The effect of discrete polypropylene fibre reinforcement on shear strength parameters, tensile properties and isotropic index of stabilized compacted residual subgrade was investigated. Composites of compacted subgrade were developed from polypropylene fibre dosage of 0%, 1%, 2.5% and 4% and 3% cement binder. Saturated compacted soil benefited from incremental fibre dosage, the mobilized friction coefficient increased to a maximum at 2.5% fibre dosage from 0.41 to 0.58 and the contribution due to further increase in fibre dosage was marginal. Binder stabilization increased the degree of isotropy for unreinforced soil at lower fibre dosage of 1% and then decreased with higher fibre dosage. Saturation of 3% binder stabilized soil decreased the soil friction angle and the degree of isotropy for both unstabilized and binder stabilized soil increased with fibre dosage. The maximum tensile stress of 3% binder stabilized fibre reinforced residual soil was 3-fold that of 3% binder stabilized unreinforced soil. The difference in computed and measured maximum tensile and tangential stress decreased with increase in fibre dosage and degree of stabilization and polypropylene fibre reinforced soil met local and international criteria for road construction subgrade.

Recent advances in remote sensing techniques provide the potential for monitoring soil color as well as soil moisture conditions at the spatial and temporal scales required for detailed local modeling efforts. Soil moisture as well as soil color is a key feature used in the identification and classification of soils. Soil spectral reflectance has a direct relationship with soil color, as well as to other parameters such as soil moisture, soil texture. and organic matter. We evaluate the influence of seven soil properties, soil color and soil moisture, on soil spectral reflectance. This paper presents the results obtained from the ground-truth spectral reflectance measurements in the 300-1100 nm wavelength range for various land surfaces. The results suggest that the reflectance properties of soils are related to soil color, soil texture, and soil moisture. Increasing soil moisture content generally decreases soil reflectance which leads to parallel curves of soil reflectance spectra across the entire shortwave spectrum. We discuss the relationships between the soil reflectance and the Munsell Soil Color Charts which contain standard color chips with colors specified by designations for hue, value, and chroma.

In this study, the effect of local site conditions (site class and site amplifications) and structural variability are investigated on fragility functions of typical building structures. The study area is chosen as Eastern Turkey. The fragility functions are developed using site-specific uniform hazard spectrum (UHS). The site-specific UHS is obtained based on simulated ground motions. The implementation of ground motion simulation into seismic hazard assessment has the advantage of investigating detailed local site effects. The typical residential buildings in Erzincan are represented by equivalent single degree of freedom systems (ESDOFs). Predictive equations are accomplished for structural seismic demands of ESDOFs to derive fragility functions in a straightforward manner. To study the sensitivity of fragility curves to site class, two sites on soft and stiff soil are taken into account. Two alternative site amplification functions known as generic and theoretical site amplifications are examined for these two sites. The reinforced concrete frames located on soft soil display larger fragilities than those on stiff soil. Theoretical site amplification mostly leads to larger fragilities than generic site amplification more evidently for reinforced concrete buildings. Additionally, structural variability of ESDOFs is generally observed to increase the fragility especially for rigid structural models.

Due to limited supplies and expensive importing costs, it is a goal to replace overseas peat with local soil amendments in turf industry of Korea. The study was initiated to compare the performances of five domestic and imported organic soil amendments (OSAs) on establishment characteristics and to provide basic information for root zone composition on sports turf design and construction. The study was conducted in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L., KB) under greenhouse conditions from March to June in 2008. A total of 25 treatments of OSA + sand were prepared. These amendments were Berger Peat (OMA), Eco-Peat (OMB), G1-Soil (OMC), Premier Peat (OMD), and Supersoil I (OME). Significant differences were observed in establishment vigor, seedling emergence, and top growth. Results varied depending upon the type of OSAs and their rates in rootzone mixtures. OMA reached over 70% in establishment vigor in 5 WAS (weeks after seeding). OMC produced a maximum vigor of approximately 60% in 6 WAS. The OME amendment, however, showed poor performance lower than 30% in establishing KB turf until 8 WAS. There were considerable variations of top growth, being 3.8 to 14.5 cm. Greater differences in top growth resulted from OME mixtures. Shoot growth orientation in KB is also influenced by OSAs. In general, optimum mixing rate was considered as 10 to 20% for establishment vigor and 20 to 40% for top growth. Considering overall responses to establishment vigor, seedling emergence, and shoot growth, both local OMC and overseas OMD are considered as the useful soil amendments applicable for sports turfs. Domestic OME amendment would be applied for a low maintenance turfs such as rough and utility areas due to greater shoot growth. Information on these amendments would be of practical use for sports turf design and construction. Repeated experiments and field performance test are required to evaluate these OSA effect on other major turfgrass species and also to determine local OSA as imported peat substitute.

Free-field ground motion during earthquake is significantly affected by the local site conditions and it is essential for the seismic design to perform the ground response analysis In this study, ground response analyses based on the equivalent linear method were carried out to evaluate the effects of various ground conditions on the site amplification. Four major factors including the depth of the site(very soft and dense soil), the impedance ratio between soil layer and bed rock, linear analysis versus equivalent linear analysis, and the location of soft soil layer were deeply discussed. Based on the analysis results, the importance of various local site conditions on the site amplification was emphasized.

During earthquake, the motion of ground is affected significantly by source characteristics, source-to-site path properties and local site conditions. Due to the influence of local soil conditions different places experience distinctive amplitude of surface ground motion. Ground response analysis of a specific site utilizing the borehole information at different locations is done in present study. The ground motion with the highest peak ground acceleration for this site obtained from the ground response analysis is used in finite element soil-structure interaction analysis of multi-storey shear wall buildings with various positions of shear walls. The variation in seismic response of buildings and advantageous position of shear wall are determined. The study reveals that providing shear wall at the core of buildings at the specific site is advantageous among all shear wall configurations considered.

Undrained triaxial tests were peformed for a weathered soil, which includes local measurement using LVDT The behavior from small In large strain conditions could be evaluated consistently through a triaxial test, The stress-strain relationship of undisturbed samples were compared with the disturbed and the shear moduli in the small strain level had the almost same values. Especially the shear moduli were mostly affected by the initial condition of water contents. An anisotropic hardening model based on the total stress concept could predict the stress-strain relationship accurately, which makes it possible to analyze the geotechnical problem reasonably for the weathered soil.

시설재배는 폐쇄된 환경에서 제한적인 물관리로 인하여 작기 중에는 외부에 영향을 미치지 않으나, 작물 생산 이후 토양 중 집적된 염류를 제거하기 위해 담수처리를 하게 되는데, 이 때 토양 중 염류가 지표유출 및 용탈을 통하여 주변 수질에 영향을 직접 미치고 있어서 이에 대한 정량적인 평가를 하였다. 입지조건이 다른 두 시설재배지인 경북 상주시 서곡동에 위치한 시설하우스에서 2008년 7월 중순부터 9월 중순까지 시험 전 후의 토양 화학성, 관개량 및 관개수질, 침투수량 및 침투수질, 표면수질, 그리고 조사기간 동안 주변 하천 수질을 조사하였다. 하성평탄지에서는 담수직후의 제염률은 60.4%로 곡간지에 비해 훨씬 높았으며 76.6%까지 높아졌다가 담수 20일 후에는 66.7%이었다. 담수초기부터 곡간지의 표면수중 $NH_4$-N과 $PO_4$-P 농도가 하성평탄지보다 높았으며, 곡간지에서 담수직후와 담수종료 후의 토양깊이별 $Cl^-$과 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 농도는 큰 차이가 있었으나, 하성평탄지에서는 토양깊이별 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 농도만 차이가 있었다. 침투수중 $NO_3$-N 농도 변화는 곡간지에 비해 하성평탄지에서 변화의 폭이 컸으며, 시간이 경과할수록 그리고 토양이 깊어질수록 그 농도도 높았다. 또한, 곡간지와 하성평탄지에 있는 시설재배지에서 담수제염에 의한 질소와 인수지를 비교 평가해 본 결과 곡간지와 하성평탄지 모두 유입 부하량보다 유출 부하량이 많아 외부 수계의 영향을 주는 것으로 평가되었다. 특히, 곡간지에 비해 하성평탄지에서의 양분 부하량이 더 많은 것으로 평가되었는데, 곡간지에서는 지하용탈만으로 제염을 하여 지하수의 수질에 영향을 주고 하성평탄지에서는 지하용탈뿐만 아니라 지표용탈에 의한 제염으로 인해 하천수의 수질에 영향을 주는 것으로 평가되었다.

경상남도 하동군 옥종면 청룡리 땅밀림 산사태지의 인장균열 형성과 그에 따른 토양 물리성 변화를 조사한 결과, 주 인장균열과 국부적 인장균열의 단차와 절취경사는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 토양 물리성 변화의 경우에는 토양깊이 31~40 cm의 액상이 유의적 차이를 나타내었다. 한편, 액상은 미교란지와 교란지에서 유의적 차이가 나타났는데, 이는 입지요인에 의한 것으로 판단되다. 따라서 하동군 옥종면의 땅밀림 산사태지에서는 붕괴과정 중 토괴가 일체로 미끄러지며, 단적으로는 토양 물리성 변화도 크게 나타나지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 땅밀림 산사태에 대한 보다 연계성 있는 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
