Determination of design parameters of composite ground including colluvial soil layer is far difficult because the maximum particle size of such a soil is remarkably large and particle distribution may vary from area to area. The stress-strain behavior of colluvial soils is in fact dependent upon the engineering characteristics at the boundary between coarse and fine materials. However, strength parameters are in general determined based on the characteristics of fine material, which causes an underestimation of such parameters. In this study, strength parameters of colluvial soil are evaluated by means of BIMROCK model curve. In addition, limit equilibrium analysis is carried out to verify the rational shear strength evaluation.

This study was intended to estimate the efficiency of inducing fiber arrangement in UHPCC (Ultra High Performance Cementitious Composites). For the purpose, UHPCC members produced by several different placing methods according to flow characteristics were prepared; flexural behaviors were compared and correlation between the flexural behavior and the characteristics of fiber arrangement was investigated. Test results showed that placing method for inducing specific fiber arrangement had a considerable influence on the flexural performance. The standard specimen in which fibers are induced to be directed parallel to the principle tensile direction presented higher flexural tensile strength but lower variation. Therefore it should be considered that the flexural tensile strength actually developed in UHPCC member may be highly different and in lager variation. The qualitative variation of fiber arrangement according to the flow of UHPCC was also predicted considering the flow pattern and the boundary effect; the prediction provided good explanation to the difference in the flexural behavior according to the induced flow.

Past few years have seen the growing importance of micro shock tubes in various engineering applications like micro combution, micro propulsion, particle delivery systems. But in order to efficiently apply Micro Shock Tube to such areas require the detailed knowledge of shock characteristics and flow field inside a micro shock tube. Due to many factors such as boundary layer, low Reynolds number and high Knudsen number shock propagation inside micro shock tubes will be quite different from that of the well established macro shock tubes. In the present study, experimental studies were carried out on micro shock tubes of two diameters to investigate flow characteristics and shock propagation. Pressure values were measured at different locations inside the driven section. From the experimental values other parameters like shock velocity, shock strength were found and shock wave diagram was constructed.

The purpose of this paper is to provide basic data for development of Korean teaching programs for immigrant women from multicultural families through the acoustic analysis of their prosodic phrasing and intonation pattern. The results showed that immigrant women showed some differences in most of the prosodic characteristics from a Korean women's group: Immigrant women realized the first word of a sentence in an intonational phrase while Korean women did in an accentual phrase. They also haven't yet correctly learned the tone type of the first of an accentual phrase which differs depending on the type of its first segment yet. As a result, they showed many diverse intonation patterns compared to Korean women. Furthermore, the immigrant women's groups showed some differences between them in a few prosodic characteristics. Philippine women, whose residence duration in Korea is relatively longer than that of Vietnamese women, were more similar to Korean women: Vietnamese women read a sentence with a larger number of intonational phrases than Philippine women did. And they realized sentence-final boundary tone of a yes-no question not only in 'H%' but also in 'HL%' while, like Korean women, Philippine women did only in 'H%'.

In this research, the changes of spaces on Namsan-Park and of the meaning of the park from the late 1900s through the early 1908s are analyzed, and the results are provided as follows. To begin with, inserting a concept of park to Namsan provided people with limitation in understanding definition of park, which indicated finite and constrained space, so that it distracted people from using spaces on Namsan. At that time, since the park was considered as one of key factors to establish Modern city, it was distinguished to the urban structure which had existed. After then, Joseon shrine, settled in Hanyang-Park, absorbed in functions of the park, so that the term of Hanyang-Park meant an area around the shrine or a boundary of the space. In addition, the particularity of Joseon shrine sometimes discouraged people from using the park spaces as well as spaces on the shrine, which led to decline the publicity of the park. However, Joseon shrine was correlated and planned with infrastructures of the city, Kyeongsung, not only physically but also visually in that Joseon shrine played role in one of components in Kyeongsung performed as an entertaining city such as a theme park. Lastly, Seoul is no longer subordinated and dependent city but has dramatically changed as a prominent city after regaining of independence in 1945. This indicates that the entertaining function of the old city was dismantled or reduced or transferred to public spaces, especially Namsan-Park. Consequently Namsan-Park has diverse and complex characteristics like traits of Kyeongsung, playing a pivotal role in providing cultural spaces, and its spatial organization is divided and planned based on various facilities and buildings on the park. This organization has a negative effect on the city and the park by decreasing in connectivity between them.

The heat transfer and flow characteristics of gas turbine blade tip were investigated in this paper by using the conjugate heat transfer analysis. The rotor inlet boundary condition profile which was taken from the first stage nozzle outlet was used to analyse. The profile contained the velocity and temperature information. This study presents the influence of tip clearance about aerodynamic loss, heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness with the squealer tip designed blade model which tip clearance variation range from 1% to 2.5% of span. Results showed that the aerodynamic loss and the heat transfer coefficient were increased when the tip clearance was increased. Especially when the tip clearance was 2% of the span, the average heat transfer coefficient on the tip region was increased obviously. The film cooling effectiveness of tip region was increasing with decreasing of the tip clearance. There was high film cooling effectiveness at cavity and near tip hole region.

A numerical study t predict the characteristics on transient operation of the heat pipe cooling system with multiple heaters for electronic system has been performed. The heat pipe cooling system of 45 cm length and 16 mm diameter was composed of evaporator section with four heaters which simulate electronic components, insulated transport section, and condenser section with a conductor which was cooled under the constant heat flux boundary condition. Two test cases were investigated in present study; Case 1 indicated that the 1st and 2nd heaters among four heaters were heated off, while the 3rd and the 4th heaters were heated on. Case 2 was the inverse situation switched from heating locations of Case 1. Case 3 indicated that the 1st and 4th heaters among four heaters were heated off, while the 2nd and 3rd heaters were heated on. The results showed that the transient time to reach the steady state is shorter for Case 1 than for Case 2. Especially, the maximum temperature among the heaters which simulate electronic components during switching operation is relatively small compared to the maximum allowable operating temperature in electronic system. It is concluded that the heat pipe cooling system in present study operate with the good thermal reliability even for sudden switching situation of the heaters.

Characteristics of twin spray ejected from two swirl spray nozzles were studied experimentally. By using a patternator for measuring volumetric flux of drop flow at various locations inside the spray, variation of the twin spray pattern along the axial direction was studied with changing the injection pressure and the distance between the nozzles. The general findings from the experiments are as follows: (i) as axial distance from the nozzles increases, the spray pattern in x-z plane which contains both nozzles changes significantly. On the other hand the spray pattern in y-z plane which passes the midpoint between two nozzles remains almost unchanged at outer region as axial distance and injection pressure vary; (ii) at the downstream of the twin spray with spray interaction, the maximum volumetric flux in y-z plane (q$_{max}$)$_{y}$, has tendency to become larger than that of x-z plane (q$_{max}$)$_{x}$, due to a characteristic(hollow cone shape) of the constituting swirl sprays, and this trend is pronounced at higher injection pressure since the cross-section of each single spray remains hollow at the longer axial distance from each nozzle with higher injection pressure; (iii) at a certain axial distance from the nozzles, the cross-sectional shape of the boundary of the twin spray tends to be circular similar to that of the single spray with twice the flow-rate, and that distance is not proportional to the distance between two nozzles; (iv) though there are some collisions between droplets from each nozzles of twin spray, in present experimental range, the flow pattern of gas including the entrainment effect plays the key role in spray interaction.n.ion.n.

The surface characteristics of Zachery-treated turquoise stones have been studied in detail with a comparison of natural and plastic-impregnated turquoise. The SEM-EDS analysis exhibited that Zachery-treated turquoise was characterized by the uniform distribution of potassium element through the specimen and did not show the sharp crystalline $SiO_2$ facet and boundary phase which are common in natural ore. The potassium element shown in the Zachery-treated turquoise seemed to be occurred during the treatment process for the improvement of durability. The bar-shaped crystals observed in the pore was found to be a feature of Zachery treated turquoise and are expected to influence on their stability and durability, while the pore sizes in turquoise stones depends on the parameter of the treatment procedure.
