Recently, excavations using propped walls were popularized in downtown due to reduced settlement of nearby structures. These excavations is induced strain to propped walls or settlement in near ground. In this study, the ground reinforcing effect was proven using NDS, which is an inorganic injection material. Injection tests were performed to compute optimum injection pressure and volume. Next, calibration chamber tests were performed by using computed injection pressure and volume, and wall behaviour was examined for overburden pressures of 50kPa and 150kPa. Ground reinforcing effect was shown when the material behind the propped wall was grouted. From test results, optimum injection pressure was 350kPa and the optimum volume was 10L considering economics. Calibration chamber test results show that after the material was grouted, the maximum settlement was reduced to 19% of the non-grouted condition. For overburden pressures of 50kPa and 150kPa behind the wall, the settlement of the wall increased by 58% and 57% when compared to the case of no overburden pressure.

The method to prepare the large cemented sand specimen for calibration chamber test by air-pluviation is investigated in this study. The uniformity of cemented specimen is evaluated by performing the CPTs, DMTs, and bender element tests in the calibration chamber. The sand particles, pre-wetted with 0.5% water content, are mixed with gypsum to provide the homogeneous coating of gypsum particles on the grain surface. It was shown that the pre-wetting of particle surface is effective to minimize the potential for segregation between sands and gypsum during air-pluviation. It was observed that the extreme void ratios ($e_{max}\;and\;e_{mix}$) of the mixture of pre-wetted sand and gypsum powder increase at lower gypsum content while those of the mixture of dry sand and gypsum decrease with increasing gypsum content. It was also shown from the test results that large cemented specimens reconstituted in calibration chamber by rainer system are quite uniform in vertical and horizontal directions.

A series of CIDC triaxial tests and cone penetration tests in calibration chamber were performed to investigate the relationship between state parameter and normalized cone resistance far dredged Busan sand. From the results of the triaxial tests, the critical state line of Busan sand was established, and the critical state parameters found to be $M=1.39(\phi_{cs}=34^{\circ}),\;\Gamma=1.07$ and $\lambda=0.068$. By analyzing the state parameters and corresponding cone resistances for calibration chamber specimens, the relationship between normalized cone resistance and state parameter for Busan sand was defined as $(q_c-p)/p'=27.6\exp(-10.9\Psi)$. This relationship was also shown to be independent of the stress history. From the comparison of the slope of the normalized cone resistance, m, and the normalized cone resistance at $\Psi=0$, $\kappa$, with those of various sandy soils from over the world, the relationship of m and $\kappa$ with $\lambda_{ss}$ of Busan sand was concluded to show a good agreement with the result published previously, while Busan sand had the largest $\kappa$ among the soils with similar $\lambda_{ss}$ values.

A specially designed injector using electric conductivity was used to measure the liquid film thickness accurately. The measurement conducted through the precise calibration, accuracy is demonstrated in comparison with the previous theory and the results using other measurement method. The tendency of liquid film thickness for geometric parameters was examined by the precise measurement. The variation of air core and stability are examined through the visualization of the formation of air core in swirl chamber and the variation of liquid film thickness by the time.

A Reference Sound Source (RSS) is an important standard device employed in measuring sound power. The specifications of RSS is specified in international standards, and it is classified as a major calibration item in the field of acoustic metrology. Since the output power of RSS is affected by the supply voltage, each country needs to secure its own calibration service system. In this study, a procedure for calibrating a RSS is established based on the reverberant room conditions and uncertainty evaluation is conducted. Basically, the calibration procedure can apply a precision measurement process of acoustic power, and here, the measurement method using the reverberation chamber of ISO 3741 is applied. For this purpose, a measurement system is constructed, measurements are conducted with two types of RSS, and measurement uncertainty is evaluated. Through measurement examples, it is confirmed that the non-uniformity of the sound pressure distribution in the reverberation room and the volume measurement uncertainty contributed significantly to the overall uncertainty. Additionally, the influence of input voltage is experimentally examined to examine the uncertainty contribution that can be reflected in acoustic power measurements.

Based upon temperature calibration using the diffusion flame, the temperature and soot concentration of the turbulent flame in a visualized Diesel engine's turbulent flow of flame was qualitatively measured. Two different heads were used to judge the effect of swirl ratio within the combustion chamber. It was possible to measure the highest temperature of the non-swirl head visualized engine which is approximately 2400K, and that the swirl head engine managed up to 2100K. Also, the more the pressure of the spray increases the more the temperature increases due to the improved combustion situation with respect to the visualized diesel engine soot. This experiment also revealed that the KL factor was high where the fuel collided with the walls of the combustion chamber. Moreover the KL factor was high on parts of the chamber where the temperature dropped rapidly.

Static formulae based on limiting equilibrium theories often provide misleading predictions of pile bearing capacity in cohesionless soils due to the incorrect basic assumptions or oversimplification of actual soil conditions. Soil conditions prior to pile driving are significantly changed after pile installation and imposition of high stress levels. Therefore soi1 parameters at failure rather than those obtained at initial conditions should be used in application of static formulae. In this research. model pile test data were analyzed and compared with the predicted values obtained from the various static formulae. The results showed that the proper choice of soil parameters remarkably improve the reliability of static formulae.

This study is to keep the accuracy and stability of the output dose evaluations for linear accelerator photon beams by using the air ionization chambers (TM31010, 0.125 cc, PTW) through the Task Group 51 protocol. The absorbed dose to water calibration factor $N_{dw}{^{Co-60}}$ was delivered from the air kerma calibration factor $N_k$ which was provided from manufacture through SSDL calibration for determination of output factor. The ionization chamber of TM31010 series was reviewed the calibration factor and other parameters for reduce the uncertainty within ${\pm}2%$ discrepancy and we found the supplied $N_{dw}{^{Co-60}}$ which was derived from Nk has shown a -2.8% uncertainty compare to that of PSDL. The authors provided the program to perform the output dosimetry with TG-51 protocol as it is composed same screen of TG-51 worksheets. The evaluated dose by determination of output factor delivered to postal TLD block for comparison the output dose to that of MDACC (RPC) in postal monitoring program. The results have shown the $1.001{\pm}0.013$ for 6 MV and $0.997{\pm}0.012$ discrepancy for 15 MV X rays for 5 years followed. This study shows the evaluated outputs for linear accelerate photon beams are very close to that of international output monitor with small discrepancy of ${\pm}1.3%$ with high reliability and showing the gradually stability after 2010.
