The unconfined compressive strength of lightweight treated soils strongly depends on mixing ratio. To characterize the relation between various LTS components and the unconfined compressive strength of LTS, extensive studies have been conducted, proposing normalized factor using regression models based on their experimental results. However, these results obtained from laboratory experiments do not expect consistent prediction accuracy due to complicated relation between materials and mix proportions. In this study, deep neural network model(Deep-LTS), which was based on experimental test results performed on various mixing conditions, was applied to predict the unconfined compressive strength. It was found that the unconfined compressive strength LTS at a given mixing ratio could be resonable estimated using proposed Deep-LTS.

An experimental investigation was carried out to study recycling possibility of waste oyster shells, which induce environmental pollutions from piling up out at the open or the temporary reclamation. The purpose of this paper is to develop eco-friendly binder using waste oyster shells, and to investigate their reinforcing effects for dredged soil improvement. A series of laboratory tests including compressive strength tests were performed to evaluate strength characteristics of soils treated by developed binder with varying water content of dredged soils, mixing rates of binder, and different curing days. Based on laboratory test results, eco-friendly binders developed here using waste oyster shells were found as good resource materials for soft soil improvements.

Field and laboratory studies of the near field behavior of the San Francisco ocean outfall were reported. The data sets cover broad ranges of discharge conditions and oceanic conditions, and are associated with a typical type of outfall discharges with multiport diffusers. The laboratory data sets were obtained in density-stratified towing tanks to replicate the field tests. Model studies of wastefield behavior using these data sets were predicted by the mathematical models UM, UDKHDEN, RSB, and CORMIX2 for minimum dilution, the height to top of wastefield, and wastefield thickness. In this paper, the results are discussed and compared measurements with mathematical model predictions. The hydraulic model studies reproduced the major features observed in the field. It also afforded considerable insight into the mechanics of mixing of multiport risers which could have been obtained neither from the field test nor the mathematical models.

Recently, as large constructions on the coast are performed frequently, surface layer stabilization method which Is one of the improvement methods for dredged soft clay has been applied. However, there have been few studies about the surface layer stabilization method. The purpose of this study is to clarify characteristics of ultra-soft marine clay and hardening agent. Also, optimal mixture ratio of hardening agent was verified through the laboratory tests such as statistical analysis and pilot tests. Laboratory tests were performed with proper hardening agent and test soil and standard mixing tables of hardening agent were determined according to ground conditions through statistical analysis. Also, applicability of surface layer stabilization method to field was verified by pilot tests. From the results of the tests, it was found that hardening agent materials such as cement, slag, fly-ash, inorganic salts, arwin, gypsum etc. affect on the appearing compressive strength. It was defined optimal mixture ratio which satisfies the required compressive strength from the statistical analysis. Also, It was compared the effect of ground improvement by cements and hardening agents through the pilot tests. This study will serve as data for design or construction criteria of stabilization of surface layer on ultra-soft marine clay.

Geotechnical Phenomena such as landslide, groundwater recharge and groundwater fluctuation due to rainfall can be explain to use a dielectric response and infiltration variation by the movement of a wetting front in the subsurface. The infiltration of a wetting front is infiltrating to the connected pores which are distributed in unsaturated soil. In this study we carried out to laboratory experiment of a vertical infiltration column test using ethanol mix-ing tracer which has same the specific gravity of water. All physical values are detected to use a variation of dielectric constant and calculated to use a dielectric mixing model and tracer test model. This dielectric method measured by each dielectric constant of geological soil porous materials should be of for the geotechnical information and useful a field monitoring technique for detecting the variations of the volumetric water content and the wetting front, which are insignificant the key parameter to understanding the landslide by rainfall.

Washing technique using solubilization and surfactant as a extractant was studied by removing contaminants from the cohesive soil contaminated with heavy metal. For this purpose, the laboratory desorption batch tests were peformed in the kaolinite contaminated with lead by using acetic acid as a solubilization and SDS as a anionic surfactant. In desorption batch tests, the effects of extractant concentration and mixing ratio were investigated and also the coupling effects of acetic acid added with surfactant were considered. Test results show that the removal efficiency of acetic acid as a extractant in the kaolinite contaminated with lead increased with increasing the concentration of acetic acid and the acetic acid was found to be more effective when adding CMC 2 or 3 of surfactant. Additionally, regardless of the initial concentration, the efficiency of lead removal from the contaminated soil increased with increasing shaking ratio.

This paper describes the development of the stream-tube based dispersion model for modeling contaminant transport in open channels. The operator-splitting technique is employed to separate the 2D contaminant transport equation into the pure advection and pure dispersion equations. Then the total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes are combined with the second-order Lax-Wendroff and third-order QUICKEST explicit finite difference schemes respectively to solve the pure advection equation in order to prevent the occurrence of numerical oscillations. Due to various limiters owning different features, the numerical tests for 1D pure advection and 2D dispersion are conducted to evaluate the performance of different TVD schemes firstly, then the TVD schemes are applied to experimental data for simulating the 2D mixing in a straight trapezoidal channel to test the model capability. Both the numerical tests and model application show that the TVD schemes are very competent for solving the advection-dominated transport problems.

Cold weather concrete presents the many characteristic variation of quality, according to the mixing and cooling point, the cooling time and the quantity of air besides the compressive strength of concrete. Thus, in this study to verify the character of cold-weather concrete we make the concrete specimens at laboratory and cool them at cooling-melting machine and then test the 7days compressive strength of them, with the variation of compressive strength of concrete, cooling point, cooling time, cooling weather and air quantity. At the results, the compressive strength of concrete decrease in the case of early cooling point, long cooling time, low cooling temperature and the low design compressive strength

The surface layer in dredged and reclaimed marine clay is improved by mixing of shallow soils and hardening agents, which is made of cement, containing some other special admixtures. Tests in both laboratory and field settings are performed to investigate the improvement effect and strength properties of cement-stabilized soils. The test results show that the hardening agent sufficiently improves the soil properties of the surface layer, while increasing the load-carrying capacity. The strength of cement-stabilized soils depends, primarily, on water-to-cement ratio and curing temperature. That is, the higher curing temperature and the longer curing time, the higher the strength in cement-stabilized soils. The high ratio of water-ta-cement results in a lower strength.

Currently about 3.2 millon tons of waste lime are accumulated and annually 100,000 tons are producted. This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of soil mixed with waste lime for reusing of roadbed embanking material. Waste lime used in this study is producted as a by-product in the manufacturing process of making $Na_2CO_3$ from local chemical factory in Incheon. In this study, the feasible reuse of waste lime mixed with granite weathered soil, clay, crushed rock was investigated through laboratory tests including specific gravity test, sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, atterberg limit test, compaction test, unconfined compressive test, CBR test, permeability test, shear test, and abrasion test. The mixing rate is granite weathered soil, clay, crushed rock 80 % respectively and waste lime 20 % by weight. From the test results, it is shown that the waste lime and soil mixtures satisfy the criteria as road embanking material specification.
