For quantitative evaluation of geotechnical engineering properties such as rippability and diggability, clear interpretation on the subsurface velocity structures should be preceded by figuring out top soil, weathered and soft rock layers, shape of basement, fracture zones, geologic boundary and etc. from the seismic refraction data. It is very important to set up suitable field parameters, which are the configuration of profile and its length, spacings of geophones and sources and topographic conditions, for increasing field data quality Geophone spacing of 3 to 5m is recommended in the land slope area for house land development and 5 to 10m in the tunnel site. In refraction tomography technique, the number of source points should be more than a half of available channel number of instrument, which can make topographic effect ignorable. Compared with core logging data, it is shown that the velocity range of the soil is less than 700m/s, weathered rock 700${\~}$1,200m/s, soft rock 1,200${\~}$1,800m/s. And the upper limit of P-wave velocity for rippability is estimated 1,200 to 1,800m/s in land slope area of gneiss. In case of tunnel site, it is recommended in tunnel design and construction to consider that tunnel is in contact with soft rock layer where three lineaments intersecting each other are recognized from the results of the other survey.

An in-hole seismic tests, which has been developed for measuring dynamic properties of soils and rock mass, is a bore hole seismic method that has cost effectiveness and practicality. The upgraded features include the motorized triggering system rather than the manual prototype version in the previous studies and a damper between source and receiver in the module. The performance of the probe has been verified through extensive cross-hole tests and in-hole tests at various sites. The dynamic stiffness of subsurface materials and rock mass have been evaluated and recently, the measurement of shear wave velocity was successfully adopted at horizontal holes of tunnel-face to install explosives. So the application of in-hole seismic test for various soil materials was certified.

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.

Groundwater flow induced by cracks in a buried pipe causes ground loss in the vicinity of it which can lead to underground cavities and sinkhole problems. In this study, the ground collapse mechanism and the failure mode based on an aperture in the pipe located in cohesionless ground were investigated through a series of physical model studies. As the influence parameters, size of the crack, flow velocity in the pipe, groundwater level, ground cover depth and ground composition were adopted in order to examine how each of the parameters affected the behavior of the ground collapse. Influence of every experimental condition was evaluated by the final shape of ground failure (failure mode) and the amount of ground loss. According to the results, the failure mode appeared to be a 'Y' shape which featured a discontinuous change of the angle of erosion when a groundwater level was equal to the height of the ground depth. While in the case of a water table getting higher than the level of ground cover depth, the shape of the failure mode turned to be a 'V' shape that had a constant erosion angle. As the height of the ground depth increased, it was revealed that a mechanism where a vertically collapsed area which consisted of a width proportional to the ground height and a constant length occurred was repeated.

During EPB TBM tunnelling, an appropriate application of additives such as foam and polymer is an essential factor to secure the stability of TBM as well as tunnelling performance. From the '90s, there have been many studies on the optimal injection of additives worldwidely contrary to the domestic situation. Therefore, in this paper, the foam, which is widely adopted for soil conditioning, was selected as an additive in order to investigate the effect of foam injection on TBM performance through a series of laboratory excavation tests. The excavation experiments were carried out on artificial sandy soil specimens with consideration of the variance of FIR (Foam Injection Ratio), FER (Foam Expansion Ratio) and $C_f$ (Surfactant Concentration), which indicate the amount and quality of the foam. During the tests, torque values were measured, and the workability of conditioned soil was evaluated by comparing the slump values of muck after each experiment. In addition, a weight loss of the replaceable aluminum cutter bits installed on the blade was measured to estimate the degree of abrasion. Finally, the foam injection ratio for the optimal TBM excavation for the typical soil specimen was determined by comparing the measured torque, slump value and abrasion. Note that the foam injection conditions satisfying the appropriate level of machine load, mechanical wear and workability are essential in the EPB TBM operational design.

Soil conditioning is one of the key factors for successfull tunnel excavations utilizing the earth pressure-balanced (EPB) shield tunnel boring machine (TBM) by increasing the tunnel face stability and extraction efficiency of excavated soils. In this study, conditioning agents are mixed with the weathered granite soils which are abundant in the Korean peninsula and the workability of the resulting mixture is evaluated through the slump tests to derive and propose the most suitable conditioning agent as well as the most appropriate agent mix ratios. However, since it is cumbersome to perform the slump tests all the time either in the laboratory or in-situ, a simpler test may be needed instead of the slump test; the fall cone test was proposed as a substitute. In this paper, the correlation between the slump value obtained from the slump test and the cone penetration depth obtained from the proposed fall cone test was obtained. Test results showed that a very good correlation between two was observed; it means that the simpler fall cone test can be used to assess the suitability of the conditioned soils instead of the more cumbersome slump test.

The use of TBM (Tunnel boring machine) has increased worldwide due to its performance together with the benefit of being safely and environmentally friendly compared to conventional tunneling. In particular, EPB (Earth Pressure Balanced) TBM is widely used because it can be applied to various grounds compared to Open TBM. Also EPB TBM has a simple mechanical structure and advantages in cost, requires less ground area than Slurry TBM. EPB TBM has advantages in soft ground, and more importantly, can extend its applicability by use of appropriate soil conditioning, which improves mechanical and hydrological properties of excavated soil and increases the excavation performance of EPB TBM. Various studies suggested the proper mixing ratio and injection ratio, but almost they are limited to laboratory test under atmospheric pressure such as slump test. Actual field conditions may differ depending on the ground and mechanical condition. In this study, first the amount of used soil conditioning used in the field with various grounds from hard rock to soft ground was estimated through laboratory tests and compared with the estimate in design stage. And also it was compared with the amount used during actual excavation. In addition, experience of soil conditioning for the problems of cutter head clogging and groundwater inrush that occurred during excavation is discussed. Finally, lesson learned for the use of soil conditioning in difficult ground condition such as mixed ground are reviewed.

The earth pressure acting on underground structure was measured by application of the instrumentation system in the subway construction site constructed by the method of cut-and-cover tunnel. The measured earth pressure was compared with the earth pressure obtained from the existed theoretical equation, and the actual earth pressure diagram acting on the underground structure was investigated. As a result of investigation, the vertical earth pressure is mainly affected by the embankment height, and the lateral earth pressure is significantly affected by whether the existence of earth retaining structures or not. The measured vertical earth pressure is very similar to the theoretical earth pressure proposed by Bierbaumer. The measured lateral earth pressure is closed to the active earth pressure proposed by Rankine rather than the earth pressure at rest. The coefficient of earth pressure in soil deposit layer is about 0.35, and the coefficient in soft rock deposit layer is about 0.21. For design and construction the underground structures, therefore, it is reasonable estimation that the lateral earth pressure acting on structures installed in soil deposit layers is an average value between active earth pressure and earth pressure at rest. In rock deposit layers, the lateral earth pressure acting on structure is an active earth pressure only.

Electrical resistivity method, one of the most widely used geophysical prospecting methods. has been usually applied to explorations for groundwater and underground resources. However, it has been extending its scope to civil & environmental engineering areas since it twas been developed so as to image underground structures effectively. A FEM algorithm for the dipole-dipole array was developed to correct topographic effects which have a serious influence on electrical methods. Applicability of the electrical resistivity imaging technique to civil & environmental engineering areas was verified through three case histories in this study First, thickness of soil layers was profiled to judge the possibility of developing borrow-pits tn an industrial complect site. Second, weak zones such as fractures and coal seams were detected to provide geological information for design and construction in a high mountain tunnel site. Third, horizontal/vertical distribution of the contaminated zone and depth of waste disposal were delineated in a completed industrial waste disposal site.

Recently, in urban areas, cavities and ground collapse adjacent to underground structures are frequently reported. Several studies on the cavity generation by structure cracks have been made, however they are focused on the cause of cracks and settlement of the ground. In this paper, soil particle and groundwater discharge through pipe cracks and cavity generation mechanism are investigated. The theoretical analysis of the groundwater, which is the main factor of the drainage of the soil particles, and the particle transport mechanism and flow characteristics were investigated. An experimental model test was carried out to identify the mechanism of cavity generation by underground buried pipe cracks. The soil particle weight of discharge through the cracks, and the movement characteristics of the particles were analyzed using PIV. In this study, it is clearly identified that soil particle movements, cavity generation and ground collapse that occur in the ground are basically caused by the movement of groundwater.
