Two-dimensional hydraulic experiments were performed to assess the impact of artificial seaweed on wave energy attenuation, and coastal erosion prevention. In this experimental study, erosion geometry and wave reflection coefficients were determined for normal and stormy incident waves, with and without artificial seaweed. The coastline of beaches without artificial vegetation was observed to retreat, and the longshore bar height increased in normal and stormy conditions. Through the introduction of artificial seaweed (of widths 0.8 m, and 1.6 m), the coastline was found to advance in the offshore direction due to material deposition. From these results, it is shown that artificial seaweed alters the cross-section of beaches, such that it is possible to prevent coastline erosion.

Protection against salt attack in seawater is obtained by using a dense, quality concrete with a low water-cement ratio, and a components appropriate for producing concrete having the needed salt resistance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feature of corrosion with using the various concrete materials under marine exposure environment. According to the test results, slag powder and anti -corrosion inhibitor showed high chloride resistance effect. Also concre crack have an influence on corrosion of steel in spite of mixed design for salt resistance concrete. The requirement for low permeability is essential not only to delay the effect of salt attack, but also to afford adquate protection to reinforcement with admixtures.

The building that supply tidal and splash zone was constructed near Seamangeum Gate Bridge. The specimens that will be tested for maintenance of gate bridge were exposed on the tidal and splash zone, totally about 650(Fig. 1). The characteristics of strength, salt penetration profile, field application of surface repair material and section recover material will be acquired by periodical test. The program was developed to obtain optimal maintenance strategy of gate bridge as a marine concrete structure and to deposit experimental data, lab. test result, field test result, on its D/B. On this paper, we hope to introduce two years exposure data as compressive strength, the modulus of elasticity, the modulus of dynamic elasticity, field adoption of repair and recover materials. As briefly speaking the results, possion's ratio, elasticity, strength was general, but the recover materials have some problems. There was crack between concrete and recover material and delamination figures.

Studied was impact assessment of sea dike construction in Saemankeum. To represent complexity of the geometry and topography of the region a flexible finite grid system are adopted. Combined fine and coarse meshes based on automatic mesh generator were applied in pre-processing. A nonlinear periodic finite element model. TEANL, was implied in this analysis, which gave good results compared to the observed data. It was predicted that the front region of dike connecting Shinsi-Karyeok-Daehang-Pyunsan will behave as a closed rectangular bay with wide width, which may affect significantly to the circulation and dispersion mechanism in the region.

Although the studies carried out in recent years have provied much new information about channel widths and alignment, they are not consistent in their results. In addition, as a result of variations in local condition and type of traffic accommodated, the dimensions of the channel widths vary over a wide range. Therefore, the recommendation made by the maritime engineering organizations over the world, do not offer detailed and decisive optimal design criteria and are all different. It, therefore, was attempted in this paper to draw a decisive guideline on the optimal widths and alignment of the navigational channels, which can be utilized by the port designers at the stage of the planning. The guideline was drawn through the comparison and analysis of the existing guidelines of the U.S.A, Japan and PIANC and simulation experiment. The simulation experiment was carried out using the "Off Line Port and Waterway Design Simulator" to find the optimal dimensions of the widths of the navigational channels. 90 different simulation runs were conducted at the 3 different secenario channels. New guidelines, the result of the study, is expected to be used usefully by the Korean port designers when designing the rapodly developing ports in Korea. in Korea.

A numerical scheme is proposed which is applicable to the evaluation of wave field containing floating structures, and the method is utilized to estimate the effect of the floating breakwaters to be installed in Wonjeon port near Masan. The model is based on the mild-slope equation which is widely accepted for the calculation of wave modulation near shores and an additional term is introduced to consider the wave scattering associated with the thin floating structures such as floating breakwaters. The tranquility in Wonjeon port with the floating breakwater in the east side is calculated and compared with the one with a bottom-fixed breakwater. The present method is believed to provide an efficient way of quantitative measurement of the performance of floating breakwaters.

This paper presents circuit models and control algorithms of distributed generation system(DGS) which consists of Z-type converter and PWM inverter. Z-type converter which employs both the L and C passive components and shoot-through zero vectors instead qf the conventional DC/DC converter in order to step up DC-link voltage. Discrete time sliding mode control with the asymptotic observer is used for current control. This system am be used for power conversion of DC renewable energy.

In this paper time series wave data which contain a freak wave is investigated. Various wave characteristics are compared between wave data with a freak wave and without. Among 24 hour wave data measured in the Yura Sea, two adjacent 30 min wave data with and without a freak wave are examined intensively. It is seen that the highest waves do not have the longest wave period. The wave period of the longest period waves is a little longer than the average wave period and much shorter than the significant wave period. Although the sea state is quite high, the Rayleigh distribution fits well to the probability of wave height. The characteristics of the wave spectra do not change much, but the nonlinearity increases for the wave data with a freak wave. The significant wave height without a freak wave is larger than that with a freak wave. Hence, the higher significant wave height does not always increase the probability of the occurrence of the freak waves.

The effect of meteorological factors such as air temperature (AT), wind speed (WS), precipitation (Pre) on the variation of water temperature (WT) and salinity (Sal) in the West Sea of Korea for the period 1971 to 2001 was illustrated. As a result of this study, WT-AT, WT-Pre, and Sal-WS had positive correlation, reversely WT-WS, Sal-AT and Sal- Pre had negative correlation. In the surface layer, time lag between atmospheric factors and oceanographic factors was 0 to 4 months, on the other hand in the bottom layer, it was delayed 0 to 4 months compared to the surface. WT was affected by AT in the same year, but Sal was affected by precipitation in the previous year. The variation of WT and Sal was in harmony with change of wind speed.

최근 들어 하구의 이용도가 높아져 감에 따라 용수 취수, 염해 방지공, 하도 계획, 수질 개선 등의 문제와 관련하여 하도 내로 침입하는 염수쐐기를 적절히 제어해야 될 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이를 위해 염수쐐기의 형태와 거동특성을 정확하게 예측하고 내부유동 구조를 구명하는 것이 필요하다. 염수쐐기의 수리학적 특성에 관한 국내외 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 국내에서는 하구에서의 유동장 해석을 위한 연구와 염수침입 현상과 반대로 담수 유출이 해양환경에 미치는 영향에 관한 해양공학적 연구가 주로 수행되었다. 국외에서는 1950년대 초반에 하구에서의 염도 혼합양상과 확산계수의 결정 및 수학적 모형에서 각 항들의 상대적 중요성 평가와 같은 기초적인 연구가 수행되었으며, 1970년대에 컴퓨터의 급속한 발전에 힘입어 다양한 수치적 기법이 개발되어 폭이 좁고 성층화된 하구에서의 수치계산이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 정상 염수쐐기의 형태 및 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 수리실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 염수수조, 담수유입부, 수로부로 구성된 실험수로에서 수행되었으며, 염수와 담수간의 밀도차에 근거하여 실험 조건을 설정하였다. 실험을 통하여 밀도차와 담수유입량에 따라 염수쐐기의 형태 및 거동특성이 지배됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.
