We have carried out a nondestructive close examination for the purpose of the structural safety diagnosis of the Three-Story Pagoda(Seokga Pagoda) in Bulkuk temple in the city of Kyungju, Kyungbuk, Korea. Ultrasonic wave velocities were measured at 456 points of the pagoda comprising 44 blocks to estimate the mechanical properties of rock blocks constituting the pagoda. The measured velocities have the range of 1217 to 4403 m/sec with the average of 3227 m/sec. The empirical relationship between the ultrasonic velocity and the uniaxial compressive strength yielded the estimation of strength of each block, ranging from 134 to 844 kg/cm^2 and averaging 463 kg/cm^2. With an assumption that the strength of each block is described as a random variables having a normal distribution, we calculated the probability of failure of rock blocks of the pagoda. Our investigation revealed that the probability of the structural failure due to the weight of higher blocks is very low. However, the probability of partial failure around contact area is substantial, which is consistent with the appearance that edges and the corners of some blocks were broken off. The platform under the body of the pagoda appeared to be structurally weak as the probability of tensile failure of the lower platform is up to 18%, and diagonal fractures are shown where the probability of failure is high.

The subject of this study is the Maae Buddha statue in granodiorite of the Mesozoic Cretaceous period, which is concerned about stability as a standing stone cultural property located in ◯◯-dong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. For stability analysis, three-dimensional face mapping, geological properties of joints, three-dimensional scanning, ultrasonic velocity, polarization microscopy, electron microscopy analysis and XRD analysis were performed. In addition, the safety factor of the Maaebul was calculated by analyzing the damage status investigation, stereographic projection analysis, rock classification, and limit equilibrium analysis. The types and scales of damage and possible collapse by section depend on the degree of weathering of the rock and the orientation and characteristics of the joints, but wedge-failure and toppling-failure are expected to be small-scale. The safety factor of Maaebul in dry and wet conditions is less than 1.2, so stability is concerned. The types of damage were mainly observed, such as exfoliation, cracking, granular decomposition, and vegetation growth. The Maaebul rock is granodiorite, and the surface discoloration materials are K, Fe, and Mg. The 4 sets of joints are developed, J1 is tensile joint and the others are shear joint. The uniaxial compressive strength estimated by ultrasonic exploration is 514kgf/cm2, which corresponds to most soft rocks and some weathered rocks. Rock classification(RMR) is estimated to be grade 5, very poor rock mass. These technique along with the existing methods of safety diagnosis of cultural properties are expected to be a reasonable tool for objective interpretation and stability review of stone cultural properties.

도로의 가드레일 지주 근입깊이의 부족에 의한 자동차의 전락사고 이 후, 일본의 국토교통성 등의 관계자들이 그 대책 세우기에 부심해 왔으나, 기설 지주의 근입깊이를 측정할 수 있는 방법은 아직까지 알려져 있지 않으며, 현재로서는 작업의 전 과정을 비디오로 촬영하여 그 기록을 남기도록 되어있다. 그러나 그것은 상당히 비효율적인 작업으로 엄밀한 감시기능을 다하지 못하고 있으며, 감독자와 시공자의 양자로부터 계측 도구의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 일부의 초음파 측정기 업자가 가드레일 지주의 근입깊이를 측정할 수 있다고 주장하고 있으나, 시장에는 아직 나타나지 않고 있으며, 그 측정시스템의 측정여부와 성능의 검증이 이루어지지 않고 있는 상황이다. 지금까지 충격탄성파법 또는 초음파법을 이용하여, 매설된 가드레일 지주의 근입깊이를 측정한 성공사례가 정식으로 보고된 바는 없으며, 같은 강관주인 눈사태 방지책의 지주 파이프에 대한 근입깊이의 측정은 본 연구그룹의 의해 행하여진 바가 있다. 검사봉이나 해머 등으로 대상물을 두드려서 탄성파를 발생시키고, 그것을 가속도계 또는 속도계의 진동센서로 감지하여 그 파형을 분석함으로써 대상물의 치수 등을 측정하는 충격탄성파법은, 특히 콘크리트를 대상으로 공동 및 매설물 등의 탐사, 균열깊이의 측정 등에 폭 넓게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이 측정방법을 가드레일의 지주의 근입깊이 측정에 적용할 경우, 일반적으로 행하여지는 방법, 즉 진동센서를 대상물의 상단부(캡)에 설치하는 방법으로는 접합부에 의한 탄성파의 손실과 캡의 휨 진동에 의한 노이즈 등을 해결하기가 곤란해진다. 또한 지반의 존재로 인한 진동 모드의 변화와 진동에너지의 감소 등의 문제점을 해결하지 않으면 안 된다. 본 연구는 충격탄성파법을 이용하여 지반에 설치된 눈사태 방지책이나 가드레일의 지주와 같은 강관 구조물의 근입깊이를 측정하고자 하는 연구이다. 이를 위해 진동센서를 캡이 아닌 측면부에 취부장치를 이용하여 설치함으로써 길이방향의 탄성파를 측정할 수 있도록 하고, 실제 구조물에 대해 측정을 실시하여 그 측정시스템의 성능과 유용성을 검토하고자 한다. 또한 다양한 길이의 실험용 강관 파이프를 매설하고 측정실험을 실시하여 측정시스템의 적용성에 대해서도 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통하여, 수신센서를 파이프의 측면에 선접촉하게 함으로서 종파를 감지하여 근입깊이를 포함한 파이프의 전 길이를 측정하는 본 측정시스템은 매설된 강관 구조물의 길이 측정에 기본적으로 적용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 오거 굴착으로 시공된 경우에는 높은 정도의 측정성능을 보여주었다. 또한 항타관입 파이프에 대해서는 지반의 영향을 고려함으로써 길이의 측정이 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 오거 굴착 또는 항타 관입 등 시공방법에 따라 측정결과에 대한 지반의 영향 정도가 달라지며 파형 분석 및 길이 산정시 그 영향을 고려하여야 함을 확인하였다.

To clarify the distribution of joints and fracture zones in the Cheongju granitic mass, we analyzed drill-core and geophysical well-logging data obtained at two boreholes located 30 m from each other. Lithological properties were investigated from the drill-core data and the samples were classified based on the rock mass rating (RMR) and on rock quality designation (RQD). Subsurface discontinuities within soft and hard rocks were examined by geophysical well-logging and cross-hole seismic tomography. The velocity structures constructed from seismic tomography are well correlated with the profile of bedrock depth, previously mapped from a seismic refraction survey. Dynamic elastic moduli, obtained from full waveform sonic and ${\gamma}-{\gamma}$ logging, were interrelated with P-wave velocities to investigate the dynamic properties of the rock mass. Compared with the correlation graph between elastic moduli and velocities for hard rock at borehole BH-1, the correlation points for BH-2 data showed a wide scatter. These scattered points reflect the greater abundance of joints and fractures near borehole BH-2. This interpretation is supported by observations by acoustic televiewer (ATV) and optical televiewer (OTV) image loggings.

To investigate the characteristics of detailed flows in a building-congested district, we coupled a computation fluid dynamics (CFD) model to the local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS), a current operational numerical weather prediction model of the Korea Meteorological Administration. For realistic numerical simulations, we used the meteorological variables such as wind speeds and directions and potential temperatures predicted by LDAPS as the initial and boundary conditions of the CFD model. We trilinearly interpolated the horizontal wind components of LDAPS to provide the initial and boudnary wind velocities to the CFD model. The trilinearly interpolated potential temperatures of LDAPS is converted to temperatures at each grid point of the CFD model. We linearly interpolated the horizontal wind components of LDAPS to provide the initial and boundary wind velocities to the CFD model. The linearly interpolated potential temperatures of LDAPS are converted to temperatures at each grid point of the CFD model. We validated the simulated wind speeds and directions against those measured at the PKNU-SONIC station. The LDAPS-CFD model reproduced similar wind directions and wind speeds measured at the PKNU-SONIC station. At 07 LST on 22 June 2020, the inflow was east-north-easterly. Flow distortion by buildings resulted in the east-south-easterly at the PKNU-SONIC station, which was the similar wind direction to the measured one. At 19 LST when the inflow was southeasterly, the LDAPS-CFD model simulated southeasterly (similar to the measured wind direction) at the PKNU-SONIC station.

Heterogeneous background fractures of granite and sedimentary rocks in Gyeongju LILW (low-intermediate level radioactive waste) facility area have been characterized quantitatively by analyzing fracture parameters (orientation, intensity, and size). Surface geological survey, electrical resistivity survey, and acoustic televiewer log data were used to characterize the heterogeneity of background fractures. Bootstrap method was applied to represent spatial anisotropy of variably oriented background fractures in the study area. As a result, the fracture intensity was correlated to the inverse distance from the faults weighted by nearest fault size and the mean value of electrical resistivity and the average volumetric fracture intensity ($P_{32}$) was estimated as $3.1m^2/m^3$. Size (or equivalent radius) of the background fractures ranged from 1.5 m to 86 m and followed to power-law distribution based on the fractal property of fracture size, using fractures measured on underground silos and identified surface faults.

저수지 수질모형의 기초자료로서의 수체의 수리학적 인자는 물리적인 자료이므로 많은 실측 자료를 필요로 한다. 이러한 자료의 취득을 위하여 수체의 수심을 측정하고, 대상구역의 수계특성을 잘 반영할 수 있도록 수체를 분할하여 각 구간별 수체 중심, 특성길이, 연직 및 수평 단면적, 수표면적, 수체적, 수로경사 등을 구하여 사용한다. 이러한 자료의 취득은 여러 가지 어려움으로 인하여 조사지점이 조밀하지 못하거나 계간방법이 개발되지 못하는 등의 이유로 인하여 실제값과 상당한 차이를 나타내기도 하므로 이를 개선할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 최근에 개발된 다중 음향탐사기 (MBES)는 초음파를 발사하여 하상에서 반사한 파의 시간을 측정하고 거리로 환산하여 수심을 측정하는 것으로 여러 지점의 수심을 동시에 스캔할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 MBES는 수신기의 지향각이 존재하므로 파의 반사지점을 정확하게 파악할 수 있다. 단일 음향측심기는 측선을 따라 수심을 측정하므로 조사간격이 넓어 정확한 수로정보를 얻기에는 미흡한 점이 있으나 MBES는 수체 전체를 $1\times1m$ 당 $4\~5$ 번의 측정하고, 변화가 심한 호저면에서도 수심오차 $5\~8 cm$의 고분해능을 갖는다. 이를 이용하면 하상의 수심에 내한 3차원의 연속분포를 생성하고, 하상의 지형적인 특징을 조사${\cdot}$ 분석할 수 있으며 하상의 성상과정에 관한 기초자료로도 활용한 수 있다. 수체정보를 산정할 때 단일 음향측심법은 간접적으로 자료를 취득하므로 주관적인 견해 및 큰 오차를 내포하고 있으나, MBES는 Hypack Max를 이용하여 구획한 구간에 따른 수표면적과 연직단면적 및 수체적을 자동으로 계산한다. 그리고 측정한 자료의 raw data를 이용하면 각 구간에 대한 무게중심을 구하여 중점으로 사용 가능하고, 종방향의 구축을 산정하여 수로의 깊이 및 중심간 길이를 정확하게 계산할 수 있다.

Three differing sandstones, two synthetic and one field sample, have been tested ultrasonically under a range of confining pressures and pore pressures representative of in-situ reservoir pressures. These sandstones include: a synthetic sandstone with calcite intergranular cement produced using the CSIRO Calcite In-situ Precipitation Process (CIPS); a synthetic sandstone with silica intergranular cement; and a core sample from the Otway Basin Waarre Formation, Boggy Creek 1 well, from the target lithology for a trial $CO_2$ pilot project. Initial testing was carried on the cores at "room-dried" conditions, with confining pressures up to 65 MPa in steps of 5 MPa. All cores were then flooded with $CO_2$, initially in the gas phase at 6 MPa, $22^{\circ}C$, then with liquid-phase $CO_2$ at a temperature of $22^{\circ}C$ and pressures from 7 MPa to 17 MPa in steps of 5 MPa. Confining pressures varied from 10 MPa to 65 MPa. Ultrasonic waveforms for both P- and S-waves were recorded at each effective pressure increment. Velocity versus effective pressure responses were calculated from the experimental data for both P- and S-waves. Attenuations $(1/Q_p)$ were calculated from the waveform data using spectral ratio methods. Theoretical calculations of velocity as a function of effective pressure for each sandstone were made using the $CO_2$ pressure-density and $CO_2$ bulk modulus-pressure phase diagrams and Gassmann effective medium theory. Flooding the cores with gaseous phase $CO_2$ produced negligible change in velocity-effective stress relationships compared to the dry state (air saturated). Flooding with liquid-phase $CO_2$ at various pore pressures lowered velocities by approximately 8% on average compared to the air-saturated state. Attenuations increased with liquid-phase $CO_2$ flooding compared to the air-saturated case. Experimental data agreed with the Gassmann calculations at high effective pressures. The "critical" effective pressure, at which agreement with theory occurred, varied with sandstone type. Discrepancies are thought to be due to differing micro-crack populations in the microstructure of each sandstone type. The agreement with theory at high effective pressures is significant and gives some confidence in predicting seismic behaviour under field conditions when $CO_2$ is injected.

This study focus on the surface deterioration diagnosis based on the material characteristics of Taean Dongmunri Maaesamjonbulipsang(rock-carved standing triad Buddha Statue) and the weathering environment analysis. Rock materials of the triad Buddha is coarse-grained biotite granite which is composed mainly of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and muscovite. The triad Buddha was serious surface irregularity(13.5%), exfoliation(12.3%) and discoloration(46.6%), and the physical characteristics using ultrasonic velocity appeared fourth grade (0.59, highly weathered). Korean style wooden shelter of the triad Buddha(closed type) maintained high humidity environment (daily mean; 86.6%) than exterior environment, and appeared the possibility of deterioration by freezing-thawing because the temperature showed below zero temperatures in winter. The shelter was changed from closed-type to open-type to relieve the moisture problem recently. But the moisture problem is yet to be solved because surface water flowing along northern wayside is flowed into triad Buddha. Therefore, environmental control will need to stop inflow of water into triad Buddha.
