A deterministic approach of slope stability, which is generally corresponding to the model of a simple non-linear function for slopes, is problematic in that it does not account the versatile characteristics of ground layers in an effective way. To resolve this problem, this study proposes a new way of analyzing slope stability, so-called “genetic algorithm method, ” so as to reflect some particular conditions pertaining to the grounds under concern. Similarities and differences in slope stability that may exist between homogeneous and multiple ground layers are examined in a competitive manner, Overall, though similarities deemed a little bit salient, the algorithm method turned out to be very applicable to estimating the validity of slope stability. Furthermore, an additional effort to consider long-standing sequential and dynamic changes in both the amount of rainfall and the underground water level is made in order to improve the results.

Geo-layer information is important to determine pile length and estimate residual settlement in the construction site. An overall spatial distribution of geo-layers in the entire construction site can be predicted using drill-log information. In this study, the geo-layer distribution at Song-do area was estimated by kriging and inverse distance weighting methods, and a cross validation was adopted to verify the reliability of estimation results. The analysis results indicate that the best fitted theoretical variogram model to the experimental variogram does not always provide the most reliable estimation in the kriging method. The proper $\alpha$ value of inverse distance weighting method must be determined by types of geo-layer, because the $\alpha$ value is affected by types of geo-layer. Results of the kriging method show more reliable results than those of inverse distance weighting method, and the structure of geo-layer distribution could be evaluated by variogram in the kriging method.

The seismic velocity at the formation varies widely with physical properties in the layers. These features on seismic shot gathers are not capable of reproducing normally by numerical modeling of homogeneous medium, so that we need that of random inhomogeneous medium instead. In this study, we conducted Gaussian autocorrelation function (ACF), exponential autocorrelation function and von Karman autocorrelation function for getting inhomogeneous velocity model and applied a simple geological model. According to the results, von Karman autocorrelation function showed short wavelength to the inhomogeneous velocity medium. For numerical modeling for a gas hydrate, we determined a geological model based on field data set gathered in the East sea. The numerical modeling results showed that the von Karman autocorrelation function could properly describe scattering phenomena in the gas hydrate velocity model which contains an inhomogeneous layer. Besides, bottom-simulating-reflectors and scattered waves which appear at seismic shot gather of the field data showed properly in the inhomogeneous numerical modeling.

This paper deals with tomographic travel time inversion of three dimensional seismic refraction survey conducted over a dipping interface. The slowness, and thus velocity as its reciprocal, distribution on the subsurface interface is to be determined applying an ART with under-relaxtion parameter. The models chosen are realistic, i.e., most likely to be met in engineering seismics, and the interface includes anomalous zones. It is found that, generally speaking, the inversion could be misleading or meaningless without the correction of the dip of the interface. This is rather surprising when we recall that usual assumption for the interpretation of refraction seismics data is the horizontal attitude of structures within the limit of $15^{\circ}$ dip or so. To make the present method tenable for a new means of routine seismics, some practical ways of identifying head wave arrivals are to be devised.

Two-dimensional gravity and magnetic models were constructed for seismic profiles in Block Ⅵ-2, offshore Korea. For each seismic profile, a longer length model showing geometric configurations of all employed polygonal bodies and an expanded version of the area of interests were made. The results of this modeling study indicate 1) that the depth to the deeper basement surface appear to be shallower than indicated in the seismic sections, 2) that the Middle Miocene section (the bottom formations in the models) appears to contain significant amounts of volcanic materials, 3) that identification and/or determination of depth to the top of basement is difficult in the study area due to thick volcanic materials in the lowermost formation (Middle Miocene), and 4) that the study area is unfavorable for hydrocarbon generation and accumulation due to wide spread volcanic activities during the Middle Miocene Epoch. The maximum calculated depth to the magnetic basement in the study area is approximately $4{\cal}km$ sub-sea.

The national ground survey database (GeoInfo) distributes numerous ground survey data nationwide. Many standard penetration test results exist in this database; however, the number of shear wave velocity (V_S) data is small. Hence, to use abundant standard penetration test-N values to predict V_S, this study proposed a new empirical N-V_S relationship model using GeoInfo data. The proposed N-V_S model is a single equation regardless of geological layer types; the layer type only specifies the upper limit of V_S. To validate the proposed model, residual analysis was performed using a test dataset that was not used for the model development. Therefore, this study's proposed model performed better than N-V_S models from previous studies. Since the N-V_S model in this study was developed using sufficient data from GeoInfo, we expect that it is the most applicable to GeoInfo dataset for V_S prediction.

제주도는 용수의 대부분을 지하수에 의존하므로 지하수위의 예측 및 관리는 매우 중요한 사항이다. 제주도의 지층은 화산활동에 의한 현무암이 겹겹이 쌓여있는 형태를 나타내며 육지의 지층구조와 매우 다른 복잡한 형태를 나타낸다. 이에 따라 제주도 지하수위의 예측은 매우 난해하며, 최근에는 딥러닝 인공지능 모델을 활용하여 지하수위를 예측하는 연구사례가 증가하고 있다. 기존의 연구들은 인공지능 모델들이 지하수위를 적절히 예측한다고 보고하고 있으나 예측의 적절성에 대한 판단기준을 제시하지 못하였으므로 이에 대한 명확한 제시가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목표는 인공지능을 활용한 지하수위 예측오차가 허용 가능한지 판단할 수 있는 기준을 제시함에 있다. 이를 위해 전 세계의 과거 20년 동안 관련 연구결과들을 수집 및 분석하였으며, 분석 결과 인공지능 모델의 지하수위 예측오차는 지하수위 변동성이 큰 지역일수록 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이것은 지하수위의 변동형태가 크고 복잡할수록 인공지능 모델의 지하수위 예측성능은 낮아진다는 것을 의미한다. 이 관계를 명확하게 나타내기 위해 지하수위 최대변동폭과 평균제곱근오차 및 최대오차와의 관계를 선형회귀식으로 도출하여 허용가능한 예측오차 기준을 제시하였다. 그리고 기존 연구들에서 제시한 Nash-Sutcliffe 효율성지수와 결정계수를 분석하여 선형회귀식에 의한 기준을 보완할 수 있는 추가적인 기준을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 인공지능 모델에 의한 지하수위 예측결과의 적절성 판단기준은 향후 지속적으로 증가하는 인공지능 예측연구에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

해수침투는 대수층의 염분 농도를 증가시켜 지하수 염분화에 의한 용수의 부족 등을 야기시키며 다른 지하수 오염과 마찬가지로 회복에 대한 막대한 비용과 시간이 소모되어 피해지역에 대한 정확한 현황파악이 어려워 피해방지대책의 수립이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 흐름과 이송을 모의할 수 있는 GMS-FEMWATER 모델을 이용하여 대상지역의 지층구조를 구분하고 실제 대상지역의 지층과 동일하게 모델링하여 해안지역의 해수침투에 대한 특성을 규명하였다. 분석결과 양수기간이 길어 질수록 지하수두강하 폭이 양수기간 30일, 60일, 90일 및 180일 경과 시 초기 수위에서 점차 4.25m (1.36%), 3.5m (1.13%), 2.96m (0.97%), 1.97m (0.65%)으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 양수량이 많은 관정일수록 해수 침투가 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 양수기간 30일 0.59mg/l, 채수 60일 1.65mg/l, 채수 90일 3.14mg/l, 180일 5.55mg/l으로 분석되었다. 이결과로 볼 때 양수기간 초기에서 기간이 지날 수록 해수침투가 큰영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Migration image can be distorted due to reflected waves in the source and receiver wavefields when discontinuities of input velocity model exist in seismic imaging. To remove reflected waves coming from layer interfaces, it is a common practice to smooth the velocity model for migration. If the velocity model is smoothed, however, the subsurface image can be distorted because the velocity changes around interfaces. In this paper, we attempt to minimize the distortion by reducing reflection energy in the source and receiver wavefields through acoustic impedance homogenization. To make acoustic impedance constant, we define fake density model and use it for migration. When the acoustic impedance is constant over all layers, the reflection coefficient at normal incidence becomes zero and the minimized reflection energy results in the improvement of migration result. To verify our algorithm, we implement the reverse-time migration using cell-based finite-difference method. Through numerical examples, we can note that the migration image is improved at the layer interfaces with high velocity contrast, and it shows the marked improvement particularly in the shallow part.
