The purpose of this paper is to select proposed waste facilities sites after consideration of relative importance of siting factors. From the literature review we have established the siting factors affecting selecting waste facilities sites, and constructed hierarchy of siting factors to evaluate the relative importance of the factors using Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP). After mail surveying of expert group, we have analyzed the relative importance of siting factors affecting waste facilities. We have constructed Geographic Information System(GIS) of raster type, based on seventeen theme maps of siting factors on waste facilities, to select the proposed waste facilities sites after consideration of the relative importance of the siting factors for Gyongsan city, in Korea. After applying linear combination method, and factor combination method to overcome the methodological limitations of land suitability analysis, we have found five proposed sites, where intersected with proposed sites obtained from the two methods. From this research we have found that 1) methodologically, using GIS for selection of proposed waste facilities sites turned out to be highly useful, 2) application of relative importance of siting factors and two methods of land suitability analysis in selection of proposed waste facilities sites are pertinent enough to provide valid and reliable results, and 3) the research methods and approach employed in this research will be highly useful in site selection of other major facilities.

From the concept that the ion implantation-induced defect is one of the major factors in determining source/drain junction characteristics, high quality ultra-shallow $p^+$-n junctions were formed through the control of ion implantation-induced defects in silicon substrate. In conventional process of the junction formation. $p^+$ source/drain junctions have been formed by $^{49}BF_2^+$ ion implantation followed by the deposition of TEOS(Tetra-Ethyl-Ortho-Silicate) and BPSG(Boro-Phospho-Silicate-Glass) films and subsequent furnace annealing for BPSG reflow. Instead of the conventional process, we proposed a series of new processes for shallow junction formation, which includes the additional low temperature RTA prior to furnace annealing, $^{49}BF_2^+/^{11}B^+$ mixed ion implantation, and the screen oxide removal after ion implantation and subsequent deposition of MTO (Medium Temperature CVD oxide) as an interlayer dielectric. These processes were suggested to enhance the removal of ion implantation-induced defects, resulting in forming high quality shallow junctions.

Iron nitride (Fe-N) magnetic thin films were deposited using a DC magnetron sputtering system. Microstructures and magnetic properties were examined as a function of deposition power and nitrogen gas input ratio. The nitrogen content in the film was found to be the major factor determining the microstructure and the magnetic properties. The films deposited at low nitrogen input ratios have an $\alpha$-Fe structure of which the lattice is expanded due to the nitrogen atoms incorporated at the interstitial sites. As the nitrogen content in the film increases, the degree of lat-tice expansion increases and the value of saturation magnetization decreases linearly. The films with a high degree of lattice expansion give very low values of coercivity, which is attributed to the disturbance of colunmar growth and the decrease of surface roughness. Further increase in the nitrogen input ratio causes the phase transfonnation from $\alpha$-Fe to $Fe_{2-3}N$, resulting in the marked reduction in the saturation magnetization. The phase transformation occurs when, regardless of deposition conditions, the nitrogen content reaches at 15 at.% and the lattice is expanded by 5%.

The waterproofing system's performance is known to show a determing by complex interaction of material factors, design details, and the quality of construction, and the waterproofing integrity of waterproofing membranes is determined by the bond to the deck and the amount of damage to the waterproofing membrane. In this research, the basic properties of waterproofing membranes on market and the tensile adhesive chracteristics of waterproofing systems of concrete bridge deck have also been investigated in the view of the damages frequently reported from job site. For the tensile adhesive strength of sheet waterproofing membranes, the results after asphalt concrete paving tends to increase more than before those. The results of the liquid waterproofing membranes are upside-down, and the more concrete has strength, the more strength of tensile adhesive increase. The ambient temperature of asphalt concrete when application of the waterproofing membrane has considerable influence on the performance of waterproofing system. As described above, waterproofing system can be influenced by several factors. If they are not considered under construction, the overlooking will cause the damages of pavement and waterproofing system after traffic opening.

The elastic buckling strength of a corrugated pipe made of orthotropic material was evaluated. The height and length of a corrugated wave and the thickness of the pipe were considered as factors affecting the buckling strength of the pipe. And also, the ratio of the longitudinal stiffness and transverse stiffness were considered as parameters affecting on the buckling strength of a pipe made of orthotropic material. Buckling strengths of various corrugated pipes with different shapes and stiffness ratio were evaluated by FE analyses. And a formula to estimate the elastic buckling strength was suggested by regression of FE analysis results. Analysis results show that a corrugated pipe has superior buckling strength to a general flat pipe and the suggested formula estimates accurate buckling strength of the corrugated pipe made of orthotropic material.

A V-shaped riffle is an artificial hydraulic structure haying two wings from the streamside with a narrow opening in between. It is usually made of crushed stones or large boulders. It limits channel width and accelerates the flow through the constricted section causing a local scour just downstream. The V-shaped riffle provides with a unique aquatic habitat by forming a pool and sandbars around the pool edge, increasing local morphologic, hydraulic and sedimentological diversity. This study investigates experimentally the scour characteristics of the V-shaped riffle in the sandbed stream and proposes a predictive equation for the scour. Total 45 cases of experiments were conducted to examine the effect of hydraulic factors and configuration of V-shaped riffle on the geometry of scour holes. From the comparison of the experimental results of this study with the predictive equation of spur dike by Breusers and Raudkivi(1991), it is found that their predictive equation of spur dike underestimates the maximum scour depth downstream of the V-shaped riffle. h new predictive equation for the maximum scour depth was developed using the non-dimensional hydraulic and geometrical variables. The parameters used in the proposed equations were determined using the experimental data. The analysis reveals that the scour depth is dependent dominantly on the Froude number at the opening of the V-shaped riffle, while the angle of riffle and the opening width also affect the scour depth. The proposed equation for the scour of V-shaped riffle well agrees with the experimental data. It can be used for estimating the scour of the V-shaped riffle in sandbed streams.

This study presents a numerical model for simulating turbidity currents using the ULTIMATE scheme. For this, the layer-averaged model is used. The model is applied to laboratory experiments, where the flume is composed of sloping and flat parts, and the characteristics of propagating turbidity currents are investigated. Due to the universal limiter of the ULTIMATE scheme, the frontal part of the turbidity currents at a sharp gradient without numerical oscillations is computed. Simulated turbidity currents propagate super-critically to the end of the flume, and internal hydraulic jumps occur at the break-in-slope after being affected by the downstream boundary. It is found that the hydraulic jumps are computed without numerical oscillations if Courant number is less than 1. In addition, factors that affect propagation velocity of turbidity currents is studied. The particle size less than $9{\mu}m$ does not affect propagation velocity but the buoyancy flux affects clearly. Finally, it is found that the numerical model computes the bed elevation change due to turbidity currents properly. Specifically, a discontinuity in the bed elevation, arisen from the hydraulic jumps and resulting difference in sediment entrainment, is observed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the damage characteristics induced by winter freezing of evergreen broad-leaved trees distributed in urban area of warm temperate forest zone, which are gaining increased interest recently as climate change. The results of the study indicated that, as for 'stem injury', Camellia japonica Linne (59.6%) had the weakest damage, while Ternstroemia gymnanthera Sprague (83.3%) had the most severe damage. By the visual evaluation of freezing injury according to the characteristics of plantations environment, the observations of single planting (p<0.01) in planting method had weaker damage than those of group planting, the observations of under tree (p<0.001), plain (p<0.001), and organic matter plenty (p<0.05) in plantations characteristics had significant differences with relatively weaker damage than the observations of open space, slop, and scarcity, respectively. Tree height (-0.432) and crown width (-0.470) among growth factors were negatively correlated with the severity of damage, respectively. Therefore, the selection of tree species is vital for the successful creation of these urban forested area by making considerations of planting environment, and further research on evergreen broad-leaved trees is needed in this aspect.

This study was carried out to investigate the quarrying and restoration characteristics on quarry in Korea. We researched quarrying and restoration status, analyzed the relationship between restoration area and permitted period, permitted area, quarrying volume, pit slope width, height, and berm width from 55 quarry sites. Most of the quarries were located in the following conditions : mixed forest, average altitude of less than 300 m, average mountain slope of $61^{\circ}$<, hillside, granite and landslide hazard class. Major quarrying characteristics were permitted period of 6~10 years, permitted area of less than 10 ha, quarrying volume of less than $1,000,000m^3$, a stone type of aggregate, a quarrying type of terrace, pit slope of $61^{\circ}$< Most quarries were restored by themselves, and the main restoration type was slope greening. Also, area ratio of flatland, pit slope, and berm was 54.9:39.6:5.5. Ccorrelation analysis showed that quarrying area was positively correlate with quarrying volume (${\alpha}=0.01$), permitted area, pit width, and pit height (a=0.05).

In land seismic exploration, irregular surface topography and weathering layer in near surface distorts the reflected signals of data. Therefore, typical land seismic data should be compensated for this distortion by static correction. To perform the static correction, near-surface velocity is required, which can be obtained by seismic refraction survey. However, land seismic data is often acquired in a limited form of geometry depending on the equipment availability, accessibility condition, and permission for the survey site. In this situation, refraction analysis should be performed using reflection data because it is impossible to acquire refraction-oriented data due to limited source and receiver geometry. In this study, we aimed to analyze the reliability of the results obtained by refraction traveltime tomography when using reflection data with a limited number of sources and receivers from irregular surface topography. By comparing the inversion result from irregular topography with that from flat surface, we found that the surface topography affects the reliability of the inversion results to some degree. We also found that the number of sources has little effect on the inversion results unless the number of sources are very small. On the other hand, we observed that velocity distortion occurred in the overlapped part of receiver arrays when using a limited number of receivers, and therefore suggested the size of the least overlapping ratio to avoid the velocity distortion. Finally, we performed numerical tests for the model which simulates the surface topography and acquisition geometry of the survey region and verified the reliability analysis of inversion results. We identified reliable areas and suspicious area of the inverted velocity model by applying the analysis results to field data.
