The purpose of this paper is to investigate the soil-water characteristic curves for an unsaturated soil. To this ends, a series of suction measured test was conducted on the selected 4 kinds of soils taken from different sites of Korea, using modified pressure plate apparatus. Form the test results, the water contents, degree of saturation and volumetric water contents were analyzed with the suction. And the soil-water characteristic curves of unsaturated soil were drawn from the test results for various factors. The characteristic curves drawn with water content vs matric suction were classified certainly the difference in wet side but were not classified in dry side. The characteristic curves drawn with degree of saturation vs matric suction for unsaturated soil were shown the opposite inclination as compared with the former curve. But the characteristic curve with volumetric water content vs matric suction was described suitably not only in wet side condition but also in dry side. And it was found that the volumetric water contents of loose soil was high at the initial condition but that of dense soil was high at final condition (dry side).

Vehicles and UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle) need a variety of road informations, such as road profile, soil type and soil water contents, to run a cross country course. Especially, soil water contents are very important factor to judge the vehicle mobility, because it can change soil strength. This paper describes the real-time measuring method of soil water contents by using the soil thermal conductivity.

Smart agriculture requires sensing systems which are fundamental for precision agriculture. Adequate and appropriate water and nutrient supply not only improves crop productivity but also benefit to environment. However, there is no available soil sensor to continuously monitor nutrient status in soil. Electrical conductivity (EC) of soil is affected by ion contents in soil and can be used to evaluate nutrient contents in soil. Comparison of various commercial EC sensors showed similar water content and EC values at water content less than 20%. Soil EC values measured by sensors decreased with decreasing soil water content and linearly correlated with soil water content. EC values measured by soil sensor were highly correlated with water soluble nutrient contents such as Ca, K, Mg and N in soil indicating that the soil EC sensor can be used for monitoring changes in plant available nutrients in soil.

실무에서 불포화토의 적용이 증가하고 있다. 불포화토의 가장 큰 특징은 체적함수비와 모관흡수력의 관계를 나타내는 함수특성곡선이다. 일반적으로 체적함수비는 측정의 어려움으로 인하여 중량함수비를 측정한 후 관계식을 통하여 체적함수비를 구한다. 이 경우 흙의 간극과 비중을 이용하여 관계식이 성립되는데 사실 물은 흙 입자 자체에도 포함되어 있다. 그러므로 실제 체적함수비는 중량함수비를 관계식으로 변화한 값과 다르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실험을 통하여 얻어진 흙 입자의 흡수율을 고려하여 체적함수비와 중량함수비의 관계를 제시하는 데 있다.

The relationship between relative water contents of lettuce leaves and biochemical activities in lettuce was examined in this study to explore an adaptation response of lettuce to water stress from soils. Soil water contents and relative water contents of leaves were positively related to show $R^2$=0.8728. Hydrogen peroxide contents of leaves rapidly increased with reduction of soil water content, whereas soluble protein contents and dry matters rapidly decreased. And chlorophyll a and b contents of leaves decreased with increase in carotenoid content. Furthermore, the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) increased dramatically, and mRNA transcript levels of APX, MDHAR and DHAR also increased. Relationship of relative water content of lettuce leaves to hydrogen peroxide, to ascorbate peroxidase activity, to dehydroascorbate reductase activity, and to monodehydroascorbate reductase activity was shown to be positively correlated. It is highly plausible from this study that these enzyme activities could be developed as an indicator of water states in soils.

A reinforced concrete pedestrian tunnel is constructed under a four-track surface railway. Heavy rainfall and soil exposure to drying lead to soil with different water content throughout the year. A railway is an open utility that is subject to rainfall without control on the quantity of the water on it and when there is a tunnel under a railway, the water content of the soil around the tunnel is very influential. This research shows the effects of change of water content in the soil around a pedestrian tunnel under a four-track surface railway. The pedestrian tunnel and the soil block around the tunnel are modeled in 3D by the FEM and are studied under the vibrations induced by the moving trains on the four-track surface railway for different soil water contents and the effects of the soil water content on the dynamic behavior of the tunnel and the surrounding soil are demonstrated.

The daily soil water contents were obtained from the time domain reflectometry(TDR) method and energy balance-water budget approach with eddy correlation at the two small semiarid watersheds of Lucky Hills and Kendall during the summer rainy period. There was a comaprison of daily soil water content measured and estimated from these two different approaches. The comparison is valuable to evaluate the accuracy of current soil water content measuring system using TDR and energy balance-water budget approach using eddy correlation method at a small watershed scale. The degree of simiarity between the regressions of these two methods of measuring soil water content was explained by determining the correlations between these methods. Simple linear regression analyses showed that soil water content measured from TDR method was responsible for 58% and 63% of the variations estimated from energy balance-water budget approach with edy correlation at Lucky Hills and Kendall, respectively. The scatter plots and the regression analyses revealed that two different approaches for soil water content measurement at a small watershed scale have no significant difference.

The mechanical characteristics and compressibility of Light-Weighted Foam Soil (LWFS) are investigated. LWFS is composed of the dredged soil from offshore, cement and foam to reduce the unit-weight and increase compressive strength. For this purpose, the unconfined compression tests and triaxial compression tests are carried out on the prepared specimens of LWFS with various conditions such as initial water contents, cement contents, and confining stresses. The test results of LWFS indicated that the stress-strain relationship and the compressive strength are strongly influenced by the cement contents rather than the intial water contents of the dredged soils. In this study, the normalized factor considering the ratio of initial water contents, cement contents, and foam contents is suggested to evaluate the relationship between compressive strength and normalized factor.

논토양에 무연탄회와 유연탄회를 토양무게의 0%, 15%, 30%로 pot에 첨가하고 수도를 재배하면서 침투수 중 중금속의 용탈량을 조사 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 침출수 중의 철의 용탈은 재배 후기에 높았으며 수도 재배로 철의 용탈은 증가되나 석탄회 처리간에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 침투수중의 Mn의 용탈량은 재배에 따라 증가되는 경향으로 재배구의 용탈량이 높았으며 석탄회 처리간에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 아연의 용탈은 수도 재배 20-25일 경이 가장 높았고 그 이후는 감소되는 경향으로 석탄회 시용으로 용탈량이 증가되지는 않았다. Cu의 침투수중 용탈량은 재배와 더불어 감소되는 경향을 나타냈으며, 석탄회 시용으로 Cu의 용탈량은 증가되지 않았으며 수도재배의 영향도 뚜렷하지 않았다. 침투수중 Pb의 용탈은 재배와 더불어 감소되는 경향이었으며 석탄회 처리로 크게 영향을 받지 않았고 7월 중순 이후는 거의 용탈이 되지 않았다. 침투수 중의 Cd 용탈량은 재배 15일 경에 가장 높았으며 그 이후 감소하여 재배 40일 이후 거의 용탈되지 않는 경향이었으며 석탄회 처리의 영향은 크지 않았다. 석탄회를 처리한 수도재배 조건하에서 투수중 중금속의 용탈량은 대조구에 비하여 우려할 양은 아니었다. 이것은 원래 석탄회 중의 중금속 함량이 낮았고, 또 토양의 pH가 비교적 높기 때문에 중금속의 용해도가 감소되어 가용성 중금 속의 침출량이 적었던 것으로 판단된다.
