Spilling pollutants and its contamination to the ground have serious impact to public resulting in various research about remediation techniques. In this study, the use of amphiphilic block copolymer for remediation was investigated with a series of laboratory tests on removal of hydrophobic contaminant in soil. Four types of amphiphilic block copolymer were developed and the efficiency of the cleaning was compared with surfactant using arbitrary diesel-contaminated soils. The results of the study show that the use of amphiphilic polymer in the soil washing process significantly enhanced the remediation of the contaminated soil and a potential of new methodology of eco-friendly remediation.

With a view to resolving environmental problems of hazardous cement, this study seeks to identify the unconfined compressive strength and bending strength of the vegetation block designed herein by utilizing high-strength natural soil stabilizer instead of cement. Soil stabilizer is mainly made of mixture of short fiber extracted from natural fiber and lime, etc. Soil stabilizer reinforces the shearing strength of soil to improve block supportive power and durability while preventing flood and frost damages. For the unconfined compressive strength test, test pieces were prepared by mixing soil stabilizer and weathered soil in different ratios of 6 %, 12 % and 18 %. Experiments were carried out according to curing periods of 5th, 7th, 14th and 28th of the day. For bending strength test, blocks were made in the same mixture ratios as for the unconfined compressive test and tested for each stage. Also, to evaluate for the field applicability, proposed optimum water content considering the characteristics of the soil stabilizer. Permeability test result for the vegetation block, satisfied by the KS F 4419 quality standards.

하천시설물 설계, 시공 및 관리에 재료에 따른 호안이나 제방의 보호능력이 저하되어 설계 시 예상하지 못한 조건에서 쉽게 파손될 수 있으며, 하천환경의 변화를 야기시킬 수 있다. 제방 표면재료는 제외 비탈면의 침식 방지를 목적으로 사용되는 재료로 주로 호안블록. 식생 매트, 사석, 돌망태, 식생등이 주로 사용되며 국내에서는 2000년대 이전에는 자연 흙사면의 식생, 돌망태, 단순 돌기형 콘크리트 블록 등이 주로 사용되었으며 2000년대 이후에는 하천환경을 고려하여 식생의 생장이 가능한 친환경 호안 블록 및 식생 매트의 적용이 일반적인 실정이다. 제방의 수리적 설계를 위해서는 표면 재료의 수리 특성, 즉, 조도계수 및 한계 유속, 한계 소류력이 제시되어야 하는데 이는 실험을 통해서 결정되어야 한다. 때문에 본 연구에서는 자연형 하상재료를 이용하여 바이오 폴리머 첨가시 증가하는 방어능력에 대한 향상도를 평가하는 실험적 평가 방법을 제안하기위해 홍수시 수리조건을 반영하여 상류에서부터 사류까지 다양한 유속범위에 따른 세굴 및 침식에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 실험연구를 통해 연구에 사용된 재료 외 추가적인 재료에 대해서도 평가방법이 적용될 수 있도록 제방 재료의 안정성 평가시스템을 개발하였고, 안정성 평가를 위한 실험진행은 기 개발된 바닥응력을 직접측정하는 장치와 PIV시스템을 이용하여 수리특성을 측정하였다.(Park J.H. et al. 2016, Flow Measurment and instrumentation.) 이러한 측정 장치를 이용하여 바이오폴리머의 첨가에 유무에 따라 세굴에 대한 방어능력의 향상정도를 측정하고자 세굴 및 침식에 대한 평가 방법을 제시하고 있다.

This paper presents a case history of a geosynthetics-reinforced segmental retaining wall, which collapsed during a severe rainfall immediately after the completion of the wall construction. In an attempt to identify possible causes for the collapse, a comprehensive investigation was carried out including physical and strength tests on the backfill, stability analyses on the as-built design based on the current design approaches, and slope stability analyses with pore pressure consideration. The investigation revealed that the inappropriate as-built design and the bad-quality backfill were mainly responsible for the collapse. This paper describes the site condition including wall design, details of the results of investigation and finally, lessons learned. Practical significance of the findings from this study is also discussed.

Recently, construction of reinforced earth structure using geosynthetics has been increased because it has advantages such as construction efficient, cost effectiveness and appearance aspect against existing gravity or cantilever retaining wall. However due to the climate change in Korea excessive inflow of ground water and surface water from heavy rainfall could affect the stability of reinforced retaining wall seriously. So the discharge capacity of drains should be evaluated by using experimental method in the design of reinforced earth wall. In this study, instead of concrete block used in most of the retaining wall, eco-friendly porous soilbag was used. This paper describes the test method and result of the laboratory testing for determination of discharge capacity utilizing PBDs.

After debris flow caused damage during recent years, many scholars and engineers have thrown their effort into analyzing risk from debris flow in Korea. But it is hard to predict damage by debris flow taken place in wide area. Recently, SINMAP program is widely well used to estimate the amount of debris flow and its' range. In order to make frequent use of it, the most important thing is selection of accurate input parameters. In-situ experiments, which are avaliable in the mountain, is to be suggested to get dependable input parameters for SINMAP. Those are permeability, cohesion, density, friction angle and thickness in SINMAP. To get those, test pit, block sampling, in-situ density test, auger boring, permeability test on ground surface, borehole shear test and dynamic cone test and so forth were selected. In addition, the reliability of the results will be increased through comparing with those by laboratory tests. Hence, the experiments are hard to enter the sites without temporary road and, if possible, licensing and many times are needed, too. Small size experiments are indeed necessary to get accurate parameters.

The Sunghak Campus, Dong-A University, which located at the excavated area of mountain, has been constructed year by year for about 10 years since 1978. The buildings, steep slopes, road and so on in the Campus area were damaged by heavy rainfall more than 200mm 1 day on August, 1989. The methods used for the investigation and repair methods of the damage are the preliminary investigation, the present condition survey, 50 by 50m grid survey, compasstraverse for locating outcrops, geopysical exploration, geologic survey, boring and laboratory soil testing. Based on the results of investigations, the causes of the failures have been evaluated, and the repair methods have been set up as horizontal drains, removal of the dangerous rock, retaining wall with subsurface drains, the elimination of colluvium and slope stabilization by use of precast concrete grids and so on.

The result can be summarized as follows. First, the following periodically changing characteristics were examined:roof form(gambrel/hipped-flat-gable), structure of roof and wall(wood-framed-cement masonry-RC-Light iron framed), roof material(thatched-tiled-slate-cement/steel sheet-asphalt/sandwich panel/mortar water-proofing), wall material(clay plaster/lime plastered-dressing tile/bricks-painting on the cement plastering-native stone dressing/siding/tile), fence material(masonry of stone and cement bricks), and courtyard materials(clay and concrete). Secondly, the regionally changing characteristics of those elements, rural housing structure, roof form, roof structure material, wall finishing material, fence and courtyard material in the outer space, differed according to the location of rural housing, i.e.north, middle, south region. The changing characteristics of both the roof structure and wall structure are similar to those of the three regions.

This paper describes the results of pullout tests in the laboratory, which are conducted to assess the pullout performance of recently developed geosynthetic strip reinforcement with rounded band anchor. The geosynthetic strip can be used as reinforcements in reinforced soil wall with concrete block facing. The pullout resistance of the geosynthetic strip with rounded band anchor is mobilized by the combination of the interface friction between soil-reinforcement surface and the passive soil resistance caused by the rounded band anchor. Therefore, both the friction resistance and the passive resistance have to be considered in design. From the pullout test results, when the rounded band anchor are formed in the end part of the geosynthetic strip, pullout strength increases about from 10% to 65%. The passive resistance can be evaluated based on the pullout test results.
