In this research, a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD), scour characteristics around monopile was grasped and the effect of circular ring type scour protection on reducing protection was assessed. When Torsethaugen(1975) found that the scour area and its depth were coincided quantitatively On the ground of previous findings, after scour was assessed in terms of sea current velocity, we also found that the tendency of maximum scour depth and its width were increased as the sea current velocity was increased. The experiments were performed by attaching ring-circular typed scour protection under the bottom in order to reducing scour around the constructs of monopile type and showed reduced scour approximately by 68.5%. In addition, there were reduction of downward flow and bottom velocities, suggesting that scour protection reduce the effect of downward flow on scour.

With the effectuation of the amendment of MARPOL 73/78 on 5 April 2005, enforcement regulations of Marine Pollution Prevention Act were revised in domestic on 12 March 2005 that double hull structure was required to the small single bottom oil tankers under DWT(deadweight tonnage) 500 ton for the protection of the marine pollution casualties. The objective of this study is to develop the double bottom structure of small oil tanker under DWT 500 ton with superior crashworthiness and to establish its suitable standard to double bottom structure. The promoting strategy of this R&D is classified into the crashworthy structural analysis of small oil tankers using LS/DYNA3D code and the examination of their damage stabilities according to tonnage. It could be thought that the desirable inner bottom height should be above the B/7.5 and its minimum height 0.65m for the domestic small oil tanker under DWT 500ton.

In order to investigate the topography and exposure duration of the Siheung tidal flat, tidal ranges and DEM constructed by remote sensing techniques were analyzed. A cross-sectional diagram of the intertidal area reveals that it is relatively flat in the upper zone and then abruptly plunges into the bottom of the main channel where elevations increase in an upstream direction. The waterline during the Highest Low Water (HLW) is drawn back to the bottom of the channel at the middle part of the tidal flat and is formed along the slant of the channel during the Lowest High Water (LHW). The intertidal zone is located between -410 cm and 510 cm in terms of elevation and its total area is $0.65km^2$. An area between the Highest High Water (HHW) and Lowest High Water (LHW), occupying about 80% of the total area, occupies $0.52km^2$ of total area and accounts for 56% of the exposure duration. The boundary of wetland protection area in the Siheung tidal flat did not exactly coincide with the intertidal regime and differs by more than 15%. This study, which precisely analyzed the tidal flat area, tidal environment, and topography, would be useful in making a conservation plan and in learning how to use a wetland protection area in a sustainable manner.

This study considered the effects on the seabed of a harbor and quay wall from ship maneuvers in relation to the thruster jet flow and initial velocity. This study also included the engine capacity, RPM, and diameter and pitch of a ship's thruster for a required speed. The impact of a scour hole on the environment of a quay wall was investigated. Based on these results, a risk based analysis was conducted to evaluate different strategies and their consequences. There has been an increase in the loads on the bottom of a harbor during ship maneuvering. This increase is caused by the propeller loads of mooring and unmooring vessels. This indicates a greater number of arrivals and departures of vessels with larger drafts, larger thruster diameters, and larger available thruster power capacities. Another important cause could be an increase in the maneuverability of vessels from the use of bow thrusters. The increasing loads, which cause a higher jet flow above the bottom, can lead to undesirable scour holes.

Recently, drywall's demand is increasing by interest about spread of remodeling house and separated wall structure. This research evaluated panel's SRI and found out panel properties using material of small size. Conclusion of this research is as following. First, we confirmed the effectiveness of small-scale material. Measuring results appeared equally about 400 ${\sim}$ 500 Hz that is fc frequency. Second,, it is no big difference in SRI that use CRC or magnesium board that is used for protection of panel surface. Third, it is compared SRI by used junction to make wall that become disjointing assembly. By the result, sealed wall secures resemblant SRI performance almost with normal wall. Therefore, using joint materials and sealing junction became wall that is detached with high SRI.

A beach nourishment method can be used as one of the beach. The beach nourishment is affected br a natural condition and an artificial condition; a natural condtion include conditions of bottom slope, diameter of bottom materials and wave, and an artificial condition include deposit position, method, diameter and quantity of the nourishing sand. To obtain and the best diameter of the nourishing sand a two-dimensional hydraulic model test, which simulates the erosional beach, has been accmplished. In this study the protection of the beach erosion can be maximized when the nourishing sand of 0.84mm in diameter, which is about 2.5-3.5 times of the natural bottom materials in diameter.

In the present experimental study, the effect of water-based iron(III) oxide nanofluid on the MFB(Minimum Film Boiling) point during quenching was investigated. As the highly heated test specimen, the cylindrical stainless steel rod was used, and as the test fluids, the water-based iron(III) oxide nanofluids of 0.001 and 0.01 vol% concentrations were prepared with the pure water. To examine the effect of location in the test specimen, the thermocouples were installed at the bottom and middle of wall, and center in the test specimen. Through a series of experiments, the experimental data about the influences of nanofluid concentrations, the number of repeated experiments, and locations in the test specimen on the reaching time to MFB point, MFBT(Minimum Film Boiling Temperature), and MHF(Minimum Heat Flux) were obtained. As a result, with increasing the concentration of nanofluid and the number of repeated experiments, the reaching time to MFB point was reduced, but the MFBT and MHF were increased. In addition, it was found that the effect of water-based iron(III) oxide nanofluid on the MFB point at the bottom of wall in the test specimen was observed to be greater than that at the middle of wall and center. In the present experimental ranges, as compared with the pure water, the water-based iron(III) oxide nanofluid showed that the maximum reduction of reaching time to MFB point was about 53.6%, and the maximum enhancements of MFBT and MHF were about 31.1% and 73.4%, respectively.

It is important to reduce indirect scattered neutron beside direct neutron of chosen energy for designing a neutron-reference-field laboratory with neutron produced from a nuclear reaction by a accelerator. Therefore MCNPX simulation was performed with various conditions for obtaining such condition. At first in the original laboratory condition we calculated the direct neutron flux which was inserted in chamber (virtual chamber composed of air) of 0 degree (proton moving direction) for neutron flux measurement and the scattered neutron flux which is inserted in the chamber after scattering wall or bottom. In the result, the scattered neutron which was inserted after scattering bottom is more than that which was inserted after scattering the others. Therefore MCNPX simulation was again performed with removing the concrete bottom and with removing the concrete bottom and digging 1 m in the ground. In the result of removing concrete bottom and digging 1 m in the ground, scattered neutron which was inserted after scattering bottom became less than that which was inserted after scattering the others.

For the longer service life of steel pile, cathodic protection is selected sometimes at corrosive environment. The cathodic protection design improvement was investigated in this study. The current demand for cathodic protection was calculated from the potentiostatic current monitoring of the steel specimen in the deaerated soil samples. In this study, the current distribution was studied using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) numerical analysis methods. The optimum layout of the anode was developed and confirmed by numerical analysis. Under the conventional design of the anode, the length of the anode hole is same as the pile length. We found that, at the bottom end of the pile, the current density is too high. When the anode hole length was 80% of the pile length, the current consumption at the end was reduced. The construction cost of anode hole drilling was decreased about 20%, as compared to the conventional design. Furthermore, the life of the anode materials could be extended by reducing the current consumption at the end section. Using this approach, the construction cost was reduced significantly without any under-protection area on the steel piles.

This paper analyze a description of Korean fleet using bottom gears on the high seas. The need for this study arises from international moves to address the effects of fishing with bottom gears on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) and in view of a communication on the Korean policy in respect of this. There is growing concern over the impact of fishing using gears that come into contact with the seabed (bottom gears), in particular in deep-sea areas where vulnerable marine ecosystems including seamounts, hydrothermal vents and cold water corals are located. Korea is an important stakeholder in high seas bottom gear fisheries. For the past eight years, the issue of protecting biodiversity in the deep-sea in areas beyond national jurisdiction has been extensively debated by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and in other international fora. As a result of the report and a review by the UNGA of the effectiveness of the measures called for in resolution 59/25, the UN General Assembly called for a series of specific actions to be taken by States and RFMOs in UNGA resolutions 61/105 in 2006 and 64/72 in 2009 adopted by consensus. Korea attaches great importance to the protection of marine ecosystems and has made active efforts to implement the UNGA Resolution 61/105 in areas where there is a regional fisheries management organization, a process of establishing such organization or no such multilateral regime. For the effective implementation of the UNGA Resolution 61/105 and 64/72, Korea views that the development of support tools and, most importantly, the development of a global database on VMEs are urgently needed because many countries lack the ability to identify VMEs and to assess whether individual bottom fishing activities would have significant adverse impacts on their own.
