Load transfer efficiency (LTE) reflects the structural performance of doweled and undoweled joints of Jointed Concrete Pavement (JCP). A 3-dimensional (3-D) model of JCP was built using ABAQUS software in this study. Three concrete slabs were placed on bonded sublayers composed of a base and subgrade. Spring elements were used to connect the adjacent slabs at joints. Different spring constants were input to the model to simulate different joint stiffness of the concrete pavement. The LTE of the joint increased with an increase of the spring constant. The effects of material properties and geometric shape on the behavior of JCP were analyzed using different elastic modulus and thickness of the slab and base in the modeling. The results showed the elastic modulus of the subgrade affected the behavior of the slab and LTE more than that of the base and the thickness of the slab and base. The effects of a negative temperature gradient on the behavior of the slab and LTE were more than that of positive and zero temperature gradients. Joints with low stiffness were more sensitive to the temperature gradient of the slab.

In order to study the reasonable design thermal loads, the steel box girder bridge specimen which have no concrete slab was manufactured with the real size dimension. The temperature data were measured for 5 month at the 18 thermo gauges which were attached according to height. The temperature differences between the top and bottom flange in steel box girder specimen were calculated and the temperature gradient models were proposed by the probabilistic method. This proposed model showed a correlation of approximately 97% when compared with the similar model of Euro Code. Thus, the temperature gradient models which were suggested in this study may be used as the basis data in calculating the design load temperature.

With the increasing demand for office space, there have been questions on how office rent distribution produces a change in the urban spatial structure in Seoul. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a relative price gradient and to present a time-series model that can quantitatively explain the dynamic changes in the urban spatial structure. The analysis was dealt with office rent above 3,306 m² for the past 10 years from 1Q 2010 to 4Q 2019 within Seoul. A modified repeat sales model was employed. The main findings are briefly summarized as follows. First, according to the estimates of the office price gradient in the three major urban centers of Seoul, the CBD remained at a certain level with little change, while those in the GBD and the YBD continued to increase. This result reveals that the urban form of Seoul has shifted from monocentric to polycentric. This shows that the spatial distribution of companies has gradually accelerated decentralized concentration implying that the business networks have become significant. Second, contrary to small and medium-sized office buildings that have undertaken no change in the gradient, large office buildings have seen an increase in the gradient. The relative price gradients in small and medium-sized buildings were inversely proportional among the CBD, the GBD, and the YBD, implying their heterogeneous submarkets by office rent movements. Presumably, those differences in the submarkets were attributed to investment attraction, industrial competition, and the credit and preference of tenants. The findings are consistent with the hierarchical system identified in the Seoul 2030 Plan as well as the literature about Seoul's urban form. This research claims that the proposed method, based on the modified repeat sales model, is useful in understanding temporal dynamic changes. Moreover, the findings can provide implications for urban growth strategies under rapidly changing market conditions.

Conventional methods for collecting origin-destination trips have been mainly relied on the surveys of home or roadside interview. However, the methods tend to be costly, labor intensive and time disruptive to the trip makers, thus the methods are not considered suitable for Planning applications such as routing guidance, arterial management and information Provision, as the parts of deployments in Intelligent Transport Systems Motivated by the problems, more economic ways to estimate origin-destination trip tables have been studied since the late 1970s. Some of them, which have been estimating O-D table from link traffic counts are generally Entropy maximizing, Maximum likelihood, Generalized least squares(GLS), and Bayesian inference estimation etc. In the Paper, with user equilibrium constraint we formulate GLS problem for estimating O-D trips and develop a solution a1gorithm by using Genetic Algorithm, which has been known as a g1oba1 searching technique. For the purpose of evaluating the method, we apply it to Seoul inner ringroad and compare it with gradient method proposed by Spiess(1990). From the resu1ts we fond that the method developed in the Paper is superior to other.

충주댐 및 소양강댐 유역에 대해 현재 한국수자원공사에서 개발 사용되고 있는 저류함수 유출모형에 최적화 기법을 적용하여 모형을 효율적으로 자동보정 하기위함이 본 연구의 목적이다. 최적화 기법으로는 다양한 조건하에서도 해의 안정성이 Gradient-Based 방법보다 우수한 직접 탐색법(Direct Search Method)의 하나인 Pattern-Search법으로 선정하였으며 목적함수로는 산정된 유출과 관측치의 편차의 제곱에 대한 누계치로 정의하였다. 합성유입량(Synthetic Inflow)을 이용한 민감도 분석에 의해 매개변수 5개(유역 저류상수 및 지체시간, 포화우량, 하도의 지체시간)를 결정변수로 선정하였다. 또한 실시간 모형의 보정을 위하여 최적화 모형의 수렴조건을 분석한 결과 P-S 법의 증분 감소횟수 2회가 합리적으로 나타났다. 본 모형을 충주댐 및 소양강댐의 과거 홍수사상에 대해 적용하였으며 댐지점에서 전체유역을 일괄 보정하는 방법과 댐 상류 수위국을 기준으로 나눈 중유역별로 일괄 보정하는 방법을 채택하여 분석하였다. 실시간 보정된 모형의 예측기능을 시험한 결과 상당한 오차발생의 여지가 충분하며 중유역별 매개변수의 보정은 대유역 일괄보정에 비해 예측에 따른 오차를 줄일 수 있는 방법의 하나이다. 또한 최적화 기법에 의한 매개변수의 자동 보정은 시행착오에 의한 수동보정의 경우보다 시간 및 노력면에서 효율적이며 보다 신뢰성 있는 보정을 실시 할 수 있다.

The present paper studies the effect of the slope gradient of a fully permeable submerged breakwater using a newly developed numerical model that is able to consider the flow through a porous midium with inertial, laminar and turbulent resistance terms, i.e. simulate directly WAve-Structure (submerged breakwater)-Sand seabed interaction and can determine the eddy viscosity with LES turbulence model in 2-Dimensional wave field (LES-WASS-2D). The developed model was validated through the comparison with an existing experimental data, and further used for various numerical experiments in oder to investigate the complicated hydrodynamics on the varying slope gradient of permeable submerged breakwater. We found an acceptable phenomenon, as we expect intuitively, that reflection and transmission coefficients decrease simultaneously as slope gradient decrease. In addition, the breaking point, the circulation flow and mean vorticity around a submerged breakwater are throughly discussed.

This work is to extend the elliptic operator, which has been already adopted in turbulent stress model, to fully developed turbulent buoyant channel flows with changing the orientation of the buoyancy vector to be perpendicular to the channel walls. The turbulent heat flux models based on the elliptic concept are employed and closely linked to the elliptic blending second moment closure which is used for the prediction of Reynolds stresses. In order to reflect the stable or unstable stratification conditions, the present model introduces the gradient Richardson number into the thermal to mechanical time scale ratio and model coefficients. The present model has been applied for the computation of stably and unstably stratified turbulent channel flows and the prediction results are directly compared to the DNS data.

천수방정식에 대한 불연속 갤러킨 기법 (DG) 모형은 주로 양해법 기반으로 개발되어 적용되어 왔으나, 바닥마찰항의 처리, 과도한 CFL 조건 등의 불리한 점이 지적되어 왔으며, 이로 인하여 실제 적용에서 FDM, FEM 등 다른 고전적인 수치기법과 비교하여 경쟁력을 갖기 어려웠다. 이에 대한 대안으로써, 최근, 불연속 갤러킨 기법에 대한 음해법 기반의 모형이 연구되고 있으며, 다소 복잡한 알고리즘에도 불구하고 적용이 확대되고 있다. 또한, 널리 알려진 바와 같이, 천수방정식의 실제 하도에 대한 적용에 있어 문제점 중 하나는 나비에-스토크스 방정식으로부터 유도할 때 사용된 정수압 가정으로 인하여, 하도의 계단과 같은 불연속 지형에 적용이 용이하지 않다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 불연속 갤러킨 음해법에 불연속 지형의 해석을 위한 표면경사법(surface gradient method)을 결합하여 이러한 문제에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 개발된 모형의 검증을 위하여, 제방 등 하도 구조물 위의 장주기 조석흐름, 홍수파, 계단 등을 포함하는 댐 붕괴류 모의에 적용하고 실용적인 기능성을 검증하였다. 향후 구조물이 많은 국내 하천에 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 1일부터 최대 7일까지의 시간을 두고 남한 전체의 유출량에 대한 예측 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 LSM (Land Surface Model) 모형을 사용하여 유출량을 모의하였고 이 과정에서 미 계측치에 대한 유출량을 예측하기 위하여 Xgboost (Extreme Gradient Boost)를 활용하여 매개변수를 지역화하였다. 이러한 지역화 기법을 통하여 남한 전체의 유출량에 대한 그리드화 된 유출값을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 기상 예측자료를 유출량에 대한 예측으로 변환하기 위하여 Stacking 앙상블 기반의 수문학적 후처리 기법을 사용하였다. Stacking 앙상블 기법은 Base-learner와 Meta-learner의 조합으로 이루어 지는데 본 연구에서 새롭게 사용되는 패널티 기반의 분위회귀분석 방법론은 기존의 방법론과의 비교에 있어서 유용한 것으로 파악되었다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 총 7일의 앞선 시간의 예측에 있어서 한반도 전체의 유출량에서 비교적 짧은 시간에 대한 예측인 1일과 2일에서의 예측은 실질적으로 사용이 가능한 것으로 파악되었다.

To evaluate the characteristics of permeability in weathered residual soil, flexible wall permeameter tests are performed using undisturbed samples. The Influence of hydraulic gradient and confining pressure on the permeability of weathered residual soil is analyzed. To compare the characteristics of permeability between weathered soil and sand, similar tests are performed using Jumoonjin sand. Also, piping model tests are performed to investigate the piping resistance of weathered residual soil. As a result, weathered residual soil shows very dependable permeability on hydraulic gradient and very large resisting ability against piping compared with sand.
