This work examines the dynamic properties of ice surfaces in vacuum for the temperature range of 140~180 K, which extends over the onset temperatures for ice sublimation and the phase transition from amorphous to crystallization ice. In particular, the study focuses on the transport processes of excess protons and chloride ions in ice and their segregative behavior to the ice surface. These phenomena were studied by conducting experiments with a relatively thick (~100 BL) ice film constructed with a bottom $H_2O$ layer and an upper $D_2O$ layer, with excess hydronium and chloride ions trapped at the $H_2O$/$D_2O$ interface as they were generated by the ionization of hydrogen chloride. The migration of protons, chloride ions, and water molecules to the ice film surface and their H/D exchange reactions were measured as a function of temperature using the methods of low energy sputtering (LES) and Cs+ reactive ion scattering (RIS). Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments monitored the desorption of water and hydrogen chloride from the surface. Our observations indicated that both hydronium and chloride ions migrated from the interfacial layer to segregate to the surface at high temperature. Hydrogen chloride gas desorbs via recombination reaction of hydronium and chloride ions floating on the surface. Surface segregation of these species is driven by thermodynamic potential gradient present near the ice surface, whereas in the bulk, their transport is facilitated by thermal diffusion process. The finding suggests that chlorine activation reactions of hydrogen chloride for polar stratospheric ice particles occur at the surface of ice within a depth of at most a few molecular layers, rather than in the bulk phase.

Melting characteristics of unrestrained liquid ice in a rectangular vessel with heated top wall were investigated experimentally. The liquid ice, a mixture of ice particles and ethylene-glycol aqueous solution, was adopted as a testing material. During the melting process the liquid ice was drawn by buoyancy to the heated top wall of the rectangular vessel where close-contact melting occured. The melting behavior and melting rate of the liquid ice as well as local/mean heat-transfer coefficient at the heated top wall were observed and measured under a variety of conditions of heat flux and various initial concentration of the aqueous binary solution. It was found that the heat transfer of the heated top wall is remarkably promoted by the close-contact melting, and that the dendritic frozen layer at the lower interface of the liquid ice is formed. Photographic evidence demonstrated that plumes containing solute-rich liquid issued from isolated chimneys within the liquid ice layer where segregation of interstitial channel took place.

영하의 온도에 의해 지반이 동결되며 발생하는 음의 간극수압은 frozen fringe로부터 간극수 이동을 유발해 ice lens를 형성시키며, ice lens 형성으로 인한 흙의 동상 및 동상팽창압은 지반구조물의 피해를 발생시킨다. 동상에 의한 피해를 방지하기 위해 다양한 동상민감성 판정이 수행되고 있으며, 그 중 가장 활발하게 활용되는 방법은 SP(Segregation Potential)를 이용한 동상민감성 판정이다. 또한, 간극수 이동에 의한 ice lens의 확장은 동상 메커니즘의 핵심 원인으로 작용하기 때문에 수리전도도에 관한 평가가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 모래와 실트를 다양한 중량비로 혼합해 동상실험 및 투수실험에 활용하였으며, 각 경우에 대해 SP 및 수리전도도를 도출하여 비교분석하였다. 그 결과 SP 및 수리전도도가 급격하게 변화하는 임계 전이값이 각각 실트 함유량이 20% 및 50% 인 경우에 나타났다. 이러한 임계 전이값의 차이에도 불구하고 SP는 수리전도도가 감소함에 따라 일정 값에 수렴하는 상관관계를 나타내고 있으며, 향후 임계 전이값 사이에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

From ancient Antarctic glacier ice, we extracted total genomic DNA that was suitable for prokaryotic 16S rDNA gene cloning and sequencing, and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library and end-sequencing. The ice samples were from the Dry Valley region. Age dating by $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ analysis on the volcanic ashes deposited in situ indicated the ice samples are minimum 100,000-300,000 yr (sample DLE) and 8 million years (sample EME) old. Further assay proved the ice survived freeze-thaw cycles or other re-working processes. EME, which was from a small lobe of the basal Taylor glacier, is the oldest known ice on Earth. Microorganisms, preserved frozen in glacier ice and isolated from the rest of the world over a geological time scale, can provide valuable data or insight for the diversity, distribution, survival strategy, and evolutionary relationships to the extant relatives. From the 16S gene cloning study, we detected no PCR amplicons with Archaea-specific primers, however we found many phylotypes belonging to Bacteria divisions, such as Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria $({\alpha},\;{\beta},\;and\;{\gamma})$, Firmicutes, and Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroid$. BAC cloning and sequencing revealed protein codings highly identical to phenylacetic acid degradation protein paaA, chromosome segregation ATPases, or cold shock protein B of present day bacteria. Throughput sequencing of the BAC clones is underway. Viable and culturable cells were recovered from the DLE sample, and characterized by their 16S rDNA sequences. Further investigation on the survivorship and functional genes from the past should help unveil the evolution of life on Earth, or elsewhere, if any.

최근 우리나라는 산업화 및 기술의 현대화로 국토의 유효면적이 인구에 비해 부족하기 때문에 대규모 공유수면을 매립하여 지하구조물 설치를 위한 연약지반의 동결, LNG와 같은 저온 액체를 저장하기 위한 지하저장탱크 건설 및 주변지반의 동결 등 인공동결 공법에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화강풍화루 실트질 흙, 모래질 흙에 대해서 동결시 흙의 거동을 지배하는 동상팽창압과 부동수분의 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. 즉, 단일방향으로 흙이 동결될 때 함수비에 지배되는 결과 뿐만아니라 시간과 온도변화에 대한 동상팽창압을 연관시켜 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 동상팽창압을 보다 더 용이하게 측정할 수 있었고, 온도변화에 따른 동상팽창압과 수분특성을 알 수 있었다. 또한,TDR 장비를 이용하여 온도와 함수비와의 관계를 도출함으로서 동상팽창압이 발현되는데 지배적인 역할을 하는 수분 특성을 제시하였다. 실험조건은 매립지반의 특성상 지하수위가 지표면에 위치하며, 수분공급 방식 또한 수분이동이 없는 폐쇄형에 적합하므로 완전포화 및 각각의 포화도에 따라 동상팽창압 실험과 수분 특성 실험을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 동상팽창압은 세립분을 많이 함유한 흙일수록 발휘되는 동상팽창압은 크게 나타났고, 동상이 발현되기까지의 시간과 동상 지속시간 또한 크게 나타났다. TDR을 이용한 부동수분 측정 결과, 온도가 감소할수록 부동수분이 급격히 감소하였고, 비표면적이 큰 세립분을 많이 함유할수록 부동수분이 많이 존재하였다. 이는 동결된 간극수의 체적증가로 인한 Ice segregation이 발생되어, 부동수분이 많은 흙일수록 동상팽창압도 증가하는 것으로 판단되었다.

The Segregation Potential (SP) is one of the most widely used predictors of frost heave in cold regions. Laboratory step-freezing tests determining a representative SP at the onset of the formation of the last ice lens (near the thermal steady state condition) can predict susceptibility to frost heave. Previous work has proposed empirical semi-log fitting for determination of the representative SP and applied it to several fine-grained soils, but considering only frost-susceptible soils. The presence of fines in coarse-grained soil affects frost susceptibility. Therefore, it is required to evaluate the applicability of the empirical semi-log fitting for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils with fines content. This paper reports laboratory frost heave tests for fines contents of 5%-70%. The frost susceptibility of soil mixtures composed of sand and silt was classified by the representative SP, and the suitability of the empirical semi-log fitting method was assessed. Combining semi-log fitting with simple laboratory frost heave testing using a temperature-controllable cell is shown to be suitable for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils. In addition, initially non-frost-susceptible soil became frost susceptible at a 10%-20% weight fraction of fines. This threshold fines content matched well with transitions in the engineering characteristics of both the unfrozen and frozen soil mixtures.

본 연구에서는 우란바톨(Ulanbator)에서 북경(Beijing)사이의 지역에서 샘플링한 응회암 풍화토의 동상 특성을 규명하기 위해 상재하중 변화에 따른 동결점 저하를 중심으로 양단면 온도 일정$(상단 5^{\circ}C,\; 하단 5^{\circ}C)$의 동상실험 실시하였다. 본 실험을 통해, 빙편 성장에 따른 체적 팽창과 동결면으로의 수분이동을 확인하였다. 그리고 상재하중과 온도와의 관계식을 제안하였다. 상재하중이 증가함에 따라 동상속도는 비례적으로 감소하였고 빙편발생온도의 절대치는 증가하였다. 또한 동결부분의 함수비가 미동결 부분보다 크게, 특히 동결부분에서도 빙정에 가까울수록 함수비는 증가하였다.

The Kanweoldo Deposit in the Cheonsoo Bay western coast of Korean Peninsula is considered to be influenced by severe freezing condition under cold humid environment of the last glacial age. The evidence of severe freezing in the some upper part of the fine-grained Kanweoldo Deposit is characteristically irregular wavy la-mellar structure with the interval of 2∼8mm. In particular lamina show very compacted fabrics composed of rounded or spheroidal discrete aggregates covered by silt caps. Such laminar structure and associated micro-fabrics might owe to soil freezing such as ice segregation in lens form cryophoresis pressure from growing ice and disturbance by frost-creep. Furthermore pedogenesis of cold-humid type such as gleyzation or peseudo-gleyzation also might af-fect the kanweoldo Deposit in the priod of severe cold-humid cli-mate of the Wrm. The Kanweoldo sediment and organic remnant(16,708 B.P. with error limit of 250 years) affected by severe cryogenic activities sug-gest that the paleoclimate of Late Wrm in Korea might be so cold and humid as to engender the cryogenic structure in subaerial silty and sandy silt deposits.

The frost heaving pressure can be a problem for weakening of the railway roadbed material. This study was initiated to investigate the soils frost heaving pressure and physical characteristics(Liquid limit, permeability, SEM analysis) resulting from freezing and freezing-thawing cycle process. Therefore, upon freezing a saturated soil in a closed-system from the top, a considerable pressure was developed. Weathered granite soils, sandy soil were used in the laboratory freezing test which sometimes subjected to thermal gradients under closed-systems. The frost heaving pressure arising within the soil samples and the temperature of the samples inside were monitored with elapsed time. The degree of saturation versus heaving pressure curve is also presented for weathered granite soil and the maximum pressure is closely related to this curve. Based on the laboratory test results, fine-grained soils with strong attractive forces between soil grains md water molecules, and additional water is attracted into the pores leading to further volume changes and ice segregation.

겨울에는 시베리아기단의 영향으로 한랭 건조한 대륙성 고기압의 영향을 받아 춥고 건조하여 1월 평균기온이 $-6{\sim}-7^{\circ}C$의 영하의 온도로 낮아져 지반동결시 수분이동으로 동상현상이 발생하여 도로의 불균형 동결팽창을 초래하며, 결국 포장체를 파손시킨다. 동상발생시 토립자는 모관력에 의해 지하수를 흡수하여 아이스렌즈를 형성하며, 이 모관 흡수력은 토립자의 크기에 영향을 받는다. 도로는 다양한 재료와 단면으로 구성된 구조물이기 때문에 환경성과 재료 물성뿐만 아니라 포장체 각 층의 구조적 적정성 또는 지지력을 파악하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 현재 기존 동상방지층 설계법에 따르면, 동상방지층은 포장체의 구조적 적정성과는 무관하게 온도 조건에 따른 동결깊이에 따라 일률적으로 결정되고 있다. 이러한 동결깊이를 포장구조설계에 적용함으로써 포장의 과다설계 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 도로 동상방지층의 효용성 검증 및 설치기준 확립을 위해 실내동결시스템을 활용하여 도로 노상토의 동상 특성에 대한 민감성을 판별, 도로건설 현장 노상토에 대한 역학적 특성과 실내 동결 시험을 수행하였으며, 외부 동결온도의 지속 조건에 대한 시료의 온도변화, 동상팽창압, 동상팽창량, 부동수분 등의 결과값을 통하여 동결 과정에 따른 지반공학적 특성을 평가하였다.
