Purpose: During tillage operations, the selection of a working machine (tool) depends on the soil conditions as well as the type of tillage operation to be performed. The goal of this research was to ascertain the effects of varying working machine parameters of a compact disc harrow on tillage operations under various soil moisture content (SMC) conditions. Methods: The working machine parameters were the disc spacing and machine speed. The tillage parameters under investigation were the soil inversion ratio (SIR), tillage cutting depth (TCD), and soil clod breakage ratio (SCB). To determine the SIR, the areas of the white regions before and after tillage were obtained. The ratio of the difference of the areas of the white regions before and after tillage to the area of the white regions before tillage was considered as the SIR. The SCB was obtained as the ratio of the weight of soil clods after sieving with a mesh size of <0.02 m to the total weight of the soil clods before sieving. The soil TCD was measured using a tape measure at random points after the tillage operation. The resulting data were statistically analyzed in a one-way analysis of variance. Results: The highest soil inversion was achieved when the machine speed was 0.2 m/s with the disc spaced at 0.2 m in the 16.5% SMC. At a 0.4-m/s machine speed and 0.3-m disc spacing the highest soil breakage was achieved in the 26.5% SMC. The highest TCD was achieved at a 0.2-m/s machine speed and 0.2-m disc spacing in the 16.5% SMC. Conclusions: It was concluded that varying the working machine parameters, such as the disc spacing and machine speed, could significantly affect the soil inversion and soil clod breakage; however, it had no significant impact on the TCD.

Shear wall is commonly used as a lateral force resisting system of concrete mid-rise and high-rise buildings, but it brings challenges in providing relatively large space throughout the building height. For this reason, the structure system where the upper structure with bearing, non-bearing and/or shear walls that sits on top of a transfer plate system supported by widely spaced columns at the lower stories is preferred in some regions, particularly in low to moderate seismic regions in Asia. A thick reinforced concrete (RC) plate has often been used as a transfer system, along with RC transfer girders; however, the RC plate becomes very thick for tall buildings. Applying the post-tensioning (PT) technique to RC plates can effectively reduce the thickness and reinforcement as an economical design method. Currently, a simplified model is used for numerical modeling of PT transfer plate, which does not consider the interaction of the plate and the upper structure. To observe the actual behavior of PT transfer plate under seismic loads, it is necessary to model whole parts of the structure and tendons to precisely include the interaction and the secondary effect of PT tendons in the results. This research evaluated the seismic behavior of shear wall-type residential buildings with PT transfer plates for the condition that PT tendons are included or excluded in the modeling. Three-dimensional finite element models were developed, which includes prestressing tendon elements, and response spectrum analyses were carried out to evaluate seismic forces. Two buildings with flat-shape and L-shape plans were considered, and design forces of shear walls and transfer columns for a system with and without PT tendons were compared. The results showed that, in some cases, excluding PT tendons from the model leads to an unrealistic estimation of the demands for shear walls sit on transfer plate and transfer columns due to excluding the secondary effect of PT tendons. Based on the results, generally, the secondary effect reduces shear force demand and axial-flexural demands of transfer columns but increases the shear force demand of shear walls. The results of this study suggested that, in addition to the effect of PT on the resistance of transfer plate, it is necessary to include PT tendons in the modeling to consider its effect on force demand.

고려시대의 사경은 어느 시기보다도 정교하고 화려한 기록물로 우리나라 서지학상 매우 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 그 가운데에서도 감지(紺紙) 바탕에 제작된 사경은 장식성과 귀족들이 선호하였을 법한 품위와 격을 여지없이 보여주는 예라고 할 수 있다. 특히 이 시기에 제작된 많은 양의 사경들은 감지에 권자본(卷子本)과 절첩본(折貼本)의 장황 형태가 대표적인 것이다. 권자본은 유연성이 보장되지 않으면 그 자체가 갖는 구조적 한계 때문에 취급에 있어 불편함과 손상을 야기한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 절첩 형태로 바꿔 제작함으로써 편의성과 구조적인 안정성을 꾀하여 단점을 극복할 수 있게 되었다. 절첩 형태는 병풍의 형태와 유사하여 접었다 펼 수 있는 구조로 한 면의 크기에 맞추어 규칙적으로 연결되어 만들어진 것이다. 아무리 작은 크기라 하더라도 얇은 한지로 제작하면 취급에 어려움이 따르고, 형태를 유지하기 힘든 구조라고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 통상 절첩형의 사경은 두꺼운 종이로 만들어 첩의 구조를 지탱할 수 있는 힘을 가지도록 하였으며, 표지는 내지보다 더 두껍게 제작되어 내지를 보호할 수 있도록 하였다. 즉, '절첩형'은 종이에 두께를 주어 강도를 유지해야 하는 특성에 맞게 제작되는 것이 일반적이다. 그렇기 때문에 많은 양의 한지를 진하게 염색 가공하는 것은 오롯이 장인의 몫이 될 수밖에 없었다. 비단에 비해 흡수량이 몇 배 이상이고, 수십 차례 염색을 하여야만 진한 감색을 얻을 수 있는 '감지 제작 기법'은 구체적으로 문헌에 남아 있지 않고, 기법도 명맥이 끊긴 지 오래이다. 최근 한지장인과 천연염색가, 수리복원가에 의해 제각기 시도는 되고 있으나 유물에서 보이는 질감과 깊은 색감은 도저히 흉내낼 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 고려 말 사경을 보존 처리하기 위해 실제 유물에 적합한 보강지를 제작하는 과정에서 염색장과 한지장, 그리고 수리복원가의 협업으로 고려시대 감지를 재현하는 일련의 과정을 소개하고, 감지의 재현·제작 방법을 유추해보고자 한다.
