There are two major types of underwater blasting at Korea, bridges and harbor construction work. Pier blasting for lay the foundation bridges construction is used dry excavation working (drilling and charging) after pump out water and then fire pump in water that is same as bench blasting. In contrast, underwater blasting for harbor construction and increase of harbor load depth is used to barge with digging equipment that is in oder to drilling on the surface and blasting work(charge, hook-up) under water. Thus, there are need to special concern such as charge method and hook-up method different from tunnel blasting work and bench blasting work. If do not use special concern breaks out dead pressure and mis fire because of there are so many difficult condition such as water pressure, obstruct field of vision. In this study underwater blasting at Busan Harbor Construction have consider with special concern that is plastic pipe charge method used to MegaMITE I and specialized buoy hook- up method make far initial system detonate on the surface used to TLD. The results is designed blast pattern charge per delay effect an inspection of verify between predict velocity and measure velocity. minimized break out mis fire consideration charge method, hook up method. According to result best underwater blasting design is 105mm drilling dia, MeGAMITE II, HiNLL Plus(non electric detonator).

As the quantity of transported goods increases, there is a lot of mechanical trouble with loading facilities. So it tremendously produces not only economic loss but also time loss. To reduce the loss from the trouble of leading facilities, it is necessary to analyse the distribution of the problem's occurrence and use the analyzed data to minimize the outbreak of trouble. So the data can be usefully used when designing or manufacturing and it also can be utilized for proper maintenance of operating equipment, frequency of inspection and repair, know-how of checking on equipment and purchasing of spare parts. And it is possible to minimize the loss if the propel maintenance is adapted

Recently dredged material generation has a tendency to increase since harbor construction are under progress. In this study, an experiment had been carried out which replacement of dredged material of Busan and Ulsan port as concrete mixing material. For this experiment, physical and chemical test of dredged material was carried out, and compressive strength test of mortal specimen with dredged material in scale, as aggregate replacement, was carried out. Compressive strength of Busan and Ulsan was both increased when the ratio of mixing materials was 10%. Compressive strength of Dredged material from Busan with about 70% of mineral silt showed increse when the ratio of aggregate replacement in 30%. In addition, in the result of the ICP test, both dredged materials satisfied the waste's marine discharge treatment and soil contamination concern and measures criterion on that using dredged material as a concrete material can influence on application of concrete positively.

As the earth's current global warming has caused elevation of sea water temperature, size of storms is foreseen to increase and consequently large damages on port facilities are to be expected. In addition, due to the improved processing efficiency of port cargo volume and increasing necessity for construction of eco-friendly port, demands for various forms of port facilities are anticipated. In this study, two kinds of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques (rebound hardness and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods) are investigated for the effective maintenance of smart green harbor system. A new methodology to estimate the underwater concrete strengths is proposed and its feasibility is verified throughout a series of experimental works.

In general, the values of shear strength properties of rubble stones have been given quoting from Japanese empirical recommendation when breakwater and offshore structures of port and harbor facilities were designed in Korea. but by large-scale triaxial test(specimen diameter 30cm, specimen height 60cm) carried out in Korean Water Resources Corporation in 2001, for the first time in korea, shear strength properties of rubble stones are evaluated directly. These are compared with the Japanese empirical recommendation. Therefore, the value of shear strength properties of rubble stones have been usually given quoting from Japanese empirical recommendation without laboratory or in-situ tests, but the results of this study state that shear strength properties of rubble stone can be rationally determined and shear behavior characteristics of rubble stone can be invesgated by large-scale triaxial test

Post-harvest rot of grape causes a severe economic loss and lower of the grape quality. It is also one of the important limiting factors for grape export. Grape rots and their casual agents on 'Red Globe' variety imported from Chile were identified. Grapes shown rotting symptom were collected from the storages near the import harbor. The 3 different rots were identified on the imported 'Red Globe'; melting decay, gray mold, and blue mold. A bacterium that isolated from a typical melting decay symptom was identified as Gluconobacter cerinus on basis of its nucleotide sequence of 16S rDNA and fatty acid profile. By inoculation on grape, it caused cracking and dissolution of epidermis of grape which were the characteristics of melting decay. Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum were isolated from grapes showing gray mold and blue mold. The 2 fungal isolates were identified on basis of their morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence of their beta-tubulin genes. They showed strong pathogenicity on 'Campbell Early' variety that is a major table grape in Korea.

Many harbor structures have been constructed, and some structures are now under construction in Korea, which is a peninsular state and a logistics hub in Northeast Asia. Expansions and extensions of existing harbors are also being planned to meet increasing natural disaster threats. Wave-dissipation concrete blocks are recycled or discarded based on the personal experience of engineers only, and there are no safety checks or criteria. To check the safety of used blocks, material evaluations were done by visual inspection of blocks on the ground and under water and from 20 non-destructive measurements of the rebound hardness test and 3 concrete core samples. Wave-dissipation blocks are sometimes fully or partially damaged in the process of transferring and mounting them or during construction. Therefore, a safety check is essential for recycling blocks with an evaluation of materials while considering the construction phases. To do this, a block was modeled with a 3D finite element method using ADINA, and impact analyses were done according to the transfer, mounting, and construction phases. From the results of the impact analyses and material evaluation, the safety checks and reasonable evaluation of used blocks were examined, and detailed construction methods are proposed. The methods are expected to maximize the reuse of used wave-dissipation blocks from an economical point of view.
