That Russia is potentially great transport power becomes obvious if look to map of any route. The geographical position of the Russian Federation unequivocally specifies intended by nature the role of geobridge between the countries of Asia-Pacific Region and Europe. However, in construction engineering practice and feasibility study the construction of difficult and strategically important bridges is generally joins in wider concept of bridge crossing. The last includes not only actually the bridge(through the river, gulf, etc.), but also approaches to it, which construction in view of features of a relief and a configuration of new transport communications which have already developed and subject to construction not less difficult technically and not only economically expended, than building of the basic artificial construction.

The effects of insecticide dimilin including the technical grade(tg) and wettable power(wp-25), inhibiting the synthesis of chitin in the cuticle of insect larvae, and herbicides alachlor and atrazine on the development of shrimp caridina denticulata denticulata were investigated in various concentrations. This species is abundant in the freshwater such as river and pond. The shrimp larvae were reared at dimilin solutions(tg and wp 2), alachlor solutions, and atrazin solutions. the concentrations of dimiline were 0, 1, 5, 10 and 25 ppb dimilin solutions, and those of alachlor and atrazin were 0, 1, 5, 10 and 25ppm, respectively.mortality was high at 10 ppb when the larvae were exposed to dimilin and at 25ppm in the case of alachlor and atranzine solutions. If lethal concentration is defined as a concentration in which less than 10% of larvae to the post larval stage from hatching it can be concluded that the lethal concentration of dimilin is 5ppb, and that of alachlor and atrazin is 25 ppm.

Large earthquakes with (M_W > ~ 6) result in ground shaking, surface ruptures, and permanent deformation with displacement. The earthquakes would damage important facilities and infrastructure such as large industrial establishments, nuclear power plants, and waste disposal sites. In particular, earthquake ruptures associated with large earthquakes can affect geological and engineered barriers such as deep geological repositories that are used for storing hazardous radioactive wastes. Earthquake-driven faults and surface ruptures exhibit various fault zone structural characteristics such as direction of earthquake propagation and rupture and asymmetric displacement patterns. Therefore, estimating the respect distances and hazardous areas has been challenging. We propose that considering multiple parameters, such as fault types, distribution, scale, activity, linkage patterns, damage zones, and respect distances, enable accurate identification of the sites for deep geological repositories and important facilities. This information would enable earthquake hazard assessment and lower earthquake-resulted hazards in potential earthquake-prone areas.

In the field of maintenance of power transmission lines, drones have been used for their patrol and inspection by KEPCO since 2017. This drone technology was originally developed by KEPCO Research Institute, and now workers from four regional offices of KEPCO have directly applied this technology to the drone patrol and inspection tasks. In the drone inspection system, a drone with an optical zooming camera and a thermal camera can fly automatically along the transmission lines by the ground control system developed by KEPCO Research Institute, but its camera gimbal has been remotely controlled by a field worker. Especially the drone patrol and inspection has been mainly applied for the transmission lines in the inaccessible areas such as regions with river-crossings, sea-crossings and mountains. There are often communication disruptions between the drone and its remote controller in such extreme fields of mountain areas with many barriers. This problem may cause the camera gimbal be out of control, even though the inspection drone flies along the flight path well. In addition, interference with the reception of real-time transmitted videos makes the field worker unable to operate it. To solve these problems, we have developed the auto-tracking camera gimbal system with deep learning method. The camera gimbal can track the transmission line automatically, even when the transmitted video on a remote controller is intermittently unavailable. To show the effectiveness of our camera gimbal system, its field test results will be presented in this paper.

The noise generated by construction machinery operating at construction sites is a major cause of environmental disputes with nearby residents. To reduce construction site noise, low noise construction machinery and low noise methods are recommended to be used first. In addition, the possible noise should be predicted and preventive measures suitable for the noise source should be taken. This study analyzed the sound power level of an excavator, which is used most frequently at construction sites. The sound power level of 297 excavators sold in Korea after 2008 were analyzed and the sound power level was classified according to the type, output (kW), and production site of the excavator engine based on the measured data. As a result, the sound power level decreased by 1 dBA depending on the change in engine type and the sound power level increased by approximately 3 dB (A) when the engine output was doubled. In addition, the sound power level was low in small-sized products of less than 55 kW for overseas products and medium and small-sized products of 55 to 104 kW for domestic products.

The river water intake system composed of the filter block, without installation of weirs in a channel, was proposed. To apply it to rivers, analysis of hydraulic characteristics is needed. In this study, the hydraulic experiment on the characteristics of flowrate passing through the river water intake system was carried out. The filter block was produced using riprap and stainless steel bead at the channel bottom. The experiment was carried out under various flow conditions and the flowrate passing through the intake system was measured. As the water depth approaching the intake system became deeper, the flowrate diverting to the intake system increased. As the Froude number increased, the flowrate diverting to the intake system decreased. The same trend was shown regardless of the characteristics of a filter block in the intake system. A constant discharge coefficient was shown regardless of the Froude number but it changed according to the size of a riprap and a stainless steel bead in the filter block. It was found that the discharge coefficient increases with the 0.6 power of the material size.

The objective of this study is to propose an automatic parameter estimation scheme considering runoff components of Tank model. It estimates model parameters by Powell's automatic algorithm based on the runoff component separation of the observed hydrograph by using digital filter method. The selected study areas are the 4 main dam sites on the Han River. The simulated flows are compared with the observed flows depending on whether runoff component consideration or not. As a result, the estimated model parameters from classical Powell's method only can relatively well simulate the time variation of total runoff, but gives poor runoff component simulations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed automatic parameter estimation scheme in this study Is more reliable and objective.

This study expressed the reservoir's storage-discharge relation as a non-linear reservoir model and theoretically quantified the reservoir storage effect. Among those non-linear functions like exponential function, logarithmic function and power function considered, the exponential function of the storage-discharge relation was found to be the most valid. The non-linear reservoir model proposed was applied to the Chungju Dam and the Soyang River Dam, whose storage effects during flood were estimated to be about 23 hours and 43 hours, respectively. This result indicates that the Choongju Dam, even though its size and total storage volume are similar to those of the Soyang River Dam, does not achieve enough storage effect as its basin size and the inflow amount are much larger.

As water sources become more vulnerable to the effects of climate change such as drought and contamination, the diversification of water sources is important for securing water supply. This study examines the properties of five water sources for public supply, including river and river-bed water, dams, reservoirs, and groundwater, while ensuring that the quantities available from such sources are stable and the water itself is safe for use. This study also analyzes the power, chemical, repair and maintenance, and labor costs associated with each water source. The results demonstrate that groundwater has high potential as a water source because it is readily available (about $12.89billion\;m^3/yr$), but only a small portion of it is currently used. Analyses indicated that groundwater is the most efficient source of water to meet water demand below $1,000,000m^3/yr$, which covers 62.5% of water supply facilicities. With the implementation of groundwater dams, groundwater can become cost-efficient even for larger water demand. Additionally, the water source protection areas are the smallest for groundwater among the five water sources. In conclusion, the use of groundwater as an alternative water source is feasible becasue it is readily available, safe, cost-efficient, and requires the lowest amount of environmental regulations for the diversification of water supply sources.

하천은 지형학적으로 청?장년기에 상 중 하류부가 구별되고 유량과 하상경사의 곱으로 표현되는 유수력(stream power)에 따른 반응으로서 구간별 수리 및 하도특성이 형성된다. 산지가 국토면적의 약 70%를 차지하고 노년기 지형인 유역을 기반으로 하며, 장마 및 태풍 내습시 집중호우에 따른 홍수발생으로 말미암아 대부분 국내의 하천은 상류는 산지, 중류는 곡저평야, 하류는 충적평야를 유하함으로서 구간별로 수리 및 하도 특성이 뚜렷이 구별된다. 홍수 예방을 위한 제방 축조와 용수공급을 위한 보 등 하천 구조물이 설치되어 있으며, 하천 주변에는 배산임수의 취락형성에 따라 주거지 및 대규모 도시가 발달하면서 많은 하천교란이 유발되고 있다. 우리나라 하도 및 수리적 특성인 여울과 소 등의 미지형과 하상매몰도 등 서식환경의 특성 및 하안에 적용되고 있는 다양한 형태의 하천횡단 형상과 하도개수 등 교란 특성을 중점적으로 고려하여 하천의 물리적 특성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 평가체계를 개발하였다. 하도의 물리적 특성은 유량과 하상경사를 매개변수로 하는 유수력에 의하여 변화하므로 하천 유형을 하상경사에 따라 세그먼트 분류법을 적용하여 세그먼트 M, 세그먼트 1 및 세그먼트 2,3으로 구분하고 세그먼트별 하도 및 수리 특성, 하안 및 하천교란 영역에 대한 총 10개의 정량적 평가지표를 개발하였다. 각 지표는 5등급으로 설정되어 있으며, 평가지표의 근거는 미국(EPA) 및 독일(LAWA)의 평가지표를 바탕으로 우리나라 실정에 맞게 수정하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천분류체계에 의한 하천유형의 차이를 고려할 수 있도록 개발된 하천 물리적 평가체계를 남강, 내성천, 갑천, 유등천에 적용하여 검증하고, 적용성을 평가하였다. 우리나라 하천환경의 고유한 특성을 고려한 물리적 하천환경 평가체계는 하천사업을 위한 현재의 하천환경의 진단 및 하천사업의 효과 및 분석 등에 활용할 수 있으며, 하천관리를 위한 지구지정의 정량적 기준 및 관리목표 설정 등 하천계획 설계의 실무과정에서 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
