The strength and durability of concrete are affected by various factors such as the quality of material, mixing ratio, construction, the method of cure, time elapsed. the condition of test and etc., it is very difficult to pre-estimate the strength of concrete with the use of experimental specimen. The domestic standard of specimen cylindrical type and its sizes are both l0cm$\times$20cm and 15cm$\times$30cm, which are prescribed in KS F2405, and the loading speed is prescribed to test with 2~3kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ per second. The loading speed should have great effect on the compressive strength, but in reality in the construction site sometimes the loading speed is applied so dubiously that the value of the compressive strength can be unreliable. And the cross sectional area of a specimen should be level and smooth, otherwise it can be broken at a lower stress than the real strength through the eccentric or intensive working of the load. Capping should be carried out in order to measure the strength correctly. And used for capping are various materials such as capping compound, cement glue, plaster, mechanical grinding and etc. In this study, therefore, I have carried out an experiment on the relationship among the loading speed, the ratio of height to diameter of specimen, the method of capping, and the compressive strength, for the efficient quality control of concrete structures. So this study has been purposed to provide some basic data that can be used effectively at construction sites.

Nowadays, various water quality prediction models have been studied, then these models can support the method which evaluate the effect of various alternative water quality management by simulation without experimentation. But, It is necessary to create complex input data file for applying these water quality model and even though the appropriate result is extracted, it is impossible to use as decision making data effectively because of the limitation of expression of model itself. As this study is about the stream water quality modeling, for overcoming the model's above limitation, by developing an interface which can calculate the pollutant load of watershed, I could create a input data file and visualize the simulation result so that I was going to integrate water quality model and GSIS using Flexible coupling applied to GSIS in the pre-process and post-process on model. The QUAL2E model, used in this study, is verified by stream water quality model in previous various results of study and has many examples through previous study, because that is appropriate to water quality model, especially in Korea, and comparatively accurate and their usage is quite simple.

As the mechanism and effect range of subsidence are altered according to the various conditions (the ground condition, the earth pressure, the geometric condition of underground cavity and the structure load), the analysis and prediction of subsidence in abandoned mining area are very difficult. Also, as the geological characteristics and the mining methods are differed in each mines, the application of the pre-existing reinforcements without improvement has a lot of difficulties and limits. In this study, the various underground investigation such as long-depth core drilling, seismic tomography and BIPS (borehole image processing system) were performed, the distribution of underground cavity and coal seam and rock relaxation condition were analyzed. And we predicted the type of subsidence and estimated the subsidence by theories of mining subsidence. With these results, we analyzed the mechanism of subsidence occurrence in the research object area. Finally, we improved existing methods which were applied to the abandoned mining area and also we established the rational reinforcement for the ground and structure foundation against each subsidence cause.

A steel modular unit structural system has been used increasingly for mid and high-rise buildings, since the building can be easily constructed by assembling the pre-made modular unit structures. For this structural system, each modular unit structures have to be properly connected to the foundation to transfer the axial force and the bending moment that are generated from external load to the ground. In this study, a new type of the embedded steel column-to-foundation connection was proposed, and its flexural behavior was evaluated through a series of experimental study. Five full scale specimens for the proposed connections were constructed and tested. The effect of the main parameters that affect the flexural behavior of the proposed connection, such as embedment length and shape of end plate, were studied. From the results, it was found that the flexural stiffness of the proposed connection was higher than that of the semi-rigid connection for all test specimens, and 200 mm of embedment length was proper for the given test specimens in this study.

Stabilization and reduction of combustion noise and NOx emission from dry low NOx combustor of GE MS7001F gas turbine were achieved. Dry low NOx gas turbines that adopt the lean premixed combustion technology frequently generate the flame instability and high NOx emissions if not adequately tuned. Dynamic pressure oscillation during the combustion mode transfer increased as ambient temperature decreased with frequency of 80㎐ and magnitude of 4-9 psi. Effects of both combustor tuning for uniform fuel flow with burner nozzles and fuel pre-filling into transfer fuel valves on stabilisation of the dry low NOx combustor were very significant. Dynamic pressure oscillation during the combustion mode change was decreased up to 2.5 psi. Also, NOx emission from GE7F DLN-1 combustor can be maintained as low as 35-43ppm (15% O$_2$) in base load operation of 150 MW.

The replicas in the Grid database is utilized for a lot of application services. And for deferent services or for deferent information depends on location, the access frequency of each replica is dissimilar. When one replica is stored in many nodes, each replicas applies the week-consistency in the grid computing environment. Especially, when a node work load or operation capacity is varied from others, the replica management would cost expansive. Therefore, this paper proposed the Update Method based on Dynamic Access-Frequency Tree. The dynamic access-frequency tree is pre-constructed by grouping nodes based on each nodes access frequency to manage the replica efficiently and avoid unbalance replica tree. The performance evaluation shows the proposed methods support more quick update than current methods.

In spatial databases, R-tree is one of the most widely used indexing structures and many variants have been proposed for its performance improvement. Among these variants, Hilbert R-tree is a representative method using Hilbert curve to process large amounts of data without high cost split techniques to construct the R-tree. This Hilbert R-tree, however, is hardly applicable to large-scale applications in practice mainly due to high pre-processing costs and slow bulk-load time. To overcome the limitations of Hilbert R-tree, we propose a novel approach for parallelizing Hilbert mapping and thus accelerating bulk-loading of Hilbert R-tree on GPU memory. Hilbert R-tree based on GPU improves bulk-loading performance by applying the inversed-cell method and exploiting parallelism for packing the R-tree structure. Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme is up to 45 times faster compared to the traditional CPU-based bulk-loading schemes.

A message processor is server software that receives various message formats from clients, creates the corresponding threads to process them, and lastly delivers the results to the destination. Considering that each function of an SEDA-based message processor has its own characteristics such as CPU-bound or IO-bound, this paper proposes a thread-mapping strategy called "FC-TM" (function-characteristic aware thread mapping) that schedules the threads to the cores based on the function characteristics in multi-core environments. This paper assumes that message-processor functions are static in the sense that they are pre-defined when the message processor is built; therefore, we profile each function in advance and map each thread to a core using the information in order to maximize the throughput. The benchmarking results show that the throughput increased by up to a maximum of 72 % compared with the previous studies when the ratio of the IO-bound functions to the CPU-bound functions exceeds a certain percentage.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of high quality CPR using the 4 types of rescue device equipment and chest compressions energy measurement in pre-hospital settings. So, we used the mode to insert load cell in ALS Skill master Manikin to develop CFMM(Compression Force Measurement Manikin) on main stretcher, CPR board, long spine board, scoop stretcher and floor. And, our research team could know that the main stretcher needed average force of 32.55 (${\pm}1.01$) kg, CPR board of 27.23 (${\pm}1.08$) kg, long spine board of 27.13 (${\pm}1.18$) kg, Scoop Stretcher of 27.38 (${\pm}1.05$) kg and Floor of 27.24 (${\pm}0.93$) kg. CPR board must be necessary in the case of CPR on main stretcher in a moving ambulance. But if the condition of patient's back surface is the removable stretcher and the long spine plate, the patient doesn't have to be spent time to use a CPR board. Furthermore, this research suggests to consider that how to take advantage of the education to students for the equipment to check in real time the energy(kg) requirement of chest compressions.

This research focused on development and application feasibility for the coalesced continuous block system in river bank protection. Most of block systems in river bank are pre cast type and have some difficulties against high velocity flood condition or high pressure load, however, the continuous block system can be applied to flood damage recover as well as environmental vegetation block system in river bank. For the application review and analysis of hydraulic condition for this block system, hydraulic physical modeling was carried out. The physical model was built as a scale of 1:50 by Froude similitude measuring the water levels and the water velocities for vegetation application or not. In consequence, the water velocities were observed to decrease meanly 10.1%, and the water depths were to increase meanly 17.8% in case of the of design flood, $Q=200m^3/sec$. To verify the hydraulic physical modeling, the numerical modeling should be conducted for a close examination of vegetation application by one or two dimensional numerical analysis as a next study.
