The soil tests have been performed on the specimens obtained from about 1,150 sites including landslides and non-landslides areas in natural terrains for last 10 years. Based on the results of those tests, the average soil properties are estimated and the simple equations for estimating permeability are proposed according to geologic conditions. The average permeability in Granite and Mudstone sites is higher than other sites and the content of silt and clay in Mudstone and Gneiss sites is higher than other sites. The correlation analysis and the regression analysis were performed to estimate the coefficient of permeability according to geological conditions. As the result of the correlation analysis, the coefficient of permeability is selected as a dependent variable, and the silt and clay contents, the water contents and the dry unit weights are selected as independent variables. As the result of the regression analysis, the silt and clay contents and the void ratio were involved commonly in the linear regression equations according to geological conditions. To verify the proposed the linear regression equations, the measured result of the coefficient of permeability at other sites was compared with the result predicted with the proposed equations. As the result of comparison, there were a little bit different between them for some data. However the difference was relatively small. Therefore, the linear regression equations for estimating the coefficient of permeability according to geological conditions may be applied to Korean soils. However, these equations should be verified and corrected continuously to improve the accuracy.

This study investigates the dynamic instability of strength-limited bilinear single degree of freedom (SDF) systems under seismic excitation. The strength-limited bilinear hysteretic model best replicates the hysteretic behavior of the steel moment resisting frames. To estimate the dynamic instability of SDF systems, the collapse strength ratio is used, which is the yield-strength reduction factor when collapse occurs. Statistical studies are carried out to estimate median collapse strength ratios and those dispersions of strength-limited bilinear SDF systems with given natural periods, hardening stiffness ratios, post-capping stiffness ratios, ductility and damping ratios ranging from 2 to 20% subjected to 240 earthquake ground motions recorded on stiff soil sites. Equations to calculate median and standard deviation of collapse strength ratios in strength-limited bilinear SDF systems are obtained through nonlinear regression analysis. By using the proposed equations, this study estimated the probabilistic distribution of collapse strength ratios, and compared this with the exact values from which the accuracy of the proposed equations was verified.

In this study, we constructed a database by collecting field pullout test data of the soil nailing using pressurized grouting, and suggested a method to estimate the ultimate pullout resistance using nonlinear regression analysis to overcome the problems of ultimate pullout resistance estimation using graphical methods. The load-displacement curve estimated by nonlinear regression showed a very high correlation with the field pullout test data. Estimated ultimate pullout load by nonlinear regression method was average 29% higher than estimated ultimate pullout load using previous graphical method. A sigmoidal growth model was found to be the best-fitting nonlinear regression model against rapid pullout failure. Further, an asymptotic regression model was found to be the best fit against progressive nail pullout. The unit ultimate skin friction suggested in this research reflected in the domestic geotechnical characteristics and the specifications of the pressurized grouting method. This research is expected to contribute towards establishing an independent design standard for the soil nailing by providing solutions to the problems that occur when using design charts based on foreign research.

수공구조물의 설계를 위해서 주로 사용되는 강우강도식은 연최대치 강우자료를 이용하여 빈도별 혹은 지속기간별 확률강우량을 구한 후 이 값들을 선형 혹은 비선형식의 형태로 회귀분석하여 구하게 된다. 그러나, 이와 같이 회귀분석을 이용하여 추정된 강우강도식은 원래의 강우자료가 가지고 있는 확률적인 특성을 재현한다고 하기는 어렵기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 연최대치 강우자료에 대한 적정 확률분포형으로부터 직접 강우 강도식을 유도하는 방법을 적용하여 대상지역 강우강도식의 매개변수를 산정하였다. 선정된 적정 확률분포형을 이용하여 강우강도식의 매개변수를 추정하는데 있어서, 평균제곱오차의 제곱근을 최소화하는 형태의 목적함수를 구성한 후 유전자알고리즘을 이용하여 적절한 매개변수를 산정하였다. 산정된 매개변수를 사용한 강우강도식으로 구한 결과값과 기존의 강우강도식에 의한 결과값 그리고 지점빈도해석에 의한 결과값을 비교하여 본 연구에서 산정된 강우강도식의 적용성을 평가해 보았다.

In this paper, an analytical model to predict the resisting capacity of slender RC columns is introduced. Material and geometric nonlinearities are taken into account, and the layer approach is adopted to simulate the different material properties across the sectional depth. On the basis of the obtained numerical analysis results, an improved design equation as a function of concrete strength, slenderness ratio, steel ratio and eccentricity for slender RC columns, which can be used effectively in the preliminary design stage, is introduced. Finally, P-M interaction diagrams constructed by the introduced equation are compared with the ACI method with the objective of establishing the relative efficiencies of the introduced equation.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the crown vertical structure, crown bulk density, and to develop regression models for predicting crown fuel load using the data from 10 destructively sampled Pinus densiflora trees in Bonghwa, Gyeongbuk. The fuel loads were observed higher in the middle portion of the vertical distribution of crown followed by the lower portion and upper portion of Pinus densiflora, respectively. Approximately 25% crown fuel load was found in the needle while 33% was observed in the branches with <1 cm diameter with a total of 58% available fuel loads. The average crown bulk density was $0.45kg/m^3$, and $0.27kg/m^3$ of this was available in the needles and branches with <1 cm diameters. The resulting models in linear equations were able to account for 84% and 88% of the observed variation, while the allometric equations with diameter at breast height as the single predictor showed better results to account for 90% and 95% of the observed variation in the available crown fuel loads and total crown fuel loads, respectively. The suggested equations in this study could provide quantitative fuel load attributes for crown fire behavior models and fire management of red pine stands in Bonghwa areas.

수위-유량 관계 곡선식에 포함되어져 있는 매개변수를 추정하기 위해 많이 사용되는 로그선형 회귀분석은 잔차의 비등분산성(heterocesdascity)을 고려하지 못하므로 본 연구에서는 의사우도추정법(Pseudo-likelihood Estimation, P-LE)에 의해 분산함수를 추정하고 이와 함께 회귀계수를 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 과정에서 제시된 회귀잔차를 최소화하기 위하여 SA(simulated annealing)이라는 전역 최적화 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 또한 수위-유량 관계 곡선식은 단면 등의 영향으로 인해 구간에 따라 각각 다르게 구축되어져야 하므로 이를 보다 객관적으로 판단하고 분리 위치를 정확히 추정하기 위하여 Heaviside 함수를 의사우도함수에 포함시켜 결과를 추정하도록 하였으며, 2개의 구간을 가지는 유량자료를 이용하여 제시된 방법의 합리성을 통계적으로 실험하였다. 이와 같이 통계적 실험을 통해 제시된 방법들이 기존 방법과 비교하여 가질 수 있는 장점을 파악하였으며, 제시된 방법들을 금강유역 5개 지점에서 대해 수행하여 효율성을 검증하였다.

This study evaluated the effect of vibration, level of lateral yielding strength, site conditions, ductility factor, strain-hardening ratio, and post-capping ratio of the strength limited bilinear SDF systems on the inelastic displacement ratio. The nonlinear response history analysis was conducted using 240 ground motions which were collected at the sites classified as site classes B, C, and D according to the NEHRP. To account for the P-$\Delta$ effects, this study considered negative stiffness ratios ranging from -0.1 to -0.5 of elastic stiffness. Four different damping ratios are used: 2, 5, 10, and 20%. From this study, an equation of inelastic displacement ratio was proposed using nonlinear regression analysis.
