본 논문은 모노파일 풍력 지지구조물에 대한 공진 안전성 평가에서 여러 말뚝-구조물 상호작용(PSI) 모델을 사용하여 고유진동수를 비교하였다. PSI 재현을 위한 유한요소모델은 기저 스프링 모델, 분산 스프링 모델, 3차원 고체-쉘 모델을 사용하였다. PSI 모델이 고유주파수에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 기저 스프링과 분산 스프링 모델 적용을 위한 강성행렬 산정법과 Winkler 보 모델을 각각 논문에 나타내고 이들 모델로부터 도출된 서로 다른 기하 및 지반조건을 갖는 모노파일의 고유진동수를 조사하였다. 해석결과는 또한 3차원 고체-쉘 모델의 고유진동수와도 비교되었다. 해석결과는 소구경 모노파일이 견고한 지반 및 암반에 관입된 경우 각 해석모델로부터 얻어진 고유진동수의 차이가 거의 없음을 보여준다. 반면 연약 지반에 설치된 대구경 모노파일에 대해 분산스프링 모델은 고유진동수를 과대평가할 수 있다. 따라서 고유진동수 평가 시 구조물 규모와 지반 조건을 고려해 적합한 PSI모델이 적용되어야 한다.

Soil respiration ($R_S$) is a critical component of the annual carbon balance of forests, but few studies thus far have attempted to evaluate empirical regression models in $R_S$. The principal objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationship between $R_S$ rates and soil temperature (ST) and soil water content (SWC) in soil from a cool-temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest, and to evaluate empirical regression models for the prediction of $R_S$ using ST and SWC. We have been measuring $R_S$, using an open-flow gas-exchange system with an infrared gas analyzer during the snowfree season from 1999 to 2001 at the Takayama Forest, Japan. To evaluate the empirical regression models used for the prediction of $R_S$, we compared a simple exponential regression (flux = $ae^{bt}$Eq. [1]) and two polynomial multiple-regression models (flux = $ae^{bt}{\times}({\theta}{\nu}-c){\times}(d-{\theta}{\nu})^f:$ Eq. [2] and flux = $ae^{bt}{\times}(1-(1-({\theta}{\nu}/c))^2)$: Eq. [3]) that included two variables (ST: t and SWC: ${\theta}{\nu}$) and that utilized hourly data for $R_S$. In general, daily mean $R_S$ rates were positively well-correlated with ST, but no significant correlations were observed with any significant frequency between the ST and $R_S$ rates on periods of a day based on the hourly $R_S$ data. Eq. (2) has many more site-specific parameters than Eq. (3) and resulted in some significant underestimation. The empirical regression, Eq. (3) was best explained by temporal variations, as it provided a more unbiased fit to the data compared to Eq. (2). The Eq. (3) (ST $\times$ SWC function) also increased the predictive ability as compared to Eq. (1) (only ST exponential function), increasing the $R^2$ from 0.71 to 0.78.

Empirical erosion models like Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) models have been widely used to make spatially distributed soil erosion vulnerability maps. Even if the models detect vulnerable sites relatively well utilizing big data related to climate, geography, geology, land use, etc within study domains, they do not adequately describe the physical process of soil erosion on the ground surface caused by rainfall or overland flow. In other words, such models are still powerful tools to distinguish the erosion-prone areas at large scale, but physics-based models are necessary to better analyze soil erosion and deposition as well as the eroded particle transport. In this study a physics-based soil erosion modeling system was developed to produce both runoff and sediment yield time series at watershed scale and reflect them in the erosion and deposition maps. The developed modeling system consists of 3 sub-systems: rainfall pre-processor, geography pre-processor, and main modeling processor. For modeling system validation, we applied the system for various erosion cases, in particular, rainfall-runoff-sediment yield simulation and estimation of probable maximum sediment (PMS) correlated with probable maximum rainfall (PMP). The system provided acceptable performances of both applications.

The shear strength of unsaturated soils, a research hotspot in geotechnical engineering, has great guiding significance for geotechnical engineering design. Although kinds of calculation models for the shear strength of unsaturated soil have been put forward by predecessors, there is still need for new models to extensively consider the nonlinear variation of shear strength, particularly for the nonlinear effect of the net normal stress on the shear strength of unsaturated soil. Here, the shear strength of unsaturated soils is explored to study the nonlinear effects of net normal stress with the introduction of a general nonlinear Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) strength criterion, and the relationship between the matric suction (or suction stress) and degree of saturation (DOS) constructed by the soil-water characteristics curve (SWCC) of van Genuchten is also applied for unsaturated soil. Then, two calculation models (i.e., an envelope shell model and an effective stress model) are established for the shear strength of unsaturated soils under the nonlinear strength theory. In these two models, the curve of the shear strength of unsaturated soils versus the net normal stress exhibits a tendency to gently. Moreover, the proposed formulas have flexibility and convenience with five parameters (for the effective stress model) or six parameters (for the envelope shell model), which are from the M-C strength parameters of the saturated soil and fitting parameters of SWCC of van Genuchten. Thereafter, by comparison with the classical theory of the shear strength of unsaturated soils from some actual cases, the rationality and accuracy of the present models were verified.

The functionally graded beam (FGB) is investigated in this study on both dynamic and static loading in case of resting on a soil medium rather than on the usual Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation. The powerful ABAQUS software was used to model the problem applying finite element method. In the present study, two different soil models are taken into account. In the first model, the soil is assumed to be an elastic plane stress medium. In the second soil model, the Drucker-Prager yield criterion, which is one of the most well-known elastic-perfectly plastic constitutive models, is used for modelling the soil medium. The results are shown to evaluate the effects of the different soil models, stiffness values of the elastic soil medium on the normal and shear stress and free vibration properties. A comparison was made to those from the existing literature. Numerical results show that considering real soil as a continuum space affects the results of the bending and the modal properties significantly.

산불 사면의 토양침식에 대하여 세 개의 토양침식 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 영동지역에서 발생한 2000년 대규모 산불지역 조사구에서 조사된 자료가 분석에 사용되었다. 본 연구에서 채택한 토양침식 모형은 경험적 모형인 RUSLE, 물리적 모형인 WEPP의 산림지역 적용 모드, 산불사면을 대상으로 개발된 SEMMA이다. 이들 모형으로 산정한 지표유출량과 토양 침식량을 관측치와 비교하였다. 적용결과 모든 모형들은 토사유출량의 최대치를 저평가 하였으며, RUSLE와 WEPP은 2배 이상의 차이를 보였다. SEMMA는 가장 좋은 모형반응계수, 결정계수, 모의효율을 나타내었다. 산불발생 경과연수에 따른 모형 적용 평가에서 산불에 의해 교란된 초기 단계에서는 모든 모형이 저평가하였다. 산불 사면에 대한 토양침식 모의 결과는 관측치가 크면 과소 예측하는 경향을 보였다. 산불직후 반발수력이 커진 고은입자 토양의 과대 노출로 작은 규모의 강우에도 많은 양의 토사유출이 발생할 수 있음에도 불구하고 이와 같이 과소 예측하는 것은 이들 모형이 산불의 영향으로 가중되는 토양침식 영향인자를 반영하는데 한계를 갖고 있기 때문으로 보인다.

Soil nailing technique is being widely used for stabilization of vertical cuts because of its economic, environment friendly and speedy construction. Global stability and lateral displacement are the two important stability criteria for the soil nail walls. The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate soil nail wall stability criteria under the influence of in-situ soil variability. Finite element based numerical experiments are performed in accordance with the methodology of $2^3$ factorial design of experiments. Based on the analysis of the observations from numerical experiments, two regression models are developed, and used for reliability analyses of global stability and lateral displacement of the soil nail wall. A 10 m high prototype soil nail wall is considered for better understanding and to highlight the practical implications of the present study. Based on the study, lateral displacements beyond 0.10% of vertical wall height and variability of in-situ soil parameters are found to be critical from the stability criteria considerations of the soil nail wall.

The analytical method is used to develop new models for an elevated tank to estimate its natural period. The equivalent mass- spring method is used to configure the developed analytical models. Also direct method is used for numerical verification. The current study shows that developed models can have a good estimation of natural period compared with concluded results of finite elements. Additional results show that, the dependency of impulsive period to soil stiffness condition is higher than convective period. Furthermore results show that considering the fluid- structure- soil interaction has remarkable effects on natural impulsive and convective periods in case of hard to very soft soil.

본 논문은 풀이 없는 지표면에서의 후방 산란 계수(backscattering coefficients)를 측정하고, 이 측정 결과를 이용하여 여러 표면 산란 모델들과 inversion 알고리즘의 성능을 비교, 분석하였다. 우선, R-밴드 주파수($1.7{\sim}2.0GHz$)에서 완전 편파 scatterometer를 이용하여 풀 층이 없는 지표면에 대해서 편파별로 후방 산란 계수를 측정하고, 동시에 수분 함유량과 표면 거칠기를 측정하였다. 그런 다음 측정된 지표면 변수들을 표면 산란 모델들에 입력하여 후방 산란 계수를 계산하고, 이 계산 결과를 측정 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 또한, inversion 알고리즘들을 적용하여 측정된 편파별 후방 산란 계수로부터 수분 함유량을 추출하고, 이 추출된 수분 함유량이 현장에서 측정한 수분 함유량과 잘 맞는지 여부를 확인하였다. 표면 산란 모델들 중에서 정확도가 높은 모델들을 제시하였으며, inversion 모델들의 계산 결과도 나타내었다.

This study examines two traditional approaches (non-linear elastic and elasto-plastic) in association with 2D and 3D FEM analyses of a box-section pile embedded in sand. A particular emphasis is placed on stress singularities concerning both reentrant corners of the pile section and the resulting tension zones. From the experience gained in this study, non-linear elastic soil models are less restrictive when one considers stress singularities and their possible effects on convergence of the solution. At least for monotonic loading, when compared with field tests, non-linear elastic models yield better results than the plasticity ones. On the other hand, although elasto-plastic models are not limited to monotonic loading, they are much more sensitive to stress singularities. For this reason, a spherical elastic region is necessary at the pile tip to ensure convergence. Without this region, one must artificially impose an apparent cohesion to limit the tension stresses within a sand medium.
