Soil burial is the most widely used disposal method for infected pig carcasses, but composting has gained attention as an alternative disposal method because pig carcasses can be decomposed rapidly and safely by composting. To understand the pig carcass decomposition process in soil burial and by composting, pilot-scale test systems that simulated soil burial and composting were designed and constructed in the field. The envelope material samples were collected using special sampling devices without disturbance, and bacterial community dynamics were analyzed by high-throughput pyrosequencing for 340 days. Based on the odor gas intensity profiles, it was estimated that the active and advanced decay stages were reached earlier by composting than by soil burial. The dominant bacterial communities in the soil were aerobic and/or facultatively anaerobic gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Gelidibacter, Mucilaginibacter, and Brevundimonas. However, the dominant bacteria in the composting system were anaerobic, thermophilic, endospore-forming, and/or halophilic gram-positive bacteria such as Pelotomaculum, Lentibacillus, Clostridium, and Caldicoprobacter. Different dominant bacteria played important roles in the decomposition of pig carcasses in the soil and compost. This study provides useful comparative date for the degradation of pig carcasses in the soil burial and composting systems.

High spatio-temporal resolution hydrologic components can give important information to monitor natural disaster. The objective of this study is to create high spatial-temporal resolution gridded hydrologic components using TOPLATS distributed land surface model and evaluate their accuracy. For this, Andong dam basin is selected as study area and TOPLATS model is constructed to create hourly simulated values in every $1{\times}1km^2$ cell size. The observed inflow at Andong dam and soil moisture at Andong AWS site are collected to directly evaluate the simulated one. RMSEs of monthly simulated flow for calibration (2003~2006) and verification (2007~2009) periods show 36.87 mm and 32.41 mm, respectively. The hourly simulated soil moisture in the cell located Andong observation site for 2009 is well fitted with observed one at -50 cm. From this results, the cell based hydrologic components using TOPLATS distributed land surface model show to reasonably represent the real hydrologic condition in the field. Therefore the model driven hydrologic information can be used to analyze local water balance and monitor natural disaster caused by the severe weather.

Because of increased nonpoint source runoff potential at highland agricultural fields of Kangwon province, effective agricultural management practices are required to reduce the inflow of sediment and other nonpoint source pollutants into the water bodies. The watershed-scale model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), model has been used worldwide for developing effective watershed management. However, the SWAT model simulated sediment values are significantly affected by the number of subwatershed delineated. This result indicates that the SWAT estimated watershed characteristics from the watershed delineation process affects the soil erosion and sediment behaviors. However, most SWAT users do not spend time and efforts to analyze variations in sediment estimation due to watershed delineation with various threshold value although topography falsification affecting soil erosion process can be caused with watershed delineation processes. The SWAT model estimates the field slope length of Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU) based on average slope of subwatershed within the watershed. Thus the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch, developed by using the regression relationship between average watershed slope and field slope length, was utilized in this study to compare the simulated sediment from various watershed delineation scenarios. Four watershed delineation scenarios were made with various threshold values (700 ha, 300 ha, 100 ha, and 75 ha) and the SWAT estimated flow and sediment values were compared with and without applying the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch. With the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch applied, the simulated flow values are almost same irrespective of the number of subwatershed delineated while the simulated flow values changes to some extent without the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch applied. However when the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch applied, the simulated sediment values vary 9.7% to 29.8% with four watershed delineation scenarios, while the simulated sediment values vary 0.5% to 126.6% without SWAT ArcView GIS applied. As shown, the SWAT estimated flow and sediment values are not affected by the number of watershed delineation significant compared with the estimated flow and sediment value without applying the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch.

해상에 설치된 기초말뚝의 경우 지진의 3가지 성분 즉, 지반의 수평운도, 지반의 연직진동에 의해 발생된 상부구조물과의 피드백 (feedback)에 의한 말뚝의 연직진동, 그리고 지반의 연직진동에 의해 유발된 해진(seaquake)의 진동이 말뚝 기초의 거동에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 유발된 해진의 진동을 해저면에서 유사화된 sine 정현파 형상의 동수압으로 모델링하였다. 해진(seaquake) 작용중 약 220m 이상의 심해에 설치된 개단 말뚝의 지지력은, 지반내에 유발된 과도한 과잉 간극수압으로 인하여, 심각하게 저감도었으며, 관내토 폐쇄력도 80% 이상 감소되었다. 해진중 관내토 선단 하부에서 발생된 과도한 과잉 간극수압으로 인하여 관내토내에 과도한 상향의 침투력이 유발되어 관내토 폐색이 손상되었다. 약 220m 이하의 천해에 설치된 개단말뚝의 지지력은 해진에 의해 약 10% 감소하였으며, 관내토의 폐쇄력은 5%이하만큼 감소하였다.

The analysis of structure response and design of buried structures subjected to dynamic destructive loads have been receiving increasing interest due to recent severe damage caused by strong earthquakes and terrorist attacks. For a comprehensive design of buried structures subjected to blast loads to be conducted, the whole system behaviour including simulation of the explosion, propagation of shock waves through the soil medium, the interaction of the soil with the buried structure and the structure response needs to be simulated in a single model. Such a model will enable more realistic simulation of the fundamental physical behaviour. This paper presents a complete model simulating the whole system using the finite element package ABAQUS/Explicit. The Arbitrary Lagrange Euler Coupling formulation is used to model the explosive charge and the soil region near the explosion to eliminate the distortion of the mesh under high deformation, while the conventional finite element method is used to model the rest of the system. The elasto-plastic Drucker-Prager Cap model is used to model the soil behaviour. The explosion process is simulated using the Jones-Wilkens-Lee equation of state. The Concrete Damage Plasticity model is used to simulate the behaviour of concrete with the reinforcement considered as an elasto-plastic material. The contact interface between soil and structure is simulated using the general Mohr-Coulomb friction concept, which allows for sliding, separation and rebound between the buried structure surface and the surrounding soil. The behaviour of the whole system is evaluated using a numerical example which shows that the proposed model is capable of producing a realistic simulation of the physical system behaviour in a smooth numerical process.

A model experiment has been performed to get the heat transfer coefficient on the soil surface in the closed ecosystem. The heat flux on the soil surface was measured and the heat transfer coefficient was derived in the following two cases with 5-stepped control of inside air current speed. One case was that heat flowed from air to soil and the other case was that heat flowed from soil to air. Three dimensional CFD model has been set to simulate thermal environment in the closed ecosystem including soil layers. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model of the CFD program was chosen for turbulence model and heating wire buried in the soil layers was set as heat source option to simulate the case when the temperature of soil surface was higher than that of inside air in the closed ecosystem. Between one case that heat flowed from air to soil and the other case that heat flowed from soil to air, there were big differences in the temperature distribution of soil layers and the heat transfer coefficient of the soil surface. The increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient on each case according to the increase of inside air current speed was similar to each other and it respectively increased linearly. But the heat transfer coefficient on the case that heat flowed from soil to air was much bigger than that of the other case. The model was validated by comparing simulated values of CFD model with measured values of the model experiment. Simulated and measured temperature of inside air and soil layers, and heat transfer coefficient of the soil surface were well accorded and the range of corrected $R^2$ was 0.664 to 0.875. The developed CFD model was well simulated in parts of the temperature of inside air and soil layers, the distribution of the inside air current speed, and heat transfer coefficient of the soil surface were able to be quantitatively analyzed by using this model. Therefore, the model would be applied and used for analysis of heat transfer coefficient between air and surface in various agricultural facilities.

본 연구에서는 지표수문해석모형을 이용하여 과거 30년에 대한 남한과 북한의 토양수분을 모의하고 그 거동 차이를 분석하였다. 아울러 VIC 모형의 모의결과를 평가하기 위해 Soil Moisture CCI에서 제공하는 위성관측 토양수분 자료를 분석하였다. 모의결과와 관측자료 사이의 비교에는 CSEOF 분석을 적용하여 단순한 토양수분 값의 비교가 아닌 VIC 모형의 성능을 간접적으로 평가하는 방법을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫 째, 토양수분의 경년변동은 남한과 북한 모두 전체적으로 유사한 경향을 보였으나, 남한의 토양수분이 북한의 토양수분보다 작게는 1%에서 크게는 7%까지 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 둘 째, 월 단위 토양수분의 경우, 봄철에 해당하는 4 - 6월의 토양수분 상태는 남한과 북한에서 유사하게 나타났다. 반면, 장마철 이후 토양수분은 남한의 경우 최대 40%까지 증가하지만, 북한에서는 최대 32% 정도에 머무르는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋 째, 전체적으로 모의된 토양수분이 인공위성에서 관측된 토양수분보다 약 4% 정도 작지만, 과거 30년 동안 나타난 증가 정도는 위성관측 토양수분과 유사한 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로, 위성관측 토양수분과 VIC 모형으로 유도된 토양수분 자료에 대한 CSEOF를 비교해본 결과, 4월부터 6월까지의 토양수분은 공간적으로 서로 상당히 다른 패턴을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 7월과 10월의 경우에는 약한 유사성을 보이고 있으며, 8월과 9월은 상당히 유사한 패턴을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

When the transient current with high frequency components such as lightning surges are injected the grounding electrodes, the performance of grounding electrodes should be evaluated as grounding impedance. It is restricted to analyze the grounding impedance by measurement approach since the grounding impedance is very different with the shape and size of grounding electrodes, resistivity and relative permittivity of soil and the frequency component of the injected current. So a variety of simulation approaches have been developed. Typically, the soil resistivity measured with low frequency and relative permittivity between 1 and 80 are used for simulation of the grounding impedance. However, the resistivity and relative permittivity of soil are changed with frequency of injected current. In this paper, the frequency-dependent resistivity and relative permittivity of soil are measured and these parameters are reflected in the simulation of the grounding impedance of a ground rod. The simulated results are compared with the measured results. As a result, the simulated results with frequency-dependent soil parameters show capacitive aspect like measured results in the frequency of lower than 100[kHz] and they are more consistent with the measured results in wide frequency range.

In many circumstances, it is infeasible to simulate the daily water yield in every land use or soil type of the watershed or river basin. These situations can be simulated in“Soil and Water Assessment Tool”(SWAT) using a concept called“hydrologic response units”(HRU's) within a topographically-defined subbasin. Soil water balance, crop growth, nutrient cycling management, etc., are simulated for each HRU For the watershed of Bok-ha river, the effect of HRU's in SWAT has been studied in respect to water yield. The optimum number of HRU's was 23 based in data capacity and correlation coefficient.

Soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) was simulated based on the default parameters and a priori soil parameter estimation method in Bocheong watershed of Korea. The performance of the model was tested against the measured daily runoff data for 5 years between 1993 and 1997. The sensitivity analysis of SWAT model parameters was conducted to identify the most sensitive model parameters affecting the model output. The results of SWAT simulation indicate that the overall performance of SWAT in calculating daily runoff is reasonably acceptable. However, there is a problem in estimating the low flow components of streamflow since the low flow components simulated by SWAT are significantly different from the measured low flow. The sensitivity analysis with SWAT points out that soil related parameters are the most sensitive parameters affecting surface and ground water balance components and groundwater flow related parameters exhibit negligible sensitivity.
