We try to evaluate the stock level of Korean transportation infrastructure comparing Korean SOC stock level with those of OECD countries. In order to do so, we work on indices to show the transportation infrastructure stock levels of various countries. Among several indices, we select the effective road-extension rate per population density and the effective railroad-extension rate per population density corresponding to road and railroad. We compare Korean road and railroad stock levels with those of OECD countries, to make use of the effective road-extension rate per population density and effective railroad-extension rate per population density. We choose the Britain, Greece, Portugal, and Sweden to compare Korea because their sizes of population and territory are similar to those of Korea. Using International comparison, we arrive at the conclusion that Korean road and railroad stock levels are 63.4% and 53.2% of those of four countries respectively. In addition, we estimate the target level of road and railroad stocks and compute the target level of investments in road and railroad based on the result.

Transport Social Overhead Capital refers to public utilities necessary for a nation's basic economic activities, and is divided into roads, railway, subway, ports and so on. It is important to be able to provide these SOC in the right place at the right time to enhance productivity and competitiveness of a nation. In this study, correlation and factor analysis on countries' socioeconomic and transport indicators were performed in order to understand the need for expansion of SOCs including railway, and to identify the impact they have on national competitiveness(productivity). As a result, GDP showed high correlativity(0.59~0.99) with factors such as population, land area, extension of available railroad, and road extension. Specifically, through the analysis of Russia's urban transport system and comparison between socioeconomic indices and SOCs of OECD countries, it was examined that how increasing transport infrastructure investments could enhance national competitiveness. In conclusion, opening new Light Rail greatly affects the growth of GDP followed by the increasing extension of available railroad. Furthermore, if available railroad extension is increased by 10 % from 2014, assuming high speed tram is opened, GDP will likely increase by 21.6%.

본 연구는 서울과 5대 광역시를 대상으로 (1) 과거추세가 연장되는 시나리오와 (2) 최근 활발하게 논의되고 있는 스마트 성장, 컴펙트 개발 등을 고려한 도시성장 시나리오를 전제로 미래의 토지이용의 변화를 예측하였다. 토지이용 변화 예측에는 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 기반으로 한 CLUE-s(Conservation of Land Use and its Effects at Small regional extent) 모형을 이용하였다. 토지이용 변화예측을 위해 WAMIS(WAter Management Information System)에서 제공하는 1975년부터 2000년까지의 5년 단위의 토지이용별 통계자료와 환경부에서 제공하는 2008년 토지이용도를 구축하였으며, 각 토지이용 항목은 총 6가지(시가지, 수역, 산림, 논, 밭, 초지)로 재분류하였다. 도시성장 시나리오는 지자체 조례에 따른 물리적 개발기준과 국토 환경성 평가 지도를 바탕으로 개발 제한 구역을 설정하고, 미래 인구변화와 토지수요 수요량 추정을 통해 미래 토지이용 변화 예측 시나리오를 구축하였다. 또한 도로망, 하천망과 유효 토심, 토양통 등을 고려한 토양 속성을 토지 피복 변화 예측을 위한 모형의 동적 요소(driving factor)로 대입하였다. 두 가지의 시나리오를 통해 미래 토지 이용 변화 예측결과 각 시나리오에 따라 확연히 다른 양상의 토지이용 변화 패턴을 보였다. 과거추세가 연장되는 시나리오에서는 물리적인 토지개발 기준 범위 내에서 무작위로 토지이용이 변화하며 시가지가 급속하게 성장하는 패턴을 보여주었다. 반면, 도시성장 시나리오를 전제로 하였을 경우 기존의 시가지와 연계하여 인근에 위치한 미개발지가 시가지로 변화하는 양상을 보였으며, 로그 추세로 증가 혹은 감소하는 패턴에 따라 변화폭이 줄어들며 종래에는 각 토지이용의 변화량이 0%로 수렴하는 모습을 보였다. 토지이용 변화 비율은 두 가지 시나리오 모두 주로 산지와 농지가 감소하고 시가지가 증가하는 모습을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 구축한 미래 토지이용 변화 시나리오는 수문생태계에 큰 영향을 주는 지표의 변화에 대해 회귀분석을 기반으로 정량적인 예측을 가능케 함으로써 기후변화 시나리오 등 다양한 미래 예측 시나리오와의 접목을 통해 미래 수자원 예측 연구에 활용도를 높일 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

A popular alternative to extend the life of aged pavement is asphalt overlay. However, it has a very serious and inherent shortcoming in deterring a reflection crack. Although joint-rehabilitation and stress-relief techniques have been applied to deter such reflection cracks in aged pavement, the techniques had a limited success only in slowing down the progress of a reflection crack. Rubblization technique rubblizes the concrete pavement slab in situ and uses the rubblized slab as the base material. Then, pavement overlay is applied to finish off the rehabilitation of aged pavement. This rubblization technique has the advantage of solving the problem of reflection cracking completely. When rubblization technique is applied, the upper layer of aged concrete pavement is rubblized between 40mm-70mm in depth. However, the lower layer is typically rubblized more than 100mm in depth. Nevertheless, it is difficult to turn the entire concrete pavement of more than 30cm in depth into rubblized aggregate of appropriate size. Thus, a simulation experiment was carried out to find the appropriate rubblized depth, which avoids the reflection cracking and still maintains the function of subbase, by varying the depth of rubblized depth in loom increments of 0cm, 10cm, and 20cm. The result indicated the optimum rubblized depth was 10cm (Lee, 2006). Additionally, a small rubblizinge equipment was developed in order to derive the rubblization technique appropriate for thick concrete pavement. This equipment was tested out on an experimental pavement, which was constructed with the same standard and specification for the road in actual use, by varying its rubblizing head shape and energy as well as the effective area of rubblization. This experiment led to a prototype equipment for rubblization of thick concrete pavement. The prototype was put into use on a highway, undergoing a test construction and monitoring afterwards. This entire process was necessary for the validation of the proposed rubblization technique.

A true MSEW abutment is an abutment type that directly supports the load of a superstructure. Metal strips, which are in-extensile reinforcements, should be used to minimize abutment deformation. A study to derive the application conditions of a True MSEW abutment was carried out by Zevogolis(2007). As a result, the pullout factor of safety of the uppermost reinforcement was estimated to be the smallest. Therefore, the pullout factor of safety of the uppermost reinforcement is the most important design factor. Parameter analysis was conducted with the abutment length, abutment heel, and abutment height as variables. The pullout factor of safety increased with increasing abutment length and abutment heel length. This is because the contact area increases and the superstructure is dispersed as the abutment length and abutment heel length increase. The pullout factor of safety converges at an abutment length of 1.2m and an abutment heel length of 0.9m. This is because the effective length of the reinforcement is reduced due to the increase in contact area. On the other hand, the extension of the superstructure will increase if the abutment length and abutment heel length are increased excessively. In addition, earth-volume is increased if the abutment height increases excessively. This acts as an upper load on the MSE wall. Therefore, it needs to be examined carefully.
