Urban tunnelling need to consider not only the stability of tunnel itself but also the ground movement regarding adjacent structures. This paper present 3-D behavior of adjacent structures due to tunnelling induced ground movements by means of field measuring data and nonlinear FEM tunnel analysis. The results of the analytical methods from Mohr-Coulomb model are compared with the site measurement data obtained during the twin tunnel construction. It was found that the location and stiffness of the structure influence greatly the shape and pattern of settlement trough. The settlement trough for Greenfield condition was different from the trough for existing adjacent structures. Therefore the load and stiffness of adjacent structures should be taken into account for the stability analysis of the structures.

Localization is very important for the autonomous navigation of Unmanned Ground Vehicles; however, it is difficult that they have a precise Inertial Navigation System(INS) sensor, especially Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle(SUGV). Moreover, there are some condition such as denial of global position system(GPS), GPS/INS integrated system is not robust. This paper proposes the estimation algorithm with optical flow sensor and INS. Being compared with previous researches, the proposed algorithm is suitable for skid steering vehicles. We revised the measurement model of previous research for the accuracy of side direction position. Experimental results were performed to verify the algorithm, and the result showed an excellent performance.

Outdoor experimental study is presented the insertion loss caused by barrier considering discontinuous ground condition. Measurements ware made in 1/3 octave band over the frequency range 315 Hz~3150 Hz with the various geometry of the source, receiver and barriers. The frequency range of the interference pattern depends on the phase difference between path from the edge of barrier to receiver, and hence on the acoustical properties of the ground on the receiver side of the barrier. The insertion loss by barrier, in addition to diffraction, is shown to be dependent on the ground characteristic.

Numerical calculations were performed to investigate the influence in aerodynamic characteristics of a rotor system by surrounding structures and the ground effect for the rotor blade on a whirl tower is also investigated. Three dimensional Navier-Stokes simulations were carried out by using unstructured overset mesh technique and parallel computation. The calculated hover performance showed good agreement with the experimental result and showed that the structures around the whirl tower did not affect the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade. The ground effect was studied by comparing with the numerical result for the out of ground condition and the result of an analytic model.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the failure surface in a soil mass by a excavation of the model ground. The failure mechanism of an earth structure is usually determined from field failure observations or from laboratory model tests at failure. To study the failure surface for the excavated slope, laboratory model tests were performed by changing the angle of the excavated slope and the ground condition. Results of the laboratory model tests were compared with those obtained with theoretical solutions using limit equilibrium analysis method. The results of model tests show that, there is a failure to create a straight line in the low angle of excavated surface and a create a circle as the angle increases. As the angle of excavated surface is increasing, the angle of the failure surface increases too. In the angle of the failure surface, the submerged ground is less than the dry ground at $3.2^{\circ}$.

Suk-San highway bridge, located on a soft ground environment, had been examined the current condition of settlement estimation throughout G.P.R(Ground Penetrating Radar), general observation and visual observation(video camera & scope). According to the above observations, the ground of this area has sunk about thirty centimeters since 1996. Also, currently, Suk-San highway bridge has been disjoining the gap between the structure and ground. Therefore, it is necessary to fill it up the gap. The purpose of this paper is to report the effects of Sunk-San highway bridge was observed by G.P.R. & general observation etc. and to present the results of repair of Suk-San highway bridge filling the gap up.

In this study, effects of pore structure of ground granulated blast-furnace slag concrete on freezing-thawing resistance are reviewed. As a result, degradation of freezing-thawing resistance performance was occurred as replacement ratio of ground granulated blast-furnace slag increases under same specified concrete strength condition. It is considered that pore structure of internal binder affects freezing-thawing resistance performance.

This paper presents a damage assesment method for buried pipelines subjected to Deep Excavation-induced ground movements. Ground deformation characteristics resulting from 3D finite element analysis was represented mathematically by a hyperbolic tangential function. A parametric study was performed on excavation depth and burial position of pipeline. The result of the parametric study indicate that length of hyperbolic tangential function affects the results of damage assessment. Using numerical studies for buried pipeline response to ground movements by relative flexibility of the pipe-soil system. The result of numerical studies are presented in forms of design charts which can be readily used for various condition encountered in practices.

This paper deals with the dynamic property of ground overvoltage relay in large turbine generator. Relay operation is based on detecting the fundamental voltages originating from the generator. Calculations of fault voltage and current are reviewed for the neutral ground resistance. The frequency, ampitude and waveform of individual harmonics were measured using power quality analyzer and memory hi-corder at the secondary side of ground potential transformer. The ac and dc high-potential tests were applied to evaluate the condition of generator, main and auxiliary transformer, isolated phase bus, potential transformer, surge capacitor and arrester.

The KSLV-I satellite launch vehicle will be launched in a space center currently under construction. The Space Center which is an advance post base of space development of Korea is located on Oenaro island in Kohung, South Cholla Province. A Ground Complex of the Space Center consists of an AC(Assembly Complex), a LC(Launch Complex), and a MCC(Mission Control Center). Assembly and test facilities are located in the AC in which stage assembly, integrated assembly, check-up, certification test, and pre-launch test are made effectively. A launch pad, fuel supply facilities, a launch control center and associated supporting facilities are located in the LC, and the MCC has control over the space center. These ground complex facilities have diverse forms of an interface with mechanical device, electric device, and etc. These should also provide optimum condition and performance during launch operation processes of the launch vehicle. This paper introduces the result of R&D for the AC of the ground complex performed during system design period.
