The objectives of this paper were to simply estimate soil loss levels as caused by wind in reclaimed tidal flat land (RTFL) and the threshold wind velocity in the RTFL. For this experiment, RTFL located at Haenam Bay was selected and a total of 150 soil samples were collected at the Ap horizon from the five soil series. The particle distribution curves, including the limit of the non-erodible particle size (D > 0.84 mm) for each Ap horizon soil, show that the proportions of non-erodible particle sizes that exceeded 0.84 mm were 4.3% (Taehan, TH), 8.9% (Geangpo, GP), 0.5% (Bokchun, BC), 1.6% (Poseung, PS) and 1.4% (Junbook, JB), indicating that the amount of non-erodible soil particles increased with an increase in the sand content. The average monthly, daily and instantaneous wind velocities were higher than the threshold friction velocity (TFV) calculated according to the dynamic velocity (V_d) by Bagnold, while the average monthly wind velocity was lower than those of the TFV suggested by the revised wind erosion equation (RWEQ) and wind erosion prediction system (WEPS). The susceptible proportions of erodible soil particles from the Ap horizon soil samples from each soil series could be significantly influenced by the proportion of sand particles between 0.025 and 0.5 mm (or 0.84 mm) in diameter regardless of the threshold wind velocity. Thus, further investigations are needed to estimate more precisely soil erosion in RTFL, which shows various soil characteristics, as these estimations of soil loss in the five soil series were obtained only when considering wind velocities and soil textures.

신재생에너지의 관심이 증가함에 따라 해상풍력발전시장이 확대되고 있다. 열악한 환경에서 해상풍력발전을 안전하게 설치하기 위해서는 jack-up rig를 이용한 작업이 이루어져야하며, 최근에는 기존 jack-up rig의 단점을 보완한 자체추진력을 가진 WTIV가 개발되었다. 이는 60 m이하의 연안에서 주로 작업이 이루어지며, 이러한 지역은 연약 점성토 및 사질토로 jack-up rig 작업 시 지반침하에 대한 안정성 검토가 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 압밀이론을 고려하여 jack-up rig 작업이 연약지반에 미치는 영향을 FLAC3D를 이용하여 수치해석적인 연구를 진행하였다. 침하정도를 분석하고, 안정적인 jack-up rig 작업을 위해 재하방법을 달리하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 차등재하방법 중 mid-loading 방법은 clay층에 유리하며, pre-loading 방법은 sand층에 유리한 결과가 나타났다.

In case of studied area located around the sea, the data measured from the regional meteorological office is highly different from the local weather data because the diffusivity of fugitive dust varies considerably with meteorological conditions. Especially, it is very difficult to predict the amount of fugitive dust accurately as wind speed remains high frequently. In this study, the fluxes of suspended particulates as a function of the friction velocity were applied to consider the effect of wind speed on the amount of fugitive dust generated from the reclamation site. The amount of fugitive dust estimated as mentioned above was simulated by using ISCST3 model. As a result, in case of using only the Fugitive Dust Formula which is usually used in Environment Impact Assessment, the predicted $PM_{10}$ concentrations with points were $43.4{\sim}67.8{\mu}g/m^3$. However, in case of applying to the flux of suspended particulates, the predicted values of $PM_{10}$ with points were $43.3{\sim}69.1{\mu}g/m^3$, $49.5{\sim}90.4{\mu}g/m^3$ and $76.0{\sim}182.6{\mu}g/m^3$ with the wind speeds of 4.4, 5.8 and 7.7m/s, respectively. It could be possible to predict the amount of fugitive dust accurately because these predicted values were similar to the measured values. Consequently, we can establish alternatives for reduction of fugitive dust in this area damaged by fugitive dust which is caused by wind.

Massive coastal sand dunes are distributed in Ui-island, Shinan-gun. The sand dunes in Ui-island is worth studying, in terms of preserving natural environment without anthropogenic impacts. In this study, we surveyed geomorphological processes of the sand dune based upon measuring of geometric properties, grain size analysis, and OSL(Optically Stimulated Luminescence) age dating. The sediments of the dune consist mainly of well sorted medium sand with about 250$\mu$m. Based on spatial distribution of sand dunes, we found that they are formed by northwest monsoon during winter, and sands are supplied from Seongchon area in northern UI-island. According to OSL age dating, the sand dunes were deposited from $0.07{\pm}0.01ka$ to $0.17{\pm}0.04ka$. This result shows that the transformation of the dune due to the sand movement by wind was active during the last 100-200 years. The aerial photograph indicates that the dimension of the largest sand dune has decreased since 1945. Further research is needed to get more detailed information on geomorphic changes of sand dunes in UI-island.

본 연구는 기준목 측정값과 입도분석자료, 풍향 및 풍속자료를 이용하여 안면도 할미섬 주변의 침식 및 퇴적환경 요인을 분석하였다. 할미섬 주변의 퇴적 및 침식환경 변화를 관찰하기 위해 할미섬 주변 12곳에 기준목을 설치하고 2010년 5월 16일부터 2012년 5월 8일까지 총 32회의 현장실측을 실시하였다. 현장실측 결과 H-3, H-4, H-5, H-9 지점은 퇴적환경이 우세한 것으로 나타났으며, H-7, H-8, H-10, H-11, H-12 지점은 침식환경이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 H-2, H-6 지점은 침식과 퇴적이 반복적으로 나타나고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 할미섬의 남서측에 설치된 제방에 의해 해빈의 모래가 할미섬의 북동변으로 이동하지 못하고 이들 지점에 퇴적되었기 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 할미섬 전면의 비치리즈에서 모래를 공급받지 못한 북동측에서는 침식이 우세하게 진행된 것으로 판단된다. 즉 일반적으로 할미섬의 남서측에서는 퇴적이 우세한 반면 북동측에서는 침식이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 북동측의 H-9 지점과 남서측의 H-12지점은 반대의 경향이 관찰되었는데, H-9 지점의 경우 할미섬에 연결된 사취의 끝단에 위치하고 있어 조류에 의한 퇴적물 공급이 가능했기 때문으로 분석되었다. 반면 사구에 위치한 H-12 지점은 측정기간이 짧아 침식원인에 대한 분석을 내리기가 어려웠다.

The geomorphological changes of an unvegetated part of the Okjukdong coastal dune were analyzed between 2008 and 2018. Its natural landscape has been destroyed after artificial forestation, but there is no quantitative evidence on these changes. In this study, we measured the unvegetated area using a total station and a network RTK-GPS in 2008, 2014, and 2018. Using Krging method for the three point data sets, we constructed digital elevation models (DEMs) and analyzed topographic changes between the three years. The results showed that the sand of the study area decreased in volume from 2008 to 2014, because sand supply from the nearby beach was blocked by coastal forests. The sand volume temporarily increased from 2014 to 2018, because of the dune nourishment conducted in 2017. It seems that the upper part of the sand dune has shrunk, but the sand at the bottom has increased over the last decade.

CFD is applied to evaluate pedestrian wind comfort at outdoor platforms in a high-rise apartment building. Model validation is focused on generic building sub-configurations that are obtained by decomposition of the actual complex building geometry. The comfort study is performed during the design stage, which allows structural design changes to be made for wind comfort improvement. Preliminary simulations are performed to determine the effect of different design modifications. A full wind comfort assessment study is conducted for the final design. Structural remedial measures for this building, aimed at reducing pressure short-circuiting, appear to be successful in bringing the discomfort probability estimates down to acceptable levels. Finally, the importance of one of the main sources of uncertainty in this type of wind comfort studies is illustrated. It is shown that the uncertainty about the terrain roughness classification can strongly influence the outcome of wind comfort studies and can lead to wrong decisions. This problem is present to the same extent in both wind tunnel and CFD wind comfort studies when applying the same particular procedure for terrain relation contributions as used in this paper.

Cryptomeria japonica pollen is the most common pollen, which are scattering during each spring season in Japan. Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollinosis is one of seasonal allergic rhinitis that mainly occurs in Japan. In addition, long range transportation of Yellow Sand from the East Asian continent was also found during the pollen scattering seasons in Japan. Therefore, the interaction or impact between pollen and Yellow Sand should be concerned. In this study, our objective was to investigate the airborne behaviour of Cryptomeria japonica pollen grains and its size-segregated allergenic (Cry j 1) particles as the airborne tracer of Cryptomeria japonica pollen during the Yellow Sand events. Airborne Cryptomeria japonica pollen grains and its size-segregated allergenic particles were collected at roadside of urban residential zones of Saitama city during the pollination periods from February to March in two year investigation of 2009 and 2010. The overlap of Yellow Sand events and dispersal peak of pollen grains was observed. According to the Meteorological data, we found that the peaks of airborne pollen grains appeared under higher wind speed and temperature than the previous day. It was thought that Yellow Sand events and airborne pollen counts were related to wind speed. From the investigation of the airborne behavior of the size-segregated allergen particles by determining Cry j 1 with Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), the higher concentrations of the allergenic Cry j 1 were detected in particle size equal to or less than $1.1{\mu}m$($PM_{1.1}$) than other particle sizes during Yellow Sand events, especially in the rainy day. We conclude that rainwater trapping Yellow Sand is one of the important factors that affect the release of allergenic pollen species of Cry j 1. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the relationships between Cryptomeria japonica pollen allergenic species and chemical contents of the Yellow Sand particles in further studies.

The Okjukdong dune in Daecheong Island attracts national attention because of its unique landscape that is not covered by vegetation. However, there has been little knowledge on the timing of the dune formation, associated wind regime, and conservational strategies. In this study, we used OSL dating and grain size analyses to reveal the history of the dune development. In addition, we analyzed the wind regime in the dunefield which is surrounded by artificial coastal forest. The fine sand at Okjukdong underlain by a colluvial gravel layer indicates that the dune has been developed since at least 5 ka. Aeolian sands were found to be deposited around 700 years ago. The dunefield appears to have been severely eroded 30~60 years ago. The dune landscape has been destroyed after constructing a windbreak forest around the dunefield. The sand seems to be moving south and north with the season.

New lake dike in Saemanguem area is 125km length and require a great amount of fill materials, but it's difficult to get the amount of materials and develop a quarry because of environment conservation. Therefore, the solution is to use the dredged soil in project area as the fill materials not to develop quarry. However, characteristic of dredged soil as a silty fined sand is very weak at seepage, sliding, erosion of dike due to infiltration of rainfall, wind etc. So, lake dike using dredged soil must be constructed safely against the unstable problem of dredged sand. The objective of research is to make safe lake dike using dereged soil on construction of Saemangeum new lake dike. So, we analyzed the characteristic of dredged soil and suggested a standard section of lake dike.
