OBJECTIVES : Fixed roadside objects are a threat to drivers when their vehicles deviate from the road. Therefore, such roadside objects need to be suitably dealt with to decrease accidents. This study determines the factors affecting the severity of accidents because of fixed roadside objects. METHODS : This study analyzed the crash severity impact of fixed roadside objects by using ordered probit regression as the analysis methodology. In this research, data from 896 traffic accidents reported in the last three years were used. These accidents consisted of sole-car accidents, fixed roadside object accidents, and lane-departure accidents on the national highway of Korea. The accident severity was classified as light injury, severe injury, and death. The factors relating to the road and the driver were collected as independent variables. RESULTS: The result of the analysis showed that the variables of the crash severity impact are the collision location (left side), gender of the driver (female), alcohol use, collision facility (roadside trees, traffic signals, telephone poles), and type of road (rural segments). Additionally, the collision location (left side), gender of the driver (female), alcohol use, collision facility (street trees, traffic signals, telephone poles), and type of road (rural segments), in order of influence, were found to be the factors affecting the crash severity in accidents due to fixed roadside objects. CONCLUSIONS: An alternative solution is urgently required to reduce the crash severity in accidents due to fixed roadside objects. Such a solution can consider the appropriate places to install breakaway devices and energy-absorbing systems.

IUCN 평가기준에 따른 희귀식물은 멸종위기(CR)종 노랑붓꽃(Iris koreana)과 약관심(LC)종 말나리(Lilium distichum)가 조사되었다. 식물구계학적 특정식물종은 Ⅴ등급 1분류군, Ⅳ등급 2분류군, Ⅲ등급 2분류군, Ⅱ등급 3분류군 및 Ⅰ등급 11분류군 등 19분류군이 발견되었다. 생활형조성은 교목(21.0%), 저목식물(21.0%), 지중식물(18.8%), 아교목(16.7%) 등이 높게 나타났다. 식생구조를 중요치와 종다양지수로 분석한 결과, 관목식물 중에서는 윤노리나무(Pourthiaeavillosa)의 중요치가 14.5%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 초본식물 중에서는 애기나리가 10.2%로 가장 높은값을 나타내었다. 노랑붓꽃 자생지의 평균 종다양성지수는 1.4로 비교적 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 직경급빈도분포를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 자생지에서 직경 10cm 이상의 성숙목 계급에서는 소나무(Pinusdensiflora), 곰솔(Pinus thunbergii), 갈참나무(Quercus aliena) 및 굴피나무(Platycarya strobilacea)의 출현빈도가 높게 나타났고, 직경 10cm 이하의 어린 식물계급에서는 굴피나무, 때죽나무(Styraxjaponicus), 갈참나무의 출현빈도가 높게 나타났다. 전반적으로 조사지역의 식생은 양호하나 최근 들어 인위적인 간섭 및 자연재해로 인하여 훼손이 증가되고 있어 장기적인 모니터링을 통한 식생변화와 동태 파악이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

OBJECTIVES : In this study, microstructural components of crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) binder were investigated using environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). To clearly understand the elemental composition of the CRMA binder, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was employed on the ESEM samples. METHODS: CRMA binders were produced using open blade mixers at 177℃ for 30 min. The binders were artificially aged through a series of accelerated aging processes. Sample preparation was done by making a mold shape on the glass slide. Thereafter, the morphology of the CRMA binder was observed using the ESEM coupled with the EDX. RESULTS : The images captured from the ESEM indicate that the unaged CRMA binder appears to have a single-phase continuous nonuniform structure after the addition of crumb rubber particles, whereas the artificially aged CRMA binder was observed to have two different phases. ESEM coupled with EDX shows detailed internal structure of the modified binders compared to other technologies (i.e., optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and conventional scanning electron microscope). CONCLUSIONS: The captured images resemble the internal structures such as the viscous properties of the unaged CRMA binder and the interaction between the rubber particles and the base binder at aged condition. ESEM is a powerful instrument and with the introduction of EDX, it provided more details of the network microstructure of the asphalt binder. ESEM coupled with EDX is recommended for use in future investigation of microstructure of asphalt binders.

본 연구에서는 하계 한국 남동해 간절곶 주변해역의 냉수대 구조와 변동을 CTD 관측과 수층별 수온 장기 연속 모니터링 자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 냉수대의 표층수온은 냉수기 이전과 -12℃의 차이를 보였으며 해저지형 효과로 간절곶에서 냉수대 세력이 가장 컸다. 남북해역 간 등온선의 시계열분포에 간절곶을 경계로 공간변화가 발생해 간절곶 주변 해저지형이 언덕(hill)역할을 하고 있음이 추정되었다. 냉수대는 해안에 평행한 풍속이 양(+)의 값일 때 출현하는 연안용승반응을 나타냈고, 수온의 감소와 상승은 풍향이 바뀐 후 하루 이내에 반응하였다. 간절곶 주변은 얕은 수심 주위에서 발생하는 와류효과가 결합하여 바람에 의한 용승효과가 강화되었다. 수온변화는 2~6일 주기의 바람변동에 민감하였으며, 수온감소는 12~36시간의 위상차를 나타냈다. 냉수대가 출현한 7월은 2~3일 주기, 8월은 3~8일 주기에서 바람-수온변화의 상관성이 컸다.

Coal Ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants, is usually disposed in surface impoundments or wet disposal areas and landfill sites. Toxic substances contained in coal ash which slowly seep into the groundwater and aquifers in nearby impoundments, and which are also dispersed by wind and storm water in landfill sites, lead to serious health and environmental effects. The main focus of this study is to analyze the strength characteristics of the recycled coal ash mixed with dredged soil to test its capabilities from external forces such as in the stacking of geotextile tubes. The SEM and XRF analysis were carried out in order to grasp the grain size and composition of the coal ash and the dredged soil. To find the optimum mixing ratio of the coal ash and dredge soil, the type of deformation and the strength of the different mixtures were obtained by performing a uniaxial compression test. The relationship between the compressive stress and deformation of the uniaxial compression test and the tubular structure formed by injecting the coal ash into geotextile tube was confirmed and the applicability of the geotextile tube reinforced with the recycled and improved fill material is very high.

In this study, refined finite element (FE) analyses intended to evaluate the capacity of the existing water purification plant structures against seismic force are conducted with an aim to predict possibility generating tension crack and compression crushing. The FE models for three types of main plant structures were constructed to take ground condition, boundary condition, and water interaction into consideration for advanced simulation. The nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed by using ground motion data which have been used for seismic design. Both compression crushing and tention crack, which are distributed over concrete plant structures during peak ground acceleration (PGA), are investigated by analyzing failure possibility controlled with the strain limits. After observing FE analysis results, it is possible to predict tenstion cracking which can be found at some parts of the main structure.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have advantages as a construction material, including corrosion resistance, lightweight and high tensile strength. However, FRP rebars have shortcomings, such as low elastic modulus comparing to the steel rebar. With these reasons, FRP bars have not been widely used to reinforced-concrete (RC) structures. To overcome these shortcomings, the steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were developed by the authors at Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT). Mechanical properties of the developed steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were experimentally evaluated through this study. Both tensile and bonding tests were conducted and the mechanical performance was investigated as well as corrosion resistance. As a result of all tests, elastic modulus, tensile strength and boding strength of the steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were all improved in comparison with fully GFRP rebars.

A retractable-roof spatial structure is frequently used for a stadium and sports hall. A retractable-roof spatial structure allows natural lighting, ventilation, optimal conditions for grass growth with opened roof. It can also protects users against various weather conditions and give optimal circumstances for different activities. Dynamic characteristics of a retractable-roof spatial structure is changed based on opened or closed roof condition. A tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce seismic responses of a structure. When a TMD is properly tuned, its control performance is excellent. Opened or closed roof condition causes dynamic characteristics variation of a retractable-roof spatial structure resulting in off-tuning. This dynamic characteristics variation was investigated. Control performance of a passive TMD and a smart TMD were evaluated under off-tuning condition.

The seismic isolation system reduces the seismic vibration that is transmitted from foundation to upper structure. This seismic isolation system can be classified into base isolation and mid-story isolation by the installation location. In this study, the seismic behavior of dome structure with mid-story isolation is analyzed to verify the effect of seismic isolation. Mid-story isolation is more effective than base isolation to reduce the seismic responses of roof structure. Also, this isolation would be excellent in structural characteristics and construction.
