Modern seismic codes rely on performance-based seismic design methodology which requires that the structures withstand inelastic deformation. Many studies have focused on the inelastic deformation ratio evaluation (ratio between the inelastic and elastic maximum lateral displacement demands) for various inelastic spectra. This paper investigates the inelastic response spectra through the ductility demand ${\mu}$, the yield strength reduction factor $R_y$, and the inelastic deformation ratio. They depend on the vibration period T, the post-to-preyield stiffness ratio ${\alpha}$, the peak ground acceleration (PGA), and the normalized yield strength coefficient ${\eta}$ (ratio of yield strength coefficient divided by the PGA). A new inelastic deformation ratio $C_{\eta}$ is defined; it is related to the capacity curve (pushover curve) through the coefficient (${\eta}$) and the ratio (${\alpha}$) that are used as control parameters. A set of 140 real ground motions is selected. The structures are bilinear inelastic single degree of freedom systems (SDOF). The sensitivity of the resulting inelastic deformation ratio mean values is discussed for different levels of normalized yield strength coefficient. The influence of vibration period T, post-to-preyield stiffness ratio ${\alpha}$, normalized yield strength coefficient ${\eta}$, earthquake magnitude, ruptures distance (i.e., to fault rupture) and site conditions is also investigated. A regression analysis leads to simplified expressions of this inelastic deformation ratio. These simplified equations estimate the inelastic deformation ratio for structures, which is a key parameter for design or evaluation. The results show that, for a given level of normalized yield strength coefficient, these inelastic displacement ratios become non sensitive to none of the rupture distance, the earthquake magnitude or the site class. Furthermore, they show that the post-to-preyield stiffness has a negligible effect on the inelastic deformation ratio if the normalized yield strength coefficient is greater than unity.

The cause of waterhammer phenomenon due to valve closing which is installed on pipeline is clarified in this study. Also if waterhammer phenomenon occurs on simple pipeline, expensive facilities like pressure relief valve is adapted to protect pipeline from waterhammer so far. But this study shows that waterhammer phenomenon can be suppressed by just simple modification of valve control sequence, and this technique is verified by simulation and site experiment.

In this paper, we present a new methodology to analyze the characteristics of artery by using 4 channels photophethysmography. The proposed parameter is a time difference of pulse transit time (PTT) between pulse waves at finger site and at toe site. As the results of experiments, the change of parameter was found according to ages. The result of regression analysis about relationships between the parameter and ages for n=51, the coefficient of correlation of non-normalized data has -0.79770 in left side and -0.80599 in right side and the coefficient of correlation of normalized data by height has -0.81345 in left side and -0.81605 in right side.

In the present study, several groundwater vulnerability assessment methods were applied to an agricultural area of Gumma in Korea. For the groundwater intrinsic vulnerability assessment, the performance of DRASTIC, SINTACS and GOD models was compared and an ensemble approach was suggested. M-DRASTIC and multi-linear regression (MLR) models were applied for the groundwater specific vulnerability assessment to nitrate of the study site. The correlation coefficient between the nitrate concentration and M-DRASTIC index was as low as 0.24. The result of the MLR model showed that the correlation coefficient is 0.62 and the areal extents of livestock farming and upland field are most influential factors for the nitrate contamination of groundwater in the study site.

Well production by a riverbank filtration facility with multi-radial collector well systems in Jeungsan-ri, Changnyeong gun, Korea was evaluated. In this study, the drawdown at collector wells due to pumping and groundwater inflow rates along the horizontal arms of the collector wells were computed through numerical simulations. Sensitivities of the well production to hydraulic conductivity and well flow coefficient, which represents the resistance to the flow from the aquifer to the horizontal arms, were analyzed. Simulation results showed that, with given proposed pumping rate conditions, the drawdown in the caisson exceeded maximum drawdown constraints in the study site and the adjustment of the pumping rate at each well is needed. The drawdown is affected by the hydraulic conductivity of the main aquifer and the well flow coefficient, which means the profound field investigation of the study site is needed to accurately estimate the efficiency of riverbank filtration through radial collector wells.

Air permeabilities in unsaturated fractured tuff at the Apache Leap Research Site (ALRS) near Superior, Arizona, exhibit a self-affine behavior, thus renders a field random fractal. Based up fractal scaling, the observed scale effect has been interpreted [Hyun et al., 2002]. Recently, Frantziskonis and Hansen [2000] presented that fractal scaling can be represented based on wavelets. This study deals with the way of using wavelets for fractal scaling. A numerical study is presented to examine the applicability of wavelet-based approach to determining upscaled air permeability values on various data supports at the site. To characterize the scaling property of self-affine fields generated based upon wavelets, Hurst coefficient, H. was inferred by applying the average wavelet coefficient (AWC) method. The result yielded H = 0.24, which is very close to the result of geostatistical analysis using a power variogram (H = 0.22). The study concludes that wavelet-based scaling is a useful way of determining parameter values on different data supports, which is an essential task for modeling of subsurface flow and mass transport in a numeric grid with different resolutions (grid size).

IBC와 KBC의 지반분류는 ft-kips 단위체계를 기본으로 하고, 지반종류를 단일 지반특성값이 아닌 지반특성값 범위로 규정하여 지반종류에 따른 전단파속도와 지반계수들 간의 불명확한 관계 때문에 지반계수의 선형보간이 쉽지 않다. 또한, KBC의 지반분류에서 각 지반종류에 대한 지반특성값 범위가 너무 넓어서 구조기술자들이 다양한 지반의 실제적인 지반계수를 추정하는데 어려움을 격고 있다. 이 연구에서는 SI 단위체계를 고려한 새로운 지반분류체계를KBC등 차세대 내진설계기준을 위해 제안하였고, 제안된 새로운 지반분류에 따라 지반계수들의 선형보간 가능성을 검토하기 위해 $F_{a},\;F_{v}$, 지반계수들의 비교에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, SI 단위체계와 얕게 묻힌기초 밑 30m 지반의 지반특성을 고려한 새로 제안한 지반분류체계를 이용하는 것이 지반계수의 선형보간을 위해서 보다 합리적이고, 설계스펙트럼 가속도계수의 선형보간도 각 지반을 대표하는 전단파속도에 따라 지반계수를 규정함으로써 보다 합리적으로 수행할 수 있다. 연구결과에 따라 KBC 내진설계기준을 위한 새로운 지반분류체계와 선형보간이 가능한 설계스펙트럼 가속도 계수를 제안하였다.

Objective: It is difficult to predict the treatment response of tissue after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) because radiation necrosis (RN) and tumor recurrence can coexist. Our study aimed to predict tumor recurrence, including the recurrence site, after SRS of brain metastasis by performing a longitudinal tumor habitat analysis. Materials and Methods: Two consecutive multiparametric MRI examinations were performed for 83 adults (mean age, 59.0 years; range, 27-82 years; 44 male and 39 female) with 103 SRS-treated brain metastases. Tumor habitats based on contrast-enhanced T1- and T2-weighted images (structural habitats) and those based on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) images (physiological habitats) were defined using k-means voxel-wise clustering. The reference standard was based on the pathology or Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncologycriteria for brain metastases (RANO-BM). The association between parameters of single-time or longitudinal tumor habitat and the time to recurrence and the site of recurrence were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and Dice similarity coefficient, respectively. Results: The mean interval between the two MRI examinations was 99 days. The longitudinal analysis showed that an increase in the hypovascular cellular habitat (low ADC and low CBV) was associated with the risk of recurrence (hazard ratio [HR], 2.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-4.91; P = 0.001). During the single-time analysis, a solid low-enhancing habitat (low T2 and low contrast-enhanced T1 signal) was associated with the risk of recurrence (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.01-2.35; P = 0.045). A hypovascular cellular habitat was indicative of the future recurrence site (Dice similarity coefficient = 0.423). Conclusion: After SRS of brain metastases, an increased hypovascular cellular habitat observed using a longitudinal MRI analysis was associated with the risk of recurrence (i.e., treatment resistance) and was indicative of recurrence site. A tumor habitat analysis may help guide future treatments for patients with brain metastases.

본 논문에서는 국내 125개 지반에 대한 지층 구성, 전단파속도 주상도, 기반암 깊이 등을 기존 자료의 수집 및 부분 시험 수행을 통해 확보하여 지진응답해석을 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 기반암이 얕아 대부분의 지반조사가 기반암까지 이루어지는 국내 지반조건에 적합하도록 기반암 깊이와 토층 평균 전단파속도를 동시에 고려하는 2-매개변수 지반분류 방법을 새롭게 제안하였다. 우선, 기반암 깊이(H)에 대해 10m와 20m를 경계 값으로 설정하여 $H_1$ 지반(H<10m), $H_2$ 지반($10m{\leq}H<20m$) 그리고 $H_3$ 지반($H{\geq}20m$)으로 분류하고 이후, 토층 평균 전단파속도($V_{s,soil}$)를 추가 변수로 하여 총 7개의 지반그룹으로 세분화 하였다. 또한 각 지반그룹에 대하여, 지진응답해석 결과로부터 획득한 지반 증폭계수의 경향성과 그 분산정도를 분석하여 새로운 지반분류 방법의 타당성을 입증하고, 각 지반그룹별 대표 지반 증폭계수 및 설계응답스펙트럼도 함께 제안하였다. 제안된 지반 증폭계수와 이를 대표하는 추세선은 암반노두 가속도의 변화에 따른 지반의 비선형성을 일정한 경향성과 함께 효율적으로 표현하고 있다. 또한 지진응답해석으로부터 획득한 스펙트럴 가속도의 평균값과 제안된 설계응답스펙트럼을 비교한 결과, 일부 지반그룹에서 차이가 발생하였고, 추후 지반 증폭계수 계산을 위한 적분구간을 국내 지반조건에 적합하도록 개선할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다.
