Numerical calculations were performed to investigate the influence in aerodynamic characteristics of a rotor system by surrounding structures and the ground effect for the rotor blade on a whirl tower is also investigated. Three dimensional Navier-Stokes simulations were carried out by using unstructured overset mesh technique and parallel computation. The calculated hover performance showed good agreement with the experimental result and showed that the structures around the whirl tower did not affect the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade. The ground effect was studied by comparing with the numerical result for the out of ground condition and the result of an analytic model.

This paper presents the results of investigation on the influencing factors for GESC(Geogrid-Encased Stone Column) method in soft ground. A parametric study was then conducted on the influencing factors such as replacement ratio, geogrid stiffness and thickness of soft ground using stress-porepressure coupled analysis. The results indicate that the relationship between these parameters and settlement ratio, and the relationship between these parameters and stress concentration factor can be identified.

This paper presents the effect of groundwater on tunneling performance. The interaction between the tunneling and groundwater was examined using a 3D stress-pore pressure coupled finite-element analysis, The results of the 3D coupled analysis were then compared with those of a total stress analysis. Examined items included pore pressures around lining and lining forces. Also examined include face displacements and ground surface movements, The results indicated that the interaction between the tunneling and ground water significantly increases the lining forces and ground deformations, and that the effect of ground water on tunneling can only be captured through a fully coupled analysis, Implementations of the findings from this study arc discussed in great detail.

An investigation of tunnel linings is performed at two tunnels in the US using complimentary noncontact techniques: air-coupled ground penetrating radar (GPR), and a vehicle-mounted scanning system (SPACETEC) that combines laser, visual, and infrared thermography scanning methods. This paper shows that a combination of such techniques can maximize inspection coverage in a comprehensive and efficient manner. Since ground-truth is typically not available in public tunnel field evaluations, the noncontact techniques used are compared with two reliable in-depth contact nondestructive testing methods: ground-coupled GPR and ultrasonic tomography. The noncontact techniques are used to identify and locate the reinforcement mesh, structural steel ribs, internal layer interfaces, shallow delamination, and tile debonding. It is shown that this combination of methods can be used synergistically to provide tunnel owners with a comprehensive and efficient approach for monitoring tunnel lining conditions.

In this paper, the experimental investigation for the setting properties of cement paste, the consistency and strength properties of mortar with steel furnace slag dust was performed and compared with those of cement paste and mortar with ground granulated blast furnace slag. When steel furnace slag dust was replaced with normal portland cement, setting time and flow value indicated to good results like as mortar with ground granulated blast furnace slag. However, mortar with steel furnace slag dust expressed to appreciably strength devaluation according to containing ratio, and did not indicate the pozzolanic reaction like as ground granulated blast furnace slag.

Remediation actions in uncontrolled landfill site should be conducted after the investigation of contamination status and potential health risk or damage. Based on the above, proper control measures should be established and operated. Also continuous monitoring should be followed. In this study, the status of ground water contamination around Nanji Landfill Site was investigated. Monitoring wells were installed around the landfill and ground water was sampled once a month and analyzed. Water quality of each monitoring well was different depending on the horizontal and vertical distance from the landfill, and the seasonal leachate characteristics were not significantly changed because percolating water stayed long time in the deep waste layer. It was predicted that major multivalent cations were mainly precipitated as metal carbonate form, and chemical mass balances (CMBs) could be applied for the apportionment of leachate contamination to ground water quality of surrounding areas of Nanji Landfill. Parameters required to estimate pollutant flux to the receptor near landfill were listed and discussion to get these parameters was made. Finally, based on the above data, control measures of ground water contamination were suggested and discussed.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of ground impedance in the low frequency region regarding the transiant state on the soil and ground electrodes(rod, electric rod with needles, electric mesh). The grounding resistance playing an important part in substation grounding designs is measured. Especially, the reduction effect of ground impedance by using the electric rod with needles in the soils are presented.

To increase the dissolution rate of furosemide, cogrinding or coprecipitating of furosemide with povidone was carried out. The ground mixture of furosemide with povidone was prepared by cogrinding in a ceramic ball mill and the coprecipitate was prepared by solvent method using methanol. The povidone ground mixture and the coprecipitate showed a faster and more enhanced dissolution rate than the physical mixture or intact furosemide. The IR, DTA and TGA studies showed the physicochemical modifications of furosemide from the ground mixture and the coprecipitate. An interaction, in the ground mixture and in the coprecipitate, such as association between the functional groups of furosemide and povidone might occur in the molecular level. The coprecipitating and cogrinding techniques with povidone provided a promising way to increase the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs.

A liquid rocket engine experiences various static loads in flight, such as high pressures due to propellents, thrust and thermal loads due to cryogenic liquid oxygen and combustion gas with extreme vibration. During the engine development stage, structural analyses and investigation on the strain measured from ground firing tests are necessary for determining the structural reliability of the engine. In this study, the strain characteristics, obtained from the ground firing tests of a 75 tonf-class engine, were analyzed.

This study is related to save the bearing capacity from using Meyerhof formula namely, static mechanics formula with the S.P.T(N value) of the soft ground and is to choose the soft ground improvement method by the using of total load for the proper method of the pile foundation and then to design the most suitable pile foundation to fit the actual circumstance. The purpose of this study is calculating the diameter of the pile foundation by static mechanics formula and introducing the optimum design condition from the result of the bearing capacity for using N value of the S.P.T obtained from the deep soft ground about the piles such as P.H.C pile, pipe and cast-in-place pile of big diameter, etc. As above-mentioned, it is considered that the use of P.H.C pile or pipe pile is advisable on the synthetical investigation and that the selection of cast-in-place pile method is desirable in terms of the constructive safety and durability.
