This study was conducted to develop a reservoir modelling workflow to reproduce the heterogeneous distribution of effective permeability that impacts on the performance of SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage), the in-situ bitumen recovery technique in the Athabasca Oil Sands. Lithologic facies distribution is the main cause of the heterogeneity in bitumen reservoirs in the study area. The target formation consists of sand with mudstone facies in a fluvial-to-estuary channel system, where the mudstone interrupts fluid flow and reduces effective permeability. In this study, the lithologic facies is classified into three classes having different characteristics of effective permeability, depending on the shapes of mudstones. The reservoir modelling workflow of this study consists of two main modules; facies modelling and permeability modelling. The facies modelling provides an identification of the three lithologic facies, using a stochastic approach, which mainly control the effective permeability. The permeability modelling populates mudstone volume fraction first, then transforms it into effective permeability. A series of flow simulations applied to mini-models of the lithologic facies obtains the transformation functions of the mudstone volume fraction into the effective permeability. Seismic data contribute to the facies modelling via providing prior probability of facies, which is incorporated in the facies models by geostatistical techniques. In particular, this study employs a probabilistic neural network utilising multiple seismic attributes in facies prediction that improves the prior probability of facies. The result of using the improved prior probability in facies modelling is compared to the conventional method using a single seismic attribute to demonstrate the improvement in the facies discrimination. Using P-wave velocity in combination with density in the multiple seismic attributes is the essence of the improved facies discrimination. This paper also discusses sand matrix porosity that makes P-wave velocity differ between the different facies in the study area, where the sand matrix porosity is uniquely evaluated using log-derived porosity, P-wave velocity and photographically-predicted mudstone volume.

This study focuses on having a temperature and water pressure effects on the change of material properties of rocks. Granite and limestone specimens from Gagok Mine were thermally treated with predetermined temperatures of 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ (excepting $700^{\circ}C$ for limestone) to estimate the reduction of material properties of rocks caused by heat. Specific gravity, effective porosity, elastic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for pre-heated specimens were measured. With increasing temperature, material properties of both rock specimens change sequentially. Significant changes of specific gravity, effective porosity and elastic wave porosity occur above $400^{\circ}C$ for granite and $300^{\circ}C$ for limestone. Changes of uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio seem to be similar to those of physical properties. GSI of 500, 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ specimens inferred by using uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus of preheated granite specimens is found to be 81, 66 and 58 each. In case of pre-heated limestone specimens of 400, 500 and $600^{\circ}C$, the corresponding GSI is 76, 71 and 65 each. 500, 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ granite specimens and 400, 500 and $600^{\circ}C$ limestone specimens were pressurized to 7.5 MPa and their effective porosity, elastic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus were measured. The average value of material properties (mentioned above) of 500, 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ granite specimens under water pressure compared with material properties of non-pressurized pre-heated specimens exhibits the reduction of 7.6, 11.3 and 14.9%, respectively. In case of 400, 500 and $600^{\circ}C$ limestone specimens under water pressure, the average value of material properties decreases by 8.2, 13.8 and 21.9%, respectively.

This paper aims to calculate the increase in groundwater quantity following groundwater dam construction, and to assess its impact on surface water. In the study area of Osib-cheon, Yeongdeok, we estimated groundwater quantity, groundwater level, and effective porosity, and examined surface water fluctuations with respect to the increased groundwater quantity based on the flow duration. The results reveal that the increased groundwater quantity was at most $91,746m^3$ in the total drainage basin of the groundwater dam, and the reduced groundwater quantity was at most $11,259m^3$ in the lower zone of the groundwater dam. Therefore, the total groundwater resources secured was $80,487m^3$ and the decrease in groundwater quantity was just 12.27% of the amount of increase. There were changes in discharge rate by up to $3.00{\times}10^{-2}m^3/s$, as deduced from an analysis offlow duration as a result of groundwater dam construction. The overall difference between before and after construction of the dam was almost insignificant compared with the previous dam. The present results indicate that dammed groundwater can serve as an alternative water resource with sufficient quantity.

The purpose of this study is to utilize recycled concrete aggregates as permeable pavement materials. This study evaluates mechanical properties and durability of porous concrete depending on mixing rates of recycled aggregates and polyme. As a result, void ratio and permeability coefficient of porous concrete for pavement increased a little as mixing rate of recycled aggregates increased. Void ratio and permeability coefficient increased a lot as mixing rate of polymer increased. As polymer was mixed $20\%$, national regulation of permeable concrete for pavement($8\%$ and 0.01cm/sec) was met. Compressive strength and flexural strength decreased as mixing rate of recycled aggregates increased but they increased a lot as mixing rate of polymer increased. Even when recycled aggregates were mixed $75\%\;with\;10\%$ polymer mixed, national regulation of pavement concrete(18MPa and 4.5MPa) was met. In addition, regarding sliding resistance, BPN increased as mixing rate of recycled aggregates increased. But BPN decreased as polymer was mixed. Compared to crushed stone aggregates, abrasion resistance and freeze-thaw resistance decreased as mixing rate of recycled aggregates Increased. When polymer was mixed, abrasion resistance and freeze-thaw resistance improved remarkably. Compared to non-mixture, $10\%$ mixture of polymer improved abrasion resistance and freeze-thaw resistance about $8.6\%$ and 3.8times respectively.

This research was conducted to determine physical properties of four root media, peatmoss + vermiculite (1:1, v/v; PV), peatmoss + composted rice hall (1:1, PR), peatmoss + composted saw-dust (1:1 : PS) and peatmoss + composted pine bark (1:1 PB), as influenced by incorporation rate of Stock-sorb C (STSB). Each root medium containing STSB was packed in 22 cm diameter plastic pot and the physical properties were determined at 5 weeks after packing. As incorporation rate of STSB were elevated, total porosity increased in PV, PS and PB media with statistical differences at $5{\%}$ level. Those also resulted in increase of container capacity in PS and PB media, but statistical differences were not observed in PV and PR media. Elevated incorporation rate of STSB in PV, PS and PB media resulted in increase of air space with statistical differences. Trends in air space of the three root media showed a linear as well as quadratic responses to STSB contents of media. As incorporation rate of STSB increased, more water was retained in four root media at the soil moisture tension of 4.90 kPa, 9.81 kPa, 29.4 kPa and 1.5 MPa. The amount of water retained in PS medium was the highest at the moisture tension at 29.4 kPa and 1.5 MPa followed by PB, PR and PV medium. These results indicated that elevation of incorporation rate of STSB to various root media increased moisture retention capacity, but did not increase the available water holding capacity.

This research was aimed to analyze load sharing ratios between cortical shell and trabecular bone of a degraded lumbar vertebra with aging, and also evaluate elastic moduli assigned into an FE model, using finite element method. For the better analysis of trabecular bone, effective elastic moduli, that is, nominal elastic moduli divided by the volumetric porosities was used. The elastic moduli of the cortical shell suitable for the trabecular bone were obtained from the equations on the basis of idealized stress-strain relations, including areal porosities. To minimize numerical errors, p-element was used. Using eight parameters that refer to some published papers, the geometry of L3 with a removed posterior part. After the constant compressive displacement was applied, the load sharing ratios were obtained by using both every elastic strain energy and every vertical force between two bones in each 8-volume. As results, 1) according to an increase in age from 20-year to 80-year, load sharing ratios of trabecular bone decreased from 55% to 49%; 2) the maximal ratios of each bone were occurred in the mid-plane of centrums and the endplate of cortical shells, respectively; 3) effective elastic moduli assigned into a porous centrum/cortex were found to be adequate; 4) for load sharing ratios, the difference of two methods showed that the total ratios were almost same within less than 1% but the partial ratios at every depth were more or less different each other.

최근 기후변화로 인한 국지성 집중호우와 태풍 등으로 홍수피해가 급증하고 있음에 따라 침수지역에 대한 공간적인 분석과 사전 예측으로 피해를 최소화하려는 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소유역 별 평균화된 매개변수로 홍수량을 산정하는 집중형 모형이 아닌 분포형 모형을 적용하여 남강댐 유역의 유출량 산정 및 침수예측을 분석하였다. 분포형 모형은 격자체계를 기반으로 유역에 각 격자별 공간적 특성이 반영된 매개변수를 적용하므로 유역의 특성을 효과적으로 반영하므로 집중형 모형보다 정확한 해석이 가능하다. DEM, 토양도, 토지피복도 등의 격자크기 $240{\times}240$의 지형공간 자료를 ArcGIS를 이용하여 남강댐유역의 Flow direction, 경사도, 하도경사, 불투수율, 유효공극률, 조도계수, 토양심도, 수리전도도, 토양흡인수두 등의 수문매개변수를 추출하였다. 강우 자료의 경우 티센(Thiessen)법에 의해 선정된 남강댐유역 주변의 장수, 거창, 진주, 합천, 산청, 남원 강우관측소의 100년빈도 확률강우량 산정하여 24시간 확률강우를 3분위 Huff 분포시킨 후 강우의 공간적 통계특성을 반영하는 크리깅(Kriging)기법으로 적용하여 강우보간을 실시하였다. 침수예측을 위해 $Vflo^{TM}$모형을 이용해 48시간의 강우모의시간 홍수수문곡선 유도 및 홍수량 산정하였으며, 시간에 따른 침수 시뮬레이션하여 침수예측도를 작성하였다. 작성 시 침수심의 정도에 따라 5개의 구간으로 분류해 침수위험지역을 확인 할 수 있도록 도식화하였다. 본 연구에서는 남강댐유역의 침수위험지역을 개략적으로 예측할 수 있었으며, 추후 연구에서는 보다 조밀한 격자크기와 강우를 이용하여 분석한다면 향후 피난 정보 제공과 홍수재해지도 작성, 홍수방지 시설물 건설 또는 홍수보험계획 등에 응용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

참취(Aster scaber)는 국화과에 속하는 여러해살이식물로 취나물로 분류되어 전국에서 재배되고 있으며 주로 남부지역에서 조기재배 작형으로 많이 재배하고 있다. 참취의 잎과 줄기는 맛과 향기가 독특하여 예로부터 생채, 묵나물 등으로 이용되어 왔으며 칼슘, 철분, 비타민 A 등이 풍부하여 건강식품으로서도 가치가 높고 한약재로도 사용되기도 한다. 최근에는 항암효과와 더불어 콜레스트롤을 저하시키는 약리적 효능이 있는 것으로 밝혀져 기능성 식품으로도 각광 받고 있다. 참취 시설재배 시 통상 3년 마다 갱신이 이루어지고 있는데 그 이유로는 시설재배지 특성상 양분의 과다투입에 의한 염류집적과 잦은 관수로 물리성이 악화되어 참취의 생육이 저하되어 수량이 감소하는 결과를 초래한다. 본 연구는 토양개량제 처리에 따른 참취의 생육과 토양 물리화학성에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 참취 시설재배 농가에 활용할 수 있는 방안을 개발하고자 시험을 수행하였다. 2018년 4월부터 2019년 9월까지 전라북도 농업기술원 허브산채시험장에서 참취 시설재배를 대상으로 하고 무처리, 볏짚 1,000 kg/10 a, 왕겨 숯 1,000 kg/10 a, 야자섬유 1,000 kg/10 a, 4처리구로 하여 시기별 생육 및 토양특성을 조사하였다. 수확기 참취 생육특성은 초장은 25.6~27.2 cm, 엽장은 8.5~9.7 cm, 엽폭은 6.3~7.0 cm, 경직경은 4.3~4.6 cm, 및 수량은 $3.3{\sim}4.0kg/3.3m^2$으로 볏짚 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 좋은 생육 상황을 보였으며 수량성 또한 많았다. 시험 후 토양화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 토양 pH는 7.4~7.5, 토양유기물 함량은 34~36 g/kg, 유효인산 함량은 386~415 mg/kg 이었으며 처리 전 토양에 비하여 유기물 함량은 증가하고 유효인산은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 치환성 양이온 K, Ca, Mg는 K는 $0.8{\sim}1.0cmol_c/kg$로 낮아졌고, Ca와 $8.9{\sim}10.1cmol_c/kg$, Mg는 $3.1{\sim}3.4cmol_c/kg$로 증가하였다. 토양물리성의 변화는 왕겨숯 시용에서 대조구에 비해 가장 낮은 용적밀도 $1.22g/cm^3$와 가장 높은 공극률 54.09%을 보였다. 토양 삼상은 고상은 볏짚에서 51.98%로, 액상은 야자섬유에서 28.64%로, 기상은 왕겨숯에서 29.35%로 가장 높았다. 참취 시설재배지 토양개량제 시용함으로써 토양의 유기물함량 증가와 토양의 용적밀도 감소와 토양양 공극율 증가 등 토양의 물리 화학성을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 2년차 시험 결과로서 3년차에 재검토할 계획이다.
