In this study, the behavior of breasting dolphin caused by the maximum wave height in the coastal area of Incheon has been investigated. The dynamic deflection, shear stress and moment of pile are analyzed using the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction resulted from loading tests for different DWT (Dead Weight Tonnage). The dynamic characteristics of pile in accumulated and dredged soils show almost the same pattern. It is shown that the resistance of dolphin to external load increases as the diameter of pile increases. The bettered pile dolphin is more than 10 times stable than the vertical pile type based on the study of dynamic characteristics of dolphin.

The study area is located in the Central Bransfield Basin, Antarctica. To analyze the morphology of seafloor, structure of basement, and seismic stratigraphy of the sedimentary layers, we have acquired, processed, and interpreted the multi-channel seismic data. The northwest-southeastern back-arc extension dramatically changes seafloor morphology, volcanic and fault distribution, and basin structure along the spreading ridges. The northern continental shelf shows a narrow, steep topography. In contrast, the continental shelf or slope in the south, which is connected to the Antarctic Peninsula, has a gentle gradient. Volcanic activities resulted in the formation of large volcanos and basement highs near the spreading center, and small-scale volcanic diapirs on the shelf. A very long, continuous normal fault characterizes the northern shelf, whereas several basinward synthetic faults probably detach into the master fault in the south. Four transfer faults, the northwest-southeastern deep-parallel structures, controlled the complex distributions of the volcanos, normal faults, depocenters, and possibly hydrocarbon provinces in the study area. They have also deformed the basement structure and depositional pattern. Even though the Bransfield Basin was believed to be formed in the Late Cenozoic (about 4 Ma), the hydrocarbon potential may be very high due to thick sediment accumulation, high organic contents, high heat flow resulted from the active tectonics, and adequate traps.

In anteroposterior projection for cervical vertebra, it is general that the incidence angle of X-ray is $15^{\circ}$ to $20^{\circ}$ degrees to head in order to prevent overlap of mandible and occipital bone and to observe array of cervical interbody and shapes of joints. However, the angle is appropriate for foreigners that was determined by foreign literature review long ago, and there have been few researches of incidence angle for Koreans' body type. The purpose of in this study are to identify the incidence angle appropriate for Koreans and to present methodology. In order to measure the incidence angle, 1,044 patients who visited S Hospital located in Seosan were selected and measured of average length of cervical vertebra, OID, axis angle, and FID. The incidence angle was calculated from the applied formula by measuring average values per age groups and sex (see Formula 1 and 2). The average length of cervical vertebra was 6cm: the length was increased from teenagers to twenties but was decreased since thirties. The difference between males and females was around 1cm (p<.01). The OID was almost the same regardless of age groups and sex. As for axis angle, the slope was increased in teenagers and twenties, but was decreased since thirties. The difference between males and females was around 2 degrees (p<.01). The FID measurements were almost the same regardless of age groups and sex, and when the incidence angle was measured from these values, the teenagers were $15.9^{\circ}$, the twenties were $16.9^{\circ}$, the thirties were $16.6^{\circ}$, the forties were $16.2^{\circ}$, the fifties were $15.9^{\circ}$, and the sixties were $14.5^{\circ}$, indicating that the angle was increased from teenagers to the twenties but decreased since the thirties. While the angles of males and females were measured to be the same in the teenagers, the angle was different between males and females by $2^{\circ}$. When the incidence angle statistically analyzed with measurement of average length of cervical vertebra, OID, axis angle, and FID, all of them were shown to have correlations with the incidence angle (p<.01). Conclusively, it was shown that the incidence angle was measured differently from average length of cervical vertebra, OID, FID, and axis slope, as well as from age and sex. Therefore, it can be suggested that the anteroposterior radiation test for cervical vertebra should be conducted by different incidence angles based on age and sex. The data of this study may be used as reference in determining the incidence angle of cervical vertebra tests for the future.

소백산육괴의 동부에 분포하는 영양-울진지역의 선캠브리아기 변성암류는 평해층, 기성층, 원남층, 평해화강편마암, 하다우백질화강편마암 등으로 구성되어 있다(김옥준 외, 1963). 그러나, 최근 김남훈 외(2001, 2002)은 야외조사연구와 암석학적 및 지구화학적 연구를 통하여 주로 변성화산암류로 기재되었던 기성층은 변성화산암류가 아니라 평해층과 원남층에서 산출되는 화강암질편마암과 각섬암 기원의 변성암류가 연성전단변형을 받아 형성된 압쇄암 내지 초압쇄암으로 되어 있고, 기존의 기성층은 변성화산암류와 같이 성분상으로 구분되는 별개의 층이 아닌 구조적으로 만들어진 연성전단대의 중심부일 가능성을 시사한 바가 있다. 본 연구는 연성전단대의 연장성 및 연성전단대 형성과 관련된 지구조운동의 특성을 파악하고, 중첩된 변형구조들의 선후관계로부터 영양-울진지역 선캠브리아기 변성암류에 대한 변형작용사를 규명하기 위해 기성층의 분포지를 중심으로 이 지역 선캠브리아기 변성암류에 대한 상세한 야외지질조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 예천(북후면-평은면)지역을 통과하여 봉화 부근에서 동북동-서남서 방향이 동-서 방향으로 전환하여 장군봉지역까지 연장되는 것으로 알려져 있는 우수 주향 이동성 예천전단대(KIGAM, 1995; 강지훈 외 1997; 강지훈, 2000; 강지훈과 김형식, 2000)는 영양-울진지역까지 연장됨이 확인된다. 또한, 영양-울진지역의 선캠브리아기 변성암류에는 연성전단변형 이전에 적어도 한 번의 습곡작용과 이후에 적어도 두 번의 습곡작용이 인지된다. 각 변형단계별 특징적인 구조요소를 요약하면 다음과 같다. D1 변형: 편마면 내지 편리(S0)가 습곡되어 형성된 F1 습곡은 동-서 방향의 준 수평적인 습곡축을 갖는 뿌리 없는 등사습곡 형태로 인지된다. 양 날개부의 S0 엽리는 F1 습곡축면(S1)으로 완전히 전위된 하나의 엽리(S0-1)로 나타나고, S0-1 엽리는 이 지역의 광역엽리로 인지된다. S0-1 광역엽리는 구성암류의 대상 분포 방향과 유사한 서북서 주향에 북쪽으로 중각 경사하는 집중된 방향성을 보이며 분산되어 나타난다. D2 변형: 변형구조로는 신장선구조, 압쇄구조면, 비대칭습곡 등으로 인지된다. 신장선구조는 S0-1 엽리면상에서 주로 신장된 석영(집합체)과 장석(집합체)들의 정향배열에 의해 정의되고, S0-1 엽리의 주향 방향으로 저각으로 침강하는 집중된 방향성을 보이며 분산되어 나타난다. 신장선구조에 평행하고 S0-1 엽리에 수직한 단면에서는 상부-동쪽-이동의 우수주향 이동성 연성 전단운동감각을 지시하는 구조요소들이 다량 관찰된다. 연성전단변형에 의해 형성된 압쇄구조면은 전단엽리와 압쇄엽리에 각각 해당하는 C면과 S면 등이 인지된다. 전단엽리 C면은 S0-1 광역엽리와 거의 일치하고, 압쇄엽리 S면은 F2 비대칭습곡의 축면엽리와 거의 일치한다. S0-1 엽리를 습곡시키는 F2 비대칭습곡은 S0-1 엽리를 전단면으로 하여 상부-동쪽-이동 전단운동에 의해 형성된 밀착습곡 형태로 인지된다. F2 습곡축은 북동 방향으로 중각 내지 저각 침강하고 F1 습곡축과는 65$^{\circ}$-75$^{\circ}$ 범위의 사이각을 이룬다. F2 습곡축면은 동북동 주향에 북쪽으로 중각으로 경사하고 F1 습곡축면과는 20$^{\circ}$-40$^{\circ}$ 범위의 사이각을 이룬다. D3 변형. S0-1 엽리와 압쇄구조면 등을 습곡시키는 F3 습곡은 준 수평적인 습곡축과 습곡축면을 갖는 개방 횡와습곡의 형태로 인지된다. D4 변형: F4 습곡은 비대칭 공역성 킹크습곡, 공역성 충상단층에 수반되어 나타나는 드래그습곡, 대칭 개방 직림습곡 등의 다양한 습곡 형태로 인지된다. 이들 F4 습곡의 축면엽리는 일반적으로 동-서 주향에 남쪽과 북쪽으로 경사한다. 그 경사각은 비대칭 공역성 킹크습곡(저각), 드래그습곡(중각), 대칭 개방 직립습곡(고각) 순으로 고각을 이룬다. F4 습곡축은 동쪽과 서쪽으로 저각 침강하는 집중된 방향성을 보인다. 공역성 충상단층은 동-서 주향에 남쪽과 북쪽으로 경사하는 단층면과 상부가 북쪽과 남쪽으로 충상하는 운동상을 보인다. 드래그습곡의 축면엽리는 이러한 공역성 충상단층운동의 전단압축방향에 수직으로 발달한다. 이러한 D4 변형구조는 남-북 방향의 압축 지구조 환경하에서 형성된 것으로 고찰된다.

In this paper, an optical touch panel device is newly proposed, with operating principle based on the optical coupling between a pointing pen having a built-in light source and perpendicularly crossed optical waveguide arrays. In order to enable an external light to couple into a waveguide core, the auxiliary pyramidal structures are introduced into all intersecting points located periodically along optical waveguides. The shape is optimized for minimizing the unwanted propagation loss due to the same structure by a ray tracing method. For the optical waveguide with the size of $50{\times}50{\mu}m^2$, the bottom width, height, and slope angle of the optimized pyramidal structure are $50{\mu}m$, $22.5{\mu}m$, and $42^{\circ}$, respectively. The optical coupling efficiency of about 97.8% and the average propagation loss of 0.3 dB/mm were achieved for the optimized touch panel. Finally, it is found from the tolerance analysis that tilting of the pen up to ${\pm}12^{\circ}$ can be allowed.

As the number of underground structures has increased in recent decades, it has become crucial to predict geological hazards ahead of a tunnel face during tunnel construction. Consequently, this study developed a finite element (FE) numerical model to simulate electrical resistivity surveys in tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations for predicting mixed ground conditions in front of tunnel faces. The accuracy of the developed model was verified by comparing the numerical results not only with an analytical solution but also with experimental results. Using the developed model, a series of parametric studies were carried out to estimate the effect of geological conditions and sensor geometric configurations on electrical resistivity measurements. The results of these studies showed that both the interface slope and the difference in electrical resistivity between two different ground formations affect the patterns and variations in electrical resistivity observed during TBM excavation. Furthermore, it was revealed that selecting appropriate sensor spacing and optimizing the location of the electrode array were essential for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of predictions related to mixed ground conditions. In conclusion, the developed model can serve as a powerful and reliable tool for predicting mixed ground conditions during TBM tunneling.

The dextral strike-slip Yecheon Shear Zone of (E)NE-(W)SW trend is developed in the Pukhumyeon-Pyeongeunmyeon area, Gyeongsangbukdo, in the central part of Sobaeksan Massif, Korea which mainly consists of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks and Mesozoic granite. This paper researched the relative formation time, the deformation temperature, and the distribution of ultramylonite zone of Yecheon Shear Zone from the analysis of their deformed rock structures and microstructures. There are the mylonite foliation and stretching lineation by shear deformation, and the (E)SE-vergence gentle plunging, moderately inclined tight fold defined by the gneissosity and mylonite foliation as ductilely deformed main rock structures. Flame perthites, myrmekites, microfractures, microkinks, kinkband, and undulatory extinction are recognized as characteristic microstructures in feldspars during ductile shear deformation. Patterns of c-axis fabrics of recrystallized quartz aggregate display single girdle and type I crossed girdle where the rhomb and basal slip systems are predominant. The shearing senses on sense-of-shear plane show top-to-the-NE and top-to-the-SW on the predominant NW-dipping and subordinate SE-dipping mylonite foliations, respectively. These characteristic rock structures and microstructures suggest that the Yecheon ductile shearing occurred under $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$ deformation temperature after the tight folding. The (E)NE trending ultramylonite zone of Yecheon Shear Zone, which passes through the Pulnobong and the north part of Pakdalsan, is established from the zonal distribution of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks and the grain-size distribution of feldspars in the Precambrian metasedimentary rocks and quartzs in the Mesozoic granite.

On November 15, 2017, a Mw 5.4 Pohang Earthquake occurred at about 4 km hypocenter in the Heunghae area, and caused great damage to Pohang city, Korea. In the Heunghae area, which is the central part of the Pohang Basin, the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Supergroup and the Late Cretaceous to Early Paleogene Bulguksa igneous rocks as basement rocks and the Neogene Yeonil Group as the fillings of the Pohang Basin, are distributed. In this paper, structural and geological researches on the crustal deformations (folds, faults, joints) in the Pohang Basin and the coseismic ground deformations (sand volcanoes, ground cracks, pup-up structures) of Pohang Earthquake were carried out, and the deformation history of the Pohang Basin and characteristics of the coseismic ground deformations were considered. The crustal deformations were formed through at least five deformation stages before the Quaternary faulting: forming stages of the normal-slip (Gokgang fault) faults which strike (N)NE and dip at high angles, and the high-angle joints of E-W trend regionally recognized in Yeonil Group and the faults (sub)parallel to them, and the conjugate normal-slip faults (Heunghae fault and Hyeongsan fault) which strike E-W and dip at middle or low angles and the accompanying E-W folds, and the conjugate strike-slip faults dipped at high angles in which the (N)NW and E-W (NE) striking fault sets show the (reverse) sinistral and dextral strike-slips, respectively, and the conjugate reverse-slip faults in which the NNE and NNW striking fault sets dip at middle angles and the accompanying N-S folds. Sand volcanoes often exhibit linear arrangements (sub)parallel to ground cracks in the coseismic ground deformations. The N-S or (N)NE trending pop-up structures and ground cracks and E-W or (W)NW trending ground were formed by the reverse-slip movement of the earthquake source fault and the accompanying buckling folding of its hanging wall due to the maximum horizontal stress of the Pohang Earthquake source. These structural activities occurred extensively in the Heunghae area, which is at the hanging wall of the earthquake source fault, and caused enormous property damages here.

GIS technique was applied to identify the regional hydrologic units for groundwater exploitation and recharge analysis in a study area. The technique was very effective to identify the potential areas for groundwater exploitation, and for groundwater management & land use planning. GIS database of environmental resources was complied from a variety of sources and scales as the foundation for analysis, including digitizing and scanning of hardcopy maps. A DEM(Digital Elevation Model) was used to dassify slopes, and identify problematic drainage system. Quantitative analysis of environmental resources helps us to develop the scoring system of GIS model, which evaluates each resource in relation to the others and reflects the relative importance of each resource. ARC4NFO was used to construct digital database, and the cartographic simulation techniques were applied in order to create new maps.
