In this study, the seismic vulnerability of public river levees was analyzed quantitatively. Input seismic waves were generated in Pohang seismic waves in return periods of 200, 500, 1000, and 2400 years. The behavior of the levee was analyzed by seismic vulnerability analysis according to the return period. The displacement that occurs during an earthquake showed the same tendency as the input seismic wave and was largest in the return period of 2400 years. An analysis of the sliding stability revealed a 31.5% and 26.7% decrease in the sliding safety factor for the return period of 2400 for the landside and waterside, respectively. An examination of liquefaction by the q/p' ratio showed that the seepage line inside the embankment rises due to earthquakes. As a result, in the case of a return period of 2400 years, most embankments generate liquefaction, making them vulnerable to earthquakes. Through this research, it will be necessary to re-establish domestic seismic-design standards and establish clear standards for the results through a dynamics method.

The apparent activation energy Q$_{c}$ and the applied stress exponent n have been determined during creep of Al 7075 alloy over the temperature range of 90.deg. C to 320.deg. C (0.4-0.65T$_{m}$) and stress range of 1.85 kgf/mm$^{2}$ to 21 kgf/mm$^{2}$, respectively in order to investigate the creep behavior. Constant load creep tests were carried out in the experiment. At round the temperature of 200.deg. C-240.deg. C and under the stress level 8.13-9.55kgf/mm$^{2}$ and again at around the temperature of 280.deg. C-320.deg. C and under the stress level of 1.85-2.55kgf/mm$^{2}$, the creep behavior obeyed for the creep deformation was nearly equal to that of the volume self diffusion of pure aluminum (34kcal/mole). But at around the temperature of 90.deg. C and under the stress level of 10-21kgf/mm$^{2}$, the creep behavior did not obey a simple power-law relation and the apparent activation enrgy, Q$_{c}$ was 26.01 kcal/mole. From the above facts, at around the temperature of 200.deg. C-240.deg. C and 280.deg. C-320.deg. C, the creep deformation for Al 7075 alloy seemed to be controlled by dislocation climb but at 90.deg. C, by cross slip over the range of experimental stress conditions.tions.

In this study, estimation methodology for the pile of ultimation lateral resistance, pu, and ultimate lateral capacity, Pu, is based on the CPT cone resistance $q_c$. Preexistent methodologies for ultimate lateral resistance and ultimate lateral capacity have been generally represented with relative density, vertical effective stresses, and various $K_0$ values which are important for analyzing sandy soil. These methodologies, however, did not consider the horizontal effective stress and the effects of construction site conditions. Therefore, CPT-based methodology for the estimation of the ultimate lateral pile load capacity Hu was proposed. Calibration chamber test results were analyzed and compared with calculated results. The proposed estimation methodology for the pile of $p_u$ can be effectively utilized as alternative to preexistent methods.

Elastomeric O-rings have been the most common seals due to their excellent sealing capacity, and availability in costs and sizes. One of the critical applications of O-ring seals is solid rocket motor joint seal where the operating hot gas must be sealed during the combustion. This has long been a design issue to avoid the system failure. For laterally constrained, squeezed and pressurized condition, deformed shape of O-ring was measured by computed tomography method and CCD laser sensor, compared with numerical calculations. As clearance gap changes, sealing performance had been evaluated on peak contact stresses at top, bottom and side contact surfaces. As clearance gap increases, peak contact stresses and contact widths in top and side contact surfaces increase, and the asymmetry of stress distributions is promoted due to pressure increase. It is suggested that peak stress of bottom contact surface can be approximated by simple superposition of peak ones due to squeeze and pressure. Under pressurized condition, sealing performance is dependent on not peak stresses of bottom and side contact surfaces but that of top.

본 연구의 목적은 Piezocone 관입시험을 이용한 연약지반의 OCR 평가에 있어 기존의 여러 가지 해석방법들과 최근에 새롭게 제안된 방법들을 실내 모형토조에서 실측된 피에조콘 관입 실험치에 적용하여 각 해석방법들의 차이와 장단점들을 비교 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구의 연구실험방법으로는, Piezocone 관입을 위한 연약 모형지반 조성을 위하여 초대형 Slurry Consolidometer에 Free Stress 상태의 Slurry를 45일간 압밀시킨후 Automatic Computer Control Calibration Chamber (LSU/CALCHAS; Louisiana Slate University Calibration Chamber System)에 옮긴후 다시한번 압밀시키는 Two-Stage Consolidation Method를 사용하였다. 모형지반은 여러 가지 Boundary Condition들과 Stress Condition 그리고 Stress History등을 달리하여 총 5개의 지반을 조성하였다. 관입시험은 총 25개의 Piezocone 관입이 수행되어졌고, 그중 4개는 Standard 10 cm2 Piezocone이고, 나머지 21개는 Miniature Piezocone이 사용되었다. Piezocone 실험치들에 대한 여러 가지 OCR 해석방법 적용결과, Schmertmann방법은 5개 모형지반 모두에서 과다한 OCR평가를 보였으며, $B_{q}$ 방법은 일부모형지반에서 음의 OCR값으로 계산되어졌다. 그러나, Critical-Stale Soil Mechanics 와 Cavity Expansion 이론에 근거하여 Mayne(1991), Kurup(1993), Tumay et al (1995) 들이 제안한 OCR 평가방법들은 실험치와 잘맞는 경향을 보여주었다. 이와같은 이론 모델값들의 차이는 응력조건(Stress Condition)과 경계조건(Boundary Condition)들에 대한 각 해석방법들의 고려정도에 따른 결과로 판단된다.

Degradation problem due to long term service in machine or structure is now one of important problems in whole industrial field. In this study, pressure vessel steel, Cr-Mo steel, which was used more than 60,000 hours, was surface-modified by laser beam radiation for the improvement of fatigue strength. To find out optimum radiation condition, hardness, residual stress measurement and fatigue tests were carried out with the specimen of different radiation conditions. Experimental results show that micro-hardness values on the surface of the radiated specimens were approximately 2.2 times higher than those of un-radiated ones. In the depth direction of the specimen, hardness on the surface showed maximum value and was decreased at the inside the specimen. Different hardness values are due to the energy density Q which was absorbed by the specimen. Fatigue tests show that fatigue life was improved by the compressive residual stress after laser beam radiation. However, some specimens with differednt conditions show the shorter fatigue life. It means that laser beam radiation with optimum parameter can improve thae fatigue strength.

It has been widely known that the seismic piezo-cone penetration test (SCPTu) is one of the most useful techniques for investigating the geotechnical characteristics such as static and dynamic soil properties. As practical applications in Korea, SCPTu was carried out at two sites in Busan and four sites in Incheon, which are mainly composed of alluvial or marine soil deposits. From the SCPTu waveform data obtained from the testing sites, the first arrival times of shear waves and the corresponding time differences with depth were determined using the cross-over method, and the shear wave velocity $(V_S)$ profiles with depth were derived based on the refracted ray path method based on Snell's law. Comparing the determined $V_S$ profile with the cone tip resistance $(q_t)$ profile, both trends of profiles with depth were similar. For the application of the conventional CPTu to earthquake engineering practices, the correlations between $V_S$ and CPTu data were deduced based on the SCPTu results. For the empirical evaluation of $V_S$ for all soils together with clays and sands which are classified unambiguously in this study by the soil behavior type classification index $(I_C)$, the authors suggested the $V_S-CPTu$ data correlations expressed as a function of four parameters, $q_t,\;f_s,\;\sigma'_{v0}$ and $B_q$, determined by multiple statistical regression modeling. Despite the incompatible strain levels of the downhole seismic test during SCPTu and the conventional CPTu, it is shown that the $V_S-CPTu$ data correlations for all soils, clays and sands suggested in this study is applicable to the preliminary estimation of $V_S$ for the soil deposits at a part in Korea and is more reliable than the previous correlations proposed by other researchers.

A series of CIDC triaxial tests and cone penetration tests in calibration chamber were performed to investigate the relationship between state parameter and normalized cone resistance far dredged Busan sand. From the results of the triaxial tests, the critical state line of Busan sand was established, and the critical state parameters found to be $M=1.39(\phi_{cs}=34^{\circ}),\;\Gamma=1.07$ and $\lambda=0.068$. By analyzing the state parameters and corresponding cone resistances for calibration chamber specimens, the relationship between normalized cone resistance and state parameter for Busan sand was defined as $(q_c-p)/p'=27.6\exp(-10.9\Psi)$. This relationship was also shown to be independent of the stress history. From the comparison of the slope of the normalized cone resistance, m, and the normalized cone resistance at $\Psi=0$, $\kappa$, with those of various sandy soils from over the world, the relationship of m and $\kappa$ with $\lambda_{ss}$ of Busan sand was concluded to show a good agreement with the result published previously, while Busan sand had the largest $\kappa$ among the soils with similar $\lambda_{ss}$ values.

A pressuremeter is an expandable tube which is placed in the soil, and then expanded under controlled condition against the soil. From this test a pressure expansion curve of the soil can be obtained. However soil disturbance during the test has significant influence on the results of tests. A general governing equation for pressuremeter test can be theoretically derived on the basis of the hyperbolic soil model and the cavity expansion theory. The curve fitting technique was used to establish the pressure-strain curve without disturbance of soil during testing. This interpretation makes use of both the loading and unloading portions of the test. An interpretation methodology is described and illustrated with pressuremeter test data carried out in the weathered granitic soil to estimate initial shear modulus. Standard penetration test is a very common site investigation technique in Korea. Therefore the blow counts of standard penetration test are discussed by comparing them with initial shear modulus.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 높은 효율과 낮은 제조비용, 높은 신뢰성으로 인해 박막 태양전지 중 가장 각광받고 있다. 특히 유리기판 대신 가볍고 유연한 철강소재나 플라스틱 소재를 이용하여 발전분야 외에 건물일체형, 수송용, 휴대용등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능하다. 이러한 유연 기판을 이용한 CIGS 태양전지의 개발을 위해서는 기판의 특성에 따른 다양한 공정개발이 선행되어야 한다. Poly-imide와 같은 유연기판은 공정온도가 $400^{\circ}C$이하로 낮고 기판이 매우 얇아 기존 Mo 공정을 개선하여야한다. 이러한 유연기판의 특성을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 기존 bi-layer Mo의 bottom layer의 두께를 조절하여 박막의 strain을 조절하였다. 유연기판으로는 SKC KOLON에서 제조된 GL type의 기판을 사용하였다. 기판의 두께는 50um이다. 먼저 Mo의 bottom layer 두께 비율을 기존 12.5%에서 50%로 증가 시켰으며 전체 박막의 두께 역시 900nm에서 500nm로 두께를 감소시키며 실험을 실시하였다. 그 후 흡수층은 Co-Evaporation 방법을 이용하여 제조하였으며 이때 공정온도는 기존 공정온도에서 450, $400^{\circ}C$로 낮추어 흡수층을 제조하였다. 소자 제조 후 초기 Mo의 strain 개선과 저온공정이 적용되지 않은 경우 4.4%에서 공정 최적화 후 13%로 효율이 증가하였다. 제조된 흡수층은 SEM, XRF, XRD등을 이용하여 분석하였으며 그 외 일반적인 방법을 이용하여 Mo, CdS, TCO, Al grid를 제조하였다. AR 코팅은 제외 하였으며 제조된 소자는 솔라 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 효율 특성 분석을 실시하였으며 Q.E. 분석을 실시하였다.
