Pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (PFRP) and FRP member manufactured by sheet molding compound (SMC) have superior mechanical and physical properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Since FRP has an excellent corrosion-resistance and high specific strength and stiffness, the FRP material may be highly appreciated for the development of floating-type photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. In this paper, advanced floating PV generation system made of PFRP and SMC is designed. In the design, it includes tracking solar altitude by tilting photovoltaic arrays and tracking solar azimuth by spinning structures. Moreover, the results of the finite element analysis (FEA) are presented to confirm stability of entire structure under the external loads. Additionally, installation procedure and mooring systems in the Hap-Cheon Dam are discussed and the measurement of strain under the actual circumstances is conducted for assuring stability of actually installed structures. Finally, by comparison with allowable stress, appropriate safety of structure is confirmed to operate the system.

Compared to yellow dust coming from China or particulate matter created naturally in spring due to Total Suspended Particulate(TSP), particulate matter in winter season have much more serious effect on human body as they penetrate cell membranes. Although such particulate matter are becoming a social issue, there are no concrete plans on how to reduce them. Air-purifying plants are limited in maintaining the indoor air quality of large area because it is usually difficult to quantify their performance. In order to improve this, a bio-filter that can be connected to air conditioner is suggested as an option. This study seeks to improve air conditioning model-based monitoring method for bio-filters from prior studies and objectify correlations between applied vegetation and growing environment into quantitative indicators. By doing so, this study seeks to provide criteria on plants applied to artificial soil-based vegetation bio-filters and basic information to set air-conditioning features. The study results confirmed significant tendency on the growing stability of each purifying plant in mechanical air-conditioning environment. Among three models selected for bio-filter vegetation models, epipremnum aureum showed high performance in quantitative indicators, including soil moisture, EC, and leaf temperature, etc., indicating that it would assure the highest growing stability in this test air-conditioning environment.

댐과 터널 그리고 사면 같은 지반구조물의 정기적인 계측 및 모니터링은 안전성 유지를 위해 필요하다. 국내에서는 드론과 가속도계와 같은 장비를 활용하여 지반구조물에 대한 점검 및 모니터링을 수행한다. 하지만, 드론은 구조물 및 지반 내부의 변화를 파악에 어려움이 있고, 가속도계는 일반적으로 내진 설계나 변형량 측정에만 활용되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 가속도계를 활용하여 지반 내부 정보를 실시간 또는 정기적으로 계측하기 위해 SASW 시험 활용을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 SASW 시험의 해석 기법의 일부분만 활용하여 지반구조물의 강도 및 상태 변화를 추적한다. 이를 위해, SASW를 활용하여 사면, 댐 및 터널과 같은 지반구조물의 안전성을 평가한 사례들을 분석하여 기술의 적합성을 확인하였다. 또한, 현장 적용성을 높이기 위해, 복잡한 해석을 요구하는 전단 속도 프로파일을 도출하는 2차 해석보다는 분산곡선을 도출하는 1차 해석만을 활용하는 방안을 모색하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 기술을 통해 가속도계를 활용하여 지반구조물의 지속적인 모니터링 및 유지보수가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

하천 홍수해석 분야에서 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 1차원 동수역학 수치모형의 입력자료는 상하류단 경계조건, 조도계수, 하도단면 등이며, 계산 시간간격 및 거리간격의 선정은 계산결과의 정확성, 안정성, 효율성 확보를 위한 핵심 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 단면간격 선정기법의 이론적 배경을 검토하였고, 매 시간단계별로 도출되는 흐름특성을 반영하여 계산거리간격을 추정하는 가변 계산거리간격 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법을 1차원 부정류 수치모형과 연계하여 Teton 댐 붕괴 및 한강 홍수 사상에 대해 적용함으로써 기존 고정 계산거리간격 추정 기법에 의한 해석결과와 비교하였다. 더 많은 내삽단면이 사용될 경우, 수치 수렴성 실험 결과는 수치해의 정확성과 안정성이 높아짐을 나타내었고, 본 연구에서 제안된 기법은 기존 고정 계산거리간격 추정기법보다 적은 단면개수로 동일한 정도의 정확도를 나타냄으로써 계산 효율성을 크게 향상시켰다. 본 연구에서 개발된 기법의 실무적용을 통해 정확성과 안정성뿐만 아니라 높은 효율성을 갖는 하천 홍수해석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

We established an efficient transformation method for thermophile Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426 using conjugative transfer from Escherichia coli of host-mimicking plasmids that imitate DNA methylation of strain HTA426 to circumvent its DNA restriction barriers. Two conjugative plasmids, pSTE33T and pUCG18T, capable of shuttling between E. coli and Geobacillus spp., were constructed. The plasmids were first introduced into E. coli BR408, which expressed one inherent DNA methylase gene (dam) and two heterologous methylase genes from strain HTA426 (GK1380-GK1381 and GK0343-GK0344). The plasmids were then directly transferred from E. coli cells to strain HTA426 by conjugative transfer using pUB307 or pRK2013 as a helper plasmid. pUCG18T was introduced very efficiently (transfer efficiency, $10^{-5}-10^{-3}\;recipient^{-1}$). pSTE33T showed lower efficiency ($10^{-7}-10^{-6}\;recipient^{-1}$) but had a high copy number and high segregational stability. Methylase genes in the donor substantially affected the transfer efficiency, demonstrating that the host-mimicking strategy contributes to efficient transformation. The transformation method, along with the two distinguishing plasmids, increases the potential of G. kaustophilus HTA426 as a thermophilic host to be used in various applications and as a model for biological studies of this genus. Our results also demonstrate that conjugative transfer is a promising approach for introducing exogenous DNA into thermophiles.

In recent years, as an effort to grasp the leading position in the field of maritime trading, new ports and container terminals arc now under construction. Old ports are extended. At the beginning, stones were thrown down to form stone embankments, that is stone-dams, in the outer and inner boundaries of the planned reclamation-land. S.C.P(Sand Compaction Pile) works are often needed to improve the stability of stone-dams, where marine sediments arc relatively thick. Here, interests are centered on the shape of stone body. In this, drilling work won't provide a sufficient resolution. In addition, the result corresponds to only one borehole point information. Thus, the aim of this paper is to introduce an affordable technology, that is, a combined geophysical method(seismic tomography + Televiewer) enables to get the whole information about stone-dam section. The measuring and evaluating procedure is described in detail with an emphasis on dealing with the use of seismic detonator, proper borehole deployment and integrated data analysis. Examples of field experiments at Busan new port are illustrated, which will prove the benefit of combined geophysical method.

It is common that the soil layer is few meters below the earth surface and there are rock masses below the soil layer in the view of geological characteristics in Korea. The boundary between rock and soil is clearly divided. When dealing with the stability of rock masses, as in the case of rock slopes or dam foundations, the majority of the collapses is not within the soil layer, but within the soil-rock boundary. Therefore, it is important to identify the shear strength characteristics between soil-rock contacts. It has been common practice to assume that the strength of the soil or shale represents the minimum strength present. However, it has been suggested by Patton(1968) that such an assumption may not be valid and that lower shear strengths might be obtained along the soil-rock interface than for either material alone. Then, in this thesis, introduce rock and residual soil shear strength tests and the specimen preparation and testing procedures are described in detail and also the testing results are presented and discussed.

This paper describes a model test and numerical simulation of a 750-kW-semi-submersible platform wind turbine under several wind and wave conditions for validation of the numerical simulation model. The semi-submersible platform was designed to support the 750-kW-wind turbine class and operate at a water depth of 50 m. The model tests were performed to estimate the performance characteristics of the wind turbine system in the wide tank of the University of Ulsan. Motions and loads of the wind turbine system under the wind and wave conditions were measured and analyzed. The NREL-FAST code was used to simulate the wind turbine system, and the results were compared with those of the test model. The results demonstrate that the numerical simulation captures noticeably the fully coupled floating wind turbine dynamic responses. Also, the model shows a good stability and small responses during waves, wind, and operation of the 750-kW-floating offshore wind turbine.

This paper deals with the detail rotordynamic analysis for BB5 eight stages pump as development of API 610 BB5 type pump. Dry-run analytical model, not considering operating fluid, and wet-run analytical model, considering operating fluid are established. In addition, plain circular and pressure dam bearings are chosen and it was discussed that each bearing has an effect on dynamic characteristics of pump rotor system. A rotordynamic analysis includes the critical speed map, Campbell diagram, stability, and unbalance response. As results, it was predicted that rated speed of the pump rotor passes through 1st critical speed in dry-run condition regardless of bearings, however, it was verified that, in wet-run condition, the rotor system doesn't have critical speeds even if more than twice rated speed. Hence the resonance problem caused by the critical speeds does not happen since actual operating is in wet-run condition including operating fluid. As a result of unbalance response analysis, the pump rotor has stable vibration response at rated speed, regardless of operating fluid and the proposed bearing types.

As the variability of recent rainfall is increasing, it is becoming important to recognize the possibility of changes in the current reservoir state in advance and to inspect the stability based on accurate evaluation standards. However, the evaluation standards for the state change factors of reservoirs are still not suitable for agricultural reservoirs and thus much improvement is needed. Therefore, in this study, the evaluation criteria for state change factors specialized for small reservoirs were categorized and standards were prepared by considering factors that may cause state changes on the dam crest, upstream slope, and downstream slope of the embankment. The categorized results were configured based on the number of mentions of the precision safety inspection report on major defects in 102 reservoirs and the defect factors found in field investigations. The findings of the study indicated that the current state change standards require many revisions for excessive or unnecessary state change factors in the reservoir. Specifically, the deletion of measurement gauges not applicable to the reservoir, the addition of defects found in the reservoir, and the scope of use of the term were proposed. The results of this study can contribute to efficient system operation and management by improving the deficiencies in the system and introducing a new state change factor.
