This study was performed to design and to construct a digital soil cone index(CI) measuring device replacing conventional analog type devices. The device developed in the study consisted of a load cell, a rotary encoder and a motor with a decelerator as its main parts. The cone speed was controlled lower than 3.0 m/s which keeps the standard suggested by the ASABE S313.3 specification. The experiment was conducted in a soil bin system as well as in various fields. The CI data measured by the developed device were compared with those by an existing measurement device(SC900, Spectrum, USA). Based on the experiments at various field conditions, the CI measuring characteristic of the device was quite similar to that of the conventional device within a acceptable $R^2$ range of more than 0.5(mean=0.76). It was concluded that the digital cone index measuring device was an effective and comprehensive sensor for measuring soil strength.

Several soil parameters can be calculated for results of Piezocone test; sensitivity, soil classification, OCR, undrained shear strength, coefficient of consolidation etc., and used to analysis geotechnical problems. Particularly, the coefficient of consolidation which is related to degree of consolidation varies according to rigidity index(I/sub r/). In this study, rigidity index(I/sub r/) was analyzed by Roy's formula. Trixial tests and unconfined compression tests data in the ten sites was analyzed. In conclusion, rigidity index(I/sub r/) was suggested such as rigidity index(I/sub r/) = 15∼60, average rigidity index value(I/sub r/) of approximately 33 within a country.

The purpose of this study is possibility of the heavy rainfall prediction using instability index. The convective instability index using this study is Convective Available Potential Energy(CAPE) concerned the growth energy of the storm, Bulk Richardson Number(BRN) concerned the type and strength of the storm, and Sotrm Relative Helicity(SRH) concerned maintenance of the storm. To verify the instability index, the simulation of heavy rainfall case experiment by Numerical Weather Prediction(NWP) model(MM5) are designed. The results of this study summarized that the heavy rainfall related to the high instability index and the proper combination of one more instability index made the higher heavy rainfall prediction.

This research proposes a novel trading method based on sample entropy for the FTSE China A50 Index. The approach is used to determine the points at which the index should be bought and sold for various holding durations. The findings are then compared to three other trading strategies: buying and holding the index for the entire time period, using the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and using the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) as buying/selling signaling tools. The unique entropy trading method, which used 90-day holding periods and was called StEn(90), produced the highest cumulative return: 25.66 percent. Regular buy and hold, RSI, and MACD were all outperformed by this strategy. In fact, when applied to the same time periods, RSI and MACD had negative returns for the FTSE China A50 Index. Regular purchase and hold yielded a 6% positive return, whereas RSI yielded a 28.56 percent negative return and MACD yielded a 33.33 percent negative return.

토목구조물의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 인자 중 지진에 의한 피해를 들 수가 있다. 최근의 지진 피해 사례를 분석하여 보면 모래와 같은 조립토뿐만 아니라 점성토, 실트 등과 같은 세립토에서도 크고 작은 피해 사례가 보고되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지진에 의한 기초지반의 강도저하를 평가하는 방법을 조사하기 위하여, 반복단순전단시험기를 이용하여 비배수상태에서 조립토 및 세립토에 반복하중을 작용시켜 지반의 강도저하특성을 조사하고 조립토의 경우에는 여유간극비, 세립토의 경우에는 소성지수를 이용하여 간단한 평가방법을 제안하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 액상화강도를 비교 분석하여 보면 조립토에서는 여유간극비의 증가에 따라 감소하고, 세립토의 경우에는 소성지수가 증가함에 따라 커지는 것을 알았다. 특히, 화강풍화토는 Collapse현상이 발생하여 다른 흙보다 현저한 강도 감소 경향이 나타났다. 간이강도저하 평가방법을 통해서 조립토와 세립토 거의 대부분이 양대수곡선상에서 -0.15 ~ -0.2의 범위내의 비슷한 기울기 내에서 분포하였지만, 화강풍화토와 같은 흙은 강도저하 경향이 -0.3으로 다른 흙보다 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 본 강도저하 평가방법은 추가 연구가 필요하지만, 실무에서 간단하게 적용 가능할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 국내 콘크리트교량설계기준에 신뢰도기반 저항계수를 적용하기 위한 기초 연구로, 구조물의 설계강도를 산정하기 위하여 사용하는 저항계수체계에 따른 설계결과와 신뢰도지수를 비교분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 현재 국내에서 적용하는 단면저항계수 및 유럽에서 사용하는 재료저항계수를 적용하여 콘크리트 빔 교량들에 대하여 동일한 설계를 수행한 결과를 비교분석하였다. 콘크리트 구조의 강도를 산정하는데 관련된 재료, 치수 및 해석의 불확실성을 고려하여 설계의 안전율인 신뢰도지수를 산정하고, 신뢰도지수에 큰 영향을 미치는 설계변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 휨강도와 전단강도에 대하여 설계를 수행하였으며, 현행 국내 도로교설계기준, 미국 AASHTO LRFD, 유럽 Eurocode의 저항계수를 적용한 결과 국내 기준의 저항계수에 따른 설계의 신뢰도지수가 가장 컸으며, 활하중의 통계분포 형식에 따라 신뢰도지수에 차이가 있음을 보였다. 콘크리트 보의 휨과 전단에 대한 신뢰도지수에 미치는 영향은 철근의 항복강도와 활하중이 가장 큼을 민감도 분석결과를 통하여 알 수 있었다.

석회암, 사암과 셰일의 퇴적암 코아시료를 대상으로 암석의 비중, 공극률, 함수율 등을 구하고 탄성파 전파 속도와 점재하 강도 지수를 측정하였다. 이들 암석물성 사이의 관계로부터 석회암에 대한 밀도와 탄성파 속도의 관계는 $Vp=4085d^2-20747d+303,{\;}V_s=3899d^2-21442d+318$의 다소 곡선 경향을 나타낸다. 또한 밀도가 높은 셰일의 탄성파 속도가 사암에서보다 작으며 이는 셰일의 층리 영향띠문인 것으로 보인다. 석회암, 사암, 셰일의 P파 속도와 S파 소ㄷ도는 대체로 직선 양상을 보여주며 각 관계식은 석회암에서는 $V_s=0.26V_p+1041.6m/sec,{\;}사암은{\;}V_s=0.43V_p+424.2m/sec$, 셰일에서는 r= 0.86으로 나타났다. 석회암에 대한 점재하 강도 시험에 의하면 점재하 강도 이방성을 시료가 다소 호상구조를 보이더라도 뚜렷하지 않았다. $30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}$내외의 변화를 보이는 층리면 경사각은 직경방향과 축방향의 점재하 지수에 큰 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 생각된다. 점재하 강도 실험결과 점재하강도 지수가 증가하면 P파 속도도 증가하지만 상관관계가 뚜렷하지 않았다.

This paper addresses the behavior and strength of structural walls with a concrete compressive strength exceeding 69 MPa. This information also enhances the current database for improvement of design recommendations. The objectives of this investigation are to study the effect of axial-load ratio on seismic behavior of high-strength concrete flexural walls. An analysis has been carried out in order to assess the contribution of deformation components, i.e., flexural, diagonal shear, and sliding shear on total displacement. The results from the analysis are then utilized to evaluate the prevailing inelastic deformation mode in each of wall. Moment-curvature characteristics, ductility and damage index are quantified and discussed in relation with axial stress levels. Experimental results show that axial-load ratio have a significant effect on the flexural strength, failure mode, deformation characteristics and ductility of high-strength concrete structural walls.

A geo-composite soil (GCS) is a stabilized mixture of bottom ash, cement and dredged soil. Various samples with different mass ratios of mixtures were tested under curing time of 7 and 28 days to investigate physical properties and compressive strength. This paper focused on the effect of bottom ash on the strength characteristics of Busan marine dredged soil. Cement has been added as an additive constituent to enhance self-hardening of the blended mixture. The unconfined compressive strength of GCS increases with an increase in curing time due to pozzolanic reaction of the bottom ash. The strength after 28 days of curing is found to be approximately 1.3 to 2.0 times the strength after 7 days of curing, regardless of mixture conditions. The secant modulus of GCS is in the range of 55 to 134 times the unconfined compressive strength. The correlation of unconfined compressive strength with bottom ash content and initial void ratio are suggested.

Grip strength provides a quick and objective index of the functional integrity of the upper extremities. It is widely used as an assessment measure in physical and rehabilitation medicine. In this study, maximum voluntary grip strength of 20 college students wearing 5 different gloves were measured using Jamar hand dynamometer. The results show that maximum voluntary grip strength was generally reduced when wearing gloves as compared to bare-handed. More specifically, the grip strength was highest when wearing PVC coated glove or bare-handed and getting lowered as wrist band, rubber, leather, and cotton glove in these order. Depending on the measuring posture of grip strength, shoulder height with arm extended forward was higher than the elbow was flexed 90 degree. Moreover, subjects' demographic factors and hand dimensions were not closely related to the grip strength. It is thus recommended that the proper glove should be provided to reduce the negative consequences including dropping a tool, poorer control of a tool. lower quality work, and increased muscle fatigue and in turn to increase the user safety and satisfaction.
