Resistivity method has been used for the dam safety inspection and, for the convenience of fieldwork, two-dimensional (2D) resistivity data has been usually measured along the dam crest. However, since the dam has three-dimensional (3D) structure, 2D resistivity survey along the dam crest violates 2D assumption and 3D effects caused by 3D topography and material properties in the dam distort the inversion result of 2D resistivity data acquired along the dam crest. Furthermore, it is really hard to evaluate the 3D structure of the dam and 3D leakage pathway using 2D resistivity survey because 2D resistivity survey can provide only 2D resistivity section beneath the survey line. In this study, 3D resistivity survey was conducted at a dam in Korea. By comparing the results from 3D and 2D resistivity surveys, merit and demerits of 3D survey were investigated. Finally, it was confirmed that 3D survey can provide more accurate information about the dam status and 3D leakage pathway compared to the 2D survey. Therefore the 3D resistivity survey should be actively expanded for more accurate dam safety inspection even though more time and expense are required.

The electrical characteristics of soils have been used for investigating soil properties. The purpose of this study is the development and application of the electrical resistivity cone probe (ERCP) for the evelation of the porosity in the field with high precision. The shape of the probe tip is a cone shape to minimize the disturbance during penetration. In addition, the four terminal pair configuration is adopted to minimize the electrical interference. The electrical resistances are continuously measured during penetration of the ERCP using penetration rigs with 0.33 mm/sec penetration rate at Incheon and Busan sites. With the measured resistance profile and electrical resisivity of electrolyte of undisturbed samples, soil porosity profiles are obtained by using Archie's law. The empirical coefficients for the Archie's law are obtained based on the electrolyte extracted from the undisturbed samples. The estimated porosity profiles show similar trends to those of in-situ penetration tests such as SPT, CPT, and DMT. This study suggests that the ERCP may be an effective tool for the porosity estimation in the field with minimum disturbance.

The sea dike is the most important facility of reclamation projects, and plays an important role in securing freshwater in the reservoir. Systematic research on practical approaches and data analysis techniques are lacking even though some geophysical methods such as electrical resistivity and self-potential surveys are included within the inspection processes. Hence, geophysical methods were considered for improvement of precision safety diagnosis methods after problems in the maintenance system have been identified, such as safety checks and precision safety diagnoses. In addition, geophysical methods customized according to variations in ambient environmental limiting factors such as pore pressure changes by tidal fluctuation, compaction characteristics of the fill materials, and the surface condition of the embankment were suggested.

The effect of humic acid (HA), and the roles of microfiltration (MF), PES (polyethersulfone) beads adsorption, and photo-oxidation were investigated in hybrid process of ceramic MF and PES beads loaded with titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photocatalyst for advanced drinking water treatment. Those were compared and studied in viewpoints of membrane fouling resistance ($R_f$), permeate flux (J), and total permeate volume ($V_T$). Because membrane fouling increased dramatically as decreasing HA, $R_f$ increased and J decreased, and finally $V_T$ was the highest at 2 mg/L HA. In the experiment to investigate the roles of photo-oxidation and adsorption at humic acid 4 mg/L and 6 mg/L. In both conditions, $R_f$ was the lowest and $V_T$ was the highest in MF + $TiO_2$ + UV process. The average treatment efficiencies of turbidity and dissolved organic matters were the highest in MF + $TiO_2$ + UV process, too.

상사실험법(analogous experimental method)이라 함은 물리적현상을 다른 물리적현상으로 변환 하여, 후자를 실험적으로 측정하여 전자의 제반 물리량을 얻는 과정을 말한다. 이 때 두 물리량 사이에는 수학적 상사관계, 특히 미분방정식 상의 유사관계가 성립함을 전제로 한다. 일반적으로 임의형상의 내부응력을 실험적으로 해석하는 데는 탄소성 변위를 직접 전기적저항으로 바꾸어 측정하는 방법(strain gauge method)이나 광파의 간섭무늬(fringe)로 가시화하는 광탄성 법(photoelastic method), 또는 전자계산기를 이용하여 분할요소해석의 연계집적으로서 얻는 유 한요소법(F.E.M) 등이 널리 사용되고 있으나, 이들은 다같이 그 나름대로의 장단점을 지니고 있다. 전기저항식은 변형을 직접 측정할 수 있어 측정의 오차를 줄일 수 있고, 특히 실물측정과 동하중 해석에는 큰 강점이 있으나, 점해석(point by analysis)이기 때문에 전시야적인 분포를 파악하기 어렵다. 또한 광탄성법은 명료한 전시야적 분포를 얻을 수 있지만 모형해석(model analysis)이기 때문에 정밀한 모형제작의 어려움이 수반되며, F.E.M.(B.E.M.도 포함)은 복잡한 형상에서의 요소분할이 매우 어렵고, 경계조건의 정확한 설정에 문제가 있다. 따라서 여러 실험적 방법은 실측대상에 따라 그 장단점을 감안하여 선택되어야 하며, 이 글에서 논술하고자 하는 상사실험법에 의한 응력해석도 이러한 관점에서 지금까지의 일련의 연구결과를 종합하여 그 효 용적인 용도, 응용 및 그 전망과 더불어 장차 해결하여야 할 2,3의 문제를 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, a new Mac-wave detection system by strain gage is constructed for study on a Mac-wave which is major factor of diagnosis in oriental medicine. Inherent resistance of a strain gage is linearly changed with strain of the sensor, thus the Mac-wave of wrist can be detected by using of the strain gage. A precision bridge circuit and high sensitive amplifier is designed for detecting the change of resistance of the strain gage in this experiments. A very small change of Mac-wave is acquired in the circuit. And the digital signal of the detected Mac-wave are acquired on a PC by multichannel A/D converter and displayed graphically by programming. The characteristics of the Mac-wave of sampled 6 persons in the time and the frequency domain are analysed, therefore the usefulness of the system constructed in this experiments are proved.

Fine wires made from platinum have been used as sensors to evaluate the convection performance of nanofluids. However, the wire sensor is difficult to handle due to its fragility. Additionally, an unrealistic convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is obtained if a rigorous calibration process combined with precision equipment is not used for measurement. This paper proposes a new evaluation apparatus for h of nanofluids that uses a thermistor sensor instead of the platinum wire. The working principles are also explained in detail. Validation experiments for pure engine oil comparing h from the two sensors confirmed numerous practical benefits of the thermistor. The proposed system can be used as a useful tool to justify the adoption of developed nanofluids.

Effect of backflushing on the membrane fouling for polyethylene capillary membranes was examined by measuring the flux of $Al_2O_3$ colloidal suspensions through the cross flow microfiltration. In the comparison of with and without the application of backflushing, the hydraulic resistance to permeate flow of the suspension was less with backfluslng, but the Increasing rate in permeate resistance was higher. Regardless of backflushing, the cake filtration was dominant at the initial period of filtration with backflushing, being followed by the pore blocking. And at steady state, the fouling mechanism is almost governed by the cake filtration model. On the contrary, the pore blocking preceded the cake filtration in the initial stage of the original membrane before backflushing. And irrespective of backflushing, the ratio of cake filtration to total fouling increased, compared with that fur before backflushing. For the membrane with $0.24{\mu}m$ pore size, the permeate resistance was higher than that of $0.34{\mu}m$ pore size membrane. but the ratio of cake filtration was smaller than that of large pore membrane. In comparing the ratio of each fouling component to the total fouling for the case with backflushing pore blocking was 7.8% and cake filtration was 92.2%. for the case without backflushing, total fouling was composed of 9.6% pore blocking and 90.4% cake filtration.
