Variations in the discharge rates of drip emittes were examined to find the effects of operation pressure and the tube length and to evaluate performance of the emitters. Several point-source emitters were selected such as pressure compensated, anti-leak pressure compensated, turbulent flow regulated, flow regulated, ready-made dripper, and spaghetti. Combination of operation pressure and tube length were compared. The microirrigatioon system was operated at pressures of 0.5 , 1.0 , 1.5 and 2.0 bar. The discharge from emitters wer collected at every ten meters along the lateral tube and weighted. In order to evaluate the drip emitters performance coeffcient of discharge variation , statistical uniformity, and emission uniformity were calculated. No significant variation in discharge along drip tube resulted with all emitters. There is no trend of variatiiono of discharge rate from pressure compensated emitters with increase in operation pressures. But discharge rate from other types of emitters increased with increase in operation pressures. The nominal discharge of each emitter was secured at pressure of 1.0 bar, Evaluation using statiscal and emission uniformity coefficients indicated that most of the emitters excepts tubulent flow regulated emitter and ready-made dripper performed at excellent level.

Derivatio of reasonable design floods was attempted by comparative analysis of design floods derived by Generalized Extreme Value(GEV) distribution using methods of L-moments and LH-moments for the annual maximum series at ten watersheds along Han, Nagdong. Geum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river systems, LH-coefficient of variation, LH-skewness and Lh-kurtosis were calcualted by KH-moment ration respectively. Paramenters were estimated by the Method of LH-Moments, Design floods obtained by Method of LH-Moments using different methods for plotting positionsi n GEV distribution and design floods were compared with those obtained using the Method of L-Moments by the Relative Mean Errors(RME) and Relative Absolute Errors(RAE). The results was found that design floods derived by the method of L-Moments and LH-Moments using Cunnane plotting position formula in the GEV distribution are much closer to those of the observed data in comparison with those obtained by methods of L-moments and LH-moments using the other formula for plotting positions from the viewpoint of Relative Mean Errors and Relative Absolute Errors. In viewpoint of the fact that hydrqulic structures including dams and levees are genrally using design floods with the return period of two hundred years or so, design floods derived by LH-Moments are seemed to be more reasonable than those of L-Moments in the GEV distribution.

It is necessary to evaluate the location suitability of protected horticulutre facilities to guide and/or plan new protected horticulture facilities in rural areas. In this study, as one of methodological approaches for objective and systematic evaluation of location suitability for protected horiculture, the evaluation model of location sutitability for protected horticulture was formulated using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) as a base technique. The evaluation model was made in three different selected regions ; suburban, plain, and mountainous, The results showed that there were significant differences in evaluation model of location suitability for protected horticulture among three regions.

This study has been performed to confirm the three dimensional effect of the crack reduction and the restrained effect of crack growth for the synthetic fiber reinforced soil. Two types of polyrpropylene fiber and low plastic clay(CL) were used for the test. And the test variable were fiber length and so on. The results of the study were summarized as follows ; 1) The mixing of synthetic fiber was effective in reducing crack growth due to adhesion between soil partlcles and synthetic fiber.l Especially initlal crack was delayed, as compared with the pure soil, for about 1 day in case of mono filament synthetic fiber and for about 1 or 2 days in case of fibrillated syntetic fiber. 2) As the content and length of synthetic fiber were increased , the effect of crack reduction was increased. It was found that 0.5% fibrillated synthetic fiber with 40mm length reinforced soil had about 3 times more effective than natural soils. 3) In case of the same fiber content and fiber length, the fibrillated synthetic fiber has nmore effective than the mono filament synthetic fiber for crack reduction.

The purpose of this experiment is to estimate freezing and thawing resistance of rice straw ash concrete. Test results show that mass, pulse velocity and relative synamic modulus of elasticity are gradually decreased with increase of freezing and thawing cycle. The durability factor(DF) is in the range of 85.48 ∼86.33 in the rice straw ash comcrete with 2.5% , 5% 7.5%, rice straw ash and higher than that of thenormal cement concrete. But, DF of 10% , 12.5%, 15% rice straw ash filled rice straw ash concrete is in the range of 41.26∼65.34 and lower than that of the normal cement concrete.

The objective of this study were to investigate the properties and to improve the disadvantages of the polymer concrete such as brittle fracture, large hardening shrinkage . In this paper, steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete is prepared with various steel fiber aspect ratios(ι/d), contents(vol.%), and their material characteristics were investigated experimentally . The aspect ration (ι/d) of the steel fiber was reversly proportional to slump value, and slump value tended to decrease as increase of steel fiber content . And harding shrinkage and impact resistance tended to be improved as the steel fiber content and aspect ration were increased.

The purpose of this study is to examine the uses of fly ash asa type of construction material. This paper presents the results of research performed to identify optimum mix proportions for production of lowable fill with high volume fly ash content . The fly ash used in this study met the requirements of KS L 5405 and ASTM C 618 for Class F material. The flowable fill with high volume fly ash content was investigated for strength and flowability characteristics. Tests were carried out on flowable fill designed to have 10 ~15kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strength at 28 days with fly ash contents of approximately 260kgf/㎥. Slump was held at 25$\pm$1cm for all mixtures produced to range from 5kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 14kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strengths at 28 days. To produce flowable fill with high volume fly ash , first the influential variables were identified in an experimental study based on factorial design. Among the proportioning variables investigated, cement ,fly ash, and sand contents were found to have statistically significant effect on strength and slump of flowable fill . Subsequently, response surface analysis techniques were used to devise an experimental program that helped determine the optimum combinations of the selected influential variables based on material properties and cost. The optimized flowable fill were then technically evaluated. It is shown that flowable fill has acceptable compressive strength , slump flow, hardening time, and permeability.

Tow constitutive models for weathered granite soil, Yasufuku's constitutive model with a single yield surface and Lade's constitutive model with two intersectiong yield surface compared in terms of their capabilities to accurately capture the observed behavior of compacted weathered grainite soil for various stress-paths. Both the single surface and the double surface models capture the experimentally observed behavior at a variety of stress-paths with good accuracy. The double surface model may model the observed compacted weathered granite soil behavior with better accuracy for proportational loading with increasing stress, but the single surface model may model dilatancy property with better accuracy for p-constant loading with increasing stress ratio.
