It is necessary to perform a dynamic analysis to numerically evaluate the effect of blasting on nearby facilities. The blast load time history, which cannot be directly measured, is most often determined from empirical equation. The load has to be adjusted to account for various factors influencing the load and the frequency, but there is not a clear guideline on how to adjust the load. In this study, a series of 2D dynamic numerical analyses that simulates a closely monitored test blasting is performed, from which the blast load that matches the measured vibrations are derived. In the analyses, it is assumed that the hole generated by the blasting is in the form of a circle, and the load was applied normally to the wall of the opening. Special attention was given in selecting the damping ratio for the ground, since it has important influence on the wave propagation and attenuation characteristics of the blast induce waves. The damping ratio was selected such that it matches favorably with the attenuation curve of the measurement. The analyses demonstrate that the empirical blast load widely used in practice highly overstimates the vibration since it does not account for the energy loss due to rock fragmentation. If the empirical load is used without proper adjustment, the numerical analysis may seriously overstimate the predicted vibration, and thus has to be reduced in the analysis.

The purpose of this study is to classify the Korean precipitation regions on the basis of the characteristics of extratropical cyclonic precipitation. From now on, extratropical cyclone is called cyclone in short. By using factor analysis and Ward method in cluster analysis, precipitation regions on the basis of the characteristics of cyclonic precipitation are classified The principal data used in this study are daily precipitation records obtained from 60 weather stations of the Korea Meteorological Service during the ten years($1981{\sim}1990$), and weather charts published by the Japan Meteorological Agency. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows: (1) In the factor analysis using 43 variables which have relation to the extratropical cyclonic precipitations, They are seven factors whose eigenvalues are above 1.0. This explains 86 percent of total amount. The first factor explains the characteristics of precipitation in the middle-west area and its contribution degree has the highest 10.9 percent. (2) According to the cluster analysis method of Ward, extratropical cyclonic precipitation regions are classified seven macro regions(such as Kyungki and North Youngseo, Youngdong and Ullungdo, Hoseo and South Youngseo, Honam and Northwest Chejudo, Southeast Chejudo, North Youngnam, and South Youngnam), 22 meso regions. (3) The characteristics of precipitation regions have relations to the path of cyclone, the direction of air inflow and the strike of mountain ranges. As the conclusion, the Central China Low brings much precipitation in the southern coast and southern area of Korea as moving to the northeastward. The North China Low moves eastward and brings much precipitation in the western area of the Taeback mountain ranges. The probability of extratropical cyclonic precipitation is the lowest in the inland of Yeongnam and the eastern coastal areas which belong to the rain shadow region. Namely, The seasonal and spatial characteristics of precipitation are closely associated with the path of cyclone and the direction of air inflow according to its passage, and the strike of mountain ranges.

The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of Acid Red 66, adsorbed by granular activated carbon, were investigated on areas of initial concentration, contact time, and temperature. The adsorption equilibrium data were applied to Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Redlich-Peterson, and Temkin isotherms. The agreement was found to be the highest in the Freundlich model. From the determined Freundlich separation factor (1/n = 0.125 ~ 0.232), the adsorption of Acid Red 66 by granular activated carbon could be employed as an effective treatment method. Temkin's constant related to adsorption heat (B_T = 2.147 ~ 2.562 J mol^-1) showed that this process was physical adsorption. From kinetic experiments, the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second order model with good agreement. The results of the intraparticle diffusion equation showed that the inclination of the second straight line representing the intraparticle diffusion was smaller than that of the first straight line representing the boundary layer diffusion. Therefore, it was confirmed that intraparticle diffusion was the rate-controlling step. From thermodynamic experiments, the activation energy was determined as 35.23 kJ mol^-1, indicating that the adsorption of Acid Red 66 was physical adsorption. The negative Gibbs free energy change (ΔG = -0.548 ~ -7.802 kJ mol^-1) and the positive enthalpy change (ΔH = +109.112 kJ mol^-1) indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process, respectively. The isosteric heat of adsorption increased with the increase of surface loading, indicating lateral interactions between the adsorbed dye molecules.

Although composite construction has many mechanical advantages over noncomposite construction, the design of noncomposite construction for skew bridges with large skew angels has been often checked because composite construction caused large stresses in the bridge deck. But there is somewhat difficulty to apply noncomposite construction in the field because of the structural problem such as the slip at the interface between the concrete deck and steel girders. In this study, the validity of the application of the composite construction to skew angles with large skew angles is investigated by analyzing effects of two interactions such as composite and noncomposite actions between the concrete deck and steel girders on the behavior of skew bridges. A series of parametric studies for the total 27 simply supported skew bridges was conducted with respect to parameters such as girder spacing, skew angle, and deck aspect ratio. The improvement of the behavior of composite skew bridges was examined by using the concept of the stiffness adjustment of bearings which I suggested in previous research. Results of analyses show that a more desirable behavior of skew bridges can be obtained from composite construction instead of noncomposite construction and the method of the stiffness adjustment of bearings results in a more rational and economical design of composite skew bridges and substructures.

In the present study, 2-D consolidation theory of the dredged clay by means of the horizontal drain method is proposed. The horizontal drain method to install the drains such as plastic drain board within the dredged clay is a soil improvement method to accelerate the consolidation by expelling pore water in the vertical direction along the horizontal drains. Based on the finite strain consolidation theory by Gibson et al., the partial differential equation of 2-D consolidation due to the horizontal drain is derived. The consolidation due to the horizontal drain can be illustrated from combined self-weight consolidation effect and consolidation effect by horizontal drains. For the prediction of consolidation settlement and degree of consolidation numerical analysis is suggested on the basis of Dufort-Frankel finite differential algorithm. Also, the analytical procedures proposed in this study are verified by the model tests, and the predictions of the consolidation settlement and degree of consolidation are compared with the results obtained from the tests for the dredged clay gathering at Siwha site in Ansan, Korea. For the predictions, the relationship void ratio vs effective stress and the relationship permeability vs void ratio of the dredged clay are obtained from the odometer tests. Additionally, the parametric study for consolidation settlement by variations of design parameters related with horizontal drain method is carried out. Based on the results of the parametric study, design .charts for the preliminary design are also proposed.

A research was conducted to develop a 2-D nonlinear Galerkin finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures subjected to high temperature with experiments. Algorithms for calculating the closed-form element stiffness for a triangular element with a fully populated material conductance are developed. The validity of the numerical model used in the program is established by comparing the prediction from the computer program with results from full-scale fire resistance tests. Details of fire resistance experiments carried out on reinforced concrete slabs, together with results, are presented. The results obtained from experimental test indicated in that the proposed numerical model and the implemented codes are accurate and reliable. The changes in thermal parameters are discussed from the point of view of changes of structure and chemical composition due to the high temperature exposure. The proposed numerical model takes into account time-varying thermal loads, convection and radiation affected heat fluctuation, and temperature-dependent material properties. Although, this study considered standard fire scenario for reinforced concrete slabs, other time versus temperature relationship can be easily incorporated.

최근 지구온난화와 더불어 이상기후가 대두됨에 따라 기상 예측이 더욱더 중요시되고 있다. 또한 이전부터 가뭄 및 홍수와 같은 기상현상으로 인한 피해 사례가 빈번하였으며, 이로 인하여 물 관리의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 한 예로 이상기후가 유난히 잦았던 2010년 여름철 경우 평년보다 발달한 북태평양고기압의 영향으로 여름철 92일 가운데 81일의 전국 평균기온이 평년보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 강우 일수가 평년에 비해 7.4일 많은 44.2일을 기록하였으며, 국지성 집중호우 사례가 빈번하였다. 또한 8월 9일 발생한 태풍 `뎬무'를 포함해서 한 달 동안 3개의 태풍이 한반도에 영향을 끼치는 이례적인 사례가 발생하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 기상재해에 따른 물 관리를 장기적으로 대비하고자 고해상도 전지구 모델 GME를 이용하여 2010년 여름철 강수 예측을 실시하였다. 강수 예측에 사용된 전지구 모델 GME는 기존의 카테시안 격자체계를 가진 모델과 달리 전구를 삼각형으로 구성된 20면체로 격자화 한 Icosahedral-hexagonal grid 격자체계로 구성되어 있어, 해상도 증가에 용이할 뿐만 아니라, HPC(High Performance Computing)환경에서 효율성이 높은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 계절 예측을 수행함에 있어 발생하는 잡음을 최소화하고자, Time-lag 기법을 이용하여 5개의 앙상블 멤버로 구성되어있으며, 이를 비교 분석하기위해 Climatology를 이용하여 총 10개의 앙상블 멤버로 규준실험을 수행하였다. 선행 연구에 따르면 1개월 이상의 장기 적분의 경우 초기조건보다 외부 강제력이 더 중요한 역할을 한다고 연구된 바 있다. (Yang et al., 1998) 특히 계절 변동성의 경우 대기-해양간의 상호작용에 의해 지배되며, 이를 고려하여 본 연구는 해수면 온도를 경계 자료로 사용하여 계절 예측을 수행하였다. 앞서 말한 실험 계획을 바탕으로 하여 나온 결과를 통해 동아시아지역 및 한반도 도별 강수 및 온도 변수에 대해 순별 및 월별 카테고리맵 분석을 실시하여 한눈에 보기 쉽게 나타냈다. 또한 주요 도시별 강수량 및 온도의 시계열 분석을 실시하여 시간이 지남에 따라 나타나는 변동성을 확인하였다. 계절 예측 결과에서 온도의 경우 평년보다 높게 나타났으며, 이는 실제 온도 예측과도 유사한 패턴을 가졌다, 강수의 경우 7월부터 8월 중순까지 평년보다 다소 적게 모의되었으며, 8월 하순경 회복하는 것으로 예측하였다. 따라서 본 계절 강수 예측은 다소 역학 모델이 가지는 한계를 가지고 있으나, 실제와 비교하여 어느 정도의 경향성이나 패턴에 있어 유사성을 보임을 확인하였으며, 이를 장기적 차원의 물관리를 함에 있어 참고 및 활용 가능할 것으로 예상한다.

Acritical function of a nation is to protect its people's lives and properties from natural disasters such as a drought. A drought affects many aspects of human life, including social, economic, and industrial activities. Approximately 75.7% of reservoirs in Korea are over 50 years old.Sedimentation over the years may have caused a situation where storage capacity of the reservoirs is no longer sufficient and compliant with the original reservoir specifications. This study analyzes storage capacities for ten aged reservoirs using the autonomous navigation USV. It compares these capacities with sediment estimated by conventional empirical equations. Comparisons were made to the original specifications for the reservoirs.Storage capacity of six reservoirs decreased in a range between 16.2%-55.3% and storage capacity of 4 reservoirs increased in a range between 1.5%-380.2%. This data was compared to data derived from estimating sediment by empirical equations. Yoon's equation(1982) appeared more accurate than Sur's equation(1988) in Uhlinzi and Yongpo reservoirs, and Sur's equation(1988), however, appeared more accurate than Yoon's equation in Daegok, Ugok2 and Ochi reservoirs. The significant ranges of sedimentation shown in this study suggest that it is worth continuously surveying reservoirs to ensure their efficient management and operation.

최근 환경부에서는 낙동강 유역의 오염총량관리제도의 시행에 따라 이제까지의 배출구 수질기준으로부터 총량수질기준을 통한 수질관리를 실시하고 있다. 오염총량관리를 실행하기 위해서는 주요지천 및 폐수처리장에서의 수질개선 및 비점오염원 관리가 선행되어야 하는데 이를 효율적으로 제어하기 위해서 낙동강 유역에 적합한 최적 수질해석 모델의 개발이 요구되는 상황이다. 수질모델의 가장 큰 목적은 유역으로부터 발생한 오염물이 하천으로 유입되었을 때 하천 수질 및 생태계의 수학적 표현을 통해 장래의 수질을 예측하고, 예측된 결과에 따라 합리적인 수질관리대책을 수립하는 것이다. 낙동강은 대표적인 수지상 하천망의 형태로서 댐 방류량 및 지류유입량은 본류 수계에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 수질해석의 기본이 되는 수리계산에 매우 중요한 변수가 된다. 또한 대구, 구미, 왜관, 김천 등에서의 오염부하가 금호강, 남강 등의 주요 지류를 통하여 본류부로 유입되고 있으며, 하류부 칠서, 원동, 매리, 물금 등에서는 대량의 하천수를 취수하여 부산, 울산, 마산, 창원 지역 등의 생활 및 공업용수의 원수로 사용하고 있다. 다시 말해서 댐 방류량, 낙동강 하구언의 수위조절, 지류 유입량, 비점원 유입량 등 계산영역 경계에서의 비정상상태의 수리조건과 수질관리 계획에 의해 일률적으로 오염이 부하되는 정상상태의 수질조건이 공존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 적합한 동적 수질모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 수치모형은 갈수저수조건 및 불규칙한 하도단면을 반영하고, 동적 상태의 댐 방류량, 낙동강 하구언의 수위조절 영향, 지류 유입량 등 다양한 하천조건에서 발생하는 동적 흐름을 안정적으로 해석하여 낙동강 수질해석의 신뢰도를 향상시킴으로서 낙동강에 유입된 오염물질이 수계에 미치는 영향을 정확히 분석하고자 하였다. 동적수질해석에 의한 모의결과는 유량의 경우 상류부분은 모의치와 실측치가 잘 일치하지만, 중류 이후 지류의 유입이 많아지면서 지류의 변화를 정확히 입력하지 못해 모의치와 실측치의 차이가 발생한다. BOD의 경우는 수질이 양호한 상류지역은 모의치와 실측치가 잘 일치하지만, 오염원의 유입이 많은 중류지역부터는 실측치와 차이를 나타내다가 하류지역에서 다시 비교적 일치함을 알 수 있다. TN의 경우는 전반적으로 실측치보다 높게 모의되었고, TP는 전반적으로 실측치와 비교하여 잘 모의되었다. 본 연구에서 구축한 동적 수리해석모형 및 동적 수질해석모형은 낙동강 유역에 대해 유량 및 수질 등의 실제 하천의 경향에 비교적 잘 반영하므로 오염물총량규제에 따른 합리적인 하천 수질관리대책을 수립하는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Chang'e-3 consisting of a lunar lander and exploration rover was launched on December 1, 2013 aboard a Long March 3B rocket flying from Xichang space launch center. Chang'e-3 was inserted into the lunar orbit after about a 5-day transit to the Moon and landed on the targeted landing site after orbiting around the Moon for 8 days. The successful landing of the Chang'e-3 gives a lot of help to analyze the future needs of the subsystem technologies and to figure out the trajectory from launch to lunar landing as well as operation sequences in the development of Korean lunar exploration is scheduled. Therefore, the configuration and analysis of overall mission of Chang'e-3 is performed based on the public information from the press and website. As a result, overall mission trajectory is reconstructed by solving boundary condition and then estimating control variable. Visibility status and eclipse status also analyzes so communication and power charge condition is as good as to operate lunar lander. Mass budget of the lander is derived using ${\Delta}V$ according to specific impulse.
