Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) is a technique in which secondary- or tertiary-treated wastewater is infiltrated through unsaturated soil and stored in the saturated zone. In SAT, contaminants are removed by physical and biochemical reactions taking place in soils. In this study, a numerical model was developed to predict changes in water quality during SAT operations. The contaminant species considered in the model were ammonium, nitrate, dissolved organic carbon, and dissolved oxygen. The model was calibrated against experimental data obtained from one dimensional soil column tests conducted for 84 days. The calibrated model will be used to find out optimum conditions for the pilot- and regional-scale SAT operations to be scheduled for the next phase of this project.

Considering the non-linear behavior of structure and soil when evaluating a nuclear power plant's seismic safety under a beyond-design basis earthquake is essential. In order to obtain the nonlinear response of a nuclear power plant structure, a time-domain SSI analysis method that considers the nonlinearity of soil and structure and the nonlinear Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effect is necessary. The Boundary Reaction Method (BRM) is a time-domain SSI analysis method. The BRM can be applied effectively with a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML), which is an effective energy absorbing boundary condition. The BRM has a characteristic that the magnitude of the response in far-field soil increases as the boundary interface of the effective seismic load moves outward. In addition, the PML has poor absorption performance of low-frequency waves. For this reason, the accuracy of the low-frequency response may be degraded when analyzing the combination of the BRM and the PML. In this study, the accuracy of the analysis response was improved by adjusting the PML input parameters to improve this problem. The accuracy of the response was evaluated by using the analysis response using KIESSI-3D, a frequency domain SSI analysis program, as a reference solution. As a result of the analysis applying the optimal PML parameter, the average error rate of the acceleration response spectrum for 9 degrees of freedom of the structure was 3.40%, which was highly similar to the reference result. In addition, time-domain nonlinear SSI analysis was performed with the soil's nonlinearity to show this study's applicability. As a result of nonlinear SSI analysis, plastic deformation was concentrated in the soil around the foundation. The analysis results found that the analysis method combining BRM and PML can be effectively applied to the seismic response analysis of nuclear power plant structures.

오염토양에 펜톤 반응을 적용함에 있어서 과산화수소의 빠른 소모로 과량의 과산화수소가 요구되어지는 것이 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대표적인 PAHs물질인 phenanthrene으로 오염된 토양 처리를 위해 철의 리간드로 acetate를 사용하여 과산화수소의 안정성 확보를 통하여 공정의 효율을 높이고자 하였다. Acetate는 철의 몰농도에 대비하여 0.5배에서 3배(2${\sim}$12 mM)까지 주입하였고, 과산화수소는 분해 효율에 미치는 영향을 배제하기 위해 낮은 농도인 0.7%를 주입하였다. Acetate가 주입되어 과산화수소의 잔류시간은 최대 50배 이상 증가하였으며, 과산화수소의 안정성이 확보됨에 따라 phenanthrene의 제거율도 70%까지 향상되었다. 반응 중에 철은 2가와 3가로 산화환원을 반복하였고 과산화수소가 모두 분해되는 시점부터 $HO_2^-$에 의해 2가철로 환원이 이루어졌다. 과산화수소의 영향으로 반응중의 pH는 산성영역을 나타냈으며, acetate가 8 mM 이상 주입되었을때 4${\sim}$5범위 내에 머무르는 것을 확인하였다. Fenton reaction에 의해 철의 리간드로 사용된 acetate 역시 분해가 이루어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, phenanthrene의 비해 분해되는 시점이 느린 것으로 나타나 분해되어지는 경쟁관계에서 phenanthrene이 우세한 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 오염 토양처리에 기존 Fenton reaction의 효율성과 경제성을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 중성영역의 pH로 확장된 연구 등을 통해 좀 더 현실적인 공법으로 발전할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

이 논문에서는 경계반력법을 이용한 비선형 지반-구조물 상호작용 해석을 위해 LS-DYNA나 MIDAS/Civil 등의 유한요소해석 프로그램과 연계하는 방법을 제시하였다. 경계반력법 적용시 유한요소프로그램에서 구조물과 지반은 선형 또는 비선형 유한요소를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 유한요소의 해석모델 외부의 무한영역으로 전달되는 탄성파를 최대한 흡수하기위해 유한요소 모델의 외측에 LS-DYNA의 경우에는 PML(Perfectly Matched Layer) 요소를, MIDAS/Civil의 경우에는 점성감쇠-스프링 요소를 적용하였다. 비선형 유한요소는 구조물영역에만 적용되는 것으로 가정하였다. 이 연구에서는 입사지진파에 의한 경계반력은 KIESSI-3D 프로그램을 이용하여 계산하였다. 선형 지반-구조물 상호작용 문제에 대해 일반적인 KIESSI-3D의 해석결과와 BRM해석결과를 비교하여 제시된 방법의 효율성을 제시하였다. 또한 수치적 비교를 통해 비선형 구조에 대해 보수적인 응답을 보이는 선형 SSI문제에 대하여 얻은 경계반력이 비선형 지반-구조물 상호작용해석에 효과적으로 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

This study examined the contaminated soils with an indicator of TPH using SVE (Soil Vapor Extraction) and biological treatments. Their results are as follows. Water content in the polluted soils slowly decreased from 15% during the initial experimental condition to 10% during the final condition. Purification of polluted soils by Bioventing system is likely to hinder the microbial activity due to decrease of water content. Removal rate of TPH in the upper reaction chamber was a half of initial removal rate at the 25th day of the experiment. The removal rate in the lower reaction chamber was 45% with concentration of 995.4 mg/kg. When the Bioventing is used the removal rate at the 14th day of the experiment was 53%, showing 7 day shortenting. Since the Bioventing method control the microbial activity due to dewatering of the polluted soil, SVE method is likely to be preferable to remove in-situ TPH. The reactor that included microbes and nutrients showed somewhat higher removal rate of TPH than the reactor that included nurtients only during experimental period. In general, the concentration showed two times peaks and then decreased, followed by slight variation of the concentration in low concentration levels. Hence, in contrast to SVE treatment, the biological treatment tend to show continuous repetitive peaks of concentration followed by concentration decrease.

A study on the removal of Pb ion from Pb-contaminated soil was carried out using ex-site extraction process. Tartaric acid (TA) and iminodiacetic acid sodium salt(IDA) as a washing agent were evaluated as a function of concentration reaction time mixing ratio of washing agent and recycling of washing agent. TA showed a better extraction performance than IDA. The optimum washing condition of TA and IDA were in the ratio of 1:15 and 1:20 between soil and acid solution during 1 hr reaction. The total concentrations of Pb ion by TA and IDA at three repeated extraction were 368.8 ppm and 267.5 ppm respectively. The recovery of Pb ion from washing solution was achieved by adding calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide form the precipitation of lead hydroxide and lead sulfide and optimum amounts of sodium sulfide and calcium hydroxide were 7 g/$\ell$ for the TA washing solution and 4 g/$\ell$, 5g/$\ell$ for the IDA washing solution respectively. The efficiency of recycle for TA and IDA washing solution were 78.8% , 95.1%, and 89.2%, 96.6% at third extractions under $Na_2S$ and $Ca(OH)_2$, respectively.

Spatial and temporal changes in nitrification activities and distribution of microbial population of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) in paddy soils were investigated. Soil samples were collected in March and October 2015 from rice paddy with and without the presence of confined animal feeding operations. Incubation experiments and quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that AOA's contribution to nitrification kinetics was much higher in locations where organic nitrogen in animal waste is expected to significantly contribute to overall nitrogen budget, and temporal variations in nitrification kinetics were much smaller for AOA than AOB. These differences were interpreted to indicate that different microbial responses of two microbial populations to the types and concentrations of nitrogen substrates were the main determining factors of nitrification processes in the paddy soils. The copy numbers of ammonium monooxygenase gene showed that AOA colonized the paddy soils in higher numbers than AOB with stable distribution while AOB showed variation especially in March. Although small in numbers, AOB population turned out to exert more influence on nitrification potential than AOA, which was attributed to higher fluctuation in AOB cell numbers and nitrification reaction rate per cells.

The failure of civil engineering systems is a consequence of decision making under uncertain conditions. Generally, buried flexible pipes are designed for their transversal behavior to prevent from the important failure mode of buckling. However, the interaction effects between soil and pipe are neglected and the uncertainties in their properties are usually not considered in pipe design. In this regard, the present research paper evaluates the effects of these uncertainties on the uncertainty of the critical buckling hoop force of flexible pipes shallowly buried using the subgrade reaction theory (Winkler model) and First-Order Second-Moment (FOSM) method. The results show that the structural uncertainties of the studied pipes and those of the soil properties have a significant effect on the uncertainty of the critical buckling hoop force, and therefore taking into account these latter in the design of the shallowly flexible pipes for their buckling behavior is required.

A study on the remediation of heavily for ion contaminated soils from abandoned iron mine was carried out, using ex-situ extraction process. Also, oxalic acid as a complex agent was evaluated as a function of concentration, reaction time and mixing ratio of washing agent in order to evaluate Fe removability of the soil contaminated from the abandoned iron mine. Oxalic acid showed a better extraction performance than 0.1N-HCl, i.e., the concentrations of Fe ion extracted from the abandoned mine for the former at uncontrolled pH and the latter were 1,750 ppm and 1,079 ppm, respectively. The optimum washing condition of oxalic acid was in the ratio of 1:5 and 1:10 between soil and acid solution during l hr reaction. The total concentrations of Fe ion by oxalic acid and EDTA at three repeated extraction, were 4,554 ppm and 864 ppm, respectively. The recovery of Fe ions from washing solution was achieved, forming hydroxide precipitation and metal sulfide under excess of calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. In addition, the amounted of sodium sulfide and calcium hydroxide for the optimal revovery of Fe were 15g/$\ell$ and 5g/$\ell$ from the oxalic acid complexes, respectively.
