Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution continues to degrade the water quality. NPS pollutants signals high concerns against a sustainable environment. Low impact development (LID) is the leading management practice which regulates and treats stormwater runoff especially in highly impervious urban areas. Constructed wetlands are known to have efficient removal capability of NPS pollutants. Likewise, these LID facilities were intended to maintain the predeveloped hydrologic regime through series of mechanisms such as particle settling, filtration, plant uptake, and etc. In this study, the objective was to investigate the characteristics, fate and treatment performance of the two in-campus constructed wetlands (SW1 and SW2) which were installed adjacent to impervious roads and parking lots to treat stormwater runoff. A total of 42 storm events were monitored starting from July 2010 until November 2015. Manual grab sampling was utilized at the inlet and outlet units of each LID facilities. Based on the results, the wetlands were found to be effective in reducing 37% and 41% of the total runoff volume and peak flows, respectively. Aside from this, outflow EMCs were generally lower than the inflow EMCs in most events suggesting that the two wetlands improved the water quality of stormwater runoff. The average removal efficiency of pollutants in facilities were 63~79% in TSS, 38~54% in TN, 54% in TP and 32%~81% in metals. The results of this study recommend the use of constructed wetlands as efficient treatment facility for urban areas for its satisfactory performance in runoff and pollutant reduction.

최근 기후변화 및 도시화의 영향으로 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 자연재난이 점점 심화되고 있다. 습지는 유속과 수위를 낮추는 홍수조절 효과가 있으며 가뭄시에는 물을 저장하는 역할을 하여, 인공습지의 조성은 심각해지는 홍수 및 가뭄에 해결방안으로 활용될 수 있다. 기존의 인공습지에 관한 연구는 식생과 수질정화기능과 종 다양성 등 생태적 기능에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어져왔으며, 인공습지의 홍수조절 효과에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 경안천 유역에 인공습지 조성에 따른 수문학적 홍수저감효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 수리모형인 HEC-RAS를 통하여 가상의 인공습지를 모형화 하여 인공습지 조성 전 후에 대한 홍수위를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 홍수범람을 모의하여 대상유역의 침수심 및 침수면적을 산정하고 이를 다차원홍수피해액산정법을 통하여 인공습지 조성 전 후에 대한 홍수피해액을 추정하였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 인공습지 조성 사업 시 사업의 경제적 타당성을 평가하며, 인공습지 설계의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

With the improvement of medical state, patients' expectations for the most advanced medical equipment are increasing. Particularly, Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is used as one of the core image diagnosis methods in all clinical area. However, it has been reported that many of patients who go through the examination suffer from anxiety to the severe noise level during the examination. In this study, both the noise reduction evaluation of headsets with sound-blocking materials added to existing sound-absorbing materials and the existence of sound blocking materials as artifacts on the examination image are tested. An MRI test noise is recorded as a speaker by cross-ordination the sound material (sponge) and the sound material (acrylic plate, copper plate, and 3D copper plate) inside the headset made from 3D pring. A quantitative assessment of headsets showed that the average headset value was 81.8 dB. The average dB value of the most soundproof material combination(Copper, acrylic plate, sponge, sponge) headsets on headsets with added charactering material was measured at 70.4 dB, and MRI showed that the copper was diamagnetic substance and excluded. The second most soundproof headset(Sponge, acrylic plate, 3D copper plate, sponge) was measured at 70.6 dB and MRI showed no artifacts. The same simulation of the material printed with a 3D copper PLA containing approximately 40 % copper powder resulted in no artifacts, therefore, the material output as a 3D printing was better suited for use. For MRI related research, the mutual development of 3D printing is highly anticipated.

Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are eco-friendly storm water management process for water circulation restoration and non-point pollutant reduction. In this study, four LID techniques (Small constructed wetland, Infiltration trench box, Infiltration trench, Vegetated swale) were selected and installed as a real size at the real site. All facilities were evaluated as monitoring under the real environmental climate situation and an artificial rain with exceeding design rainfall. In various rainfall, runoff reduction efficiency and non-point pollutant removal efficiency are increased to the bigger Surface Area of LID (SA)/Catchment Area (CA) ratio and the bigger Storage Volume of LID (SV)/Catchment Area (CA) ratio. Runoff did not occur at all rainfall event (max. 17.2 mm) in infiltration trench and vegetated swale. But Small constructed wetland was more efficient at less than 10 mm, a efficiency of infiltration trench box was similar at different rainfall. Although different conditions (such as structural material of LID, rainfall flow rate, antecedent dry periods), LID techniques are good effects not only water circulation improvement but also water quality improvement.

우리나라는 산지가 국토의 64%이상으로 토석류 등 지반재해의 위험성에 노출되어 있다. 토석류에 의한 피해는 예측하기 매우 힘들고 외력도 한순간에 가옥을 파괴할 정도로 매우 거대하기 때문에 지진에 의한 피해를 제외하고는 매년 반복하여 막대한 재산 및 인적손실을 발생시키고 있는 재해이다. 도심지의 경우 토석류의 피해발생시 도로 및 건물 등 재산과 인적 피해가 크기 때문에 큰 이슈화가 되며 토석류가 산지 내에서 발생할 경우 해당 피해지역에 마을 민가나 교량 등이 위치하지 않으면 토석류의 피해를 인식하기 어려워 이에 따른 조치도 늦어지고 있다. 이에 국내 및 국외에서는 산지 및 도심지의 토석류 피해를 저감하기 위하여 토석류 유출저감시설(사방댐)의 설치를 통하여 토석류 흐름 및 인공구조물들을 보호하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 수치모형인 RAMMS모형과 Flo-2d모형을 이용하여 동일 매개변수를 적용 후 토석류 수치모델링을 실시하였다. 토석류 피해지에 토석류 유출저감시설의 존재 유 무에 따른 토석류 피해범위, 유출량 등을 산정하였으며 토석류 유출저감시설의 위치에 따른 피해저감 효과를 분석하였다.

In order to reduce seismic responses of a structure, additional dampers and vibration control devices are generally considered. Usually, control performance of additional devices are investigated for optimal design without variation of characteristics of a structure. In this study, multi-objective integrated optimization of structure-smart control device is conducted and possibility of reduction of structural resources of a building structure with smart top-story isolation system has been investigated. To this end, 20-story example building structure was selected and an MR damper and low damping elastomeric bearings were used to compose a smart base isolation system. Artificial earthquakes generated based on design spectrum of low-to-moderate seismicity regions are used for structural analyses. Based on numerical simulation results, it has been shown that a smart top-story isolation system can effectively reduce both structural responses and isolation story drifts of the building structure in low-to-moderate seismicity regions. The integrated optimal design method proposed in this study can provide various optimal designs that presents good control performance by appropriately reducing the amount of structural material and damping device.
