The ground deformation due to the tunnel excavation is dependent on various factors such as ground condition, geometry of the tunnel, excavation method, installation of support members, construction condition of each excavation stage, etc. And the distance from the facing effects significantly the stress conditions of the supported and unsupported ground due to the 3-dimensional structural nature of the excavated tunnel. The concept of ground characteristic line has been applied to properly consider the loading condition given by staged tunnel excavation so that the imaginary supporting pressure is applied against the surface of excavated ground. Discussions on the results of the performed finite element analysis were mainly made with respect to the ground settlement, tunnel displacement, earth pressure, stress mobilized in supporting members.

The present study proposed to examine the appropriateness of the ground water level condition that had a significant effect on the stability of the slopes and, for this purpose, analyzed the rise of ground water level during the rainy season by applying the average daily rainfall of Seoul for the last 30 years. The result showed that the rise of ground water level was 6.0$\sim$41.0% of the slope height, which suggests that the currently applied condition of ground water level is somewhat overestimated. In addition, the result of interpreting the stability of slopes during the rainy season, slopes were unstable in all conditions when the ground water level was at the ground surface and base failure occurred. This suggests the importance of ground water level condition in stability analysis.

Assessing health condition of crop in the field is one of core operation in precision fanning. A sensing system was proposed to remotely detect the crop health condition in terms of SP AD readings directly related to chlorophyll contents of crop using a multispectral camera equipped on ground-based platform. Since the image taken by a camera was sensitive to changes in ambient light intensity, it was needed to convert gray scale image data into reflectance, an index to indicate the reflection characteristics of target crop. A reference reflectance panel consisting of four pieces of sub-panels with different reflectance was developed for a dynamic calibration, by which a calibration equation was updated for every crop image captured by the camera. The system performance was evaluated in a field by investigating the relationship between com canopy reflectance and SP AD values. The validation tests revealed that the com canopy reflectance induced from Green band in the multispectral camera had the most significant correlation with SPAD values $(r^2=0.75)$ and NIR band could be used to filter out unwanted non-crop features such as soil background and empty space in a crop canopy. This research confirmed that it was technically feasible to develop a ground-based remote sensing system for assessing crop health condition.

This study investigated the acceleration response and shape change characteristics of a gravity quay wall according to the magnitude of the applied acceleration. The quay wall was defined as a port facility damaged by the Kobe earthquake. Four experimental scenarios were established based on the inclination condition grades, considered to be a significant defect factor in the quay wall. Then, the shaking table test was conducted using scaled-down quay wall models constructed per each scenario. The ground acceleration was gradually increased from the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.1 g to 0.7 g. After each ground acceleration test, acceleration installed on the wall and backfill ground and inclination on the top of the wall were measured to assess the amplification of peak response acceleration and maximum response amplitude and the change in the inclination of the quay wall. This study also analyzed the separation of the quay wall from the backfill and the crack pattern of the backfill ground according to PGA values and inclination condition grades. The result of this study shows that response acceleration could provide a reasonable prediction for the changes in the inclination of the quay wall and the crack generation and propagation on the backfill from a current inclination condition grade.

Tunnel construction activity, conducted mainly in mountains and within urban centres, causes soil settlement, thus requiring the relevant management of slopes and structures as well as evaluations of risk and stability. Accordingly, in this study we performed a three-dimensional finite element analysis to examine the behaviour of piles and pile cap stability when a tunnel passes near the bottom of the foundation of a pile group connected by a pile cap. We examined the results via numerical analysis considering different conditions for reinforcement of the ground between the tunnel and the pile foundation. The numerical analysis assessed the angular distortion of the pile cap, pile settlement, axial force, shear stress, relative displacement, and volume loss due to tunnel excavation, and pile cap stability was evaluated based on Son and Cording's evaluation criterion for damage to adjacent structures. The pile located closest to the tunnel under the condition of no ground reinforcement exhibited pile head settlement approximately 70% greater than that of the pile located farthest from the tunnel under the condition of greatest ground reinforcement. Additionally, pile head settlement was greatest when the largest volume loss occurred, being approximately 18% greater than pile head settlement under the condition having the smallest volume loss. This paper closely examines the main factors influencing the behaviour of a pile group connected by a pile cap for three ground reinforcement conditions and presents an evaluation of pile cap stability.

Previous settlement prediction method based on settlement monitoring such as hyperbolic, monden method were developed under instantaneous loading condition and have restriction to be applied to soft ground under ramp loading condition. In this study, settlement prediction method under ramp loading was developed. New settlement prediction method under ramp loading considers influence factors of consolidation settlement and increase accuracy of settlement prediction using field monitoring data after ramp loading. Large consolidation tests for ideally controlled one dimensional consolidation under ramp loading condition were performed and the settlement behavior was predicted based on the monitoring data. As a result, new prediction method is expected to have great applicability and practicability for the prediction of settlement behavior.

Structural design of the vertical displacements and shear strains in the earth fill (EF) dams has great importance in the structural engineering problems. Moreover, far fault earthquakes have significant seismic effects on seismic damage performance of EF dams like the near fault earthquakes. For this reason, three dimensional (3D) earthquake damage performance of Oroville dam is assessed considering different far-fault ground motions in this study. Oroville Dam was built in United States of America-California and its height is 234.7 m (770 ft.). 3D model of Oroville dam is modelled using FLAC3D software based on finite difference approach. In order to represent interaction condition between discrete surfaces, special interface elements are used between dam body and foundation. Non-reflecting seismic boundary conditions (free field and quiet) are defined to the main surfaces of the dam for the nonlinear seismic analyses. 6 different far-fault ground motions are taken into account for the full reservoir condition of Oroville dam. According to nonlinear seismic analysis results, the effects of far-fault ground motions on the nonlinear seismic settlement and shear strain behaviour of Oroville EF dam are determined and evaluated in detail. It is clearly seen that far-fault earthquakes have very significant seismic effects on the settlement-shear strain behaviour of EF dams and these earthquakes create vital important seismic damages on the swelling behaviour of dam body surface. Moreover, it is proposed that far-fault ground motions should not be ignored while modelling EF dams.

절취 사면에서의 파괴는 사면의 내부 또는 외부 요인들의 결합에 의해 발생한다. 내부 요인은 사면 자체의 지질 또는 형상 조건과 관련된 파괴 요인이며, 외부 요인은 자연적 또는 인위적으로 사면에 가해지는 파괴 요인이다. 각 요인에 의한 사면 파괴에 기치는 영향의 정도는 사면을 구성하는 지반 조건에 따라 다르며, 사면의 거동 특성에 의해 제어된다. 이 연구에서는 사면의 지반 조건을 거동 특성에 따라 구분하는 기준으로 토층심도율(SR), 블록크기비(BR) 및 암석강도를 사용하였다. 이런 기준에 의하면 사면의 지반 조건은 불연속체적 절리 암반과 연속체적 토상 지반, 파쇄 암반, 괴상 암반으로 구분된다. SFi-system은 이와 같이 구분된 지반 조건에 따라 내부 파괴 요인과 외부 파괴 요인을 평가함으로써 사면 파괴 지수(SFi)를 결정하는 평가 시스템이다. 이 평가 시스템을 실제적으로 사면에 적용한 결과, 사면 파괴 지수는 사면 파괴의 가능성 및 규모와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 보여준다. 따라서 SFi-system은 사면의 파괴 예측과 그 특성 분석을 위한 효과적인 도구로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents a distance relaying algorithm for phase-to-ground faults in transmission lines under Multi-Agent protection environment. In normal condition, a distance relay agent stores the latest states, e.g., voltage of source side, voltage of the opposite side and the loading conditions, etc., through communication between the agents. Once a fault occurs, the relay calculates the fault location using the knowledge about the states just before the fault happens. This stand-alone operation is to improve reliability under the fault condition at which the accuracy or time required for communication may not be guaranteed. The mathematical expression of fault location is derived through loop analysis, before hand, in the manner that both fault current from the opposite end and fault resistance are included implicitly so that their effects are minimized. The suggested algorithm is applied to a typical transmission system with two power sources on both ends to show its effectiveness.

본 연구에서는 2017년 11월 15일에 포항에서 발생한 규모 5.4의 지진으로 인하여 영일만항의 케이슨식 안벽 및 배후지에서 지반내에 발생된 과잉간극수압으로 유발된 침하와 수평변위를 지반배수조건(즉 비배수조건과 배수조건)에 따라 해석하였다. 일반적으로 비배수조건에서 지진응답해석을 실시하는데 본 연구에서는 배수조건 해석을 실시하여 지진 시 생기는 변위와 지진 이후에 과잉간극수압이 소산하면서 발생하는 추가적인 변위의 결과를 산정하였다. 지진 이후의 결과는 비배수조건의 해석에서는 알 수 없는 부분이다. 두 결과에 대한 비교 분석을 통해 지반배수조건에 따라 구조물과 지반의 거동 차이를 분명하게 확인하였다. 특히 배수조건의 해석 결과에서 지진이후 과잉간극수압 소산에 따른 추가적인 변위가 분명하게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 지진응답해석에서 지반배수조건에 따른 두 해석결과의 차이가 존재하는 것을 보여주는 것으로 지반과 구조물의 거동을 더 명확하게 해석하기 위해서는 배수조건에 대한 해석도 필요하다는 것을 나타내는 것이다.
