Modulus of deformation of soil is an essential parameter used for design analysis of foundations, despite its importance; little attention is paid to developing empirical models for predicting the sensitivity of deformation moduli to other parameters that obtained from the pressuremeter tests. Various methods of analysis used to predict the horizontal at rest pressure from pressuremeter testing ($P_o$), these values showed distinctive variations, five methods used to evaluate the values of horizontal at rest pressure, these values been used to evaluate the modulus of elasticity using three methods of analysis. The values of modulus showed distinctive increase when the values of horizontal at rest pressure increase for the same pressuremeter test, these increases may reach to 65%. This sensitivity of the moduli to values of horizontal lead the author to propose some reliable methods of analysis for both the horizontal at rest pressure and the modulus of deformation from pressuremeter testing.

Estimation of fracture initiation pressure is one of the most difficult technical challenges in hydraulic fracturing treatment of vertical or horizontal oil wells. In this study, the influence of in-situ stresses and pore pressure values on fracture initiation pressure and its profile in vertical and horizontal oil wells in a normal stress regime have been investigated. Cohesive elements with traction-separation law (XFEM-based cohesive law) are used for simulating the fracturing process in a fluid-solid coupling finite element model. The maximum nominal stress criterion is selected for initiation of damage in the cohesive elements. The stress intensity factors are verified for both XFEM-based cohesive law and analytical solution to show the validation of the cohesive law in fracture modeling where the compared results are in a very good agreement with less than 1% error. The results showed that, generally by increasing the difference between the maximum and minimum horizontal stress, the fracture pressure and its profile has been strongly changed in the vertical wells. Also, it's been clearly observed that in a horizontal well drilled in the direction of minimum horizontal stress, the values of fracture pressure have been significantly affected by the difference between overburden pressure and maximum horizontal stress. Additionally, increasing pore pressure from under-pressure regime to over-pressure state has made a considerable fall on fracture pressure in both vertical and horizontal oil wells.

In this study, field test on utilization of recycled aggregates and crushed stone as horizontal drains to use an alternative material of sand in soft ground is practiced. The settlement with time showed similarly ranged from 28.4-30.3 cm in the all horizontal materials. The excess pore water pressure of the recycled aggregates and crushed stone showed smaller than sand. The small the excess pore water pressure becomes faster the consolidation period and it can reduces the amount of residual settlement. Therefore, it was verified as having enough to an alternative materials that the field applicability is excellent. The distribution of earth pressure with time showed similarly in the all horizontal materials. The recycled aggregates and crushed stone was very applicable to practice because there is no mat resistance in the horizontal drains layer. The penetration rate in the SCP and PVD improvement sections did not show large differences as the grain size and the horizontal drainage height increases.

The seaward reverse wave, occurring on the submerged dual porous horizontal plate, can contribute to the reduction of the transmitted wave as it reflects the propagating wave. However, the collision between the propagating and seaward reverse waves increases the water level and acts as a weight on the horizontal plate. This study investigated the characteristics of the wave pressure created by the seaward reverse wave through the analysis of experimental data. The analysis confirmed the following results: 1) the time series of the wave pressure showed reverse phase phenomena due to the collision, and the wave pressures acted simultaneously on both upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal plate; 2) the horizontal plate became repeatedly compressed and tensile before and after the occurrence of the seaward reverse wave; and 3) the seaward reverse wave created the total wave pressure to the maximum towards the direction of gravity, primarily on the upper plate. It was also confirmed that the wave distributions showed a similar trend to the wave steepness. Such outcome of the analysis will provide basic information to the structural analysis of the horizontal plate as a wave dissipater of the steel-type breakwater (STB).

준설토의 표층개량을 위해 타설하는 수평배수재의 개량효과를 증가하기 위하여 수평배수재의 단부에 진공압을 가하여 지중의 간극수를 강제로 배출하는 진공압식 수평배수공법이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 진공압의 크기에 따른 준설매립지반의 압밀 및 강도 증가효과를 규명하기 위하여 토조시험을 실시한 후 순수 자중압밀의 경우와 비교하였다. 그 결과 자중압밀의 경우 표층부로부터 깊이가 깊어질수록 함수비가 작아지는 경향을 보였으나, 진공압이 재하된 경우는 진공압의 크기가 커질수록 배수재 주위에 낮은 함수비가 배수재에서 멀어질수록 높은 함수비 분포를 나타내었다. 진공압이 재하된 경우 준설토의 전단강도 또한 배수재를 중심으로 큰 개량효과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 토조시험기의 폭이 0.5m로 실제 현장에서 적용되는 배수재 간격이 0.7m~1.2m인 것을 고려했을 때 토조시험기에서는 진공압 30kPa~40kPa 범위에서 최적의 압밀효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Chracteristics on evaporating pressure drop of HCs refrigerants inside a horizontal tube were studied experimentally. Experimental results were presented for pressure drops of hydrocarbon refrigerants R-290, R-600a, R-1270 and HCFC refrigerant R-22 inside a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. Three tubes with a tube diameter of 12.70mm, 9.52mm and 6.35mm were used for this study. Hydrocarbon refrigerants showed higher evaporating pressure drop than that of R-22 in all tubes. The highest pressure drop was founded in R-600a. The highest evaporating perssure drop of all refrigerants was shown in a tube diameter of 6.35mm with same mass flux. The results can be used as the basic data for the design of heat exchanger using hydrocarbon refrigerants as an alternatives.

The horizontal drain method is one of methods improving reclamation ground. This method reduces consolidation time by using drained installed horizontally, and negative pressure is applied on end of these drains by vacuum pump. But, effective negative pressure still wasn't evaluated in applying this method to reclamation ground. To estimate optimum negative pressure, soil box test that make a model the in-situ by installing horizontal drains in the center is performed pressing different vacuum pressure In the laboratory, and the variations in settlement and volume of drained water through the drains during consolidation process were measured. Also, water content with distance from drain and with depth is measured after the test.

Combining the radial well drilling and hydraulic fracturing technique, the production capacity of the reservoirs with low-permeability can be improved effectively. Due to the existence of radial holes, the stress around the well is redistributed, and the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures are different with those in traditional hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influences of radial horizontal wells on hydraulic fracturing. The laboratory experiment was conducted to simulate the hydraulic fracturing on the physical model with radial holes. The experimental results showed that, compared with the borehole without radial holes, the sample with radial hole in the direction of maximum horizontal stress was fractured with significantly lower pressure. As the angle between direction of the horizontal hole and the maximum horizontal stress increased, the breakdown pressure grew. While when the radial hole was drilled towards the direction of the minimum horizontal stress, the breakdown pressure increased to that needed in the borehole without radial holes. When the angle between the radial hole and the maximum horizontal stress increase, the pressure required to propagate the fractures grew apparently, and the fracture become complex. Meanwhile, the deeper the radial hole drilled, the less the pressure was needed for fracturing.

본 연구에서는 제주 지역에서 어스앵커로 지지된 흙막이벽의 측방토압 적용을 평가하기 위하여, 2개의 현장 시공 사례를 기반으로 수평변위에 대한 계측값과 예측값을 비교하였다. 흙막이벽에 작용하는 측방토압의 예측은 Rankine 토압, Hong & Yun 측방토압, Terzaghi & Peck 수정측방토압, Tschebotarioff 측방토압을 이용하여 탄소성해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, A현장에 대한 최대 수평변위의 예측값은 계측값에 비하여 약 10배~12배로 화인되었으며, B현장의 경우에는 예측값이 계측값보다 약 9배~12배로 평가되었다. 즉, 2개 현장 모두 계측값에 비해 예측값에 의한 최대 수평변위가 유사한 증가율을 보였다. 모든 현장 사례에서 계측값에 의한 최대 수평변위는 퇴적층, 연암층 및 클링커층에서 발생하였고, 수평변위 형상은 사다리꼴 형태에 나타냈다. 그리고 예측값에 의한 최대 수평변위는 클링커층 주변에서 발생하였으며, 수평변위 형상은 타원형으로 나타났다. 클링커층이 혼재되어 있는 지반에서 계측값이 예측값과 매우 다른 수평변위 경향을 보이는 원인으로는 클링커층이 암반층과 연속된 지층의 형태로 존재하기 때문으로 판단되었다. 즉, 예측되는 토압 분포와 상당히 다른 경향을 보이는 제주 지역의 토압 분포 특성을 고려하면 과다하게 평가되는 기존의 예측방법을 적용하는 것은 다소 무리가 있을 것으로 판단되기 때문에, 보다 경제성을 확보할 수 있는 현실적인 제주 지역의 측방토압에 관한 연구가 수행될 필요가 있다.
