, 개발된 모형을 실제 지방상수도 시스템에 적용하여 분석하였다.

In this work, the method of acquiring the pupil function of optical system is proposed. The wavefront aberration and the intensity distribution of pupil can be analysed with the pupil function. This system can be adopted to the manufacturing line of optical pickup directly and also has good performance to analysing various property of optical instrument. It is one kind of inverse problem to get pupil functions by 3D beam data. The extended Nijboer-Zernike(ENZ) approach recently proposed by Netherlands research group is adopted to accompany to solve these inverse problem. The ENZ approach is one of a aberration retrieval method for which numerous approaches are available. But this approach is new in the sense that it use the highly efficient representation of pupil functions by means of their Zernike coefficients. These coefficients are estimated by using matching procedure in the focal region the theoretical 3D intensity distribution and measured 3D intensity distribution. The algorithm that can be applied more general circumstance such as high-numerical aperture instrument is developed by modifying original ENZ approach. By these scheme, MS windows based GUI program is developed and the good performance is verified with generated 3D beam data.

Location-based services with GPS positioning technology as a key technology, but recognizing the current location through satellite communication is not possible in an indoor location-aware technology, low-power short-range communication is primarily made of the study. Especially, as Chirp Spread Spectrum(CSS) based location-aware approach for low-power physical layer IEEE802.15.4a is selected as a standard, Ranging distance estimation techniques and data transfer speed enhancements have been more developed. It is known that the distance measured by CSS ranging has quite a lot of noise as well as its bias. However, the noise problem can be adjusted by modeling the non-zero mean noise value by a scaling factor which corresponds to the change of magnitude of a measured distance vector. In this paper, we propose a localization system using the CSS signal to measure distance for a mobile node taken a measurement of the exact coordinates. By applying the extended kalman filter and least mean squares method, the localization system is faster, more stable. Finally, we evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the proposed algorithm's performance by the experiment for the realization of localization system.

Recently, seismic design for anchors is required, which are used for connecting structural members and non-structural and structural members. In this study, pull-out tests on the new expansion anchors which have been developed for cracked concrete. The anchors of 12 mm and 20 mm diameters were tested which are commonly used. Experiments were conducted on non-cracked concrete and cracked concrete to evaluate the seismic performance of the post-installed anchor. The experimental method complies with the specified test protocol (KCI, 2018). Three experimental variables are included in this study: presence of cracks, concrete compressive strength, and effective embedment depth. The strength of the anchors was evaluated with the characteristic capacity K_5% determined from the test results incorporated with the safety of 5% fractile. The characteristic capacity K_5% of the non-cracked and cracked concrete specified in KDS 14 20 54 are 9.8 and 7.0, respectively. Test results show that all groups except the three groups have higher characteristic capacity K_5% than the KDS code and the nominal strengths of the tested anchors can be determined with the obtained characteristic capacity K_5%.
