In this paper, the performance of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) in suppressing the seismic response of buildings is investigated with shake table testing of a four-story steel frame model that rests on pile foundation. The model tests were performed in three phases with the steel frame structure alone, the soil and pile foundation system, and the soil-foundation-structure system, respectively. The test results from different phases were compared to study the effect of soil-structure interaction on the efficiency of a TLD in reducing the peak response of the structure. The influence of a TLD on the dynamic response of the pile foundation was investigated as well. Three types of earthquake excitations were considered with different frequency characteristics. Test results indicated that TLD can suppress the peak response of the structure up to 20% regardless of the presence of soils. TLD is also effective in reducing the dynamic responses of pile foundation.

In this paper, a comparative study of the effects of soil modelling on the interaction between tunnelling in soft soil and adjacent piled structure is presented. Several three-dimensional finite element analyses are performed to study the deformation of pile caps and piles as well as tunnel internal forces during the construction of an underground tunnel. The soil is modelled by two material models: the simple, yet approximate Mohr Coulomb (MC) yield criterion; and the complex, but reasonable hardening soil (HS) model with hyperbolic relation between stress and strain. For the former model, two different values of the soil stiffness modulus ($E_{50}$ or $E_{ur}$) as well as two profiles of stiffness variation with depth (constant and linearly increasing) were used in attempts to improve its prediction. As these four attempts did not succeed, a hybrid representation in which the hardening soil is used for soil located at the highly-strained zones while the Mohr Coulomb model is utilized elsewhere was investigated. This hybrid representation, which is a compromise between rigorous and simple solutions yielded results that compare well with those of the hardening soil model. The compared results include pile cap movements, pile deformation, and tunnel internal forces. Problem symmetry is utilized and, therefore, one symmetric half of the soil medium, the tunnel boring machine, the face pressure, the final tunnel lining, the pile caps, and the piles are modelled in several construction phases.

This study was carried out to investigate the sustainable agriculture of no-tillage technique including recycling of the ridge and the furrow of a field for following crops in Korea. No-tillage systems affect soil physical properties such as three phase (solid, liquid, and air phase) and distribution of soil granular. Solid ratio of subsoil in 3-year of no-tillage (NT) treatment was remarkably lower than that in conventional (CT, 2-year of no-tillage + 1-year of tillage) treatment, while air ratio of subsoil in NT remarkably increased. Bulk density of subsoil in NT remarkably decreased. Porosity of subsoil in NT remarkably increased. Deviation of air phase, bulk density, and porosity of top soil and subsoil in NT remarkably decreased in NT compared with CT. Solid phase ratio and liquid phase ratio in NT and CT had positive (+) correlation. Solid phase ratio and air phase ratio in NT and CT had negative (-) correlation, also liquid phase ratio and air ratio had negative (-) correlation. Bulk density and liquid ratio in soil had positive (+) correlation at top soil and subsoil in NT. Bulk density and air ratio in soil had negative (-) correlation in NT and CT. Porosity and liquid phase ratio had negative (-) correlation, r =1), the significant value was lower in NT than in CT. Porosity and air phase ratio had positive (+) correlation (r =1).

For the problems of high compressibility and low strength of peat soil formed by lake-phase deposition in Dianchi Lake, microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition (MICP), phyto-urease-induced calcium carbonate deposition (EICP) and phyto-urease-induced calcium carbonate deposition combined with lignin (EICP combined with lignin) were used to reinforce the peat soil, the changes in mechanical properties of the soil before and after the reinforcement of the peat soil were experimentally investigated, and the effect and mechanism of peat soil reinforcing by the three reinforcing techniques were tested and analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that: compared to the unreinforced remolded peat soil specimens, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS), cohesion and internal friction angle of the specimens reinforced by MICP, EICP and EICP combined with lignin techniques have been greatly improved, and the permeability resistance has been improved by two, two and three orders of magnitude, respectively; the different methods of reinforcing generate different calcium carbonate crystalline phases, with the EICP combined with lignin technique generating the most stable calcite, and the MICP and EICP techniques generating a mixed phase of calcite and spherulitic chalcocite. Analyses showed that for peat soil reinforcement, the acidic environment of peat soil inhibited the growth and reproduction of bacteria, EICP technology was superior to MICP technology, and the addition of lignin solved the defect of the EICP technology that did not have a "nucleation site", so EICP combined with lignin reinforcement was preferred for the improvement of peat soil.

유기농 시설채소 재배지 토양의 물리적 특성조사는 전국 33개 농가 포장에서 2014년 8월부터 11월 사이에 조사하였다. 시설채소 재배지 선정은 엽채류인 상추(Lactuca sativa L.)와 잎들깨(Perilla frutescens var. japonica Hara), 과채류인 오이(Cucumis sativus L.), 딸기(Fragaria ananassa L.), 토마토(Lycopersicon spp.)를 경작하는 채소 종류별 5~8개 농가씩 선정하여 경도, 작토심 및 삼상 등 토양의 물리적 특성을 현장조사와 실험실내에서 분석하였다. 연구결과 작토심은 30~50 cm 범위로 평균 36 cm이었고, 재배되는 채소의 종류에 따라서 다소 차이가 있었다. 토양의 경도는 표토에서 $0.17{\pm}0.15{\sim}1.34{\pm}1.02$, 심토에서 $0.55{\pm}0.34{\sim}1.15{\pm}0.62$로 모두 매우 우수하였으며, 표토와 심토간에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 엽채류와 과채류 간에는 통계적으로 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다. 관입저항성은 뿌리 신장과 작물 수량을 결정짓는 토양의 물리적 특성중의 하나이다. 관입저항성은 엽채류 재배지에서 답압으로 인하여 다소 높게 나타났다. 토양의 삼상은 유기농 시설재배지 토양에서 동적이고, 전형적으로 변화되었다. 공극률은 $54.2{\pm}2.2{\sim}60.3{\pm}2.4%$ 범위로 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 요약해 보면 유기농 시설채소 재배지 토양은 토심은 깊어지고, 고상과 경도(흙의 단단함), 용적밀도(토양 단위 용적당 질량)는 낮아졌으며, 공극률(토양속 공간함유율)은 높아지는 등 유기농 시설재배지 토양의 물리성이 양호하였다.

본 연구는 level I fugacity model을 이용하여 유류오염 토양에서 많이 존재하며 생태적 위해성이 큰 다섯가지 유기성오염물질 (anthracene, benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-methylphenanthrene, phenanthrene) 이 기상, 액상, 고상 및 비수용성액체(NAPL)의 네 가지 상(phase)으로 구성된 biopile 내에서 어떻게 분포 하는가를 예측하기 위하여 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 영국 내에서 장기간 유류로 오염된 세 지역으로부터 토양 시료를 채취, 분석하였고 토양 분석 결과와 관련 인자를 level I fugacity model에 입력하여 fugacity 및 오염물질의 토양 중 분포를 구하였다. 다섯 오염물질의 fugacity 간에는 큰 차이가 있었으나 동일 오염물 질은 시료 간 fugacity에서 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 모든 오염물질은 NAPL과 고상에 주로 존재하였으며 토양시료간의 유기탄소함량 차이가 오염물질 의 분배 동태에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. benzene은 기상과 액상에 높은 농도로 존재함으로써 위해성에 근거한 기상과 액상 중 benzene 관리의 중요성을 나타내었다. 반면 다른 오염물질은 기상과 액상에 거의 존재하지않음을 보임으로써 지하수 오염 가능성을 현저하게 감소시켰다. 본 연구의 결과는 위해성이 큰 오염물질과 복원 처리를 토양 내 오염물질 잔류 농도 간에 관련이있음을 보였으며 또한 유류오염 토양의 위해성 평가과정에서 NAPL과 고상을 고려하는 일의 중요성도 나타내었다.

강우의 침투가 사면안정에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 강우의 침투해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 한계평형해석에 적용하는 안정해석 절차가 널리 사용되고 있으나 지반은 흙 입자, 물과 공기로 이루어진 3상의 물질이므로 사면을 통한 강우의 침투를 엄밀하게 해석하기 위해서는 물, 공기의 흐름과 흙의 응력-변형거동이 완전 연관된(fully coupled) 식을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 공기와 물의 흐름이 사면의 역학적 안정에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 우리나라에 널리 분포하는 풍화잔류토 사면에 대하여 3상이 연동된 흐름해석을 수행하였다. 강우침투가 사면안정에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 강도감소법에 의한 사면 안정해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 침투하는 강우가 공기를 밀어내 공기의 흐름이 발생하고 공기압이 증가하였다. 이러한 간극에서의 물과 공기의 상호작용은 사면의 응력-변형거동에 영향을 미쳐 공기의 흐름을 고려하지 않은 흙 입자-물의 연관해석의 결과와는 다른 사면안정 거동을 보였다.

The objectives of this study were to compare growth of Pllioblastus pygmaed and soil characteristics as affected by difference of soil thickness and mixture ratio in shallow-extensive green roof module system, and to identify the level of soil thickness and mixture as suitable growing condition to achieve the desired plants in green roof. Different soil thickness levels were achieved under 15cm and 25cm of shallow-extensive green roof module system that was made by woody materials for $500{\times}500{\times}300mm$. Soil mixture ratio were three types for perlit: peatmoss: leafmold=6:2:2(v/v/v, $P_6P_2L_2$), perlit: peatmoss: leafmold=5:3:2(v/v/v, $P_5P_3L_2$) and perlit: peatmoss: leafmold=4:4:2(v/v/v, $P_4P_4L_2$). On June 2006, Pllioblastus pygmaed were planted directly in a green roof module system in rows. All treatment were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replication. The results are summarized below. In term of soil characteristics, Soil acidity and electric conductivity was measured in pH 6.0~6.6 and 0.12dS/m~0.19dS/m, respectively. Organic matter and exchangeable cations desorption fell in the order: $P_4P_4L_2$ > $P_5P_3L_2$ > $P_6P_2L_2$. $P_6P_2L_2$ had higher levels of the total solid phase and liquid phase, and $P_4P_4L_2$ had gas phase for three phases of soil in the 15cm and 25cm soil thickness. Although Pllioblastus pygmaed was possibled soil thickness 15cm, there was a trend towards increased soil thickness with increased leaf length, number of leaves and chlorophyll contents in 25cm. The growth response of Pllioblastus pygmaed had fine and sustain condition in order to $P_6P_2L_2$ = $P_5P_3L_2$ > $P_4P_4L_2$. However, The results of this study suggested that plants grown under $P_4P_4L_2$ appear a higher density ground covering than plants grown under $P_6P_2L_2$. Collectively, our data emphasize that soil thickness for growth of Pllioblastus pygmaed were greater than soil mixture ratio in shallow-extensive green roof module system.

The capillary number is used to represent the mobilization potential of organic phase trapped within porous media. The capillary number has been defined by three different forms, according to types of flow velocity and viscosity used in the definition of capillary number. This study evaluated the suitability of the capillary number definitions for representing TCE mobilization by constructing capillary number-TCE saturation relationships. The results implied that the capillary number should be correctly employed, according to interest of scale and fluid flow behavior. This study suggests that the pore-scale capillary number may be used only for investigating the organic-phase mobilization at the pore scale because it is defined by the pore-velocity and the dynamic viscosity. The Newtonian-fluid capillary number using Darcy velocity and the dynamic viscosity may be suitable to quantify flood systems representing Newtonian fluid behavior. For viscous-force modified flood systems such as surfactant-foam floods, the apparent capillary number definition employing macroscopic properties (permeability and potential gradient) may be used to appropriately represent the desaturation of organic-phases from porous media.
