  • Low frequency sound propagation in a range-dependent shallow water environment of the Korea Strait has been studied by using the adiabatic coupled mode, ADIAB. The range-dependent environment is unique in terms of horizontal variations of sound velocity profiles, sediment thickness and attenuation coefficients and water depths. For shallow source and receiver depths, the most important mechanism involved in the propagation loss is the depth changing character of mode functions that strongly depends on the local sound velocity profile. Application of the adiabatic coupled mode theory to shallow water environment is reasonable when higher modes are attenuated due to bottom interaction effects.

  • Structure of thermocline, characteristics of stability and intensity of vertical transfer have been studied with hourly oceanographic data in each layers on Line 207 from 1968 to 1969. It is found that a typical thermocline is formed at depths of 10 to 50 meters in summer and early autumn and its core is located near depths of 25 meters. The maximum diffusion coefficient of vertical turbulent is found to be 140$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec at the surface layer(i.e., 0-10 meters), while the minimum is 5$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec at depths of 25 meters, consistent with characteristics of stability and structure of thermocline layers. Our computed diffusion coefficient and stability indicate that the mixing hardly takes place below depths of 80 meters during summer and early autumn, but for the rest of the season mixing could move up to the depth of 50 meters. It appears that the Western Channel of the Korea Strait consist of three different water masses during summer and autumn, and for the rest of the season, two kinds are present.

  • A thorough literatural review of researches on the experimental prediction of scour depths caused by jets was carried out to find out a measure of scour prediction. A new experimental equation for predicting scour depths due to a vortical or an inclined jet was developed from five hundreds of experimental data which were carefully reviewed and adopted from the previous researches. The developed equation shows 0.941 statistical correlation coefficient. It was found that the parameters governing the scour depth were the size of bed material, flow rate through unit width of spillway, and head drop across structure. The predicted scour depth could be expressed as the deepest scouring depth below tail water surface with correlation coefficient ${\gamma}$ = 0.941.

  • In this paper, we focused on the self-healing concrete using new nano-capsules. Three types of nano-capsules with respect to availability, high strength and temperature tolerance are used; type 1 is URF and polyethylene (PE) as shell and nano titanium oxide (TiO2) as core, type 2 is URF and PE as shell and nano silica oxide (SiO2) as core, type 3 is PE as shell and nano silica oxide (SiO2) as core. The concrete samples mixed by nano-capsules with three percents of 0.5, 1 and 1.5. Based on experimental tests and the compressive strength of samples, the URF-PE-SiO2 is selected for additional tests of compressive strength before and after recovery, ultrasonic test, ion chlorine and water penetration depths. After careful investigation, it is concluded that the optimum value of URF-PE-SiO2 nano-capsules is 0.5% since leads to higher compressive strength, ultrasonic test, ion chlorine and water penetration depths.

  • A potential flow approach is used to develop a method and an associated computer program for floating marine structures of general configuration in wave of all water depths with arbitrary heading. It computes the total force distributions and six degrees-of-freedom motion. The hydrodynamic-force equations and derived become identical under certain assumptions to the equations commonly used by the offshore industry, and the two methods are compared in detail. The computed motions of all six degree agree quite well with model-scale and full-scale experimental data for two typical semisubmersible drilling rigs in finite-depth water. Also the presented motion computations are more accurate than a previous work by the second approach. The present computations use experimentally validated or determined values of frequency-dependent hydrodynamic coefficients with the effects of the free surface and both finite and infinite water depths. The present method generates sufficient computation accuracy to use for practical design applications.

  • Germination characteristics, seedling emergence, and early seedling growth of iron-coated rice seeds, cultivars Daebo and Samdeokbyeo, under different water depths were compared with those of non-coated seeds (control) and the results evaluated to obtain basic information for establishing stable seedlings in direct water seeding. The total germination percentage of the two seed treatments was similar, but iron-coated seeds had slightly faster germination and shorter mean germination time than non-coated seeds. Water absorption rates of iron-coated seeds were lower than that of non-coated seeds during seed germination. The germination percentage of the two iron-coated rice seed cultivars showed a significant decline of 15-22% after one year of storage under natural conditions. The seedling emergence percentage and uniformity of the two rice cultivars were significantly higher in the iron-coated seeds at 1-13 cm water depths but the percentage of floating seedlings was lower in iron-coated seeds than in non-coated seeds. The iron-coated seeds had a high seedling emergence percentage of 91.3-93.3% at all flooding depths whereas the non-coated seeds had a significantly low seedling emergence percentage of 57.7-71.7% at a water depth of 13 cm. Moreover, the shoot dry weight and seedling health score of iron-coated seeds were significantly higher than those of non-coated seeds, while root dry weights were similar in iron-coated and non-coated seeds, regardless of water depth. These results suggest that iron-coated seeds are more appropriate for stable seedling establishment in direct water seeding than are non-coated seeds.

  • In this paper, the fracture characteristics of concrete specimens with different notch depths under three-point flexural loads are studied by finite element and fracture mechanics methods. Firstly, the concrete beams (the size is 700×100×150 mm) with different notch depths (a=30 mm, 45 mm, 60 mm and 75 mm respectively) are tested to study the influence of notch depths on the mechanical properties of concrete. Subsequently, the concrete beams with notch depth of 60 mm are loaded at different loading rates to study the influence of loading rates on the fracture characteristics, and digital image correlation (DIC) is used to monitor the strain nephogram at different loading rates. The test results show that the flexural characteristics of the beams are influenced by notch depths, and the bearing capacity and ductility of the concrete decrease with the increase of notch depths. Moreover, the peak load of concrete beam gradually increases with the increase of loading rate. Then, the fracture energy of the beams is accurately calculated by tail-modeling method and the bilinear softening constitutive model of fracture behavior is determined by using the modified fracture energy. Finally, the bilinear softening constitutive function is embedded into the finite element (FE) model for numerical simulation. Through the comparison of the test results and finite element analysis, the bilinear softening model determined by the tail-modeling method can be used to predict the fracture behavior of concrete beams under different notch depths and loading rates.

  • In this paper, the second order time mean forces acting on the circular cylinder floating on the free surface of a finite water depth are calculated. Under the assumption that fluid is idea and the wave the linear gravity wave, the velocity potential is calculated by the source distribution method, and the second order time mean lateral and vertical drifting forces are calculated by the direct integration of fluid pressures over the immersed body surface. The comparison of the lateral drifting forces with Rhee's results by momentum theorem shows good agreements. And it is shown that the second order time sinkage forces of a floating circular cylinder cross zero for all water depths.
