This paper presents a logistic regression and GIS based urban ground sink susceptibility assessment using underground facility information considering soil particle loss. In the underground environment, the particle loss due to water flow or groundwater level change leads to the occurrence and expansion of cavities, which directly affect the ground sink. Four different contributory factors were selected according to the two underground facility domains (water pipeline area, sewer pipeline area) and subway line area. The logistic regression method was used to analyze the correlation and to derive the regression equation between the ground sink inventory and the contributory factors. Based on these results, three ground sink susceptibility maps were generated. The results obtained from this study are expected to provide basic data on the area susceptible to ground sink and needed to safety monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to propose a system improvement plan to prevent ground sinking accidents. To do this, follow the procedure below. First, it defines terms that are used interchangeably, such as ground subsidence and ground depression. Second, analysis of the current status and cause of ground sink, and the analysis of the correlation between rainfall and ground sink causes, derives priority management causes. Third, we propose a system improvement plan for the cause of priority management. As a result, damage to underground pipes and inadequate underground works were identified as the cause of priority management, and two system improvement plans to manage them were proposed. The results of this study can be used as basic data for improving the system for more effective prevention of underground sink in the future.

Heat sink has been used to help an electrical device operate in normal temperature condition. But heat sink radiates unwanted electromagnetic wave, which may cause electromagnetic interference problem. A resistance loaded grounding technique is proposed to reduce electromagnetic wave radiation by a heat sink. Numerical simulations are accomplished to find optimal loading resistance. Also electromagnetic fields radiated by from a heat sink are measured and compared with the simulation results. The test results verify the usefulness of the proposed technique.

Riverbank filtration wells have been developed to supply a heat source/sink of water in the alluvium aquifer to ground water heat pumps for cooling and heating of a green house. In order to look for an appropriate site to carry out the research, two sites of Jinju and Gumi areas were investigated. In the results of the electrical resistivity surveys, Jinju and Gumi areas have the alluvium aquifer in the depth of 6~17 m and 10~20 m under the ground respectively. Two boreholes have been drilled in each site of both areas. The averaged water level at Jinju site is about 3 m under the ground, and 3.5 m and 6.5 m of sandy gravel aquifer layers are existed in each site. While Gumi site has 10 m water level and 2.5 m and 4.6 m of sandy gravel aquifer. Therefore, it is expected that $1,000m^3$/day of water could be withdrawn at Jinju site rather than Gumi site.

The road sinks in the sewer line or subway section are affected by the ground characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify the relationship between the soil properties and the ground motion in the area where cavities occurred in order to establish a countermeasure against the road sink. In this paper, simulation was performed by using EDEM program, which is one of the Discrete Element Method programs, for sandy soil and clayey soil, which are most common in alluvial deposits, with different locations and sizes of cavities in the underground. As a result, it was found that the sink size occurred more in the sandy soil than in the cohesive soil. Deeper and larger cavity is more likely to occur the road sink In the sand soil model while road sink in the clay model is easy to occur when the cavity is more shallower.

Energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structure, energy wells, energy slab, and pavement heating and cooling represent an innovative technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides substantial long-term cost savings and minimized maintenance. This paper focuses on earth-contact concrete elements that are already required for structural reasons, but which simultaneously work as heat exchangers. Pipes, energy slabs, filled with a heat carrier fluid are installed under conventional structural elements, forming the primary circuit of a geothermal energy system. The natural ground temperature is used as a heat source in winter and heat sink in summer season. The system represented very high heating and cooling performance due to the stability of EWT from energy slab. Maximum heat pump unit COP and system COP were 4.9 and 4.3.

Recently, there have been a lot of incidents related to ground sinks in urban areas, but restoration work is complicated and inconvenience due to on-site control, and particularly, grouting and soil filling are generally applied as recovery measures, but when the grouting or the soil filling is carried out, material segregation phenomenon occurs in the ground or a lot of restoration amount is often required, depending on the state of sinks and the existence of groundwater under the ground and the soil can be lost due to the flow of the ground water, and thus the purpose of this study is to develop a pouch-type filler applied to a trenchless method for emergency reinforcement of the ground sinks with the aim of quick recovery of the ground sink in urban areas, and as a result, it was confirmed that compression strength and the expansion ratio were different according to the temperature of ground water and the compression strength and the expansion ratio could be controlled by mixing alumina powder.

In this paper, we study a problem of passive suppression of helicopter Ground Resonance (GR) using a single degree freedom Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES), GR is a dynamic instability involving the coupling of the blades motion in the rotational plane (i.e. the lag motion) and the helicopter fuselage motion. A reduced linear system reproducing GR instability is used. It is obtained using successively Coleman transformation and binormal transformation. The analysis of the steadystate responses of this model is performed when a NES is attached on the helicopter fuselage. The NES involves an essential cubic restoring force and a linear damping force. The analysis is achieved applying complexification-averaging method. The resulting slow-flow model is finally analyzed using multiple scale approach. Four steady-state responses corresponding to complete suppression, partial suppression through strongly modulated response, partial suppression through periodic response and no suppression of the GR are highlighted. An algorithm based on simple criterions is developed to predict these steady-state response regimes. Numerical simulations of the complete system confirm this analysis of the slow-flow dynamics. A parametric analysis of the influence of the NES damping coefficient and the rotor speed on the response regime is finally proposed.

We presents an hazard zonation mapping technique in karst terrain and its assessment. From the detailed engineering geological mapping. Controlling factors of sink hole and limestone cave formation were discussed and 4 main hazard factors affecting hazard potential are identified as follows: prerequisite hazard factor(distributions of pre-existing sink holes and cavities), geomorphological hazard factors(slope gradient, vegetation, and drainage pattern etc.) geological hazard factors(lithology, fracture patterns and geological structures etc.) and hydraulic conditions(hydraulic head, annual fluctuation of ground water table and composition of g/w water). From the construction of hazard zonation map along the Jecheon-Maepo area, and vertical cross-sectional hazard zonations specific tunnel site we suggest hazard zonation rating systems.

A heat-sink has been widely used to cool down the heat generated from an electronic device, but it can bring unwanted electromagnetic radiation which may cause EMI problems. We propose a systematic method to reduce the electromagnetic radiation by using the multiple grounding technique based on the grounding criteria and the theory of characteristic mode analysis. Our proposed method provides the insight to find the specific grounding positions which can be effectively reduced the radiation from the heat-sink. Numerical experiments are accomplished to validate this approach.
