This study extends the Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) application to delineate the saturated zones in shallow sediment and evaluate the groundwater flow in both downward and upward directions. Dry, partially and fully saturated zones and water level in the subsurface can be recognized from this study. High resolution seepage velocity in vertical direction was estimated from the temperature data in the fully saturated zone. By a single profile, water level can be detected and seepage velocity in saturated zone can be estimated. Furthermore, thermal gradient analysis serves as a new technique to verify unsaturated and saturated zones in the subsurface. The vertical seepage velocity distribution in the recognized saturated zone is then analyzed with improvement of Bredehoeft and Papaopulos' model. This new approach provides promising potential in real-time monitoring of groundwater movement.

CFRD (Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam) has been world-widely constructed due to a lot of advantages compared with rockfill dam and recently, sand/gravel materials, instead of crushed rock materials, are also utilized as a main rockfill material to overcome geological and environmental problems. In this paper, the process of water infiltration into the originally unsaturated sand/gravel-fill dam is studied using two-dimensional saturated-unsaturated seepage theory. According to the results of seepage analysis, if the effective drainage zone is installed in the dam, the reservoir water infiltrate into the dam along a downward flow path towards the lower drainage area. The main body constructed with sand/gravel materials, therefore, remains unsaturated.

Many geotechnical analyses require the investigation of water flow within partially saturated soil zone to incorporate the effect of climatic conditions. It is widely understood that the hydraulic properties of the partially saturated soil should be included in the transient seepage analyses. However, the characteristics of dual porosity soils with dual-mode water retention curve are normally modelled using single-mode mathematical equation for simplification of the analysis. In reality, the rainwater flow can be affected significantly by the dual-mode hydraulic properties of the soil. This paper presents the variations of safety factor for dual porosity soil slope with dual-mode water retention curve and dual-mode unsaturated permeability. This paper includes the development of the new dual-mode unsaturated permeability to represent the characteristics of soil with the dual-mode water retention curve. The finite element analyses were conducted to examine the role of dual-mode water retention curve and dual-mode unsaturated permeability on the variations of safety factor under rainfall loading. The results indicate that the safety factor variations of dual porosity soil slope modelled using the dual-mode water retention curve and the unsaturated permeability equation are lower than those of dual porosity slope modelled using single-mode water retention curve and unsaturated permeability equations.

댐 안정성 평가를 위하여 불포화 이론을 이용한 침투해석 기법이 널리 사용되고 있으나 지반의 불포화 거동에 대한 인식 부족과 실험절차의 번거로움으로 인하여 입력 물성치에 대한 체계적인 실험과 평가가 일반화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 지반의 불포화 수리특성은 변동성과 불확실성을 내포하고 있으며, 이는 침투수량 및 간극수압 분포 등 댐체 및 제방의 침투거동에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 댐의 심벽재료에 대한 함수특성곡선과 투수계수를 구하는 실내실험을 수행하였다. 그리고, 불포화수리특성이 댐체의 침투 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 입력물성의 확률론적 분포를 고려한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 Fredlund와 Xing 함수특성곡선식과 Campbell의 투수계 수식에서 변수 a와 n은 값이 클수록, n과 p는 값이 작을수록 정상상태에서의 침투수량이 많았다.

불포화 흐름을 고려하지 않는 도해법 (Casagrande, 1961; Cedergren, 1997)과 근사식(Sakamoto, 1998)에 의한 중심코어형 사력댐 코어죤의 침투량은 실제 침투거동과는 차이가 있고, 저수위 변화에 대한 침투량 변화경향의 파악도 곤란하다. 본 연구에서는 소양강댐에 대한 2차원 정상상태 및 비정상상태 침투류해석으로 저수위, 포화투수계수, 불포화수리특성 변화에 대한 정상상태 침투량과 정상상태 도달시간에 미치는 영향요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과 침투량은 정규화된 선형 관계식으로 예측이 가능하고, 불포화 예측변수 n이 정상상태 침투량과 정상상태 도달시간에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 예측기법은 복잡한 3차원 해석 및 여러 단면에 대한 2차원 해석을 수행하지 않고도 댐 설계자 및 안전관리 실무자가 중심코어형 사력댐의 침투량을 산정하여 실측치와의 정량적 분석에 손쉽게 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In the analysis of seepage behavior through the porous media, unsaturated domain should be included for obtaining more accurate results. The seepage programs considering its domain have been developed and practically used widely. The programs are reviewed and two case studies are presented in this paper. The case studies are performed using PC-SEEP and obtained good results for the cases of saturated-unsaturated transient flow.

Investigating the seepage characteristics of the leaching solution in the ore-bearing layer during the in situ leaching process can be useful for designing the process parameters for the uranium mining well. We prepared leaching solutions of four different viscosities and conducted experiments using a self-developed multifunctional uranium ore seepage test device. The effects of different viscosities of leaching solutions on the seepage characteristics of uranium-bearing sandstones were examined using seepage mechanics, physicochemical seepage theory, and dissolution erosion mechanism. Results indicated that while the seepage characteristics of various viscosities of leaching solutions were the same in rock samples with similar internal pore architectures, there were regular differences between the saturated and the unsaturated stages. In addition, the time required for the specimen to reach saturation varied with the viscosity of the leaching solution. The higher the viscosity of the solution, the slower the seepage flow from the unsaturated stage to the saturated stage. Furthermore, during the saturation stage, the seepage pressure of a leaching solution with a high viscosity was greater than that of a leaching solution with a low viscosity. However, the permeability coefficient of the high viscosity leaching solution was less than that of a low viscosity leaching solution.

A mathematical model, UNSATR which predicts the seepage flow through the body of dike especially under the tidal fluctuation has been developed. This model has been revised from UNSAT2 model which was developed on the basis of the saturated-unsaturated theory by Neuman. UNSATR has been verified and applied to the hydraulic model in order to estimated the seepage quantity, the formation of free water surface etc. The results lead to the following conclusions : 1. Seepage rates between the mathematical model and hydraulic model experiment are very similar to each other both in constant and transient water level conditions. 2. The lapsed time to be steady state of the free water surface becomes late as the tidal levels are relatively low mainly due to the seepage flow from the unsaturated zone of the body of dike. 3. Under the transient state of water levels, owing to the flow from the unsaturated domain, streamlines crossing to the free water surface are found and time lag during a falling tide may allow the free water surface inside the body of dike to stand at a high level than the outside water level. 4. The utility and validity of UNSATR model are convinced when the analyses on seepage problems through the porous embankment of the soil structures on the conditions of the steady and unsteady states are carried out.

본 연구에서는 실내 강우침투실험을 통하여 강우강도에 따른 지반 내 침투속도를 산정하였으며, 침투특성을 분석하여 보았다. 또한 수치해석을 이용한 해석결과와 비교 검증을 수행하였으며, 시간에 따른 간극수압과 포화도 그리고 유출속도의 변화는 대체로 잘 일치함을 보였다. 강우강도에 따른 침투속도는 실내실험과 수치해석에서 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 강우강도가 지반의 포화투수계수에 근접시 침투속도가 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 강우 침투시 습윤전선의 상부는 부분적으로 포화되어 침투하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 실제 지반에서 습윤전선은 비교적 빠르게 진행하여 사면의 불안정을 초래할 것으로 판단된다.
