  • A reinforced concrete (RC) framed structure detailed according to non-seismic detailing provisions as per Indian Standard was tested on shake table under dynamic loads. The structure had 3 main storeys and an additional storey to simulate the footing to plinth level. In plan the structure was symmetric with 2 bays in each direction. In order to optimize the information obtained from the tests, tests were planned in three different stages. In the first stage, tests were done with masonry infill panels in one direction to obtain information on the stiffness increase due to addition of infill panels. In second stage, the infills were removed and tests were conducted on the structure without and with tuned liquid dampers (TLD) on the roof of the structure to investigate the effect of TLD on seismic response of the structure. In the third stage, tests were conducted on bare frame structure under biaxial time histories with gradually increasing peak ground acceleration (PGA) till failure. The simulated earthquakes represented low, moderate and severe seismic ground motions. The effects of masonry infill panels on dynamic characteristics of the structure, effectiveness of TLD in reducing the seismic response of structure and the failure patterns of non-seismically detailed structures, are clearly brought out. Details of design and similitude are also discussed.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of damped cable systems (DCS) to mitigate the earthquake-induced responses of a building frame structure. The seismic performance of the DCS is investigated using the fragility analysis and life cycle cost evaluation of an existing building retrofitted with the DCS, and the results are compared with the structure retrofitted with conventional fluid viscous dampers. The comparison of the analysis results reveals that, due to the self-centering capability of the DCS, residual displacement approximately reaches to zero for the structure retrofitted with the DCS. The fragility analysis shows that the structure retrofitted with the DCS has the least probability of reaching the specific limit states compared to the bare structure and the structure with the conventional fluid viscous damper (VD), especially under the severe ground motions. It is also observed that both the initial and the life cycle costs of the DCS seismic retrofitting technique is lesser compare to the structure retrofitted with the VD.

  • Microwave polarimetric backscattering from a wet soil surface had been measured using a Ku-band polarimetric scatterometer at the incidence angles ranging from 10$^{\circ}$ to 70$^{\circ}$ Since the accurate target parameters as well as the radar parameters are necessary for radar scattering modeling, a complete and accurate set of ground truth data were also collected, from which accurate measurements were made of the rms height, correlation length, and dielectric constant. The measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients (vv-, hh-, vh-, hv-polarizations) were compared with theoretical models and empirical models. A new semi-empirical model for microwave polarimetric radar backscattering from bare soil surfaces was developed using polarimetric radar measurements and the knowledge based on the theoretical and numerical solutions. The model was found to yield very good agreement with the backscattering measurements of this study.

  • 정원소재로서 수요가 늘어날 것으로 예상되는 애기소엽맥문동(Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nanus')을 대상으로 18개월(2015년 5월~2016년 10월)간 차광생육실험을 실시해 내음성 범위와 피복정도를 알아보았다. 전남 장흥군 노지에 3년간 재배된 애기소엽맥문동을 공시재료로 이용했다. 전남 나주시의 실험장에서 식재상자($70cm{\times}70cm{\times}24cm$)에 애기소엽맥문동을 심고 차광막을 덮어 자연광을 차단했는데 차광처리 수준은 무차광(0%), 55%, 75%이었다. 차광처리구별 생장량(엽장, 엽수, 생중량 건중량)과 지표면 피복률을 조사했다. 애기소엽맥문동의 엽장 엽수는 무차광(0%)이 다른 처리구보다 통계적으로 높았다. 생중량 건중량은 무차광(0%) 차광처리 55%가 차광처리 75%보다 유의적으로 많았다. 애기소엽맥문동이 정상적으로 생육가능한 내음성 범위는 차광률 0~50%정도며, 50%이상의 자연광이 차단되면 생장량이 감소하는 것으로 판단된다. 차광처리구별 피복률은 통계적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 애기소엽맥문동을 $1m^2$당 220분얼을 심었는데 18개월 후에는 지표면 80%까지 덮었다. 애기소엽맥문동은 비옥한 토양에서 생육이 적합해 조기 피복을 위해선 충분한 질소비료 시비가 필요하다. 본 실험장에서 애기소엽맥문동은 동해를 입지 않아 온대 남부지역까지 식재 가능할 것으로 보인다.

  • Flood caused by Typhoon and severe rain during summer is the most destructive natural disasters in Korea. Almost every year flood has resulted in a big lost of national infrastructure and loss of civilian lives. It usually takes time and great efforts to estimate the flood-related damages. Government also has pursued proper standard and tool for using state-of-art technologies. High resolution satellite imagery is one of the most promising sources of ground truth information since it provides detailed and current ground information such as building, road, and bare ground. Once high resolution imagery is utilized, it can greatly reduce the amount of field work and cost for flood related damage assessment. The classification of high resolution image is pre-required step to be utilized for the damage assessment. The classified image combined with additional data such as DEM and DSM can help to estimate the flooded areas per each classified land use. This paper applied object-oriented classification scheme to interpret an image not based in a single pixel but in meaningful image objects and their mutual relations. When comparing it with other classification algorithms, object-oriented classification was very effective and accurate. In this paper, IKONOS image is used, but similar level of high resolution Korean KOMPSAT series can be investigated once they are available.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze quantitative and qualitative differences according to shoe type for the grand jete landing in ballet. The subjects for this study were 9 female ballet majors with an average of 12 years of experience. Subjects jumped, performing a front split, and landed on 1 foot, a movement called the grand jete. Analysis was performed on the students' landing. Independent variables were 3 shoe types: split sole, traditional out sole, and 5-toed forefoot shoes, with bare feet as a control group. Dependent variables were vertical passive ground reaction force and qualitative elements. Passive ground reaction force variables(maximum passive peak value, number of passive peaks, passive force-time integral, and center of pressure) were measured by the Kistler 9281B Force Platform. Qualitative elements were comfort, cushioning, pain, and fit. Statistical analysis included both 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for follow-up. Finalized data demonstrated that the 5-toed forefoot shoe allows the forefoot to expand and the toes to individually press down upon landing, increasing foot contact with the surface. Five-toed forefoot shoes minimize passive peaks and pain, while increasing comfort, cushioning, and fit. Most ballet movements are composed of jumping, balancing, landing, and spinning. Wearing 5-toed forefoot shoes allows for a natural range of movement in each toe, to improve both technique and balance. Pain and injuries from ballet can be minimized by wearing the correct shoe type. According to this analysis, it is possible to customized ballet shoes to increase the efficiency of techniques and movements.

  • The Purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical difference of two soccer footwear. which will provide scientific data to coaches and players, to further prevent injuries and to improve each players skills. The result of this study can be summarized after testing the two types of soccer footwear with comparative transforming heel angles and also with a pressure distribution in running. When a player's foot first touched the ground, the average difference of in/eversion was between 1.2 and 3.1 degrees for the two soccer shoes. In regards to maximum inversion and eversion of foot, maximum tibial rotation, and maximum and total movement of foot, the condition of barefoot and the two soccer shoes showed a small difference from 1.5 to 3.5 degrees and the difference among the subjects of study wasn't constant. In regards to maximum velocity of inversion and eversion running in one's bare feet showed much lower inversion velocity in comparison to putting on two types of soccer shoes and comparison of the average. Among some of the subjects, after putting on the two types of soccer shoes exceeded $97^{\circ}/s$ in maximum velocity of eversion. In the maximum braking impulse(t=2774, p<.05) and propulsive impulse for antero-posterior direction, there was a statistically significant difference between the two soccer footwear at running. In the maximum braking force(t=3.270, p<.05) and propulsive force(t=4.956, p<.05) for antero-posterior direction, there was a statistically significant difference between the two soccer footwear at running.

  • 고해상도 위성영상의 보급이 증가함에 따라, 위성영상으로부터 정확한 3차원 정보를 생성하기 위한 기술의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 영상의 변화탐지 및 객체추출 등 응용 분야에서 많이 활용되고 있는 수치지형모델(digital terrain model, DTM)을 생성하기 위해서는 수치표면모델(digital surface model, DSM)에 존재하는 수목, 건물 등 비지면 객체를 추출하고 지면의 높이를 추정하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 KOMPSAT-3A 스테레오 영상에서 추출된 DSM으로부터 자동으로 DTM을 생성하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 기 구축된 저해상도 지형자료를 활용하여 비지면 영역을 탐색하고 지면의 높이값을 추정하는 기법을 개발했다. 산악지형, 건물밀집지역, 평지, 복합지 등 다양한 지형 특성을 갖는 4곳의 실험 지역에서 생성된 DTM의 수직 정확도는 약 5.85 m로 나타났다. 제안된 기법을 통해 지표면의 정밀한 형상을 나타내는 고품질의 DTM 생성이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구는 백두대간 지리산권역 내 훼손지의 유형을 분류하고, 각 훼손 유형별 실태조사를 통해 훼손 정도를 파악하여 훼손지의 복원 방향을 제시하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 지리산권역의 훼손실태를 분석한 결과 전체 훼손지의 패치 수는 57개로 확인되었고, 평균고도가 낮고 경사가 완만한 지역일수록 훼손지의 패치 수 및 훼손 면적이 더 넓게 나타났다. 훼손 유형은 초지(폐경지)와 경작지의 비율이 높게 나타나 농업적 토지이용이 주요 훼손 요인으로 분석되었다. 이 중 14개소의 훼손지를 대상으로 실태조사를 수행한 결과, 훼손 유형은 초지, 경작지, 복원지, 벌채지 및 나지로 분류되었다. 각 유형별 교란정도(일년초 및 이년초의 비율, 도시화지수, 교란율)를 분석한 결과, 초지 및 경작지에서는 대부분 초본류로만 구성된 1층 구조의 단순한 식생구조와 교란정도가 높게 나타났다. 소나무 유묘가 다수 식재된 복원지의 경우 2층 구조의 식생구조가 나타났고, 복원사업으로 인한 교란과 인근의 등산로로 인해 귀화식물의 유입이 다른 훼손지에 비해 특히 높게 나타났다. 나지의 경우 고도가 높아 귀화식물의 유입은 낮았지만, 일년초와 이년초의 비율이 높게 나타나 조사된 모든 유형의 훼손지는 천이 초기단계로 판단되었다. 훼손 유형별 군락을 서열화한 결과, I 축상의 복원지, 경작지, 초지, 벌채지 및 나지 순으로 나타나 훼손 유형별로 구분되어 배열되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 훼손 유형별 조사지와 참조생태계의 군락을 서열화한 결과, 종조성의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 이처럼 생태적 복원 절차에 따라 식생정보에 기초한 훼손 유형별 실태를 진단하고, 진단 결과와 함께 참조생태계와의 종조성의 차이를 확인함으로써 향후 복원 목표 및 복원 방향 설정의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.
