Cofferdams made of teel sheet piles are commonly utilized as support structures for excavation of sea-crossing bridge foundations. As cofferdams are often subject to tide variation, it is imperative to consider potential effects of tide on stability and serviceability of sheet piles, particularly, ultralong steel sheet piles (USSPs). In this study, a real USSP cofferdam constructed using new construction technology in Nanxi River was reported. The design of key parts of USSP cofferdam in the presence of tidal action was first introduced followed by the description of entire construction technology and associated monitoring results. Subsequently, a three-dimensional finite-element model corresponding to all construction steps was established to back-analyze measured deflection of USSPs. Finally, a series of parametric studies was carried out to investigate effects of tide level, soil parameters, support stiffness and construction sequence on lateral deflection of USSPs. Monitoring results indicate that the maximum deflection during construction occurred near the riverbed. In addition, measured stress of USSPs showed that stability of USSP cofferdam strengthened as construction stages proceeded. Moreover, the numerical back-analysis demonstrated that the USSP cofferdam fulfilled the safety requirements for construction under tidal action. The maximum deflection of USSPs subject to high tide was only 13.57 mm at a depth of -4 m. Sensitivity analyses results showed that the design of USSP cofferdam system must be further improved for construction in cohesionless soils. Furthermore, the 5th strut level before concreting played an indispensable role in controlling lateral deflection of USSPs. It was also observed that pumping out water before concreting base slab could greatly simplify and benefit construction program. On the other hand, the simplification in construction procedures could induce seepage inside the cofferdam, which additionally increased the deflection of USSPs by 10 mm on average.

A study of the evolution of overburden fractures under the solid-fluid coupling state was conducted based on the geological and mining characteristics of the coal seam depth, weak strata cementation, and high-intensity mining in the mining areas of West China. These mining characteristics are key to achieving water conservation during mining or establishing groundwater reservoirs in coal mines. Based on the engineering background of the Daliuta Coal Mine, a non-hydrophilic simulation material suitable for simulating the weakly cemented rock masses in this area was developed, and a physical simulation test was carried out using a water-sand gushing test system. The study explored the spatial distribution and dynamic evolution of the fractured zone in the mining overburden under the coupling of stress and seepage. The experimental results show that the mining overburden can be vertically divided into the overall migration zone, the fracture extension zone and the collapse zone; additionally, in the horizontal direction, the mining overburden can be divided into the primary fracture zone, periodic fracture zone, and stop-fracture zone. The scope of groundwater flow in the overburden gradually expands with the mining of coal seams. When a stable water inrush channel is formed, other areas no longer generate new channels, and the unstable water inrush channels gradually close. Finally, the primary fracture area becomes the main water inrush channel for coal mines. The numerical simulation results indicate that the overlying rock breaking above the middle of the mined-out area allows the formation of the water-conducting channel. The water body will flow into the fracture extension zone with the shortest path, resulting in the occurrence of water bursting accidents in the mining face. The experimental research results provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of water conservation mining or the establishment of groundwater reservoirs in western mining areas, and this theoretical basis has considerable application and promotion value.

Waste landfills have been the center of environmental problems and they must be restored due to environmental pollution, disgusting landscape, and cost of management. It is suggested that they be recycled urban space as cities expand. Specially, nonsanitary waste landfills which have no pollution prevention facilities cause serious problems. Restoring the landfills as parks and golf courses, so on makes more benefits because of cheap use land, closeness to urban area, flat topography applicable to parks and golf courses, and high land values after restoration and the changes to local recreation sites. Restoration of waste landfills is a complex, costly, and interdisciplinary work. But, the waste landfill is a manmade ecosystem. Control, restoration and postmanagement of waste landfills are very important problems. The role of vegetation prevents soil erosion, reduces soil water storage, and obstructs leachate seepage. Early restoration makes derelict lands into man park artificially geared to soil, vegetation, landforms and hydrology. But, Ideal restoration is to make stable ecosystem nature-friendly and compatible with surrounding landscape without more management. Landscape is structured hierarchically with patches and stands as small components and forms forest as large components. Therefore, landscape formation of the waste landfills needs much restoration process. There are many ecological restoration techniques for the waste landfills. Those are divided into artificial and natural methods. The artificial method is anthropogenic plantings while the natural method is to trigger and use succession processes. The most important thing in the restoration of waste landfills is to consider the final restoration objectives of each waste landfill. According to these objectives, the depth of covering layer, planting degree, and structural design should be determined. The effective restoration methods should be selected of artificial and natural options.

In this study, a large laboratory model experiment was conducted with the aim of developing an embankment reinforcement method to prevent overtopping, which is the main cause for the failure of agricultural reservoirs. The model experiment was carried out with concrete and asphalt as a permanent reinforcement method and with geomembrane as the emergency method at a deteriorated homogeneous reservoir. Under the non-reinforced conditions, the pattern of the failure appeared in several scour directions from the downstream slope as the overtopping began, and the width and depth of the erosion were magnified as it gradually moved to the dam crest. Under the conditions reinforced with asphalt and concrete, the overtopping was stabilized. In the case of the concrete reinforcement, it was found that the slope of the riprap boundary exhibited downward erosion by the current; thus, it was necessary to construct an extension up to the riprap joint of the upstream and downstream sides to prevent the expansion of the failure. Under the conditions reinforced with the geomembrane sheet, the overtopping was stabilized, and no seepage was found that required the emergency reinforcement method. Asphalt, concrete, and geomembrane sheet reinforcements have been shown to be capable of delaying failure for about 1 hour and 40 minutes compared to the non-reinforcement conditions. The reinforcement method is considered to be a very effective method to prevent disasters during overtopping. The pore water pressure can be used as useful data to predict the risk of failure at an embankment.

In this study, the large scale test was performed to investigate the behavior of failure on the embankment and spillway transitional zone by overtopping. The pore water pressure, earth pressure, settlement and failure behaviors according to several reinforcing method were compared and analyzed. The pore water pressure showed a small change in the spillway transition zone and core, indicating that the riprap and geotextile efficiently reinforced the embankment, but non-reinforcement showed a largely change in pore water pressure. The earth pressure by riprap and geotextile at upstream slope and bottom core increased rapidly with the infiltration of the pore water by overtopping. And the earth pressure at crest showed a smally change due to effect of the inclined core. A settlement by riprap showed a small change and the geotextile decreased a rapidly due to failure of crest. The width of failure by riprap at intermediate stage (50 min) showed a largely due to sliding of crest. But, the width and depth of the seepage erosion after the intermediate overtopping period (100 min) were very small due to the effect of riprap than geotextile and non-reinforcement which delayed failure. It has the effect that protect reservoir embankment from erosion in the central part. The pore water pressure at the spillway transition zone due to overtopping increased a rapidly in the case of non-reinforcement, but the reinforced methods by geotextile and riprap showed a smally change. Therefore, the reinforced method by riprap and geotextile was a very effective method to protect permanently and the emergency an embankment due to overtopping, respectively.

이 연구는 오염원 유출을 방지하기 위한 해상폐기물매립장 차수시스템에 요구되는 적절한 기준을 제안하기 위해 수행되었다. 차수시스템은 바닥층과 연직벽으로 구성된다. 바닥층은 불투수 점토층으로 연직벽은 이중벽체로 외곽벽체는 강관쉬트파일로 외력에 대한 저항을 담당하고 연직내부벽체가 차수를 담당하는 것으로 가정하였다. SEEP/W와 CTRAN/W 프로그램을 이용하여 침투-이류-분산 해석을 정상류 및 비정상류 조건에서 실시하였다. 해석결과, 정상류 조건에서 비정상류 조건 보다 오염원 이동이 크게 나타나 설계관점에서 차수기준은 정상류조건에서 산정된 값을 적용하는 것이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 바닥층의 점토지반이 균질하고 연직차수시스템의 시공에 문제가 없다는 전제하에 정상류조건에서 오염원 이동의 차수에 요구되는 점토층 및 연직차수벽의 투수계수, 두께, 근입깊이 등이 제안되었다.

우리나라에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 화강풍화토 사면에서 강우침투로 인한 사면파괴는 통상 지하수위 위쪽의 얕은 깊이에서 발생한다. 지하수위 위쪽 지반의 간극수압은 대기압에 대하여 음의 값을 갖는다. 이러한 모관흡수력의 존재와 크기는 사면의 안정성에 크게 기여하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서, 계절적 강우에 의한 풍화토 사면의 얕은 파괴기구(failure mechanism)를 규명하기 위해서는 비포화대에서의 모관흡수력 분포를 예측하는 것이 필수적이다. 이 연구에서는 2001년 6월부터 8월까지 화강풍화토 사면에서 모관흡수력 및 체적함수비를 현장 모니터링 하였으며, 대상지반에 대한 투수해석을 수행하였다. 현장 모니터링 결과, 기후조건의 영향력은 깊이에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 강우침투에 의한 지반내 모관흡수력의 감소는 강우량 및 강우지속시간 뿐만 아니라 강우직전의 모관흡수력 분포에도 큰 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 모니터링된 모관흡수력과 체적함수비를 이용하여 현장 흙-수분특성을 얻을 수 있었는데 습윤경로(wetting path)에 가까운 분포를 보였다.

동해 울릉분지의 천부퇴적층은 상부사면에는 함몰사태와 미끄럼사태 퇴적체가 분포하며, 중부와 하부사면에는 쇄설류 퇴적체가 우세하고 분지평원에는 저탁류/반원양성 퇴적체가 분포한다. 기존연구에 의하면 울릉분지에서 가스 또는 가스하이드레이트의 부존이 확인되었으며, 이들에 대한 연구는 해양자원, 환경변화 그리고 지질재해적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 고해상도 탄성파 자료를 분석하여 울릉분지에 존재하는 천부가스관련 구조들(음향공백기둥, 증폭반사면, 돔구조, 폭마크, 가스유출구조)의 음향특성 및 분포특성을 파악하였다. 음향공백기둥은 퇴적층 내에서 투명한 기둥형태를 보이며 주로 분지평원에서 나타난다. 강한 진폭특성을 보이는 증폭반사면은 퇴적층 내에서 층리를 따라 수평적으로 수십 km 이상 연장되어 나타난다. 또한, 돔구조는 가스가 퇴적층의 공극을 채워 해저면이 부풀어 오른 형태를 보이며, 하부사면에서 주로 확인된다. 폭마크는 해저면이 움푹 파인 형태로 중부와 하부사면에서 분포한다. 가스유출구조는 주변 퇴적층에 비해 매우 약한 반사강도를 보이며, 중부사면에서 우세하게 나타난다. 이러한 가스관련 구조들은 퇴적층 내에서 가스가 수평 수직적으로 이동하여 수층으로 방출되는 과정 중에 형성된다. 또한, 가스관련 구조들의 분포양상은 상부퇴적층의 퇴적상과 수심에 따른 가스의 용해도 차이에 의해 조절된 것으로 사료된다. 특히, 울릉분지 사면지역의 쇄설류 퇴적체는 무질서하고 불연속적인 퇴적구조를 보이며, 이는 가스의 이동을 용이하게 한다. 반면, 분지의 저탁류 퇴적체는 수평층리가 잘 발달되어 있어, 가스의 수직이동을 제한하는 것으로 해석된다.
