In general, the design response spectrum in seismic design codes is based on the mean-plus-one-standard deviation response spectrum to secure high safety. In this study, response spectrum analysis was performed using seismic wave records adopted in domestic horizontal design spectrum development studies, while three response spectra were calculated by combining the mean and standard deviation of the spectra. Seismic wave spectral matching generated seismic wave sets matching each response spectrum. Then, seismic fragility was performed by setting three damage levels using a single-degree-of-freedom system. A correlation analysis was performed using a comparative analysis of the change in the response spectrum and the seismic fragility concerning the three response spectra. Finally, in the case of the response spectrum considering the mean and standard deviation, like the design response spectrum, the earthquake load was relatively high, indicating that conservative design or high safety can be secured.

The global pandemic, coronavirus disease caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to the implementation of wastewater surveillance as a means to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in the community. The challenging aspect of establishing wastewater surveillance requires a well-equipped laboratory for wastewater sample analysis. According to previous studies, RT-PCR-based molecular tests are the most widely used and popular detection method worldwide. However, this approach for the detection or quantification of SARS-CoV-2 from wastewater demands a specialized laboratory, skilled personnel, expensive instruments, and a workflow that typically takes 6 to 8 hours to provide results for a few samples. Rapid and reliable alternative detection methods are needed to enable less-well-qualified practitioners to set up and provide sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 within wastewater at regional laboratories. In some cases, the structural and molecular characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 are unknown, and various strategies for the correct diagnosis of COVID-19 have been proposed by research laboratories. The ongoing research and development of alternative and rapid technologies, namely RT-LAMP, ELISA, Biosensors, and GeneXpert, offer a wide range of potential options not only for SARS-CoV-2 detection but also for other viruses. This study aims to discuss the effective regional rapid detection and quantification methods in community wastewater.

Squr dikes in rivers can enhance various ecological environments, contributing to the improvement of the river's environmental functions. However, the alterations in flow caused by squr dikes not only enhance environmental functions but can also have adverse effects. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the flow changes induced by the installation of squr dikes through flume experiments and assess their impact on fish habitats. Key factors in the fish habitat environment include flow velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and recirculation zones. Among these, particular emphasis was placed on examining turbulence kinetic energy and recirculation zones. Experimental conditions were set by varying the interval and submergence of the squr dikes, resulting in a total of eight experimental cases. The results revealed that shorter interval and lower submergence of the squr dikes led to increased turbulence kinetic energy and recirculation zone sizes, significantly impacting fish habitats.

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the discrimination accuracy of a bridge load carrying capacity estimation model based on data from inspection reports. The load carrying rate estimation model was derived using statistical methods through the collection of 2,161 inspection reports. By entering the bridge specifications and maintenance information, you can check the estimated load carrying capacity of the bridge. In order to verify the discrimination accuracy of the estimated load carrying rate model, the estimated load carrying rate was compared with the load carrying rate in the inspection and diagnosis report for 164 public bridges for which data was available. Although there are differences depending on the bridge type, the results were obtained with an accuracy of over 80% in determining the estimated load carrying capacity.

The reclamation area of Saemangeum(Kunsan) located between 126。10´E - 126。50´ E and 35。35´N - 36。05´N at the western coast of Korea. The construction of the 33km sea dike is building in the Saemangeum area. When the construction of the sea dike in the coastal region takes plase, there exists, a certain amount of soil which is diffused by the tidal current. (omitted)
