Test constructions were performed at 3 sites to investigate ways for maximizing performance of geogrid-reinforced asphalt pavements known to reduce reflection cracking and rutting. Problems during construction operation which can affect bonding shear strength of the geogrid-reinforced asphalt pavements were defined and the construction conditions were intentionally made during the test constructions. Both immediately and 1year after the test constructions, cores were obtained from positions with good and bad construction conditions and then bonding shear strength tests were performed to be compared each other. Rules to be kept at construction sites were suggested to improve performance of the geogrid-reinforced asphalt pavements.

To establish a suitability grouping system of paddy soils for double or multiple cropping with rice which is intensively practiced in the southern parts of Korea, a few basic experiments were carried out for two years. The results are summarized as follows; 1. The potential productivities of the paddy soils which were tested without any fertilizer in the pots of subsoil samples by the double cropping of rice and other upland crops were resulted that the soils of "Moderately well drained" fine silty textured were the highest while the soils of "Poorly drained" sandy were the lowest, and the productivities could be clearly comparable according to the differences of soil conditions. 2. The decomposability of organic matter also was higher in the soils of "Moderately well drained" than the "Imperfectly drained". The coarse loamy and coarse silty textured soils were high in the upland condition and in the early stages of submerging while the fine loamy and fine silty textured soils were high at the late stage of submerging in the rates of organic matter decomposition. 3. The days to be reached to tillable condition after rainfall in fine loamy textured soils were about 5 days earlier than the clayey soils. The period of tillable condition of fine clayey soils with "Moderately well drained" was the longest and that of the fine loamy textured soils was the shortest. But the soils with "Imperfectly drained" were not clear among soil textural classes. 4. The lower the ground water table the higher was the productivity indices. The variation of ground water table in the medium textured soils was higher than the both of coarse and fine textured soils among "Moderately well drained". But it was observed the opposite in the soils of "Imperfectly drained".

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the dry matter weight of soybean plant, fertilization efficiency, and the changes of p uptake with different p application levels in cultivated and uncultivated soils controlling the soil moisture content to 2 levels. 1. The effect of irrigation was higher in cultivated soil than in uncultivated soil, and was higher in larger amount of p application than in small amount of p. 2. Efficiency of phosphate fertilization for soybean growth was higher in cultivated soil compared with uncultivated soil, and increased by irrigation to optimum soil moisture content for crop growth. 3. Adjustment of soil moisture content to optimum level for soybean growth increased the concentration of phosphate in plant and decreased the content of phosphate in soil. Therefore, it was obvious that soybean plant absorbed the high amount of p in the optimum soil moisture level and in large amount of p application.

Chilean wild flower seeds showed low germination rate and lacked germination uniformity. This experiment was conducted to find out the effects of light conditions, $GA_3$ (50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L) and $KNO_3$ (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%) treatments on germination of five species of Chilean wild flower seeds. The seeds of $Schizanthus$ $candidus$, $Schizanthus$ $hookerii$, and $Schizanthus$ $litoralis$ did not germinated in light condition. The others did not show a significant different germination rate under light and dark conditions. The germination rate of $Mimulus$ $luteus$, $Schizanthus$ $candidus$, $Schizanthus$ $hookerii$ increased 2.3, 5.6, and 3.2 times compared with control, respectively in $GA_3$-200 mg/L treatment, but that of $Rhodophiala$ $ananuca$ enhanced slightly in $GA_3$-50 mg/L treatment. Those results suggested that the germination rate of Chilean wild flower seeds enhanced by $GA_3$ treatment that is very efficient in breaking seed dormancy.

2-D numerical methods have been applied to analyze the stability of tunnels because of computation efficiency, though the ground around the tunnel under construction shows 3-D reformational behaviour due to the transverse and longitudinal arching effects. Load distribution factors are introduced to the 2-D analysis for the consideration of the effects of the tunnel advance in three dimensions. The load distribution factors influence significantly the ground deformation and the load of primary supports like shotcrete and rockbolts. According to the previous studies for 3-D numerical studies. it was shown that load distribution factors were heavily dependent on the ground deformational properties, tunnel size and the advance length of a tunnel. However, as the quantitative methods evaluating the factors have not been presented yet, constant values have been assigned to the factors for 2-D analysis even if the conditions for tunnel design are different. Accordingly, this paper presents the method to evaluate quantitatively the load distribution factors through the regression analysis of 3-D analysis data on 72 design cases. Also, new modification to the load distribution factors are suggested for the ring-cut excavation method because the conventional 2-D analysis is not able to consider the support effects of the core left on the tunnel face.

These experiments pertain to various factors influencing the quantitative characters of cocoon crops in summer and early autumn seasons. Initially, in order to establish the possible ways of the silkworm rearing more than three times a year in Korea, the author attempted to get further information about the various factors affecting the cocoon crop in every silkworm rearing season. The trials were conducted eleven times a year at four places for three years. The field trial was conducted with 19 typical sericultural farmers who had been surveyed. At the same time the author statistically analyzed the various factors in close relation to tile cocoon crop in autumn season. The effect of guidance on 40 sericultural farmers was analyzed, comparing higher level farmers with lower level farmers ; and the author surveyed 758 non-guided farmers near the guided farmers during both spring and autumn seasons. In addition, another trial on the seasonal change of leaf quality was attempted with artificial diets prepared with leaves grown in each season. It was found that related factors to cocoon crops in summer and early autumn seasons appeared to be leaf quality, and temperature for young and grown larvae. A 2$^4$ factorial experiment was designed in summer season, and another design with one more level of varied temperature or hard leaf added to a 24 factorial experiment was conducted in early autumn. The experimental results can be summarized： 1. Study on the cocoon crops in the different rearing seasons 1) It was shown that earlier brushing of silkworm generally produced the most abundant cocoon crop in spring season, and earlier or later than the conventional brushing season, especially earlier brushing was unfavorable for the abundant cocoon crop in autumn season. 2) The cocoon crop was affected by the rearing season, and decreases in order of sire with spring, autumn, late autumn, summer and early autumn seasons. 3) It was Proved that ordinary rearing and branch rearing were possibles 4 times a year ; in the 1st, 3rd, 8th, and 10th brushing season. But the 11th brushing season was more favorable for the most abundant cocoon crop of branch rearing, instead of the 10th brushing season with ordinary rearing. 2. Study on the main factors affecting the cocoon crop in autumn season 1) Accumulated pathogens were a lethal factor leading to a bad cocoon crop through neglect of disinfection of rearing room and instruments. 2) Additional factors leading to a poor cocoon crop were unfavorable for rearing temperature and humidity, dense population, poor choice of moderately ripened leaf, and poor feeding techniques. However, it seemed that there was no relationship between the cocoon crop and management of farm. 3) The percentage of cocoon shell seemed to be mostly affected by leaf quality, and secondarily affected by the accumulation of pathogens. 3. Study on the effect of guidance on rearing techniques 1) The guided farms produced an average yearly yield of 29.0kg of cocoons, which varied from 32.3kg to 25.817g of cocoon yield per box in spring versus autumn, respectively. Those figures indicated an annual average increase of 26% of cocoon yield over yields of non-guided farmers. An increase of 20% of cocoon yield in spring and 35% of cocoon yield in autumn were responsible. 2) On guided farms 77.1 and 83.7% of total cocoon yields in the spring and autumn seasons, respectively, exceeded 3rd grade. This amounted to increases of 14.1 and 11.3% in cocoon yield and quality over those of non-guided farms. 3) The average annual cocoon yield on guided farms was 28.9kg per box, based on a range of 31.2kg to 26.9kg per box in spring and autumn seasons, respectively. This represented an 8% increase in cocoon yield on farms one year after guidance, as opposed to non-guided farms. This yield increase was due to 3 and 16% cocoon yield increases in spring and autumn crops. 4) Guidance had no effect on higher level farms, but was responsible for 19% of the increases in production on lower level farms. 4. Study on the seasonal change of leaf quality 1) In tests with grown larvae, leaves of tile spring crop incorporated in artificial diets produced the best cocoon crop; followed by leaves of the late autumn, summer, autumn, and early autumn crops. 2) The cocoon crop for young larvae as well as for grown larvae varied with the season of leaf used. 5. Study on factors affecting the cocoon crops in summer and early autumn A. Early autumn season 1) Survival rate and cocoon yield were significantly decreased at high rearing temperatures for young larvae 2) Survival rate, cocoon yield, and cocoon quality were adversely affected by high rearing temperatures for grown larvae. Therefore increases of cocoon quantity and improvement of cocoon quality are dependent on maintaining optimum temperatures. 3) Decreases in individual cocoon weight and longer larval periods resulted with feeding of soft leaf and hard leaf to young larvae, but the survival rate, cocoon yield and weight of cocoon shell were not influenced. 4) Cocoon yield and cocoon quality were influenced by feeding of hard leaf to grown larvae, but survival rate was not influenced by the feeding of soft leaf and hard leaf. 5) When grown larvae were inevitably raised at varied temperatures, application of varied temperature in the raising of both young and grown larvae was desirable. Further research concerning this matter must be considered. B. Summer season 1) Cocoon yield and single cocoon weight were decreased at high temperatures for young larvae and survival rate was also affected. 2) Cocoon yield, survival rate. and cocoon quality were considerably decreased at high rearing temperatures for grown larval stages.

The purpose of this research work is to propose an analytical method of tunnel design based on reasonable site data. Therefore the proposed design method consists of monitoring data and Modified In Situ Rock Model. Also the Rock Mass Rating for very poor quality rock is very difficult to estimate, the balances between the ratings may no longer gives a reliable basis for the rock mass strength. But in reality Rock Mass Rating is only the property which can be obtained from face mapping records of the exposed tunnel face during construction stage. Evaluation of rock parameters for the actual design prior to tunnel construction should be corrected during tunnelling process in particularly complex ground conditions. This study intends to investigate application of in-situ rock model to soft rock tunnelling (weathered rock) by face mapping results and site measurement data that are obtained at the costraction site of Seoul Subway Tunnel. For the preparation of more reliable ground parameters, the Rock Mass Rating values for the weathered rocks were modified and readjusted in accordance with the measurement data. The modified input parameters obtained by the proposed method are used for the prediction of the tunnel behavior at subsequent construction stages. The results of this study revealed that more reasonable feed back tunnel analysis can be possible as suggested. Ample measurement data would be able to confirm the new proposed technique in this research work.

This study was conducted to develop rational soil management and enhance the productivity of lands converted from paddy soils. Specifically, the changes in the soil physical properties brought about by the change in land usage from paddy soil were evaluated. This was carried out from 1999 to 2001 at 50 site in large-scale converted paddy fields of Kimcheon, Youngcheon, Gyeongsan and Milyang in the Youngnam region, categorized according to soil texture and drainage class. The ridge height of converted paddy soils was higher in coarse-textured and poorly-drained soils than in fine-textured and well-drained soils. The gray color of the surface soil was of lesser degree in converted soils than paddy soils and more notable in welldrained soils. The porosity ratio and the formation of aggregate structure were higher, and the appearance of soil mottling was deeper in converted paddy fields than in paddy soils. The glaying layer "g" of surface soil degraded with time. The porosity and amount of water stable aggregate was found to increase with time after conversion. The penetration resistance of the converted paddy soil was lower and deeper with time after conversion. The soil aeration of the converted paddy soil was lower in sandy loam than in loamy soil. Furthermore, soil aeration was influenced by ridge height and drainage class in poorly-drained soils.

In recent years, cargo lashing has received much importance, to help prevent the sinking of passenger ships due to the failure of vehicle and cargo lashing during the transshipment of cargo. Consequently, the standards for lashing equipment and the structure of car ferries have been revised. According to the current standards, all vehicles loaded on a car ferry sailing in smooth sea areas must be secured if the wind speed and wave height exceed 7 m/s and 1.5 m, respectively. In this study, we measured the roll and pitch of a passenger ship sailing in smooth sea areas, and compared the measurements with the results of the New Strip Method (NSM). The vessel had a maximum pitch of 1.41° and a maximum roll of 1.37° at a wind speed of 6-8 m/s and a wave height of 0.5-1.0 m, and a maximum pitch of 1.49° and a maximum roll of 2.43° at a wind speed of 10-12 m/s and a wave height of 1.0-1.5 m. A comparison of the external forces due to the motion of the hull and the bearing capacity without lashing indicated that the bearing capacity was stronger. This suggests that vehicles without lashing will not slip or fall due to weather conditions. In future, the existing vehicle lashing standards can be revised after measuring the hull motions of various ships, and comparing the external force and bearing capacity, to establish more reasonable requirements.

최근 본 연구실에서 무연 솔더를 위한 새로운 Cu-Zn 합금 젖음층을 개발하였다. 전해도금을 통하여 Cu-Zn 합금층을 형성한 뒤 그 위에 Sn-4.0wt% Ag-0.5wt% Cu (SAC 405) 솔더를 리플로 솔더링을 통해 솔더접합부를 형성하였으며 계면에서 생성된 금속간 화합물의 형성 및 성장 거동을 연구하였다. SAC/Cu 시스템의 경우, $150^{\circ}C$에서 시효 처리를 실시하는 동안 솔더와 도금된 Cu 계면에서 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상과 미세한 공공이 형성된 $Cu_3Sn$ 상이 발견되었다. 반면에 SAC/Cu-Zn 시스템에서는 계면에서 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상만이 형성되었다. 또한 큰 판상형의 $Ag_3Sn$ 상이 SAC/Cu 시스템에 비해 현저하게 억제되었다. SAC/Cu-Zn 계면에서의 금속간 화합물의 성장 속도가 SAC/Cu 계면에서 형성된 금속간 화합물의 성장 속도보다 느리게 나타났다. Cu-Zn 젖음층의 Zn가 솔더와 Cu-Zn 층 사이에서 Cu와 Sn 원자의 상호 확산을 방해하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 Cu와 Cu-Zn 층을 이용한 솔더 접합부의 낙하 충격 신뢰성을 연구하였다. 낙하 충격 시험 시편은 두 개의 인쇄 회로 기판을 SAC 405 솔더볼을 이용하여 리플로를 통해 상호연결 하여 제조되었다. 이 때, 각각의 인쇄 회로 기판의 패드에는 Cu 층과 Cu-Zn층을 전해도금을 통하여 각각 $10{\mu}m$두께의 젖음층을 형성하였다. 낙하 시험 시편을 제조한 뒤, 시효 처리에 대한 낙하 저항 신뢰성의 특성을 연구하기 위해 250, 500 시간동안 시효처리를 한 후 각 조건에서 계면에 형성된 금속간 화합물의 성장 거동을 관찰하였으며, 낙하 충격 시험을 실시하였다. 낙하 시험은 daisy chain으로 연결된 시편의 저항이 100 Ohm 이상 측정되었을 때 중단되도록 하였다. Cu-Zn/SAC/Cu-Zn 시편의 경우 초기 리플로를 하였을 때 불량이 발생하는 평균 낙하 수는 350이며, Cu/SAC/Cu 시편의 평균 낙하수는 200 미만으로 나타났다. Cu/SAC/Cu 시편의 경우, 시효처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 평균 낙하수는 큰 폭으로 감소하였지만, Cu-Zn/SAC/Cu-Zn 시편은 불량이 발생하는 평균 낙하수의 감소폭이 보다 완만하게 나타났다. Cu 층에 Zn를 첨가함으로써 솔더와 젖음층 사이에서 형성된 금속간 화합물의 성장 및 미세 공공의 형성이 억제되었고, 솔더 접합부의 과냉을 감소시킴으로써 큰 판상형의 $Ag_3Sn$ 상의 형성을 억제함으로써 Cu-Zn/SAC/Cu-Zn 솔더 접합부에서 Cu/SAC/Cu 솔더 접합부보다 낙하 충격에 대한 저항성 및 신뢰성이 향상되었다. 이는 무연 솔더에 Zn를 첨가하여 낙하 충격 신뢰성을 향상시킨 것과 동일한 효과를 나타냈음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 한국 과학 기술 재단의 전자패키지 재료 연구 센터(CEPM)와 지식 경제부의 부품 소재 기술 개발 사업의 지원을 받아 수행되었습니다.
