Analysis and results of the relationship between the NDVI and terrain element such as elevation, slope, aspect in Chunahn city area are as follows. It does not show the linear relationship between NDVI and analyzed terrain element such as elevation, slope, aspect, etc. and there is a trend such that the deviation of NDVI is decreased as the elevation and slope is increased. It appears that there is trends such that the distribution range of NDVI is discontinuously changed as the elevation and slope is increased. The distribution range of NDVI is discontinuously decreased based on about 50m and 100m borderline in elevation case, and slope $10{\sim}20^{\circ}$ borderline in slope case, respectively. Any special trend is discovered in the relationship between aspect and NDVI.

Passive force acting on the kicker block used to support a raker is different dependent on soil's type. The passive force incorporating a factor of safety is considered for design of the retaining wall. However, an actual passive force developing on the kicker block is overestimated and it may lead to an unsafe design. In this study, the actual passive forces acting on the kicker block in soil ground are evaluated using 3-D Finite Element Program, PLAXIS. Soft and weathered soils are selected as a soil ground. The relation curves between horizontal displacement and actual passive force of the kicker block for each soil ground are obtained through numerical analyses. From the curves, the actual passive forces are determined as a yielding point, which are about 55.5% and 66% of Rankine's passive forces in soft and weathered soils, respectively.

낙동강 하류구간인 남강합류점에서 낙동강하구둑까지는 하상경사가 약 1/10,000보다 작은 매우 완만한 경사를 이루고 있으므로 홍수기 고수위를 장시간 유지하는 등 홍수소통에 불리한 조건을 가지고 있다. 이처럼 하상경사가 매우 완만한 하천에서는 홍수파의 전파 특성이 하상경사, 수심경사, 그리고 이송가속도와 국부가속도 경사 등 운동량 방정식의 각 항 모두에 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 낙동강 하류구간의 홍수분석 정확도 개선을 위해서는 대상구간에 유입하는 홍수수문량의 크기 및 변화를 정확히 반영하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 하천 본류로 유입하는 지류의 홍수량을 산정하는 보편적인 방법은 지류 하류의 수위관측소에서 구축된 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용하는 것이다. 그러나 본류 수위의 배수영향을 받는 지류 하류 구간에서는 단일 수위-유량관계의 결정이 불가능하므로 지류 유출량 산정을 위한 새로운 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하류구간(창녕 함안보~낙동강하구둑) 유역면적의 약 45% 이상을 차지하는 밀양강 유역의 홍수기 유출량 산정을 위하여 HPG(Hydraulic Performance Graph)를 이용하였다. HPG는 배수영향을 받아 시시각각 수리특성이 변화하는 구간에서도 유량 및 상하류 수위 등 수리특성 추정에 합리적인 결과를 제공하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 2012년 태풍 산바 사상을 대상으로 HPG를 이용하여 산정한 밀양강 홍수량과 기존 수위-유량관계로 산정한 홍수량을 각각 경계조건으로 사용한 경우로 구분하여, 낙동강 하류구간 주요 지점인 삼랑진과 구포의 홍수위 예측 정확도를 비교하였다. 비교결과, 기존 방법과 HPG를 이용한 방법 모두 예측시점이 첨두발생 시각에 가까워질수록 평균오차가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 기존 방법은 예측시점에 따라 평균오차의 변화가 단조롭지 않고 진동이 발생한 반면, HPG를 이용한 방법은 기존 방법보다 오차의 감소가 단조롭고 지속적인 것으로 나타났으며 평균오차 또한 작았다. 본 연구결과, 배수영향을 받는 지류 하류구간에서 HPG를 이용한 유입량 산정은 본류 홍수위 예측 정확도 개선을 위한 경제적인 대안이 될 것으로 판단된다.

This study employs three-dimensional simulation through FLAC3D to investigate the impact of installation angles on the dynamic characteristics of Triaxial Micropiles. The numerical model is validated against centrifuge test results to ensure accuracy. The findings reveal significant influences of the installation angle on the dynamic behavior of Triaxial Micropiles. Specifically, under seismic conditions such as the Capetown and San Fernando earthquakes, the lowest recorded values for peak bending moment and settlement occurred at an installation angle of 15 degrees. In contrast, when subjected to an artificial earthquake with a frequency of 2 Hz (Sine 2 Hz), Micropiles installed at 0 degrees exhibited the lowest peak bending moment, maximum axial load, and settlement values.

This numerical study is to investigate the seepage characteristics of the side of the structure in the event of leakage from the structural connection part of the drainage structure installed through the enlarged levee, and to analyze the effect of piping on the stabilization of the levee by the lateral penetration behavior. To take into account lateral seepage behavior, 2D and 3D numerical analyses were performed on the same model, and the effect of lateral seepage was analyzed to assess the validity of the numerical analysis. As a result, when leakage occurs and a lateral seepage is considered with the gate located on the riverside land, the maximum pore water pressure near the leakage point of the structure has been reduced by half compared to the normal seepage state where no leakage occurred. Excessive variation in the pore pressure was shown at the lower part of the structure, especially if lateral seepage is not considered. As a water level rises to the high water level, it shows the hydraulic gradient was larger than the critical hydraulic gradient, which will be vulnerable to long-term piping. If a gate is located in the inland and side seepage is not considered, the effect of the seepage water such as hydraulic gradient and seepage velocity is underestimated compared with the case of considering side seepage. The maximum hydraulic gradient is relatively small when lateral seepage is neglected if a gate is located in the riverside land and there was might be a risk of piping or loss of material. In addition, the period exceeding the critical hydraulic gradient was interpreted as a short time zone. As a result, it is considered that the possibility of piping can be underestimated if side seepage is ignored.

The purpose of this study is to propose the angle-limit of the escape ramp by analyzing the frog behavior characteristics according to the inclination angle of the waterway escape ramp installed in the concrete U-bench plume pipe channel. Forthe experiment, an escape test device was manufactured with the same shape and number of materials applied in the field. And Rana coreana living in paddy wetlands were sel selected. The main behaviors of frogs on the slope were 'jumping', 'crawling' and 'slipping', and afterrecording the behavioralresults according to the inclination angle, statistical analysis was conducted using the chi-square test method. As a result of the analysis, there was no statistically significant difference between 30° and 40°. This result is an evidence for expanding the standard of inclination angle 30° suggested in the 'Guidelines for Installation and Management of Ecological Pathways' to a maximum of 40°. However, further research is required in that the escape ramp targets not only Korean frogs but also various small wild animals. However, considering that various wild animals are affected by artificial canals, additional studies using various target wild animals are needed.

Reinforced concrete beams of existing structure often encounter insufficient shear problems for various reasons. Application of steel plates is one of widely used methods for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams that are insufficient of shear capacity. This study presents test results on strengthening shear deficient RC beams by external bonding of vertical and diagonal slit type steel plates with anchor bolt. Test parameters are width, interval, angle and length of slits with anchor bolt. The purpose was to evaluate the failure modes and shear capacities for RC beams strengthened by various slit type steel plates with anchor bolt. The results showed that the slit type steel plate specimens strengthened by adhesive bonding and bolting failed in shear fracture modes at maximum load. Flexural crack first occurred on the tension face of beam and then inclined cracks occurred on the shear span. Finally, slit type steel plates strengthened by adhesive bonding and fastening bolts managed to delay abrupt debonding and didn't detach fully from main body of RC beam.

Since the preexisting evaluation methods of landslide susceptibility take somehow long time to determine the slope stability based on the field survey and laboratory analysis, there are several problems to acquire immediate evaluation results in the field. In order to overcome the previously mentioned problems and incorrect evaluation results induced by some subjective evaluation criteria and methods, this study tried to develop a method of landslide susceptibility by a quantitative and objective evaluation approach based on the field survey. Therefore, this study developed an evaluation chart for landslide susceptibility on natural terrain using the AHP analysis method to predict landslide hazards on the field sites. The AHP analysis was performed by a questionnaire to several specialists who understands mechanism and influential factors of landslide. Based on the questionnaire, weighting values of criteria and alternatives to influence landslide triggering were determined by the AHP analysis. According to the scoring results of the analysed weighting values, slope angle is the most significant factor. Permeability, water contents, porosity, lithology, and elevation have the significance to the landslide susceptibility in a descending order. Based on the assigned scores of each criterion and alternatives of the criteria, an evaluation chart for landslide susceptibility was suggested. The evaluation chart makes it possible for a geologist to evaluate landslide susceptibility with a total score summed up each alternative score.
