Geomaterials such as soil and rock are composed of discrete elements of microstructures with different grains and microcracks. The studies of these microstructures are of increasing interest in geophysics and geotechnical engineering relating to underground space development We first show experimental results undertaken for direct observation of microcrack initiation and propagation by using a newly developed experimental system, and next a homogenization method for treating a viscoelastic behavior of a polycrystalline rock.

온풍난방은 우리 나라 대부분의 온실난방지역에서 가장 많이 채택하고 있는 온실난방방법으로 간주되고 있다. 온풍난방은 기본적으로 화석연료를 연소열로 변환시켜 온실난방에 사용하는 방법으로 온수난방, 태양열난방 보다 열효율이 높다. 가장 보편적 온실난방열원으로는 경유나 보일러등유를 연소실에서 연소하여 열교환기를 거친 후 온풍기의 상부에 부착되어 있는 송풍팬으로 강제적으로 온실 내로 온풍을 불어넣는다. (중략)

Of increasing global popularity is the multi-dimensional use and development of cities to address land use and urban issues caused by high urban density and challenging topography. In Korea, the city of Busan has a large proportion of mountainous areas, and the Gyeongbu Line that runs through the city's center has been interrupting this urban area for over 117 years. Because a lack of usable land is hindering the development of the city, introducing a multi-dimensional approach to urban development is seen as important. Accordingly, the Gyeongbu Line underground project is attempting to solve the problem of disconnection of Busan's city center and increase the amount of usable land for varied multi-dimensional use. In this study, by conducting a preference survey among those who live near the underground project sites of the Gyeongbu Line stations in Busan, the planned use of each available land arearesulting from the multi-dimensional development of railroadsand railway stations was investigated. However, in order to further the results of the survey, legal and institutional support is needed. There are limits to the multi-dimensional use of land, such as the lack of interconnection between individual laws and the lack of specific guidelines for multi-dimensional development.

Up to now a wide variety of researches on inpipe inspection robots have been introduced, but it still seems to be difficult to construct a robot providing mobility sufficient to navigate inside the complicated configuration of underground pipelines. This paper introduces a robot called MRINSPECT IV(Multifunctional Robotic Crawler for inpipe inSPECTion IV) for the inspection of urban gas pipelines with a nominal 4-inch inside diameter. The proposed robot can freely move along the basic configuration of pipelines such as along horizontal or vertical pipelines. Moreover it can travel along reducers, elbows, and steer in the branches by modulating the speeds of driving modules. Especially, its capability for steering in tile three-dimensional pipeline configuration has a competative edge over the other ones and provides excellent mobility in navigation. Its critical points in the design and construction are introduced and results of experiments are given.

The design of tunnels in rock masses often demands more informations on geologic features and rock mass properties than acquired by usual field survey and laboratory testings. In practice, the situation that a perfect set of geological and mechanical input data is given to geomechanics design engineer is rare, while the engineers are asked to achieve a high level of reliability in their design products. This study presents an artificial neural network which is developed to resolve the difficulties encountered in conventional design techniques, particulary the problem of deteriorating the confidence of existing numerical techniques such as the finite element, boundary element and distinct element methods due to the incomplete adn vague input data. The neural network has inferring capabilities to identify the possible failure modes, support requirements and its timing for underground openings, from previous case histories. Use of the neural network has resulted in a better estimate of the correlation between systems of rock mass classifications such as the RMR and Q systems. A back propagation learning algorithm together with a multi-layer network structure is adopted to enhance the inferential accuracy and efficiency of the neural network. A series of experiments comparing the results of the neural network with the actual field observations are performed to demonstrate the abilities of the artificial neural network as a new tunnel design assistance system.

In this paper it was written about the safety management plan for underground power transmission cable, and it guarantees the reliable electric power supply and facility management to prevent an electric disasters according to that. Recently fires which happens on OF Cable lead to a breakdown of power system and cause a power outage of wide area and serious social problems. So it needs an improvement of inspection ability on OF cable as well as a strict inspection system to prevent that problems in advance and it will bring us the development of electric safety management and the reliable electric power supply.

This paper handles with effect of electromagnetic force on the cables by fault current accompanied by accident of underground transmission cable. Even though underground transmission cable is an essential transmission method to supply stable power for downtown and population center, interaction of electromagnetic force from fault current is very large comparing to overhead transmission line due to restricted installation space such as tunnel, etc. and close consideration is required for it. This paper describes the effect of electromagnetic force through results of three phase short-circuit test and electromagnetic force analysis using theoretical calculations and electrical evaluation test after three phase short-circuit test, which will be utilized as basic materials for improvement and development of cleat, hanger, etc. to reduce and release effect of electromagnetic force in the future.

Mining diggers have been substituted with the robots for the mining works in dangerous and narrow tunnel, and those demands are increased in nowadays. In this study, experimental research on the remote controlled robots to perform after the development of the robot. According to the test results, performances of the developed robot and its working devices have been modified several times. It has been considered that the robot keeps its optimum performance in states as follows; driving speed 1.0 km/h, crawl angle $10^{\circ}$, spiking cycle 500bpm and breaking power $30kg_fm$. And also it has been found that sufficient cooling for the robot's working parts is essential to extend those working periods longer than 3 hours steadily under rating condition.

To suggest the fundamental data for development of the soil improvement method which increases the permeability in aquifer by jet water, laboratory tests were performed. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The diameter of the improved section was maximum value when the time of water jetting was about 4 minutes, and it was not increased according as the time of water jetting was longer than 4 minutes. 2. It appeared that 2.78 mm in diameter of the nozzle was the most optimum size in the condition of using the 1/8 HP - pump and the diameter of improved section in that case was 15.9cm 3. According to removing fine - soil particles, the original soil was improved, suitable to the purpose of improving, and then the permeability of the improved soil was 100 times of that of the original soil. 4. As the improved soil was satisfied to the design criteria of filter materials, the improvement method in this study will be useful for constructing underground collecting channels or underground collecting drainage canals.
