Recently, many researches on the dissipation of excess pore pressure in liquefied sand grounds have been performed to evaluate post-liquefaction behaviors of structures. In this paper. centrifuge tests were performed to simulate liquefaction behaviors of prototype soil. The evaluation model of solidified layer thickness was developed to simulate non-linear variation of solidified layer thickness with time. Also, the dissipation of excess pore pressure in liquefied sand was evaluated by applying the solidification theory and the consolidation theory. The developed model gives a good estimation of the solidified layer thickness and the time history of excess pore pressure.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic data for selecting the cultivatable bioenergy crops through application of solidified sewage sludge in reclaimed lands. The experimental plots consisted of the mixing with solidified sewage sludge plot (SS50), the covering with solidified sewage sludge plot (SS100), and the original reclaimed land plot (ORL) on reclaimed land for the intended landfill in Sudokwon Landfill Site Management Corporation (SLC). The growth of energy crops (Geodae-Uksae 1, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, and Phragmites australis) were investigated from May to October, 2010 in each experimental plot. The soil from ORL showed higher salinity with high contents of exchangeable $Na^+$ cation than that of SS50 and SS100. Soil properties on reclaimed land used in this study must be improved by increasing the buffering capacity of saline with the treatment of solidified sewage sludge due to the fact that the contents of organic matter (OM) in both of SS50 and SS100 were higher than that of the ORL. Thus the growth of energy crops cultivated in the solidified sewage sludge plots were better than in ORL. Geodae-Uksae 1 which showed an excellent adaptability on reclaimed land treated with the solidified sewage sludge has considerably higher biomass than those of other energy crops (M. sacchariflorus and P. australis). This study suggested that Geodae-Uksae 1 is the most suitable biomass feedstock crop for bioenergy productions, and the solidified sewage sludge may be possible to utilize as a soil cover materials for cultivation of bioenergy crops in reclaimed land.

While using an electrokinetic method to analyze the characteristics of cement solidification of radioactive wastes from decontaminated uranium soil and concrete, the compressive strength, pH, electrical conductivity, irradiation effects, and volume expansion were measured for the solidified cement specimens. The workability of cement solidified from radioactive waste was about 170-190%. After the solidified cement was irradiated, the compressive strength decreased by about 15%, but met the criteria ($34kgf{\cdot}cm^{-2}$) of KORAD (Korea Radioactive Waste Agent). According to the results of SEM-EDS for solidified cement, the aluminum phase was well combined with cement, while the calcium phase was separated from cement. The volume of solidified cement in radioactive wastes was dependent on the waste-to-cement ratio and the amount of water, and increased by about 30% under the conditions used in this study. Therefore, it was concluded that permanent disposal of electrokinetically decontaminated radioactive wastes is appropriate.

Several large scale reclamation projects are being underway along the coastal line in Korea. Therefore the large quantity of economical backfill material is necessary to cope with the shortage of dredged soil. In this study, the amount of volume reduction of dredged soil from detention basin was evaluated based on the laboratory tests. The percentage of soil particles in dredged organic soil is about 12.5∼21.9% by weight. The content of heavy metal and environmental effect for dredged soil itself and solidified dredged soil were analysed and the results are far below than those of environmental requirement.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the construction of environmentally friendly roadbed by reinforcing type soil solidification agent. The soil amendment agent used in this study is friendly to the environment, and has a function of soil-cement-agent solidification. The soil amendment agent was admixed with reinforced fiber material for enhancement of strength and durability of roadbed. The project of trial field test of roadbed construction with special reinforcing soil treatment agent was performed in Gyunggido on December 2003. A series of field and laboratory experiments including unconfined compressive strength, permeability were carried out to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of solidified roadbed treated by this reinforced solidifying agent. The results of this research showed that the roadbed using normal and poor soil could be efficiently constructed by treatment of this reinforcing type solidification agent admixed with fiber material.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the construction of roadbed with environmental friendly soil amendment agent. The special amendment agent used in this study is mainly composed of inorganic metal salts such as sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride,, thus is friendly to the environment, and has a function of soil-cement-agent solidification. Various components of this agent weaken the negative function of humic acid and decompose humic acid itself. Then, the calcium cation of the cement can now be made contact directly to the soil surface. The project of local road demonstration of roadbed construction with special soil treatment agent was peformed in Northeast Thailand on August 1999 by the sponsor of Highway Department of Thailand. A series of field experiments including unconfined compressive strength were carried out to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of solidified roadbed treated by this solidifying agent. The results of this research showed that the roadbed using poor soil could be efficiently constructed by treatment of this amendment agent.

Damping characteristics of chemically treated solls were studied by the use of FFT Analyzer and Bandwidth method. Also Modal Analysis was performed for the solidified silty sand samples. The soil samples were made of gravelly sand, sand, and silty sand, treated by water-glass chemical grouts. As the result of the study, it was found that the chemical grouting could be used for the vibration diminutinn effect as well as cut-off effect and strength improvement by the fact that the damping ratio of chemically treated soils was highly increased as the damping ratio of solidified soil was 0.11~0.22 and rathier high values in compare with the damping ratio of common soils which was 0.01~0.10.

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of pore water contamination on the treatment effect of sandy soil which was solidified by Portland cement. In the experiments, setting time of hydraulic cement that was mixed with contaminated mixing water was measured using Vicat equipment and observed the tendency of setting process with the kind of contaminants, organic or inorganic components. It was shown that organic contaminants of the mixing water affect largely on the initial setting process of hydraulic cement and inorganics, expecially heavy metals, did not affect on the initial setting process, otherwise it was appeared that setting time of the sandy soil that was contaminated with inorganic components was apparently faster than the sandy soil that did not include inorganic components even though organic concentrations was relatively low level (COD=200∼300) in the mixing water. The results of unconfined compression strength test (UCST) were well consistent with the results of Vicat equipment test.
