In this study, a new empirical equation for the transverse dispersion coefficient has been developed based on the theoretical background in river bends. The nonlinear least-square method was applied to determine regression coefficients of the equation. The estimated dispersion coefficients derived by the new equation were compared with observed transverse dispersion coefficients acquired from natural rivers and coefficients calculated by the other existing empirical equations. From a comparison of the existing transverse dispersion equations and the new proposed equation, it appears that the behavior of the existing formula in a relative sense is very much dependent on the friction factor and the river geometry. However, the new proposed equation does not vary widely according to variation of friction factor. Also, it was revealed that the equation proposed in this study becomes an asymptotic curve as the curvature effect increases.

A new freeform structure representing "Diagrid, Cantilevered, Tilted." which has been considered not only its distinctive appearance but also the structural advantages becomes one of the trends in tall building design. Especially in the Diagrid system, loads can be distributed through bracing frame so that it can be save the materials since it has more effective in the structure behavior. But the seismic performance index such as response modification factor is not clearly defined yet. Even though the diagrid is supposed to show higher seismic performance, it is underestimated due to the lack of reliable data. In this paper the response modification factor for the diagrid system is experimentally explored.

This study developed the Time-split Mixing Model (TMM) which can represent the pollutant mixing process on a three-dimensional open channel through constructing the conceptual model based on Taylor's assumption (1954) that the shear flow dispersion is the result of combination of shear advection and diffusion by turbulence. The developed model splits the 2-D mixing process into longitudinal mixing and transverse mixing, and it represents the 2-D advection-dispersion by the repetitive calculation of concentration separation by the vertical non-uniformity of flow velocity and then vertical mixing by turbulent diffusion sequentially. The simulation results indicated that the proposed model explains the effect of concentration overlapping by boundary walls, and the simulated concentration was in good agreement with the analytical solution of the 2-D advection-dispersion equation in Taylor period (Chatwin, 1970). The proposed model could explain the correlation between hydraulic factors and the dispersion coefficient to provide the physical insight about the dispersion behavior. The longitudinal dispersion coefficient calculated by the TMM varied with the mixing time unlike the constant value suggested by Elder (1959), whereas the transverse dispersion coefficient was similar with the coefficient evaluated by experiments of Sayre and Chang (1968), Fischer et al. (1979).

The structural system of domestic high-rise apartments can be divided into two parts; the core wall system, which is composed of walls concentrated in the center and the shear wall system, which comprises a great number of walls distributed in the plan. In order to analyze the lateral behavior of each system, buildings with typical domestic high-rise apartment plans were selected and nonlinear static analysis was performed to investigate the their collapse mechanism. From the force-displacement relation derived from nonlinear static analysis, response modification factor was evaluated by calculating the overstrengh and ductility factor, which are important in the seismic response. The ductility of core wall system is small, but as it is governed by wind load, its overstrength is greatly estimated, and its response modification factor is calculated by the overstrengh factor. Due to a large number of walls, shear wall system has a large ductility, making the response modification factor considerably large.

In this study, a laboratory experiment has been performed on a S-curved channel with two curved sections. In the experiments, effects of 3-D velocity structures on mixing characteristics of tracer material were investigated. As a result, it was clearly noticed that the primary flow travels taking the shortest course of the meandering channel and has a very ununiform distribution at the bends. The secondary cell which was developing at the first bend disappears at the crossover, and then, at the next bend, secondary cell is re-developing in the opposite direction. The experimental results show that mixing of tracer is significantly affected by the combined action of ununiform primary flow and secondary cell. The ununiform primary flow separates the tracer cloud in the longitudinal direction, and the secondary cell further separates the retarding tracer cloud mainly in the transverse direction. As a result, these complex flow structures cause separation and spreading of tracer cloud both in the longitudinal and in the transverse directions. The measured dimensionless transverse dispersion coefficients calculated using 2-D routing procedure ranges 0.012-0.875, and is generally proportional to width to depth ratio (W/h). The predicted values calculated by the theoretical equation overestimate slightly the measured transverse dispersion coefficients.

A stochastic numerical analysis for predicting the groundswater fluctuations in hillside slopes is performed in this paper to account for the uncertainties associated with the rainfall and site characteristics. The effect of spatial variabilities of aquifer parameters and the effect of temporal variability of recharge on the groundwater fluctuations are studied in depth. The Kriging is used to account for the spatial tariabilities of aquifer parameters. This technique prolevides the best linear unbiased estimator of a parameter and its minimum variance from a litsitem number of measured data. A stochastic one-dimensional numerical model is delreloped b) combining the groundwater flow model, the Kriging, and the first-order second-moment analysis. In addition, a two dimensional detelministic groundwater model is developed to study the change of ground water surfas in the transverse direction as well as in the downslope direction. It is revealed that the undulations of the impervious bedrock in addition to the permeability and the specific yield have an important influence on the fluctuations of the groundwater surface. It is also found that th'e groundwater changes significantly in the transverse direction as well as in the downslope direction. The results obtained in this analysis may be used for evaluation of landslide risks due to high porewater pressure.

다수의 자연 하천은 사행의 형태를 가지고 있으며 자연 상태에서의 직선 하천 형태는 비율이 20% 이하이다. 이러한 하천의 사행 형상으로 인하여 편수위 발달, 횡방향 압력의 불균형, 그리고 수심차에 의한 원심력이 발생하여 이차류 흐름이 발생된다. 정확한 이차류 구현을 위해서는 3차원 모형을 사용하는 것이 바람직하나, 3차원 모형의 격자 구성과 사용에서는 상당한 시간 및 노력이 요구되기 때문에 수심적분 2차원 모형을 사용하면서도 이차류의 영향을 구현하기 위한 연구들이 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이차류의 영향을 2차원 모형으로 구현하고자 하였으며 이를 위해 이차류 연직 분포에 대한 기존 연구를 검토하여 새로운 이차류 공식을 개발하였다. 그리고 한국건설기술연구원 하천실험센터의 실규모 실험을 통해서 이차류 공식에 사용되는 계수를 보정하였다. 이처럼 개발된 식은 이차원 수리해석 모형인 HDM-2D에 적용되었다. HDM-2D는 수심 적분된 2차원 운동량 방정식을 지배방정식으로 사용하는 수리해석모형으로서, 이차류의 영향을 반영하기 위하여 개발한 황방향 유속의 연직분포식을 분산 응력항에 대입하여 이차류에 의한 전단 효과를 구현하였다. HDM-2D 흐름 모의 수행 결과와 하천실험센터 실험결과와 비교하여 이차류 효과가 주 흐름 유속의 분포에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 모의 결과는 실험에서 발생하는 유속의 주 흐름 분포가 바깥쪽으로 편중되는 현상을 적절하게 재현함을 알 수 있었다. 모의 결과를 통해 HDM-2D 모형이 이러한 이차류 영향을 구현할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 사행수로에서 주 흐름분포의 재분배는 하천 환경에서 유사 이동 및 오염물 이동에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.
