When vertical shafts are constructed in soft clay with low strength, there is a risk of basal heave, which causes the excavation surface to heave due to the low bearing capacity of the ground against the imbalance of earth pressure at the excavation surface. Methods of deriving a safety factor have been proposed to evaluate the stability against the basal heave. However, there are limitations in that it is difficult to accurately evaluate the heave stability because many assumptions are included in the theoretical derivation. In this study, assuming that a circular vertical shaft is constructed in soft clay, the existing safety factor equation proposed through a theoretical approach was supplemented. Bearing capacity according to the shaft geometry, inhomogeneity of the soil, and the effect of soil plug were considered theoretically and applied in a previous safety factor equation. A three-dimensional numerical analysis was conducted to simulate the occurrence of basal heave and review the supplemented equation through various case studies. Several series of case studies were conducted targeting various factors affecting heave stability. It was verified that the additionally considered characteristics were properly reflected in the supplemented equation. Furthermore, the effects of each factor constituting the safety factor equation were examined using the results of the numerical analysis performed by simulating various cases. It was confirmed that considering the undrained shear strength increment according to depth had the most significant effect on the calculation of the safety factor.

Mine closure does often accompany the flooding of mine galleries due to ceasing a pumping operation. When a mine gallery is flooded, rocks around the gallery are fully saturated and the gallery is subject to a water pressure. The uniaxial unconfined compressive strength of a rock depends on its water content and decreases as the water content increases. A water pressure may originate the crack growth of a rock or the discontinuity growth of rock mass. Although the water in a gallery will give some support pressure inside the gallery, the degradation of rock mass properties caused by a water pressure will reduce the stability of the gallery. In this study, 2-dimensional discontinuous and 3-dimensional continuous numerical analyses have been conducted to evaluate an effect that a reduction of rock mass properties around the gallery induced by a water pressure has on the stability of mine gallery. The numerical analyses show that a reduction of rock mass properties caused by a water pressure increases displacements of rock mass around mine gallery. 2-dimensional model is found to give larger values of displacement than 3-dimensional model.

In this study, the performance-based evaluation factors for rock slopes have been deducted using Delphi-method. Validity of the result was verified through factor analysis. Performance of rock slope is classified as soundness, stability and durability. Through the Delphi survey, 17 factors including discontinuity orientation are deducted for soundness, 4 factors and 3 factors are selected for stability and durability, respectively. Validation is conducted using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for 24 factors, and all factors are found to be valid. As a result of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), 3-types of performance were subdivided into internal soundness, external soundness, risk, damage and durability of slopes and protection (reinforcement) facilities.

급속한 도시화 및 이상강우의 발생은 우수 량을 증가시켜 하류부의 천변주변과 저지대에 대한 침수위험을 증대시키므로 풍수해 예방을 위해 각 시 도 지자체에서는 이러한 지역을 방재지역으로 지정하여 방재대책을 수립하고 있다. 본 연구는 침수피해 위험이 높은 광영동 하광마을을 연구대상지역으로 선정하여 상습침수구역을 토대로 현장조사를 실시하였다. 현장조사에서 과거 1988년 6월 택지 조성이 준공도면과 현 주택가 침수지역 침하량 분석결과 택지조성 당시보다 대략 0.4m이상 침하가 발생한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 우수관거에 대해 침하조사를 실시하였으며, 그 결과 1998년 우수관거 정비 사업을 실시하여 현재 관거침하 및 관거유실은 발생하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 현재 관가 실태는 우수발생시 약간의 토사유입으로 인해 부분적으로 퇴적된 구간이 조사되었으나, 일반적인 모래 질이며 퇴적깊이는 5~15cm정도이고 이는 강우발생시 우수 관거의 일반적인 토사 퇴적 침식 작용의 현상으로 판단되었다. 외수침수는 해안도로 지반침하와 조성당시의 조위에 의한 계획 고는 적용되었으나 하천 계획홍수위의 미적용으로 인해 강우발생시 조위 상승과 하천유출과의 관계에 있어 상습침수지역의 천변 해안도로로 외수유입이 발생 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 과거 침수실적을 바탕으로 기상조건 및 조위조건 등을 고려하여 HEC-HMS모형을 적용하여 9개의 소유역으로 분할된 유역에서 홍수유출량을 분석하였으며, 외수위 조건을 SWMM모형에 적용하여 우수관거 검토를 실시하였다. 그 결과 대상구역 조위 상승으로 우수관거의 내수배제가 되지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 분석들로 외수유입 방지대책으로 조위영향 및 하천 계획홍수위를 고려하여 20년, 100년 빈도별 외수위를 산정하고 방지대책으로 도로 숭상 및 파라펫 설치방안을 검토하였다. 내수침수 방지대책으로 저류조+배수펌프+게이트펌프 또는 관로신설+게이트펌프를 설치, 복합방식 (지하저류조+승수로(도로 또는 산지)+게이트펌프장)설치, 도수터널계획 방안을 제시하여 상류지역에 발생하는 유출량을 유출부로 직접 배출하거나 침수영향이 없는 타 지역으로 연계 방류하여 총 유출량을 저감시키는 방안을 제시하였다. 이와 같은 여러 방안을 제시함으로써 관련 지자체에서는 보다 효과적인 침수방지 대책계획에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The slopes of open-pit mine are typically designed without considering the reinforcement and support method due to the economical efficiency. However, the long-term stability of final pit slope is needed in some case, therefore the appropriate measures that can improve the stability are required. In this study, the field survey and laboratory test were carried out in S limestone mine. The stability assessment of final pit slope was performed through the stereographic projection method, SMR, and numerical analysis. And countermeasures for stabilization were proposed. The results of analysis show that full scale of slope failure is not expected but the failures of bench slope scale are likely to occur. In oder to increase the stability of bench slope, we suggested the remedial methods as follows: excavating the final pit slope by pre-splitting blasting, placing the wide berm in the intermediate bench slope and installing the horizontal drainage hole in the place of local ground water runoff.

Concrete pavement of Jungbu Expressway composed of CRCP(Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement) and JCP(Jointed Concrete Pavement). The CRCP was firstly constructed and applied to new expressway in Korea. It is a good source of the study to analyze the performance of CRCP and JCP because it experiences same amount of traffic and environmental loading. Up to the present, condition survey has conducted several times during 13 years but roughness measurement has not been carefully conducted. Through comparisons among several types of pavement(CRCP, JCP, Asphalt) by roughness, CRCP is superior to JCP. In addition, connected sections in the highway such as bridges and tunnels that have higher IRI values, about 5mm/m, than normal sections should be considered appropriated maintenance such as diamond grinding. The relationship between IRI and distresses carried out by Korea Highway Cooperation in 1999 skewed that the number of crack is related to IRI value in JCP, while other distresses of JCP and CRCP are not shown clearly. The comparison study with IRI values between Jungbu Expressway and GPS-3(JCP) and GPS-5(CRCP) of LTPP data also showed that roughness of Jungbu Expressway is not inferior to that of the state. Some of section showed larger values of IRI are linked with under-9round structures for passages and drainages. The overall performance considering only roughness, the CRCP is also superior to JCP in sections with under-ground tunnels.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of root zone warming on rhizosphere temperature of Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. Makuwa) in winter season. Root zone was warmed by hot water flowing through pipe set at 35cm depth from the ridge. Treatments of minimum soil temperature at 20cm depth were 17, 21, $25^{\circ}C$, and non-warmed from Jan. 18 to Apr. 18. The results are summarized as follows. 1. The cumulative soil temperature for 1 month after planting oriental melon was 441, 558, 648, and 735$^{\circ}C$ at control, 17, 21, and $25^{\circ}C$ plot, respectively. 2. As soil temperature was higher, air temperature in tunnel was higher. The lowest temperature in control plot at night was 9.5$^{\circ}C$, 11.$0^{\circ}C$ in 17$^{\circ}C$ plot, 13.5$^{\circ}C$ in 21$^{\circ}C$ plot, and 16.5$^{\circ}C$ in $25^{\circ}C$ plot, respectively. 3. The xylem exudate amount of control plot for 24 hours just after basal stem abscission was 8.1$m\ell$.
