Decay or large cavities inside trees are the main causes of trees overturning and broken branches, and structurally weakened trees are more vulnerable to strong winds and heavy snowfall. Recently, as strong winds and typhoons increase due to climate change, the damage to human life and property due to trees overturning continues to increase, and cultural assets are in a similar situation. In particular, old big trees are structurally vulnerable to external shocks such as strong winds and heavy snowfall. This study was aimed at providing a scientific basis for preventive protection measures by conducting a structural stability diagnosis of seven retusa fringe trees designated as natural monuments. For the structural stability diagnosis, tree risk assessment and internal tree defect measurements were performed. As a result of the tree risk assessment, the Retusa Fringe Trees in Sinjeon-ri, Yangsan and Gwangyangeupsu had the highest risk of broken branches due to weak branch attachment strength. As a result of the diagnosis of internal defects of cross sections of measured trees, there were suspected cavities or severe decay in all except two trees of the population of Retusa Fringe Trees in Pyeongji-ri. Natural disasters due to climate change are increasing, and the scale is getting larger, so it is very important to preemptively manage large old trees through scientific structural safety diagnosis to manage trees that are vulnerable to environmental changes.

산업의 발달과 건설재료의 개발 및 설계 시공 기술의 급속한 발전으로 더 가볍고 더 긴 경간을 가진 교량이 건설되고 있다. 그러나 교량이 더 길어지고 가벼워질수록 풍하중에 의한 영향은 더욱 크게 받게 되어 여러 종류의 피해를 입게 된다. 이제는 어느 정도 잘 알려진 1940년에 발생한 Tacoma Narrow교의 붕괴사고는 내풍 설계의 필요성을 극단적으로 보여주는 대표적인 예로서 본격적인 내풍 공학 연구에 시발점이 되었다. 현재까지 아직 시공은 되지 않았으나 기본 설계 및 내풍안정성 평가가 완료되 주경간장 3,300m의 Messina교 및 2,800m의 일본해협횡단도로 프로젝트 초장대 현수교(안)의 출현까지 짧은 기간 동안 비약적인 기술 성장을 이루고 있다. 장대교량의 설계시 많은 풍동실험을 거쳐서 내풍안정성이 뛰어난 단면을 찾게 된다. Akashi교의 경우에도 트러스, 싱글박스, 트윈박스 등의 다양한 단면에 대한 풍동실험을 수행한 끝에 최종적으로 트러스 단면을 선택하였다. Great Belt교에서는 싱글박스 단면을 대상으로 다양한 단부 각도에 대한 결과를 바탕으로 최종 단면을 선정하였다. Stonecutter 교에는 트윈박스를 채용하여 기존 싱글박스를 뛰어넘는 도약을 단행하였다. 그리고 Messina교의 경우에는 약 20년에 걸쳐서 설계를 진행해 오면서 점진적으로 단면을 개선하여 최종적으로 트리플박스 단면을 채택하였다. 국내에서도 광양대교의 설계시 싱글박스에서 시작하여 트윈박스의 간격 최적화를 통하여 최종단면을 도출하였다. Akashi교는 최장경간장을 자랑하지만 고전적인 트러스 단면을 사용함으로써 Great Belt교, Stonecutter교, Messina교 등과 같이 혁신적인 단면을 채택한 교량에 비하여 상대적으로 기술적 가치를 인정받지 못하고 있다. 따라서 새로운 내풍 단면의 개발은 교량 설계를 위한 실용적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 경제적이고 내풍안정성이 우수한 도전적인 현수교 단면을 개발하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 먼저 교량 계획 단계에 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위하여 기존 강박스 현수교의 제원을 수집하고 그 특성을 분석하여 각종 구조 변수들이 내풍안정성에 미치는 상대적인 영향을 평가하고, 근사적으로 고유진동수를 추정할 수 있는 추정식을 제시하였다. 그 다음으로 초장대 현수교 단면을 개발하기 위하여 다양한 풍동실험을 수행하고 가능한 단면 형상을 제시하였다.

Recently the construction of bridges crossing navigable waterways is being promoted aiming at expanding social infrastructure and optimizing the overland routes through private investment. The construction, however, tends to focus on more the commercial requirements than the marine safety and efficient port management that it has a big risk not only to fail in ensuring the safety of ship traffic, but also to muse some severe conflicts between the parties concerned. These problems result from the lacking of standards about the design guidelines and discussing process considering the marine traffic safety when designing bridges. This research attempts to show the problems mused by bridge construction and suggest the standard discussing process through the survey and process analysis on Kwangyang Bridge and Incheon Bridge.

In general, the shear strength of a clay specimen under the direct shear test and the triaxial compression test increases with an increase in the shear rate. This study investigates the effects of shear rate and silt content on the stress-strain behavior of remolded Gwangyang clay, by changing the shear rate and the silt content. Based on the results of the triaxial compression tests, the equi-strain line of remolded Gwangyang clay shows initially positive slope and then becomes flat at certain strain level. As the strain level where the equistrain becomes flat is different depending on the soil with different silt contents, this can be considered as the inherent property of soil.

Tropospheric ozone data in Korea for 1998-2002 were analyzed to assess the impact on vegetation. SUM06(sum of hourly concentrations at or above 0.06 ppm) and AOT40(accumulated exposure over a threshold of 40 ppb), widely used as ozone indices in the U.S. and Europe, were calculated based on hourly ozone concentration in 612 areas during 1998-2002 in Korea. SUM06 of the highest 30 areas were 5-12 ppm/hr which were almost the same levels of the U.S. average, and a crop loss of 5% would be expected. Ozone pollution in Seoul during 1998-2002 had decreased compared to that for 1990-97 except in the Northern area; however, ozone pollution in Kyunggi during 1998-2002 had been increased twice compare to the previous 5 years. Korea was divided into four regions: Seoul Metropolitan area, Jungbu, Honam, and Youngnam. Ozone pollution in the Seoul Metropolitan area was much higher during 1998-2000 than the other areas, but ozone pollution during 2001-2002 was almost the same in all four regions. Chunnam-Kwangyang na Kyungbuk-Gumi, famous industrial complexes in southern Korea, were significant ozone pollution areas. However, other industrial complexes, such as Incheon, Ulsan, and Kyunggi-Sihwa, were not polluted compared to their neighbors. Comparing all ozone indices, SUM06(yr), SUM06(3mon), AOT40(yr), AOT40(3mon), number of hours exceeding 100 ppb, 95 percentile, 99 percentile, and maximum concentration, it was determined reasonable to use SUM06(3mon), AOT40(3mon) and number of hours exceeding 100 ppb for evaluation of the chronic impact of ozone on vegetation.

In this study, we investigated the grinding and sedimentation(elutriation) process of the dusts for the effective separation of high purity iron and iron oxides. For characterization of the dust, particle size distribution and chemical composition, were examined. The results obtained in this study may be summarized as follows : 1. The converter CF(clarifier) dust of the Pohang 1st, 2nd steel making factory and EC(Evaporation Cooler), EP(Eltrostatic precititator) dust of the Kwangyang 2nd steel making factory are composed $\alpha$-Fe(21~50%), FeO(wustite)$Fe_3$$O_4$(magnetite), $Fe_2$$O_3$, CaO, $Al_2$$O_3$, $SiO_2$, and etc. 2. Pure iron has ductile characteristic in nature, particle size of the pure iron increase by increasing the grinding time. On the other hand, it is conformed that bo고 particles of hematite and magnetite become less than 325 mesh after 10 minutes grinding. 3. By applying the elutriation technique for the EC dust of the Kwangyang 2nd steel making factory, the iron powder of high content more than 99.17% of pure Fe was recovered with 37.8% yield at grinding time for 40 minutes. 4. By applying the elutriation technique for the CF dust of the Pohang 2nd steel making factory, the iron powder of high content more than 98.38% of pure Fe was recovered with 44.42% yield at grinding time for 40 minutes. 5. When magnetic separation was performed using plastic bonding magnet of 70 gauss, more than 98% Fe grade of iron powder was recovered in the size range +65 -200 mesh but the recovery of it was low.

The study was carried out to devise a proper measure to increase the income of mountain villagers by producing sap water of Acer mono, and to make the most of sap water as local specialty to contribute to the local economy of mountain villages. All the processes from collecting to marketing of sap water of Acer mono was investigated. The survey was done from mid-January to mid-February in the 3 major sap water collecting regions, Toji-myon Kurey-gun(Piagol area of Mt. Chiri), Okryong-myon Kwangyang city(Mt. Baekun), and Jookhack-ri Sunchon(Mt. Chokey). A total of 90 householders who collect sap water, to say again, 30 householders in each region, were interviewed personally to make up questionnaires. The habitual or general practices about collecting sap water, the selling price, the sales process, labor power to collect and carry down, carrying distance and facilities, sales income and side income, and family income were investigated and examined. Spots of collecting sap water were not concentrated but scattered all over the collecting area. Collecting method, collecting amount, sales process, and selling price varied with the village and region. Sap water was collected by tapping or boring method, the latter of which was widely used in lots of regions except in Sunchon. Although the amount of sap production per family varied with region, the average amount was about 1,350 liters. Of all the sap water collected, 44% was consumed by drinking of on-the-spot visitors and 36% was sold by order, etc. Sap water was sold at the price varying from 10,000 won to 60,000 won per 18 liters. The average selling price was 41,000 won, but selling prices of 43,000 won and 45,000 wan amounted to 38% and 25%, respectively.
