A completion of settling process takes a lot of time for dredged materials of high moisture content, such as contaminated sludge, in landfill site. In general, additives (e.g. flocculants) are used for reducing settling time of such colloidal material, which results in the increase of sludge volume, and hence much space is required in landfill site. This study is to suggest alternative method in order to enhance the settling process of cohesive clayey soils. A number of gravitational sedimentation tests as well as electrokinetic experiments were conducted to investigate the variation of initial moisture content on the settling behaviour of clay slurry. Surface settlement, electric current and local voltage gradient were monitored during the experiment, and moisture content and soil pH were measured after the experiment. From the results, the application of electrokinetics was found to be effective in volume reduction (i.e. increase of settling velocity and decrease of final moisture content) by comparison with gravitational settling process.

If a conventional type of Plastic Board Drain (PBD) is installed to the deep clay deposit, it is subjected to a high lateral earth pressure. a flow channel of PBD may be reduced by the collapse of cores and clogged by the intrusion of filter into the space between cores which are made by lateral pressure. It could decrease the ability of initial discharge capacity and the reliability of long term discharge capacity. A cylindrical plastic board drain (C-PBD) considered in this study consists of cylindrical core and several supports so that it can prevent the reduction of area of flow channel from the higher lateral earth pressure effectively. The discharge capacity of C-PBD was compared to that of a conventional PBD through performing experiments using the composite discharge capacity apparatus which can consider in-situ condition such as penetration of drains, ground settlement and discharge capacity. As a result, C-PBD showed much better performance than PBD in the ability of discharge. It was observed that the C-PBD was folded whereas the conventional PBD was folded after the experiment.

When some structures are constructed over the sanitary landfill, the waste should be treated by means of replacement and other ways. Otherwise, various problems like a ground contamination, settlement, reduction of bearing capacity and others may be generated. To find out the optimal method of treatment, the properties of the ground have to be inspected. In this study, the preliminary investigation was conducted to find out the characteristic of this site which is considered as insanitary waste landfill. Furthermore, the shape and the amount of the waste was investigated by subsurface investigation like a boring and sampling methods. In addition, the degree of ground contamination and disposal method of refuse was examined.

A diagram has been annexed to the spot inspection record of the traffic accident were drawn up with measuring-tape heretofor. However, conventional reduction method have been usually contained the various problems according to the social development. To solve these problems, it was performed that photogrammetric method are measured 3-D coordinate of needed points and precised plotting of traffic accident spot investigation. Also, they have produced some good effects on speedy spot investigation and settlement of traffic stagnation. Because semi-metric camera and MR2 system are utilize for low cost, simple operation and almost unnecessary for control point surveying, these fittings being at the close-range photogrammetry will be extremely powerful over versatile fields like traffic accident in police.

The use of vertical drain method to improve the soft soil ground has been continuously increased in Korea such as Busan New Port, Saemangeum reclamation project and so on in Korea. Especially PBD(Plastic Board Drain), one of the vertical drain, has been widely used due to the economic feasibility, construction compatibility and quality control. However in case of using PBD, discharge capacity reduction caused by creep deformation of the PBD filter, bending, kinking and so on can be occurred. Therefore the purpose of this study is to solve these problems by developing Deformation-Compatible Vertical Drain, DCVD which allows to deform with consolidation settlement without bending and kinking of vertical drain. In order to investigate the performance of DCVD developed in this study, discharge capacity test, centrifuge model test and complex discharge capacity test for both PBD and DCVD are performed and the results are compared.

At present, the significance of a new manufacturing system that can shift from 'mass production' and consider life cycles of a product is pointed out and extremely expected. In such a situation, it is recognized that the modular design, often called 'unit design,' is the important design methodology which realizes the new production system enabling 'cost reduction,' 'flexible production of a multi-functional artifact,' 'settlement of an environmental issue,' and so on. A module (unit) of a product is generally defined as 'the parts group made into the sub-system from a certain specific viewpoint.' So far, there have been many researches related to the modular design. However, they are often limited to a certain viewpoint (objective). This paper proposes a simple but effective method for multi-objective modular design. In the proposed method, a new design metric, called similarity index, is proposed to evaluate the modular design candidates from the multiple viewpoints.

As the density and height of the buildings nearby subway lines get higher, the unprecedented residents' appeals for noise are on the rise. Furthermore, in accordance with the revision of enforcement regulations on the Noise and Vibration Control Act, the night time noise standards have been reinforced by 5dB effective on January 1st 2010 and the appropriate measures shall be taken accordingly. For the settlement of the public grievances against noise and vibration generated on tracks in at-grade and elevated section, the installation of continuously-welded-rail, rail lubrication system, improved fastening system and higher noise barrier is currently executed. Nevertheless, the noise and vibration levels in some areas are still exceeding the limits required in the regulation. Among the measures, an installation of higher noise barrier or noise tunnel seems to be the most effective way; however, it has limitations owing to the structural stability of existing elevated structures. The paper in consideration of the local conditions and foreign practices discusses the installation of fairing system under the train body as an noise insulation panel in order to reduce the rolling noise and under-carriage noise. Based on the result of this study, a performance verification test during actual train operation is in progress for further study.

This paper describes the applicability of geogrid with I-type coupling system, which permits vertical displacement on back fill ground of the reinforced retaining wall and also minimize the damage between block and geogrid. The improvement of coupling method allowed the reduction of approximately 700 mm in the existing geogrid, and as a result, the tensile strength at the coupling joint showed approximately 53% of the maximum tensile strength. It is expected from the laboratory investigations that the coupling strength of geogrid with the combination of in-situ supporting material should be predominant in the field condition.

The Korean government is in the establishment process of plan for managing fishing effort by setting up the maximum fishing gear usage per fishery type for the recovery of fishery resources, for the settlement of disputes between fishery sectors over fishing gears, and for the stability of fishing business condition. Especially in the setting up of the maximum fishing gear usage, economic standards as well as biological standards are being considered as a significant factor to promote the sustainable and economically viable development of fisheries. This study is, thus, to analyze the optimal economic fishing gear usage ($E_{MEY}$) as the most economically efficient one for the coastal snow crab gillnet fishery, one of the most controversial sectors in establishing the maximum fishing gear usage. The data of logbooks per trip were used for concentrating on the estimation of $E_{MEY}$ per trip because it was considered there were limitations of data available for analyses. As a finding drawn from the analyses, the optimal economic trap usage ($E_{MEY}$) of coastal snow crab gillnet vessels per trip has to be decreased by about 13%. That is, reducing the trip gillnet usage up to the level of $E_{MEY}$ can lead to the reduction of trip fishing costs, thereby resulting in the increased trip profits.

This study proposes D- shortage control system which is a convenient tool for cooperative companies to reduce shortages which frequently break out between the manufacturing companies and the cooperative companies. On the ground of theoretical analysis of MRP and JIT system, D- shortage control system sets up a schedule that secures the delivery date by precedent scheduling( D-) comparing with MRP It also syncronizes business, production and release, and builds the pull system comparing with JIT. The factors causing shotages are the scheduling absurdity and the controlling absurdity. The scheduling absurdity can be settled by the calculating required quantity method of MRP and the controlling absurdity can be settled by daily control of business, production and pruchasing fuctions by the pull system of JIT. And the inventory and the WIP can be reduced by the operating of PULL system and by the settlement of D- shortage control practices. The Application of D- shortage control system, therefore, enables the rationalization of logistics and reduces the inventory And it leads to the reinforced competitiveness and the security of subsistence of manufacturer by the cost ruduction, the reduction of financial difficulty, and the insurance of the delivery date.
