Base-isolated nuclear power plant (BI-NPP) structures are founded on expanded basemat as a flexible floating nuclear island, are still lacking the recommendation of the consideration of incoherent motion effect. The effect of incoherent earthquake motion on the seismic response of BI-NPP structure has been investigated herein. The incoherency of the ground motions is applied by using an isotropic frequency-dependent spatial correlation function to perform the conditional simulation of the reference design spectrum compatible ground motion in time domain. Time history analysis of two structural models with 486 and 5 equivalent lead plug rubber bearing (LRB) base-isolators have been done under uniform excitation and multiple point excitation. two different cases have been considered: 1) Incoherent motion generated for soft soil and 2) Incoherent motion generated for hard rock soil. The results show that the incoherent motions reduce acceleration and the lateral displacement responses and the reduction is noticeable at soft soil site and higher frequencies.

Or this study, prevailing design and construction methods of dam under various unfavorable conditions are summarized. for example, foundation treatment with large scale alluvium site or weathered rock mass, dam constructing techniques with unfavorable topographic conditions are studied for the better understanding of relating engineers. Also, zoning by using weak rocks and sand-gravel fill techniques are summed up.

Impulsive vibration velocity is monitored at the surface and the boundary surface of rocks as various impulsive forces of horizontal and vertical directions were given to rocks which had difference in uniaxial compressive strength for investigate to the vibration velocity of rocks according to the impulsive direction and the monitoring site. The vibration velocity of the boundary surface of rocks was about 2.9 times or much larger than that of the surface at the same scaled distance in the case of horizontal impulsive forces, and was above 4.2 times in the case of vertical impulsive forces. The attenuation exponents of the vibration velocity equations in the surface and the boundary surface of rocks make a vast difference with the impulsive directions, but is makes little difference in the case of the same impulsive direction. The ratio of vibration constants of the surface to the boundary surface of rocks is that square and cube root scaled equation is a range of 2.7∼3.0 and 4.9∼5.0 respectively in the case of horizontal impulsive forces, and is a range of 4.2∼5.7 and 7.7∼11.5 respectively in the case of vertical impulsive forces.

This paper presents the case studies of Tubular Roof construction Method(T.R.c.M) and Semi Shield method, which were applied to the tunnel excavation under the pre-existing railways. It was proved that T.R.c.M was an effective and safe method for the tunnel excavated in soft soil, giving little damage to the railways located a few meters above. Semi Shield was also performed successfully to bore a tunnel in soft and hard rock, minimizing the ground settlement and tilting of vulnerable fuel tanks. Site and soil conditions are also discussed, which led these relatively new methods to success. Finally, comparison of the measurement results and the design values are made to verify and improve the current design practice.

In September 2007, the collapses of slopes and landslides are happened at Jeonlanamdo due to heavy rains accompanied with Typoon "Nari". The study area is the tunnel portal slope in new road construction site. This slope consists of pyroclastic rocks and has lots of faults. Particularly, the residual soils of the slope is deteriorated with yellowish mudstone layer as a results of chemical and physical weathering. This has a variety of swelling clay minerals and might be moved easily down at the gentle terrain. The inner factor of $\bigcirc\bigcirc$tunnel portal slope's collapse is the geological weak zone, the convergent topography, the inferiority of drainage and the heavy rain act on the failure as direct trigger.

It is in general reported that construction cost in an underground storage facility is less than that of the same capacity and features in an aboveground facility. Since these costs have a derivative with respect to facility size and fridging unit, the cost of construction and fridging unit are sensitive to location of storage, items to store, and rock quality of storage site. In this paper, to analyse an economic investment point for the underground food storage relative to aboveground storage, we compared these two models which have equivalent annual cost with the total cost that consists of initial facility investment cost and annual operation cost. Based on comparison of the economic investment in the underground with aboveground storage. an economic initial investment cost has been suggested for storing the agricultural and fish products.

In this research, the cracking of tunnel concrete lining was investigated and analyzed through long-term measurement and nonlinear numerical analysis. For one year after the casting of lining, the stresses and strains were measured by the sensors installed in hard rock tunnel lining. The measurements showed that only small stresses which were less than cracking stress occurred in every survey sections regardless of sensor directions. It could be induced that the external load applied to the lining was small or ignorable. Also, it was carried out short-term numerical analysis based on such site condition as ambient temperature, the- degree of overbreak and mold staying period. Long-term numerical analysis based on creep & shrinkage and nonlinear cracking was carried out. The output showed that construction condition and ambient environments could make the lining concrete crack without external loads. The cracks formed in this process does not indicate the structural instability of the tunnel.

This paper deal with the stability evaluation and suggestion of progressive failure slope in biotite granite area of Andong. Based on geological site investigation and field test, stability analysis of slope was performed in conjunction with limit equilibrium methods and stereographic projection. Additionally, initial design and construction procedure was critically evaluated. Series of the slope stability analysis reveals the detection of local wedge and plane failure under the current slope condition. It is additionally appeared that a certain synthetic behavior of circle and plane failure exists on the right spot where the overall failure's going in progress. In order to construct more stable slope based on the suitability for the real state of the slope circumstances, this study issues a solution to eliminate the primary factors which cause the instability, by means of the grade of weathering and RMR classification of rock mass.
