Mortality of clam, Meretrix lusoria was measured during the experimental cultures in different sediments compositions and in different salinities of sea water. Experimental groups maintained in silt and clay showed significant mortality, while those treated in sand and in sand-silt showed little mortality. In the groups cultured in silt and clay, young groups of approximately 2.5cm in shell length were subjected to early and high mortality (approximately eighty-five per cent in foully-one days). The larger the shell size was, the later and the lower the mortality occurred. In different salinity, the groups maintained in silt and clay showed different mortalities. It is observed that the survival rate of the shell in the sea water of low salinity was higher than that in the high salinity water. Oxygen consumption of isolated gill tissue showed a little difference between the groups maintained in silt and clay and those in sand (the control-group). Consequently, it may be stated that the mortality results mainly from the deposition of silt and clay, although the survival rate of Meretrix lusoria depends also on water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, body size ana other factors.

This paper presents the investigation of the major influence factors on the degree of soil plugging for open-ended piles based on the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) numerical technique. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of soil plugging on the response of piles in various conditions. Through comparison of the results of field load tests, the CEL methodology was found to be in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurement. Additionally, the parametric studies were performed by controlling the soil conditions, soil elastic moduli, end-bearing conditions and multi layers. It was found that the degree of soil plugging for sand layers was greater than that of clay layers. Also, the degree of soil plugging increased with an increase in both the soil stiffness and length of pile embedded in the bearing layer.

경기도 여주군의 R골프장에서 페어웨이 건설 시 토양조사 및 적절한 토양개량이 실시되지 않아 배수불량지역의 발생한 것으로 한 것으로 분석되었다. 원인 분석결과 토양 경화로 인한 토양 물리성이 악화되어 있어, 투수에 의한 토양 하부층으로의 배수능력이 저조하여 배수 불량의 직접 원인이 되었다. 또 재배 지역의 토양과 이식 지역의 토성이 달라 이식 후 토양에 이질층이 형성되어 수분의 하층 이동이 원활하지 못해 배수 불량의 원인되고 잔디의 생육이 나빠지게 되었다. 배수불량의 결과로 인해 토양 내 산소가 부족하게 되어 토양이 환원 상태가 되면서 혐기성 미생물의 생육이 증가하고, 메탄가스가 축적되고 악취를 유발시키며 토양의 공기순환이 자유롭지 못해 식재된 잔디의 뿌리 생장에 악영향을 주어 결과적으로 잔디 생육이 불량하게 되는 연쇄적인 문제가 발생하였다. 골프장 운영 중 잔디 지반의 문제로 잔디 생육 불량을 초래 할 수 있는 여러 가지 요인들을 제거하기 위해 골프코스 건설시 모재 토양의 사전 조사 및 잔디 지반으로서의 적합성에 대하여 반드시 실험 분석하여야 하며, 건설 후 지반의 배수불량을 개선하기 위해서 배수구 설치, Sand capping, 잔디 보식, 토양개량재의 사용, 배토 등 경종적 관리 등의 방법을 이용하여 배수불량지역의 개선과 잔디생육 정상화를 시행하였다.

This paper dealt with numerical analysis of sand drain considering the smear effect around drain wells and discontinuous deformation behavior due to difference in rigidity between drain materials and adjacent clayey soils. Biot's equation was selected as governing equation coupled with MODCAM (Modified Cam-clay) model or EVP(Elasto-Viscoplastic) model as constitutive equation. The validity as well as the accuracy of the method developed by author was checked by comparing the proposed method with those by Siriwardane and Ghaboussi using joint element. The FEM analysis developed in this study was applied to both 2-dimensional model foundation and actual foundation. the result of which proved to be satisfactory.

slaking 은 굴착에 의해 노출된 암반에서 발생하는 강도저하 및 입자간의 결합력 약화에 의해 암반이 세립화하는 현상이다. 이러한 slaking은 특히 퇴적암으로 구성된 암반사변의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자로 작용한다. slaking에 의한 암반사면의 불안정성은 신생대의 이질암이나 미고결 응회암에서와 같이 암반 자체의 강도 저하 및 결합력 약화에 의해 발생하는 붕괴현상과 차별풍화에 의해 이암 등이 급속도로 쇄굴 및 풍화되어 상부에 놓여 있는 암석이 낙석 등의 형태로 붕괴되는 현상으로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이암의 차별풍화에 의해 사면의 불안정성이 유발되는 연구지역을 대상으로 풍화 및 쇄굴 속도와 slake의 상관관계를 밝히고자하였다. 이를 위하여 slake test와 slake durability test를 수행하였으며 slake durability index를 획득하였다. 실험을 통해 획득된 slake durability index를 연간 쇄굴속도와 비교하여 상관관계를 검토하였으며 기존의 연구결과와 비교하여 slake durability index를 활용하여 쇄굴 정도를 예측할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

With the increasing use of geotextile mats in dredging and reclaiming work and coastal construction, the assessment of bearing capacity in soft ground has become an important evaluation index for negligent accidents. The review of the allowable bearing capacity of soft ground consisting of inhomogeneous layers by laying geotextile mats and sand mat layers for soft ground improvement is generally compared with the equation of Meyerhof (1974) and Yamanouchi (1985). Mayerhof formula results in economic loss due to underestimation of bearing capacity, and Yamanouchi (1985) formula does not take into account negligent accidents for punching shear failure, so rather high bearing capacity is evaluated. It is considered that economic feasibility and stability will be ensured by proposing a modified formula to calculate the appropriate bearing capacity by applying the seam tensile strength of the geotextile mat to the design standard of soft ground improvement.

Generally, the Box-Culvert in levee is destroyed by various reasons. Especially when Box-Culvert is installed over the pile foundation in soft ground, the failure occurrs for 1) the weakness of compaction in Box-Culvert side by the differential settlement between outer ground and inner soil prism, 2) hydraulic fracturing and disturbance of Box-Culvert side soil by the repeated acting of seepage pressure at flood time. Also the side of Box-Culvert is difficult to compact and the shear resistance is reduced by more than 1/3 for the reduction of friction caused by the difference of material property. In this study, a series of model tests are conducted for the analysis of the development mechanism of outer ground and inner soil prism by the differential settlement using the pile foundation in soft ground, and cavity suppressed technique is suggested by the analysis of base plate enlargement effect.

The shear stress characteristics of landslide materials can be affected by various factors. We examined the shear stress characteristics of two different soils using ring-shear apparatus, in which saturation-consolidation-shearing speed can be easily controlled. This paper presents (i) shear stress-time characteristics, (ii) shear stress depending on normal stress and shear speed and (iii) shear stress as a function of shearing speed. Materials used in this paper were the Nakdong River sand and muds taken from Jinhae coastal area in Korea. Samples were prepared in three types: Sand (upper)-Sand (lower), Clay (upper)-Clay (lower) and Sand (upper)-Clay (lower). The upper and lower indicate the samples placed in upper and lower ring shear boxes, respectively. For given normal stresses (50 and 100 kPa) and shearing speed (0.1 mm/sec), we performed ring shear tests. Then the failure lines were determined in the second test. Last, we determined the shear stress characteristics depending on different shearing speeds, such as 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 mm/sec. As a result, we found that shear stress characteristics are strongly dependent on above three factors. The shear stress of Sand (upper)-Clay (lower) is smaller than that of Sand (upper)-Sand (lower), but slightly larger than that of Clay (upper)-Clay (lower). The shear stress is also characterized by grain crushing and wetting process at slip surface.

This paper presents the two and three -dimensional stability analysis of nonhom- ogeneous, c-o soil slopes. Potential failure surface is assumed as a logspiral curve refracted in boundaries of layers. In 3-D analysis, rotational soil mass is assumed with a cylindroid central part terminated with plane ends. Seismic force is considered by sesmic intensity. The program developed in this study is compared with the program PCSTABLS. The ratio of three-dimensional minimum factor of safety to two-dimensional case is examined and factor of safety changes are showed for the ratio of cylindroid length to slope height and numbers of slice. On such bases the following conclusions may by made : (1) The program developed in this program is less conservative than the program PCSTABLS. (2) The value of F2 of this study shows the larger differences than that of PCSTABLS with increasing friction angle (3) Factors of safety computed for 3-D geometry differ considerablely from ordinary 2-D factors of safety. Since Fb/F2 exceeds unity, three -dimensional effects tend to increase the factor of safety. (4) As the ratio of three - dimensional failure width of slope height, b/H increase, the value of Fb/Ff decreases and approaches 1.0 when bye is 14. (5) In calculating the factor of safety using the developed program the number of slices is suitable with the ranges of 30-40

The Impact-Echo(IE) method has been used to evaluate the integrity of concrete structures. In this method, the P-wave velocity of concrete is a crucial parameter in determining the thickness of concrete lining, the location of cracks or other defects. In many field applications of the IE method, the P-wave velocity is obtained by testing the core or the portion of a structure where the exact thickness is known. Occasionally, however, the core can not be obtained in specific structures and the P-wave velocity determined from core testing may not be a representative value of the structure. This study introduces an IE-SASW method that may determine the P-wave velocity on a surface of each testing area using the Spectral Analysis of Surface Wave (SASW) method. Results obtained from numerical studies are presented in this paper (Part I), and results obtained from experimental studies are presented in the companion paper (Part II). In this paper, numerical analyses using ABAQUS were carried out to investigate the effectiveness and the limitations of the IE-SASW method.
