Rice seedling test was conducted to check the loging tolerance at ripening stage through evaluating the root characters. Thirteen Korean and foreign rice cultivars with direct seeding adaptable or high quality characteristics were grown in a cell pot and under submerged paddy. The root characters and pushing resistance of rice hill were determined at seedling and ripening stage, respectively. The diameter of crown root at the 7th and 8th leaf stages was thicker in lodging tolerance cultivars than those of others and showed significant-positive correlation with both pushing resistance and crown root diameter of mature plants. Also, the tensile strength of crown root at the 7th and 8th leaf stage showed highly positive correlation with the tensile strength of crown root of mature plants. The number of crown root at 7th leaf stage was significant-positively correlated with that of mature plant. The diameter of seminal root was not significantly correlated with the diameter of crown root throughout the whole growth stage. These results indicate that the diameter, tensile strength and number of crown root associated with root lodging tolerance can be detected with the seedling at about 7th or 8th leaf stage, and the seedling test using the cell pot is an useful and practical method to select lodging tolerant cultivars or lines of rice based on root characters, especially diameter of crown root.

This study measured the shearing resistance of the roots of the Sasamorpha purpurascens, Miscanthus sinensis, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya by the tensile strength gained through their individual tensile test for the Root Reinforcement Model. The results to have measured this stress by experiment are as follows. 1) The mean root diameter of the Lespedeza cyrtobotrya used for this experiment was 2.19mm and the mean tensile stress was calculated as $929.489kgf/cm^2$. As for the Sasamorpha purpurascens, its mean root diameter was 1.727mm, and the mean tensile stress was $292.069kgf/cm^2$. And as for the Miscanthus sinensis, its mean root diameter was 0.814mm, and the mean tensile stress was $696.947kgf/cm^2$. And so, it was grasped that Lespedeza cyrtobotrya was highest in tensile stress. 2) ${\Delta}Cr(kg/cm^2)$ of the shearing resistance calculated by estimating the areal ratio of roots at $10^{-3}$ is $1.069kg/cm^2$ in Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, $0.336kg/cm^2$ in Sasamorpha purpurascens, and $0.801kg/cm^2$ in Miscanthus sinensis. That is, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya has the highest shearing resistance. However, since a precise analysis of the controlled factors of the slope analyses are demanded for more accurate dynamic analyses, the future demands a study on this.

To characterize the root strength changes of Pinus densiflora by elapsed years after forest fire, we measured and analyzed the tensile force and strength of the roots using the universal testing machine for 4 years. The deterioration rate of the root strength was higher in small diameter class than that in large diameter class. Especially, the deterioration was highest of the root strength at the second year in all surveyed diameter classes and the mean deterioration rate of the root strength was 61% by that time. The tensile strength based on the simulation by ordinary differential equations deteriorated more than 50% in all diameter classes within 2 years after forest fire.

To analyze the effects of tree roots on the stability of damage slope, distributional and physical properties of five-year Pinus densiflora roots were investigated. In the composition of roots, the proportion of main root to lateral root was 1 to 9 in slope condition. Root tensile force was increased in accordance with increased proportion to diameter of Pinus densiflora roots. However, tensile strength was decreased in proportion to diameter of roots. Root shear strength showed that soil containing Pinus densiflora roots was higher than that of non-treated soils. This result shows that Pinus densiflora roots significantly stabilize the surface-soil rather than sub-soil in damage slopes.

To provide the basic information about slope stability analysis, tensile force and strength of tree roots like Pinus koraiensis, Larix leptolepis, Pinus densiflora, Quercus mongolica, and Alnus japonica were measured and analyzed. As a result, tensile force increases in forms of involution of root diameter. The mean tensile strength of roots like P. koraiensis, L. leptolepis, P. densiflora, A. japonica and Q. mongolica were calculated as $165.38kgf/cm^2$, $172.78kgf/cm^2$, $176.25kgf/cm^2$, $214.29kgf/cm^2$ and $224.19kgf/cm^2$ respectively. It was shown that tensile strength decreasing tendency as root diameter increases. Also, recalculated soil shear strength by tensile strength of the roots like P. koraiensis, L. leptolepis, P. densiflora, A. japonica and Q. mongolica were $0.099kgf/cm^2$, $0.104kgf/cm^2$, $0.106kgf/cm^2$, $0.129kgf/cm^2$ and $0.135kgf/cm^2$ respectively.

This study measured the shearing resistance of the roots of the Pinus Koraiensis by the tensile strength gained through their individual tensile test for the Root Reinforcement Model. On the basis of the shearing resistance value calculated through such a process the factor of safety(Fs) was comparatively presented by using the simplified Janbu Method in PCSTABL5M, the slop-analyzing software which had been developed in Purdue University of the U.S.A according to the shape of a slope and the type of soil. The results to have measured a stress and the factor of safety(Fs) by experiment are as follows. 1) The mean root diameter of the Pinus Koraiensis used for this experiment was 2.483mm and the mean tensile stress was calculated as 422.846(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). In the strain ratio of material and the elastic modulus was measured 7.8%, 9,291.92(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). 2) The shearing strength including the resistance of soil and root is expressed as Rt=C+Cr+$\sigma$.tan . ΔCr(kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of the shearing resistance calculated by estimating the areal ratio of roots at 10 is 0.253(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). 3) As the result of making an analysis of the natural slope stability by the soil parameter, the factor of safety(Fs) was calculated at 1.795 in CL, and the stability analysis of the root reinforcement slope, Fs was calculated at 1.952. However, since a precise analysis of the controlled factors of the slope analyses are demanded for more accurate dynamic analyses, the future demands a study on this.

When designing an internal gear. the bending strength around pitch point as well as that at tooth root fillet should be considered because the bending stress around pitch point may occur as high as that at tooth root fillet. In this study, including stress state around pitch point, the bending strength (tensile side and compressive side) of internal gear tooth is investigated by the use of the finite element method(FEM) with regarding many influencing factors of cutter and gear geometries. Then, the critical sections around pitch point and at tooth root fillet are determined, and the simple formulae based on nominal stresses(bending, compressive, and shear) are derived for the calculations of actual stresses as the functions of tooth thicknesses and radii of curvatures of involute and fillet curve at those critical sections. The stresses calculated by the formulae agree well with those by the FEM. And the bending stresses around pitch point and at tooth root are easily estimated by the use of those formulae, therefore, those formulae are useful for the purpose of the design or the bending strength estimation of internal gear.

This experimental work was carried out to investigate the fatigue bending strength on various shapes and sizes of notches of the domestically manufactured steel plate. The notch types tested were a circular hole, U-and V-notches. The S-N diagram for different notch shapes were discussed in relation to plan bending strength and stress concentration factor of notches .The results of the experiments are summarized as follows : (1) The difference between stress concentration factor and notch factor was greater as the radium of notch root became smaller, and these values approached to an identical value as the radium of notch root increased. (2) It was shown that the plane bending fatigue limit of bar without notch for the hotrolled steel having the tensile strength of 33.1kg/$mm^2$was 17.0kg/$mm^2$. (3) U-and V-notch had a greater effect of stress concentration factor on the endurance limit, but O-hole showed the same effect only for $\o\pm2mm$. (4) For the same radius of notch root, U-notch showed a lower value of fatigue limit compared to V-notch and O-hole.
