지하방수로는 도시의 지하에 대규모 수로 터널을 시공하여, 도시 지역에 발생한 집중 호우를 초기에 배제하여 제내지 침수 피해를 줄이는 목적으로 사용되는 대표적인 구조적 홍수 피해 경감 대책이다. 효과적으로 침수 피해를 줄일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 특히 지하에 설치되어 토지 수용에 대한 부담이 줄어들기 때문에 일본 등지에서 최근 주요 홍수 방어 대책으로 활용되고 있다. 지하방수로 유입부는 크게 접근수로, 유입구, 수직 갱도(vertical shaft)로 구분되며, 접근 수로를 통하여 유입된 흐름은 유입구를 통하여 가속된 후 수직 갱도로 유입되게 된다. 따라서 지하방수로의 배제 능력을 평가하기위해서는 유입구에서의 유량 및 흐름 특성을 정확히 평가하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 나선식 종경사형 유입구(inclined spiral intake)는 지하방수로 유입구 중 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 형식으로 나선식 유입구의 한 형태로 유입구의 외측 또는 중앙선을 따라서 일정한 경사를 주어 사류 유입 흐름을 유도함으로서 유량 배제 효율을 높인 형태이다. 나선식 종경사형 유입구도 일반적인 나선식 유입구와 마찬가지로 접근수로 수위를 측정하여 유입량을 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리 모형 실험을 통하여 나선식 종경사형 유입구에 대한 수위-유입량 관계를 검토하였다. 평탄한 입구를 가지는 안내벽이 있는 형식의 유입구 모형을 이용하여 수위-유입량 관계를 검토하였다.

A single specimen of Caranx melampygus (113 mm standard length), belonging to the family Carangidae, was firstly collected by a set net from the coastal waters of Jejudo Island, Korea. This species is morphologically similar to C. sexfasciatus except for the posterior end of maxilla not reaching the posterior margin of eye (vs. reaching in C. sexfasciatus) and no black blotch on the upper part of opercle (vs. black blotch). We newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name "Jag-eun-ip-jul-jeon-gaeng-i" for the species because it has relatively smaller upper jaw when compared with C. sexfasciatus.

In this study, a small autonomous driving robot was developed for underground mines using the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor. The developed robot measures the distances to the left and right wall surfaces using the LiDAR sensor, and automatically controls its steering to drive along the centerline of mine tunnel. A field experiment was conducted in an underground amethyst mine to test the driving performance of developed robot. During five repeated driving tests, the robot showed stable driving performance overall. There were no collision accidents with the wall of mine tunnel.

This paper describes the development of a simple and quantitative subsidence hazard estimation method appropriate to Korean coal mines using gangway depth information only. In spite of simpleness of estimation method, this new method gives good results close to those obtained using influence function method when applying to a virtual rectangular excavation model and to a closed mine where actual subsidence occurred. Therefore, this method can be effectively applied to the identification of zones liable to subsidence over closed coal mine in Korea where the shape of extraction is very complex and usually unknown.

Treatment conditions for the induced diploid gynogenesis, a maternal-exclusive form of artificial parthenogenetic reproduction, were optimized in bagrid catfish (Leiocassis ussuriensis, Siluriformes). Optimal amounts of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for the genetic inactivation of spermatozoa in bagrid catfish and Pseudobagrus fulvidraco were proven to be ranged from 3,600 to 4,800 $ergs/mm^2$ based on the examination of viability of embryos and haploid incidence. Haploid embryos were restored to diploidy by preventing the extrusion of the second polar body using cold shock treatment. Thermal treatments (4 or $6^{\circ}C$ for 30, 40 or 50 min) were carried out 3, 5 or 7 min post insemination. Best scores for embryo viability (38.6% of total eggs taken) and incidence of normal diploidy (87.9% of hatched larvae) were observed at the embryo group treated at $4^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, 5 min after insemination. Restoration of gynogenetic diploidy was confirmed based on the absence of haploid syndrome, cell size and/or nucleolar organizing region (NOR) counts.

In this study, a total of 13 mines were finally selected as study subjects and field measurements were conducted. Thereafter, calculations of thermodynamic natural ventilation were attempted using spread sheets and solutions for natural ventilation of mine types with multiple vertical shafts were obtained. Based on the results, natural ventilation of each mine was quantified. In addition, changes in natural ventilation energy (NVE) and natural ventilation pressure (NVP) were estimated assuming mine deepening and the resultant values were applied to mine conditions to observe changes in flow rates. Natural ventilation pressure in domestic mines is generally calculated to be in a range of 5 Pa~300 Pa. Although NVP increases as the depth increases, resistance also increases. Therefore, as the depth increases, flow rates show a tendency of converging on a certain value because of the relationship between NVP and mine resistance. Natural ventilation using shafts with depth differences is effective up to depths of 200~300 m. However, flow rate change rates resulting from NVP are small at depths deeper than approximately 200~300 m. Therefore, if a mine is deepened over 300 m, NVP will become insufficient and thus additional pressure obtained through mechanical ventilation will be necessary.

To achieve mine development, a large amount of data concerned with the geological structure and the ore body had to be investigated and collected through geological survey, drilling and geophysical explorations. In most previous cases, however, the data were usually analyzed two dimensionally and those results showed some limits because of their 2D presentation. Those 2D maps such as geological plane sections or longitudinal sections cause lots of difficulties in understanding the complex geological structure or the feature of ore body in a spatial way. In this study, research area was set on the abandoned Yangyang iron mine in Korea and the Sugaeng ore body within the mine was selected as the research target to design a mine haulage system for reopening. A 3D mine model of this area was tried to be constructed using a 3D modelling software, GEMS. An accurate 3D model including the ore body, the geological structure, the old underground mine drifts and the new mine drifts was constructed under the purpose of reopening of the abandoned iron mine. Especially, mine design for trackless haulage system was conducted. New inclines and drifts were planned and modelled 3 dimensionally considering the utilization of old drifts and shaft. In addition to the 3D modelling, geostatistical technique was adopted to generate a spatial distribution of the ore grade and the rock physical properties. 3D model would be able to contribute in solving problems such as evaluating ore reserves, planning the mine development and additional explorations and changing the development plans, etc.

The ventilation system plays a crucial role in underground mine safety. The main objective of the ventilation system is to supply sufficient air to dilute the contaminated air at working places and consequently provide tenable environment during the normal operation, while it also should be capable of controlling the fire propagation and facilitate rescue conditions in case of fire in mines. In this study, a smoke control fan was developed for the auxiliary ventilation as well as the fire smoke exhaust. It works as a free-standing auxiliary fan without tubing to dilute or exhaust the contaminated air from the working places. At the same time, it can be employed to extract the fire smoke. This paper aims to examine the smoke control efficiency of the fan when combined with the current ventilation system in mines. A series of the site experiments and numerical simulations were made to evaluate the fan performance in blind entry development sites. The tracer gas method with SF6 was applied to investigate the contaminant behavior at the study sites. The results of the site study at a large-opening limestone mine were compared with the CFD analysis results with respect to the airflow pattern and the gas concentration. This study shows that in blind development entry, the most polluted and risky place, the smoke fan can exhaust toxic gases or fire smoke effectively if it is properly combined with an additional common auxiliary fan. The venturi effect for smoke exhaust from the blind entry was also observed by the numerical analysis. The overall smoke control efficiency was found to be dependent on the fan location and operating method.

The collapse of underground mine development void for mineral resources can cause the subsidence of ground surface. In order to prevent the subsidence of ground, data such as maps or pictures of past mining site is important information for current mine reclamation works. In particular, mine subsidence management was based on mining maps and pictures. The process of the mining area surveys, safety evaluation, and ground reinforcement are normally possible with information such as maps and pictures in past mining. During the Japanese colonial period and 1960's, a lot of mines were developed in Korea indiscriminately. However, mining information at that time is limited to use. In the future, mining information will become even more rare. MIRECO intends to establish a realistic alternative solution. In this study, the basic numerical information of developed mine tunnels in Korea is statistically reviewed, and advanced underground cavity measuring technology was studied. 4,473 mine tunnel opening data of 1,784 abandoned mines in korea were collected and sorted. As a result of the analysis, the average value of small mine tunnel openings in Korea was 1.982 m in height and 1.959 m in width. The mean value of shape factor was analyzed as 0.485. The summary of these numerical mine data will be helpful for understanding and researching Korean abandoned mines. Therefore, the development of measurement technology for abandoned mine cavities and tunnels is expected to facilitate more effective mine subsidence management works in Korea.
