Study on characteristics of the molluscan community structure and relationship between the structure and environmental variables in the abyssal plain of the East Sea was carried out for 5 years, starting from 2009 until the end of 2015 except 2010 and 2011. The water depth at the study site is approximately 1,600 m at minimum, and maximum depth of 2,000 m and a total of 16 molluscan species including Aplacophora, Gastropoda and Bivalvia were observed. Species with the highest biomass was Thyasira tokunagai, followed by Yoldiella philippiana which were observed at 9 sampling stations every year. Among 4 sampling stations having various depths (1,600/ 1,700/ 1,800/ 2,000 m), the highest diversity for species was observed at water depths of 1,600 m and 1,700 m, but found the lowest at 1,800 m. Both abundance and biomass were found to be negative correlations with water depth (p < 0.05), however, showed a positive correlation with the concentrations of organic matters (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). However, it is interesting to note that both Thyasira tokunagai (biomass, 82.6%; abundance, 44.1%) and Yoldiella philippiana (biomass, 15.9%; abundance, 4.7%) did not show distinctive correlations with water depth as well as concentrations of organic matters (p > 0.05). Therefore, it could be concluded that community structure of both Thyasira tokunagai and Yoldiella philippiana did not appear to be affected by water depth and concentrations of organic matters but geographical characteristics.

The government abolished the existing method to calculate the construction price by the quantity take-off and pricing. It has introduced a new estimating system which uses the actual cost data on the basis of actual contract unit price. However, in the case of the current method to calculate the estimate price of BTL educational facilities, it is difficult to prepare an accurate ground for calculating unit prices due to a lack of standardized work breakdown structure (WBS) and guidelines for the detailed bidding documents. Thus, this research aims to establish WBS using the actual construction price on the basis of the actual bidding documents for the previous construction of BTL educational facilities. This specific WBS can be differentiated from the general WBS which is not suited for construction of the educational facility. It makes possible to build the construction information classification system and it helps to systemize the maintenance and repair cost items.

This study examines the restoration project of Sokkuram, and introduces its preliminary plans by the architect Pai Ki Hyung. The restoration project started in 1958 with an inquiry committee of the restoration project, and was completed in 1964. Despite having undergone extensive repair work under Japanese supervision from 1913 and 1923, the repair work caused water leakages inside Sokkuram, and regular cleaning work that began in 1933 caused a lot of damage to the sculpture. In result of the surveys, the top priority of this project was to protect the sculptures inside Sokkuram by improving the environment of the cave. At that time, the architect Mr. Pai participated as a head of the fourth field surveyors to plan the restoration project and to design the preliminary plans. He proposed the installation of a double dome structure to prevent further water leakages on the concrete addition that was built up around the grotto by the Japanese. However, in 1961, the Cultural Heritage Committee of Korea examined the plans of Mr. Pai and immediately rejected them. The factors of the rejection were the omitting of entrance design, system of new double dome structure that presses the existing structure, and these changes that had to be made outside of the drainage plans. The repair work of Sokkuram began in 1961, and the main construction was building double dome structure and entrance installation. In this we realize that Mr. Pai's double dome structure plans were very important key concept of this project. This study attempts to demonstrate the double dome installations that Mr. Pai initially proposed, which ultimately remains as emblematic factors of Sokkuram's legacy.

The direct shear test is commonly used to evaluate the shear behavior of frozen soil-structure interfaces under normal stress. However, failure criteria, such as the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, are needed to obtain the unconfined shear strength. Hence, the punch shear test, which is usually used to estimate the shear strength of rocks without confinement, was examined in this study to directly determine the adfreezing strength. It is measured as the shear strength of the frozen soil-structure interface under unconfined conditions. Different soils of silica sand, field sand, and field clay were prepared inside the steel and concrete ring structures. Soil and ring structures were frozen at the target temperature for more than 24 h. A punch shear test was then conducted. The test results show that the adfreezing strength increased with a decrease in the target temperature and increase in the initial water content, owing to the increase in ice content. The adfreezing strength of field clay was the smallest when compared with the other soil specimens because of the large amount of unfrozen water content. The field sand with the larger normalized roughness showed greater adfreezing strength than the silica sand with a lower normalized roughness. From the experiment and analysis, the applicability of the punch shear test was examined to measure the adfreezing strength of the frozen soil-structure interface. To find a proper sample dimension, supplementary experiments or numerical analysis will be needed in further research.

This study performed the seismic response analysis of an LNG storage tank supported by a disconnected piled raft foundation (DPRF) with a load transfer platform (LTP). For this purpose, a precise analytical model with simultaneous consideration of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) was used. The effect of the LTP characteristics (thickness, stiffness) of the DPRF system on the seismic response of the superstructure (inner and outer tanks) and piles was analyzed. The analytical results were compared with the response of the piled raft foundation (PRF) system. The following conclusions can be drawn from the numerical results: (1) The DPRF system has a smaller bending moment and axial force at the head of the pile than the PRF system, even if the thickness and stiffness of the LTP change; (2) The DPRF system has a slight stiffness of the LTP and the superstructure member force can increase with increasing thickness. This is because as the stiffness of the LTP decreases and the thickness increases, the natural frequency of the LTP becomes closer to the natural frequency of the superstructure, which may affect the response of the superstructure. Therefore, when applying the DPRF system, it is recommended that the sensitivity analysis of the seismic response to the thickness and stiffness of the LTP must be performed.

This paper investigates the effects of tunnelling-induced ground movements on nearby structures, considering soil-structure interactions of different ground (loose sand, dense sand, soft clay, stiff clay) and construction conditions (ground loss). The response of four-story block structures, which are subjected to tunnelling-induced ground movements, has been investigated in different ground and construction conditions (ground loss) using numerical analysis. The structures for numerical analysis has been modelled using Discrete Element Method (DEM) to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The response of four-story block structures has been investigated with a ground movement magnitude and compared in terms of ground and construction conditions (ground loss) considering the magnitude of deformations and cracks in structures. In addition, the damage levels, which are possibly induced in structures, has been provided in terms of ground and construction conditions (ground loss) using the state of strain damage estimation criterion (Son and Cording, 2005). The results of this study will provide a background for better understandings for controlling and minimizing building damage on nearby structures due to tunnelling-induced ground movements.

This study examined the magnitude and distribution of the earth pressure on the support system in a jointed rock mass by considering different joint shear strength, rock type, and joint inclination angle. The study particularly focused on the effect of joint cohesive strength for a certain condition. Based on a physical model test (Son and Park, 2014), extended parametric studies were conducted considering rock-structure interactions based on the discrete element method, which can consider the rock and joint characteristics of rock mass. The results showed the earth pressure was strongly affected by the joint cohesive strength as well as the rock type and joint inclination angle. The study indicated that the effect of joint cohesive strength was particularly significant when a rock mass was under the condition of joint sliding. This paper investigates the magnitude of joint cohesive strength to prevent a joint sliding for each different condition. The test results were also compared with Peck's earth pressure, which has been frequently used for soil ground. The comparison indicated that the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass can be significantly different from that in soil ground. This study is expected to provide a better understanding of the earth pressure on the support system in a jointed rock mass.

Cette étude a pour but d'analyser la symétrie des œuvres littéraires de Samuel Beckett autour de son roman Murphy (1938) et de sa pièce de théâtre En attendant Godot (1952). Selon Katharine Wort, « tout est symétrique et tend ô arriver en double » dans la structure d'En attendant Godot. En effet, la symétrie est omniprésente dans l'univers littéraire de Beckett non seulement sur le plan des structures textuelles mais aussi sur le plan du langage et du comportement des personnages. Beckett a dit : « si vous voulez trouver les origines d'En attendant Godot, regardez Murphy. » Murphy est un personnage éponyme qui « se sentait fendu en deux, d'un côté un corps, de l'autre côté un esprit ». Étant donné que Murphy a reçu de l'influence du philosophe « post-cartésien » Arnold Geulincx, on vise d'abord ô trouver des implications de sa théorie occasionnaliste et ensuite ô vérifier la relation entre la structure symétrique du texte et sa philosophie. Enfin autour d'En attendant Godot, on vise ô confirmer des effets engendrés par la symétrie des deux actes et du mime des deux protagonistes Estragon et Vladimir en recourant ô leurs chapeaux. Beckett a mis dans sa tragicomédie des magnifiques scènes symétriques qui créent un effet grotesque. La symétrie du texte beckettien commence par le dédoublement entre le corps et l'esprit (Murphy) ou entre l'ego et l'alter ego (Estragon et Vladimir). Et elle représente d'un côté le cycle, la répétition, l'éternité et de l'autre côté le système fermé, la stagnation de la situation et du temps. Elle reflète donc la conscience du monde de Beckett. Dans le roman Murphy, il y a un jeu d'échec entre Murphy et M. Endon, un « petit gaga » de la Maison Madeleine de Miséricorde Mentale (M.M.M.M). M. Endon qui s'était replié sur lui-même a joué aux échecs pour obtenir sans relâche une position symétrique. Murphy n'a pu être perçu par M. Endon. Et Murphy qui imitait dans un premier temps les symétries successives de M. Endon a fini par abandonner la partie d'échecs, après avoir réalisé l'impossible imitation des coups de son adversaire : il concrétise l'axiome de Geulincx ubi nihil vales ibi nihil velis ("wherein you have no power, therein neither should you will" traduit par Beckett). Beckett était adepte du jeu d'échecs et l'échec est un de ses motifs répétitifs pour représenter l'existence limitée de l'homme. De plus Beckett considérait la scène comme un échiquier. En résultat, la symétrie du texte beckettien montre sa poétique de « form is content, content is form » et puis dans l'univers littéraire de Beckett qui écrivait en français et traduisait en anglais lui-même ou ô l'inverse jusqu'ô la fin de sa vie, incarne le mouvement « keep ! for end » que Beckett a écrit comme une sorte de testament au-dessus de son autographe du poème anglais what is the word (1989).

In this study, three types of a novel Trench IGBTs(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) are proposed. The first structure has P-collector which is isolated by $SiO_2$ layer to enhance anode-injection-efficiency and enable the device to have a low on-state voltage drop(Von). And the second structure has convex P-base region between both gates. This structure may be effective to distributes electric-field crowded to gate edge. So this structure can have higher breakdown voltage(BV) than conventional trench-type IGBT(TIGBT). The process and device simulation results show improved on-state, breakdown and switching characteristics in each structure. The first one was presented lower on state voltage drop(2.1V) than that of conventional one(2.4V). Also, second structurehas higher breakdown voltage(1220V) and faster turn off time(9ns) than that of conventional structure. Finally, the last one of the proposed structure has combined the two structure (the first one and second one). This structure has superior electric characteristics than conventional structure about forward voltage drop and blocking capability, turnoff characteristics.
