위험유해물질은 해양에 유입되었을 때 인간의 건강 및 해양생태계에 막대한 영향을 미치는 물질로 정의된다. 최근 선박을 이용한 물동량이 증가되면서 위험유해물질 누출사고의 발생비율도 증가되는 추세이다. 이에 따라 위험유해물질 누출사고 대응기술개발의 관점에서 해저에 침적되는 물질들의 방제 및 모니터링 연구가 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 저층 침적 위험유해물질의 음향 탐지 가능성을 확인하기 위해 저층 침적 위험유해물질 대체물질의 반사손실 측정 실험이 수행되었다. 위험유해물질로 구분되는 클로로폼의 위험성을 고려하여 클로로폼과 임피던스가 유사한 피마자유가 대체물질로 사용되었으며, 200 kHz 고주파 신호를 송신하여 물과 피마자유 경 계면에서 발생되는 반사손실을 측정하였다. 그리고 물과 피마자유의 임피던스를 측정 및 조사하여 반사계수를 모의하고 모의된 반사손실이 측정값과 유사함을 확인하였다. 또한 저층 침적 위험유해물질로 분류되는 클로로폼의 반사손실을 모의하고 모의 결과가 다양한 해저면 구성성분의 반사손실 모의결과와 차이를 나타냄으로써 해저면과 구분되는 저층 침적 위험유해물질의 음향 탐지 가능성을 예측하였다.

Following a 5.8 magnitude earthquake on September 12, 2016 in Gyeongju Province, a magnitude 5.4 earthquake occurred in the northern region of Pohang City on November 15, 2017 in South Korea. Only 7.9 % of the building structures are earthquake-resistant, according to the recent survey conducted by the government agencies in October 2017. In this paper, the linear analysis seismic performance evaluation procedure of the existing school structures presented in the revised methodology(Seismic Performance Evaluation Procedure and Rehabilitation Manual for School Facilities) was introduced. In this paper, the linear analysis evaluation procedure presented in the revised methodology was introduced and the seismic performance index of the example structure was evaluated using the linear analysis evaluation procedure. The seismic retrofit was verified by the linear and nonlinear dynamic analyses using Perform 3D. The analysis results show that the dissipated inelastic energy is concentrated on the retrofitted shear wall and the maximum inter-story drift of the stadium model structure with damping system satisfies the requirement of the current code.

This study examines the seismic failure of RC low-rise building structures having irregularities at the ground story during the 15 November 2017 Pohang, Korea, earthquake, Mw = 5.4, which is the second strongest since the government began monitoring them in 1978 in South Korea. Some 2,000 private houses were damaged or destroyed in this earthquake. Particularly, serious damage to the piloti story of RC low-rise residential building structures of fewer than five stories was observed within 3 km of the epicenter with brittle shear failure of columns and walls due to severe torsional behavior. Buildings below six stories constructed before 2005 did not have to comply with seismic design requirements, so confinement detailing of columns and walls also led to inadequate performance. However, some buildings constructed after 2005 were damaged at the flexible side of the piloti story due to the high torsional irregularity. Based on these results, this study focuses on the problems of the seismic torsion design approach in current building codes.

Comparative fishing experiments were conducted in the eastern coastal waters near Uljin, Korea from 2002 to 2004, using the experimental trammel nets to estimate the selectivity for spinyhead sculpin Dasycottus setiger. The inner panels of the nets were made of nylon monofilament with four mesh sizes (82.2, 89.4, 104.8, and 120.2 mm) while its two outer panels were made of twisted nylon multifilament with a mesh size of 510 mm. The SELECT (Share Each Length’s Catch Total) procedure with maximum likelihood method was applied to obtain a master selection curve. The different functional models (normal, lognormal, bi-normal, and logistic model) were fitted to the catch data. The lognormal model with the fixed relative fishing intensity was chosen as the best-fitted selection curve through comparison of model deviance and AIC (Akaike’s Information Criterion). The optimum relative length (the ratio of fish total length to mesh size) with the maximum relative efficiency was obtained as 2.492.

Recently, measuring instruments for SHM of structures had being developed. In general, the wireless transmission of sensor signals, compared to its wired counterpart, is preferable due to its absence of triboelectric noise and elimination of the requirement for cumbersome cable. Preliminary studies on the continuous vibration measurement of high-rise buildings using MEMS sensors have been carried out. However, the research on the low-rise buildings with relatively small vibration levels is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we used the wireless MEMS sensor to compare and analyze the vibration measurements of three low-rise buildings.

본 연구에서는 2010년 여름에 천수만에서 저층해수를 채집하여 용존산소와 영양염 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 benthic chamber내의 해수시료를 시계열로 채집하는 자동화된 Benthic Lander를 설치하여 해수-퇴적물간 영양염 플럭스를 측정하였다. 오염된 인공호수 유출수가 들어오는 천수만 북쪽에서는 저층수의 용존산소는 2 mg/l로 hypoxia의 존재 가능성이 확인되었다. 반면 남쪽 천수만 입구의 저층 용존산소는 5 mg/l이었다. 영양염은 용존산소와 반대의 분포 경향을 보였고, N/P ratio의 변화는 hypoxia에 의해 발생된 인산염의 탈착과 용출 때문으로 보인다. 만 북쪽 해역의 유기탄소 산화율과 산소소비율은 남쪽 만 입구 해역보다 약 2배 큰 값을 보였고, 영양염 benthic flux는 천수만 북쪽에서 4내지 6배 높았다. 이러한 결과는 해수-퇴적물간 물질 플럭스를 정확히 추정하기 위해서는 hypoxia의 역할에 대한 이해가 중요하다는 점을 시사해준다.

After an earthquake occurred in the Gyeongju, 2016, many low-story buildings have been questioned in terms of the seismic performance since mostly they have been exempted from the seismic design requirement since 1988. In this study, a 3-story moment resisting frame (MRF) building was analyzed and evaluated the seismic performance. Due to the insufficient seismic performance required for the seismic performance levels, three different seismic retrofit schemes were proposed and their seismic performances were re-evaluated. While steel brace and open shear wall retrofit systems mainly focused on the strength retrofit, the VES damper retrofit system is mainly to enhance the energy dissipation capacity of the system and resultes in the increased ductility. The original building and 3 retrofitted buildings were evaluated using the nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analyses and suggestions were proposed. Through the analysis of nonlinear time history and push-over using MIDAS/Gen program, damages of the building in terms of top story and average story drift and effect of reinforcement were analyzed.

The risk-based assessment, also called time-based assessment of structure is usually performed to provide seismic risk evaluation of a target structure for its entire life-cycle, e.g. 50 years. The prediction of collapse probability is the estimator in the risk-based assessment. While the risk-based assessment is the key in the performance-based earthquake engineering, its application is very limited because this evaluation method is very expensive in terms of simulation and computational efforts. So the evaluation database for many archetype structures usually serve as representative of the specific system. However, there is no such an assessment performed for building stocks in Korea. Consequently, the performance objective of current building code, KBC is not clear at least in a quantitative way. This shortcoming gives an unresolved issue to insurance industry, socio-economic impact, seismic safety policy in national and local governments. In this study, we evaluate the comprehensive seismic performance of an low-rise residential buildings with discontinuous structural walls, so called piloti-type structure which is commonly found in low-rise domestic building stocks. The collapse probability is obtained using the risk integral of a conditioned collapse capacity function and regression of current hazard curve. Based on this approach it is expected to provide a robust tool to seismic safety policy as well as seismic risk analysis such as Probable Maximum Loss (PML) commonly used in the insurance industry.

Seawater flow characteristics around deep-sea sediment resuspension system was analyzed using CFD simulation. Seawater flow is influenced by migration velocity of DSSRS and the resuspension system with disturbance device. Especially complicated flow field is generated with discharged flow in the vertical direction, and there is large variation of seawater velocity near the system with vortex flow. Turbulent kinetic energy near the system increases 2～6 times, and its variation is also affected by the operation condition of the disturbance device. The results of this study are expected to be useful in evaluating the environmental effects of the suspended solid matters which are generated in the deep sea sediment disturbance process.

The 1/5 scale–down model of the Bycatch Reduction Device (BRD) from an Argentinean demersal trawl was tested in a circulating water channel. The BRD is designed to help small Hake (merluza, merluccius hubbsi) to escape from a trawl. It is settled in front of a trawl codend, and is equipped with selection grids that help small fish to escape from the gear and guiding panels that help fish to meet with the grids. Bars of the grids are wires covered by the PVC and other parts of the BRD are made of net. When the velocity was less than 0.65 m/sec (2.81 Kont when translated to real towing speed) which is slow speed compared with real towing speed, position between an upper guiding panel and an upper selection grid were good to help small fish to escape. When the velocity was more than 0.8 m/sec (3.41 Knot when translated to real towing speed) which is similar to and faster than real towing speed, it was considered that small fish may have difficulties in escaping because the gap was not enough between an upper guiding panel and an upper selection grid. The lower selection grid was sat on the bottom of the tank without an angle due to the weight that it carries. Improvements were proposed to position the panels and the grids better.

본 연구에서는 저층 조적채움벽 철근콘크리트 골조 구조물의 내진보강 전과 후에 대하여 강제 진동 실험과 상시 진동 계측을 수행하였으며 시스템 식별과정을 통하여 구조물의 동특성을 구하고 해당 구조물과 유사한 동특성을 보이는 해석 모델을 만들었다. 시스템 식별 결과 댐퍼가 설치된 x방향의 감쇠비가 증가되었으며, 해석 모델과 비교한 결과 추가 설치된 부재들(전단벽과 댐퍼)의 유효 강성은 부재의 총단면 강성의 50%만이 발현되어 해당 부재들이 기존의 구조물이나 부재와 완전히 일체화되지는 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 추가 설치된 기초의 y방향 구속조건을 핀으로 하여야 동특성을 일치시킬 수 있었는데, 이는 새로운 기초가 설치되며 해당 지질의 특성이 변화되었기 때문으로 보인다.

2005년 6월, 9월, 12월 및 2006년 3월에 동해안의 감포연안에서 저층삼중자망에 어획된 어류 종 조성을 분석하였다. 조사기간 동안 총 21과 32종, 695마리, 180,012.0 g의 어류가 채집되었다. 채집된 어류 가운데, 가장 많이 채집된 종은 망상어 (Ditrema temminckii)로서 채집 개체수의 52.4%, 생체량의 40.4%를 차지하였다. 그 다음 주요 종으로는 쥐노래미 (Hexagrammos otakii), 조피볼락 (Sebastes schlegelii), 쥐치 (Stephanolepis cirrhifer), 탁자볼락 (Sebastes taczanowskii), 용치놀래기 (Halichoeres poecilopterus) 등이었다. 이들 6종은 전체 개체수의 77.6%, 전체 생체량의 77.5%를 차지하였다. 종수, 개체수 및 생체량은 계절에 따라 변동하였다. 종수는 2005년 6월에 가장 많았고 2006년 3월에 가장 적었다. 개체수와 생체량은 2005년 9월에 가장 많았고, 2005년 6월에 가장 낮았다.

The angle of attack of a cambered otter board in a bottom trawl was estimated using a three-dimensional semi-analytic treatment of a towing cable (warp) system that was applied to the field experiments of a bottom trawl obtained by the Scanmar system. The equilibrium condition of the horizontal component and vertical component of forces was used to the three forces acting on the otter board in the horizontal plane. Those forces were the force on the warp at the bracket, hydrodynamic lift and drag forces on the otter board and the force on the hand rope attached just behind the otter board. Also the equilibrium of moment about the front edge of the otter board was used to find out the angle of attack of the cambered otter board. When the warp length was 120m and 180m long and the towing speed was between 1.23 and 1.90 m/s, the estimated angle of attack of the cambered otter board was ranged between 26.1° and 29.6°, respectively, though the maximum lift force was at the angle of attack 22.6°. The angle of attack of the otter board was tended to increase weakly with the longer length of warp (180 m) at the same towing speed in the experiment.

연안환경의 영양염 순환에서 저층에서의 영양염 재생산(regeneration)은 주요한 영양염 공급원 중 하나이다. 진해만 저층 영양염의 거동을 살펴보기 위해 2004년부터 2012년까지 9년간 진해만 내 14개 정점의 수질자료를 분석하였다. 저층의 용존무기질소, 인산염인, 규산염규소는 계절적 변동성을 나타내었고, 하계에 가장 높은 농도를 보였다. 특히, 빈산소 수괴(hypoxia) 형성 시기의 평균 영양염 농도는 정상산소상태(normoxia) 시기에 비해 약 2배 더 높게 나타났다. 하계 진해만의 저층 용존무기질소, 인산염인, 규산염규소의 농도는 재생산에 의해 모두 높은 경향을 보였으나, 공간적 농도 분포는 차이를 나타내었다. 용존무기질소와 인산염인은 마산만에서 가장 높은 농도를 보이는 반면 규산염규소는 마산만 뿐만 아니라 진해만 중심부에서도 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 또한 다른 영양염에 비해 규산염규소는 전 계절 동안 저층에서의 재생산이 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 시계열 분석 결과 9년간 용존무기질소의 농도는 약 14 μM에서 6 μM로 뚜렷한 감소를 나타내었다. 용존무기질소의 감소로 인해 진해만 저층의 Si/N 비는 약 1에서 3으로 증가된 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, shaking table test was carried out to evaluate the seismic behavior and performance of low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) piloti structures with and without retrofit. The specimens were designed considering the characteristics of existing building with pilotis such as natural period, distribution factor of strength and stiffness between columns and core wall on the first soft story. The test for the non-retrofit specimen showed that damage was concentrated on the stiffer member on the same floor as the core wall failed by shear fracture whereas columns experienced slight flexural cracks. Considering the failure mode of the non-retrofit specimen, the retrofit method using steel rod damper was presented for improving the seismic performance of piloti structures. The results of the test for retrofit specimen revealed that the retrofit method was effective for controlling the damage as the main RC structural members were not destroyed and most of input energy was dissipated by hysteretic behavior of the damper.

In current seismic design code, steel moment frames are classified into ordinary, intermediate, and special moment frames. In the case of special moment frames which have large R-factor, economic design is possible by reducing the design lateral force. However, there is difficulty for practical application due to constraints such as strong column-weak beam requirement. This study evaluated if steel intermediate moment frame could maintain enough seismic capacity when the R-factor is increased from 4.5 to 6. As for the analytical models, steel moment frames of 3 and 5 stories were categorized into four performance groups according to seismic design category. Seismic performances of the frames were evaluated through the procedure based on FEMA P695. FEMA P695 utilizes nonlinear static analysis(pushover analysis) and nonlinear dynamic analysis(incremental dynamic analysis, IDA). In order to reflect the characteristics of Korean steel moment frames on the analytical model, the beam-column connection was modeled as weak panel zone where the collapse of panel zone was indirectly considered by checking its ultimate rotational angle after an analysis is done. The analysis result showed that the performance criteria required by FEMA P695 was satisfied when R-factor increased in all the soil conditions except SE.

In this paper, the a static experiment of on two reinforced concrete (RC) frame sub‐assemblages was conducted to evaluate the seismic behaviors of existing RC frames that were not designed to support a seismic load. The specimens were a one span and actual‐sized. One of them had two columns with the same stiffness, but the other had two columns with different stiffness values. As Regarding the test results, lots of many cracks occurred on the surfaces of the columns and beam‐column joints for the two specimens, but the cover concrete splitting hardly occurred was minimal until the test ends. In the case of the specimen with the same stiffness offor the two columns, the flexural collapse of the left‐side column occurred. However, in the case of the specimen with different stiffness values for of the two columns, the beam‐column joint finally collapsed, even though the shear strength of the joint was designed to be strong enough to support the lateral collapse load. The nonlinear Nonlinear static analysis of the two specimens was also conducted using the uniaxial spring model, and the analytical results successfully simulated the nonlinear behaviour of the specimens in accordance with the test results.

Hybrid surveys using hydroacoustic and fish sampling gears such as trammel net, trap were conducted to investigate total biomass, distribution and dominant fish species of the demersal fishes in the marine ranching area (MRA) of Jeju. Four surveys were carried out in June, August, October and November using 38kHz quantitative echo sounder. Catch data using trammel net and trap were used to calculate biomass and to examine dominant fish species. Fish schools were mainly detected in the waters of 20 meters below and around Chagwido waters. By the result of fishing experiments, fish species living in MRA of Jeju were about 40 species, dominant fish species of a detectable fish such as Family Sparidae and Family Monacanthidae etc. were identified 59.4~68.8% of total biomass. Based on the hydroacoustic data, fish length-weight function and target strength information, mean density of the demersal fish estimated were as follows; 0.88g/m2 on June, 1.12g/m2 on August, 1.35g/m2 on October and 1.18g/m2 on November. An estimated average biomass in MRA of Jeju was founded 20.5 tons in 2007, 20.6 tons in 2008, 23.0 tons in 2009, 25.9 tons in 2010. The results showed that biomass of MRA is getting increased slowly. Therefore the hybrid survey method using hydroacoustic and fish sampling gears is assured an effective biomass survey in the waters of mixed species.
