온도 성층화는 많은 저수지와 댐에서 흔히 발생하는 현상으로 호수나 저수지의 표면 온도가 바닥보다 상대적으로 높아 깊이에 따른 열 구배를 나타낸다. 이러한 온도 성층화 현상은 여름철과 같이 상부와 하부의 온도 차가 클수록 안정적이게 나타나며 이러한 층화 현상으로 수직 확산이 제어되어 수질에 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 댐이나 호수 등 층화 현상이 심한 유체 내부 바닥에 물순환장치를 설치하여 외부로부터 공기를 끌어와 하부에서 공기를 분출하여 온도 성층을 약화시키기도 한다. 물순환 장치를 설비하면 수체의 혼합이 용이해지며 물질전달이 개선되어 수질이 향상된다. 국내의 경우 대청댐, 보령댐, 영주 댐 등 많은 국내 댐 내부에 물순환장치가 설비되어있다. 본 연구에서 댐의 물순환장치의 성능을 파악하기 위해 산기식 물순환 장비가 설치되어있는 영주댐을 연구 대상 지역으로 잡았다. 연구지역의 계절별 성층구조 및 특성을 조사하기 위해, 봄, 여름, 가을 영주댐에 방문하여 관측 자료를 취득하였으며 물순환 장치는 봄철의 경우만 가동하였다. 봄철의 물순환 장치 가동 전후 관측 데이터를 바탕으로 수치모형실험을 실행하여 관측 결과와 비교 및 검증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 여름, 가을에 물순환장치를 가동하였을 경우 댐 내부 수체의 혼합과정을 살펴보는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 OpenFOAM(version 4.0)에서 열 전달이 포함되어있는 비압축성 VOF 솔버를 사용하였다. 본 솔버는 물과 공기를 동시에 나타낼 수 있으며 온도의 확산 방정식을 포함하고 있다. 또한 유동해석 수행 시 사용한 물순환장치의 효울은 실제 장치의 효율과 동일하다. 본 연구의 목표는 다음과 같다. (1) 관측만으로 파악하기 어려운 수체의 혼합거동을 유동해석 자료를 통해 면밀히 살펴보고 (2) 봄철 물순환 장치가 작동하기 전후 자료를 바탕으로 여름 및 가을철 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 유동해석 자료로 취득한다. (3) 또한 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 통해 계절별 혼합 효율을 취득한다.

In this paper, we describe the process and method of converting tens of TB of time-varying AMR (adaptive mesh refinement) volume data generated as a result of numerical model simulation into optimized data that can be used for various XR devices. AMR volume data is a useful data format for complex modeling and simulation, and it can efficiently express materials such as star clusters and gases that exist in the very wide outer space used in this study. we analyzes the metadata of AMR data, samples it at low resolution, optimizes information in important areas, and converts it into a data set that can be used even on relatively low performance XR devices. Finally, we introduces how the optimized data was utilized and visualized through the development of immersive XR content using the data set.

The detector consisted of ZnS(Ag) scintillator and photomultiplier tube (PMT) is widely used as contamination monitor in the nuclear facilities. Such detectors are mainly manufactured by adhering the ZnS(Ag) powder onto the transparent plastic. In this study the preparation condition for ZnS(Ag) scintillator sheet using a simple method was established. The scintillator sheet was composed with a support polymer sheet and ZnS(Ag) scintillator layer. The base sheet was prepared by casting the polymer solution after solving the polymer with solvent and the scintillator layer was manufactured by printing the mixture solution with ZnS(Ag) and paste. It was found that the polysulfone(PSf) as a polymer for the base sheet and a cyano resin as a paste for adhering the ZnS(Ag) scintillator was suitable. Also, the prepared thin scintillator sheet had a sufficient mechanical strength, a optical transparency and an alpha-ray detection performance.

The capacity spectrum method (CSM) is a simple and graphical seismic analysis procedure. Originally, it has been developed for buildings, but now its applicability has been extended to bridge structures. It is based on the capacity curve estimated by pushover analysis and demand spectrum reduced from linear elastic design spectrum by using effective damping or strength reduction factor. In this paper, the inelastic demand spectrum as the reduced demand spectrum is calculated from the linear elastic design spectrum by using the several formulas for the strength reduction factor. The effects of the strength reduction factor for the capacity spectrum analysis are evaluated for 3 types of symmetric and asymmetric bridge structures. To investigate an accuracy of the CSM which several formulas for strength reduction factor were applied, the maximum displacements estimated by the CSM are compared with the results obtained by nonlinear time history analysis for 8 artificially generated earthquakes. The maximum displacements estimated by the CSM using the SJ formula among the several strength reduction factors provide the most accurate agreement with those calculated by the inelastic time history analysis.

Flood forecasting is a very important tool as one of nonstructural measures for reduction of flood damages in life and property and its accuracy is also an important factor. However, when we apply the Storage Function Model(SFM) which is mainly used for the flood forecasting system in Korea, the determination of the parameters is very important but it is difficult. So, the parameters have been calibrated by using an empirical formulas and judgement of hydrologist. Hence, in this study we perform the sensitivity analysis to understand the parameter characteristics and establish the ranges of parameters of the SFM. Also we do the parameter calibration by using the optimization techniques and objective functions, and evaluate their performances. Especially, we suggest a method to determine proper parameters by using a objective function which can be obtained from flood events. So, we use the suggested method for parameter estimation and compare the estimated parameters with the previously reported parameters. As a result of the application, the estimated parameters by the suggested method showed better than them from the previously reported parameters.

The panels are used as a composite part of the completed deck. They replace the main bottom transverse deck reinforcement and also serve as a form surface for the cast-in-place concrete upper layer that contains the top of deck reinforcement. In this paper, three types of the detail for joints was selected and their structural performance in terms of strength and crack contral was investigated through static tests on composite beams. Form the results, the validity of loop joints for continuity of half-depth precast deck was observed and especially an overlapping length of loop joint and transverse reinforcement were checked. The results suggest that increasing the loop overlapping length increases the flexural strength of half-depth precast deck with loop joints. In terms of crack contral, the loop joint with transverse reinforcement showed better performance.

A 9-node degenerated shell finite element(FE), which has been developed for assessment of ultimate pressure capacity and nonlinear analysis for nuclear containment building is described in this paper. Reissner-Midnlin(RM) assumptions are adopted to develop the shell FE so that transverse shear deformation effects is considered. Material model for concrete prior to cracking is constructed based on the equivalent stress-equivalent strain relationship. Tension stiffening model, shear transfer mechanism and compressive strength reduction model are used to model the material behavior of concrete after cracking. Niwa and Aoyagi-Yamada failure criteria have been adapted to find initial cracking point in compression-tension and tension-tension region, respectively. Finally, the performance of the developed program is tested and demonstrated with several examples. From the numerical tests, the present results show a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

The market for eco-friendly food materials by online distribution is rapidly growing due to major environmental pollution such as air, soil, and water quality, and radical changes in living patterns caused by COVID-19. In addition, because of the aging population and the decrease in agricultural-related population due to social structural changes, aquaponics is emerging as a system that can solve problems such as independence of old economic activities, environmental protection, and securing healthy and safe food. This paper aims to design an intelligent plant growth measurement system among intelligent aquaponics production management modules for optimal growth environment derivation and quantitative production prediction by converging various ICT technologies into existing aquaponics systems. In particular, the focus is on designing systems suitable for production sites that do not have high-performance processing resources, and we propose a module configuration plan for production environments and training data and prediction systems.

Rock blasting is utilized in various fields such as mining, tunneling, and the construction of underground structures. The role of rock blasting technology has became increasingly significant with the growing utilization of underground cavity. Blast hole pressure, generated during rock blasting, is a critical variable directly impacting factors such as crushing and blast vibration. It stands out as one of the most important parameters for assessing explosive performance and predicting blasting effects. While blast hole pressure has been studied by several researches, comparisons are challenging due to variations in experimental conditions such as explosive type, charge, and blasting conditions. In this study, blast hole pressure sensors and observation hole pressure sensors were developed to measure pressure during single-hole blasting, The experimental results were then used to discuss the propagation characteristics of pressure around the blast hole and the corresponding blast vibration.
