Uniformity of spray deposit is one of the important factors in spray performance affecting efficacy of pest management. Distributions of spray deposit on artificial targets were measured and analyzed to enhance the efficiency of spray application. The research was studied to understand the deposition characteristics of spray droplets and to determine the optimum conditions of chemical application. The deposit and its pattern by the lower fan speed was more uniform and higher than that by the higher fan speed. The upward blasting distance was limited within 3 m, but the limit to the ground level was expanded the distance more than 3.5 m because of the accumulated droplets. When the fan speed was higher at the distance of 2.5 m, deposit reached to maximum. When the distance increased, deposit was getting lower. At the both fan speeds, the deposit was concentrated below $30^{\circ}$ because of the gravitation and the resistance of wind. This research can be useful in designing an orchard sprayer and its operation for various tree canopies. To achieve a uniform distribution of deposit using the air-blast type orchard sprayer, the application rate from the middle boom should be increased as the air velocity to the upward increased. The spray rate to the side boom should be limited in a minimal level.

Uniform application of agri-chemicals will improve orchard pest management. An air-blast(orchard) sprayer designed for vineyards has been used: however, few research on the uniformity and coverage of the sprays has been reported. Distributions of spray coverage were measured with artificial targets and analyzed to enhance the efficiency of spray application. A structure was built to place water sensitive papers, sampling spray droplets blasted from the orchard sprayer. The sampling cards were collected from five directions at three distances (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5m) for two fan speeds (2,075 and 3,031 rpm), and analyzed using an image analysis system. The distribution of the coverage percent area did not follow the wind velocity pattern. The coverage by the low fan speed was more uniform and higher than that by the higher fan speed. The coverage percent area decreased with an increase of distance. The distribution of droplet density was similar to that of coverage. However, the coverage contribution by smaller droplets became more significant as the distance increased. The upward blasting distance was limited within 3m, but the limit to the ground level was expanded the distance more than 3.5m because of the concentrated droplets.

Desalination plants are generally studied with higher operating costs compared to water supply facilities. This study was conducted to reduce the cost of water production and to preserve existing water resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to utilize the control valves to increase maximum efficiency, thereby reducing the power of the pumps and operating costs. Specific energy consumption was shown to reduce the process operating power by up to 1.7 times from 6.17 to $3.55kWh/m^3$ based on seawater reverse osmosis 60 bar. In addition, the water intake process was divided into pre, inter, and post-according to the use method of blasting, and the water treatment process was divided into pre, inter, and post blending. In order to reduce power consumption, the blending process was combined to operate the facility, which resulted in the reduction of power consumption in the order post > pre-inter> inter blending.

We evaluated the applicability of machine learning techniques and the Kuz-Ram model for predicting the mean fragmentation size in open-pit mines. The characteristics of the in-situ rock considered here were uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, rock factor, and mean in-situ block size. Seventy field datasets that included these characteristics were collected to predict the mean fragmentation size. Deep neural network, support vector machine, and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were trained using the data. The performance was evaluated using the root mean squared error (RMSE) and the coefficient of determination (r²). The XGBoost model had the smallest RMSE and the highest r² value compared with the other models. Additionally, when analyzing the error rate between the measured and predicted values, XGBoost had the lowest error rate. When the Kuz-Ram model was applied, low accuracy was observed owing to the differences in the characteristics of data used for model development. Consequently, the proposed XGBoost model predicted the mean fragmentation size more accurately than other models. If its performance is improved by securing sufficient data in the future, it will be useful for improving the blasting efficiency at the target site.

The Korean Air-Force aircraft maintenance depot paints the exterior of various aircraft, including high-tech fighters. Aircraft exterior painting is a maintenance process for long-term life management by preventing damage to the aircraft surface due to corrosion. The de-painting process is essential to ensure the quality of aircraft exterior paints. However, because the Korean Air-Force's de-painting process is currently done with sanding or Plastic Media Blasting (PMB) method, it is exposed to harmful dust and harmful compounds and consumes a lot of manpower. This study compares the de-painting process currently applied by the ROK Air-Force and the more improved process of the US Air Force, and performs economic analysis for the introduction of advanced equipment. It aims to provide information that can determine the optimal time to introduce new facilities through Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the sanding method had the most economical efficiency up to 2 units per year, the PMB method from 3 to 21 units, and the laser method from 22 units or more. In addition, in a situation where the amount of de-painting work is expected to increase significantly due to the increase in fighters in future, BEP analysis was conducted on the expansion of the existing PMB method and the introduction of a new laser method. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that it is more economical to introduce the laser method when the amount of work exceeds the PMB work capacity(18 units per year). The paper would helpful to improve the productivity and quality of the Korean Air Force Aircraft maintenance depot through timely changes of facilities in the workplace in preparation for expansion.

쉴드TBM 터널은 지반 굴착, 세그먼트 링 빌드(Segment ring-build), 뒷채움의 반복적인 공정으로 단순하다. 재래식 터널공법인 발파공법(Drill and Blast)은 막장관찰, 천공, 장약, 발파, 환기, 버력처리, 지보재 설치의 반복으로 쉴드TBM 터널보다 공정이 복잡하고 일부 제약조건이 따른다. 하지만 굴진을 위한 준비 작업은 지반을 보강하고 갱문조성 후 터널을 형성해 나가는 Drill and Blast에 비해서 쉴드TBM 터널은 매우 상세한 계획을 바탕으로 시간과 비용이 필요하다. 이는 대상지반을 굴착하는 쉴드TBM 장비의 성능 확보가 공사의 성패를 좌우하기 때문인데, 고가의 주문제작 장비인 쉴드TBM이 조립단계에서 잘못 구성되면 본 굴진은 물론 초기굴진 단계에서부터 구동이 어렵게 되고, 조립된 쉴드TBM 장비를 다시 해체하는 경우가 발생하게 되어 재조립하는 상황으로 진행되면, 공기는 물론 경제적인 손실이 발생하여 공사 기간 내내 어려움이 발생한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한강 하저를 통과하는 국내 최대 직경의 도로터널을 건설하기 위한 이수식 쉴드TBM 조립을 위한 발진부지의 배치와 계획, 쉴드TBM 장비의 주요 부분별 조립공정을 검토하였고, 타공정과 의 간섭 최소화 및 커터헤드 조립과 운반의 효율성을 분석하여 현장여건에 맞게 개선하여 적용하였다.

일반적으로 지반의 굴착난이도를 평가하기 위한 간단한 방법은 지반 내에 분포하는 암석강도와 절리발달빈도를 고려하는데, 이 방법은 핵석 풍화단면에 그대로 적용할 수가 없다. 그러므로 암석강도와 절리발달빈도 뿐만 아니라, 핵석의 분포상태 및 분포비율, 굴착의 공사가능성, 굴착의 효율성들을 모두 종합하여서 판단하여야 비교적 정확하게 굴착난이도 추정이 가능하다. 굴착난이도를 판단하는 가장 좋은 방법으로 알려진 현장에서의 탄성파탐사 측정방법은 실제로 현장에서 육안으로 지질 상태를 확인한 결과와 차이가 심하다. (평균 $3{\sim}4m$, 최대 6m 차이) 그러므로 육안관찰과 현장탄성파탐사 방법은 모두 장단점이 있으므로 핵석지질에서 보다 정확하게 굴착난이도를 추정하고자 하면, 현장에서 지질 상태를 육안으로 관찰하고 동시에 현장 탄성파탐사를 모두 사용하여서 그 결과들을 종합하여 굴착난이도를 분석하고 적용하여야 한다.

노천광산사면은 일반적으로 경제성 문제로 지보대책을 고려하지 않고 설계된다. 그러나 최종 잔벽사면은 장기적인 안정성이 필요하므로 경우에 따라서는 안정성을 높일 수 있는 적절한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구를 위해 S 석회석 광산의 지질 및 불연속면 조사, 암반평가, 강도시험 등 현장조사를 수행하였다. 그리고 최종 잔벽사면에 대해 평사투영, SMR, 수치해석을 통한 안정성 평가를 실시하고, 최종 잔벽사면의 처리방안을 제안하였다. 해석결과, 사면 전체규모에서 파괴는 예상되지 않지만, 벤치규모의 사면파괴는 발생할 가능성이 있다. 최종 잔벽사면은 프리스플리팅 발파로 정리하고, 중간 소단에 폭이 넓은 berm을 설치하거나 국부적으로 지하수 유출이 있는 곳에는 수평배수공 등을 시공하여 벤치사면의 안정성을 높일 수 있을 것이다.

우리나라의 4차로 도로터널 중 가장 긴 약 4km의 병설 터널인 사패산터널은 환경단체의 민원에 의해 당초보다 약 2년 정도 공사가 지연되어 공사 기간을 단축하기 위한 시공 효율 극대화가 절실히 요구되었다. 본 고는 공기단축을 위해 적용된 사패산 터널의 굴진장 증대 방안, 굴착 공법 개선 방법, 그리고 막장전방 예측 시스템에 대한 사례 연구이다. 터널의 굴진장을 증대시키기 위해 Bulk-emulsion 폭약과 Cylinder-cut 심발패턴이 도입되었고, 터널 굴착 단면의 변경 및 최적의 굴착순서 계획을 통해서 공사기간을 단축할 수 있었다. 또한 대단면 터널의 안전한 시공을 위해서 막장관찰, TSP 탐사 및 고성능 천공장비를 이용한 막장전방 예측 System을 적용하였다.
