Many Studies of tunnel and tunnelling safety have been developed continuously based on the increasing social interests in underground space since 1990's in Korea. Because the growth of population in metropolitan has been accelerated at a faster pace than the development of the cities, underground facilities have been created as a great extent in view of less land space available. In this study, a lot of types of tunnel failure were surveyed and the detail causes were studied after many cases of tunnel failure were collected. There were suggested brief countermeasure of tunnel failure through case study. An expert system was developed to predict the safety of tunnel and choose proper tunnel reinforcement system using fuzzy quantification theory and fuzzy inference rule based on tunnel information database. The comparison result between the predicted reinforcement system level and measured ones was very similar. In-situ data were obtained in three tunnel sites including subway tunnel under Han river. This system will be very helpful to make the most of in-situ data and suggest proper applicability of tunnel reinforcement system developing more resonable tunnel support method from dependance of some experienced experts for the absent of guide.

Supportive periodontal therapy(SPT) is essential for the long-term success of periodontal treatment. A patient's compliance with SPT is one of the most important factors affecting periodontal status. There are few studies quantifying compliance with SPT. The aim of this study is to quantify patient's compliance using new method and evaluate tooth loss depending on patient's supportive periodontal treatment compliance index(SPTCI) with SPT. This study included subjects diagnosed with generalized moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, who had completed active periodontal treatment and had SPT over 5 years in Wonkwang university dental hospital. Chart review and radiography analysis were performed. To quantify compliance, SPTCI representing average of gap between recommended schedules and actual visits has been used and evaluated with tooth loss. Mean period of SPT was 8.9 years and mean SPTCI was about 120. In statical analysis, patients who have higher SPTCI with SPT are more likely to have higher rate of tooth loss. Under SPTCI of 120, there were no significant co-relation between SPTCI and tooth loss. Patients diagnosed with moderate chronic periodontitis have significant co-relation between SPTCI and tooth loss, whereas patients diagnosed with severe chronic periodontitis have no co-relation. SPTCI, new method of quantifying compliance in this study, affected to tooth loss. This study suggests that using SPTCI could be helpful for prediction of tooth loss and be used to determine the interval of visit.

This study confirm the value and the importance of the human sensibility study to add up the new meaning, and to suggest a new value of Korean sensibility study through the understanding of current statusand trend of the sensibility study in the space. The method of the study was to collect date related to the sensibility study and to analyze it focusing on its details. The date was collected from researches published on the website since the establishment of Korean Institute of Interior Design and Architectural Institute of Korea and selected at the keyword search comer. The data was extracted under keywords of research object, research purpose, research method, and analysis method. And then it was quantified with HAYASH lll program and used for analyses according to its pattern and feature. The study shows that nowadays categories representing the current status and trend of the sensibility studies in space consist of the environment, the human, and the space. The contemporary study for sensibility puts the importance on a object and a subject of the study like the environment harmonized with human and space, the humans the subject that essentially uses the spate, and the space for the architecture and the interior that puts human in. Accordingly, the study for human sensibility should develop into the study for the design focused on the intangible relationship such as 'information', 'elements for space design', 'sensibility' beyond the existing tangible categories of environment, human, and space. In addition, in the method ways of study and analysis, those studies for the sensible relationship are required to develop into new types of study applying research methods of various studies beyond the traditional border between human studies, social science, and natural science.

County는 비용과 부지소요는 최소화하면서도 증가하는 지역적 물수요에 부합되는 높은 유량에서 정수장의 성능을 최대화해야하는 필요성에 직면해있다. 개선사항을 찾아내기 위하여 시설물에 대한 상세한 성능평가가 행해졌다. 성능평가는 여과와 소독공정이 운전방식의 조정과 함께 추가시설의 건설에 의하여 개선될 수 있음을 나타내었다. Pilot test는 실험된 여러 가지 대안들 중에서 혼화, 응집, 이중 여과방식이 입자의 제거와 정수 수질에 가장 좋은 것임을 보여주었다. 소독에 대한 분석 결과는 소독방법을 교정하고 추가적인 염소접촉시간을 주는 것이 소독의 안전성을 확보함과 동시에 정수의 소독부산물 농도를 최소한으로 하고 강화되는 규제치와 부합할 수 있는 최선의 방법이 될 것이라는 것을 보이고 있다. Pilot test는 저수두 자동역세척여과지가 1차여과지(roughing filter)로서 효과적이라는 것을 보여주었다. 실험결과는 이중여과가 최종유출수의 탁도를 평균 0.1NTU이하로 감소시키며 입자의 제거율을 3 log로 증가시킴을 나타내고 있다. 정수공정 전반에서의 입자의 제거는 여러 개의 공정의 개별적 성과의 합이 아니므로 시설물들을 건설하기 전에 정수장 전체적으로 예상되는 개선정도를 수량화하기 위하여 Pilot 실험이 필요하였다. Pilot test중에 탁도보다는 입자측정이 유량, 응집제의 주입량, 및 여타 운전조건의 변화에 훨씬 민감함을 보여주었다. 이러한 점이 입자측정이 특히 저탁도 원수에서 처리공정의 성능을 나타내 주는 적절한 추가적 수질인자라는 결론을 보강하여 주었다. 물수요에 부합하기 위하여 Freedom District 정수장을 성공적으로 개선하는 데는 원수의 수질, 단위공정의 성능, 활용가능한 수리학적 수두, 현시설의 배치, 운전양태 등과 같은 기술적 사항에 대한 고려가 필요하였다. 비록 모든 사항들이 각각 일정정도의 영향을 가지고 있으나, 상기의 모든 것들이 수질에 영향을 미쳤으며 수질의 성공적인 개선은 정수장 운전의 모든 부분을 파악할 수 있는 상세한 성능평가를 통하여 가장 잘 달성될 수 있다.

Surveys of stock volume on steep and vast expanse of mountains, involves various difficulties. And it is extremely uneconomical in forest management point of view, to spend lots of time and man power for surveying such tree volume as the value is much cheaper in comparison with volume and weight. Therefore, a stand volume table estimate easely stock volume per hectare basis from aerial photographs was prepared and correlations to stand volume among factors affecting tree volumation, were studied. Data were 114 places selected from planted Korean white pine, Pinus koreiensis Sieb. et Zucc. stands in Kwangnung Experiment Forest and were computed and analysed by the means of the quantification in the multi-variate statistical analysis. Electronic Data Processing System was applied for data processing at Korean Instiute of Science and Technology. Coefficients of multiple correlations of stand volume table was ranged 0.85~0.88.

Though there might exist not a few differences between cyclic works and atypical works, many researchers have applied the same assessment techniques that used for repetitive works, which may result introduce bias in their conclusions. This research aimed to verify whether there exist non-negligible work characteristics and/or dissimilarity among works with different work nature and whether one of the most prevalent assessment techniques for assessing ergonomic hazards of musculoskeletal disorders, REBA, can be applied to atypical works. For a general hospital, an automobile repair shop, and two auto-part assembly plants which manufactures quite different parts, a questionnaire survey and field investigation and ergonomic assessment were carried out and analyzed statistically with reference to the 3rd Quantification technique. The results showed that there exist remarkable difference between physical factors in cyclic works and atypical non-cyclic works. As for repetitive work, body posture was significant factors affecting on musculoskeletal disorders while atypical works seemed to have none which implied that the necessity of taking psychosocial factors into account for assessment of hazards. Complain rate in repetitive works was highest shoulder, back, and neck or wrist in sequence. However, there existed no consistent trend in complain rate in atypical works. And, though weight of manufacturing objects was a common factor that can partly explain musculoskeletal complain, time duration was significant in atypical work whereas repeatability and body posture were significant in repetitive works. As being the results, to summarize, it could be said that application of conventional ergonomic assessment techniques regardless of repetitiveness would be fruitless, and that the necessity of a unique methodology focused on atypical non-cyclic works should not be neglected.
