The assessment of environmental impact on NO$_2$ (or TSP) emitted by vehicles is important for local residents from the point of view of their health and environmental protection. In the course of field investigations, correct concentrations are measured and meteorological data are observed for numerical simulation. To determine background concentration for numerical simulation, annual average concentrations of NO$_2$ (or TSP) are estimated using the Puff-Plume model. If the estimated result affects the environment, it must be considered in the environmental conservation activity. To make the process of a estimation of environmental assessment more easily, this system is developed. Moreover, this system was supplied a Graphic User Interface (GH) for the user who calculated the concentration of air pollution exhausted from the traffic on general roads except special roads such as interchanges and entrances to tunnels. This system can offer not only the numerical result but also a graphic display. Even a beginner who is not a professional programmer can calculate the result easily.

최근 농업용저수지의 경우 기상이변에 따른 수위조절을 위하여 다량의 수문을 일시에 개방하는 사례가 지역적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그에 따라 당초 목적인 농업용수를 위한 취수시설이 최근 홍수조절용으로 활용됨에 따른 취수시설 내 공동현상이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 공동현상으로 인해 수시설물의 안정성에 문제가 발생하고 그에 따른 2차 재해위험이 있을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공동현상 방지를 위해 취수시설 공기관 설계기준에 대하여 고찰하였다. 공동현상을 방지하고 홍수량을 적절하게 배제하기 위해서 유입되는 공기량산정식이 필요하다. 공기관 단면결정은 농업생산기반정비사업 설계기준(필댐)의 구조설계 부분에 정리되어 있지만 이는 이수측면에서 설계 및 시공이 진행됨에 따라서 취수에 대한 목적을 달성하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 취수시설의 기능과 역할을 증대시키고자 취수시설 적정 공기관 설계를 분석하여 향후 신규, 개보수 및 현장 유지관리에 활용하기 위한 기초자료를 제시하였다. 이러한 공동현상 및 공기관 설계를 위하여 현장조사, 수치해석, 수리모형시험을 병행하여 문석하였다. 그 결과 취수탑의 형상변수와 수위에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 변수가 소요공기량에 미치는 영향은 조절게이트 개폐율을 증가시킬수록 소요공기량이 증가하며, 약 80%의 개폐율에서 소요공기량이 최대가 되었다. 방수로 직경이 증가하면, 공기관 입구와 끝단의 압력차가 감소하여 소요공기량이 감소하고, 수위가 증가하면 소요공기량이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 공동현상 방지를 위해 공기량 산정식은 취수터널에 연직수문이 설치되어 있는 6가지 흐름의 형태에 따라서 $/Q_w=0.04(F-1)^{0.85}$, $Q_a/Q_w=K(F-1)$, $Q_a/Q_w=0.014(F-1)^{1.4}$, $Q_a/Q_w=0.015(F-1)^{1.4}$의 관계식 중 적정한 것을 사용하여야 할 것으로 판단되며, 또한 공기관에 유입부의 허용부압은 수두로부터 1.0m이하로 하고, 공기관 내 풍속은 $45^m/s$를 기준으로 최대 $90^m/s$로 하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study describes a large recumbent fold, which occurs at the north entrance slope of the Batjae tunnel, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, and interprets its formation mechanism. The several-hundred-meter scale fold, developed in the Jeongseon Limestone of the Paleozoic Joseon Supergroup, has a nearly horizontal axial plane and its head is facing north. Stretching lineations ($L_1$) observed on the composite foliations of bedding and axial plane cleavage plunge southward at about $10^{\circ}$. Small A-type or eye-shaped sheath folds together with S-shaped asymmetrical folds are often observed in the fold limbs and their axes are nearly parallel to the lineations ($L_1$) within center and rear parts of the fold. It is thus interpreted that the recumbent fold is a large sheath fold produced by the top-to-the-north ductile shearing due to the Songrim orogeny during the late Paleozoic to Triassic.

An automatic freeway bus-only lane enforcement system was developed and assessed in a real-world environment. Observation of a bus-only lane on the Youngdong freeway, South Korea, revealed that approximately 99% of the vehicles violated the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane regulation. However, the current enforcement by the police not only exhibits a low enforcement rate, but also induces unnecessary safety and delay concerns. Since vehicles with six passengers or higher are permitted to enter freeway bus-only lanes, identifying the number of passengers in a vehicle is a core technology required for a freeway bus-only lane enforcement system. To that end, infrared cameras and the You Only Look Once (YOLOv5) deep learning algorithm were utilized. For assessment of the performance of the developed system, two environments, including a controlled test-bed and a real-world freeway, were used. As a result, the performances under the test-bed and the real-world environments exhibited 7% and 8% errors, respectively, indicating satisfactory outcomes. The developed system would contribute to an efficient freeway bus-only lane operations as well as eliminate safety and delay concerns caused by the current manual enforcement procedures.

The prediction of temperature in the workings for the propriety examination for the development of a deep coal bed and the ventilation design is fairly important. It is quite demanding to obtain precise thermal conductivity of rock due to the variety and the complexity of the rock types contiguous to the coal bed. Therefore, to estimate the thermal conductivity corresponding to this geological situation and complex gallery conditions, a computing program which is TemPredict, is developed in this study. It employs Artificial Neural Network and calculates the climatic conditions in galleries. This advanced neural network is based upon the Back-Propagation Algorithm and composed of the input layers that are acceptant of the physical and geological factors of the coal bed and the hidden layers each of which has the 5 and 3 neurons. To verify TemPredict, the calculated result is compared with the measured one at the entrance of -300 ML 9X of Jang-sung production department, Jang-sung Coal Mine. The difference between the results calculated by TemPredict ($25.65^{\circ}C$) and measured ($25.7^{\circ}C$) is only $0.05^{\circ}C$, which is less than the allowable error 5%. The result has more than 95% of very high reliability. The temperature prediction for the main carriage gallery 9X in -425 ML under construction when it is completed is made. Its result is $28.2^{\circ}C$. In the future, it would contribute to the ventilation design for the mine and the underground structures.

The most dominant type of landslide in Korea is debris flows which mostly take place along mountain slopes during the rainy season, July to August. The landslides have been reported to begin activation when rainfall is more than 200mm within 2days. The debris flows are usually followed by translational slips which occur upper part of mountain slopes and they transit to debris flow as getting down to the valleys. Lithology, location, slope inclination, grain size distribution of soil, permeability, dry density and porosity have been proved as triggering factor causing translational slides. The triggering data taken from mapping are statistically analysed to get landslide potential quantitatively. Rock mass creeps mostly occur on well bedded sedimentary rocks in Kyeongsang Basin. Although the displacement of rock mass creep is relatively small about 1m, the creep can cause severe hazards due to relatively large volume of the involved rock mass. Examples are rock mass creep occurred in the mouth of Hwangryongsan Tunnel, in Chilgok and in Sachon in 1999. Although the direct factor of the creeps are due to slope cutting at the foot area, more attention is required A rotational slide occurring within thick soil formation or weathered rock is also closely related to bottom part of slope cutting. It is propagated circular or semi-circular type. Especially in korea, the rotational slide may be frequently occurred in Tertiary tuff area. Because they are mainly composed of volcanic ash and pyroclastic materials, well developed joints and high degree of swelling and absorption can easily cause the slide. The landslide among the Pohang-Guryongpo national road is belong to this type of slide.

Recently, a great number of natural disasters have more frequently happened than the past. The National Emergency Management Agency of Korea has made preparation for the integrated management system of steep slope lands. There is information based on the steep slope inspection sheets and the underground spatial information related to the prevention against steep slope disasters. Nevertheless, building a complete DB System to prevent the hazards and secure the safeties should be urgently dealt with. It is mainly because the information of the National Disaster Management System is restricted to the text-based brief data. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest the method as to building steep slope DB system for disaster prevention and maximizing the availabilities. This study shows the way of building a web-based DB system having its root in the steep slope inspection sheets. The method of establishing the ideal DB system that has liaisons between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the National Emergency Management Agency is discussed in this study. Furthermore the optimization of DB utilization will assist the various integrated steep slope management systems based on U-IT which are ongoing projects.

The design regulations for simple explosive storage in Korea only stipulate standards for the materials and thickness of the wall of the structure because the amount of explosives that can be stored is small. There is concern about secondary damage during an internal explosion in a simple storage facility, and it is necessary to reexamine the current standards. The numerical analysis for the TNT 15 kg explosion inside the simple storage was carried out by setting the factors using the robust experimental design method. The displacement of the structure generated under the same time condition was analyzed, and the contribution was evaluated. The contribution of concrete thickness was the highest, and the contribution of concrete strength and rebar arrangement was lower than that of concrete thickness. The reinforcement diameter contributed extremely little to the displacement. The structural standards of the simple storage that are currently applied are insufficient on blast resistance, and it is necessary to present new design standards. Therefore, the design factor to be applied later analysis and actual experiments were taken into consideration. For the design variables, the thickness of the concrete was 15 cm considering the displacement, the concrete strength was selected as general concrete considering the inlet discharge pressure, the factor with the lowest average displacement was selected for the reinforcement arrangement and the diameter of the reinforcement, the factor with the smallest level was selected in consideration of economic feasibility because the difference in displacement was low.

An image-reconstruction technology, involving the deployment of an unmanned mobility equipped with high-speed LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has been proposed to reconstruct the shape of abandoned mine. Unmanned mobility operation is remarkably useful in abandoned mines fraught with operational difficulties including, but not limited to, obstacles, sludge, underwater and narrow tunnel with the diameter of 1.5 m or more. For cases of real abandoned mines, quadruped robots, quadcopter drones and underwater drones are respectively deployed on land, air, and water-filled sites. In addition to the advantage of scanning the abandoned mines with 2D solid-state lidar sensors, rotation of radiation at an inclination angle offers an increased efficiency for simultaneous reconstruction of mineshaft shapes and detecting obstacles. Sensor and robot posture were used for computing rotation matrices that helped compute geographical coordinates of the solid-state lidar data. Next, the quadruped robot scanned the actual site to reconstruct tunnel shape. Lastly, the optimal elements necessary to increase utility in actual fields were found and proposed.
