In this study, a new methodology for the assessment of liquefaction potential is proposed. Since there is no data on the liquefaction damage in Korea, the dynamic behavior of fully saturated soils is characterized through laboratory dynamic tests. There are two experimental parameters related to the soil liquefaction resistance characteristics : the one is the index of disturbance determined by $G/G_{max}$ curve and the other is a plastic shear strain trajectory evaluated from stress-strain curve. The proposed methodology takes advantage of the site response analysis based on real earthquake records to determine the driving effect of earthquake. In the evaluation of liquefaction resistance characteristics, it is verified experimentally that the magnitude of cyclic shear stress has no influence on the critical value of plastic shear strain trajectory at which the initial liquefaction occurs. Cyclic triaxial tests under the conditions of various cyclic stress ratios and torsional shear tests are carried out far the purpose of verification. Through this study, the critical value at the initial liquefaction is found unique regardless of the cyclic stress ratio. It is also f3und that liquefaction resistance curve drawn with disturbance and plastic shear strain trajectory can simulate the behavior of fully saturated soils under dynamic loads.

Deformation is found by an external force in the rock which has internal stress. So, deformation is increased in time what is stressed under constant load. Rock materials collapse suddenly in a long period when the creep rate increases slightly. So mechanical deformability of the ground is an essential condition for determination of long term safety in structures. The result of analysis in 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% of constant load in creep test, strain velocity constants $\alpha$ and ${\gamma}$ increase with load increasement. Griggs equation is more exact than Li and Xia, Singh equation, and G$_2$of a flow constant by Burger's model decreases with stress increasement, but η$_1$,η$_2$and G$_1$ manifest irregularly in this study.

The deformation modulus of rock masse is a very important design factor for the computation of stability of tunnels and their support systems. Several empirical formulas to estimate the deformation modulus using simple rock classification methods such as RQD or RMR are widely used because field tests to evaluate the deformation modulus are very expensive and time consuming work. However, these formulas can be depended on experiences from the characteristics of local sites in each country. Therefore, in this study, the applicability of empirical formulas was analyzed by comparing estimated value with the measured value from eight sites in South Korea. The results show that the estimated value based on the empirical formulas partially have tendency to overestimate. Especially, in case of sedimentary rocks, it was too difficult to apply to the empirical formulas because there was no relationship between estimated value and measured value. For these reasons, additional data from many tests and accurate analyses are necessary to evaluate the estimation method for the deformation modulus considering the local characteristics of rock masse.

Yttia-doped ceria-stabilized ziconia polycrystals(Ce-TZP) was prepared by dipping method and its microstructure was investigated. By controlling doped-yttria content and annealing condition, yttria-doped Ce-TZP showed the microstructure with irregular grain shape and undulated grain boundary. Irregularity of grain shape increased with the amount of yttria doped, and severe undulated grain boundary was observed mainly at the surface region. In the case of yttria-doped Ce-TZP annealed at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 2h after two dipping times into yttrium nitrate solution of 0.2M, it showed irregular grain shape both at the surface and at the interior region as well as the most severe irregularity. Hot pressed specimen had mean grain size of 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ and undulated grain boundary. All specimens with irregular grain shape were retained the tetragonal phase. The fracture toughness of yttria-doped Ce-TZP with irregular grain shape was over the value of 17.6MPa.m(sup)1/2.

경기육괴 서남부에 위치한 홍성지역의 기반암은 선캠브리아 화강암질 편마암으로 이루어진 것으로 알려져 왔으나, 적어도 일부는 신원생대(약820 Ma) 시기에 관입한 토날라이트질 심성암체로 구성된다. 토날라이트의 주 구성광물은 석영, 사장석, 흑운모, 각섬석이며, 저어콘, 스핀, 녹니석, 인회석 등이 소량으로 산출한다. 이 연구에서는 야외 및 미세구조 관찰을 통해, 홍성 화강암질암에서 나타나는 구조적 요소들이 화성기원임을 보고한다. 홍성 토날라이트에서 관찰되는 구조들이 화성기원인 증거는: (1) 엽리가 연속성이 부족하고 주향과 경사가 불규칙하며, 드물게는 사층리처럼 보이기도 한다. (2) 자형 내지 반자형의 장석과 각섬석이 엽리면에 평행 또는 준평행하게 배열되어 있으며, 반정 주변에는 음영대(pressure shadow)가 발달하지 않는다 (3) 고철질 포획체(mafic enclave)는 주변암의 엽리에 평행하게 신장되어 있고, 완전히 고화 되지 않은 상태에서 형성되는 불꽃 구조(flame structure)가 드물게 관찰된다. (4) 고철질 포획체의 주 구성광물인 흑운모와 각섬석은 주변암의 엽리와 평행하게 배열되어 있으나, 소성변형의 증거를 보이지 않는다. 홍성 토날라이트에서 관찰되는 모든 조직들이 화성기원이라고 주장하기는 어렵지만, 모두 고체상태에서의 변형작용으로 설명하기는 더욱 힘들다. 후자가 화성기원의 조직에 어느 정도 영향을 주었는지는 추후의 연구를 통해 밝혀져야 할 것이다.

The rip current occurred at Haeundae beach was numerically investigated under directional random wave environment. The numerical simulation was performed using a fully nonlinear Boussinesq equation model, FUNWAVE which is capable of simulating nearshore circulation since it includes the effect of wave-induced momentum flux and horizontal turbulent mixing. The results of numerical simulation show the time-dependent evolution of the wave-induced nearshore circulation system (including rip current) that are caused by nonlinear transformation of directional irregular waves due to unique topography of Haeundae. From the results, it was found that rip current is well generated and developed where relatively lower wave height and relatively deeper water depth along the longshore direction, and sudden and strong events of rip current were observed.

In this study finite element analysis using hyperbolic model was performed to predict the characteristics of stress-strain behaviour on concrete face earth dam (CFED : a tentative name) raised with coarse-grained materials corresponding to the face slab bedding zone of concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD). The results of finite element analysis were compared with field monitoring data, and the comparison showed a good agreement. And, the analysis results including locus of maximum displacement, maximum stress, stress concentration, and irregular load transfer would be used to devise rational field monitoring schemes for construction management and quality control during construction of CFED.

This study is to numerically investigate the characteristics of wave energy variations propagating over impermeable submerged breakwaters with irregular waves. Two-dimensional numerical wave flume based on the VOF method was used. VOF method is the most efficient capable of simulating free surfaces including wave breaking. From the computed frequency spectrum results, wave breaking play important role in ability of the submerged breakwaters to dissipate incident wave energy. In case of occurring wave breaking, our analysis shows that wave energy moves to short wave period on one-row impermeable submerged breakwater's lee side and is widely distributed not having peak period on two- row impermeable submerged breakwater's lee side.

This paper presents a video tracking method for a deformable moving object using an active contour model in the image sequences. It is quite important to decide the local convergence directions of the contour points for correctly extracting the boundary of the moving object with deformable shape. For this purpose, an energy function for the active contour model is newly proposed by adding a directional energy term using a frame difference map to tile Greedy algorithm. In addition, an updating rule of tile frame difference map is developed to encourage the stable convergence of the contour points. Experimental results on a set of synthetic and real image sequences showed that the proposed method can fully track the deformable object while extracting the boundary of the object elaborately in every frame.
