Soil disturbance induced by installation of mandrel driven vertical drains decreases the in situ horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the soil in the vicinity of the drains, decelerating the consolidation rate. According to available literature, several different profiles for the hydraulic conductivity variation with the radial distance from the vertical drain, influencing the excess pore water pressure dissipation rate, have been identified. In addition, it is well known that the visco-plastic properties of the soil also influence the excess pore water pressure dissipation rate and consequently the settlement rate. In this study, a numerical solution adopting an elastic visco-plastic model with nonlinear creep function incorporated in the consolidation equations has been developed to investigate the effects of disturbed zone properties on the time dependent behaviour of soft soil deposits improved with vertical drains and preloading. The employed elastic visco-plastic model is based on the framework of the modified Cam-Clay model capturing soil creep during excess pore water pressure dissipation. Besides, nonlinear variations of creep coefficient with stress and time and permeability variations during the consolidation process are considered. The predicted results have been compared with V$\ddot{a}$sby test fill measurements. According to the results, different variations of the hydraulic conductivity profile in the disturbed zone result in varying excess pore water pressure dissipation rate and consequently varying the effective vertical stresses in the soil profile. Thus, the creep coefficient and the creep strain limit are notably influenced resulting in significant changes in the predicted settlement rate.

The Compaction effect is important for evaluating the subgrade construction. However, there is little research exploring the compaction quality of deep soil using hydraulic compaction. According to reinforcement effect analysis, dimensional analysis is adopted in this work to analyze subgrade compactness within the effective reinforcement depth, and a prediction model is obtained. A hydraulic compactor is then employed to carry out an in-situ reinforcement test on gravel soil subgrade, and the subgrade parameters before and after reinforcement are analyzed. Results show that a reinforcement difference exists inside the subgrade, and the effective reinforcement depth is defined as increasing compactness to 90% in the depth direction. Layered compactness within the effective reinforcement depth is expressed by parameters including the drop distance of the rammer, peak acceleration, tamping times, subgrade settlement, and properties of rammer and filler. Finally, a field test is conducted to verify the results.

본 연구는 산림유역의 일시하천과 간헐천이 상존하는 수변지역을 대상으로 산림벌채로 인한 토양의 교란 정도를 평가하고, 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 총 12개 소유역에서 4개의 처리구(BMP1, BMP2, 개벌구, 대조구)를 적용하였으며, 각 처리구별 벌채 전 후 1년 동안의 모니터링 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 벌채 후 산정된 교란등급은 벌채강도와 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 조사된 토양의 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화와 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나, 용적밀도 및 공극률의 변화와는 일치하지 않았다. 전면개벌은 강도 높은 지표교란을 야기 시켰으며, 이로 인해 조공극률 및 투수계수는 감소, 토양강도는 증가하였고, 이는 토양의 침식의 간접적인 원인으로 작용하였다. 개벌구에서 강도 높은 지표 교란으로 야기된 토양의 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화는 BMP1과 BMP2에서 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 벌채 후 BMP2에 남겨진 벌채잔재물은 지표의 피복기능으로서의 침식을 완화하는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to determine the ways in which drying improves and develops dredged soils which exist widely in the lowlands of Korea. Before drying there were large variations in the fundamental physico-chemical properties of dredged soils collected from different places. In the sample soils, saturated hydraulic conductivity decreased gradually with an increase in bulk density with the exception that in air-dried soils a reverse trend was observed. Also in the sample soils, the sedimentation volume and the consistency limits decreased gradually with the decrease in soil water content after the air-drying treatment. The porosity of the sample soils decreased from $0.67{\sim}0.87m^3/m^3\;to\;0.58{\sim}0.66m^3/m^3$ and the liquid-phase range decreased from $0.41{\sim}0.83m^3/m^3\;to\;0.29{\sim}0.71m^3/m^3$. The solid-phase range of sample soils increased $0.13{\sim}0.33m^3/m^3\;to\;0.24{\sim}0.37m^3/m^3$ same as above with air-drying treatment. In conclusion the air-drying treatment caused an irreversible effect on some physical properties. Accordingly, these facts indicate that the effects of air-drying treatment on these properties are considered to be resulted from irreversible changes in the structural status of the sample soils.

Indiscriminate disposal of waste and citation of open dumpsites are some of the key factors affecting the various soil geotechnical properties. Atterberg limit and consolidation tests were conducted to determine the effects of two open waste dumpsites (Uselu Market and New Benin) on geotechnical properties of their underlying soils. Soil sample collected from Uselu Market dumpsite in Benin City metropolis showed slightly lower hydraulic conductivity (K) of $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ with plasticity index of 18.53% compared to sample collected 1.6 m from the same dumpsite which had high K value of $2.42{\times}10^{-3}$ with plasticity index of 6.9%. Soil sample collected from New Benin dumpsite in Benin City metropolis showed slightly lower K of $1.45{\times}10^{-6}$ with plasticity index of 13.8% than sample collected 1.6 m from the same dumpsite which had high K value of $2.14{\times}10^{-2}$ with plasticity index of 6.0%. X-ray florescent analyser (X-MET 7000) and direct soil pH meter were used to determine the composition of the aforementioned soil samples. The result of samples collected from both dumpsites indicated a low hydraulic conductivity compared to samples collected 1.6 m from both dumpsites. Also, the chemical composition and pH of both dumpsite underlying soils indicated high level of soil contaminants with pH of 3.3 and 3.5 which is very acidic unlike pH of other samples which were in the neutral range (6.8-7.1). Hence, a liner is recommended for all dumpsites or engineered landfill systems to mitigate against the challenges associated with open waste dumping system in the environment.

Multi-phase extraction of LNAPLs not only floating on groundwater but also captured in soil pores was studied in a simulated soil system. The extraction rate of LNAPL under the MPE conditions was much higher than the rate under usual hydraulic gradient conditions. The WE might be especially useful for recovery of oils in fine-textured soils such as clay-dominant soils. The vacuum-enhanced transport of LNAPL in soils also depended on the properties of LNAPL such as viscosity and density as well as soil textures.

본 연구는 충남 금산군에 위치한 산화적지에서 산화후 개벌지역과 비개벌지역을 대상으로 산림식생의 존재여부가 산림토양의 이화학적 성질 변화로 인한 수저유능력에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 가비중, 공극율(조공극 및 세공극), 투수성, 통기성 및 유기물 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 주요 측정인자들에 의해 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 산화지역의 비개벌지 및 개벌지에서 토양 통기성과 투수성을 측정한 결과 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 양호하였으며, 특히 산정보다는 산록부근에서 가장 큰 차이를 보였다. 또한 산화 뒤 2년이 경과된 후 가장 큰 변화가 나타난 부분은 표토 5∼15cm층이었다. 토양공극 분포는 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 전공극, 조공극, 세공극이 높게 나타났으며, 토심이 증가함에 따라 전공극량과 조공극량은 감소하였다. 토양가비중은 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 낮게 나타났으며, 토심이 증가할수록 높게 나타났다. 또한 산록>산복>산정 순으로 통기성, 투수성, 전공극 등이 동일하게 나타났다. 유기물함량은 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 높았으며 토심이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 토심의 증가에 따라 토양가비중은 정의 상관관계를 나타냈고, 전공극량, 조공극, 통기성, 투수성 및 유기물함량은 부의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 산화적지에서 개벌에 따른 산림환경 변화는 토양의 물리성 및 화학성을 악화시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Impervious pavement is primary contributor to the malfunctioning of the urban water circulation system. The aim of this research is to provide basic information and data for new pavement materials and paving technology which could enhance the urban water circulation system. For the study purposes, physical properties of soils sampled from 16 stations were analyzed. The sampling spots were paved with grass block porous pavement material. The findings from the analysis are as follows. The hardness of soils under the pavement was $17{\sim}22mm$ for thoroughfare and $6{\sim}32mm$ for parking areas. The bulk density was $1.42{\sim}1.81g/cm^{3}$ for thoroughfare and $1.38{\sim}1.75g/cm^{3}$ for parking area. The solid phase ration was $46.9{\sim}62.5m^{3}/m^{3}$ for thoroughfare and $45.6{\sim}61.3m^{3}/m^{3}$ for parking area. The porosity was $37.5{\sim}53.1m^{3}/m^{3}$ for thoroughfare and $38.7{\sim}54.4m^{3}/m^{3}$ for parking area. The saturated hydraulic conductivity was $8{\sim}164mm/hr$ for thoroughfare and $14{\sim}201mm/hr$ for parking area. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of the H sample area (the area was completed three months ago) and that of the other area were compared. There was up to 80% decreases of the saturated hydraulic conductivity within one year after the completion of pavement. After the first year, decrease in the saturated hydraulic conductivity was modest. Also there are changes in both surface and under soil physical properties of the grass block porous pavement depending on compaction. The extent of change depends on the degree of compaction. All these factors are combined to influence the permeability of the soil under the pavements. The results of this suggest that it is required to develop a new pavement technology which ensures both the durability and porosity of the pavement to improve the water circulation system by applying Ecological Area Rate.
