The purpose of this study is to select a fishing gear deposit marking method for the gear deposit system implemented for gillnet. The fishing gear deposit system was implemented in Korea for the first time in the world in January 2024 for fish trap, and it is scheduled to be expanded to gillnets and buoys by 2026. In this study, an AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) survey was conducted with 34 experts. The AHP analysis method was used to calculate the weights of each criterion that influence the selection of the deposit marking method, in order to determine the optimal marking method that considers both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Experts prioritized the label-type marking and preferred the weight-based deposit unit for its ease of application and ability to measure multiple gear widths at once. This study quantitatively reflects the opinions of experts on the selection of the gillnet deposit system. Future research should examine the impact of marking method on fishing performance, durability, and institutional improvements.

The launcher of a hard-kill type APS (Active Protection System) requires rapid and precise driving to aim at incoming threats after detection. High angular acceleration is necessary for rapid driving, which demands high energy consumption. However, the capacity of the capacitor bank and power supply unit is limited due to weight and space constraints. If energy becomes insufficient during continuous operation, the voltage of the capacitor bank can drop below the minimum operating voltage of the drive motor, leading to problems such as torque deficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to determine an allowable angular acceleration that satisfies precision within the available energy and generate a driving profile accordingly. This paper proposes a method for deriving an allowable angular acceleration by analyzing the allowable energy and validates it through simulation. We examined the allowable energy by verifying the charged voltage of the capacitor bank, formulated equations for energy at the point of maximum consumption, and derived an equation for allowable angular acceleration through numerical analysis. By applying the proposed algorithm in simulations, we confirmed that the voltage of the capacitor bank did not drop below the minimum operating voltage of the driving motor during three consecutive operations. Therefore, it is expected that the stability of the APS launcher can be improved by applying the proposed algorithm, and continuous operation with limited performance is anticipated to be possible.

Following the implementation of the Act on the Prevention of Light Pollution Due to Artificial Lighting in 2013, local governments designated lighting environment management zones and conducted assessments of the impacts of light pollution on the environment to ensure compliance with acceptable light emission standards. In addition, according to the Act on the Prevention of Light Pollution Due to Artificial Lighting, local governments conduct and manage light pollution assessments every three years. However, measuring and analyzing during nighttime requires a significant amount of time and labor. Therefore, this research aims to improve the current light pollution environmental impact assessment method by utilizing aerial information from satellite data and establishing a database of light pollution assessment methods, thereby laying the foundation for light pollution management. In this study, a reference light source was installed on the ground, and the luminance measurements of the installed reference light source and the advertising light sources on-site were analyzed to derive brightness values for ground light sources using the optical band (R, G, B) values from aerial information derived from satellite images. The analysis produced predictive equations for light pollution from upward lighting and general advertising lighting. When these equations were applied to residential and commercial areas in the lighting environment management area, the results indicated that the predicted rooftop upward lighting prediction brightness exceeded the acceptable standard of light emission of 800 cd/m2 in residential areas, and the advertisement lighting prediction brightness exceeded the standard of 1,000 cd/m2 in commercial areas.

The focus of this study was on the preparation of a clinoptilolite-based adsorbent, utilizing natural zeolite, to adsorb and remove ammonia (NH3) emitted from various environmental facilities, and to evaluate its performance. To create an adsorbent suitable for humid environments, hydrophobicity was introduced through HCl acid treatment. The impact of acid concentration and treatment time was analyzed to optimize the preparation conditions. As a result, the adsorbent treated with 0.5 M HCl for 2 hours demonstrated the highest NH3 adsorption performance. These findings suggest that the developed adsorbent could serve as an effective solution for controlling NH3 emissions in humid environments, contributing to the mitigation of environmental pollution and odor issues.

This study proposes a steel plate retrofit method and a polyurea method to improve the structural stability and usability of a factory floor slab with a thickness of 120mm. To assess vibration changes, vibrations were measured before and after retrofit. A numerical analysis model was also developed to evaluate improvements in structural safety and usability. The natural frequency increased from 11.4Hz to 17Hz through steel plate reinforcement, confirming an increase in slab stiffness. The damping ratio increased from 2.3% to 3.2% with polyurea reinforcement, indicating improved vibration reduction. Additionally, numerical analysis modeling showed that the natural frequency increased from 13.9Hz to 16.2Hz due to the steel plate reinforcement, enhancing the dynamic characteristics of the floor slab and confirming the reliability of the analysis model.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to prevent slip accidents on manhole covers located on sidewalks and local roads as well as to propose reasonable slip resistance management standards for manhole covers. METHODS : Using field surveys, test groups were classified based on the patterns and wear amounts of the manhole covers. Standards for measuring the equipment and methods for slip resistance were established, and the slip resistance values were compared and analyzed for each manhole cover test group. RESULTS : According to the slip resistance test results, micro-protrusions on the non-slip manhole covers were found to be effective in improving slip resistance. However, in areas without microprotrusions, the improvement in slip resistance was minimal and yielded results similar to those of standard manhole covers. In addition, among the pattern types of standard manhole covers, the radial pattern was found to be the most susceptible to slipping. Under the current wear measurement standards, the change in slip resistance at different wear stages was found to be relatively small. Moreover, manhole covers had the lowest slip resistance among road surface structures, indicating the need to establish management standards for them. CONCLUSIONS : To prevent pedestrian slip accidents on sidewalks and local roads, it is necessary to ensure that the slip resistance standards of manhole covers are higher than those of sidewalks.

Due to the rapid advancements in power distribution, television, and telecommunication, aerial cables have been rampant in urban cities. Aerial cables, while cost-effective, contribute to visual pollution, pose safety hazards, and complicate urban planning. To solve these challenges, many cities are exploring new ways to construct these cables without the use of high poles and one of the solutions is transitioning to underground cable by minitrenching method. Minitrenching offers a less invasive, more efficient solution for underground cable deployment. This study highlights the potential of innovative minitrenching materials to enhance underground cable protection while addressing the limitations of aerial cable installations in urban settings. Three minitrenching materials were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in protecting underground cables from heavy truck loads using finite element method (FEM). The materials tested were: (1) sand backfill with asphalt concrete surface, (2) cement mortar backfill with self-compacting mastic asphalt surface, and (3) cement mortar backfill with asphalt concrete surface. Results showed that the proposed materials (cement mortar and self-compacting mastic asphalt) significantly reduced strain on the underground cable compared to traditional materials (sand and asphalt concrete). The strain values decreased from 713 microstrains with traditional materials to 333 microstrains with the proposed materials, representing a reduction of approximately 53%. The third combination, intended as a maintenance material, yielded an intermediate strain value of 413 microstrains, demonstrating its acceptability as a minitrenching material.

이수식 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 발생하는 부산물인 필터케이크를 유동성 채움재로의 재활용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 다양한 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 필터케이크를 굵은골재 및 잔골재와 혼합하여, 필터케이크의 함량 비율을 증가시키면서 세 가 지 배합(Case 1, Case 2, Case 3)을 구성하였다. 강도 발현을 위한 바인더로는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트를 사용하였으며, 물- 시멘트비(w/c)를 변화시켜 플로우 시험, 블리딩 시험, 압축강도 시험을 통해 유동성 채움재로서의 가능성을 평가하였다. 시험 결과, 필터케이크 함량이 증가할수록 혼합물의 유동성은 저하되었으며, 이를 보완하기 위해 혼합수의 양을 증가시 키며 적정한 범위의 유동성을 확보하도록 하였으나, 혼합수의 양이 많아질수록 압축강도가 크게 감소하는 경향을 보였 다. 특히, 필터케이크 함량이 가장 높은 Case 3에서는 이러한 현상이 두드러지게 나타났으며, 반면 필터케이크 함량이 적 은 Case 1에서는 상대적으로 높은 강도가 발현되었다. 또한, 필터케이크 함량이 적을수록 혼합물의 유동성은 혼합수량에 민감하게 변화하였다. 블리딩은 필터케이크의 혼합 비율에 영향을 받았으며, 필터케이크 함량이 가장 높은 Case 3에서 블리딩이 가장 적게 발생하였다. 이는 필터케이크의 높은 수분 흡수율이 블리딩 감소에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 유동성, 강도, 블리딩 사이의 균형을 맞추기 위한 적절한 배합비 설정을 통해 TBM 공법 부산물인 필터케이크는 유 동성 채움재로 재활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 평가하였다.
