A method for measuring the length and slope of a temporary structure using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and 3D modeling method is proposed. The actual length and slope of the vertical member of the specimen were measured and compared with the measured values obtained by the proposed method for the specimens with and without the vertical protection net installed. Based on the result of measuring the length of the temporary structure specimen using the UAV and 3D modeling method, the measured value showed an error of 0.87% when compared to the actual length in the specimen without the vertical protection net installed. In addition, the error of the slope was 0.63°. It was thought that the proposed method could be usable for the purpose of finding parts in wrong installation state on the temporary structure and informing the manager in charge. However, in the case of the specimen with the vertical protection net, the measurement showed a 1.46% error in length and 2.77° difference in slope. Therefore, if a vertical protection net is to be installed in a temporary structure, the measurement accuracy should be improved by utilizing an image processing method, etc.

This study evaluated slope stability through a case study to determine the disaster risks associated with increased deforestation in structures, including schools and apartments, located in urban areas adjacent to slopes. The slope behind the ○○ High School in Gwangju, Korea, collapsed owing to heavy rain in August 2018. Historically, rainwater drained well around the slope during the rainy season. However, during the collapse, a large amount of seepage water flowed out of the slope surface and a shallow failure occurred along the saturated soil layer. To analyze the cause of the collapse, the images of the upper area of the slope, which could not be directly identified, were captured using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A digital elevation model of the slope was constructed through image analysis, making it possible to calculate the rainfall flow direction and the area, width, and length of logging areas. The change in the instability of the slope over time owing to rainfall lasting ten days before the collapse was analyzed through numerical analysis. Imaging techniques based on the UAV images were found to be effective in analyzing ground disaster risk maps in urban areas. Furthermore, the analysis was found to predict the failure before its actual occurrence.

The probabilistic bearing capacity of a strip footing placed on the edge of a purely cohesive reinforced soil slope is computed by combining lower bound finite element limit analysis technique with random field method and Monte Carlo simulation technique. To simulate actual field condition, anisotropic random field model of undrained soil shear strength is generated by using the Cholesky-Decomposition method. With the inclusion of a single layer of reinforcement, dimensionless bearing capacity factor, N always increases in both deterministic and probabilistic analysis. As the coefficient of variation of the undrained soil shear strength increases, the mean N value in both unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces for particular values of correlation length in horizontal and vertical directions. For smaller correlation lengths, the mean N value of unreinforced and reinforced slopes is always lower than the deterministic solutions. However, with the increment in the correlation lengths, this difference reduces and at a higher correlation length, both the deterministic and probabilistic mean values become almost equal. Providing reinforcement under footing subjected to eccentric load is found to be an efficient solution. However, both the deterministic and probabilistic bearing capacity for unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces with the consideration of loading eccentricity.

본 연구에서는 사질토 뒷채움재의 캔틸레버 옹벽에서 뒷굽 끝단 연직면에 작용하는 주동토압을 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 캔틸레버 옹벽에서 뒷굽길이에 따른 전단 영역의 변화는 벽체의 벽마찰력, 뒷채움 경사에 따라 뒷굽 끝단 연직면에 작용하는 주동토압에 영향을 준다. 뒷굽길이에 따라 변하는 파괴면각도를 가정하여 토압을 산정하는 한계평형법은 적용하기에 매우 복잡하므로 본 연구에서는 한계해석법을 사용하여 토압을 구하였다. 한계해석법으로 뒷굽길이에 따라 실제 파괴면각도가 고려된 토압을 정확히 산정하고, 이로부터 뒷굽 끝단 연직면에 작용하는 수평토압과 연직토압을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에 의하면, 뒷굽길이가 짧아짐에 따라 내측 파괴면 경사각은 이론식보다 증가한 반면에 외측 파괴면 경사각은 영향을 받지 않았다. 뒷굽 끝단의 연직면에 작용하는 배면마찰각은 지표면 경사각과 벽면마찰각 사이의 값을 나타내었으며, 주동토압 또한 감소하였다. 최종적으로 상대적인 뒷굽길이와 뒷굽 끝단의 연직면에 작용하는 마찰각(연직토압/수평토압의 비)의 상관관계를 사용함으로써 Coulomb 토압을 간편하게 산정할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 연구는 2019년 4월 4일 강릉시 옥계면에서 발생한 산불 피해지역의 정확한 면적을 구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 우리나라의 산림은 경사도가 존재하고 있으므로 평면적이 아닌 경사를 고려한 표면적을 구해야 한다. 국토지리정보원에서 제공하고 있는 DEM과 산림청에서 제공하는 제5차 수치임상도를 사용하였다. DEM에서는 각 화소의 중심점을 생성하고 모든 점을 연결하였다. 이때 연결선의 길이는 화소의 공간해상력과 cosine값을 통해 결정되며 높이값과 함께 표면적을 구하며, 이를 Slope-Aspect 알고리즘이라 한다. 산림의 표면적과 평면적을 나무의 수종, 산림의 종류에 따라 나타냈으며 이들의 정량적인 수치 차이를 통해 본 연구의 유효성을 입증하였다.

Conentionally, LS factor for the USLE suggested by Wischmeier has been computed manually on topographic maps based on one dimensional approach. But outcomes of the equation could be severely affected by the convergence and divergence of surface runoff at complex terrains. Thus the objective of this research are to develop a method to automatically compute LS factor based on the multiple flow algorithm, and to test the accuracy of this method by comparing outcomes of this method to previous measurements or estimations of soil erosion. The program for the automatic calculation of LS factor was developed by utilizing Fox Pro 4.5, and outcomes of the program is designed to input to IDRISI. The accuracy test of LS factor was carried out by comparing the actual measurements of soil loss at two test sites in and around of Suwon. The calculated volume of soil erosion at Buju mountain, Mokpo, was also compared to the outcome of a previous research based on the LS factor calculated by the conventional onedimensional approach. The outcomes of this research are as follows. First, the computed L based on the multiple flow algorithm for concae slopes are greater than those of convex slopes,. Second, the estimated soil loss based on this method at the test site in Mokpo is much greater than the outcomes based on the conventional one-dimensional approach. It can e concluded that the application of this automatic calculation method of LS factor can improve the accuracy of USLE and facilitate soil erosion prevention methods.

Landslide prediction modeling has been regarded as one of the important environmental applications in GIS. While, landslide stability in a certain area as collateral process for prediction modeling can be characterized by DEM-based hydrological features such as flow-direction, flow-accumulation, flow-length, wetness index, and so forth. In this study, Slope-Area plot methodology followed by stability index mapping with these hydrological variables is firstly performed for stability analysis with actual landslide occurrences at Boeun area, Korea, and then Landslide prediction modeling based on likelihood ratio model for landslide potential mapping is carried out; in addition, KOMPSAT EOC imagery is used to detect the locations and scalped scale of Landslide occurrences. These two tasks are independently processed for preparation of unbiased criteria, and then results of those are qualitatively compared. As results of this case study, land stability analysis based on DEM-based hydrological variables directly reflects terrain characteristics; however, the results in the form of land stability map by landslide prediction model are not fully matched with those of hydrologic landslide analysis due to the heuristic scheme based on location of existed landslide occurrences within prediction approach, especially zones of not-investigated occurrences. Therefore, it is expected that the resets on the space-robustness of landslide prediction models in conjunction with DEM-based landslide stability analysis can be effectively utilized to search out unrevealed or hidden landslide occurrences.

Reinforcement corrosion is the main cause of the durability failure of reinforced concrete (RC) structure. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model of macro-cell corrosion is established to reveal the corrosion mechanisms of steel reinforcement in RC structure. Modified Direct Iteration Method (MDIM) is employed to solve the system of partial differential equations for reinforcement corrosion. Through the sensitivity analysis of electrochemical parameters, it is found that the average corrosion current density is more sensitive to the change of cathodic Tafel slope and anodic equilibrium potential, compared with the other electrochemical parameters. Furthermore, both the anode-to-cathode (A/C) ratio and the anodic length have significant influences on the average corrosion current density, especially when A/C ratio is less than 0.5 and anodic length is less than 35 mm. More importantly, it is demonstrated that the corrosion rate of semi-circumferential corrosion is much larger than that of circumferential corrosion for the same A/C ratio value. The simulation results can give a unique insight into understanding the detailed electrochemical corrosion processes of steel reinforcement in RC structure for application in service life prediction of RC structures in actual civil engineer.

This study was intended to develop the system automatically controlling travel direction of combine by means of sensing paddy rows. The control system was composed of three detecting levers having different length, micro-switch, microcomputer and electro-hydraulic control system. Sensor and control system developed was tested to estimate optimum design values and its actual performance as installed in combine. The computer simulation and performance test at simulated and actual field were conducted to test for possibility of practical use. The results of the study arc summarized. as follows: 1. The travel traces of combine hiving the conventional sensor with 2 levers and the new sensor detecting the slope of paddy rows were compared through computer simulation. Turning frequency of combine having new sensor was fewer than that of conventional sensor, but the rate of turning for the combine with new sensor was much greater than that of conventional sensor. 2. As sensor was established behind the tip of divider, the sensor itself well followed paddy rows but the tip of divider did not, resulting in divider being deviated from paddy rows. It was analyzed that the sensor should be attached closer to the tip of divider to have a better performance of the control system. 3. The greater the length of sensor lever for given location of sensor attachment and combine forward speed, the higher sensitivity of turning in control system. Moreover, increasing combine speed resulted in a worse performance of control system following paddy rows. Consequently, it was necessary that an optimum length of sensor attachment and for the range of combine operational speed. 4. Field test of combine installed with the sensor and electro-hydraulic system developed in this study showed that it may be operated smoothly and well behaved to paddy rows to 4th gear of combine speed which was 59cm/s. Consequently. it was concluded that the combine with the guidance control system developed in this study may be successfully used for paddy combining.

본 연구는 토양유실량 산정을 위해 사용되는 USLE P factor 선정의 문제점 확인 및 개선방향 제시에 대한 연구이다. USLE P factor는 경작지를 어떻게 관리하여 사용하느냐에 따라 그 값이 달라지는 계수이다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 경작지 상황에 따른 선정이 아닌 유역의 경사도에 대한 P factor를 선정함에 따라 토양유실량이 과다 산정되는 경향이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 처음에 이 식은 제안한 Wishmeier와 Smith에 의해 정의된 다양한 조건들에 부합되지 않게 인자를 선정하고 있어 토양유실량 산정에 대한 정확성이 떨어지고 있다. 이에 환경부에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 표토관련고시를 제정하고 이에 따른 P factor를 선정하도록 제안하고 있다. 하지만 미국에서 제안된 조건을 그대로 국내 사정에 적용하도록 되어 있어 많은 문제점을 야기하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실제 토양유실이 심각하게 이루어지고 있는 유역(양구 해안면 유역, 홍천 내면 자운리 유역, 안동 임하면 반변천 상류유역)을 선정하여 경사장과 경사도를 측정하고 각 필지에 적용된 관리방법과 경운방법을 조사하여 각 조건들에 적용한 후 고시에 의거하여 제시된 조건을 통해 선정된 인자와의 비교를 통해 고시의 문제점을 확인하였고, 문헌연구를 통한 새로운 조건에 대입하여 새로운 인자들을 선정하였다. 연구 결과, 환경부에서 제시한 표토관련고시에 의거하여 선정된 P factor의 경우 대상 유역 3곳에서 0.8~1.0사이의 값을 제시하고 있었다. 하지만 처음 제안된 조건들을 대입하여 P factor를 선정해본 결과 각 경사도 및 경사장 조건에 부합하여 선정된 값은 고시를 통해 선정된 값과는 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 국내 환경에 적합한 P factor를 선정하기 위한 조건을 개발하기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다고 판단된다.
