The detection of thin-layered soil is important in soft soils to evaluate the soil behavior. The smaller diameter cone penetrometer have been commonly used to detect the layer with increasing sensitivity. The objective of this study is to detect the thin-layered soil using cone resistance and electrical resistance. The cone resistivity penetration test (CRPT) is developed to evaluate the cone tip resistance and electrical resistance at the tip. The CRPT is a micro-cone which has a $0.78cm^2$ in projected area. The application test is conducted in a laboratory large-scale consolidometer (calibration chamber). The kaolinite, sand and water are mixed to make the specimen at the liquid limit of 46% using a slurry mixer. It takes two months for the consolidation of the specimen. After consolidation, the CRPT test is carried out. Furthermore the standard CPT results are compared with the electrical resistance measured at the tip in the field. This study suggests that the CRPT may be a useful tool for detecting thin-layers in soft soils.

점토층 사이에 존재하는 모래 협재층은 연약지반 거동에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 협재층은 주로 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$)에서 측정된 지반의 저항력과 간극수압 값을 이용하여 평가하고 있지만, 높은 해상도를 위하여 소형 콘이 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 연약지반에 얇게 분포된 협재층을 선단저항력, 주면마찰력 그리고 전기비저항을 이용하여 평가할 수 있는 전기비저항 콘(Cone Resistivity Penetrometer, CRP)을 개발하고 적용하는 것이다. CRP는 각각 실내실험(단면적: $0.78cm^2$, 직경: 1.0cm)과 현장실험(단면적: $1.76cm^2$, 직경: 1.5cm)에 활용되도록 제작하였으며, 길이는 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$, 직경: 3.57cm)의 단면적과 마찰부의 면적비를 고려하여 제작하였다. 실내실험은 모래와 점토가 반복적으로 조성된 다층의 층상탐지 셀을 사용하여 각 지층의 경계면을 탐사하였으며, 현장실험은 광양지역에서 심도 6m부터 15m까지 관입실험을 수행하였다. CRP는 실내실험에서 측정된 선단저항력과 전기비저항으로 조성된 시료의 각 지층 경계면을 뚜렷하게 평가하였으며, 현장실험에서는 3개의 협재층을 탐지하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 CRP는 실내 및 현장결과 적용성이 뛰어나 추후 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

This paper studies the dynamic foundation-soil-foundation interaction for two square rigid foundations embedded in a viscoelastic soil layer. The vibrations come from only one rigid foundation placed in the soil layer and subjected to harmonic loads of translation, rocking, and torsion. The required dynamic response of rigid surface foundations constitutes the solution of the wave equations obtained by taking account of the conditions of interaction. The solution is formulated using the frequency domain Boundary Element Method (BEM) in conjunction with the Kausel-Peek Green's function for a layered stratum, with the aid of the Thin Layer Method (TLM), to study the dynamic interaction between adjacent foundations. This approach allows the establishment of a mathematical model that enables us to determine the dynamic displacements amplitude of adjacent foundations according to their different separations, the depth of the substratum, foundations masss, foundations embedded, and the frequencies of excitation. This paper attempts to introduce an approach based on a polynomial mathematical tool conducted from several results of numerical methods (BEM-TLM) so that practicing civil engineers can evaluation the dynamic foundations displacements more easy.

This study, analyses the seismic response for a rigid massless square foundation resting on a viscoelastic soil layer limited by rigid bedrock. The foundation is subjected either to externally applied forces or to obliquely incident seismic body or surface harmonic seismic waves P, SV and SH. A 3-D frequency domain BEM formulation in conjunction with the thin layer method (TLM) is adapted here for the solution of elastodynamic problems and used for obtained the seismic response. The mathematical approach is based on the method of integral equations in the frequency domain using the formalism of Green's functions (Kausel and Peck 1982) for layered soil, the impedance functions are calculated by the compatibility condition. In this study, The key step is the characterization of the soil-foundation interaction with the input motion matrix. For each frequency the impedance matrix connects the applied forces to the resulting displacement, and the input motion matrix connects the displacement vector of the foundation to amplitudes of the free field motion. This approach has been applied to analyze the effect of soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of the foundation resting on a viscoelastic soil layer limited by rigid bedrock.

Constraints on the structure and composition of the active layer are important for understanding permafrost evolution. Soil convection owing to repeated moisture-induced freeze-thaw cycles within the active layer promotes the formation of self-organized patterned ground. Here we present the results of ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys across a selected sorted circle near King Sejong Station, Antarctica, to better delineate the active layer and its relation to the observed patterned ground structure. We acquire GPR data in both bistatic mode (common mid-points) for precise velocity constraints and monostatic mode (common-offset) for subsurface imaging. Reflections are derived from the active layer-permafrost boundary, organic layer-weathered soil boundary within the active layer, and frozen rock-fracture-filled ice boundary within the permafrost. The base of the imaged sorted circle possesses a convex-down shape in the central silty zone, which is typical for the pattern associated with convection-like soil motion within the active layer. The boundary between the central fine-silty domain and coarse-grained stone border is effectively identified in a radar amplitude contour at the assumed active layer depth, and is further examined in the frequency spectra of the near- and far-offset traces. The far-offset traces and the traces from the lower frequency components dominant on the far-offset traces would be associated with rapid absorption of higher frequency radiowave due to the voids in gravel-rich zone. The presented correlation strategies for analyzing very shallow, thin-layered GPR reflection data can potentially be applied to the various types of patterned ground, particularly for acquiring time-lapse imaging, when electric resistivity tomography is incorporated into the analysis.

본 연구에서 경계가 불규칙하고 여러 토층으로 이루어진 자연과 인공 사면에 대한, 토층의 경계에서 굴절하는 대수나선곡선을 파괴면으로 가정한 신뢰도해석 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델에서, 사면파괴토괴는 양 끝단이 수직평면으로 된 일정한 폭을 가진 Cylindroid로 가정하여 절편법을 적용하였고, 강도정수의 공간적인 변화, 불충분한 시료의 수에 의한 오차 그리고 실험실과 현장조건의 차이에서 오는 모델오차를 고려하여, FOSM 그리고 SOSM의 방법으로 신뢰도 지수를 구하여 파괴확률을 구하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이러한 연구를 기초로 다음의 결과를 얻었다: (1) 내부마찰각의 변동계수가 점착력의 변동계 수보다 민감하게 영향을 미침을 보여주었다. 따라서 대수나선파괴면의 사면안정해석에서 내부마 찰각의 불확실성이 사면안정에 더 큰 영향을 주므로 내부마찰각의 추정에 더 큰 주의를 기울여야할 것으로 사료된다. (2) 지진이 없을 경우에는, 사면폭이 증가함에 따라 전체 3차원파괴확률과 한계파괴폭은 증가하였으며, 지진이 있을 경우에는 전체 3차원파괴확률은 증가하였으나 한계 파괴폭은 전체 사면폭이 비교적 클 때, 진도가 커짐에 따라 급격히 감소하였다. (3) 지하수위는 높을수록, 전단강도와 수정계수는 작을수록 사면의 한계폭을 감소시키는 효과가 있다.

Soil and water contamination caused by the abundant use of agricultural chemicals including herbicides and fertilizers draws public concerns since these chemicals may pollute the agricultural lands as well as the food products grown on these lands. As a method to reduce the use of agricultural chemicals mulching with thin plastic film has been commonly practised for many years. Although use of the plastic film for mulching is very effective in preventing the growth of weed, it is almost impossible to remove all of the plastic film from the agricultural land and the remaining film eventually contaminates the soils. Therefore, it is very imperative to develop a mulching material that decomposes completely to prevent soil pollution problems and to enhance the competitive edge of domestic agriculture. Mulch papers are believed to have many positive characteristics in preventing problems caused by the plastic mulch film since it decomposes completely after use. However, the basis weight of mulch papers needs to be reduced to improve its handling properties and to reduce the raw material costs of pulps. In this paper the possibilities of using domestic old corrugated containers in producing mulch papers were examined. Also use of unbleached softwood kraft pulps and dry strength additives were exploited along with two-layered sheet forming technology in decreasing the basis weight of the mulch paper. Results showed that reduction of 20g/$m^2$ of basis weight of mulch paper was possible by the appropriate raw material selection and application of strength resin. To use the mulch papers in paddy fields, however, further research to improve its durability should be pursued.
