Palaeomagnesim of Paleozoic Tuwibong Type Sequence in Yemi area was studied with a total of 256 core-samples collected from 23 sites. The study area (geographical coordinates: 37.l8$^{\circ}$N, l28.610E) is located between Taebaek and Yongwol belonging to the northeastern part of the Okchon Belt. Thermal cleaning was a most effective method to extract stable characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) direction, even though AF cleaning also worked on some specimens. Mean ChRM direction of the Cambrian Hwajol Formation was different from the present-day field direction and showed maximum clustering (max. k value) at 100% bedding-tilt correction. However, it could not pass the fold test. Ordovician Makkol and Kosong Limestones as well as Permian Sadong and Kobangsan Formations have very weak NRM, and were remagnetized into the present-day field direction. ChRM directions from the Carboniferous Hongjom Formation passed both fold and reversal tests. IRM experiments and blocking temperature spectrum indicate that both magnetite and haematite are carrier of the primary magnetization. Palaeomagnetic pole position from the Carboniferous Hongjom Formation is very similar to that of contemporary North China Block (NCB) suggesting that the study area was a part of, or located very near to, the NCB during Carboniferous.

High-rise building shapes are changing from orthogonal to irregular form and the current trend is to arrange members in geometric grid-patterns at the perimeter of buildings. This study proposes a simple model for the preliminary design of a hexagrid high-rise building. The size of the cross section is set to be different at each module and hexagrid unit, which is different from the previous studies in which all hexagrid members were the same. To examine the effect of hexagrid size on structural performance, 60-story hexagrid buildings with 1-, 2- and 4-story high modules are designed and analyzed. Maximum lateral displacement, steel tonnage, load carrying percentage of perimeter frame and combined strength ratio are compared for 15 buildings. As the lateral load carrying capacity of hexagrid structure was inferior to a diagrid structural system, proper lateral stiffness should be allocated to the core frame in a hexagrid structure. The best ratio of flexural to shear deformation was 4 and larger unit size was better in considering constructional cost and structural efficiency. As the maximum lateral displacements of the buildings were within 84%~108% of the limit, the proposed method seems to be applicable to preliminary design of hexagrid buildings.

Defects of dam body which can be induced in seepage or leakage procedure can directly affect dam safety. Therefore, a proper inspection method should be carried out in the first place to find out their positions and sizes, After that, some reinforcement works such as grouting and the corresponding assessment could be taken in a proper way. The dam(center core type earth dam) issued in this study has been in need for intensive diagnosis and reinforcement work, because a lot of slumps similar to cracks, seepage and some boggy area have been observed on the downstream slope. High resolution seismic reflection method was performed on the crest profile twice before and after grouting work(Aug. 2001 and Nov. 2004) aimed at the dam inspection and the assessment of grouting efficiency as well. To enhance the data resolution, P-beam energy radiation technique which can reduce the surface waves and hence to reinforce the reflection events was used. Strong reflection events were recognized in the stack section before grouting work, It seems that the events would be caused by e.g. horizontal cracks with a considerable aperture, Meanwhile such strong reflection events were not observed in the section after grouting. That is, the grouting work was dear able to reinforce the defects of dam body. Hence, the section showed an well arranged picture of dam inner structure. In this sense, seismic reflection method will be a desirable technique for dam inspection and for monitoring dam inner structure as well.

The current standards and specifications for the road pavement construction have been developed based on materials and construction methods. The pavements constructed in accordance with those specifications do not guarantee high performance of pavements since they do not consider long-term performance of pavements. Therefore, as part of the study to develop performance-based construction standards for pavements, the payment adjustment methods based on the pavement performance are currently being developed. This paper presents preliminary studies performed to develop the payment adjustment methods when there is deficiency in the concrete slab thickness that is one oi the most important factors for the pavement design and construction. First, the payment adjustment methods in USA were investigated. Then, the AASHTO failure equation, the relationship between slab thickness and stress, and the relationship between stress level and pavement life were employed to propose the payment adjustment concepts based on the pavement performance for the deficient slab thickness. The variation in the slab thickness according to measurement locations was investigated by taking cores. In addition, the measurement methods of slab thickness and the variation of measured thicknesses depending on performers were analyzed, and finally the methodology to develop the thickness deficiency ranges for the use in the payment adjustment methods was proposed.

Previous age data were reviewed for 98 sites of Phanerozoic granitoids in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Subduction-related granitic magmatism has occurred in southeastern Korea since Early Permian. In the middle part of the Yeongnam massif, arc-related tonalites, trondhjemites, granodiorites, and monzonites were emplaced during Early Triassic. After Middle Triassic continental collision in central Korean Peninsula, post-collisional shoshonitic and high-K series and A-type granitoids were emplaced in the southwestern Gyeonggi massif and central Okcheon belt during Late Triassic. Early Jurassic calc-alkaline granitoids are mostly distributed in the middle part of the Yeongnam massif and Mt. Seorak area, northeastern Gyeonggi massif. On the other hand, Middle Jurassic calc-alkaline granitoids pervasively occur in the Okcheon belt and central Gyeonggi massif. This selective distribution could be attributed to the change in the position of trench, subduction angle, or the direction of subduction. Most Cretaceous and Paleogene granitoids are distributed in the Gyeongsang basin, with the latter emplaced exclusively along the eastern coastline. Outside the Gyeongsang basin, Cretaceous granitoids emplaced in relatively shallow depth occur in the Gyeonggi massif and central Okcheon belt.

A study of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was undertaken on Cretaceous granitic, volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the eastern region of the Yangsan fault, southeast Korea. A total of 542 independently oriented core samples collected form 77 sites were studied. The main magnetic mineral in granitic rocks is magnetite according to the magnitude of bulk susceptibility, high-temperature susceptibility variation and isothermal remanent magnetization. Both of magnetic lineation and foliation with NE-SW trends are revealed in the granitic rocks, while volcanic rocks show scattered directions and sedimentary rocks show only load foliation parallel to the bedding planes. The following evidences read to the conclusion that both magnetic fabrics in the granitic rocks have been obtained by a tectonic stress before full solidification of the magma: (i) A fully hardened granitic rocks would get hardly any fabric, (ii) Difference of the magnetic fabric trends with those of the geological structures in the granitic rocks themselves formed by brittle deformation after solidification (e.g. patterns of small-faults and joints), (iii) Kinking of biotite and undulose extinction in quartz observed under the polarizing microscope, (iv) Discordance of magnetic fabrics in the granitic rocks with those in the surrounding rocks. The NE-SW trend of the magnetic foliations suggests a NW-SE compressive stress of nearly contemporaneous with the emplacement of the granitic rocks. The compression should have caused a sinistral strike-slip movement of the Yangsan Fault considering the trend of the latter. As the age of the granitic rocks in the study area is reported to be around $60\sim70$ Ma, it is concluded that the Yangsan fault did the sinistral strike-slip movement during this time (L. Cretaceous Maastrichtian - Cenozoic Paleocene).

In this study, the thermal analysis is carried out for a result of borehole heater test using ABAQUS ver 6.10 based on finite element analysis code. Thermal-mechanical rock properties as determined by laboratory tests before the in situ test and characteristics of the atmosphere at the test section are used as the initial condition. When comparing the results of the in situ test and thermal analysis, the temperature of C3 observation hole that is 0.9 m away from the heater showed very similar patterns and figures (about $1.3^{\circ}C$ difference). But the results of the A and B observation hole showed a significant difference around $15^{\circ}C{\sim}20^{\circ}C$. To find the reason for these results, the over-coring is carried out for the A1 and B1 observation holes. As a result of checking the excavated rock core with the naked eye, there is no problem on the number and position of the sensor as the test plan. However the state of cement injection in the observation hole is poor.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of post types and sizes on fracture resistance in immature tooth model with various restorative techniques. Bovine incisors were sectioned 8 mm above and 12 mm below the cementoenamel junction to simulate immature tooth model. To compare various post-and-core restorations, canals were restored with gutta-percha and resin core, or reinforced dentin wall with dual-cured resin composite, followed by placement of D.T. LIGHT-POST, ParaPost XT, and various sizes of EverStick Post individually. All of specimens were stored in the distilled water for 72 hours and underwent 6,000 thermal cycles. After simulation of periodontal ligament structure with polyether impression material, compressive load was applied at 45 degrees to the long axis of the specimen until fracture was occurred. Experimental groups reinforced with post and composite resin were shown significantly higher fracture strength than gutta-percha group without post placement (p < 0.05). Most specimens fractured limited to cervical third of roots. Post types did not influence on fracture resistance and fracture level significantly when cement space was filled with dual-cured resin composite. In addition, no statistically significant differences were seen between customized and standardized glass fiber posts, which cement spaces were filled with resin cement or composite resin individually. Therefore, root reinforcement procedures as above in immature teeth improved fracture resistance regardless of post types and sizes.

선박의 건조과정에서 필수적으로 선체 외판에는 선박의 안전과 운항 및 정비 등에 필요한 정보를 나타내기 위해 다양한 종류의 마크 및 문자가 마킹되어진다. 하지만, 단순한 도장 작업만으로는 해상과 같은 부식 환경에서 마크 및 문자가 쉽게 지워지거나 손상되기 때문에 마크 및 문자를 용접 비드(welding bead)로 표시하거나 미리 절단된 강판(steel plate)을 수동으로 용접한 뒤 도장을 함으로써 마크 및 문자의 손상을 방지하고 있다. 이러한 문자마킹작업을 하기 위해서는 작업자가 수작업으로 기준선과 마크 및 문자의 위치를 먹줄 등을 이용하여 마킹을 하고, 해당 마크 및 문자의 템플렛(template)을 이용하여 펀칭을 실시한 후 수동으로 용접을 실시한다. 하지만, 수작업을 통한 선체외판 문자마킹 작업은 작업자의 기량에 따라 품질이 상이하여 품질 저하의 원인이 된다. 또한 대조립 및 탑재 단계에서 문자 마킹 작업시 수직자세의 용접을 요구함으로써 작업자가 안전사고에 노출되어 있으며, 선박의 각 단계별 주요 공정보다 작업시간이 길어져 전체 선박 건조공정을 지연시키는 문제점 등을 야기시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 조선업계에서는 선체 외판의 마크 및 문자를 자동으로 용접할 수 있는 장치를 개발하기 위해 노력해왔으며, 몇몇 개발 사례가 보고되고 있다. 하지만, 그 실효성 부분에서는 아직까지 해결하지 못한 문제점들로 인해 현장 적용에는 어려움을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박외판 문자 자동용접장치의 기능성뿐만 아니라 현업 적용성을 가장 우선적으로 고려하여 문자마킹장치(Marking Robot for Shipbuilding) 개발을 진행하였다. 우선, 적절한 용접 재료를 선정하기 위해서 솔리드 와이어(Solid Wire)와 플럭스 코어드 와이어(Flux Cored Wire)에 대한 비드온 용접(Bead-On Welding)을 아래보기자세와 수직자세에 대해서 실시하여 적절한 용접 조건을 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 문자마킹 자동용접장치는 3축으로 구성되어 있으며 각 축들을 분리할 수 있도록 개발하여 이동성을 향상시켰으며, 작업면과 용접토치간의 거리를 일정하게 유지시킬 수 있도록 용접전류 센서(Welding Current Sensor)를 이용하여 토치 높이(Wire Extension)를 제어함으로써 균일한 품질의 용접비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 문자마킹 자동용접장치는 본체 구동부와 제어부(Touch Screen)가 쉽게 분리되고 장착이 가능한 구조로 개발되었으며, 용접시 각 용접자세별로 용접전압, 전류 그리고 용접속도 설정이 가능하여 아래보기 자세뿐만 아니라 어떠한 자세에서도 같은 모양의 비드형상을 가지는 문자마킹용접이 가능하도록 개발하였으며, 이는 실험과 현장적용을 통해 검증하였다.

Spiral reinforcement in a circular column plays an effective role in the ductile behavior of a column through position fixing and buckling restraining of the longitudinal reinforcement, and confining core-concrete. Each country has suggested the minimum volumetric ratio of spiral reinforcement in order to secure the ductility of concrete columns. The minimum volumetric ratio of spiral reinforcement suggested by ACI 318-14 and the national concrete structure design standard was developed based on the theory of Richard et al. (1928); furthermore it has been used until now. However, their theory cannot consider the effects of high strength concrete and high strength reinforcement, and arrangement condition of the spiral reinforcement. In this study, a modified minimum volumetric ratio equation is suggested, which is required to improve the ductility of reinforced concrete circular columns and to recover their stress. The modified minimum volumetric ratio equation suggested here considers the effect of the compressive strength of concrete, the yield strength of spiral reinforcement, the cross sectional area of columns, the pitch of spiral reinforcements and the diameter of spiral reinforcement. In this paper, the validity of the minimum volumetric ratios from ACI 318-14 and this study was investigated and compared based on the results of uniaxial compression experiment for specimens in which the material strength and the spiral reinforcements ratio were used as variables. In the end of the study, the modification method for the suggested equation was examined.
