These obscrvations were performed to investigate the safety of the natural herbs (Rhus-lI) in respect of genotoxicity. This substance was examined in two in-vitro tests : (1) Salmonella typhinurium reversion assay (Ames test) in strain TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537, (2) in vitro chromosome aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In the reverse mutation test, Rhus-II did not induced mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay(Ames test) with or without metabolic activation. In the chromosome aberration assay using CHO cells. there was no increased incidence of structural and numerical aberrations with or without metabolic activation. `these results indicated that, the Rhus-II had no genotoxicity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the four week repeated toxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats orally administrated with Rhus-II (water fraction of Rhus Veniciflua). In acute toxicity test, three groups (40 rats of both sex) were administrated different dosages of Rhus-II, 2 g/kg (high dosage group), 1 g/kg, 0.5 g/kg and one group (10 rats of both sex) were received by orally only saline according to the Regulation on Korea Food and Drug Administration, respectively. There was no difference in body weight change, feed intake and water consumption among different dose groups. There was no alteration in relative organ weight by the administration of Rhus-Il. No death of abnormal clinical signs was observed during the experimental period. Between the groups orally administered Rhus-II and the control group. there was no statistical significance in urinalysis, hematological test or serum biochemical values. There were no gross findings at final sacrifice. There was no evidence of histopathological alteration mediated by four week treatment with Rhus-ll. These results suggest that no observable effect level(NOEL) of the test orally administration was considered to be more than 2g/kg in rats under the conditions employed in this study.

과거 지진가속도계측기는 “지진·화산재해대책법” 제6조, 제7조에 따라 2010년 고시된 “지진가속도계측기 설치 및 운영기준”에 의거 시설물 관리주체가 설치 및 운영 되었다. 하지만 시설물 관리주체에서는 구조물별 가속도 관측을 수행하고 있으나 지진 발생 시, 이를 활용하지 않거나 최대 가속도 데이터만 저장, 이용하고 있는 실정으로 데이터의 활용도를 제고할 수 있는 방안 마련의 필요성이 제기되었다. 따라서 “지진가속도 응답신호를 활용한 공공시설 안전관리 기술개발” 연구를 통해서 지진가속도 응답신호 종합분석 시스템이 개발되었다. 하지만 안전성평가를 위한 연구는 “지진가속도계측기 설치 및 운영기준” 제9조에서 정의하는 9개항의 시설물 중 건축물에 해당하는 시설물에 제한적으로 적용되었기에 추가적인 연구가 필요한 실정이다.

In order to evaluate the seismic safety of weir structure subjected to seismic ground motions, simple linear elastic 2D plane strain Finite Model (FE) was developed in ABAQUS platform. Also, the 1994 Northridge earthquake as a ground motion uncertainty was selected. The numerical results showed that the compressive stress was significantly increased in comparison to the results from the design spectrum analysis but the horizontal displacement was reduced about 28%.

댐 및 하천제방에 대한 위험도 해석을 위해 유역의 상류부에 두 개의 댐이 공존하고 있는 하천유역에 적용하였다. 그 결과, A댐의 경우 200년 빈도의 강우조건에 대해서는 안전했으나 PMP 조건하에서 위험도를 나타내고 있었고, B댐의 경우는 200년 빈도 및 PMP 조건하에서 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 유역의 유출계수, 초기수위 및 댐과 여수로와 관련된 자료의 불확실도를 고려하여 계산된 위험도는 Monte-Carlo 기법과 AFOSM 기법에 있어 대등한 결
