  • Elastic-plastic methods have been used for the better prediction of the actual behavior of continuous-composite plate girder bridges in the overload and maximum load analysis. The structural evaluation using ALFD(Alternate Load Factor Design) uses the elastic-plastic analysis. The plastic rotations that remain after the load is removed can be occurred by the yielding locations of the maximum moment section. This situation can occur due to the residual stresses even if the moment is below the theoretical yield moment. The local yielding causes positive automoments that assure elastic behavior under subsequent overloads. In this study, the automoments at the piers occurred due to the unit plastic rotations and other locations were calculated by the conjugate-beam method and three-moment equation, using the nine design span with progressively smaller pier sections. The automoments were determined by the developed computer programs in this study in which the moments and plastic rotations from the continuity and moment-inelastic rotation relationships must be equal. And also the ratings of 3-span continuous composite plate girder bridges with non-compact section were carried out according to the Korean Highway Bridge Specification.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the paddy irrigation efficiency using real-time water level monitoring data and intermittent irrigation model in Gimjae, Dong-Jin irrigation district. For this study, the real-time water level data in Gimjae main canal and other secondary canals were collected from 2012 to 2014 and converted to daily discharge using rating curve in each canal. From intermittent irrigation model in paddy, irrigation water requirement was estimated and irrigation efficiency was calculated. The average amount of irrigation water supply per unit irrigation area was 1,011 mm in Gimjae main canal for 12,749 ha irrigation area, 1,011 mm in the secondary canal of upper region and 1,470 mm in the secondary canal of lower region. The median irrigation loss was 43 % in Gimjae main canal, 25 % in secondary canal of upper region and 35 % in the secondary canal of lower region. The larger irrigation area is, the irrigation loss rates tend to decrease in secondary canals. Monthly median irrigation losses in upper region were 10 (June) - 40 % (September) and those in lower region were 25 (May) to 40 % (April, June, August, and September). The results of canal management loss can be available as the basic data for irrigation water management and estimating guideline of optimal irrigation water supply to improve agricultural water use efficiencies.

  • It is necessary to estimate the groundwater recharge rate properly to predict the demand of groundwater and to establish the plan for the development of groundwater in the future. In this paper, A small basin in Chojung area is selected to calculate the groundwater recharge rate. In the calculation, water balance analysis, SCS-CN (Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number) method. groundwater-level analysis and hydrograph of outflow analysis are applied to this area. Data of precipitation measured by Chungju climatological station for about 10 years are used for water balance analysis and SCS-CN method. For the groundwater-level analysis. variations of groundwater-level measured from the 3 test wells in 1997's are used and stage-discharge rating curves in this area for 3 years are used for the hydrograph of outflow. The recharge rate calculated by water balance is 19%, 12.95% by SCS-CN method. 16.51% by groundwater-level analysis and 10.9% by hydrograph of outflow analysis and the overall average recharge rate is about 14.84%.

  • 본 연구는 하도특성의 불규칙으로 인해 수위와 유량이 단일 관계가 형성되지 않은 경우와 유수의 흐름이 지속되어 GZF 측정이 어려운 경우에 구간분리와 GZF를 결정하는 곡선식 개발 방법론이라 할 수 있다. 첫번째 연구과제는 저수위 구간 수위-유량관계곡선식의 GZF 추정방법의 개선에 관한 연구이다. 다음과 같은 연구를 수행하기 위해서 GZF의 변화에 따라 곡선식의 신뢰도를 분석할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 프로그램은 사용자들이 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 엑셀 VBA(Visual Basic for Applications)로 작성되었으며, 입력자료 구축 모듈, 하도단면 입력 모듈, GZF 설정 모듈, GZF 평가 등의 4개 모듈로 구성되어 있다. 두 번째 연구과제는 구간분리 유무의 기준에 관한 연구로서 수위-유량관계곡선의 신뢰도에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 단면의 특성이 상이한 4개의 수위관측소를 선정하여 수위-면적 곡선과 수위-면적변화량곡선을 생성하였으며 이로부터 단면변화와 구간분리의 특성을 분석하였다. 구간분리의 기준에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 단면특성인자, 유속, 하상경사, 수면경사, 단면통제, 하도통제 등을 들 수 있으며, 또한 다음과 같은 주요변수들이 서로 복합적으로 작용되기 때문에 일정한 기준을 제시하기란 어려운 부분이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구간분리에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수 중에서도 가장 크게 영향을 주는 변수인 하도 단면의 특성 등을 중심으로 연구를 진행하였다. 먼저 단면의 특성이 서로 상이한 수위 관측소 단면을 선정하여 수위관측소별로 저수부에서 고수위 구간까지 10cm의 등간격으로 수위별 면적을 산정하여 구간분리의 가능성을 판단하였다. 구간분리의 유무에 관한 연구는 현재 진행 중에 있으며, 향후에는 1단면, 2단면, 3단면까지 파악하여 단면 특성이 구간분리에 미치는 영향 등을 파악할 계획에 있다. 또한 하도 단면의 다양성을 고려하여 단면형상이 상이한 여러 수위관측소 지점에서 구간분리의 기준을 연구할 계획이며, 단면의 특성을 파악한 후에는 유량, 유속, 하상경사, 하도통제 등을 고려할 계획이다.

  • The definition of burning admittance and conventional n-$\tau$ stability rating technique are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instabilities inside the cylindrical combustion chamber. Perturbed flow variables are written as the sum of fluctuating and time-averaged mean quantities on the assumption that the terms of the order higher than unity are sufficiently small, hence linearized governing equations could be formulated. Chamber admittances up and downstream of the flame front calculated with appropriate boundary conditions result in the burning admittance and corresponding n-$\tau$ neutral stability curve. Configurational and operational design factors are tested to detect the unstable wave-induced LOX-RP1 combustion instabilities. Operational design factors, e.g. pressure or O/F ratio, appear less influential to drive high frequency instability while the location of the flame front and configurational factors enhance or deteriorate the stabilities strongly. Conclusively, LOX-RP1 combustion inside the cylindrical combustion chamber is apt to be unstable against long residence time and shortened chamber length.

  • Objectives: We aimed to assess the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and validity of the Korean version of the Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT). Methods: The Korean version of the Q-CHAT and the Korean version of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) 1.5-5 were completed by parents of 24 toddlers and preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 80 unselected toddlers and preschoolers. Parents of the ASD group also completed the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) scores were obtained from medical records. Results: The ASD group scored higher on the Q-CHAT than the unselected group. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Q-CHAT was 0.658, and test-retest reliability was calculated to be 0.836. The estimated area under the curve was 0.793. The total scores of the Q-CHAT in the ASD group demonstrated significant positive correlations with findings regarding pervasive development problems in the CBCL, SCQ, and CARS. A total score of 33.5 may be a useful cutoff point to use when identifying toddlers at risk of ASD. Conclusion: The Korean version of the Q-CHAT has good reliability and validity and can be used as a screening tool in order to identify toddlers and preschool children at risk of ASD.

  • In this study, the resources investigations of small hydropower generation were carried out for the five proposed sites in northern Gyeong-buk area. They consisted of the discharge measurements, rating-curve, flow duration curves, electricity generation, and economic analysis, respectively. The basic data were suggested to select the optimal small hydropower sites in northern Gyeong-buk area. The sites for Yecheon Gun and Munsu Myeon as a result are the best proposed ones using economic analysis. We considered, however, that the finacial benefit for small hydropower development may be small under 500 kW facility. The optimal proposed site over 500 kW facility was suggested as Yeongyang Gun in this study.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess the results of arthroscopic subacromial decompression in patients with chronic impingement and to evaluate the results according to the rotator cuff pathology. We evaluated the clinical results of treatment for chronic impingement syndrome in 28 patients from Feb 1996 to Feb 1997. There were twenty men and eight women in age from 24 to 72 years (mean age 51) with dominant arm involvement in sixteen patients. Follow up evaluations averaged 15(range 12-24)months. The average duration of symptoms were 15(range 6­60)months. The final diagnoses which were based on the physical examination, plain radiographs and arthroscopic findings, were stage II impingement in 16 patients and stage ill impingement in 12 patients. We excluded the patients with acromioclavicular arthritis or glenohumeral instability in this study. All patients were managed non-operatively a minimum of six months. During the operation we performed contouring and smoothing the acromial undersurface and only resecting of the anterolateral band of the coracoacromial ligament. The clinical results were quantitated using UCLA shoulder rating score. Satisfactory results were obtained in 23(80%) patients. Unsatisfactory results were obtained in 5(18%) patients with posterior cuff tear. The average UCLA pain score showed significant improvement from 2.8(constant pain) to 7.2(present during heavy activities) at final follow up. The function and active forward flexion scores also increased from their preoperative value. There was no significant differences according to the surface and severity of tear and NeeI' stage (P>0.05). These results compared favorably with those reported following open acromioplasty. While arthroscopic subacromial decompression is a demanding technique with a learning curve, it is a reliable treatment for chronic impingement syndrome. A less aggressive approach to subacromial decompression and preserving the posteromedial band of the coracoacromialligament does not appear to compromise results.

  • Hancheon reservoir, which is located upstream of Jeju city, has been built for flood mitigation after Typhoon Nari, 2007. To verify flood mitigating effect of the this reservoir on the downstream area, runoff analysis based on the measured data (two stream discharge monitoring stations and inflow data to the reservoir) is carried out during torrential rain followed by typhoon Dainmu, 2010. The stream water level was recorded as 3.14 m for the peak at the down gradient station. The stream water level under the assumption of absence of Hancheon reservoir is calculated as 4.16 m using the estimated rating curve, stream water propagation velocity, and the bypassed volume of water to the reservoir. This result shows that clear effect of reservoir operation which is capable of mitigating peak discharge in the downstream area.
