The purpose of this paper is to describe the design of the decision support system for container terminal ship planning and to introduce the implemented system. The ship planning in container terminals consists of three major decision processes -the working schedule of gantry cranes the discharging sequence of inbound containers the loading position and sequence of outbound containers. For making these decision the proposed system can provide two ship planning modes the interactive planning mode with user-friendly GUI and the automated planning made. To implement the automated planning routine we acquired the planning rules from the expert planner in container terminals and developed an expert system based on the rules. Finally we evaluated the system developed and the potential for commercialization by using container terminal data.

A large percentage of maritime accidents in coastal seas are related to small fishing vessels. In order to investigate causes of maritime accidents, it is often necessary to carry out dynamic simulations for the estimation of trajectories and motions of vessels. Initial conditions of vessels such as main dimensions, loading conditions and hydrostatic properties are required for the accurate simulations. Small fishing vessels usually have few records of hydrostatic properties during their fishing operations. Therefore, in this study, estimation procedures for hydrostatic properties of small fishing vessels are proposed. At first, hull form characteristics of Korean small fishing vessels are investigated. Most of vessels have hard-chines and centerline skegs, they have similar hull forms. Bonjean curves of several small fishing vessels whose gross tonnages are below 10 tons are normalized with vessel breadths and depths. Representative bonjean curves are derived from normalized bonjean curves, and a representative hull plan is obtained as well. If the vessel loading conditions such as total weights and centers of gravity are given, fore and aft drafts can be calculated by using the representative bonjean curves with the constraint that weights and buoyancies are in equilibrium. Metacentric heights are also estimated by using the representative hull plan. Drafts and metacentric heights estimated by proposed iterative estimation procedures are compared with actual vessel data, estimated values are in good agreements with actual values. In addition, normalized fore and aft drafts, metacentric heights of vessels can be formulated as the linear functions of normalized total weights and centers of gravity. Empirical formulas of drafts and metacentric heights are proposed, and it is confirmed that the empirical formulas also provide reasonable results, which are similar to the results by iterative estimation procedures with representative bonjean curves and hull plan.

Namgang mid-watershed is located in downstream of Nakdong river basin. There are many pollution sources arround this area and it's control is important to manage a water quality of Nakdong river. A target year of Namgang mid-watershed water environment management plan is 2013. To predict a water quality at downstream of Namgang, we have investigated and forecasted the pollutant source and it's loading. There are some plan to construction the sewage treatment plants to improve the water quality of Nam river. Those are considered on predicting water quality. As results, it is shown that the population is 343,326 and sewerage supply rate is 79.2% and the livestock is 1,662,000 in Namgang mid-watershed. It is estimated that the population is 333,980, the sewerage supply rate is 86.9% in 2013. The milk cow and cattle were estimated upward and the pigs were downward by 2013. The generated loading of BOD and TP is 75,957 kg/day and 4,311 kg/day, discharged loading is 18,481 kg/day and 988 kg/day respectively in 2006. It were predicted upward the discharged loading of BOD and TP by 4.08% and 6.3% respectively. The results of water quality prediction of Namgang4 site were 2.5 mg/L of BOD and 0.120 mg/L of TP in 2013. It is over the target water quality at that site in 2015 about 25.0% and 9.1% respectively. Consequently, there need another counterplan to reduce the pollutants in that mid-watershed.

We applied the TPM to loading and unloading equipments of Incheon port and compared with the current maintenance of Incheon port's equipments. Also we analyzed the death disaster causes of equipments and work tools and suggested TPM techniques as a plan of disaster prevention. Using TPM to the loading and unloading equipments we expect to obtain the breakdown zero, defective zero, and disaster zero. And then it should raise the productivity of harbor loading and unloading equipments.

The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is a watershed management system that involves the establishment of the target water quality, the calculation of permission loading (allocation loading), and the control of total pollutants for each unit watershed. Allocation loading is assessed through the comprehensive implementation assessment of the previous year's plan. Assessment results are used for follow-up management measures such as the limit of development and updating of TMDL Management Implementation Plans for the next planning period. Although detailed assessment criteria are important, they are not currently available. Therefore, we suggested assessment criteria by comparing two methods('integration method' and 'separation method') using combination point and non-point discharge loading. We also examined the penalty criteria considering controllable load local government and updating methods of the TMDL Management Implementation Plan for the next planning period.

This paper applies simulated annealing algorithm to the problem of generating a plan for intra-block remarshalling with multiple transfer cranes. Intra-block remarshalling refers to the task of rearranging containers scattered around within a block into certain designated target areas of the block so that they can be efficiently loaded onto a ship. In generating a remarshalling plan, the predetermined container loading sequence should be considered carefully to avoid re-handlings that may delay the loading operations. In addition, the required time for the remarshalling operation itself should be minimized. A candidate solution in our search space specifies target locations of the containers to be rearranged. A candidate solution is evaluated by deriving a container moving plan and estimating the time needed to execute the plan using two cranes with minimum interference. Simulation experiments have shown that our method can generate efficient remarshalling plans in various situations.

At container terminals, a major measurement of productivity can be work-efficiency in quay-side. At the apron, containers are loaded onto the ship and unloaded to apron by Q/C(Quay Crane). For improving the productivity of quay crane, the more efficient Y/T(Yard Tractor) operation method is necessary in container terminals. Between quay-side and yard area, current transferring methods is single-cycling which doesn't start loading unless it finishes unloading. Dual-cycling is a technique that can be used to improve the productivity of quay-side and utility of yard tractor by ship loading and unloading simultaneously. Using the dual-cycling at terminals only necessitates an operational change without purchasing extra equipment. Exactly, Y/T operation method has to be changed the dedicate system to pooling system. This paper presents an efficient ship loading and unloading plan in container terminals, which use the dual-cycling. We propose genetic and tabu search algorithm for this problem.

The collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings is mainly caused by the failure of columns. To prevent brittle failure of RC column, numerous studies have been conducted on the seismic performance of strengthened RC columns. Concrete jacketing method, which is one of the retrofitting method of RC members, can enhance strength and stiffness of original RC column with enlarged section and provide uniformly distributed lateral load capacity throughout the structure. The experimental studies have been conducted by many researchers to analyze seismic performance of seismic strengthened RC column. However, structures which have plan and vertical irregularities shows torsional behavior, and therefore it causes large deformation on RC column when subjected to seismic load. Thus, test results from concentric cyclic loading can be overestimated comparing to eccentric cyclic test results, In this paper, two kinds of eccentric loading pattern was suggested to analyze structural performance of RC columns, which are strengthened by concrete jacketing method with new details in jacketed section. Based on the results, it is concluded that specimens strengthened with new concrete jacketing method increased 830% of maximum load, 150% of maximum displacement and changed the failure modes of non-strengthened RC columns.

In this paper, we propose optimizing a remarshaling plan in an automated stacking yard using a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm (CCEA). Remarshaling is the preparation task of rearranging the containers in such a way that the delay are minimized at the time of loading. A plan for remarshaling can be obtained by the following steps: first determining the target slots to which the individual containers are to be moved and then determining the order of movement of those containers. Where a given problem can be decomposed into some subproblems, CCEA efficiently searches subproblems for a solution. In our CCEA, the remarshaling problem is decomposed into two subproblems: one is the subproblem of determining the target slots and the other is that of determining the movement priority. Simulation experiments show that our CCEA derives a plan which is better in the efficiency of both loading and remarshaling compared to other methods which are not based on the idea of problem decomposition.
