To investigate the thermal properties of a water-retentive artificial turf system (W-ATS), we estimated hydrologic parameters including thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and surface albedo for both the W-ATS and natural grass. We used a model experiment to measure surface temperature and evaporation for both the W-ATS and natural grass. We found that the W-ATS had lower thermal conductivity than natural grass did, and it was difficult for the W-ATS to convey radiant heat to the ground. Compared to natural grass, the W-ATS also had lower heat capacity, which contributed to its larger variation in surface temperature: the W-ATS had higher surface temperatures during daytime and lower surface temperatures during nighttime. The albedo of the W-ATS was one-quarter that of natural grass, and reflected shortwave radiation from the W-ATS surface was lower than that from the surface of natural grass. These results indicate that the W-ATS caused the soil temperature to increase. Furthermore, evaporation from the W-ATS was one-quarter the value of evapotranspiration from natural grass.

최근 이상 기후에 따른 유역 환경의 변화가 크게 눈에 띄고 있다. 또한, 댐건설이나 하도 준설 등 인위적인 요인에 의해 유역 및 하천의 유사 거동이 크게 변화하고 있다. 그러나, 하도 관리의 기본 자료인 하천 유역의 유사 발생량에 대해서는 체계적인 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 분포형 수문 모형을 이용하여 체계적이고 합리적으로 비유사량을 산정하기 위한 연구이다. 대상 유역으로는 낙동강 주요 지류 중 하나이며, 영주댐이 건설될 계획인 내성천으로 선정하였으며, 이용하는 모형은 대상유역의 토양 특성, 토지이용과 관리 상태를 고려하는 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 선정하였다. 먼저, GIS와 연계된 SWAT 모형을 적용하기 위하여 수치 고도자료, 토양도와 토지이용도를 구축하고, 내성천 유역의 기상 및 우량 관측소를 고려하여 일강수자료, 일 최대/최소 기온을 포함한 기후자료를 입력하였다. 그리고, 대상 유역에 위치한 수문관측소와 수질 관측소를 고려하여 소유역으로 세분화한 후 토양특성과 토지이용에 따른 모의를 실시하였다. SWAT 모형을 이용한 비유사량 산정에서 문제가 되는 것은 식생 피복 상태와 토양 침식성 인자인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 산정된 비유사량은 내성천의 하천 유사량 측정 자료에서 산정한 비유사량과 비교하였다. 그 결과 SWAT 모형은 유사량 실측 자료에서 산정된 비유사량보다 상당히 큰 값을 산정하였다. 그러나, 보다 체계적인 입력 자료가 축적된다면, SWAT 모형을 이용하여 합리적인 비유사량 산정이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

The dynamic characterization is important in making accurate predictions of the seismic response of the hybrid structures dominated by different damping mechanisms. Different damping characteristics arise from the construction of hybrid structure with different materials: steel for the upper part; reinforced concrete for the lower main part and interaction with supporting soil. The process of modeling damping matrices and experimental verification is challenging because damping cannot be determined via static tests as can mass and stiffness. The assumption of classical damping is not appropriate if the system to be analyzed consists of two or more parts with significantly different levels of damping. The dynamic response of structures is critically determined by the damping mechanisms, and its value is very important for the design and analysis of vibrating structures. A numerical algorithm capable of evaluating the equivalent modal damping ratio from structural components is desirable for improving seismic design. Two approaches are considered to explore the dynamic response of hybrid tower of cable-stayed bridges: The first approach makes use of a simplified model of 2 coupled lumped masses to investigate the effects of subsystems different damping, mass ratio, frequency ratio on dynamic characteristics and equivalent modal damping; the second approach employs a detailed numerical step-by step integration procedure.

Oil storage tanks are vital life-line structures, suffered significant damages during past earthquakes. In this study, a numerical model for an unanchored vertical vaulted-type tank was established by ANSYS software, including the tank-liquid coupling, nonlinear uplift and slip effect between the tank bottom and foundation. Four actual earthquakes recorded at different soil sites were selected as input to study the dynamic characteristics of the tank by nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis, including the elephant-foot buckling, the liquid sloshing, the uplift and slip at the bottom. The results demonstrate that, obvious elephant-foot deformation and buckling failure occurred near the bottom of the tank wall under the seismic input of Class-I and Class-IV sites. The local buckling failure appeared at the location close to the elephant-foot because the axial compressive stress exceeded the allowable critical stress. Under the seismic input of Class-IV site, significant nonlinear uplift and slip occurred at the tank bottom. Large amplitude vertical sloshing with a long period occurred on the free surface of the liquid under the seismic wave record at Class-III site. The seismic properties of the storage tank were affected by site class and should be considered in the seismic design of large tanks. Effective measures should be taken to reduce the seismic response of storage tanks, and ensure the safety of tanks.

Despite the enormous technical and economic efforts to improve environmental conditions, currently about 40% of the global population (or 2 billion people) are still lack access to safe water supply and adequate sanitation facilities. Pollution problems and transmission of water- related diseases will continue to proliferate. The rapid population growth and industrialization will lead to a reduction of arable land, thus exacerbating the food shortage problems and threatening environmental sustainability. Natural systems in this context are a transdisciplinary approach which employs the activities of microbes, soil and/or plants in waste stabilisation and resource recovery without the aid of mechanical or energy-intensive equipments. Examples of these natural systems are: waste stabilisation ponds, aquatic weed ponds, constructed wetlands and land treatment processes. Although they require relatively large land areas, the natural systems could achieve a high degree of waste stabilisation and at the same time, yield potentials for waste recycling through the production of algal protein, fish, crops, and plant biomass. Because of the complex interactions occurring in the natural systems, the existing design procedures are based mainly on empirical or field experience approaches. An integrated kinetic model encompassing the activities of both suspended and biofilm bacteria and some important engineering parameters has been developed which could predict the organic matter degradation in the natural systems satisfactorily.

SCP(Sand Compaction Pile) method that forms a composite ground by driving compacted sand piles into the soft ground. This method is one of the soil improvement techniques for reinforcing and strengthening soft ground deposits. This thesis describes the investigation on the behavior of soft ground reinforced with SCP by low improvement ratio. Direct shear test and consolidation test carried out to verified behavior of composite ground reinforced with SCP. Test results were discussed with reference to the amount of consolidation settlement, variation of shear resistance with area replacement ratio and effect of the stress concentration. And, laboratory model loading test carried out to verified the effect of the location and failure mode of reinforced embankment. Residual shear strength varies with the area replacement and constrict load in the low replacement ratio. Calculated stress concentration ratio overestimate than proposed valve by experimental, theoretical and analytical method. As regards the location, improving right below of the top of the slope was more effective than below of the toe of the slope. This thesis carried out to obtain fundamental information of behavior of the composit ground. Hereafter, centrifuge test that reproduce stress state of the in-situ must be necessary through the further study about pile penetration, reinforce position and construct time.

Although various fast and simple, testing devices have been developed in many countries such as the U.S, Japan, and European countries, these testing devices are not commonly used in Korea. In this study, compaction fur the field density test was carried out with a hand-guided vibrating roller. The results of the field density test were compared with those of the new testing devices such as the geogauge, soil impact hammer(CASPFOL), light falling weight deflectometer(LFWD), dynamic cone penetration(DCP). Regression analyses were conducted with the data from new testing devices. The analysis results showed that the correlation coefficients were high in the range of $70{\sim}95%$.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of spatial resolutions on the accuracy to landslide susceptibility mapping. For this, landslide locations were identified in the Boun, Korea from interpretation of aerial photographs and field surveys. The topographic, soil, forest, geologic, linearment and land use data were collected, processed and constructed into a spatial database using GIS and remote sensing data. The 15 factors that influence landslide occurrence were extracted and calculated from the spatial database with 5m, 10m, 30m, 100m and 200m spatial resolutions. Landslide hazardous area were analysed and mapped using the landslide-occurrence factors by probability model, likelihood ratio, for the five cases spatial resolutions. The results of the analysis were verified using the landslide location data. In the cases of spatial resolution 5m, 10m and 30m, the verification results was similar, but in the cases of 100m and 200m the results worse than the others. Because the scale of input data was 1:5,000 ? 1:50,000, so the cases of 5m, 10m and 30m have similar accuracy but the cases of 100m and 200m have the lower accuracy. From this, there is an effect of spatial resolutions on accuracy and landslide susceptibility mapping the result is dependent on input map.

The area of Chojung is famous for its mineral water quality. Because of this reason, massive groundwater development was induced in the area. As a result of excessive pumping. the depletion of the groundwater resources is expected seriously. This study was conducted to analyse groundwater flow in Chojung using a numerical model. Simulation results show the groundwater level change slowly in the mountain area but steep groundwater drawdown occurred in the pumping area in the downstream. This steep groundwater drawdown is due to excessive pumping in the hilly region. Because of this excessive, desiccation of water resources were predicted and proper countermeasure is in great demand.

토양온도는 기후변화, 지역기상모형, 수생태 영향과 밀접한 상관성을 가지고 있으며 이에 대한 연구들이 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 특히 기후는 토양의 분포와 성장, 그리고 소멸에 영향을 미치고, 식생은 증산과정에 의해 대기로 수분을 내보내는 과정을 통해 기후에 영향을 미치고 있다. 이 때, 지표면의 토양온도는 토양수분 및 식생의 성장에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 격자기반 일 지표면 토양온도 모형이 제안되며, 이를 이용하여 한반도 남동쪽에 위치한 낙동강 유역 내 안동댐 상류지역에 대한 지표면 토양온도가 모의된다. 제안된 모형의 구동을 위해 필요한 입력 자료는 일평균기온 및 관측 NDVI 자료이다. 전국 60개 지점에서 관측된 일 평균기온은 고도가 고려된 Krignig기법을 이용하여 격자별로 구축되며, NDVI 및 지표면 토양온도를 위한 위성자료는 적절한 전처리 과정을 거쳐 자료를 구축한다. 전반적으로 모의된 일 지표면 토양온도는 관측 자료를 잘 재현하고 있는 것으로 분석된다. 추가적으로 감쇠율을 적용하여 토양온도를 토양깊이에 따라 예측하는 방법이 제안되며, 토양깊이에 따라 토양온도가 감소하는 경향을 살펴볼 수 있을 것이다. 이상과 같이 본 연구에서 제안된 모형은 추후 하천수온예측 및 격자기반의 수문모형의 구성을 위한 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다. 더 나아가 본 연구는 기후-토양-식생의 관계를 바탕으로 미래기후에 대한 물 환경 영향을 평가하는데 있어서 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
