고로는 제철소에서 철을 만들어 내는 핵심설비 중 하나로 고온고압 환경에서 냉각과 팽창으로 인한 철피의 손상이 노출되어 있어 대형사고에 대한 발생 가능성이 높아 중점관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출법을 이용한 대형구조물 안전진단 시스템에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 특히, 철피 크랙의 성장은 큰 에너지를 수반하게 되어, 음향방출 에너지 파라미터의 급격한 증가로 심각한 손상을 예측하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 고로의 정비시기를 앞당겨 확인한 결과 실제 크랙을 UT와 병행하여 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출법을 이용한 대형 구조물인 철피균열의 심각도에 대한 평가기준을 마련하여 구조물 조기 결함진단 시스템의 활용으로 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

Groundwater monitoring is commonly practiced with real-time sensors placed in several depth spots in aquifer. However, this method only provides monitoring data at the point where the sensors are installed. In this study, we developed a vertical line monitoring system (VLMS) that can provide continuous data of groundwater parameters along the vertical depth. The device was installed in a well located on the coast of the eastern part of Jeju island to monitor electrical conductivity, temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and oxidation-reduction potential over approximately 3 months from September 11 to December 3, 2020. The results indicated that the groundwater levels fluctuated with the tidal change of seawater level, and the upper and lower boundaries of the freshwater and saltwater zone in the groundwater were located at below 16 m and 36 m of mean sea level, respectively. There was a large variation in EC values during the high tide and temperature change was the greatest during flow tide. Although further investigation is needed for improvement of the device to obtain more accurate and reliable data, the device has a potential utility to provide fundamental data to understand the seawater intrusion and transport mechanisms in coastal aquifers.

An open rack vaporizer is a facility that vaporizes liquefied natural gas using sea water. When a vaporization efficiency of the open rack vaporizer decreases, liquefied natural gas can leak, which can cause great damage to the facility. Operators have to monitor the operation state of the facility in real-time to prevent the accident. However, operators have visited the site and have checked the state by looking at the value of sensors installed in the open rack vaporizer through indicators. For the safe operation of the open rack vaporizer, a monitoring system is needed to monitor the operation state of the open rack vaporizer in real-time without the need for operators to visit the site. In this paper, we developed a long term evolution based monitoring system to monitor the operation state of the open rack vaporizer. The developed system can monitor the real-time operation state of the open rack vaporizer at a control center far from the facility. For the system development, data transmission infrastructure using long term evolution was built. Afterwards a software was developed to monitor the operation state of the open rack vaporizer in real-time using the transmitted data. Finally, performance evaluation was conducted to confirm that the developed system operated successfully without data transmission delay or data missing.

The frequent occurrence of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) in inland waters under climate change seriously damages the ecosystem and human health and is becoming a big problem in South Korea. Satellite remote sensing is suggested for effective monitoring CHABs at a larger scale of water bodies since the traditional method based on sparse in-situ networks is limited in space. However, utilizing a standalone variable of satellite reflectances in common CHABs dual-models, which relies on both chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and phycocyanin or cyanobacteria cells (Cyano-cell), is not fully beneficial because their seasonal variation is highly impacted by surrounding meteorological and bio-environmental factors. Along with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), monitoring CHABs from space with analyzing the effects of environmental factors is accessible. This study aimed to investigate the potential application of AI in the dual-model strategy (Chl-a and Cyano-cell are output parameters) for monitoring seasonal dynamics of CHABs from satellites over Korean inland waters. The Sentinel-3 satellite was selected in this study due to the variety of spectral bands and its unique band (620 nm), which is sensitive to cyanobacteria. Via the AI-based feature selection, we analyzed the relationships between two output parameters and major parameters (satellite water-leaving reflectances at different spectral bands), together with auxiliary (meteorological and bio-environmental) parameters, to select the most important ones. Several AI models were then employed for modelling Chl-a and Cyano-cell concentration from those selected important parameters. Performance evaluation of the AI models and their comparison to traditional semi-analytical models were conducted to demonstrate whether AI models (using water-leaving reflectances and environmental variables) outperform traditional models (using water-leaving reflectances only) and which AI models are superior for monitoring CHABs from Sentinel-3 satellite over a Korean inland water body.

The DOR (Drainage outlet raising) in the paddy field has been suggested as one of the most important best management practices for the TMDL (Total maximum daily load) management in the technical guidelines by the NIER (National institute of environmental research). However, this method is underestimated and is not well adopted by local governments for the TMDL. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the unit load reduction equation according to the application of DOR in order to expand this equation. The original equation in the guideline was derived using the HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran) model for 1 year in Changnyeong. We analyzed the reduction effect of the original equation application by collecting additional long-term monitoring data from the Buan, Icheon, Iksan, and Jeonju. When comparing the reduction loads between the original equation and monitoring results, the evaluation results of the original equation were 11% of the monitoring analysis results, which was underestimated. This means that the original equation needs to be improved. For assessing the equation, the HSPF Paddy-RCH model was established according to the NI ER guideline and evaluated for applicability. The performance results of the model showed a reasonable range by the statistical criteria. Modified equations 1 and 2 were proposed based on the monitoring and modeling results. Modified equation 1 was the method of modifying the original equation's main factors, and modified equation 2 was the method of applying the non-point pollution reduction efficiency according to the rainfall class using the long-term modeling results. At the level of 58.6~64.6% of monitoring data, the difference between them could be further reduced compared to the original equation. The suggested approach will be more reasonable and practicable for decision-makers and will contribute to the TMDL management plans.

본 연구에서는 대기분야에 GIS를 적용하여 대구지역 미세먼지(PM-10) 측정소의 위치가 적절한지 평가하고, 공중보건과 밀접한 관련이 있는 PM-10을 관리하기 위한 적합한 장소를 모색하였다. 대구시에는 총 11개의 도시대기측정소가 있으며 측정된 자료는 전체적인 PM-10 오염현황파악에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 대기오염 자동측정소는 측정기기의 배치상의 문제점을 자주 노출해 왔다. 따라서 본 연구는 GIS 보간법인 IDW와 Kriging 기법을 활용하여 대구지역 PM-10 농도지도를 작성하였다. 그 후, 대역분석을 통해 법정동별 평균 PM-10오염농도를 산출한 뒤, 기존 설치된 측정소가 저오염지역과 고오염지역 전반에 걸쳐 고르게 분포하고 있는지 평가하였다. 연도별, 계절별, 요일별 각 측정기간별로 살펴본 결과 대구광역시에 설치된 PM-10 대기측정소는 다양한 농도를 대표하기에는 부족한 부분이 있었다. 이러한 부족 부분을 보강하기 위하여, 각 평가단계마다 공통적으로 선정된 7개 지역(남산동, 남일동, 동일동, 북성로 1가, 종로 2가, 향촌동, 화전동)이 PM-10을 위한 추가설치지점으로 제안된다. 나아가, 대구지역 뿐만 아니라 타 도시에서도 공중의 보건을 위해 측정소의 구체적인 설치 장소 선정 및 추가설치가 필요할 것이라 제안된다.

방사성핵종의 특성, 섭취형태 그리고 내부피폭 감시주기는 작업자의 방사성핵종 섭취량 및 내부피폭선량 평가 결과에 중요한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 방사성핵종이 흡입섭취 될 경우 섭취형태(급성 또는 만성) 및 내부피폭 감시주기에 따른 섭취량 평가 오차를 계산하였다. 섭취 핵종으로는 $^{125}$/I(Type F), $^{137}$Cs(Type F), $^{235}$ U(Type M, Type S)를 고려하였고, 방사능입자크기(AMAD)는 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$와 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$를 고려하였다. 섭취형태에 따라 평가된 섭취량의 상대오차는 방사성핵종, 흡수형태 그리고 내부피폭 감시주기에 따라 달랐으나, 입자크기에 의한 영향은 거의 없었다. 섭취형태 가정에 따른 섭취량 평가 오차를 10% 미만으로 줄일 수 있는 내부피폭 최대감시주기는 $^{125}$/I(Type F)에 대해 60일, $^{137}$Cs(Type F)에 대해 180일, $^{235}$ U(Type M)에 대해 90일, 그리고 $^{235}$ U(Type S)에 대해 360일로 나타났다.

This paper presents a nondestructive evaluation approach for system identification (SID) of real railway bridges using field vibration test results. First, a multi-phase SID scheme designed on the basis of eigenvalue sensitivity concept is presented. Next, the proposed multi-phase approach is evaluated from field vibration tests on a real railway bridge (Wondongcheon bridge) located in Yangsan, Korea. On the steel girder bridge, a few natural frequencies and mode shapes are experimentally measured under the ambient vibration condition. The corresponding modal parameters are numerically calculated from a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model established for the target bridge. Eigenvalue sensitivities are analyzed for potential model-updating parameters of the FE model. Then, structural subsystems are identified phase-by-phase using the proposed model-updating procedure. Based on model-updating results, a baseline model and a nondestructive evaluation of test bridge are identified.
