Piles are widely used in structural foundations of engineering projects. However, the deformation of the soil around the pile caused by driving process has an adverse effect on adjacent existing underground buildings. Many previous studies have addressed related problems in sand and saturated clay. Nevertheless, the failure mechanism of pile driving in unsaturated soil remains scarcely reported, and this issue needs to be studied. In this study, a modeling test system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) was developed for studying deformation characteristics of pile driving in unsaturated silt with different water contents. Meanwhile, a series of direct shear tests and soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) tests also were conducted. The test results show that the displacement field shows an apparent squeezing effect under the pile end. The installation pressure and displacement field characteristics are sensitive to the water content. The installation pressure is the largest and the total displacement field is the smallest, for specimens compacted at water content of 11.5%. These observations can be reasonably interpreted according to the relevant unsaturated silt theory derived from SWCC tests and direct shear tests. The variation characteristics of the soil displacement field reflect the macroscopic mechanical properties of the soil around the pile.

훼손된 비탈면을 효율적으로 복구하고 토양을 견고하게 지지하고 식물 생장을 도울 수 있는 토양바인더 사용이 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 토양바인더는 토양을 오염시키지 않는 친환경 소재이면서 토양의 생태를 복원할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 토양바인더 외에 흡수제와 응집제를 첨가하여, 최적의 함수율, 투수계수, 직접전단강도 값을 갖는 조건을 도출하였다. 토양바인더로는 다양한 음이온강도의 polyacrylamide (PAM)를, 흡수제로는 super absorbent polymer (SAP), 응집제로는 cellulose ether (CE)를 사용하여 그 효과를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 우선 토양바인더를 사용한 경우 토양시험편의 직접전단강도와 함수율을 각각 수십 배 이상 그리고 두 배 이상 증가시킬 수 있었으며 변수위 투수계수를 낮춤으로 인해 방수의 효과가 증가함을 관찰되었다. 첨가제로서 SAP를 사용한 경우 그 효과를 더욱 높일 수 있었고 SAP의 응집력을 높이기 위해 첨가된 CE 역시 직접전단강도와 함수율을 높임을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this paper was to confirm the application of the equation of the soil-water characteristic curve on an unsaturated soil. To this ends, a series of suction test was conducted on the selected 4 kinds of soil which is located in Korea, using the modified pressure extractor apparatus. And it was carried out to analyze the experimental parameters which can describe the soil-water characteristics, were determined by using the data obtained from the experiment. From the results, it was found that the matric suction was varied according to the grain size distribution, amount of fine grain particle and void ratio. Also it was found that the residual volumetric water content was decreased with the void ratio, but the index related air entry value, the soil parameter related water content and the parameter with residual water content were increased with the void ratio. And the application of equation of the soil-water characteristic curve was confirmed for the various conditions and the various state by the comparison between the volumetric water content measured by the experiment and the predicted values.

본 연구에서는 우란바톨(Ulanbator)에서 북경(Beijing)사이의 지역에서 샘플링한 동결된 응회암 풍화토의 동적 특성을 규명하기 위해 풍화토와, 글래스비드(glass bead)를 대상으로 온도변화에 따른 초음파 속도를 sing-around 법을 사용하여 측정하였다. 본 실험을 통해 초음파 속도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 초음파 속도와 부동수분 사이에는 선형적인 관계가 존재함을 확인하였다. 또한 동결토의 초음파 실험결과, 종파가 시료의 종류에 크게 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 부동수분과 초음파 속도와의 관계규명에 적합하다고 판단된다.

강우시 우수의 침투로 사면의 안정성은 감소되며, 사면활동에 의한 피해를 최소화하기위해 강우시 토사사면에 대한 사면 안정해석시 지표까지 완전히 포화되는 조건으로 설계하도록 설계기준을 강화하고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 설계방식은 강우강도, 강우지속시간, 지반특성, 사면의 기하학적 특성 등과 관계없이 동일하게 지표까지 완전 포화조건으로 설계함으로써 지나치게 과다하게 설계되는 경향이 있는 등 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 또한 대부분의 토사사면은 불포화상태에 있으며, 불포화특성을 고려한 사면 안정해석이 수행되어야 할 것이다. 본 논문은 강우시 토사 사면이 완전 포화되기까지 소요되는 강우지속시간을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 불포화토의 흙-수분 특성과 포화시 투수계수, 사면의 기하학적 조건, 강우강도 등을 고려하여 불포화토 사면에 대한 유한요소해석을 실시하여 강우시 토사사면이 완전 포화되기 까지 소요되는 강우지속시간을 예측하였으며, 이들 해석결과로부터 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 예측도표를 제시하였다.

The interaction between the frozen soil and building structures deteriorates with the increasing temperature. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) stratification test was conducted with respect to the unfrozen water content on the interface and a shear test was conducted on the frozen soil-structure interface to explore the shear characteristics of the frozen soil-structure interface and its failure mechanism during the thawing process. The test results showed that the unfrozen water at the interface during the thawing process can be clearly distributed in three stages, i.e., freezing, phase transition, and thawing, and that the shear strength of the interface decreases as the unfrozen water content increases. The internal friction angle and cohesive force display a change law of "as one falls, the other rises," and the minimum internal friction angle and maximum cohesive force can be observed at -1℃. In addition, the change characteristics of the interface strength parameters during the freezing process were compared, and the differences between the interface shear characteristics and failure mechanisms during the frozen soil-structure interface freezing-thawing process were discussed. The shear strength parameters of the interface was subjected to different changes during the freezing-thawing process because of the different interaction mechanisms of the molecular structures of ice and water in case of the ice-water phase transition of the test sample during the freezing-thawing process.

PFA(Paper Fly Ash) are reclaimed mainly or used in cement industry field as mixture agent in terms of materials recycling. Recently, research for recycling PFA as embankment materials or soil stabilization agent are undergoing in geotechnical engineering field. In this study, physical characteristics of PFA stabilization agent-soil admixtures are examined in change of water content, void ratio, consistency, grain distribution, specific gravity and density. Futhermore, the physical characteristics are compared with unconfined strength as engineering characteristics. Test results showed that unconfined strength and density are increased with increasing of PFA stabilization agent mixed ratio. On the other hand, specific gravity, void ratio and water content are decreased with increasing of PFA stabilization agent mixed ratio. It would be concluded that natural high water content ratio weak soil could be highly improved engineering and physical characteristics with PFA stabilization agent

Relationship between the optimum soil water content and clay content on soil samples from mid-latitude European forest was tested. Soil samples from 4 different experimental sites (two forest sites in the Netherlands and a Danish forest) were collected, and analyzed for the soil physical and chemical characteristics. Water retention curves for the soil samples were determined according to the standard procedure ISO 11274, and pF decreased with increase in soil water contents. NO is simultaneously produced and consumed by microbiological processes, which comprise of nitrification and denitrification. NO consumption and production rates were determined from the soil samples and compared to their corresponding water retention curves in order to find the optimum soil water content and matric potential for maximum NO release from mid-latitude soils. NO consumption rate coefficient (k) in Hollandse Hout was significantly lower than those in other soil sites. Maximum NO production was observed at an intermediate soil moisture ($0.2{\sim}0.3kg/kg$) in all the soil samples. Resulting from the NO consumption and production rates for the soils, the empirical NO fluxes of the different soils were calculated in the laboratory.

Soil erosion due to climate change is one of the global environmental issues. Especially, Korea is vulnerable to soil erosion as the frequency of extreme rainfall events and rainfall intensity are increasing. Soil erosion causes various problems such as reduced farmlands, deterioration of water quality in rivers, etc. To these severe problems, understanding the process of soil erosion is the first process. Then, it is necessary to quantify and analyze soil ersoion using an erosion model. Soil erosion models are divided into empirical, conceptual, and physics-based models according to the structures and characteristics of models. This study used GSSHA (Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis), the physics-based erosion model, running on WMS (Watershed Modeling System) to analyze soil erosion vulnerability of the CheonCheon watershed. In addition, we compared the six sediment transport capacity formulas provided in the model and evaluated the equations fir on this study site. Therefore, this result can be as a primary tool for soil conservation management.

In order to analyze movement of soil moisture, Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) with multiplex system has been installed at the Bumreunsa hillslope of Sulmachun Watershed to configure spatial-temporal variation pattern considering seasonal characteristic. An intensive surveying was performed to build a refined digital elevation model(DEM) and flow determination algorithms with inverse surveying have been applied to establish an efficient soil moisture monitoring system. Soil moisture data were collected through an intensive and long term monitoring 380 hrs in November of 2003 and 1037 hrs in May and June of 2004. Soil moisture data shows corresponding variation characteristics of soil moisture on the up slope, buffer, main channel zones of the hillslope which were classified from terrain analysis. Inferences and limitations of measured soil moisture data were discussed in conjunction with flow characteristic through terrain analysis.
