The purpose of this study is to estimate the PMP frequency factor for evaluation of the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) in Korea. The value of PMP is the criterion of the determination of design rainfall in Planning and designing hydraulic structures, and water resources management. To obtain the object, 12 key stations were selected in which have the automatic rain0recording paper of 20 years, and the annual maximum rainfall values were calculated for each 7 durations(10 min., 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hr.). The statistics(mean, standard deviation)were estimated, and diagram which shows the relationship between mean annual maximum rainfall($$) and frequency factor for each durations were drawn. PMP was estimated by statistical method using the PMP frequency factor obtained from the diagram and statistics($$, Sn). The PMP-Duration Equation was derived from the envelope curve in order to obtain the PMP for an arbitrary duration. The isohyetal map of 24 hours PMP and PMP. DAD curve for the whole of Korea were drawn in accordance with the point PMP values.

The capacity spectrum method (CSM), which is known to be an approximate technique for assessing the seismic capacity of an existing structure, was originally proposed for simple building structures that could be modeled as single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems. More recently, however, CSM has increasingly been adopted for assessing most bridge structures, as it has many practical advantages. Some studies on this topic are now being performed, and a few results of these have been presented as ground-breaking research. However, studies have until now been limited to symmetrical straight bridges only. This study evaluates the practical applicability of CSM to the evaluation of irregular curved bridges. For this purpose, the seismic capacities of 3-span prestressed concrete bridges with different subtended angles subjected to some recorded earthquakes are compared with a more refined approach based on nonlinear time history analysis. The results of the study show that when used for curved bridges, CSM induces higher inelastic displacement responses than the actual values, and that the gap between the two becomes larger as the subtended angle increases.

We have applied the geophysical survey, mainly electric and electromagnetic (EM) methods, to a test site contaminated by hydrocarbon waste disposal and local spill. The multi-frequency, moving source & receiver EM survey along with ground penetrating radar (GPR) showed a fairly good performance in detection of buried metal pipes and objects. Magnetic survey measuring vertical and horizontal gradients were so sensitive to the small metallic objects spread over the surface that it's hard to discriminate the buried pipe. We chose electrical resistivity, EM and GPR survey to examine the soil contamination. Depth slices of resistivity distribution as the results of the inversion of resistivity and EM data coincided each other and closely matched the contaminated area determined by chemical analysis of the soil samples. GPR images did not show the reflection events related with contamination plume since there are no distinct spill in this site. We inferred the contamination using the penetration depth of the GPR energy, which could be used as auxiliary information to the resistivity and EM results. We summarized the applicability of each survey methods based on this results and proposed a desirable survey scheme for the determination of hydrocarbon contaminated site.

Liquefaction is a significant threat to structures on loose saturated sandy soil deposits in the event of an earthquake, and can often cause catastrophic damage, economic loss, and loss of life. Nevertheless, the Korean peninsula has for a long time been recognized as a safe region with respect to the hazard of liquefaction, as the peninsula is located in a moderate seismicity region, and there have been no reports of liquefaction, with the exception of references in some historical documents. However, some earthquakes that have recently occurred in different parts of the world have led to liquefaction in non-plastic silty soils, a soil type that can be found in many of the western coastal areas of Korea. In this study, we first present procedures for evaluating the liquefaction potential, and calculate the liquefaction potential index (LPI) distribution at two western coastal sites using both piezocone penetration test (CPTu) data and standard penetration test (SPT) data. The LPI is computed by integrating liquefaction potential over a depth of 20m, and provides an estimate of liquefaction-related surface damage. In addition, we compared the LPI values obtained from CPTu and SPT, respectively. Our research found that the CRR values from CPTu were lower than those from the SPT, particularly in the range between 40 and 120 for the corrected tip resistance, (qc1N)CS, from the CPTu, or in the range of CRR less than 0.23, resulting in relatively high LPI values. Moreover, it was observed that the differences in the CRR between the two methods were relatively higher for soils with high fine contents.

LED는 기존의 발광원에 비해 훨씬 높은 파워와 효율성으로 인해 최근 들어 각종 조명이나 교통신호 등에서 사용이 급증하고 있다. LED 재료를 위해 지금까지 여러가지가 연구되어 왔는데, 갈륨 질화물 (Gallium Nitride, GaN)에 기반한 시스템이 최근들어 가장 큰 관심을 받고 있다. GaN 방식은 열적으로 매우 안정성이 있고, 1.9 ~ 6.2 eV 범위의 넓은 밴드의 Gap, 그리고 인듐이나 알루미늄과 결합하여 청, 녹, 백색등의 다양한 빛을 발생할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어 청색 LED는 광학 방식의 기록매체에, 백색 LED는 기존의 조명램프의 대체용으로 활용이 가능하다. 이러한 장점 덕분에 GaN기반 LED 시장은 1994년에 최초로 상용화 된 이래 최근 급격한 성장을 보여 왔다. 그러나 GaN은 다른 III~V 타입의 반도체 재료와는 달리 재료가 성장하기 위해 사파이어와 같은 별도의 기판을 필요로 하는 문제가 있다. 이것은 결국 전위발생과 같은 격자의 부조화 같은 문제를 야기하여 결국 LED의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) 방법이 개발되었는데, 이 방법은 시간당 100 미크론의 매우 빠른 성장속도로 높은 두께의 레이어를 만드는 장점이 있다. 이렇게 성장된 GaN 레이어는 베이스 기판에서 쉽게 분리되어 활용이 가능하다. 그러나 HVPE 기술은 성장 공정에서 두께를 균일하게 만들도록 제어하는 것이 매우 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 따라서 HVPE 방식에서는 이러한 조건을 만족시키기 위해 반응현상에 대한 물리적 해석을 토대로 공정조건을 정밀하게 설계해야 한다. 이를 위해 최근에 실험 또는 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 이러한 공정조건을 향상시키기 위한 여러 연구가 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 연구의 일환으로 반응로에 투입되는 여러 기체의 유량과 존별 주변온도 조건을 입력변수로 하고, 이들이 GaN 성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. HVPE 시스템에서 가장 이상적인 목표는 반응기체가 층류유동을 유지하면서 대부분의 반응이 기판위에서 이뤄지며, 기판위에서 성장되는 재료의 두께가 균일하게 되는 것이다. 입력변수들이 이러한 결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 분석하기 위해 전산유체역학(CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics)을 수행하는 상용코드 FLUENT를 사용하였다. 보다 실제에 가까운 해석을 위해서는 기체간의 화학반응을 포함해야 하나, 해석의 편의와 효율을 위해 본 연구에서는 열 및 유동해석만을 수행하였다. 한편 실제 반응로의 우수성은 성장속도와 두께분포의 균일도를 통해 평가된다. CFD 해석을 통해 이들을 분석하기 위해 기존에 수행한 실험조건을 해석하고 해석결과의 유동패턴/압력분포를 실험결과의 성장속도/두께분포와 비교하고, 이중에서 관련성이 높은 해석결과변수를 우수성 평가에 활용하였다. 기존의 실험결과를 토대로 이러한 중요 결과변수와 함께 이들에 대한 목표값이 도출되고 나면, 입력 공정조건 - 사용기체의 유량과 주변온도 조건 - 에 대해 실험계획(DOE,Design of Experiment)을 수립하고 목표성능을 구현하기 위한 최적설계를 수행할 수 있다. 일반적으로 CFD를 통해 최적의 설계나 공정조건을 탐색하는 작업은 1회의 CFD 계산시간이 매우 오래 소요되기 때문에 쉽지 않다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 CFD와 DOE의 적절한 조합을 통해 적은 수의 해석을 가지고도 원하는 결과를 효율적으로 얻는 것이 가능함을 입증하고자 한다. 본 발표에서는 아직 이러한 연구가 완성되지 않은 시점에서 제반 연구개요를 소개하고 현 시점까지의 연구 결과 및 향후 계획을 소개하고자 한다.

This study presents the emergency assessment method about seismic safety of cable-supported bridges using seismic acceleration sensors installed on the primary structural elements of them. The structural models of bridges are updated iteratively to make their dynamic characteristics to be similar to those of real bridges based on the comparison of their natural frequencies with those of real bridges estimated from acceleration data measured at ordinary times by the seismic acceleration sensor. The displacement at the location of each seismic acceleration sensor is derived by seismic analysis using design earthquake, and the peak value of them is determined as the disaster management criteria in advance. The displacement time history is calculated by the double integration of the acceleration time history which is recorded at each seismic acceleration sensor and filtered by high cut(low pass) and low cut(high pass) filters. Finally, the seismic safety is evaluated by the comparison of the peak value in calculated displacement time history with the disaster management criteria determined in advance. The applicability of proposed methodology is verified by performing the seismic safety assessment of 12 cable-supported bridges using the acceleration data recorded during Gyeongju earthquake.

가뭄은 국민생활 및 경제 등에 막대한 손실을 초래하며, 지역사회 공동체나 사회기능에 심각한 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 재해이다. 가뭄피해 최소화를 위해서는 단기대응, 복구지원 등의 사후대책에서 사전대비 및 예방으로의 정책 전환이 필요하며, 이러한 정책 수립을 뒷받침하기 위해서는 가뭄에 따른 정량적인 피해영향 평가가 우선적으로 필요하다. 하지만 가뭄 피해의 범위 및 형태는 워낙 광범위하기 때문에, 피해추정을 위한 잣대라 할 수 있는 영향평가 기법조차 제대로 정립되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 국내에서는 분야별(기상, 농업, 수문)로 지수화 된 지표를 이용한 가뭄 평가가 주로 수행되고 있으며, 경제적 영향평가는 방법론에 대한 시범 연구 수준이다. 가뭄기록조사 등 과거 가뭄피해 자료에서도 피해액의 금액환산이 되지 않은 사례가 대부분이며 급수차지원, 관정개발 등 사후복구비 위주의 일부 자료만이 피해금액으로 제시되어 있을 뿐이다. 댐, 저수지 등에 의한 용수공급 안정성으로 인해, 기상학적인 가뭄이 즉시 물부족으로 인한 피해로 이어지지는 않지만, 물부족이 발생하거나 부족량이 예측되는 상황에서 피해규모를 시스템적으로 추정 및 비교할 수 있는 기법 개발의 필요성에 의해 잠재피해액 개념의 공급지장비용 추정기법을 개발하였다. 공급지장비용 또는 편익 도출을 위한 이론적 배경으로, 경제적 가치 또는 파급효과를 분석하기 위한 방법은 경제학적 접근법과 비경제학적 접근법으로 구분된다. 경제학적 접근법에서 사용하는 진술선호 기법의 경우 전국을 대상으로 설문 등의 과정을 거쳐 지불의사액을 도출하는 과정이 필요하기 때문에 많은 조사비용이 소요된다. 비경제학적 또는 공학적 접근법으로 분류되는 대체비용법은 이론적 배경이 약하고 대체항목의 선택에 주의가 필요하다는 단점이 있으나, 물가자료, 산업통계, 수자원통계 등 기초자료의 주기적 업데이트가 유리하며, 정신적 피해를 제외할 경우 피해비용 추정결과의 편차가 진술선호기법 보다는 작은 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 피해비용의 과대추정에 유의하여 대체비용법에 기반한 일본 후생노동성의 감 단수피해추정기법을 우리나라 자료에 맞게 수정하여 공급지장비용을 추정하였으며, 경제학적 접근법에 의한 용수의 한계가치비용 등과 비교를 통해 적용성을 검토하였다.

Seokrog and Seokcheong are traditional pigments that have been used as green and blue pigments in Korean traditional coloring heritage. Natural minerals such as malachite and azurite are known as raw materials. Seokrog and Seokcheong are mainly imported from aborad, such as China and Japan, and some blue pigments are reported to have been produced domestically. However, considering the geologic environment where carbonate minerals are difficult to produce, the possibility is not high. Malachite and azurite ores were purchased and analyzed for their composition. The pigments were manufactured by traditional procedure and analyzed to characterize the pigments. The Seokrog pigments had an $L^*$ value of about 59-83, an $a^*$ value of less than -20, and a slightly higher saturation than commercial products. The oil absorption was 22-29 mL/100 g, showing excellent opacity of 99.2 % or more. In the case of Seokcheong pigment, the range of $L^*$ values was 35-65 and $b^*$ values were below -15, indicating relatively lower saturation than commercial products. The oil absorption was 21-26 mL/100 g, showing an excellent opacity of 99.1 % or more like the Seokrog pigment. Azurite ore contain impurities such as malachite and quartz in addition to azurite, and the impurities contained in the pigments derived from azurite ore likely influenced on the characteristics such as their color and oil absorption.

This study aimed to demonstrate that photographic reading can be used to decipher epigraphs more effectively and accurately than conventional rubbing of epigraphy. When using the rubbing technique, the reading rate varies for the each epigraph depending on the time, person, and rubbing method. Thus, we compared the results of conventional rubbing to photographic reading focusing on unread and misread letters. According to the results, some letters were different from those in the reference books, and some letters that could have been readable via photographic reading were misread or read as different letters. In its undamaged state, the Pyeongwangtapbi Monument of Seonggak Daesa is supposed to contain a total of 2,049 letters, and 1,763 of them have been deciphered. This study corrected a total of 308 letters that had not been deciphered or deciphered inconsistently in existing literatures. However, it should be noted that the epigraphs of the Pyeongwangtapbi Monument of Seonggak Daesa read using the rubbing technique were made at least 30-100 years ago, and the photographic reading was performed in 2010. Thus, the overall condition is not perfectly identical. If we read and compare in the same condition, we may obtain even more reliable results. Therefore, based on this study of photographic reading, further studies regarding the correction of the contents of epigraphy should be performed.
