As research on a controlled environment system based on crop growth environment sensing for sustainable production of horticultural crops and its industrial use has been important, research on how to properly utilize soil moisture sensors for outdoor cultivation is being actively conducted. This experiment was conducted to suggest the proper method of utilizing the TEROS 12, an FDR (frequency domain reflectometry) sensor, which is frequently used in industry and research fields, for each orchard soil in three regions in Korea. We collected soils from each orchard where fruit trees were grown, investigated the soil characteristics and soil water retention curve, and compared TEROS 12 sensor calibration equations to correlate the sensor output to the corresponding soil volumetric water content through linear and cubic regressions for each soil sample. The estimated value from the calibration equation provided by the manufacturer was also compared. The soil collected from all three orchards showed different soil characteristics and volumetric water content values by each soil water retention level across the soil samples. In addition, the cubic calibration equation for TEROS 12 sensor showed the highest coefficient of determination higher than 0.95, and the lowest RMSE for all soil samples. When estimating volumetric water contents from TEROS 12 sensor output using the calibration equation provided by the manufacturer, their calculated volumetric water contents were lower than the actual volumetric water contents, with the difference up to 0.09-0.17 m³·m^-3 depending on the soil samples, indicating an appropriate calibration for each soil should be preceded before FDR sensor utilization. Also, there was a difference in the range of soil volumetric water content corresponding to the soil water retention levels across the soil samples, suggesting that the soil water retention information should be required to properly interpret the volumetric water content value of the soil. Moreover, soil with a high content of sand had a relatively narrow range of volumetric water contents for irrigation, thus reducing the accuracy of an FDR sensor measurement. In conclusion, analyzing soil water retention characteristics of the target soil and the soil-specific calibration would be necessary to properly quantify the soil water status and determine their adequate irrigation point using an FDR sensor.

A transformation methode of the chromaticity coordinates was proposed to calibrate the measured data obtained by a urine analysis system which implemented in our previous study. Generally. the reacted color of a reagent strip by urine analysis system often exhibit the color distortions due to nonlinear characteristics of the various devices that is the optic module mechanism. hardware, and surround circumstance. A color correction method for minimizing the color distortion play a few role in maintaining high accuracy and reproduction of the urine analysis system. In this work, we used the compensation method such as the shading correction, the characteristic curve extraction of RGB color by means of third order spline interpolation, and linear transformation using a reference color. In addition, 1931 CIE XYZ color space was used to compensate the color of the measured data by a standard reference system as colorimeter. A compensation matrix was obtained so that the output values of the urine analysis system is nearly equal to that of a standard reference system for identical color sample. Color correction obtained by a urine analysis system which implemented in our previous study exhibited a good color accuracy when it was compared with the reference data. Observed result from an experiments on ten items or a urinalysis strip that color difference or between two urine analysis system was 1.28.

This is a study on large-scale rock joint roughness measurements using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) and the Split-FX point cloud processing software. The large-scale rock Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) is calculated using the maximum amplitude of joint asperities over the profile length on large-scale Joint surfaces of rock. As the profile length increases, JRC decreases due to scale-effects of rock specimens and is non-stationary. Also JRC shows anisotropy depending on the profile direction. The profile direction is measured relative to either dip or strike of the large-scale joint.

By using CR image pixel data, We examined the way how to calculate the MTF and digital characteristic curve. It can be changed to the text-file(Excel) from a pixel data which was printed with a digital x-ray equipment. In this place, We described the way how to figure out and correct the sharpness of a digital images of the MTF from FUJITA. Excel program was utilized to calculate from radiography of slit. Digital characteristic curve, Line Spread Function, Discrete Fourier Transform, Fast Fourier Transform digital specification curve, were indicated in regular sequence. A big advantage of this method, It can be understood easily and you can get results without costly program and without full knowledge of computer language. It shows many different values by using different correction methods. Therefore we need to be handy with appropriate correction method and we should try many experiments to get a precise MTF figures.

대상유역의 합리적인 홍수량 산정을 위해서는 풍부한 홍수자료를 바탕으로 직접적인 빈도해석을 적용하는 것이 가장 적정한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 국내의 대부분 유역은 관측된 홍수 자료가 제한적이고, 미계측 유역이므로 빈도해석을 통한 홍수량의 산정은 현실적으로 불가능한 실정이다. 이에 국내에서는 홍수량 산정에 대한 대안으로 강우-유출관계의 선형성을 가정한 집중형 강우-유출모형을 적용하고 있다. 하지만 집중형 강우-유출모형은 경험적인 공식에 의해 결정되는 수문매개변수의 비합리성 및 유역분할, 유역 하도추적의 구축방식에 따라 상이한 홍수량이 산정되는 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 따라서 최근에는 경험적이고 개념적인 집중형 유출모형을 지양하고, 격자체계를 기반으로 하고 있는 분포형 강우-유출모형의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구의 목적은 남강 유역에서의 분포형 강우-유출모형 적용성 검증에 있다. 따라서 남강 유역 내에 발생한 4개의 호우사상을 선정한 후 강우 레이더 영상인 CAPPI영상 및 C-Max영상을 이용하여 면적강우량을 산정하였다. C-Max 영상을 이용하여 산정된 면적강우량은 지점강우를 이용한 면적강우량과 비교해 130%이상 과대 산정되는 경향을 나타낸 반면, CAPPI 영상을 이용하여 산정된 면적강우량은 10%이하의 오차를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CAPPI 영상을 분포형 유출 모형인 VfloTM에 입력하여 유출을 모의 하였다. 모의된 유출곡선과 관측된 유출곡선을 비교 검토한 결과 80%이상의 높은 상관성을 나타낸 반면 첨두유출량 오차는 30%이상의 오차를 나타내었다. 하지만 강우보정기법인 G/R보정 기법을 적용한 후에는 첨두유출량 오차가 10%미만으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 남강 유역에 분포형 유출모형을 적용하기 위해서는 다양한 강우 사상에 대한 지속적인 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Wave velocity was measured to define the weathering characteristics of rock and the strength evaluation of weathered rock on a target of the Aso gravestones with various sizes under the natural environment. As a result, the size correction method which was changed sample of the different size to one of the same size for evaluating wave velocity was proposed, and also suggested the NET (Normalized Elapsed Time) as a new weathering index of rock. In addition, the strength of the weathered rock was estimated from the weathering classification of rock using the NET. Wave velocity of welded tuff was high and didn't show velocity degradation, on the other hand, one of andesite was low and showed velocity degradation. The degree of weathering between rocks of the different size is considered to be comparable, applying the NET based on the on the $V_p/V_o$-NET curve. Furthermore, the classification of rock weathering stages using the NET based on the $S_c/S_o$-NET curve was available, and the estimation of strength for the weathered rock was also possible.

Water hammer following the tripping of pumps can lead to overpressures and negative pressures. Reduction in overpressure and negative pressure may be necessary to avoid failure, to improve the efficiency of operation and to avoid fatigue of system components. The field tests on the water hammer have been conducted on the pump rising pipeline system with an air chamber. The hydraulic transient is modeled using the method of characteristics. Minimizing the least squares problem representing the difference between the measured and predicted transient response in the system performs the calibration of the simulation program. Among the input variables used in the water hammer analysis, the effects of the polytropic exponent, the discharge coefficient and the wave speed on the result of the numerical analysis were examined. The computer program developed in this study will be useful in designing the optimum parameters of an air chamber for the real pump pipeline system. The correct selection of air chamber size and the effects of related parameters to minimize water hammer have been investigated by both field measurements and numerical modeling.

하천의 유량 자료는 하천 관리에 필수적인 요소로, 지속적인 유량측정을 위해 국가 유량 측정망을 구성하여 주요 지점을 대상으로 유량 측정을 수행하고 있다. 측정된 유량자료는 일반적으로 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하여 제공되고 있으며, 홍수파와 배수 영향 등으로 인해 수위-유량 관계곡선식에서 발생하는 산포로 인한 신뢰도에 문제가 우려되는 경우에는 실시간의 정확한 유량자료를 제공하기 위해 H-ADCP를 설치하여 지표유속법 기반의 실시간 유량 자료 생산하여 제공하고 있다. 그러나 H-ADCP를 이용한 유량 측정 방법은 장비의 한계로 인해 상대적으로 규모가 작고 수심이 얕은 하천에 적용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 따라서, 최근에는 자동유량관측소 지점 확대를 위해 비접촉식 유속계를 활용한 자동유량관측소 운영이 점차 고려되고 있다. 이에 따라 비접촉식유속계를 이용한 유량 측정 결과의 검증 및 유지 관리를 위한 소프트웨어가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 비접촉식유속계 중 전자파를 이용하여 수표면의 표면유속을 측정할 수 있는 장비인 RQ-30의 측정결과를 분석하기 위해 Microsoft Visual Studio(C#) 사용하여 측정결과의 검토 및 자료 관리를 위한 후처리 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 개발한 소프트웨어는 측정 원시자료를 읽고, 도시하여 측정 결과를 확인할 수 있으며, 머신러닝 기반의 알고리즘을 적용하여 수위 및 유속 시계열 자료에서 발생하는 이상치를 탐색할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 그리고 탐지된 이상치에 대한 보정을 위해 선형보간, LOESS, SuperSmoother를 사용하여 이상치를 보정하여 결과를 도출할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 추후 본 연구를 통해 개발된 프로그램을 활용하여 측정 자료의 유지 관리 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 지속적인 프로그램의 개선을 통해서 실무적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a dynamic numerical model, FLDWAV, is used for analyzing the backwater effect of flood stage in YeongWeol station, which is located on the confluence upstream where Pyeongchang river joins Han river. Given various inflow discharges of both main stream and tributary, the feasible stage-discharge relationships at the YeongWeol station and the upstream range of the backwater effect were computed. The results show that the relationships are completely different according to each of the inflow discharges from tributary and the maximum difference of stage is about 4.0 m. Therefore, the development of a single relationship of stage and discharge is very difficult problem in the zone of backwater effect. The increase of stage in the junction due to the lateral inflow has an effect on upstream stage up to about 8.0 km. The well-calibrated and verified dynamic wave routing model will be a useful tool for the flood forecast in the zone of backwater effect rather than conventional hydrological routing model.

In this study, the dynamic behavior of a single pile foundation was investigated by using an analytical and numerical studies. The emphasis was given on quantifying a function about the coefficient of dynamic horizontal subgrade reaction from 3D analysis. Based on the numerical analysis, a modified correction factor (α), which is used to obtain the coefficient dynamic horizontal subgrade reaction, was proposed by considering shear wave velocity of soil and confining stress. It was found that the prediction by pseudo-static analysis using the proposed coefficient is in good agreement with the general trends observed by dynamic analysis, and it represents a practical improvement in the prediction of behavior for pile foundations subjected to dynamic loads.
