PSD (particle size distribution) for 2,000 mg/$\ell$ natural loess in seawater showed normal distribution cure at 0 minute settling time, accompanying with very large particle distribution range with its mean particle diameter of 31.6 $\mu$m and coencient of variance of $72.6\%$, With elapsed time it showed that the PSD was rapidly changed from normal distribution cure to abnormal distribution curve, steepened the right-hand side of it and its coefficient of variance was getting increased because of rapid settling of large size particles, Cumulative weight distribution showed that 2,000 mg/$\ell$ natural loess in seawater was almost $100\%$ constituted of particles bigger than 20 $\mu$m in diameter. Ratio of $V_s/(D_{bm})^{1/2}$ for loess particles in seawater was increased with increase of particle size in geometrical progression. Almost all loess particles in seawater had Stokes settling velocity not less than 2,255 times of Brownian diffusion coefficient, There was almost to EDL (about 0.4 nm) around natural loess particles in seawater, Thus, there was always LVDW attractive force between loess particles approaching each other in seawater, and almost no EDL repulsive force. Loess particles were not always in the condition of easy floe formation. Concentration of natural loess in seawater increasing from 400 mg/$\ell$ to 10,000 mg/$\ell$, characteristics of the settling was changed from Type I settling (discrete settling) to Type II settling (flocculation settling). PVD (particle volume distribution) showed that natural loess particles in seawater were largely constituted of two types of particles, such as rapidly settling particles and suspended and dispersed particles for a long time. Amount of the latter was much less than that of the former.

The effect of particle shape and size on the settling characteristics in monodisperse suspensions of non-spherical particles was investigated. The slope index n values which was obtained from the plot of logarithm of settling rate vs. voidage were increased with the decrease of particle size because different amount of liquid could be adsorbed on irregular particle shape and/or size at same volume concentration. From the experimental results, an equation, $n_{i}=n(a+b/d_{v})$ where n is value of spherical particles, dv is minimum particle diameter and a, b are constants for characteristic of particles.

액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압 소산 특성을 파악하기 위하여 포화된 수평 모래지반에 대하여 1-g 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 진동대시험에는 주문진 표준사와 영종도 세사를 사용하였으며 상대밀도를 dir 20~30% 사이가 되도록 조성하였다. 간극수압계, 가속도계 그리고 LVDT 등으로 시험중의 지반거동을 계측하였으며, 4Hz의 sine 파를 0.15g에서 5초간 5회 반복하여 작용시켰다. 진동대시험을 분석한 결과 액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압의 소산속도는 그 지반의 투수성뿐 아니라 과잉간극수압 소산시 입자의 침강거리와 직접 관련이 있는 지반의 침하량에도 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 과정을 침강모래 이론으로 모델링하였을 때 입자의 침강속도와 투수계수 사이의 비례 관계는 침강모래 이론에서의 가정한 것과는 달리 모래의 종류에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 Terzaghi의 압밀이론으로는 액상화 후 과잉간극수압의 소산과정을 적절히 모사할 수 없었다.

호우 시 산지하천 유역에서 빈발하는 토석류에 따라 하천 흐름에 들어온 전석과 같이 상대적으로 큰 물체는 하류로 이송되거나 하상에 퇴적하여 기존 흐름과 하상을 변화시키는 교란요인이 된다. 따라서 산지하천 흐름에서 전석의 영향을 예측하는 것이 필요하나 이는 유속, 전석의 크기와 형상, 유입조건, 부유사 농도 등 수 많은 변수들에 영향을 받기 때문에 그 경로를 정확히 예측하기 어렵다. 이 연구는 유리와 철로 된 구형물체가 개수로 흐름에서 이동하는 경로를 조사한 것이며 흐름의 수심, 물체의 크기와 초기침강조건을 고려하여 수리실험을 실시하고 물체의 이동경로와 유하거리를 분석하였다. 개수로 흐름에 유입한 구형 물체는 침강에 의한 항력과 유수에 의한 항력을 동시에 받는다. 이 힘은 물체의 형상, 유수의 점성, 난류, 물체와 물의 밀도차가 복합적으로 작용한 결과이며 구체의 이동경로와 시간을 좌우한다. 실험결과 개수로 흐름에서 낙하중인 구형물체는 하상에 가까워질수록 흐름방향 이동거리가 증가하였다. 물체의 수중무게가 작을수록 유수 중에서 체류하는 시간이 길고 이동거리가 더 크며, 구체에 작용하는 초기항력에 따라 초기 낙하각도와 이동거리가가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

유사는 이동 형태에 따라 소류사와 부유사로 구분된다. 하천의 흐름을 통해 이동하는 유사의 대부분은 부유사의 형태로 이동하며, 부유사의 부유 거동은 난류 강도와 유사 입자의 침강 속도로 인해 결정된다. 이에 따라 부유사의 부유 거동을 이해하기 위해서는 정확한 침강 속도의 산정과 난류에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 유사의 침강 속도는 밀도와 크기로 대표되는 유사의 특성을 이용하여 결정된다. 하천에서 부유사가 여러 크기를 갖는 유사 입자들이 혼재된 형태로 이동하는 것을 생각해 볼 때, 침강 속도의 분포를 이해하기 위해서 입도 분포에 대한 연구는 필수적임을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유사 입자의 입도 분포에 난류 강도가 미치는 영향을 살펴본다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 모래의 입도 분포가 로그 정규 분포를 따를 것이라는 가정을 적용하여 난류의 영향을 고려하는 부유사의 입도 분포 모형이 개발되었다. 부유사의 입도 분포는 흐름의 유사 이송 능력에 따라 분포의 표준 편차와 같은 물리량이 변화할 것으로 예측되는데, 흐름 내 유사의 이동과 흐름의 유사 이송 능력을 함께 고려하기 위해 개발되는 유사의 입도 분포 모형은 유사 이동 모형과 결합된다.

The costal reclamation construction is for making reclaimed land by dredging marine clay with seawater, and then bringing the dredged soil into the reclaimed land. During the process, the dredged soil in the reclaimed land undergoes the sedimentation-consolidation process. Among the processes, the consolidation is a very critical factor when planning reclaimed land because of its requiring time and settlement. In order to predict the requiring time and settlement, the Column test, which was suggested by Yano, has been usually used in the nation. However, the test method needs a very long time to identify the characteristic of sedimentation-consolidation of dredged soil. Therefore, in this study, in order to supplement the weakness of the Column test which needs such a long time, and in order to identify the characteristic of the sedimentation-consolidation for dredged soil in a short time, the Geo-centrifuge test was examined as an alternative method. The result considered that Geo-centrifuge test would be useful to identify the characteristic of sedimentation-consolidation for dredged soil efficiently.

Suspended fine mineral particles are deposited at the areas with low flow velocity and low transportation capacity in rivers, reservoirs and lakes. It can be contaminated by heavy metals. Examples of problem fields art dredging of sediment, water pollutants, and maintenance of navigation channels and construction works. To deal with the settling problems it is necessary to understand tile physico-chemical characteristics of cohesive sediment under varying density of particle and ion addition(NaOH, HCl, NaCl), which is dissolved in river, because fine-grained cohesive sediment can lead to flocculation with the physico-chemical influences and takes different characteristics. Experiments with fresh and saline water are followed with fine-grained sediments(alumina and quartz) in settling columns. Settling velocity of suspended fine particles in still water was measured with a pressure sensor(maximum 10 mbar). Until the initial concentration of 20,000 mg/1 of alumina and quartz the settling velocity was on the increase. Above this initial concentration was it on the decrease. In an acid condition, which causes strong flocculation, average settling velocity of quartz powder was high. In an alkaline water low average settling velocity of it was observed. However, alumina behaved exactly contrarily.

Settlement, recruitment, growth and production of Mactra venerifomis were investigated at Kunsan tidal flat located in the west coast of Korea from lune 1993 to May 1994. High density of planktonic larvae of M. veneriformis was observed between the mid and early July in 1993. The size of the newly settled larvae ranged from 250 to 350um in shell length with mean density of 601$inds.\cdot m^{-3}$. Recruitment of M. veneriformis larvae was occurred mainly in the mid June to mid July 1993. The larvae have no substratum preference during the larval settlement phase. Mortality of larval was affected by environment (substratum, exposure time, density of adult clams). After settlement they grew until November, and stopped growing in winter from December. The estimated turnover rate of M. veneriformis larvae was estimated as high as 4.91 and 4.94. Annual production of the 0-age group was estimated to be 2,900g $m^{-2}\;\cdot\;yr^{-l}$, which was relatively high compared with those of other age groups.

This study aims to estimate settling velocity ($W_s$) for cohesive sediments from water bodies (Incheon Coast, Kulpo Stream and Han River) mainly connected to the Kyeongin Ara-waterway through the laboratory settling experiments. Results of settling tests for these sediments show that $W_s$ values for sediments are quite different each other: $W_s$ values of Kulpo Stream sediments (0.01 < $W_s$ < 3.07 mm/s) are quite similar with those of Han River sediments (0.01 < $W_s$ < 2.97 mm/s) over the whole range of suspension concentration C (0.1 < C < 90 g/ L), while they are quite different with those for Incheon Coast sediments (0.01 < $W_s$ <0.92 mm/s). Qualitative analyses on test results for physico- chemical properties of sediments and waters with respect to settling velocities show that these differences in settling velocities are mainly due to the salinity difference in the water.
