산지 소하천 유역을 대상으로 물순환 과정을 규명하기란 대단히 어려운 실정이다. 1차적으로는 수문자료의 부재가 제일 크며, 자료가 있다 하더라도 홍수기 중심 및 단기간 자료의 축적에 불과하다. 이중 설마천 시험유역은 한국건설기술연구원의 12년간 운영경험을 바탕으로 비교적 장기간의 수문자료를 축적하고 있다. 최근 7년간은 신뢰할 만한 양질의 수문자료를 구축하였으며, 현재는 신뢰도의 완성을 높이는 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 설마천 시험유역의 유역의 물순환 구조는 자연계의 유입과 유출이 지배적이며, 이들의 수문성분을 규명하기 위해서는 각각의 수문성분들의 관측 및 해석이 필요하며, 각 수문성분들의 물수지 분석을 통하여 정량적인 합의 결과를 가시적으로 확보함이 매우 중요하다. 신뢰도와 정확성에 근거한 관측자료를 이용한 물수지 분석결과는 수문성분들의 총체적 표현이라 할 수 있는 모형(model)의 중요 입력자료이며, 모형의 분석결과를 검증할 수 있는 중요한 기준이 된다. 모형의 결과와의 비교 검토를 통해 산지 소하천 유역의 물순환 관계를 규명하는 기반을 확보하게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 신뢰성 있는 수문관측 자료를 이용하여 물수지 분석을 수행하였다. 물수지 분석의 대상유역인 설마천 시험유역의 신뢰할 만한 관측자료에는 강우량, 유출량, 지하수이용량이며, 증발산량 산정을 위한 기상관측 및 대형증발계를 통한 실제 증발량 관측은 이루어지나 유역을 대표하는 증발산량의 관측이 연속적으로 이루어지지 못하는 실정이다. 그러나, 설마천 시험유역은 소규모이며, 대체로 동질성 있는 유역이라고 가정하여 1개 기상관측소에서 운영하는 기상자료를 이용하여 증발산량을 산정하고 물수지에 적용하였다. 또한, 그 동안 관측하지 못했던 지하수위 관측을 실시함으로써 정확한 물순환 해석을 할 수 있는 기반을 확보 하였으며, 가용한 장 단기간의 관측자료와 물수지 분석 연산식의 추정치를 바탕으로 관측자료에 의한 물수지 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과로 산지 소하천 유역인 설마천 시험유역의 각 수문요소의 물이동간의 정량적인 값을 알 수가 있었으며, 앞으로 추가적이고 지속적인 수문모니터링이 운영되고 물순환 해석 모형에 의한 검증이 수행된다면 정량적인 물순환 관계를 규명할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 이와 관련된 수문요소기술을 확보할 수 있을 것이다.

The buffer in geological disposal system is one of the major elements to restrain the release of radionuclide and to protect the container from the inflow of groundwater. The buffer material requires long-term stability, low hydraulic conductivity, low organic content, high retardation of radionuclide, high swelling pressure, and high thermal conductivity. These requirements could be determined by the quantitative analysis results. In case of South Korea, the bentonites produced in Gyeongju area have been regarded as candidate buffer/backfill materials at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) since 1997. According to the study on several physical and chemical characteristics of domestic bentonite in the same district, this is the Ca-type bentonite with about 65% of montmorillonite content. Through this study, we present the criteria for the performance evaluation items and methods when collecting new buffer/backfill materials.

An excessive ground displacement occurs with excavating tunnel in a fault zone because the fault has properties of soft ground in generally. It may have had a bad influence to adjacent structure. So, rapid reduction of ground strength by groundwater inflow should be prevented. It must be established for an impervious and reinforcing effect of ground to ensure a tunnel stability. The ground settlement and reinforcing effects were estimated by numerical analyses on tunnel through 570 m sector in Yangsan fault zone of Keongbu high-speed railway. Settlements evaluated by numerical analysis is similar to those calculated by using equation of Loganathan & Poulo. It was shown that reliable estimate of ground settlement by applying a prediction equation is possible. Applicability of adopted tunnel reinforcement method in fault zone was investigated by results of pilot construction and numerical analysis. Results from this study indicate that the adopted reinforcement method make tunnel displacements and member stresses restrain in design criteria.

Conventional railroad roadbeds constructed with soils can easily deteriorate with time due to the increase of repeated traffic loading, increase of train speed, built-up of ground water on the roadbed and decrease of permeability in the roadbed layer, etc. In this study, performance of reinforced railroad roadbeds with the crushed stones was investigated through the real scale roadbed tests and numerical analysis. It was found that the reinforced roadbed with crushed stone had less elastic and plastic vertical displacement(settlement) than general soil roadbed regardless of the number of loading cycles. It was also found through the actual testing that for the roadbed with the same thickness, the displacement of reinforced roadbed decreases with the increase of subgrade reaction modulus. The settlement of reinforced roadbed with the same subgrade reaction modulus also decreases with the increase of thickness of the reinforced roadbed. However, the subgrade reaction modulus is a more important factor to the total plastic displacement of the track than the thickness of the crushed stone roadbed.

The Chongok karst cave which is located in Donghae-city, has high tourist and educational value due to existence of many doline(sink hole). Whereas this cave is easy to approach for the tourists, because this cave is located near the downtown, a high environmental riskiness such as sewage flowing has been also involved. In study, we observed the variation of water quality with long-term monitoring and investigated the possibility of existence of impact factor to water eco-system and determined the proper long-term monitoring factor among many monitoring criteria. The groundwater quality was maintained in the range of about $14^{\circ}C$ in temperature, over 10mg/l in dissolved oxygen and 7-8 in pH, so the impact factor in water eco-system was not observed. The guide line to make sure of tourist safety was determined to 60mm/d as daily rainfall. The conductivity was suggested to main factor for long-term monitoring main factor and pH/turbidity was suitable for the supplementary factor. For the seasonal variation monitoring, ORP was recommended.

A buffer in a geological disposal system minimizes groundwater inflow from the surrounding rock and protects the disposed high-level waste (HLW) against any mechanical impact. As decay heat of a spent fuel causes temperature variation in the buffer that affects the mechanical performance of the system, an accurate estimation of the temperature variation is substantial. The temperature variation is affected by thermal and material properties of the system such as thermal conductivity, density and specific heat capacity of the buffer, and thus these factors should be properly included in the design of the system. In particular, as the thermal properties are variable depending on the density and water content of the buffer, consideration of the effects should be included in the analysis. Hence, in this study, a numerical model based on finite element method (FEM) which is able to consider the change of density and water content of the buffer was established. In addition, using the numerical model, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of each thermal property on the temperature variation of the buffer.

Improper backfill materials and compaction controls under pipelines have become one of the major causes of failure in many sewage pipeline systems. A study on backfill materials and compaction controls has been considered for a long time. However, structural supporters under the pipe were recently concerned because of pipeline repair and maintenance. This paper presents a prefabricated plastic foundation for supporting a sewage pipe system and increasing the performance function of the pipes. Several analytical models for the plastic foundations were investigated using finite-element program, ABAQUS, for checking safety. Comparing with the results of analyses, some of economic design sections based on the sizes of pipe diameters, 600mm, 700 and 600mm, were evaluated. These results could be applied to a pipeline system with a prefabricated plastic foundation with respect to pipe diameters and buried depths.

○ ○ tunnel that is located at Iksan - Jangsu freeway ○ ○, has collapsed during construction at the valley with shallow depth. Although, the site investigations, such as TSP, drilling exploration and so of indicated the presence of discontinuities in this section. The RMR was upgraded and the construction were carried out because that not only actual rock qualities were relatively good during construction but also the tunnel foe was stabilized. However, the tunnel was collapsed at the same time blasting of full face, and surface and underground water was infiltrated due to the settlement of the upper part of the tunnel face. To restore the collapsed section, 3-d tunnel stability analysis was performed and suitable reinforcement methods were chosen. The cavity of the upper tunnel face was stabilized by means of UAM and ALC injection. And the settlement was restored using L.W grouting method.

Based on the case study on the causes for the failure of cutting slope composed of weathered rock and soil, the factors influencing the design of a cutting slope have been examined, This type of rock and soil is widely distributed on the region whose parent rock is granite. To analyze the stability of the cutting slope, the following series of progress has been conducted: (1) ground characterization by geological survey and ground investigation, (2) the safety factor examination by limit equilibrium analysis and numerical analysis and (3) the comparison and analysis of rainfall and failure history. As a result, the main factors to cause the failure is determined to be the decrease of shear strength in the upper parts whose ground condition is weakened during localized heavy rain. Moreover, the analysis indicates the failure is also closely related to the groundwater inflow path. On the base of this investigation, a reinforcement method is proposed to ensure the stability of the cutting slope.

라오스의 Houay Pano 유역은 상업적 조림으로 인해 2011년부터 2013년까지 급속한 토지이용 변화를 겪어왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 토지이용변화가 박테리아 거동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 이해하기 위해 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) 모형을 활용한 박테리아 거동 모델링을 수행하였다. SWAT 모형은 수치 표고 모델, 토양 특성, 토지 이용 등의 정보를 종합하여, 유역 내수량 및 수질의 변화를 모의할 수 있는 모형으로, 본 연구는 대표적인 분원성 지표 세균 (Fecal Indicator Bacteria)인 대장균 (Escheichia coli, E. coli)을 대상으로 모델링을 수행하였다. SWAT 모형은 지표면 위 박테리아를 1)식물 위, 2)토양 용액상, 3)토양 입자상으로 구분하여 모의한다. 각 상태로 분할된 박테리아는 소멸 (die-off), 씻김 (wash-off), 침투, 표면 유출을 통한 수계로의 이동 등의 단계를 통하여 유역 내에서 거동한다. 본 연구는 서로 다른 기후의 영향을 배제하기 위해 각 토지이용 시나리오를 (2011, 2012, 2013) 실제 기후 조건과 동일 기후(2011-2013 평균) 조건으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 실제 기후 조건에서 SWAT 모형은 표면 유출, 토사 유출, E. coli 거동에 대해 2011년부터 2012년까지 감소, 2012년부터 2013년까지 증가로 모두 동일한 양상을 모의하였다. 이는 강수량의 양상과 동일한 것으로, 강수량이 표면 유출의 양을 결정하고, 달라진 표면 유출에 따라 토사 유출과 E. coli 거동이 결정되기 때문이다. 하지만 동일 기후 조건에서는, E. coli 거동 동인인 표면 유출과 토사 유출이 비교적 일정해짐에 따라, 각 상태로 분할된 박테리아의 초기 부하량값이 E. coli 거동을 결정하는 주된 요인임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 초기 부하량 분할에 활용되는 엽면적 지수 (Leaf Area Index)와 분배계수 (BACTKDDB)의 정확도가 요구된다. 추가적으로 본 연구는 박테리아의 유입원인 비료 모델링과, LAI를 활용한 박테리아 초기 부하량 산정, 토양 특성 변수와 토지 이용 변수의 분리, 지하수를 통한 박테리아 거동 등을 중심으로 SWAT 모형의 한계점과 개선점을 제시하였으며, 본 연구 결과는 토지이용변화가 박테리아 거동에 주는 영향을 모형적으로 이해하고, 또한 추후 박테리아 모델링 개발에 도움을 줄 것으로 예상된다.
