The effect of microstructure on the permeability of two saturated marine clays was studied through a series of falling head permeability tests and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests. The key findings from this experimental study include the following results: (1) The permeability of undisturbed specimens is larger than that of reconstituted specimens at the same void ratio due to different soil fabrics, i.e., the pore size distributions (PSDs), even though they have the similar variation law in the permeability versus void ratio. (2) Different permeabilities of undisturbed and reconstituted specimens at the same void ratio are mainly caused by the difference in void ratio of macro-pores based on the MIP test results. (3) A high relevant relation between $C_k$ ($C_k$ is the permeability change index) and $e*_{10}$, can be found by normalizing the measured data both on undisturbed or reconstituted specimens. Hence, the reference void ratio $e*_{10}$, can be used as a reasonable parameter to identify the effect of soil fabric on the permeability of saturated soft clays.

The measurement based on reliable standard operating procedures (SOPs) is important for consistent information. The objective of this study is to investigate reliable SOPs of soil physical methods, including core method for bulk density, Yamanaka hardness, and air permeameter method for air permeability. The coefficients of variation in bulk density (core method), Yamanaka hardness, and air permeability were ranged of 1~6%, 8~13%, and 10~84%, respectively. The variation in situ measurement such as bulk density, hardness, and air permeability due to spatial variability at measuring site was larger due to the number of replicates, organic matter content, and soil texture. Nevertheless, air permeability had different values as different number of replicates, and thus, it is thought that more replicates can result in higher reliability. It suggested that investigation of soil physical properties for the target sites should required to consider about soil texture, organic matter content, and number of replications before measurement. In conclusion, core sampling for bulk density measurement in upland soil recommended to perform in 3 repetitions with 2 inch core, and 3 inch core sampling for higher organic matter content.

액상화후 과잉간극수압 소산양상을 파악하고 액상화를 겪는 지반의 침하량을 예측하는데 필요한 진동하중이 작용하는 동안의 포화된 모래지반의 투수계수 변화를 추정하기 위하여, 액상화 가능성이 큰 5종류의 모래에 대해 1-g 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 시험과정중에 깊이별 과잉간극수압과 지표면 침하량을 계측하였다. 액상화후 계측된 과잉간극수압 소산곡선을 침강이론으로 선형모사하였고 선형모사된 소산곡선의 기울기를 분석함으로써 소산속도와 입도특성치와의 상관관계를 얻었다. 이러한 상관관계와 계측된 침하량을 침강이론에서 제안한 소산속도식에 대입하여 소산과정중 투수계수를 역산하였고 산정된 소산과정중 투수계수를 이용하여 진동하중이 작용하는 동안의 투수계수 변화를 추정하였다. 액상화후 과잉간극수압의 소산속도는 유효입경을 균등계수로 나눈 값에 선형적 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 상관관계를 이용하여 구한 소산과정과 액상화동안의 투수계수는 원지반의 초기투수계수에 비해 각각 1.1∼2.8배, 1.4∼5배 증가하였다 그리고 이러한 증가 정도는 시험모래의 유효입경이 클수록 균등계수가 작을수록 더 커짐을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 연약지반의 압밀해석 시에 물성이 다른 두 층간의 경계면 해석을 보다 정확히 수행할 수 있는 유한차분 해석기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 해석기법을 이용하여 다층지반 및 스미어가 발생된 지반에 대하여 정확한 압밀해석이 가능한 유한차분 해석프로그램을 개발하였으며, 다양한 지반조건에서 해석을 수행하여 제안된 해석 기법을 근간으로 개발된 해석프로그램의 적용성을 검증하였다. 해석결과 다층지반의 압밀속도는 배수면 근처의 투수계수에 지배적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 스미어 발생지반의 압밀속도는 스미어 영역에서의 투수계수 분포가 선형인 경우보다 일정한 경우 압밀이 더 지체되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 스미어 영향을 고려한 연약지반의 압밀해석에서 스미어로 인한 주변지반의 투수계수 감소가 상대적으로 작은 경우에는 스미어 영역 전체의 투수계수 감소율이 일정하다고 가정한 단순 해석으로도 정확한 압밀거동 예측이 가능하지만, 스미어 발생으로 배수재 주변지반의 투수계수의 감소가 큰 경우에는 배수재로부터의 거리에 따른 투수계수 분포형태를 정확히 가정하고 해석을 수행해야 압밀거동을 정확히 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 부산지역의 다층지반 조건을 고려한 해석결과, 압밀완료 시간을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 다층지반에 대한 해석이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

To compute a permeability coefficient along a rough fracture that takes into account the fracture geometry, this study performed detailed measurements of fracture roughness using a confocal laser scanning microscope, a quantitative analysis of roughness using a spectral analysis, and a homogenization analysis to calculate the permeability coefficient on the microand macro-scale. The homogenization analysis is a type of perturbation theory that characterizes the behavior of microscopically inhomogeneous material with a periodic boundary condition in the microstructure. Therefore, it is possible to analyze accurate permeability characteristics that are represented by the local effect of the facture geometry. The Cpermeability coefficients that are calculated using the homogenization analysis for each rough fracture model exhibit an irregular distribution and do not follow the relationship of the cubic law. This distribution suggests that the permeability characteristics strongly depend on the geometric conditions of the fractures, such as the roughness and the aperture variation. The homogenization analysis may allow us to produce more accurate results than are possible with the preexisting equations for calculating permeability.

Relatively high convective flow exists in the under-rib regions of a gas diffusion layer (GDL) when serpentine flow fields are employed in a PEMFC. This under-rib convection is believed to be favorable for the performance of PEMFCs, by enabling more effective use of catalysts in the under-rib regions. From the fact that the under-rib convection in a GDL is directly proportional to the permeability of the GDL, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to discover the relationship between the GDL permeability and the PEMFC performance. Single-, triple-, and quintuple-path parallel serpentine flow fields for $9\;cm^2$ active cell area were considered while changing the GDL permeability from $1{\times}10^{-12}$ to $5{\times}10^{-11}m^2$. The results showed that higher GDL permeability generally resulted in better performance of PEMFCs, but the degree of performance enhancement became smaller as the parallel path number increased. The effects of the permeability on the local variables were also discussed.

Geophysical well logging techniques which are useful for delineating permeability of geological formation have been reviewed. A new technique for obtaining permeability using conductivity log technique has been discussed. This conductivity logging technique has been tested by monitoring the conductivity change within the model hole using borehole environment water and incoming-outgoing water of different salinity with constant flow rate by maintaining balance between inflow and outflow. Conductivity variation features depended mainly on flow rate, density contrasts due to salinity and temperature contrasts between fluid within the hole and incoming-outgoing fluid. The results of the experiment show uniform change of fluid conductivity within bore hole with time, and a fairly good correlation between the flow rate and the conductivity change rate. This conductivity logging technique is expected to be an efficient tool for determining permeability.

In a manufacturing technique of the sintered filter, pressureless sintering method has good permeability, it is not need the binder and lubricant used on compacting process, so it has little contamination and it is easy to control the pore size and shape but the mechanical strength is low relatively and it is difficult that parts of complicate form are manufactured. In the case of manufacturing the filter by press and sintering method, in order to be satisfactory characteristic of un-pressed filter, in this study sintered metal filter fabricated by using 30-40mesh stainless steel 316L powder and additive agents. Porosity and structure of pores, permeability and mechanical strength of the sintered filter were investigated with the variation sintering conditions. Porosity was nearly constant about $60{\sim}70%$, density, permeability and mechanical strength were changed markedly with quantity of additive materials and sintering conditions.

Automatic train control systems are divided into ATC, ATP and ATS systems etc. The ATP and ATS systems offer discontinuous information for train control. While the ATC systems provide continueous information for train control. There is a method for offering continuous information by AF track circuits. Magnetic fields are formed by current through rails in the AF track circuit systems. So, the continuous information is received by the magnetic fields on a on-board antenna. Coating materials on rails are researched to decrease defects such as head check, shelling, corrugation, squats and so on in Germany. Currently, a coating method of rail construction is proposed by using the ceramics in Korea. When deciding physical characteristic of ceramics, researches are required about variation of flux density by the ceramics. In case that the flux density is much lower than existing value, the information for train control is not transmitted to the on-board antenna. In this paper, inductance on rails is calculated and a model is presented about variation of the magnetic field intensity in the AF track circuit. Standard permeability of ceramics is proposed by analyzing the variation of magnetic field intensity. It is demonstrated by using Maxwell and Matlab program.
