In order to prevent ground collapses by groundwater level drawdown, we need to understand the groundwater flow and also make an analytical approach to the cause of the collapses. In this study, we used the result of the soil lab tests to compare and review the suitability of the various interaction equations about the relation between volumetric water content and the dielectric constant. In addition, using GPR (Ground-Penetrating Radar), we reviewed the possibility of calculating an estimate of dielectric constant. Lastly, we applied seepage analysis and stress-strain analysis to the sandy ground given by ground excavation. In comparison with the previous result of the soil lab tests, we similarly predicted the suction of unsaturated soil from results of stress-strain analysis considered the seepage force for the unsaturated soil.

This study was performed to identify the presence of measurement distortions such as electrode polarization and to investigate the influence of soil water content on complex permittivity at low frequency. In low frequency measurement using two-terminal electrode system, electrode polarization effect was observed at frequencies less than approximately 100 HBz. The analysis for real permittivity should be performed at frequencies above 100 kHz in order to exclude electrode polarization effect in the analysis of real permittivity at low frequency measurements. For a given soil, both of real and effective imaginary permittivity of wet soil increased continuously with volumetric water content. This is evidenced by the facts that the real permittivity is proportional to the number of dipole moments per unit volume and effective imaginary permittivity is effected by the conduction due to water. However, proportional relation between real permittivity and volumetric water content is valid at upper MHz frequencies.

Laboratory experiments were performed to examine the effects of water content and to see if permittivity had sufficient sensitivity to identify subsurface contamination. Both real and imaginary permittivities of unsaturated sand were strongly governed by the volumetric water content. Especially, a linear relationship between real permittivity and volumetric water content was derived at high frequencies (MHz ranges). Heavy metals in pore fluid result in significant increases in the effective imaginary permittivity, due to ionic conduction, but decreases in the real permittivity arises due to the decreased orientational polarization of water molecules caused by hydration of ions. Clear increase in the effective imaginary permittivity with heavy metal concentration was found to be valuable in the application of electrical methods for detecting heavy metals in the subsurface. However, because the permittivity is primarily dependent on the volumetric water content of soil, pre-evaluation on the volumetric water content is required.

광역상수관은 원수 또는 정수를 자체 수자원확보가 어려운 지자체에 적기에 공급해주는 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 최근 자연재해에 및 관 노후, 공사 중 사고 등의 원인으로 광역상수관이 파손되는 사례가 발생되었다. 이와 같은 광역상수관의 파손은 상수 보급 수혜지역에 대한 단수피해가 발생될 뿐만 아니라 파손지점에서 상수유량의 분출으로 침수피해를 야기 시킬 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 광역상수관 파손에 따른 파손지역 주변부에서 유량 분출에 의한 침수양상 및 분출지점에 위치하고 있는 지하시설물(지하철 정거장)에 대한 침수피해 영향을 검토하였다. 침수양상 분석 방법은 광역상수관 파손시 분출유량 산정, 지형자료 구축, 표면류 흐름 계산, 침수범람도 작성 순으로 검토를 수행하였다. 광역상수관 파손에 따른 분출유량은 상수관 공급량 $770,000m^3/day$를 기준으로 초당 흐르는 유량(2차원 부정류 흐름 해석)으로 환산하여 유입조건으로 선정하고, 파손위치 및 분출유량에 따른 시나리오를 설정하였다. 광역상수관 파손에 따른 침수양상을 살펴본 결과, 파손 지점의 위치의 지형적 여건에 따라 최대 침수심 및 최대 침수 위치가 상이한 결과가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 정거장 주변부 최대 침수심은 0.50m로 정거장 노출부 최소 높이 0.65m(노출부 높이 - 지반고)보다 작은 수치이므로 광역상수관 파손에 따른 분출유량의 정거장 내부 유입은 없는 것으로 분석 되었다.

This paper presents the results of a field pilot test about deformation of water supply pipelines due to freezing temperature. There is a difference between for frost heaving load to act on the water supply pipelines. If the Marston-Spangler theory is only considered for the frost heaving load to act on the water supply pipeline, it is likely to deviate from the safety of the water supply pipeline, strains of the water supply pipeline show a tendency of smaller value than the value of numerical analysis.

Frost heaving and thawing settlement cause unexpected stress around buried pipelines, which results in deformation and permanent demage. A large scale laboratory test has been performed to observe deformation, stress, and temperature of a buried pipe during atmospheric temperature changes. From the experimental results, the stress concentrated around the buried pipe is inevitable and deformation is caused by the frost heaving. Even though backfill materials are sandy soils which are normally assumed to be non frost susceptible, it is revealed that frost demage can happen due to drainage condition, the level of ground water table, and water content.

By considering manufacture and economic factor, the steel pipes have been employed for water supply pipeline with large diameter. The standard to decide a thickness of pipe was provided by the waterworks standard (Ministry of Construction & Transportation, 1992) in South Korea. However, there was no the systematic standard to confirm a thickness of pipe in it. Thus, it should be able to apply to unsuitable the Stewart formula for the buried pipe to design for an optimum thickness of pipe. In order to meet revised the waterworks standard (The Ministry of Environment, 1997), it has been considered both the ground condition and all of the stresses to compute a thickness of pipe. As a results, a method is suggested to determine thickness of pipe after comparing and validating the obtained results with the established results from the Stewart formula.
