  • There have been often cases of collapse for geogrid reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall. Hence, social interest in the reinforcement and restoration of the collapsed GRS wall is increasing day by day. However, there are only few researches. For this reason, a series of numerical analyses using the Plaxis 2D program was conducted in this study to analyze the suitable reinforcement methods that can be applied on the existing damaged GRS wall caused by overturning of the modular blocks facing and the surface settlement at the backfill as the results from the design failure. The restoration plan used in this study is composed of two cases: (Case 1) soil nailing reinforcement and reinforced concrete (RC) wall facing construction on the existing damaged GRS wall; and (Case 2) removal of the entire damaged GRS wall and then reconstruction. The results on the internal stability of the GRS wall show that Case 1 obtained a greater safety factor than Case 2 for tensile force while Case 2 had a greater safety factor than Case 1 for pullout failures. Case 1 was found to be more stable than Case 2 in terms of the global slope safety by shear strength reduction method and the external deformation behavior by numerical analysis. In this study, the existing damaged GRS wall which was reinforced using Case 1 method shows more stable external behavior.

  • A new fragmentation model, called the GRS (the generation model of weathered residual soils) model, was proposed in this study, This model could identify the formation of a residual soil. This model is based on the phenomena that as the soil was weathered more highly, soil particles were smaller and pores were more expanded simultaneously. The possibility of fragmentation, $P_F,$ which was based on the fractal theory, was introduced in this model. There were some fundamental notions in the GRS model that soil particles were generated as the rock is fragmented, and the fragmentation of the rock was performed step by step. The $P_F,$ of the rock was not constant at each fragmentation steps. As a result of application on the GRS model, there were more residue where $P_{Fi}s$ were small at any particle size. There was a S-shape of PSD curve at the concave shape of $P_{Fi},$ and the PSD curve goes to a gaped graded curve at the convex shape of $P_{Fi}.$ The shape of PSD curve was concave in the case of small $P_{Fi}s.$ The value of $P_{Fi}$ increased with the coefficient of uniformity $(C_u)$ and the fragmentation fractal dimension $(D_r),$ but had no relation with the coefficient of gradation $(C_C)$.

  • This paper deals with the geoid modelling in and around Korean peninsula referred to Bessel ellipsoid. Several useful data were used to compute precise geoidal heights referred to GRS80 by remove and restore technique and FFT technique was used to evaluate Stokes' integral. All grid point elevations extracted from GTOPO 30 and Bessel coordinates of all grid point were computed through coordinates transformation by applying three transformation parameters. Finally, geoidal heights referred to Bessel ellipsoid were calculated by geometric method. As the results of this study, a precise gravimetric geoid model referred to GRS80 (KOGGDM33) and geoid model referred to Bessel ellipsoid(KOBGDM33) in and around Korean peninsula were developed. KOBGDM33 shows the gradual distribution of geoidal heights from -91.8 m in Yongampo to -39.0 m in the straits of Korea.

  • A novel 6-deoxyhexose biosynthetic gene cluster different from the one for the biosynthesis of streptomycin was isolated from Streptomyces griseus using specifically designed PCR primers to compare the sequence of known dTDP-glucose synthase genes. We cloned a 5.8-kb DNA from Streptomyces griseus ATCC10137, which contained the 4-ketoreductase homologue (grsB), dTDP-glucose synthase (grsD), and dTDP-glucose 4, 6-dehydratase (grsE) genes. Escherichia coli cultures containing plasmid of the PCR product which encoded the grsE region under the controUed T7 promoter were able to catalyze the formation of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose from TDP-glucose. The enzyme showed high substrate specificity, being specific to only dTDP-glucose that is known to be incorporated into secondary metabolites such as antibiotics.

  • This study was carried out to verify the suitability of GRS(Glass-fiber Reinforced Slag) as natural type landscape stone according to the material property and structural safety performance standards. The structural safety performance of the GRS panel showed 12.4MPa and 16.2MPa each in flexural strength at 2 and 3% content of glass fiber while the flexural strength at 4 and 5% of glass fiber content showed 26.9MPa, and 30.2MPa, respectively, all satisfying the standards. In addition, air-dried gravity was found to be 1.82~1.89 in measuring range at 2~5% level of glass fiber content, satisfy the existing standards 1.8~2.3. In structural safety performance, the range of flexural strength consequent on glass fiber content was surveyed to be 12.8~30.2MPa, all satisfying the performance standards, while 10MPa and more while the compressive strength range was found to be 41.5~53.3MPa, all satisfying the performance standards, 40~60MPa. This study judged the suitability of only the items for a property of matter of landscape stone GRS by applying the natural-form landscape stone GFRC material standard, but in case an installation constructed with GRS material comes into existence later, there should be comprehensive performance guidelines through the research on durability, landscape performance and environmental and ecological performance.

  • Astronomic surveying has been regarded as an important method for absolute positioning of geodetic datum in each countries under the local geodetic reference system. The purposes of this study are to determine astrogeodetic geoidal heights referred to Bessel ellipsoid and to determine deflection of the vertical and geoidal heights referred to GRS80 of World Geodetic System by astronomic surveying data which have been surveyed after 1970 in Korea. The results show that $\xi$ component of the deflection of the vertical distribute from -5.725" to 8.005" and $\eta$ component distribute from -14.917" to 6.2" and astrogeodrtic geoidal heights distribute from 23 m to 27 m in the study area. Also, we could see that GRS80 was more optimal ellipsoid than Bessel 1841 ellipsoid to Korea through comparing both astrogeotic geoidal heights referred to GRS80 and Bessel 1841 ellipsoid.

  • The purposes of this study were : 1) to assess the level of pain and to identity the varieties and the degree of pain-related behavior, 2) to measure the level of correlation between the level of pain and the degree of pain- related behavior, 3) to test the correlation between the Korean Pain Rating Scale (KPRS) and Graphic Rating Scale(GRS), and 4) to gather data relevant to the Socio-demographic status of the subjects. The level of pain was measured by KPRS and GRS developed by the researchers. The KPRS consists of three dimensions ; the sensory, the affective and the miscellaneous and the GRS of two separate scales ; the intensity scale and the unpleasantness scale. Of the 2, 025 who had visited orthopedic and neurosurgical out-patients department of 11 university hospitals in various districts of Korea with the episode of Joint pain, 405 subjects were self-selected by responding to the data gathering tools and questionaires mailed. The results are summaried as follows : 1. Maale(217, 53.6%) exceeded female patients(188, 46.4%) in number and the onset of joint pain was more prevalent in the age groups of the 20s and the 30s. 160(39.5%) had been hospitalized for the treatment of, and 87(21.5%) had retired because of the joint pain. 2. Mean pain score measured by KPRS was 128.31 (range; 0-1.344.8) ; mean sensory score was 43.23(range ; 0-645.88%), mean affective score was 46.09(range ; 0- 356.72), and mean miscellaneous score was 39.99(range ; 0-341.68). Mean pain scores measured by GRS were ; sensory intensity score ; 109.1(range ; 0-200) and distress score ; 99.1 (range ; 0-200). 3. The prevalent sites of joint pain revealed to be the right knee joint(203; 50.1%), left knee joint(181(44.7%), left ilium(147, 36.3%), lumbar region (106; 26.2%), hip joint(92; 22.7%) and the ankle(84; 20.7%). 4. The average sleep hour was 6.8hours per day and the average rest hour during the day hours was 3.3hours (range 0-20). 5. The average duration of suffering from joint pain was 49.1 months. 6. Most of the subjects(298; 73.6%) used some sorts of pain relieving practices ; the most prevalent pain relieving practice was the compliance with the physician prescribed treatments(34.4%). 7. The level of discomfort in carrying out the ADL(activities of daily living was 101.16(38.83) and the level of needs for aid in carrying out the ADL was 76.62(31.79). 8. The interrelation between KPRS total score and GRS sensory intensity score(.4438), as well as that of GRS distress score(r=.4446) were not highly correlated, however, sensory and affective dimension within KPRS (.7547) and pain intensity and distress score of GRS(.6975) revealed moderate intercorrelation. 9. Pain-related behaviors such as discomfort in carrying out ADL, the need for aids in carrying out ADL, frequency of pain relieving practices, varieties of pain sites and length of rest hours during the day hours revealed to be highly correlated with the level of pain measured by KPRS, GRS sensory intensity scale and GRS distress scale. The following are recommended ; 1. Test for the correlation of KPRS total score and the summated score of GRS ; sensory intensity and distress scores. 2. Possibilities of utilization of the pain-related behaviors which revealed high correlation as indirect assessment tool for measuring the level of pain.
