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.

This paper presents the reflection and transmission measurements conducted at the 60GHz suitable to provide a high speed wide band service. Mean received power and standard deviation are calculated and used to compare the characteristics of radio wave propagation to the various obstacles between transmitting and receiving antennas at the frequency. The results show that the transmitted signal strength by the steel door and copper plate are about 40dB lower than in free space, those by the rubber plate, glass and styroform are about 3dB lower than in free space. Also, the re(looted signal strengths at the 60 degree grazing angle show that in case by the partition is about 23dB lower, by the surface of a wall is about 6dB lower than by the copper plate. The presented results can be used for the design of 60 GHz picocell communication network that the reflected and transmitted waves affect to the service area.

In this paper, we present the newly developed propagation toss model of a long range maritime communication channel, measured by a ground to air flight test, and discuss its validity compared with the predictive value based on the spherical earth reflection model. To measure the propagation loss, actual flight test was performed in the Yellow Sea and the measurement of receiving signal strength was made for overall test range. As far as the test condition is concerned, it is expected that the receiving signal strength must be interfered with the reflected wave by an island existing around the reflection point. Therefore we introduce some modifications on the conventional spherical earth reflection model by including the effect due to the reflected wave from the island. And then, we compare the path loss measured by flight test with that one analyzed by the spherical earth reflection model accounting for reflected wave of the island. As a result of the comparison, it is verified to predict the path loss accurately by the spherical earth reflection model including the effect due to the reflected wave from an island for a long range ground to air communication.

An automated ultrasonic velocity measurement system adopting pulse-echo-overlap (PEO) method has been constructed, which is known to be a precise and versatile method. It has been applied to velocity measurements for 5 kinds of engineering plastic cores and compared to first arrival picking (FAP) method. Because it needs multiple reflected waves and waves travel at least 4 times longer than FAP, PEO has basic restriction on sample length measurable. Velocities measured by PEO showed slightly lower than that by FAP, which comes from damping and diffusive characteristics of the samples as the wave travels longer distance in PEO. PEO, however, can measure velocities automatically by cross-correlating the first echo to the second or third echo, so that it can exclude the operator-oriented errors. Once measurable, PEO shows essentially higher repeatability and reproducibility than FAP. PEO system can diminish random noises by stacking multiple measurements. If it changes the experimental conditions such as temperature, saturation and so forth, the automated PEO system in this study can be applied to monitoring the velocity changes with respect to the parameter changes.

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using shallow S-wave, high-resolution seismic reflection surveys to characterize geological structure and stratigraphy of basement rocks for civil engineering purposes. S-wave seismic reflections from depths less than 20 m were recorded along the top of steep readout slopes. Seismic reflection data were recorded using a standard CDP acquisition method with a 24-channel seismograph and a sledge-hammer SH-wave source. The data were acquired using a split-spread source-receiver geometry with a 2 m shot-and-receiver interval, and then were processed to enhance S/N ratio of the data, to improve resolvable power of the seismic section, and to get velocity information of the basement rock. The final seismic reflection profiles using the CDP technique has imaged surfaces as shallow as less than 1m and resolved beds as thin as 1m. The migrated reflection sections possess sufficient quality to correlate the prominent reflection events to the bedding planes and faults identified on the readout outcrops. Similar S-wave reflection surveys could also be used to produce the necessary details of a geological structure of shallow bedrocks to pinpoint optimum locations for monitor wells of civil engineering purposes.

속도와 밀도의 함수로 이루어진 음향 임피던스는 탄성파자로부터 물성변화를 확인하는 방법 중의 하나로 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 한국지질자원연구원에서 개발된 탄성파 탐사자료처리 무른모 지오빗올 이용하여 기본 자료처리를 실시하고, 음향 임피던스 변환 모듈올 적용하여 동해 가스 하이드레이트 현장자료에 대한 광역 임피던스변화를 구하고 이로부터 음향 임피던스 단면도를 구하고자였다. 음향 임피던스 단면도는 중합단면도상에서 음향 임피던스 변화를 보여주고 있으며 특히 왕복주시 2.9초 전후에서 해저면 반사파와 위상이 반대이며 고진폭을 나타내는 해저면 기인 고진폭 반사층으로 여길만한 지점에서 그 변화가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 탄생파자료는 10 Hz 이하 저주파 정보가 들어있지 않아 완전한 음향 임피던스를 구할 수 없으므로 층서해석이 이루어진 중합 단면도부터 광역 임피던스를 구하였다. 향후 시추자료를 활용할 경우 좀더 정확한 음향 임피던스 단면도를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

A new technique is proposed for suppressing sidelobes due to the wave reflected from the waveguide end in the traveling-wave slot array. In this approach we use multiple waveguide steps intend of the conventional matched load, To show the validity of the proposed method, a Ku-band slotted waveguide is fabricated and tested. Measurements confirm the excellent sidelobe suppressing capability of the proposed method.

외해에서 여러 요인으로 발생한 파가 항만에 접근하면 일부는 연안을 따라 흡수 또는 반사되고 일부는 항만의 방파제를 따라 회절하여 항내로 들어오게 된다. 항내로 입사한 장주기파는 항내의 정상파의 주기와 일치할 경우 공진 현상이 발생하여 작은 입사파에도 큰 반응이 나타날 수 있고 단주기파는 다중 반사 등으로 인해 항만의 특정 지점에서 파고가 증폭될 수 있어서 정박된 선박의 파괴, 부두손상, 하역 등에 지장을 초래할 수 있다. (중략)

Multicomponent seismic data including both P- and PS-waves have advantages in discriminating the type of pore fluid, characterizing the lithologic attributes and producing the high resolution image. However, multicomponent seismic data recorded at the vertical and horizontal component receivers contain both P- and PS-waves which have different features, simultaneously. Therefore, the wavefield separation of P- and PS-waves as a preprocessing is inevitable in order to use the multicomponent seismic data successfully. In this study, we analyzed the previous study of the wavefield separation method suggested by Jeong and Byun in 2011, where the approximated reflection angle calculated only from one refernce depth is used in rotation transform, and showed its limitation for seismic data containing various reflected events from the multi-layered structure. In order to overcome its limitation, we suggested a new effective wavefield separation method of P- and PS-waves. In new method, we calculate the reflection angles with various reference depths and apply rotation transforms to the data with those reflection angles. Then we stack all results to obtain the final separated data. To verify our new method, we applied it to the synthetic data sets from a multi-layered model, a fault model, and the Marmousi-2 model. The results showed that the proposed method separated successfully P- and PS-reflection events from the multicomponent data from mild dipping layered model as long as the dip is not too steep.
