The existing fruit sorter has the method of tilting tray and extracting fruits by the action of solenoid or springs. In peaches, the most sort processing is supported by man because the sorter make fatal damage to peaches. In order to sustain commodity and quality of peach non-destructive, non-contact and real time based sorter was needed. This study was performed to develop peach sorter using near-infrared spectroscopy in real time and nondestructively. The prototype was developed to decrease internal and external damage of peach caused by the sorter, which had a way of extracting tray with it. To decrease positioning error of measuring sugar contents in peaches, fiber optic with two direction diverged was developed and attached to the prototype. The program for sorting and operating the prototype was developed using visual basic 6.0 language to measure several quality index such as chlorophyll, some defect, sugar contents. The all sorting result was saved to return farmers for being index of good quality production. Using the prototype, program and MLR(multiple linear regression) model, it was possible to estimate sugar content of peaches with the determination coefficient of 0.71 and SEC of 0.42bx using 16 wavelengths. The developed MLR model had determination coefficient of 0.69, and SEP of 0.49bx, it was better result than single point measurement of 1999's. The peach sweetness grading system based on NIR reflectance method, which consists of photodiode-array sensor, quartz-halogen lamp and fiber optic diverged two bundles for transmitting the light and detecting the reflected light, was developed and evaluated. It was possible to predict the soluble solid contents of peaches in real time and nondestructively using the system which had the accuracy of 91 percentage and the capacity of 7,200 peaches per an hour for grading 2 classes by sugar contents. Draining is one of important factors for production peaches having good qualities. The reason why one farm's product belows others could be estimated for bad draining, over-much nitrogen fertilizer, soil characteristics, etc. After this, the report saved by the peach grading system will have to be good materials to farmers for production high quality peaches. They could share the result or compare with others and diagnose their cultural practice.

This study analyzed the seismic fragility of bored tunnels based on their surrounding conditions and suggested a representative seismic fragility model. By analyzing the existed seismic fragility models developed for bored tunnels, we developed weighted combination models for each surrounding conditions, such as ground conditions and depth of the tunnel. The seismic fragility curves use the peak ground acceleration (PGA) as a parameter. When the PGA was 0.3 g, the probability of damage exceeding minor or slight damage was 20% for depth of 50 m or less, 10% for depth between 50 m and 100 m, and 3% for depth of 100 m or more. It was also found that the probability of damage was higher for the same PGA and depth when the surrounding ground was rock rather than soil. The probability of damage decreases as the depth increase. This study is expected to be used for developing a comprehensive seismic fragility function for tunnels in the future.

As interest in the use of underground spaces increases, safety against water pressure acting on underground structures is required. In Korea, various buoyancy prevention methods are used to control such underground water pressure, and among them, the vertical drainage method with excellent economic efficiency, constructionability and stability has recently been introduced and applied. However, in the case of the vertical drainage method designed and constructed in the field, it is often designed and constructed depending on numerical analysis, making it difficult to expect practical stability judgment. Accordingly, in this study, an experiment was conducted to measure both pressure by installing a vertical drainage system using a model soil. Based on the measured value by the experiment and the numerical analysis value, we intend to compare and analyze the action positive pressure and use it as basic data for field application.

A core procedure of the direct search method used in this study is optimizing a difference between objective function and real displacement and correcting unknown variables. Because the research procedure comes from back-analyzing of the unknown variable of each layer, back-analyzing results need an additional optimization to minimize interferential effects of unknown variables. Therefore, the direct search method Is used to obtain optimized solutions without a partial differentiation of an objective function. The object of this research is developing the back analysis technique for multi-unknown variables by modeling the soil including underground structure Into upper and lower layer. In order to minimize interferent errors, repeated back analysis is performed and applicability on the real tunnel is examined. Consequently, the multi-layer analysis model is more precise in describing the real behavior of underground structure. It shows the validity of back analysis far multi-layer model which is the understructure placed on multi-layer boundaries.

Several researches have been done to estimate the earth pressure on a vertical circular shaft considering three dimensional arching effect and verified them by conducting model tests. However, any equation suggested so far is not applicable in case of multi-layered soils and/or C-${\phi}$ soils. In this study, new equation for estimating the earth pressure acting on the vertical shaft in c-${\phi}$ soils is proposed. A parametric study is performed to investigate the significance of the cohesion when estimating the coefficient of earth pressure in C-${\phi}$ soils and estimating earth pressures in vertical shafts. A method which can estimate the earth pressure on vertical shafts in layered soils is also proposed by assuming a failure surface in layered soils and using the modified equation. This paper is Part I of companion papers focusing on the theoretical aspect of model developments; the experimental verification will be made in Part II.

Tunnelling-induced settlements and lateral ground movements have been investigated by numerical parametric studies considering ground condition, excavation characteristics, and ground layers. Before the numerical study the existing methods of ground movement estimation have been collected and analysed to have some information of ground movements and to improve them providing a fundamental material for the numerical study. Numerical model simulation has been performed of a physical model test of tunnel excavation in which the ground movements were measured reliably and the results have been used to determine the numerical approach and the appropriate soil constitutive mode. With this procedure done, the results of numerical parametric studies have been put together to analyze and understand tunnelling-induced settlements and lateral ground movements.

By conducting three-dimensional simulation with consideration of small-strain characteristics of soil stiffness, the effects of excavation geometry and tunnel cover to diameter ratio on deformation mechanisms of an existing tunnel located either at a side of basement or directly underneath the basement were systematically studied. Field measurements were used to verify the numerical model and model parameters. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, the maximum settlement and horizontal displacement of the tunnel are always observed at the tunnel springline closer to basement and tunnel crown, respectively, regardless of basement geometry. By increasing basement length and width by five times, the maximum movements of tunnel located at the side of basement and directly underneath the basement increase by 450% and 186%, respectively. Obviously, tunnel movements are more sensitive to basement length rather than basement width. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, tunnel movements at basement centerline become stable when basement length reaches 10 H_e (i.e., final excavation depth). Moreover, tunnel heaves due to overlying basement excavation become stable when the normalized basement length (L/H_e) is larger than 8.0. As tunnel cover to diameter ratio varies from 2.5 to 3.0, the maximum heave and tensile strain of tunnel due to overlying basement excavation decrease by up to 41.0% and 44.5%, respectively. If basement length is less than 8 H_e, the assumption of plane strain condition of basement-tunnel interaction grossly overestimates tunnel movements, and ignores tensile strain of tunnel along its longitudinal direction. Thus, three-dimensional numerical analyses are required to obtain a reasonable estimation of tunnel responses due to adjacent and overlying basement excavations in clay.

강우에 따른 유역 내 유출량은 수문순환에서 중요한 요소 중 하나이며, 과거부터 강우-유출 모델링을 위한 여러 물리적 수문모형들이 개발되어왔다. 또한 최근 딥러닝 기술을 기반으로한 강우-유출 모델링 접근 방식이 유효함을 입증하는 여러 연구가 수행됨에 따라 딥러닝을 기반으로한 유출량 모의 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물리적 수문모형인 SWAT(Soil Water Assessment Tool)과 딥러닝 기법 중 하나인 LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory)을 사용하여 연구대상지 유출량을 모의했으며, 두 모형에 의해 모의 된 유출량의 극값을 비교 분석했다. 연구대상지로는 영산강 유역을 선정했으며, 영산강 유역의 과거 기간의 기후 변수 모의를 위해 CMIP(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project)6 GCM(General Circulation Model)을 사용했다. GCM을 사용하여 모의 된 기후 변수들은 영산강 유역 내 기상관측소의 과거 기간 관측 값을 기반으로 분위사상법을 사용하여 편이보정 됐다. GCM에 의해 모의 된 기후 변수 및 SWAT, LSTM에 의해 모의 된 유출량은 각각 영산강 유역 내 기상관측소 및 수위관측소의 관측 값을 기반으로 재현성을 평가했다. SWAT 및 LSTM을 사용하여 모의 된 유출량의 극값은 GEV(General Extreme Value) 분포를 사용하여 추정하였다. 결과적으로 GCM의 기후 변수 모의 성능은 과거 기간 관측 값과 비교했을 때 편이보정 후에서 상당히 향상되었다. 유출량 모의 결과의 경우 과거 기간 유출량의 관측 값과 비교했을 때 LSTM의 모의 유출량이 SWAT보다 과거 기간 유출량을 보다 근접하게 모의했으며, 극값 모의 성능의 경우 또한 LSTM이 SWAT보다 높은 성능을 보였다.

기후변화는 전 지구 수문순환과 수자원 분포에 커다란 영향을 준다. 하지만 지금까지 관측되어온 지구상의 건조도 변화에 있어서 기후의 자연변동성의 영향과 인간활동에 의한 온난화의 영향을 명시적으로 밝힌 연구는 존재하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 구동형 모델과 물리 모델을 이용해 관측 기반의 전구 수자원 분포를 1902년부터 2014년까지 재구축함으로써 지구의 평균온도가 약 1도 상승해온 지난 세기에 걸쳐 건기의 수자원 분포가 어떻게 변해왔는지 보인다. 재구축된 전구 변화 패턴은 인간활동에 의한 온실가스 증가등을 고려한 기후 모델 시뮬레이션과 흡사함을 알 수 있었으며 기후의 자연변동성만을 고려한 기후 모델 시뮬레이션에서는 발견되지 않았다. 주로 북아시아, 북미, 유럽 등 중위도 온대지방에서 더욱더 건조한 건기가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며 이는 강수량의 감소보다는 증발산의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 나타난다. 이와 같은 건조도의 변화는 미래 있어서 또한 인류에 대한 커다란 위협으로 자리한다. 미래 기후에서의 가뭄의 변화에 대해 다양한 연구들이 존재하지만 대부분 높은 수준의 온난화 (예를들어 RCP-SSP 585)에서의 영향에 국한된다. 다시 말해 인류가 21세기 중반에 달성을 목표로 하는 탄소중립이 가뭄의 측면에서 어떤 영향을 주게 될지에 대한 연구는 아직 충분하지 않다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 약한 혹은 중간 수준의 기후변화 시나리오를 이용해 파리협약에서 목표로 하는 1.5℃와 2℃ 상승에 따라 전 지구의 건조도 분포가 어떻게 변하고 그 변화에 있어서 어떠한 수문기후학적 메커니즘이 작용하는지 밝힌다. 지중해 연안 지역에서는 건조도의 가속이 +1.5℃와 +2℃사이에 존재하였으나 동아시아에서는 +1.5℃와 +2℃ 모두에서 습윤해짐을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 지역적 불균일성은 기후변화 대응 노력에 있어서 과거 온실가스 배출에 대한 책임뿐만 아니라 다양한 부문에 걸친 미래의 잠재 적응 노력 또한 고려해야만 함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 제6차 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project의 Land Surface, Snow, Soil-moisture Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6/LS3MIP)와 Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI)의 다중 모델 앙상블 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용했다.

In densely built areas, the development of underground transportation systems often involves twin excavations, which are sometimes unavoidably constructed adjacent to existing piled foundations. Because soil stiffness degrades with induced stress release and shear strain during excavation, it is vital to investigate the piled raft responses to subsequent excavation after the first tunnel in a twin-excavation system. The effects of deep excavations on existing piled foundations have been extensively investigated, but the influence of twin excavations on a piled raft is seldom reported in the literature. In this study, three-dimensional numerical analyses were carried out to investigate the influence of sand density on an existing piled raft (with a working load on top of the raft) due to twin excavations. A wide range of relative density (D_r) from loosest (30%), loose to medium (50% and 70%), and densest (90%) were selected to investigate the effects on settlement and load transfer mechanism of the piled raft during twin excavations. An advanced hypoplastic sand model (which can capture small-strain stiffness and stress-state dependent dilatancy of sand) was adopted. The model parameters are calibrated against centrifuge test results in sand reported in the literature. From the computed results, it is found that twin excavations in loose sand (D_r=30%) caused the most significant settlement. This is because of the higher stiffness of denser sand (D_r=90%) than that of loose sand. In contrast, a much larger tilting (maximum magnitude=0.18%) was computed in dense sand than in loose sand after the completion of the first excavation. As far as the load transfer mechanism along the piles is concerned, an upward load transfer to mobilize shaft resistance is observed in loose sand. On the contrary, a downward load transfer is observed in dense sand.
