The collapse of the underground cavity can cause the abrupt local subsidence of the ground surface. It can be hazardous to the stability of road and building for human activity. Therefore it is necessary to develop reinforcement methods for the filling of the underground cavity. This study was executed to improve the material quality and systems to fill the calcium-aluminate mineral $(C_{12}A_7)$ environmentally, and minimize the loss of filling materials for the steep underground cavity. Filling material which was developed in this study is composed of rapid hardening material and additives. The developed material had rapid hardening and non-separation ability in the water cavity condition, so it made the effective underground dam in the cavity with prevention of material loss when it was poured in the water cavity. Results of heavy metal leaching test for environmental assessment showed that it was environmentally suiTable material for the filling in the mine cavity.

This study presents a method to calculate carbon dioxide emissions of diesel vehicles operated in an underground mine using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). An underground limestone mine in Korea was selected as the study area. A GIS database was constructed to represent the haulage roads as a 3D vector network. The speed of dump trucks at each haulage road was investigated to determine the carbon dioxide emission factor. The amount of carbon dioxide emissions related to the truck's haulage work could be calculated by considering the carbon dioxide emission factor at each haulage road and the haulage distance determined by GIS-based optimal route analysis. Because diesel vehicles are widely utilized in the mining industry, the method proposed in this study can be used and further improved to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in mining sites.

This paper intends to develop unit water production cost (UWPC) between alternative water resources including desalination, freshwater reservoirs, single-purpose dams, underground dams, and two indirect water in-take technologies - riverbank filtration and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR). The UWPCs of water supply schemes including each alternative are determined based on project cost, and operation and maintenance estimation models, which were developed based on real project cost data. The sensitivity analysis of UWPCs reveals that ASR is the lowest cost option in producing drinkable water among the alternatives, followed by riverbank filtration and underground dam. It is expected that economics related to the finding plays a critical role in supporting water resources planning and budget allocation for central and local water authority in Korea.

Several attempts to construct multi-purpose tunnel for both road and waterway have been made. The multi-purpose tunnel is mainly used as a road tunnel, however it is transferred to waterway to control flood during rainy season. The planning of the multi-purpose tunnel is recognized as cost-effective way of infrastructure construction. In case of the multi-purpose tunnel constructed beneath groundwater table, seasonal fluctuation of groundwater table and repeated flow in the tunnel may cause long-term deterioration of the tunnel system. In this study, the behavior of multi-purpose tunnel in view of groundwater table or flow in the tunnel is investigated using model test and numerical modeling method. The results have shown that rising of groundwater table caused buoyant force to the tunnel and the fluctuation of rainwater in the tunnel generated loosening of surrounding ground. It is recommended to evaluate the effect of the long-term water pressure variation in the design of a multi-purpose tunnel.

Excess pumping on the river bank filtration well causes the over drawdown in the protected area of bank, which may make many problems such as soil water contents, Pumping head in the irrigated land, and it needs more irrigation and development of the deeper irrigating well. In this study the installation of the artificial recharging well was suggested to reduce the excess draw down in the protected land. Artificial recharging wells were applied at the bank filtration site of Changwon city by using Visual-MODFLDW. The optimized conditions are calculated that the recharging well is located about loom apart from the pumping well, and the recharging rate is $5\%$ of the pumping yield.

Physical models of underground mines are very useful to the design of mine openings and the management of work progress of mining companies as well as to consulting. Even though 3D image realization techniques for mine openings have already been developed by various companies the physical models are still widely used because they can provide better understanding without sophisticated equipments for the most of people. Conventional materials for the physical models are paper and acryl which demand a lot of time and labor to make the model even with low precision and high cost. In this research, 3D printing technique is adopted to develop the physical model with relatively short time, low cost, and proper degree of precision. Finally the computer software "UMine2STL" was developed and verified by comparing the printed product with its design.

This case study introduces the construction of large cross section tunnel for underground ventilation system in Sillim-Bongcheon Tunnel Project. In order to grant the safety and efficiency in connecting the ventilation shaft (7.8 m of width, and 6.6 m of height) to a tunnel for axial fan facility (20.8 m of width, and 12.3 m of height), gradual enlargement of tunnel cross section was employed between those and temporary support method was determined based on Q system. In addition, some original designs were revised during construction stage to improve the efficiency of excavation in large cross section tunnel. The advance length was optimized and top heading of the tunnel was excavated without partition in accordance with ground condition and numerical stability analysis results. It is believed that some experiences and considerations in this case study will be useful for the future design and construction in similar large cross section tunnel such as large underground ventilation system or road tunnel with four lanes.

The logistics of ammunition stored in the underground ammunition warehouse has more difficulties than the logistics of ammunition stored on the ground due to the nature of the storage space. This study was conducted to solve the logistics of underground ammunition warehouse by improving these problems. And six items such as guard, safety, environment, supply system, equipment, facilities, and life management were selected for the improvement of logistics. And AHP was analyzed by Expert Choice program by conducting a survey to experts. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the importance was high in the order of safety, guard, life management, equipment facilities, supply system, and environment. Based on the selected items and the results of the survey, a plan to build a network-based integrated platform that can improve logistics in an underground ammunition warehouse was presented. This study will be used as a basis for the establishment of an integrated platform when constructing an underground ammunition warehouse in the future. This study can be applied to storage facilities that store other materials in the military, and it is expected to be applied to large commercial storage facilities.

정부는 2027년까지 식량자급률 55.4%를 달성하고, 채소·과실류 국내 공급 여력의 85% 수준을 유지하기 위한 적정 농지면적 150.0만ha가 필요하다고 추정하였다. 그리고 정부는 적정 면적 확보를 위해서 농지보전 목표가 포함된 중장기 기본계획을 수립할 예정이다. 이러한 식량자급률 달성과 채소 및 과실류 재배 면적 확보를 위해서는 논의 다각적인 활용 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 왜냐하면 최근 쌀 공급과잉 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 '양곡관리법'이 정치적 이슈로 등장할 만큼 쌀 공급과잉 해소와 논 농지의 효율적인 활용에 대해 사회적 관심이 많다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 최초로 논 배수 개선을 위해 지하암거가 설치된 경북상주시 공검면 일대를 대상으로 암거배수의 성과를 살펴보고 개선방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 지하암거 설치로 배수여건이 개선된 수혜농가 42명을 대상으로 심층면담을 실시하였다. 사례지역은 오태저수지를 기점으로 시작하는 공검소하천 양안에 넓게 위치하고 분지지형으로 하천보다 낮은 저지대로, 평상시·강수시 지하수위가 높아 습답이 형성되어 영농기계 사용이 어렵고, 일부지역의 경우 작물 파종, 수확을 하지 못하는 등 피해 발생하여 영농여건이 매우 불리한 지역이다. 이러한 배수불량을 개선하기 위해 수혜면적 55.6ha에 (지하)배수가 정비되었다. 이러한 배수 개선이 지역 영농에 미치는 효과는 다음과 같이 분석되었다. 첫째, 수혜구역 내 농가들은 배수불량으로 농기계 작업이 불편하고, 논의 습답을 제거하기 위해 해당 시설에 대한 필요성을 느끼고 있다. 또한 암거배수 시설로 인해 약 72% 농가들은 습답 개선의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전체 수혜농가의 약 72%는 암거시설로 인해 논의 습답이 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 암거시설로 인해 물빠짐이 개선되었고, 농기계 작업이 용이하게 되었다. 다만 사업 첫해에는 논을 파헤쳐 농기계가 빠지는 피해가 있었지만, 2차년도부터는 논이 정비되어 농기계 빠지는 피해는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 수혜 농가들이 느끼는 "습답 피해가 매우 있음"은 사업 시행 전 51.61%에서 사업 완료 후에는 4.17%로 급격히 감소하였다. 또한 "습답 피해가 전혀 없음"을 느끼는 농가는 사업 시행 전 3.23%에 불과했지만, 사업 완료 후에는 20.83%로 급증하였다.

배관을 지하에 매설할 경우 매설배관이 묻히는 깊은 도랑을 트랜치라 하는데 이 트랜치의 폭과 깊이의 칫수를 적절하게 결정하는 것은 매설배관의 건전성을 유지하는데 중요한 인자중의 하나이다. Watkins는 매설배관의 트랜치 폭에 대한 연구를 수행하여 최근 그 결과를 발표한바 있다. (1) Fig. 1에 트랜치와 배관의 단면도를 그리고 일반적으로 사용하는 기술적인 용어를 나타내었다.(중략)
