Predictions of stream water quality require both estimation of pollutant loading from different sources and simulation of water quality processes in the stream. Nonpoint source pollution models are often employed for estimating pollutant loading in rural watersheds. In this study, a conjunctive application of SWAT model and WASP model was made and evaluated for its applicability based on the simulation results. Runoff and nutrient loading obtained from the SWAT model were used for generating input data for WASP model. The results showed that the simulated runoff was in good agreement with the observed data and indicated reasonable applicability. Loading for the water quality parameters predicted by WASP model also showed a reasonable agreement with the observed data. It is expected that stream water quality could be predicted by the coupled application of the two models, SWAT and WASP, in rural watersheds.

In this study, the loading test and structural analysis were performed on the snow load and the results were compared. The load plates were loaded on the roof surface of the model, and structural analysis was performed under the same conditions. The result of loading test, the maximum displacement was observed in the center of the top, and the maximum stress was observed near the bottom point. Displacement and stress were found to have a high linear relationship with the load. Comparing the structural analysis results with the loading test results, the maximum displacement difference is 4.5% and the maximum stress difference is 10.2%. It is expected that closer results can be derived if the boundary conditions for the longitudinal direction of the model are clarified during experiments and analysis.

This paper presents the procedure to find the hysteresis loop of RC member using a modified strut-and-tie model. The forces and displacements at critical points, that are initial yielding point, target displacement point, unloading elastic limit, and reloading point after pinching, are investigated with the strut-and-tie models. Using bond-slip relationship, the elastic behavior of tie element is determined. The plastic flow behavior after flexural yielding is expressed by changing the location of longitudinal strut. Determination of pinching effect completes the initial hysteresis loop, assuming that the behavior of the opposite direction is symmetrical form.

This study was investigated discharge and water quality for rainy days at the inflow streams (Gog-Kyo, Mu-Han, Sap-Kyo and Nam-Won) into Lake Sap-Kyo from June to November of 1999. The eventual aim of this study was to improve the water quality of Lake Sap-Kyo. Therefore, in order to reduce inflow pollutants loading into Lake Sap-Kyo, we investigated characteristics of stormwater runoff and estimated pollutant loading for the rainy season. The results of that Sap-Kyo stream is $5.75\;m^3/sec$ flow and influences water quantity of Lake Sap-Kyo greatly during the dry weather. Gog-Kyo stream influence to quantity of Lake Sap-Kyo greatly for the rainy days. Gog-Kyo stream and Sap-Kyo stream are $12.13\;m^3/sec$ and $8.49\;m^3/sec$, respectively. The reason is that the watershed area of Gog-Kyo stream is larger than other streams. When we prepare to plan management to improve the water quality of Lake Sap-Kyo, we have to consider that runoff characteristics by land use. Among the annual total pollutants loading inflow Lake Sap-Kyo, the ratio of non-point pollutants loading estimated that SS, BOD, T-N and T-P are 62%, 43%, 41% and 27%, respectively. Therefore, in order to improve water quality of Lake Sap-Kyo, we have to reduce non-point pollutants loading.

Success or failure of the bi-directional pile load test for drilled shaft depends on point selection for loading cells, that is balanced location both uplift force and downward force. Methods to evaluate the ultimate unit side resistance in rockmass layer in both domestic and foreign are based on the uniaxial compression strength of rock core, which can hardly be obtained in domestic rockmass layers which are weathered rockmass layer and soft rockmass layer with very low RQD. Therefore, this study suggested the relation charts between the revised SPT N values and developed unit side resistance of each different layers, which were obtained from bi-directional pile load tests in various domestic sites. To evaluate the appropriateness of the relation charts, the developed unit side resistances from the relation charts were used to select the loading cell position and compared with the measured unit side resistances from field pile load test. Results showed that the developed side resistance from relation charts and the measured side resistance of weathered soil layer and weathered rock layer were very close. Average developed side resistance($1,325kN/m^2$), which are average of upper soft rock layer of loading device($1,151kN/m^2$) and lower($1,500kN/m^2$), was similar with the estimated value ($1,250kN/m^2$).

This paper reports the influence of number of layers and length of GFRP sheets wrapped onto RCC beams for strengthening. Twelve beams of size $700mm{\times}150mm{\times}150mm$ were cast and tested. Two beams without GFRP and ten beams wrapped in different lay-up patterns with one and two layers of GFRP sheets was subjected to three point loading test and ultrasonic pulse velocity test. Initial crack load, ultimate failure load and types of failure have been observed and noted. Experimental results indicate a significant increase in initial and ultimate load carrying capacity of GFRP wrapped beams compared to unwrapped beams. The failed control specimen was retrofitted using U wrap scheme and tested under three point loading.

Purpose: The deformation characteristics induced by non-destructive stresses using piezoelectric transducer(PZT) were analyzed for 3-unit fixed partial dentures manufactured PFM, Everest(CAD/CAM) and Zirkonzahn(copy milling, MAD/MAM) by electron speckle pattern interferometery(ESPI). Methods: The ESPI analysis after loading the restoration with PZT by applying electric voltage of 900mV at the points of 10 mm above the base of the prostheses. Results: PFM and All-Ceramic Everest prostheses showed about 0.1 ${\mu}m$ while that of All- Ceramic Zirkonzahn prostheses showed 0.085 ${\mu}m$, demonstrating that Zirkonzahn displaced less. For PFM and All-Ceramic Zirkonzahn prostheses, the displacements were large at just below the loading point, while generalize displacement was shown over the loading point and weak connector areas for All-Ceramic Everest prostheses. Conclusion: We could find that the deformation characteristics induced by non-destructive stresses using PZT analyzed by ESPI were similar to the fracture strengths evaluated using universal testing machine.

A steel shear wall with double-tapered links and in-plane reference was developed for assisting the assessment of the structural condition of a building after an earthquake while maintaining the original role of the wall as a passive damper device. The double-tapered link subjected to in-plane shear deformation is designed to deform torsionally after the onset of local buckling and works as an indicator of the maximum shear deformation sustained by the shear wall during an earthquake. This paper first examines the effectiveness of double-tapered links in the assessment of the structural condition under various types of loading. A design procedure using a baseline incremental two-cycle loading protocol is verified numerically and experimentally. Meanwhile, in-plane reference links are introduced to double-tapered links and greatly enhance objectivity in the inspection of notable torsional deformation with the naked eye. Finally, a double-layer system, which consists of a layer with double-tapered links and a layer with rectangular links made of low-yield-point steel, is tested to demonstrate the feasibility of realizing both structural condition assessment and enhanced energy dissipation.

In this study, the swelling characteristics of reconstituted clayey soil were investigated by STD and CRS test. The strain rate during loading was constant i.e. 0.05 %/min, 0.03 %/min and during unloading was varied in proportion to 1/1, 1/5, 1/10 and 1/15 of strain rate during loading. From this study the following conclusions were obtained; (1) There were similar values, especially, during unloading in case of 1/10 or 1/15 of strain rate during loading and the test results between STD and CRS were much to be alike. (2) The cross point of effective stress versus excess pore water pressure ratio curve, was increased during unloading, while the stress level of the cross point was decreased. The stress level can be separated into two zones according to the swelling index named Cs1 and Cs2. From the test results, the values of Cs1 were approximately constant irrespective of strain rate during unloading, but the values of Cs2 were much influenced by strain rate. (3) In CRS consolidation tests, it was found that unloading strain rate did not affect on the existence of zone.
