Top Base Foundation(TBF) is a stabilization method for light weight structures particularly in the soft ground. It is widely used for the increment of bearing capacity and restraining settlement of foundations when the bearing capacity of ground is not enough. However, when the design values from exiting Japanese standard are compared with the observation values from the field measurement, the bearing capacity of exiting standard estimated smaller For this reason, it is necessary to establish more reasonable prediction technique considering to understand the behavior of TBF in soft ground. In this study, 1/5 scale model tests were performed in the laboratory. Also, full scale tests were carried out in order to investigate the behavior of TBF with various shapes. In addition, about 100 sites measurement data were evaluated to investigate the behavior of TBF in various ground conditions. Based on the results of the model tests and field measurement data, it was possible to establish more reasonable the bearing capacity equation of TBF considering various N-value of soil, the effect of underground water and failure shapes.

A study on factors influencing measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) system was conducted in Kimnyeong wind turbine test site on Jeju Island. Three properties of wind including inclined angle, turbulence intensity and power law exponent were taken into account as factors influencing the measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR. In order to calculate LiDAR measurements error, 2.5-month wind speed data collected from LiDAR (WindCube v2) were compared with concurrent data from the anemometer on a nearby 120m-high meteorological mast. In addition, data filtering was performed and its filtering criteria was based on the findings at previous researches. As a result, at 100m above ground level, absolute LiDAR error rate with absolute inclined angle showed 4.58~13.40% and 0.77 of the coefficients of determination, $R^2$. That with turbulence intensity showed 3.58~23.94% and 0.93 of $R^2$ while that with power law exponent showed 4.71~9.53% and 0.41 of $R^2$. Therefore, it was confirmed that the LiDAR measurement error was highly affected by inclined angle and turbulence intensity, while that did not much depend on power law exponent.

A systematic approach of measurement, modeling and analysis of grounding system impedance in the field of lightning protection systems is presented. The measurement and analysis of ground impedance are based on a computer aided technique. The magnitude and phase of ground impedance were measured and analyzed by the modified fall-of-potential method and the proposed computer program algerian using the waveforms of the test current and potential rise. The theoretical analysis of ground impedance were performed with the equivalent circuit models, and the theoretical results were compared with the measured data.

This paper describes the analysis for ground impedance measurement influenced by distance of current probe and frequency using the fall-of-potential method and the testing techniques to minimize the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-potential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the effects of ground impedance due to the distance of the current probe and frequency, ground impedances were measured in case that the distance of current probe was located from 5[m] to 20[m] and the measuring frequency was ranged in 55[Hz], 128[Hz], 342[Hz], and 513[Hz]. The results could be help to determine the position of current probe when the ground impedance was measured at grounding system.

The inclination attitude of the Ground-Based Radar can be measured by the accelerometer due to its static operation environment, but the measurement error is generated from the angular acceleration of the accelerometer, which is created in mechanical oscillation by the dynamic environment, like the wind, gust, rotating antenna, etc. In this paper, the technique of reducing the measurement error of the attitude by the dynamic attitude is proposed and the result of the simulation and the analysis of tracking error by the attitude error are presented.

An optical technique using laser for non-contact measurement of surface roughness and form accuracy of ground surfaces is presented. It is found that, when a ground surface is illuminated by a beam of laser light, the roughness height and slope distribution has significant influence on the pattern of reflection and it maintains an unique Gaussian distribution relationship with the surface roughness. The principle idea of the optical measurement system is therefore monitor the radiation, and then calibrate it in process against surface roughness by means of necessary digital data processing. On the other hand, measuring the form accuracy of a ground surface is accomplished by using a triangular method, which is based on observing the movement of an image of a spot of light projected onto the surface. The image is focused, through a series of lenses for magnification, on a photodetector array lf line configur- ation. Then the relative movement of image and consequently the form accuracy of the surface can be obtained through appropriate calibration procedures. Experimental test showed that the optical roughness measurement technique suggested in this work is very efficient for most industrial applications being capable of monitoring the roughness heights ranging 0.1 to 0.6 .$\mu$m CLA values. And form accuracy can be measured in process with a resolution of 10 .$\mu$m.

This paper presents a new method based upon the light scattering concept for on-the-machine measurement of roughness of ground surfaces. The present method utilizes fluxes of scattered lights condensed through lenses aligned along the specular direction. A theorctical analysis is preformed for the purpose of investigating the possibility of the method as well as determining the experimental condition. Experiment is also performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The theoretical and experimental results show that the proposed method has a potential to identify a wide range of surface roughness and is robust enough to be useful in on-the-machine measurement of roughness of ground surfaces.

GOSAT satellite $CO_2$ signal in years (June, 2009-December 2012) were compared with ground-based measurement at Anmyeon-do Korea Global Atmosphere Watch Center (KGAWC), located on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. The result reveals that GOSAT signature is closely associated with ground-based measurement($R^2=0.49$). Strong correlation occurred between summer and fall ($R^2=0.62$) while weak relationship between satellite and ground-based measurement were identified in winter and spring ($R^2=0.37$). Average $CO_2$ concentration of GOSAT were 6.31 ppm lower than the corresponding values obtained from ground-based measurements on the same date. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference in introducing GOSAT to confirm data quality assurance for area-wide carbon monitoring process in relation to Anmyeon-do KGAWC $CO_2$ Concentration data.

The only practical way to measure wind resource at high-altitude over 100 m above ground for a feasibility study on a high-rise building integrated wind turbine might be ground-based remote sensing. The remote-sensing campaign was performed at a 145 m-building roof in Jamsil where is a center of metropolitan city Seoul. The campaign aimed uncertainty assessment of Leosphere WindCube LIDAR and Scintec MPAS SODAR through a mutual comparison. Compared with LIDAR, the data availability of SODAR was about 2/3 at 550 m altitude while both showed over 90% under 400 m, and it is shown that the data availability decrease may bring a distortion of statistical analysis. The wind speed measurement of SODAR was fitted to a slope of 0.92 and $R^2$ of 0.90 to the LIDAR measurement. The relative standard deviation of wind speed difference and standard deviation of wind direction difference were evaluated to be 30% and 20 degrees, respectively over the whole measurement heights.
