Hydraulic fracturing is guaranteed to create or enlarge fracture, so the hydraulically created fracture acts as a conduit in the rock, allowing the groundwater to flow more freely through the fracture system. In a recent study, it showed that 12 wells where hydraulic fracturing was performed increased well production. However, it was estimated not to present representation by rock type due to not enough wells. Therefore, this study was performed to clarify the application of hydraulic fracturing at 19 water wells. Rocks were divided into igneous rocks (9 sites), metamorphic rocks (4 sites), and sedimentary rocks (6 sites) to evaluate representative features. As a result, the average of well yield increases $93.4\%$ in the igneous rocks, $103\%$ in the metamorphic rocks, and $42.2\%$ in the sedimentary rocks. Accordingly, hydraulic fracturing presented in this study provides an effective method for increasing well production

국내의 12개소 저산출 우물을 대상으로, 외국의 유정들에서의 산출량 증대를 위하여 많이 사용되고있는 인공수압파쇄 방법을 적용하여 산출성 증대 효과를 검증하였다. 12개소에 대하여 수압파쇄시험 전후로 양수 시험을 실시하여 투수성 증대 등의 효과와 비양수량을 정량적으로 평가한 결과, 비양수량의 경우 전체적으로 평균 약 45%의 증가하였으며 투수량계수 또한 약 26%가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 인공수압파쇄 방법이 대수층내 열극의 생성 혹은 확장 및 균열내의 막힘(clog) 물질 제거를 통해 투수성을 상당히 개선시킨 것으로 평가된다. 특히, 현재까지의 시험 결과, 퇴적암류 지역에서 보다 화성암류 지역에서의 시험 결과가 양호하게 나타났다. 화성암 지역에서 개발된 홍천에서의 사례를 볼 때, 고압의 주입을 통하여 상부 및 하부의 파쇄대가 확장 연결되고, 이들 파쇄 열극에 부착된 광물학적, 생물학적 막힘 물질이 제거되면서 산출성이 증대되는 것으로 나타났다.

Average pressure in a pipe network is one of critical factors to estimate the flow distribution and to calculate UARL (Unavoidable Annual Real Losses) value in ILI (Infrastructure Leakage Index). While its collection period and measuring location are essential to obtain average pressure, their standard method have not been established so far. In this study, proper method including its procedure for data collection period and measuring point for average pressure were suggested using non-exceedance probability concept in the water distribution network.

상수도 관망은 상수도 운용시스템에서 가장 중요한 부분이다. 그러므로 항상 수요자의 필요에 부응하는 충분한 수량과 좋은 수질로 공급할 수 있도록 적정한 압력 유지와 수량 확보가 되도록 유지 관리 되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 상수도 관망의 합리적인 해석과 최적의 설계를 통해 수요자가 필요로 하는 양질의 물을 원활히 공급하고 재원의 낭비를 줄여야 한다. 그러나 우리나라의 많은 대도시들의 경우처럼 특히 상수도 시설이 거대해 지고 급수구역이 광범위하며 복잡한 배수시설을 가지고 있는 지역에 있어서는 모든 현상을 정확하게 파악하고 유지관리하기가 매우 어렵게 되므로 운영관리상 많은 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점에 보다 효율적으로 대처하기 위해서는 가장 기본적으로 현재의 상수도 시설에 대한 수리적 상태를 파악하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대도시 상수도 시설의 효율적 운영 및 확장에 기본이 되는 현재의 상수도 시설에 대한 시설현황, 운영, 수리상태를 파악 하고, 밸브의 개폐에 따른 수리학적 특성 변화를 제시하고자 하였다. 관망 해석에 필요한 입력 자료는 실제 운영되고 있는 광주광역시의 상수도 급배수 관망 시설을 대상으로 산출 하였고 관망해석 프로그램인 Pipenet 98을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서 대상 구역에 대해 수리적 특성 변화를 모의한 결과 상수 관로내의 밸브 개폐도를 $100\%$ 유지시켰을 때 평균 수압은 $4.4kg/cm^2$으로 나타났으며 밸브 개폐도 $80\%$일 때의 평균 수압 $4.7kg/cm^2$, 밸브 개폐도 $60\%$일 때의 평균 수압은 $4.69kg/cm^2$으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐도가 $100\%$일 때가 밸브를 $60\%$와 $80\%$ 개폐시켰을 때보다 $0.3kg/cm^2,\;0.29kg/cm^2$ 낮게 나타나 밸브를 전체 개방 했을 때 관로내의 수압이 상수설계기준에 적합한 수압을 유지함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

이동장수 먹는샘물 공장부지내에 파쇄대에 위치한 관정에서 인공수압파쇄 및 인공함양 시험을 실시하여 대수성 산출 증대효과와 저장 증대효과를 살펴보았다. 인공수압파쇄 시험은 두개의 관정(MW-2, O-7)에 실시하였고, 마찬가지로 인공함양 시험도 다른 두개의 관정(O-7a, MW-7)에 대해서 실시하였다. 또한 대수성 산출능의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 인공수압파쇄 및 인공함양시험 전후에 각각 양수 시험을 실시하여 비양수량, 투수계수, 및 수위강하를 구하였다. 따라서 사전 사후 대수성 시험 비교 결과 인공수압파쇄 시험에서는 평균적으로 약 367 %의 투수계수의 증가율과 271 %의 비양수량의 증가를 나타내었다. 마찬가지로 인공함양 시험 결과 O-7a는 약 110%의 투수계수의 증가와 약 75%의 비양수량의 증가를 보였다. 반면에 MW-7는 거의 변화가 없었다. 인공함양시험은 인공수압파쇄시험보다 낮은 투수계수 증가율을 보이거나 거의 변화를 일으키지 못했지만 주변에 있는 관정에 주입압과 비슷한 양상를 갖는 수위변화를 일으키는 것으로 보아서 함양된 주입수가 주변의 대수층에 널리 퍼져 있을 것으로 추측된다.

To elucidate the effects of flow rate on the hydraulic fracturing property of andesite, the hydraulic fracturing tests were conducted under three flow rates. As the tests are conducted with 1ml/min, 2ml/min and 3 ml/min under the constant axial load of 40 kN, the breakdown pressures of andesite seem to be constant as 163kg/cm$^2$. The hydraulic fracturing tests were carried out under the temperatures of five stages to elucidate the effects of temperature variation on hydraulic fracturing property of granite. As the tests are carried out under the constant flow rate of 1.7ml/min, with the axial load of 40kN, the breakdown pressures of granite are 168kg/cm$^2$ at room temperature, and 124kg/cm$^2$ at 20$0^{\circ}C$. The breakdown pressure decreases about 25% than that of room temperature with increasing the temperature. Under the controlled flow rates, the initiation pressures of the microcracks of granite are well coincided with the breakdown pressures and these results are also confirmed by the levels of acoustic emission.

A new constitutive model is proposed for normally consolidated clays. A main skeleton of the proposed model is based on the concepts of the incremental stress-strain theory by Roscoe and Poorooshasb. The equation of the undrained stress path is formulated by introducing the new pore pressure parameter(C), which is the slope of the linear line in the plot of the normalized pore pressure against the stress ratio. Once the stress increment along the constant stress ratio path (followed by untrained stress path) is know, the volumetric strains are calculated from the linear characteristics between void ratio and logarithm of the mean normal stress for any stress ratio. Then the incremental shear strains are successfully predicted by applying the flow rule derived in the modified theory by Roscoe and Burland.

Since the hydraulic fracturing field testing method was introduced first to Korean geotechnical engineers in 1994, there have been lots of progresses in a hardware system as well as an interpretation tool. The hydrofracturing system of first generation was the pipe-line type, so it was not easy to handle. It had been modified to a wire-line system at their second generation. It was more compact one but it also needed an additional air-compressor. Our current system is much more compact and operated by all-in-one system, so it doesn't need an additional air-compressor. With a progress in a hardware system, the software for analyzing the in-situ stress regime has also been progressed. For example, the shut-in pressure, which is the most ambiguous parameter to be obtained from hydrofracturing pressure curves, can now be acquired automatically from the various methods. While the hardware and software for hydrofracturing tests are being developed during the last decade, the author could accumulate the field test results which can cover the almost whole area of South Korea. Currently these field data are used widely in a feasibility study or a preliminary design step for tunnel construction in Korea. Regarding the difficulties in a site selection and a test performance for the in-situ stress measurement at an off-shore area, the in-situ stress regime obtained from the field experiences in the land area can be used indirectly for the design of a sub-sea tunnel. From the hydrofracturing stress measurements, the trend of magnitude and direction of in-situ stress field was shown identically with the geological information in Korea.

The behavior of wave-induced pore water pressure inside the rubble mound and seabed, and the resultant structure failure are investigated, which are used in design of the composite breakwater representing the coastal and harbor structures. Numerical simulation techniques have been widely used to assess these behaviors through linear and nonlinear methods in many researches. While the combination of strongly nonlinear analytical method and turbulence model have not been applied yet, which can simulate these characteristics more accurately. In this study, olaFlow model considering the wave-breaking and turbulent phenomena is applied through VOF and LES methods, which gives more exact solution by using the multiphase flow analytical method. The verification of olaFlow model is demonstrated by comparing the experimental and numerical results for the interactions of regular waves-seabed and regular waves-composite breakwater-seabed. The characteristics of the spatial distributions of horizontal wave pressure, excess-pore-water pressure, mean flow velocity and mean vorticity on the upright caisson, and inside the rubble mound and seabed are discussed, as well as the relation between the mean distribution of vorticity size and mean turbulent kinetic energy. And the stability of composite breakwater are also discussed.

For the design of composite breakwater as representative one of the coastal and harbor structures, it has been widely discussed by the researchers about the relation between the behavior of excess-pore-water pressure inside the rubble mound and seabed caused by the wave load and its structural failure. Recently, the researchers have tried to verify its relation through the numerical simulation technique. The above researches through numerical simulation have been mostly applied by the linear and nonlinear analytic methods, but there have been no researches through the numerical simulation by the strongly nonlinear mutiphase flow analytical method considering wave-breaking phenomena by VOF method and turbulence model by LES method yet. In the preceding research of this study, olaFlow model based on the mutiphase flow analytical method was applied to the nonlinear interaction analysis of regular wave-composite breakwater-seabed. Also, the same numerical techniques as preceding research are utilized for the analysis of irregular wave-composite breakwater-seabed in this study. Through this paper, it is investigated about the horizontal wave pressures, the time variations of excess-pore-water pressure and their frequency spectra, mean flow velocities, mean vorticities, mean turbulent kinetic energies and etc. around the caisson, rubble mound of the composite breakwater and seabed according to the changes of significant wave height and period. From these results, it was found that maximum nondimensional excess-pore water pressure, mean turbulent kinetic energy and mean vorticity come to be large equally on the horizontal plane in front of rubble mound, circulation of inflow around still water level and outflow around seabed is formed in front of rubble caisson.
