Unsaturated soil has a possibility to induce a negative pore water pressure. Until now, saturated soil is mainly focused on the research of soil mechanics. Recently, soil mechanics is researched on two major parts such as saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics. Negative pore water pressure has a non-linear relationship with the water content changes. Soil-water characteristic curves of soil in Korea are not determined. There is no proper characteristic value such as air-entry value and residual water content. In this study, the characteristic curves of reclaimed soil, sand, and weathered granite soil were determined by laboratory tests. Air-entry value and residual water content were determined by fitting methods. Soil-water characteristic curves were estimated based on the particle-size distribution and compared with the laboratory test results. The results of soil-water characteristic curves estimation indicated that Fredlund and Wilson's model is excellent for sand and weathered granite soil. Arya and Paris's model is excellent for reclaimed soil.

Studying unsaturated soil mechanics, determination of soil water characteristic curve and permeability equation is an essential factor but it is not easy. In this research a new testing apparatus was developed to determine soil water characteristic curve and permeability equation. The testing to get saturated permeability coefficients and soil water characteristic curves for two soils was performed by using the developed testing apparatus. First, a saturated permeability testing was performed and then the testing to get soil water characteristic curve of a drying process was performed. Next, the testing to get soil water characteristic curve of a wetting process was performed. Testing results showed hysteresis phenomena between soil water characteristic curve of a drying process and soil water characteristic curve of a wetting process. The permeability equations were determined by a theoretical method where a saturated permeability coefficient and a soil water characteristic curve were used.

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).

불포화토를 연구하는데 있어 함수특성곡선과 투수계수방정식을 결정하는 것은 필수요소이나 이는 쉬운 일이 아니다. 본 연구에서는 함수특성곡선과 투수계수방정식을 얻기 위한 새로운 시험장치가 개발되었다. 개발된 시험장치를 사용하여 두 종류의 토사에 대해 포화투수계수시험과 함수특성곡선을 결정하기 위한 시험을 실시하였다. 시험진행순서는 먼저 포화투수계수시험을 실시한 후, 함수특성곡선의 건조과정에 대한 시험을 실시하고 다음으로 함수특성곡선의 습윤과정에 대한 시험순으로 진행하였다. 시험결과에 의하면 건조과정의 함수특성곡선과 습윤과정의 함수특성곡선 간에는 이력현상이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 투수계수방정식의 결정은 시험으로부터 얻어진 포화투수계수와 함수특성곡선 이용하여 구하는 이론적인 방법을 사용하였다.

The goals of this study are to investigate the feasibility of the reference state approach in determining the generalized soil-water characteristic curve that is essential for characterization of unsaturated soil behavior. The soil-water characteristic curves are obtained from a number of specimens of fine-grained residual soils compacted with different void ratios. Based on the experimental test results, the feasibility of using the liquid limit state as the reference state for predicting the soil-water characteristic curve are verified. Finally, through the regression analysis of experimental data using the equation of Fredlund and Xing (1994), a reliable method is proposed to predict the generalized soil-water characteristic curve of fine-grained residual soils using the liquid limit state as the reference.

Sediment basin that is typical facility installed for development business to prevent soil erosion has low removal efficiency and therefore, it causes complaints from the residents and has a bad effect on ecosystem. Thus there is a limit to control soil erosion using the existing design methods of sediment basin, so the purposes of this study is providing suitable design factors for sediment basin with regarding soil characteristic of development areas and analysing sedimentation characteristic by inflow concentration changes. The results, for analyzing the sedimentation characteristic by soil concentrations within approximately 2,000 ~ 20,000 mg/L of initial SS concentration, indicated similar sedimentation trends for same soil in the supernatant regardless of initial concentrations. However, for different soil characteristic (percent finer), there are different results in sedimentation rate and concentrations of the supernatant. Thus it is recommended that sediment basin to prevent soil erosion during construction should be designed based on retention time derived from soil sedimentation experiments regardless of inlet concentration. In addition, installing the soil erosion prevention facility at the back to satisfy effluent water quality should be considered to minimize soil erosion effectively.

불포화토 역학에 있어 흐름특성에 대한 규명은 지반공학적 문제들을 해결하는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 특히, 불포화토의 흐름특성을 모사하기 위한 첫 걸음이 되는 함수특성곡선의 측정을 위해서는 측정자의 오류를 최소화할 수 있는 신뢰성있고 편리한 기법이 필수적으로 요구되어진다. 플로우 펌프 시스템을 포함하여 현재까지 많은 연구자들은 함수특성곡선을 측정할 수 있는 다양한 기법들을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안되어진 플로우 펌프시스템을 활용한 흡입력 조절 기법을 이용하여 건조과정과 습윤과정에서 정확하게 실험 공시체의 함수특성곡선을 측정하였다. 플로우 펌프 시스템을 활용한 흡입력 조절 기법을 통하여 두 가지 시료의 함수특성곡선을 산정하였으며, 실험 결과를 바탕으로 흡입력 조절 기법은 현장 조건에 맞는 조건들을 실내에서 구현할 수 있으며 또한 건조과정과 습윤과정에서 발생하는 함수특성곡선의 이력현상을 규명하는데 적절한 장비인 것을 확인하였다. 특히, 플로우 펌프시스템을 활용한 흡입력 조절 기법은 자동화된 장비와 정밀도로 인하여 높은 정확도를 이끌어낼 수 있어 측정오차를 줄임과 동시에 측정시간을 절약하여 함수특성곡선을 측정할 수 있다.

The purpose of this paper was to derive soil-water characteristic curve equation for unsaturated soil. To this end, a series of suction measured test was conducted on the selected 4 kinds of soil which is located in Korea, used the modified pressure plate apparatus. From the test results, it was proved that characteristic curve changes according to grain size distribution, size of void and fine grained soil contents. Residual degree of saturation(Sr) was decreased with void ratio and changed with fine grained soil contents, parameter ${\lambda}$ and hr was increased with void ratio. Soil-water characteristic curve equation based on the test result was suggested by void ratio or grain size distribution.

Soil deformation on the off-load ground is significantly affected by soil conditions, such as soil type, water content, and etc. Thus, the soil characteristics should be estimated for predicting vehicle movements on the off-load conditions. The plate-sinkage test, a widely-used experimental test for predicting the wheel-soil interaction, provides the soil characteristic parameters from the relationship between soil stress and plate sinkage. In this study, soil stress under the plate-sinkage situation is calculated by the DEM (Discrete Element Method) model. We developed a virtual soil bin with DEM to obtain the vertical reaction forces under the plate pressing the soil surface. Also parametric studies to investigate effects of DEM model parameters, such as, particle density, Young's modulus, dynamic friction, rolling friction, and adhesion, on the characteristic soil parameters were performed.
