Vertical loads acting on corrugated metal culverts under negative arching condition were investigated through numerical analyses. Four kinds of corrugated metal culverts with span of 3m were considered in numerical analyses. Also, depths of cover were varied from 1m to 6m with increment of 1m. According to numerical analyses, magnitudes of vertical loads acting on culverts under the condition of negative arching were similar as overburden load on culvert. Furthermore, magnitudes of vertical loads acting on culverts supported by pile foundation were similar as those without pile foundation when depths of cover were less than about 2m. For larger depths of cover which are greater than about two times of span of culvert, magnitudes of vertical loads were slightly larger than those without pile foundation and its tendency becomes more clear as flexural rigidity of corrugated metal increases.

World widely, the occurrences of earthquakes have been increased recently. Speculating from cases of earthquakes in the world, it is reported that damages have been made underground structures like cut-and-cover tunnels, especially on the upper of tunnel with a shallow depth and the backfilled area adjacently by earthquakes. Earthquakes have a tendency to increase recently in Korea but it is deficient in seismic design criteria. In this study, Shaking table test on both soil and EPS blocks was performed to analyze the efficiency of the seismic performance of the cut-and-cover tunnels according to characteristic of backfill materials and embanking material. It turned out to be effective in improving the seismic performance according to analysis of strain and bending stress of tunnel by earthquakes.

This study suggested the new site classification system according to land use, type of contamination and contaminants. Because the present site classification system can not cover all the areas, we changed the concept of land use to more detail one and enlarged the concept of other areas to cover all the areas not defined as certain land use. In case of the present industrial area, it was merged as other areas to avoid the confusion with oil and toxic material storage tank farm area. Accident area was separated from other areas and defined as only accident area caused by the mobile storage facility. In addition to classify the sites according to the basic land use, we classify the sites again in lower level according to the type of contamination and contaminants. With this classification system, we proposed different soil sampling strategy with the consideration of the origin of contamination and the interactions between soil and contaminants. We removed the surface soil sample (0~15 cm depth) around above storage tank because it was not a effective sample to assess whether that area contaminated or not. We also proposed to take the deeper soil samples at minimum three sampling points to confirm the depth of contamination in exploratory soil survey. We also proposed to remove the one point of 15 m depth sampling because it is not effective to confirm contaminated soil depth and needs the exhausted labor and cost. Instead of doing this, we added the continuous sampling to uncontaminated subsoil. Soil sampling points and depth in detailed soil survey is determined based on the results of exploratory soil survey. Therefore, effectiveness and reinforcements of exploratory soil survey would play an important role in improving the reliability of detailed soil survey.

DIBR(Depth Image Based Rendering) is a kind of view synthesis algorithm to generate images at free view points from the reference color image and its depth map. One of the main challenges of DIBR is the occurrence of holes that correspond to uncovered backgrounds at the synthesized view. In order to cover holes efficiently, two main approaches have been actively investigated. One is to develop preprocessing algorithms for depth maps or parallax maps to reduce the size of possible holes, and the other is to develop hole filling methods to fill the generated holes using adjacent pixels in non-hole areas. Most conventional preprocessing algorithms for reducing the size of holes are based on the smoothing process of depth map. Filtering of depth map, however, attenuates the resolution of depth map and generates geometric distortions. In this paper, we proposes a novel preprocessing algorithm for parallax map to improve the performance of hole-filling by avoiding the drawbacks of conventional methods.

This study was conducted into the effects of cover crops among the hairy vetch, red clover, rye, and hairy vetch+rye on the soil chemical and physical properties, and fruit yield in mature 'Fuyu' persimmon (Diospyros${\times}$kaki Thunb.) trees. The shallow-rooted red clover had poor dry matter production, resulting in the lowest coverage (66%) on the orchard floor. In contrast, the highest dry matter production observed in rye and hairy vetch+rye. Estimated N, P and K production from the cover crops were the highest on the hairy vetch+rye plots, increasing soil chemicals at a depth of 0-30 cm soil. Rye or hairy vetch+rye treatments decreased the soil bulk density and solid phase. As the hairy vetch+rye treatment increased fruit yield and sugar contents, it could be proposed as an suitable cover crop for improving productivity of persimmon trees.

In this study, accelerated corrosion tests were conducted on concrete specimens with and without accelerated carbonation beforehand for the purpose of elucidating the effects of carbonation, cover depth, and water-cement ratio (W/C) on the reinforcement corrosion. During testing, the corrosion current between the anode steel and cathode stainless steel was measured to continuously monitor the progress of corrosion throughout the test period, thereby investigating the mechanism of reinforcement corrosion and the relationship between corrosion and crack width, as well as other parameters.

The potential and step voltage distribution around low voltage joint-box cover were simulated with the variation of resistivity of water, depth of submerged water and point of leakage current. The potential distribution is very high gradient around low voltage joint-box, this condition is very dangerous states.

Surgical anatomy for Asian rhinoplasty Part I reviewed layered anatomy with neurovascular system of the nose. Part II discusses upper two-thirds of nose which consists of nasal bony and cartilaginous structures. Nasal physiology is mentioned briefly since there are several key structures that are important in nasal function. Following Part III will cover lower one-third of nose including in-depth anatomic structures which are important for advanced Asian rhinoplasty.

In this study, for the investigation of effects of several parameters, such as fluid mesh boundary size, cylinder or block shape, dimensions of depth, breadth and length at free suface, and fluid mesh element size to the depth direction on a reliable shock response of finite element model under underwater explosion with consideration of the bulk cavitation analysis of a simplified surface ship was carried out using the LS-DYNA3D/USA code. The shock responses were not much affected by the fluid mesh parameters. The computational time was greatly dependent on the number of DAA boundary segments. It is desirable to reduce the DAA boundary segments in the fluid mesh model, and it is not necessary to cover the fluid mesh boundary to or beyond the bulk cavitation zone just for the concerns about an initial shock wave response. It is also the better way to prefer cylinder type of the fluid mesh model to the block one.

This study is performed for the purpose of obtaining the fundamental datum to analyse the cause of steel corrosion in concrete and establish the repair strategies of deteriorated reinforced concrete structures due to steel corrosion. To investigate the degree of concrete deterioration, soluble chloride content in harden concrete, the depth of carbonation, cover depth and compressive strength are measured. The progress of corrosion of concrete bridge is electrochemically evaluated. The result shows that in approximately 43% of the structures below -350mV(vs. CSE), the exessive chloride contents is a direct cause of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures.
