A reliability model of Level II AFDA is developed to analyze the stability of armor units on the sloped coastal structures. Additionally, the partial safety factors of random variables related to armor units can be straightforwardly evaluated by applying the inverse-reliability method in which influence coefficients and uncertainties of random variables, and target probability of failure are combined directly. In particular, a design equation for armor units is derived in terms of the same criteria as deterministic design method in order to apply the reliability-based design method of Level I without some understanding to the reliability analysis. Finally, it is confirmed that several results redesigned by the reliability-based design method of Level I have satisfactorily agreement with results of CEM as well as those of Level II AFDA.

In this study, the elastic modulus and the initial stresses of the rock were calculated through back analysis of in-situ displacements measured during excavation of the underground caverns. Results from back analysis were employed to determine the redistributed stresses the displacements and relaxed zone in the rock around the caverns, which supplement the geological characterization results. To verify the reliability of the back analysis program the elastic modulus and the initial stresses were obtained from inputting the displacements calculated by FEM. These were compared with the assumed normalized stresses in FEM and were in a reasonable agreement with an error of more or less than 3%.

한반도 서해 만경강-동진강 하구역 조간대 퇴적층의 수직층서 퇴적상 변화를 분석 하여 퇴적과정을 기초해양환경의 관점에서 해석하였다. 본 연구해역 저 조선의 퇴적층은 사 질함량이 우세한 반면 방조제와 인접한 만조선의 퇴적층은 실트질이 우세하였고 상층과 하 층의 퇴적물이 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 사질퇴적층의 내부퇴적구조는 괴상구조, 평행층리 및 사층리 구조등이 우세하며 니질퇴적층에서는 모래/니질 교호엽리구조가 우세하다. 본 연구 의 결과 만경강-동진강 조간대 퇴적층서는 인근의 방조제 축조에 다른 퇴적환경 변화에 크 게 영향받은 것으로 해석된다, 즉 방조제축소 이전 고에너지의 퇴적환경에서 집적되었던 사 질퇴적층이 방조제축조 이후에는 저에너지 환경조건에서 집적된 니질퇴적물로 피복된 것으 로 해석된다.

Since the reliability of results by the existing analyzing method is low, in the case of for excavation performed in urban area whose stability is of great importance, construction control based on field monitoring is always necessary. But the field monitoring reflects only the behavior of construction process that has already been carried out, and it has limitations in predicting the behavior of the expected construction process, which is practically more important for construction control. In this study, construction control system for excavation which can predict the behavior of the expected processes during construction with high degree of accuracy, is developed by adopting inverse analysis. The inverse analied applied field monitoring results to excavation analysis can improve the reliability of predicted results. The developed system uses an elasto-plastic soil spring model for the excavation analysis and the minimization of least squared errors between measured displacements and calculated displacements for the inverse analysis. All the required processes for construction control can be performed as an integrated work within the system reflecting real time application and user's convenience. Their applicabilitis are confirmed by two case studies.

The objective of this present study is to understand long term(500 years) thermohydromechanical interaction behavior on joints adjacent to a repository cavern, when high level radioactive wastes are disposed of within discontinuous granitic rock masses, and then, to contribute this understanding to the development of a disposal concept. The model includes a saturated discontinuous granitic rock mass, PWR spent nuclear fuels in a disposal canister surrounded with compacted bentonite inside a deposition hole, and mixed bentonite backfilled in the rest of the space within a repository cavern. It is assumed that two joint sets exist within a model. Joint set 1 includes joints of $56^{\circ}$ dip angle, spaced 20m apart, and joint set 2 is in the perpendicular direction to joint set 1 and includes joints of $34^{\circ}$ dip angle, spaced 20m apart. The two dimensional distinct element code, UDEC is used for the analysis. To understand the joint behavior adjacent to the repository cavern, Barton-Bandis joint model is used. Effect of the decay heat from PWR spent fuels on the repository model has been analyzed, and a steady state flow algorithm is used for the hydraulic analysis.

This paper presents analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports and the discontinuity at every junction are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized, which make suppress output ripple through the array ports. Impedance matching and mutual coupling between ports are analyzed and optimized using 12 input and 12 output exponential tapers. The measured results of fabricated lens show ${\pm}$ 1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6∼18 GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$over ${\pm}$53$^{\circ}$angle and agrees well with the analysis results.

강원도 태백 지역에 위치한 조선누층군의 세송층을 대상으로 암상변화, 해수면 변화, 안정탄소동위원소 층서를 조사하였다. 세송층은 중기에서 후기 캄브리아기에 속하는 지층으로서 직동지역과 사군다리지역에서 조사하였다. 직동지역의 세송층은 수평층리 이회암상, 리본 석회암상, 단괴 석회암상, 수평층리 사암상, 석회역암상으로 구성되어 있으며, 이들은 내부완사면, 중부완사면, 외부완사면의 세개의 상조합으로 분류되었다. 세송층의 하부로부터 약 30m 까지는 리본석회암상과 석회역암상, 일부 단괴석회암상이 나타나는 구간으로 중부완사면 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석되며, 약 30m부터 42m 까지는 점차 이회암상의 비율이 증가하여 상향 세립화의 경향성을 보이는 구간으로 외부완사면 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 사군다리 지역은 세송층의 상부가 나타나는 곳으로 평행엽층리사암상과 단괴석회암상이 관찰되며 중부완사면 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 세송층의 석회암은 하부 이암, 중부 와케스톤, 상부 와케스톤과 팩스톤으로 변화하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 세송층에서의 안정탄소동위원소 잘량 분석결과 양의 값(2.5-3.0‰)을 보이는 Peak 구간이 하부로부터 25m 높이 부근에서 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과는 Steptoean 시기(약 496 Ma)에 전 지구적으로 발생했던 안정탄소동위원소 값의 양(positive)의 변동을 반영한 SPICE(Steptoean positive carbon isotope excursion) 구간에 해당되는 것으로 해석된다. SPICE 구간은 세송층의 중상부에 해당하는 곳으로 와케스톤, 팩스톤의 석회암을 포함하는 석회역암상, 단괴 석회암상으로 구성되어 있으며 이는 상대적으로 해수면이 낮았던 시기를 지시한다. 이러한 SPICE는 큰 규모의 전 지구적 탄소순환의 변동을 대표하며 대륙 간의 대비를 용이하게 하고 퇴적당시의 환경적 변화를 해석하는데 도움을 준다. 북중국과 북미 Laurentia의 안정탄소동위원소 값을 비교해보면 두 지역 모두 세송층과 유사한 값을 보인다. 다만 북중국 지역은 Chuangia Zone에서 SPICE가 나타나는 반면 세송층은 Prochuangia Zone에서 SPICE가 나타난다는 차이가 있다.

In general, the tension forces of hanger cable in suspension bridges play an important role in evaluating the bridge conditions. The vibration method, as a conventional one, has been widely applied to estimate the tension forces by using the measured frequencies on hanger cables. However, the vibration method is not applicable to short hanger cables because the fiequencies of short cables are severely sensitive to flexural rigidity. Thus, in this study, the tension forces of short hanger cables, of which the length is shorter than 10 meters, were estimated through back analysis of the cable fiequencies measured from Gwang-An suspension bridge in Korea. Direct approach to back analysis is adopted using the univariate method among the direct search methods as an optimization technique. The univariate method is able to search the optimal tension forces without regard to the initial ones and has a rapid convergence rate. To verify the feasibility of back analysis, the results from back analysis and vibration method are compared with the design tension forces. From the comparison, it can be inferred that back analysis results are more reasonable agreement with the design tension forces of short hanger cable. Therefore, it is concluded that back analysis applied in this study is an appropriate tool for estimating tension forces of short hanger cables.

Limit equilibrium analysis and finite difference analysis were used to evaluate slope stability in the in Gohan, Korea, which is affected by large-scale tensile cracks and uplift. There is a thick colluvial layer in the study area and predicting ground behavior is problematic because the presence of clay makes it difficult to determine the strength parameters of the soil. Consequently, a numerical model able to reflect the collapse properties of the site was required that applied the modified boundary layer model and calculated the strength parameters using back analysis. The numerical simulation results that consider the strength parameter one does with the present situation the establishment of the pile is completed, and the simulation is able to asses ground stability in complex terrain in a reliable manner. Also the somewhat it judges with the fact that it will be able to provide the fundamental data which secures the stability of the segment where it is unstable.

Applicabilities of two numerical methods, the 2-dimensional and the 3-dimensional method, are evaluated to inverse test results obtained from the underwater SASW(Spectral -Analysis-of-Surface-Waves) method. As a result of this study, it has been found that the 2-dimensional method can supposed to be applicable for the cases where stiffness of soil layer increases gradually with depth, and the stiffness is relatively low. For the other cases, however, it has been concluded that the 3-dimensional method needs to be applied to determine realistic theoretical dispersion curves. An example is also shown that in situ soil profile underwater is estimated from experimental dispersion curves using the 3-dimensional method. As a results, it can be concluded that the underwater SASW method can be effectively applied to explore the underwater soil condition.
