In this study, probabilistic analysis of seepage through a two-layered soil foundation was performed. The hydraulic conductivity of soil shows significant spatial variations in different layers because of stratification; further, it varies on a smaller scale within each individual layer. Therefore, the deterministic seepage analysis method was extended to develop a probabilistic approach that accounts for the uncertainties and spatial variation of the hydraulic conductivity in a layered soil profile. Two-dimensional random fields were generated on the basis of the Karhunen-Lo$\grave{e}$ve expansion in a manner consistent with a specified marginal distribution function and an autocorrelation function for each layer. A Monte Carlo simulation was then used to determine the statistical response based on the random fields. A series of analyses were performed to verify the application potential of the proposed method and to study the effects of uncertainty due to the spatial heterogeneity on the seepage behavior of two-layered soil foundation beneath water retaining structure. The results showed that the probabilistic framework can be used to efficiently consider the various flow patterns caused by the spatial variability of the hydraulic conductivity in seepage assessment for a layered soil foundation.

The method of characteristic matrix used in the calculation of multi-layered optical coating is applied to the analysis of DFB waveguide with arbitrary structure of grating by plecewise approximation where the DFB structure is devided into many sections in which the gain and period, amplitude and phase of DFB structure are assuced to be constant in each section. The DFB structure with two section is analyzed using this method of C-matrix. The possible applications for photonic devices using DFB waveguides are proposed.

Results of the analysis of the structural behavior of axially loaded nodes in freeform structure were not fully understood due to certain difficulties, including the application of various welding and bolting types. In this study, a node of single layered freeform structure was tested to determine its structural behavior when subjected to axial loads. The tests were classified into node ball tests to evaluate the center of the node subjected to cyclic and monotonic loading. The node part tests were also conducted to evaluate the whole node subjected to monotonic loading. The test showed that the node ball is safe with the tensile force, but the node ball needs to increase its strength with the node loaded compressive force due to the additional bending moment of the node ball's asymmetric form.

The grounding impedance is not lowered by expanding the dimension of the grounding electrode, and the length of grounding electrode which shows the minimum value of the grounding impedance for each condition of frequency and soil characteristics is existent, and it is defined as Critical Length. In this paper, a new distributed parameter circuit model considering the condition of the multi-layered soil structures was proposed, and the grounding impedance and critical length of the vertical grounding electrode were analyzed by using the newly proposed simulation model and the MATLAB program. As a consequence, it was found that the effect of the soil structure on the frequency-dependent grounding impedance and critical length of the vertical grounding electrode is significant. It is desirable to consider the soil structure in optimal design of the grounding system.
