노출 암반과 시추 코어를 특성화하고, 터널, 공동 및 광산 갱도에서 지보 및 보강 대책을 추정하기 위해 RMR 및 Q 분류법이 기술자들에 의해 널리 사용되어왔다. 사면에서의 암반분류는 SMR이 많이 사용되었지만 Q-Slope가 2015년부터 사면에 도입되었다. 지난 10년간, Q-slope라 불리는 수정된 Q시스템이 노천광산의 벤치, 도로사면 사면에 적용하기 위해 많은 저자들에 의해 시험되었다. 이 시험들을 통하여 Q-slope 값과 장기 안정 및 무지보 사면 경사각 사이에 간단한 상관관계가 있음이 나타내어 왔다. 터널이나 지하공간에서 RMR과 Q를 병용하면서 비교를 통해 상호보완 해왔던 것과 마찬가지로 사면에서도 SMR과 병행하여 Q-Slope를 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 국내에서 발표사례가 없는 Q-Slope의 사용방법과 인도네시아 Pasir 노천석탄광의 적용 예를 소개하고자 한다.

발파굴착을 수행하는 터널시공 현장에서, 발파진동이 반복적으로 작용할 경우 인근 보안물건에 손상을 입힐 수 있으며, 이러한 발파진동을 저감시킬 수 있는 방법으로는 전자뇌관의 사용, 분산장약, 심발공법의 변경 등이 고려될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 심발공법에 따른 발파진동 저감효과를 분석하고자, 3차원 유한차분법 프로그램인 FLAC3D를 이용하여 발파공, 지연시차, 장약량 등을 수치모델에 반영하고, 발파공별로 동하중을 적용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 심발공법은 터널 시공현장에서 많이 사용되고 있는 V-cut 공법 및 다단평행의 심발공법을 적용하였으며, 실제 터널 시공현장에서 시험발파를 수행하여 현장의 발파진동 계측자료와 수치해석의 진동속도를 비교하였다. 수치해석과 시험발파의 발파진동은 매우 유사한 경향을 나타낸 것으로 분석되었다.

단계별 손상에 따른 취성재료의 동적손상메커니즘을 파악하고자 국내암석을 대상으로 스플릿 홉킨슨 압력바 시스템을 이용한 단계적 충격하중실험을 수행하였다. 실험시료 내 동적손상을 평가하기 위하여 고해상도 X-ray 단층촬영 시스템을 적용하였다. 그 결과 낮은 충격하중에서는 시료 내 전반적으로 축방향 균열 즉 수직균열이 발생하지만, 충격속도가 증가함에 따라 시료와 입사바 또는 전달바와의 접촉면에 구속효과가 발생하여 입사바와의 접촉면 중심부에 균열이 사라지는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 구속력을 적게 받는 시료의 원주표면 부근에서는 박리균열을 보였다.

Hollow center cracked disc (HCCD) in Brazilian test was modelled numerically to study the crack propagation in the pre-cracked disc. The pre-existing edge cracks in the disc models were considered to investigate the crack propagation and coalescence paths within the modelled samples. The effect of particle size on the hollow center cracked disc (HCCD) in Brazilian test were considered too. The results shows that Failure pattern is constant by increasing the ball diameter. Tensile cracks are dominant mode of failure. These crack initiates from notch tip, propagate parallel to loading axis and coalescence with upper model boundary. Number of cracks increase by decreasing the ball diameter. Also, tensile fracture toughness was decreased with increasing the particle size. In this research, it is tried to improve the understanding of the crack propagation and crack coalescence phenomena in brittle materials which is of paramount importance in the stability analyses of rock and concrete structures, such as the underground openings, rock slopes and tunnel construction.

A particle image velocimetry (PlV) technique has been applied to measure the quantitative flow field characteristics behind a road vehicle with/without an air spoiler attached on its trunk and to estimate its effect on the wake. A vehicle model scaled in the ratio of 1/43 is set up in the mid-section of a closed-loop water tunnel. The Reynolds number based on the vehicle length is $10^5$. To investigate the three-dimensional structure of the recirculation zone and vortices, measurements are carried out on the planes both parallel and perpendicular to the free stream, respectively. The results show significant differences in the recirculation region and the vorticity distributions according to the existence of the air spoiler. The focus and the saddle point, appearing just behind the air spoiler, are disposed differently along the spanwise direction. Regarding the streamwise vortices, the air spoiler produces large wing tip vortices. They have opposite rotational directions to C-pillar vortices which are commonly observed in case that the air spoiler is absent. The wing tip vortices generate the down-force and as a result, they can make the vehicle more stable in driving.

The deformation behaviors under uniaxial compressive cyclic loading were investigated for fresh rocks and freeze-thaw cycled samples. The Pocheon granite which is one of the most popular building stone in Korea was selected for tests. 0.5 Hz and 50% of dynamic strength were used as test conditions for frequency and fatigue span, respectively. For freezethaw procedure, sample were frozen for 3 hours under the temperature of -2$0^{\circ}C$ and then followed 3 hours thawing under the temperature of +2$0^{\circ}C$. Twenty seven samples were used as untreated and seventy three for freeze-thaw samples. No failure occurred up to 15000 cycles at the stress level of 60% of dynamic strength, indicating that the lowest strees level for fatigue failure may be around 60% of dynamic strength. Permanent strain and damping capacity curves show that there were three stages when rock behaves like under creep. Young's moduli were increased and Possion's ratios were decreased with the increase of the number of cycles. Possion's ratios varied more rapidly than Young's moduli did with the increase of the number of cycles. This may represent that most microcracks developed by fatigue stress are parallel to the axis of loading. The deformation behavior of freeze-thaw cycled samples were almost the same as that of untreated samples. However, the result of freeze-thaw cycled samples showed lower regression constant, indicating that the physical durability of rock is much lowered because of cyclic temperature variation.

비교적 균질한 3가지 화강암이 암석의 미세구조적 특성과 파괴인성 사이의 관계를 조사하기 위하여 연구되었다. 광학 현미경 관찰로 분석된 광물입자의 장축과 미세균열의 방위에 의하여 파괴인성 및 초음파 속도의 변화를 보였다. 가장 작은 값을 나타내는 파괴인성은 인장응력 방향과 수직하게 발달된 광물입자의 장축 및 미세균열의 방향이 주결에 일치할 때로서 파괴가 연약면인 광물입자의 장축이나 미세균열의 우세방향에 평행하게 전달될 때이다. SR 시편으로 측정된 파괴인성값은 1.63~2.62 MPa $m^{0.5}$의 변화를 보이며, 그 값들은 광물입자의 평균크기 및 미세균열의 평균길이와 관련된다.

Three points bending flexural test was modeled numerically to study the crack propagation in the pre-cracked beams. The pre-existing edge cracks in the beam models were considered to investigate the crack propagation and coalescence paths within the modeled samples. The effects of particle size on the single edge-notched round bar in bending test were considered too. The results show that Failure pattern is constant by increasing the ball diameter. Tensile cracks are dominant mode of failure. These crack initiates from notch tip, propagate parallel to loading axis and coalescence with upper model boundary. Number of cracks increase by decreasing the ball diameter. Also, tensile fracture toughness was decreased with increasing the particle size. In the present study, the influences of particles sizes on the cracks propagations and coalescences in the brittle materials such as rocks and concretes are numerically analyzed by using a three dimensional particle flow code (PFC3D). These analyses improve the understanding of the stability of rocks and concretes structures such as rock slopes, tunnel constructions and underground openings.

Purpose: Weeds cause significant losses in agricultural production. In this study, we investigated the effect of microwaves on the germination rates of cress and arugula seeds to determine whether microwaves could be developed as an effective alternative to conventional chemical-based herbicides. Methods: Seeds were planted at equal depths (8-10 mm) in a soil-turf mixture, and seeds were exposed to microwaves for 126 s, 70 s, and 50 s in a device constructed specifically for this study. A microwave tunnel was built using a variable speed conveyor belt and 4 magnetrons with a combined output power of 2.8 kW. Seeds that were not exposed to microwaves were germinated with regulated irrigation, temperature, and humidity controls in parallel with the treated seeds, and the germination rates were compared among the treatment groups. Results: We found that the exposure of cress and arugula seeds to microwaves for 126 s inhibited germination close to 100%. Cress seeds treated with microwaves for 50 s showed 95% germination compared to 65% germination of the untreated cress seeds. Conclusions: We predict that the thermal effect of microwave energy affects the germination ratio and germination rate of seeds.

A number of passive aerodynamic drag reduction methods were applied separately and then in different combinations on an intercity bus model, through wind tunnel studies on a 1:20 scale model of a Mercedes Benz Tourismo 15 RHD intercity bus. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling was also conducted in parallel to assist with flow visualisation. The commercial CFD package $CFX^{TM}$ was used. It has been found that dramatic reductions in coefficient of drag ($C_D$) of up to 70% can be achieved on the model using tapered and rounded top and side leading edges, and a truncated rear boat-tail. The curved front section allows the airflow to adhere to the bus surfaces for the full length of the vehicle, while the boat-tails reduce the size of the low pressure region at the base of the bus and more importantly, additional pressure recovery occurs and the base pressures rise, reducing drag. It is found that the CFD results show remarkable agreement with experimental results, both in the magnitude of the force coefficients as well as in their trends. An analysis shows that such a reduction in aerodynamic drag could lead to a significant 28% reduction in fuel consumption for a typical bus on intercity or interstate operation. This could translate to a massive dollar savings as well as significant emissions reductions across a fleet. On road tests are recommended.
