This paper investigates the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete shear wall buildings with multiple underground stories. A base-case where the buildings are modeled with a fixed condition at ground level is adopted, and then the number of basements is incrementally increased to evaluate changes in performance. Two subsurface site conditions, corresponding to very dense sands and medium dense sands, are used for the analysis. In addition, three ground shaking levels are used in the study. Results of the study indicated that while the common design practice of cropping the structure at the ground surface leads to conservative estimation of the base shear for taller and less rigid structures; it results in unpredicted and nonconservative trends for shorter and stiffer structures.

This paper describes the transient phenomena considering transformer model in combined distribution systems with power cables. To evaluate the overvoltage, the change of transformer model and system structure are considered. Transformer parameters calculated by BCTRAN of EMTP are considered to evaluate surge generation in underground distribution systems when underground distribution system has various parameters. It is evaluated that overvoltage value increases and decreases according to the structure of system. However it is confirmed that there is not much effect to overvoltage as transformer is operated in distribution line.

It can be said that rock mass properties are characterized not by a mean value but by values with variation due to its characteristic uncertainty. This characteristic is one of the most important parts for the design of underground structures, but yet to be fully examined. Stochastic finite element method (SFEM) has been developed in order to take the randomness of structural systems into account. Using SFEM, the response variability of structural system can be obtained and it leads probabilistic stability of structure to be analyzed. In this study, displacements response variability of circular opening with hydrostatic stress field are analyzed in terms of rock mass properties having a certain mean and a standard deviation using the SFEM. The analyzed response variability shows that the necessity of probabilistic stability analysis of underground structures using reliable mean value and standard deviation of deformation modulus.

The scope of this cable works was as follows, it was drilled two shafts, NO. 1 shaft (${\phi}6.8m{\times}31m$), NO.2 shaft (${\phi}6.8m{\times}33m$), ) and it was connected two shaft in Tunneling. The first, it was needed to investigate the surey of influenced of vibration and noise by blastig to near by housing structure. 2nd, it was essential to decide the boundary line of influenced for agriculture water and portable water, by draw down of underground water. Blasting works has been done successfully without any problem, but by draw down of underground water, with in 250m level from #1 shaft, agriculture well drilled 8 place and portable water well drilled 7 place for near by farmers.

To clarify chemical constituents of Clematis heracleifolia, isolation and structure elucidation of the underground parts of C. heracleifolia were performed. Five compounds were isolated from $CHCl_3$ and n-BuOH soluble fraction of this plant. On the basis of spectral and physico-chemical data, the structure of isolated compounds were identified as coniferyl alcohol (1), scoparone (2), (+)-lariciresinol (3), phytosterols (4), and daucosterol (5), respectively. All compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time. To evaluate anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of the isolated compounds, compounds 1, 2, 3, and 5 were tested inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase. Among tested compounds, daucosterol (5) showed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ value of $6.1{\mu}M$.

Installing vibration isolation in structures, such as structures adjacent to subways, may be delicatebecause of the proximity with the vibration source or because of the wave propagation path. This paper discusses on method that install isolation Pads on underground walls as a part of the vibration mitigation system, and also on its efficiency, The proposed method is proven to affect significantly the distribution of acceleration in the neighborhood of the structure and to reduce efficiently the maximum amplitude of the vibration. It is also seen that installing isolating pads until the depth of the foundations and deeper is more efficient than installing such device separately from the structure. This Study being limited to the comparison of installation methods, further Studies considering the thickness, stiffness and other parameters should be required.

Tunnelling in urban environments is very common nowadays as large cities are expanding and transportation demands require the use of the underground space for creating extra capacity. Inevitably, any such new construction may have significant effects on existing nearby infrastructure and therefore relevant assessment of structural integrity and soil-structure interaction is required. Foundation piles can be rather sensitive to nearby tunnel construction and therefore their response needs to be evaluated carefully. Although detailed three-dimensional continuum finite element analysis can provide a wealth of information about this behaviour of piles, such analyses are generally very computationally demanding and may require a number of material and other model parameters to be properly calibrated. Therefore, relevant simplified approaches are used to provide a practical way for such an assessment. This paper presents a simple method where the pile is modelled with beam finite elements, pile-soil interaction is modelled with soil springs and tunnelling-induced displacements are introduced as an input boundary condition at the end of the soil springs. The performance of this approach is assessed through some examples of applications.

At a time when the recent earthquake in Pohang, Korea requires the need for seismic performance design not only for concrete structures but also for construction materials used in construction structures, the possibility of applying the seismic performance design of waterproof materials constructed in the form of direct or partial adhesion to concrete structures in the underground Single-side walls section was confirmed.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand for electric equipment installed on the ground to be installed in an underground space. Accordingly, U-CDS (Underground-Compact Distribution Station) installed in the underground is supplied, and to improve its weak ventilation performance, an Airdam-type structure was applied and the effect was analyzed. As a result, the temperature around the transformer was reduced by up to 9.5 degrees, and the air flow increased by up to 1.17 m/s. Airdam structure can be supplied in the form of various sculptures because it is possible to design freely while maintaining its principle.

Monitoring is the act of collecting and analyzing accurate engineering information using various methods and instruments. The purposes of the monitoring are design verification, construction management, quality control, safety management, and diagnose of structure etc.. The diagnose evaluation of the geotechnical structures corresponds to the confirmation of the structural performance. It is aimed to judge the soundness of geotechnical structures considering the degree of damage due to the environmental change and elapsed time. Recently, microseismicity, which is widely known in Korea, can be used for safety management and diagnoses of structure as it detects the micro-damage without disturbance of the structure. This report provides guideline on the procedure for assessing an underground oil storage cavern using microseismic monitoring techniques. Guidelines cover the selection of monitoring systems, sensor array, sensor installation and operation of systems, and interpretation.
