수평배수재가 설치된 준설매립지반의 중력에 의한 압밀 거동을 수평배수 자중압밀해석을 위하여 개발된 유한차분 프로그램을 이용하여 해석하였다. 수평배수재 단면의 크기와 수평배수재의 설치단면의 방향(수직/수평)이 대상지반의 압밀에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 시공된 지반에서 발생 가능한 요인들, 즉 하부 무처리층의 존재, 그리고 수평배수재 단부에서의 수두적체 등이 압밀속도와 침하량에 미치는 영향도 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수평배수재의 단면적을 2배로 증가하여도 압밀 소요시간이 미량 감소하는데 그쳤으나, 수평배수재를 수직방향으로 설치한 경우 수평방향 설치시에 비하여 압밀소요 시간이 매우 감소하는 것으로 평가되었다. 해석결과로 부터 하부 무처리층의 영향이 처리 지반의 장기 침하에 미치는 영향이 크며, 배수재 단부에 발생하는 수두적체는 압밀시간 증가와 미진한 압밀효과를 초래하는 것을 정량적으로 알 수 있었다.

Seismic design practices and seismic response analyses of civil structures and nuclear power plants (NPPs) have conventionally used the peak ground acceleration (PGA) or spectral acceleration (S_a) as an intensity measure (IM) of an earthquake. However, there are many other earthquake IMs that were proposed by various researchers. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between seismic responses of NPP components and 23 earthquake IMs and identify the best IMs for correlating with damage of NPP structures. Particularly, low- and high-frequency ground motion records are separately accounted in correlation analyses. An advanced power reactor NPP in Korea, APR1400, is selected for numerical analyses where containment and auxiliary buildings are modeled using SAP2000. Floor displacements and accelerations are monitored for the non- and base-isolated NPP structures while shear deformations of the base isolator are additionally monitored for the base-isolated NPP. A series of Pearson's correlation coefficients are calculated to recognize the correlation between each of the 23 earthquake IMs and responses of NPP structures. The numerical results demonstrate that there is a significant difference in the correlation between earthquake IMs and seismic responses of non-isolated NPP structures considering low- and high-frequency ground motion groups. Meanwhile, a trivial discrepancy of the correlation is observed in the case of the base-isolated NPP subjected to the two groups of ground motions. Moreover, a selection of PGA or S_a for seismic response analyses of NPP structures in the high-frequency seismic regions may not be the best option. Additionally, a set of fragility curves are thereafter developed for the base-isolated NPP based on the shear deformation of lead rubber bearing (LRB) with respect to the strongly correlated IMs. The results reveal that the probability of damage to the structure is higher for low-frequency earthquakes compared with that of high-frequency ground motions.

Open ground storey (OGS) buildings are characterized by the sudden reduction of stiffness in the ground storey with respect to the upper infilled storeys. During earthquakes, this vertical irregularity may result in accumulated damage in the ground storey members of OGS buildings without much damage in the upper storeys. Hence, the structural design of OGS buildings needs special attention. The present study suggests a modification of existing displacement-based design (DBD) procedure by proposing a new lateral load distribution. The increased demands of ground storey members of OGS buildings are estimated based on non-linear time history analysis results of four sets of bare and OGS frames having four to ten storey heights. The relationship between the increased demand and the relative stiffness of ground storey (with respect to upper storeys) is taken as the criterion for developing the expression for the design lateral load. It is also observed that under far-field earthquakes, there is a decrease in the ground storey drift of OGS frames as the height of the frame increases, whereas there is no such reduction when these frames are subjected to near-field earthquakes.

This study was conducted to examine the community structure of ground beetles between coniferous- and deciduous-dominant forest in agricultural landscapes, in Miryang-si, Yeongdong-gun, Icheon-si, and Cheolwon-gun during April to October in 2009. A total of 19 species belonging to 15 genera of 9 subfamilies were identified from 6,253 collected ground beetles. Dominant species from 4 regions were Synuchus nitidus (3,715 individuals, 59.4% of total) and Synuchus cyloderus (1,783 individuals, 28.5%) respectively. Non-metric multidimensional scaling based on Bray-Curtis similarity showed that ground beetle assemblage was not different between forest stands, but it was significantly different among regions. Overall, forest stands of secondary forests may not show a different community structure of ground beetle assemblages in our study. However, monitoring on the ground beetle fauna as well as other arthropods of secondary forests in agricultural landscapes is still important for the management and conservation of biodiversity, because forests provides important habitats for many predatory arthropods, such as ground beetles, spiders and rove beetles.

A numerical method to simulate Wing-In-Ground(WIG) effects for the wings moving near ground is developed. The aerodynamic analysis scheme for the wings is based on a compressible non-planar lifting surface panel method and the WIG effect is included by images. The thickness-induced effect is implemented into the lifting surface panel method by using the teardrop theory. The numerical simulation is done for the rectangular wings by varying the ground proximity. The present method is validated by comparing the calculated aerodynamic coefficients with other numerical results and measured data, showing good agreements.

A low damage self-centering braced frame equipped with post-tensioning strands is capable of directing damage to replaceable butterfly-shaped fuses. This paper investigates the seismic performance of rocking braced frame under near-field pulse-like ground motions compared to far-field records. A non-linear time history analysis is performed for twelve self-centering archetypes. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to examine the influences of ground motion types and modeling parameters. Findings represent the proper efficiency of the self-centering system under both far-field and near-field pulse-like ground motions.

Non-thermal plasma processing using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has been investigated as an alternative method for the degradation of non-biodegradable organic compounds in wastewater. The active species such as OH radical, produced by the electrical discharge may play an important role in degrading organic compound in water. The degradation of N, N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline (RNO) was investigated as an indicator of the generation of OH radical. The DBD plasma reactor of this study consisted of a plasma reactor, recycling pump, power supply and reservoir. The effect of diameter of external reactor (15 ~ 40 mm), width of ground electrode (2.5 ~ 30 cm), shape (pipe, spring) and material (copper, stainless steel and titanium) of ground electrode, water circulation rate (3.1 ~ 54.8 cm/s), air flow rate (0.5 ~ 3.0 L/min) and ratio of packing material (0 ~ 100 %) were evaluated. The experimental results showed that shape and materials of ground were not influenced the RNO degradation. Optimum diameter of external reactor, water circulation rate and air flow rate for RNO degradation were 30 mm, 25.4 cm/s and 4 L/min, respectively. Ground electrode length to get the maximum RNO degradation was 30 cm, which was same as reactor length. Filling up of glass beads decreased the RNO degradation. Among the experimented parameters, air flow rate was most important parameters which are influenced the decomposition of RNO.

최근 들어 경제적인 지열에너지 활용을 위하여 에너지 파일의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 특히 더 높은 열 교환 효율을 확보하고자 에너지 파일의 경우 통상적인 U자형 또는 W자형과 같은 라인형 지중 열교환기가 아닌 코일형 지중 열교환기를 매입하는 경우가 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매립지 부지에 PHC 코일형 열교환기 형태의 에너지 파일을 설치하고 240시간 동안 현장 열응답 시험(thermal response test)을 실시하였다. 또한 현장에서 지층별로 시료를 채취하여 실내에서 현장 지층 물성으로 시료를 재조성한 후 비정상 탐침법(non-steady state probe method)을 이용하여 지층별 열전도도와 열확산계수를 측정하였고 등가의 열물성으로 환산하였다. 실험 결과 현장 열응답 시험에 의한 지반의 열전도도와 실내 탐침법으로 측정된 지반의 열전도도는 5%내에서 일치하였으며 아울러 지반의 또 하나의 중요한 설계인자인 등가 열확산계수의 측정방법도 제시하였다.
