Many construction developers have tried to develop the international PPP (Public-Private Partnership) projects but frequently failed to gain loan investor approval from loan investor. Many of these failures were caused by the risk attitude gaps among project stakeholder. This study aims to compare the risk attitude between the construction investor and loan investor. This study investigated how much differently 21 construction investors and 21 loan investor recognize the risk magnitude corresponding to the same three risk status of 27 risk factors. Construction investors show a more risk-seeking attitude than loan investor in 58 of 81 risk status. Loan investors show a more risk-averse attitude than construction investors in 9 risk factors. These results will contribute to developing the successful PPP project by reducing the risk perception gap between construction investors and loan investors.

This paper presents a bistatic to monostatic conversion technique to analyze the bistatic target strength of submarines. The technique involves determining the transmission path length of acoustic waves, which are emitted from a source, scattered off an underwater target, and eventually received by a receiver. By generating a corresponding virtual scattering surface, this method effectively transforms the target strength analysis problem from bistatic to monostatic. The converted monostatic target strength problem can be assessed using a well-established monostatic numerical methods. The bistatic target strength analysis for Benchmark Target Strength Simulation (BeTTSi), a widely used target strength model were performed. The results were compared with those calculated by boundary element methods and Kirchhoff approximation, and confirmed the validity and the practical applicability of the proposed analysis technique for evaluating submarine target strength.

This study was performed to analyze the degree of rainfalls, the duration time of rainfalls, the inclination of slopes and other damage causes depending on the ground condition, when the landslide occurs by the rainfall. Based on that, a big and a small model soil box were compared to examine the features of landslides, which is ultimately for forecasting landslides. An artificial rainfall device was installed in the model box, and the large model box has a real-size slope in it. Also, various measures were fulfilled such as collapse forms, a pore pressure, an earth pressure and moisture contents in order to analyze the effect of the model box size on the landslide mechanism and to test the usability of a small model box as a material for landslide experiments.

Understanding rain infiltration into the ground is an important feature of landslide risk evaluation. In this study, a landslide risk index for the study area is suggested, wherein the result of the landslide risk evaluation, based on the factor of safety (FS), is used. The landslide risk index is a landslide risk prediction index that utilizes the saturated depth ratio of the ground. Based on the landslide risk result for the study area, it was found that the FS was first to decrease. However, it gradually became convergent over the 50-year rainfall intensity study period, a result that is similar to the relationship between the saturated depth ratio and soil thickness. Moreover, saturated depth was also found to be deeper on gentle slopes than steep slopes. As such, the landslide risk index, based on the Inhu-ri study result, is thus suggested. Additionally, the suggested landslide risk index was compared and analyzed against the rainfall intensity of previous landslide experience. Results thus revealed that almost all landslides that occurred were over 0.7, which is the second grade, based on the landslide risk index.

Every year landslides cause serious casualties and property damages around the world. As the accurate prediction of landslides is important to reduce the fatalities and economic losses, various approaches have been developed to predict them. Prediction methods can be divided into landslide susceptibility analysis, landslide hazard analysis and landslide risk analysis according to the type of the conditioning factors, the predicted level of the landslide dangers, and whether the expected consequence cased by landslides were considered. Landslide susceptibility analyses are mainly based on the available landslide data and consequently, they predict the likelihood of landslide occurrence by considering factors that can induce landslides and analyzing the spatial distribution of these factors. Various qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques have been applied to landslide susceptibility analysis. Recently, quantitative susceptibility analyses have predominantly employed the physically based model due to high predictive capacity. This is because the physically based approaches use physical slope model to analyze slope stability regardless of prior landslide occurrence. This approach can also reproduce the physical processes governing landslide occurrence. This review examines physically based landslide susceptibility analysis approaches.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remote sensing data is a very useful tool for near-real-time identification of landslide affected areas that can occur over a large area due to heavy rains or typhoons. This study aims to develop an effective algorithm for automatically delineating landslide areas from the polarimetric SAR data acquired after the landslide event. To detect landslides from SAR observations, reduction of the speckle effects in the estimation of polarimetric SAR parameters and the orthorectification of geometric distortions on sloping terrain are essential processing steps. Based on the experimental analysis, it was found that the IDAN filter can provide a better estimation of the polarimetric parameters. In addition, it was appropriate to apply orthorectification process after estimating polarimetric parameters in the slant range domain. Furthermore, it was found that the polarimetric entropy is the most appropriate parameters among various polarimetric parameters. Based on those analyses, we proposed an automatic landslide detection algorithm using the histogram thresholding of the polarimetric parameters with the aid of terrain slope information. The landslide detection algorithm was applied to the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 data which observed landslide areas in Japan triggered by Typhoon in September 2011. Experimental results showed that the landslide areas were successfully identified by using the proposed algorithm with a detection rate of about 82% and a false alarm rate of about 3%.

The purpose of this study is to compare men and women's different perceptions on Women engineers' career barriers. In order to achieve the purpose, we initially analyzed various references on perception of career barrier, and organized survey questions. We used the context from Sung sik Lee's doctoral dissertation(2007) and modified it for making survey questions. We conducted a survey with 691 senior students of engineering department around the capital. As a result of the study, male students seemed to be more positive about women's career barriers (social/interpersonal, attitudinal, and interactional barriers). It represents that male students evaluate highly on women's ability and also feel less sensitive about social discrimination toward women's position. In consequence of group interview, it is also revealed that women engineers understand well about difficulties of being female at any workplace.

안동호는 상류지역의 휴·폐광산과 비점오염원으로부터 발생하는 각종 오염물질이 유입되고 있어, 호소 부영양화에 대한 문제가 계속 제기되고 있다. 이러한 안동호의 수환경은 댐 하류 유역과 같은 수계의 임하호의 수환경에도 영향을 미치기 때문에, 안동호 수질 및 수생태 건강성 평가가 계속 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT-WET(Soil ad Water Assessment Tool-Water Ecosystems Tool)을 이용하여, 안동호의 수질 및 수생태 건강성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 안동댐 유역(1,584 km²)을 대상으로 SWAT 모형을 구축하였으며(2010~2019년), 댐의 운영을 고려하여 도산 관측소(안동댐 유입지점)와 안동1 관측소(안동댐 하류지점)의 실측 유량 및 수질(SS, T-N, T-P)에 대한 검보정을 수행하였다. SWAT 검보정 결과, 유유출량의 R², NSE(Nash sutcliffe efficiency)는 각각 0.76, 0.74 이상, SS, T-N, T-P의 R²는 각각 0.71, 0.81, 0.62 이상으로 분석되어 적용성을 확인하였다. 그리고 검보정한 SWAT의 유출량 및 수질 결과를 1차원 수생태계 모델인 WET에서 안동호의 유입자료로 적용하여, 안동호의 수심에 따른 수온, 수질, 저서동물 등의 수환경 결과를 모의할 예정이다. SWAT-WET 모의 결과는 수온, 수질, 저서동물 관측값과 비교하여 SWAT-WET 모델의 적용성을 평가하고, 안동댐의 상류 유출 특성 변화에 따른 안동호의 수질 및 수생태 건강성을 평가할 예정이다.
