Structures built in the coastal area often cause unexpectedly severe shoreline change on the adjacent beaches. Therefore, beach evolution is one of the most important problem in the coastal engineering. Beach evolution in the coastal area consisted of wave transform model and sediment transport model. Ebersoale's elliptic mild slope equation which considered the effect of combind wave refraction and perline and Dean's one line theory for the sediment transport model were used in this study. Kwangan beach was selected as study area and field observations were done. Numerical simulation for beach evolution in the Kwangan beach was performed and shoreline change predictions were suggested as results.

This paper describes the development of a reliability-based optimum design technique for such three dimensional tubular frames as off shore structures. The objective function is formulated for the structural weight. Constraints that probability of failure for the critical sections does not exceed the allowable probability of failure are set up. In the evaluation of the probability of failure, fatigue as well as buckling and plasticity failure are taken into account and the mean-value first-order second-moment method(MVFOSM) is applied for its calculation. In order to reduce the computing time required for the repeated structural analysis in the optimization process, reanalysis method is also applied. Application to two and three dimensional simple frame structures is performed. The influence of material properties, external forces, allowable failure probabilities and interaction between external forces on the optimum design is investigated.

해양구조물의 원통조인트에 대한 피로 수명 산출이 전통적으로 실험적 방법에만 의존해 왔음은,원통조인트의 구조가 복잡하여 용접부위 균열의 응력확대 계수 계산이 거의 불가능 했든 것이 주 원인이었다. 최근에 유한요소 3차원 모델을 이용한 계산방법이 개발되어 심히 구조적으로 복잡한 표면 균열의 응력확대계수 산출이 용이하게 되었다. 해양 구조물의 원통조인트에 대한 피로 수명 산출법을 개발하기 위한 연속되는 3부작의 제1부로서 본 논문은 X형 원통 조인트 용접주위 표면 균열의 응력확대 계수 거동을 분석하고 있다. 분석결과를 이용하여 응력확대계수를 엄격한 방법에 의해 계산하였다. 계산된 응력확대계수를 구조적인 관점에서 해석하고 있다.

An Articulated tower is one of the compliant offshore structures connected to the sea-bed through a universal joint which is the most vulnerable location of the tower that sustains the randomly fluctuating shear stresses. The time history response of the bottom hinge shear is obtained and presented in the spectral form. The fatigue and fracture reliability assessment of the tower joint against randomly varying shear stresses have been carried out. Non-linear limit state functions are derived in terms of important random variables using S-N curve and fracture mechanics approaches. Advanced First Order Reliability Method is used for reliability assessment. Sensitivity analysis shows the influence of various variables on the hinge safety. Fatigue life estimation has been made using probabilistic approach.

Wind energy is created in mega-sized wind farms situated kilometers off shore. In fact, two possibilities are considered for the transmission system between the offshore wind farm and the onshore grid: high-voltage direct current and high-voltage alternating current. From this point of view, the current paper aims to compare both systems for a 2 GW wind farm situated 80 km from the Point of Common Coupling on an economic basis using a discounted cash flow analysis. A tool is developed in Microsoft Excel to allow for quick insight in the variation of input parameters.

In the offshore crane system, the requirements on the operating safety are extremely high due to many external factors. Rope extension is one of the factors producing vertical vibration of load. In this study, the load is carried by the motor-winch actuator control and the rope is modeled as a mass-damper-spring system. To control the load position and suppress the vertical vibration of the load, a control system based on input-output linearization method is proposed. By the simulation and experiment results with pilot crane model, the effectiveness of proposed control method is evaluated and verified.

Satellite IKONOS images are one of important remote sensing data sources as today because of their very high spatial resolution. Their detections for islands and offshore oceanic features with multi-dimension and multi-scales information, specially some small islands, are of great potential. Their application abilities in islands and offshore detections are addressed at the first of the paper. And image processing technologies and the information extracting methodologies are described. Some results on remote sensing of the islands and their nearby object features are shown in details. Discussions and conclusions are carried out simply at the final.

In this study, we applied the teleseismic receiver function technique to determine the crustal thicknesses and ratios for 31 broadband stations of the Korean Peninsula and map out the lateral variation of Moho depth in the Peninsula. The estimated depths to Moho range from 26 to 35 km except for an island station ULL (17 km). The Moho is turned out to be deeper in the south-western part of the Peninsula and western Gyeongsang basin, and shallower in the off-shore region close to East Sea (Sea of Japan). The ratio varies from 1.69 to 1.89 with the average of 1.77, which is close to global average (1.78) in the crust.

Large-scale offshore wind power is emerging as a viable solution to achieve carbon neutrality and solve climate change. As power generation complexes require ample space for construction, they create conflicts with residents near the construction site. To resolve the issue with residents, Korea, along with other countries, has developed policies that focus on influencing public perception. However, as the contents of such policies changed several times in a short period in Korea, they were differently applied depending on the timing of the project. This study examines how Korean offshore wind power site development policies, particularly the ones focusing on swaying public perception, were applied differently by regions.

The cold water event near Gampo-Ulgi coast in summers between 1987 and 1994 are studied using sea surface temperature records at the coastal stations, ocean winds measured by SSM/I and AVHRR SST images. The response time of the cold water events by upwelling is less than two days and surface cold water expands up to the Ulleung Island. An analysis of 61 upwelling favorable winds indicates that the surface water temperature drops more than $1^{\circ}C\;in\;80\%$ of the south-westerly wind events. The linear correlation coefficient between wind impulses and the maximum temperature drops is good (0.6). It is found that the major cause of the cold water events is the along-shore wind in summer. The bottom topography and off-shore direction of the East Korean Warm Current by the potential vorticity conservation near Gampo coast also contribute the formation of the cold water along the southeast coast of Korea.
