Fresh concrete has 10~20% extra water in it. As those water remain entrapped air in the concrete, life span of structures is reduced. For that reason, if extra water is eliminated, it will be useful to improve the durability of the structures. Though there were many reports about permeable formwork, the study on the properties of permeable liner itself has been insufficient. In addition, making holes on the form causes lowering of workability. Therefore, this study reviewed the properties of woven and non-woven permeable liner and formwork which has no holes on the form. For the woven and non-woven permeable liner, they showed great application with W/C decrease, lowering roughness, increased compressive strength of surface area and slight loss of cement paste, when the were applied to concrete. In addition, they showed different performance according to the density of woven liner or thickness of non-woven liner. Furthermore, when using the draining non-woven permeable liner which has drainage path inside, concrete surface showed required performance with high workability, without drilling the holes on the form.

In this study, to enhance the quality of concrete surface by removing the surplus water, permeable liner attached the euroform was applied for manufacturing concrete specimens. Various kinds of concrete mixtures with different water to binder ratios were applied and the strength properties of the hardened concrete surfaces were evaluated at different heights. Experimental results showed that the rebound values by schmidt hammer test and the compressive strengths on the surfaces of concrete specimens were increased as proportion to the amount of mixture water which is dependent on the water to binder ratio of each concrete mixture, and more enhancements were observed on the middle and lower specimen surfaces than the upper region. SEM analysis also showed that much denser hydrate structures were observed on the specimen surfaces by the application of the permeable liner while similar hydrate formations were occurred regardless of surface treatment conditions. From the MIP test results of the concrete surfaces, it was observed that, by the application of permeable liner, the pore volume below $0.01{\mu}m$ was decreased with a maximum of 50% resulting in the densification of pore structures.

This study was conducted to propose a reasonable requirement regulation of barrier system of rubble mound revetment offshore landfill for preventing contaminant leakage. The barrier is composed with bottom layer and side barrier. The bottom layer was assumed as impermeable clay layer and side barrier was composed with HDPE sheet (primary element) and mid-protection layer (supplementary element). Seepage-advection-dispersion numerical analysis has been conducted using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W programs under steady flow. As the results, the minimum required barrier regulations for hydraulic conductivity and thickness of the bottom layer were suggested. For side barrier, the extended length of HDPE sheet and the hydraulic conductivity of mid-protection layer were also suggested.

In order to prevent leakage of leachate in offshore landfill, hydraulic barrier is indispensable. In the case of rubble mound revetment at offshore landfill, HDPE sheet in slope should be installed. In this study, seepage analysis were performed to evaluate seepage and flow in the seabed and revetment according to extended length of HDPE sheet by using SEEP/W. Results show that, in the case of low permeability layer is distributed where extended length of HDPE sheet was more than 1m, seepage flux in seabed and revetment was greatly reduced. In order to prevent seepage in seabed and revetment in the case of sand layer of high permeability is existed above low permeable layer, extended length of HDPE sheet and impermeable improvement width of permeable layer should be more than 1m at seabed.

This study was performed to investigate the physical characteristics like compressive strength, permeability, porosity and the water quality removal characteristics of permeable concrete pavement filled with microbial-soil sheet to remove SS, organic matter and nutrients in artificial rainfall. As a result, it can show the removal efficiency is SS 90~95%, COD 85~93%, BOD 80~83%, T-N 61~75%, T-P 71~78% on WAPS I(W1) and WAPS II(W2). Therefore, permeable concrete pavement filled with microbial-soil sheet shows higher removal efficiency(SS 10%, organic matter and nutrients 30%) than a conventional porous concrete(W3). By filling microbial-soil sheet to permeable concrete pavement, we confirm that the function and efficiency are improved significantly and that a naturally-friendly facility can be developed and applied to treat non-point sources.

In this study, to investigate the strength enhancement and stress transfer effect of the inflatable chemicals used in the recovery of soft ground or partial settlement, the dilatant solution was prepared and classified by measuring the density and the earth pressure in the sand ground. The inflation reinforcing agent was prepared by injecting into a separate impervious vacuum sheet by dividing into a relatively high expansion group and a low expansion group, and a cementation experiment was performed in the lower part of the homogeneously formed model ground. As a result, reinforcing effect was shown up to about 15cm above the expansion reinforcement, and the soil pressure showed a compaction tendency similar to the concentrated load of $1.150{\sim}11.298t/m^2$.

Generally, poly-urea is widely used as waterproof coating material due to its superior adhesiveness, elongation capacity, and permeability resistance. In addition, it can be quickly and easily applied on structure surfaces using spray application. Since it hardens in about 30 seconds after application, its construction efficiency is very high and its usage as a special functional material is also excellent. However, currently, poly-urea is mostly used as waterproof coating material and the researches on its usage as a retrofitting material is lacking at best. Therefore, basic studies on the use of poly-urea as a general structural retrofitting material are needed urgently. The objective of this study is to develop most optimum poly-urea composition for structure retrofitting purpose. Moreover, the structural strengthening capacity of the developed poly-urea is evaluated through flexural capacity experiments on RC beams and RC slabs. From the results of the flexural test of poly-urea strengthened RC beam and slab specimens, the poly-urea and concrete specimen showed monolithic behavior where ductility and ultimate strength of the poly-urea strengthened specimen showed slight increase. However, the doubly reinforced specimens with FRP sheet and poly-urea showed lower capacity than that of the specimen reinforced only with FRP sheet.

This study examined the effect of an electrokinetic-flushing remediation for a soil of a high permeability. The soil was sampled from the site around a research atomic reactor which had high hydro-conductivities due to a high content of sand in the soil. The flow rate of the washing reagent was fast at the beginning but it was reduced as time lapsed. In the case of using citric acid as a washing reagent, the flow rate was fastest, 78.7 ml/day. The removal efficiencies of $Co^{2+}$ and $Cs^+$ from a soil cell with acetic acid were the highest, which were 95.2% and 84.2% respectively. The soil waste-solution volume generated from the electrokinetic remediation was reduced to about 1/20 of that from the soil washing remediation. Meanwhile, the electrokinetic-flushing method enhanced the removal efficiencies of $Co^{2+}$ and $Cs^+$ from the soil by about 6% and 2% respectively, compared to those by the electrokinetic method. Consequently, it was found that the electrokinetic-flushing method was more effective for the remediation of a soil with a high permeability.

Individual Vacuum Pressure Method (IVPM) is a soft ground improvement technique, in which a vacuum pressure can be directly applied to the vertical drain board to promote consolidation and to strengthen the soft ground. This method does not require surcharge loads, different to embankment or pre-loading method. In this study, the ground improvement efficiency of Individual Vacuum Pressure Method was estimated when suction pressure increases step by step(-20, -40, -60, -80kPa) with different periods. During Individual Vacuum Pressure Method process, surface settlement and pore pressure were monitored, and cone resistance as well as water content were also measured after the completion of Individual Vacuum Pressure Method treatment. From the results, optimum duration of each step of vacuum pressure was determined, and the settlement was calculated using FEM numerical analysis.
