Simultaneous tidal current observation at five or seven stations on the channel near Incheon Habour was conducted at neap, mean and spring tides during the period of August 16 to August 27, 1976 and the characteristic of tidal currents with each tide was studied by the analysis of these data. Times of slack refer to the times of high and low waters at neap, mean and spring tides seem to be small. Times of maximum current refer to the times of high and low waters at the mean tide tends to appear earlier than that of the neap tide and later than that of the spring tide. The velocity ratio of maximum ebb current to maximum flood current at the mean tide has larger value than that of neap tide and has smaller value than that of spring tide. The current velocity ratio of spring tide to neap tide and to mean tide are approximately 1.8 and 1.3, respectively.

Wave propagation is changed by the effect of shoaling, current-depth refraction and shelter-ing etc. To solve these problems. numerous models have been developed. In the present study, a coordinate system is proposed based on the wave ray equation with the wave number equation including diffraction effects . The governing equation for the study was derived from the mild slope wave equation in non-steady state, including current effects (Kirby, 1986a) and trans-formed into an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system on the basis of the wave ray equation. To obtain a numerical solution, an explicit finite difference scheme was used, and solved by the relaxation method. This model was tested for various cases: Firstly a submersed circular shoal and a constant unit depth. Secondly a submerged elliptic shoal on a slope, and finally a breakwater harbour with obliquely incident waves on a slope. The model was found to simulate the experimental results and other theoretical results in wave height and wave angle fairy well, and the applicability of the model around an arbitrary shaped coastal structure was also verified. To demonstrate the general usefullness of the present approach , the model is to be applied to a field situation with a complex bed topography.

Based on a linear potential theory, the boundary element method(BEM) is developed and applied to analyze the hydrodynamic forces and the motion responses of a floating body with a partially reflective sidewall. The hydrodynamic forces (added mass and damping coefficients) are dependent on not only the submergence of a floating body and the reflection of a sidewall, but also the gap between body and sidewall. In particular, the partial reflection of a sidewall plays an importance role in the motion responses of a floating body at resonant frequencies. It reduces the resonant peaks caused by resonance phenomenon due to the wave trapping in an enclosed fluid domain between body and sidewall. Developed predictive tools can be used to assess the motion performance of a floating body for various combinations of configuration of a floating body, wave heading, sidewall properties, and wave characteristics and applied to supply the basic informations for the harbour design considering the motion characteristics of a moored ship.

To learn the Earth's shape is a very important achievement standard in the earth science education. The purpose of this study is for helping school experiments by investigating effective experiments of the Earth's shape of each stage of school. Researchers suggest various experiment methods to learn the Earth's shape and investigated appropriate experiments to stage of elementary school, secondary school, high school and university for 26 pre-service teachers. As a result, there is difference between schools in effective experiments of the Earth's shape. Pre-service teachers thought that to observe a sail of ship to come back to a harbour is effective for elementary school students. And they responded that to compare the altitude of the polar star by latitudes is good for the secondary and high school students and to compare difference of sight according to height of the ground is effective for university students. They thought that level of the experiment method, abstract thinking and depth of background knowledge should be considered when teachers choose an effective experiment of the Earth's shape.

This is a geodetic study on the the shoreline changes occurred by the facilities constructed in the beach. There are emperical, hydrological and numerical methods in predicting of the shorline changes. Numerical method is the most suitable method in the field of geodesy. There are many predicting models. This study adopted one-line model because it has a few hydrological factor and simplify the natural phenomena. This study established the ideal seawall boundary condition, applied the explicit model and the implicit model in the Dongsan harbour in East Sea, and could predict the optimum seawall position for protection of shore. The results are following ; Seawall protect shore of which input angle of wave is below 20$^\circ$, a ratio of wave height bleak/line does not effect in shoreline changes. The implicit model is accuracy but can not predict longtime change. But the explicit model is the opposite of the implicit model.

Grouting for soil improvement has generally been applied to the depth over water table. Recently, it is needed to develop the grouting technique for soils under greater static water pressure or greater overburden pressure in constructions such as deep excavation or harbour deepening. In this study, a laboratory apparatus was developed to control the injection pressure, load pressure, and hydrostatic pressure. A series of experiments were performed with various degrees of hydrostatic pressure using the developed equipment. As a result, injected volume increase as injection pressure increase, while the volume significantly decreased under hydrostatic pressure. Larger volume of grout bulb was shown in soils with larger granular and pore size based on the comparison result of volume changes with respect to the amount of grouting injection.

A marine collision accident occurred at the Jin-do water way. A barge loaded with heavy equipment of Power Generation Plant was being towed at its side by two tugs "A" and "B" from Byeg-pa harbour to the designated position to be used for power generation plant near Jin-do bridge. The Power Generation Plant was 40-meters high loaded atop the barge. When the "tugs and tow" were approaching the Jin-do the bridge, the two towing tugs lost maneuvering control of the barge and it went off-course, hit first the waterway embankment and finally struck the lower part of bridge's span and post musing the barge to capsize and sunk its cargo into the sea. The bridge also suffered damages where the top of the Plant struck At the time of the accident, there was a strong tidal current at the waterway. This paper calculates the safe towing force of barges with heavy loads when traversing in a strong tidal current situation in narrow waterway.

The injection of cement stabilizer is used as one of ways to stabilize soft sea-bottom. However, this method makes an argument for the possibility of releasing heavy metals from the cement stabilizer to the seawater. To investigate the effect of the cement stabilizer on the seawater, field measurements were carried out in Ocheon harbor of the Chunsoo Bay. Although the highest concentrations of dissolved heavy metals were found in the surface seawater of the injection point and the metal concentrations decreased with distances, the levels of heavy metals in all the seawater met the demand of environmental criteria of Korea, US and UK.

The contents of inorganic conservative constituents in the downstream water were determined in spring tides of every month from May 1977 to April 1978 at eight stations of Nagdong River. Samples were taken at the intervals of one or two hours from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. at each station. Annual ranges and means of the chemical constituents over all the stations except station one, Kupo, ate as follows: pH 6.4-9.3, 7.7; electrical conductivity $0.085-0.345\times10^3\;\mu\mho/cm,\;0.196\times10^3\;\mu\mho/cm;$ chloride 5.8-50.0ppm, 17.7ppm: fluoride ND-0.19 ppm, 0.06 ppm: sulfate 5.5-41.1 ppm, 20.7 ppm; calcium 6-26 ppm, 17 ppm; magnesium 2.0-12.8 ppm, 5.1 ppm; sodium 7-26 ppm, 13 ppm; potassium 1.4-3.8 pprn, 2.3 ppm respectively. The seasonal variations of contents of the chemical constituents were not large and showed nearly definite values at all the stations except station one, Kupo. At station one, seasonal variations were large and the contents were excessively high due to inflow of seawater compared with other stations. The values over 50 ppm in chloride were not determined during the determination period at Mul Geum where the intake station for Busan city water is located. Most constituents except pH and fluoride were over the criteria for drinking water at Kupo, while at other stations only pH value was exceeded the upper limit of the criterion especially in summer period. The pH values tended to increase in the afternoon when water temperature was high. The chloride concentration was shown the highest value at station one, Kupo, with about 2 hours delay after high water of Busan harbour and 3-3.5 hours at Mul Geum.

Piezo-ceramics are special materials which transform energy from mechanical to electrical forms and vice versa. Bender elements are composite materials consisting of thin piezo-ceramics and elastic shims, and are widely used as actuators and transducers in the field of electronics, robotics, autos and mechatronics utilizing the effectiveness of energy transformation capability. In geotechnical engineering, commercial bender elements are used in laboratory as source and receiver in the measurements of soil stiffness. The elements were built by using various metal shims sandwiched between piezo-ceramics and coating over the composite in the research. A pair of elements were buried in a concrete block and used as source and receiver to measure the stiffness of the concrete. The test results were verified by comparing with the resonant column testing results. In a preliminary stage of the development of an in-situ seismic testing equipment using bender elements for soft clay materials, shear waves were generated and measured by burying the elements in the barrel of kaolinite and water mixture. The measured shear wave signals were so distinct for the first-arrival pick that applicability of the elements in the field measurements could be very promising.
