This study conducted experiment for understanding engineering characteristics of domestic sands by examining standard sand and sand from Yokji Island and Nakdong River in terms of confining pressure, $K_0$, over consolidation and relative density factors through triaxial compression test. The test showed that deviator stress by strain positively changed as confining pressure and relative density grow while $K_0$ and over consolidation factors do not directly correlated with it. Angle of internal friction decreases as confining pressure increases which strengthens contact force between particles, and declines as relative density drops, whereas $K_0$ and over consolidation factors hardly affect the results. When it comes to volumetric strain, volume expansion decreases as confining pressure increase due to crushability and rearrangement of particles while $K_0$ and over consolidation shows same movement unconditionally, and relative density appears compressed as it grows at the beginning however it expands as axial strain increases. Modulus of elasticity ($E_{sec}$) by strain has tendency into convergence resulting in initial secant modulus of elasticity ($E_{ini}$) > secant modulus of elasticity($E_{sec}$) > tangent modulus of elasticity ($E_{tan}$). On the other hand, it grows as confining pressure and relative density increase while indicating similar modulus of elasticity ($E_{sec}$) regarding on $K_0$ and over consolidation. Slope of critical line (M) tended to decrease as confining pressure increases, follow same line according to $K_0$, confining pressure and relative density, and increase as relative density grows.

This paper is relate to the result of pilot test in Asan. In order to evaluate the characteristics of behavior and deformation in Asan and to analyse the effect of soft ground treatment, preloading, two types of paper drain and pack drain were constructed in the ground. Settlement gauges, pressure meters, pressure cells and ground water gauges were monitored and also borings and piezoncone tests were performed. As a result of analyse, every vertical drained area was consolidated over 90% degree of consolidation but preloaded area was not reached to 90%.

In the correlation formulas related to consolidation proposed at present, the analyzed areas are limited to certain overseas or domestic areas and in order to increase the number of data, experimental data of different areas are integrated and therefore in many cases application is difficult. In addition, models have been developed without clear statistic evaluation of the obtained data. Accordingly, this study divided the soft areas of the west coast into Hangang, Kumgang and Yeongsangang in order to maximally reduce uncertainty of the experimental data and performed normality test and regression analysis on the physical and dynamic characteristics. According to the analysis result, the compression index and the modified compression index had strong linearity and in all areas modified compression index and initial void ratio had closest correlation, followed by total unit weight, water contents and liquid limits. As for overconsolidation ratio with depth, the width of overconsolidation ratio was large when the depth was less than 5 to 6 m in all areas and when the depth was over 5 to 6 m, the ratio was constant.

This paper introduced an alternative method called USCP (Unpenetrated Sand Compaction Pile). In USCP, the toe of the sand pile does not reach to the lower supporting layer. Hence it is possible to reduce the amount of sand required. However, the degree of improvement could not be the same as SCP. Effective soil improvement, nevertheless, might be possible by combining both methods. In this paper, an improved method that cross over both SCP and USCP was discussed. And in order to verify applicability to a clay layer, consolidation behaviors with different conditions were analyzed and compared using FEM(Finite Element Method) based on the elasto-viscosity theory. From the results, it is concluded for the characteristic of settlement of USCP that the lower degree of replacement and the smaller ratio of penetration($H_d/H$), the larger is the settlement of the lower part of the clay layer comparing to the layer with no improvement. It is also concluded that the ratios of allotment of stress (m) calculated from the final settlements with 30% of degree of replacement are $1.8{\sim}3.3$ for $H_d/H=lOO%,\;1.8{\sim}4.0\;for\;H_d/H=75%,\;and\;1.8{\sim}3.8\;for\;H_d/H=50%$. Besides, the ratio of allotment of stress decreased as the degree of replacement decreased.

Jinhae's educational facilities had been located in the most integrated area at the beginning. As Jinhae's spatial layout has been in a rapid growth by constructing new towns and experiencing major consolidations over years, it was argued that this morphological transformation inevitably brought to the change of the characteristics of educational facilities' arrangement. In this reason, a number of studies have discussed the ways of how they have been settled down from the beginning of Jinhae. However, they did not take into an account of both the first consolidation happened in 1985 and the second one in 2013. This paper therefore aims to investigate how Jinhae's urban structure has been transformed between the two consolidations from a syntactical perspective, and then to interpret characteristics of educational facilities arrangement accordingly. This study finds out that when Jinhae experienced the first consolidation, educational facilities were occupied in highly segregated areas in terms of both global and local integration values. However, their locations turned out to be more intelligible after the second consolidation. This suggests that they have a significant effect on the process of urban growth at local level. Although the educational facilities particularly in Pungho and Ungchun are in highly integrated spaces at global level, they are still less intelligible.

고유기질토의 정규압밀과 과입밀에 대한 압밀특성을 연구하기 위하여 전북지역에서 채취한 2종류의 고유기질토 IS와 YJ를 사용하여 일련의 실내 표준압밀시험과 반복압밀시험을 수행하였다. 전북지역 대표적인 고유기질토의 물리적 특성은 유기물함량이 각각 58%와 72%, 자연함수비 487%와 635%, 초기공극비 7.02와 9.72이었다. 표준압밀시험결과 K, $M_{v}$ , $C_{v}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 선행하중을 경계로 일반 점토보다 크게 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 또한 2단계, 3단계 반복압밀 시험결과 K, $M_{v}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 완만하게 감소하였으며 표준압밀시험결과보다는 작게 나타났다. 2단계 반복압밀의 경우 $C_{v}$ 는 정규압밀영역에서 표준압밀시험결과보다 약 10-12배정도 크게 나타났다. $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 각각 선행하중의 약 2.5배, 3배 하중을 정점으로 크게 증감하는 고유기질토 고유의 특성을 나타냈다. 고유기질토의 $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 일반 점토보다 압밀압력 의존성이 큰 특성을 나타냈으며 최대값도 각각 2.9-3.8, 0.3-0.4로 일반 점토보다 큰 값을 보였다. 2단계, 3단계 반복압밀시험결과 $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 약간 증가하였다. $C_{a}$ 는 OCR이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였으며 특히 OCR이 1-2 범위에서 감소폭이 크게 나타났다. 고유길토의 제압밀계수는 반복회수 및 하중의 크기 등에 따라서 큰 영향을 받으며 또한 과압밀 크기의 대소는 고유기질토의 $C_{a}$ 에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되어 이 분야에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

This paper examines the hypothesis that states consolidation and concentration within Korean banking industry have impaired competition and escalated market power of banks. Competition is measured using Bresnahan-Lau method, which estimates a structural model consisting of a demand function and a supply function of banking services, based on aggregate monthly data of January 1996 to December 2002. Estimations indicate that pricing behavior of Korean banks during the period is consistent with perfect competition, and they behave more competitively even after the increase in concentration ratio. The results imply that, contrary to the concerns over the potential for monopoly power, bank competition may not be damaged by the consolidation.

This study examines the process of urban formation in the city of Yanji. The analysis is done by the change of street pattern and major facility location in a timely manner by appling space syntax method. This research categorizes the pattern of the urban growth focused on two urban forms, street and major buildings, in the city and is offered of the meaning of the first value on interpretation of the urban growth in the city of Yanji. The result of the research are as follows. First, the period of the city transformation is divided into four stage; intuitive period, grid-iron formative period, consolidation period, and urban expansion period. Second, characteristics of each stage have been analyzed. At the first stage, the city started to frame along both buildings and streets which were placed without a plan. At the second stage, the city was planned and constructed into new grid-iron pattern ignoring existing context by Jananese colony. At the consolidation period, the road system expands from the city center toward suburban. At the last expansion period, the shape of the city has complicated its shape with complex road system. This study contributes to provide a basic analysis and data to investigate how the Yanji city has evolved over period of time. But further continuous research should be done for future urban development of the Yanji city.

The express courier business in Korea has been recognized as one of promising business sectors with the annual growth rate of over 10 percent since 2001. As such many domestic and foreign companies have been established and are fiercely competing to extend their own market share. The severe competition has forced them to focus on achieving cost competitiveness and high level of customer service. Small and medium-sized enterprises( SMEs) with relatively poor network infrastructure in particular are facing tougher challenges to cost reduction and efficiency improvement in their logistics networks. Strategic alliances among SMEs may be an effective way to cope with these challenges. Therefore this study proposes an integer programming model for compromised network design and its solution procedure based on maxmin and maxsum criteria for strategic alliances. The applicability and efficiency of the proposed model are demonstrated through an illustrative numerical example.

한계상태이론은 정규압밀 및 과압밀시료에 대한 비배수 전단강도와 간극수압계수에 관한 식을 제안하고 있는데, 이 식은 3가지 상수를 포함하고 있다. 한계상태상수(M), 한계상태 간격비(${\gamma}$), 한계상태 간극수압계수(Λ)가 바로 그것이며, 이러한 상수는 각 모델 및 구하는 방법에 따라 그 차이가 발생함으로서, 전단강도 및 간극수압계수의 예측시 적지 않은 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 재 성형된 이암풍화토를 이용하여 등방삼축압축시험을 정규압밀과 과압밀로 나누어 실시하고 그 결과를 분석하였으며 이를 토대로 각 모델 및 방법에 따른 상수를 도출하였다. 그리고 이러한 상수의 차이가 비배수 전단강도 및 간극수압계수의 예측에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 시험결과 정규압밀시료의 경우 각 상수의 변화에 따른 비배수 전단강도 및 간극수압계수는 상당한 차이를 보였으며, 한계상태간격비와 Λ값을 강도비로부터 얻어진 값을 사용한 경우가 결과치에 가장 잘 근접함을 알 수 있었다. 과압밀시료의 경우 역시 이들 상수에 따라 전단강도의 변화폭이 크게 나타났으며 정규압밀과 마찬가지로 강도비에서부터 도출된 상수를 적요한 경우 실측치에 가장 근접하였다. 반면 간극수압계수의 예측시에는 상수에 따른 변화폭이 크지 않았으며, 특히 과압밀비가 증가할수록 각 상수에 대한 영향이 작게 나타났다.
