Estimating seismic displacements has a great importance for foundations on or adjacent to slope surfaces. However, dynamic solution of the problem has received little attention by previous researchers. This paper presents a new analytical model to determine seismic displacements of the shallow foundations adjacent to slopes. For this purpose, a dynamic equilibrium equation is written for the foundation with failure wedge. Stiffness and damping at the sliding surface are considered variable and a simple method is proposed for its estimation. Finally, for different failure surfaces, the calculated dynamic displacement and the surfaces with maximum strain are selected as the critical failure surface. Analysis results are presented as curves for different slope angles and different foundation distances from edge of the slope and are then compared with the experimental studies and software results. The comparison shows that the proposed model is capable of estimating seismic displacement of the shallow foundations adjacent to slopes. Also, the results demonstrate that, with increased slope angle and decreased foundation distances from the slope edge, seismic displacement increases in a non-linear trend. With increasing the slope angle and failure wedge angle, maximum strain of failure wedge increases. In addition, effect of slope on foundation settlement could be neglected for the foundation distances over 3B to 5B.

동토지역에서의 파이프라인 시공 시 계절변화와 그에 따른 지반의 강도변화가 트렌치의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 영국, 러시아, 국내 파이프라인 기준들을 분석하여 직경 30in. 파이프의 트렌치 형상을 도출하였다. 러시아 야쿠츠크(Yakutsk) 지역의 계절별 지반조건에서 횡방향 사면경사($0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$)와 종방향 사면경사($20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $40^{\circ}$)에 따른 트렌치의 안정성을 분석하였다. 강도감소법을 이용하여 트렌치와 사면의 안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 사면의 경사가 높을수록 안전율이 낮게 나왔으며 여름철 지반조건에서는 횡방향 사면경사가 $30^{\circ}$일 때 트렌치의 안정성을 확보하기 어려우며 지상으로부터 1m 아래에서 예상 파괴면을 확인하였다. 종방향 사면의 경사가 낮을 때에는 트렌치 부근의 파괴가 일어날 가능성이 높았지만 종방향 사면의 경사가 높을 때에는 트렌치 부근의 파괴 보다는 사면 전체의 파괴가 주를 이루는 것으로 분석되었다. 겨울철 지반조건에서는 지표면의 온도가 영하로 내려가서 지반 공극 내 얼음 발생으로 인하여 점착력이 발생되는 효과가 있어, 특수한 외부 하중이나 급격한 온도변화가 없을 경우에는 트렌치 사면 경사 $0{\sim}40^{\circ}$에서 안전성의 문제는 없을 것으로 판단되었다.

Objective : We performed a retrospective analysis of medical records and radiographic images of patients who never underwent spinal treatment including diagnosis. The objective of this study is to explain the biomechanical and physiologic characteristics of cervical alignment related to thoracic inlet angle including T1 slope changes in each individual. Methods : We reviewed the cervical CT radiographs of 80 patients who visited ENT outpatient clinic without any symptom, diagnosis and treatment of cervical spine from January 2011 to September 2012. All targeted people were randomized without any prejudice. We assessed the data-T1 slope, Cobb's angle C2-7, neck tilt, sagittal vertical axis (SVA) C2-7 and thoracic inlet angle by the CT radiographs. Results : The relationships between each value were analyzed and we concluded that Cobb's angle C2-7 gets higher as the T1 slope gets higher, while the SVA C2-7 value decreases. Conclusion : We propose that the T1 slope is background information in deciding how much angle can be made in the cervical spinal angle of surgical lordotic curvature, especially severe cervical deformity.

The purpose of this study was to find the relationship between standing posture biomechanics and physical fitness in the elderly. Physical fitness variables and postural variables for 227 (140 women and 87 men) elderly individuals were tested. Physical fitness tests (Korean Institute of Sports Science, 2012) included 3m sit, walk, and return, grip test, 30 second chair sit and stand, sit and reach, figure 8 walks, and 2 minute stationary march. Postural biomechanics variables included resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP), shoulder slope, pelvic slope, knee flexion angle, leg length difference, thoracic angle, and upper body slope. In statistical analysis, multiple regression was conducted by using stepwise selection method via SAS (version 9.2). Analysis for both men and women revealed significant relationships between physical fitness and age, upper body slope, knee flexion angle, leg length difference. Pelvic and thoracic angle were only related to figure 8 walking and sit and reach in women, while RCSP and shoulder slope had no relationship with any physical fitness variables.

Shear strength of the discontinuity on which the pre-failure of rock slope was occurred during surface excavation was measured through the direct shear test using core samples obtained in-situ. Internal friction angle was increased as the roughness of discontinuity surface(JRC) was increased. Results of the tilt test using core samples of higher JRC also showed very similar trend as those of the direct shear test. When the samples replicated from natural cores were used int he tilt test, results of friction angles showed almost perfect continuation of the residual friction angles from the direct shear test. However, when the gouge material existed in the discontinuity the internal friction angle strongly depended upon the rate of filling thickness to the height of asperity irrespective of the JRC. Based on the results of both direct shear test and tilt test internal friction angle and cohesion of discontinuity, which reflect the in-situ conditions fo pre-sliding failure and also can be used for the optimum design of support system, were assessed. Two kinds of support measures which were expected to increase the stability of rock slope were considered; lowering of slope face angle and installation of rock cable. But, it was found that the first method might lead to more unstable conditions of rock slope when the cohesion of discontinuity plane was negligibly low and in that case the support systems of any kind which could exert actual resisting force were needed to ensure the permanent stability of rock slope.

본 연구는 국내에서 산자태 발생빈도가 매우 높은 편마암 풍화토를 대상으로 산사태 모형실험장치를 이용하여 강우강도 및 사면경사에 따른 간극수압 변화의 관계를 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 강우강도와 사면경사의 변화에 따른 다양한 실험조건하에서 일정 시간 간격으로 간극수압, 사면붕괴양상 및 변위 등을 각각 측정하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 강우강도에 따른 간극수압의 관계는 강우강도가 클수록 간극수압 증가시간이 빠르며, 모형 토조의 위치별 간극수압 증가시간도 사면 상부에서 가장 빠른 것으로 측정되었다. 이를 표준사를 이용한 실험결과(채병곤 외, 2006)와 비교해 볼 때, 편마암 풍화토는 강우의 침투속도가 표준사에 비해 느린 것을 알 수 있으며, 이로 인해 사면하부로의 강우이동이 상대적으로 원활하지 않아 사면 상단부에서 간극수압의 증가가 빠른 것으로 해석된다. 한편, 간극수압의 증가는 사면의 경사가 작은 경우 먼저 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상 역시 편마암 풍화토의 느린 강우 침투속도에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

A three-dimensional slope valve component is used for controlling micro volume of liquid on a centrifugal force-based microfluidic disk platform, also called a lab-on-a-disk. The modeling factor of the slope valve component is determined to centrifugal force for liquid passing the crest of a slope valve via variation of slope length and angle as well as the radius to start point of slope valve. The centrifugal force is calculated by the equilibrium equation of the capillary and gravitational forces according to the microchannel surface roughness and the liquid volume, respectively. As a result, the slope valve is analyzed by the minimum angular velocity for liquid passing at crest point and the ratio between the length of micro liquid and slope length to obtain the factors for optimal slope angle modeling.

The percentage of a mountainous district in our country is comparatively high but the concern for rock mass has been disregarded for a long time. Especially for rock slope, the most important factors are geometric characteristics and their shear strength parameter. In this paper, parametric studies are performed using the distinct element computer program UDEC-BB for rock slopes. Parameters adopted in this paper are joint angle, spacing, persistence, aperture and shear strength parameters (JRC, JCS, basic friction angle). To estimate slope stability, shear strength reduction method is used. The most important factors affecting rock slope stability are joint angle and spacing. The relationship between average displacement calculated by UDEC-BB and safe factor by shear strength reduction method is researched.

This study has analysed power output characteristics of transparent thin-film PV module depending on incidence angle and azimuth. The simulation results was evaluated power outputs of transparent thin-film PV module depending on incidence angle and azimuth after calibrating the experimental and computed data. As a result, the best power output performance of transparent thin-film PV module was obtained at slope of $30^{\circ}$ to the south, producing the annual power output of 977kWh/kWp. The annual power output data demonstrated that the PV module with a slope of $30^{\circ}$ could produce a 68 % higher power output than that with a slope of $90^{\circ}$, with respect to the inclined slope of the module. Furthermore, the PV module facing south showed a 22 % higher power output than that facing to the east in terms of the angle of the azimuth.
