This study was conducted to develop the SWCC estimation equation using scaling technique, and to investigate relative sensitivity of the SWCC according to the soil water tension, for the four kinds of soil texture such as Sand [S], Sandy Loam [SL], Loam [L] and Clay Loam [CL]. The SWCC estimation equation of scale factor [${\Theta}sc$] (Eq. 1) was developed based on the log function (Eq. 2) and exponential function (Eq. 3). ${\Theta}sc=[({\Theta}-{\Theta}r)/({\Theta}s-{\Theta}r)]$ (Eq. 1) ${\Theta}sc=-0.196ln(H)+0.4888$ (Eq. 2) ${\Theta}sc=0.3804(H)^{(-0.448)}$ (Eq. 3) where, ${\Theta}$: water content (g/g %), ${\Theta}s$: water content at 0.1bar, ${\Theta}r$: water content at 15bar, H: soil water tension (matric potential) (bar) Relative sensitivity of soil water content was decreased as increase soil water tension, those according to soil water tension were 0.952~0.620 compared to 0.1bar case. Relative sensitivity of scale factor was also decreased as increase soil water tension, those according to soil water tension were 0.890~0.577 compared to 0.2bar case.

Since 1998 for protection of marine pollution, all ships must have oil filtering equipment and 15ppm bilge alarms which satisfy Requirements of MARPOL 73/78. Oily-water separator used in machinery area of ships usually consists of two parts; one is filtering equipment and the other is oil content meter(OCM). This study presents optical characteristics of bilge were acquired form oil content sensing module. The oil content sensing module consists of IR-LED light source, photo-diode light receivers, and a glass tube for bilge water sample. The experiment with the bilge water demonstrates various valuable optical properties. These optical properties suggest notes and guides to make the low-cost, easy operation and good performance commercial type OCM that satisfy the requirements of MARPOL 73/78.

This paper presents the prediction of shear strength of oil contaminated clay using fall cone test used to determine the liquid limit of soil. The penetration depth of fall cone is related to water content of soil. Laboratory vane shear can also be related to water content. To explore the relative correlation between penetration depth of fall cone and laboratory vane shear, both fall cone tests and laboratory vane shear test were carried out with water contents of soil. The developed empirical relationships in this studys showed that the shear strength is reduced to 3.9% with 1% increase of oil content. And, the lesser initial water content of contaminated clay, the more shear strength of contaminated clay is affected by oil content.

본 연구는 경상북도 구미시 천생산 지역의 조립질 퇴적암을 대상으로 수분값과 풍화지수를 측정하여 상관관계를 분석하고 있다. 암석시료 20개를 대상으로 함수율과 흡수율, 수분측정기를 이용한 계측값 등 다양한 수분값을 구하였으며, 이를 XRF 분석을 통해 얻은 화학적 풍화지수(CIA)와 비교분석함으로써 각각의 상관성을 검토하였다. 분석 결과, 퇴적암의 경우 역의 함유량이 많거나 치밀도가 낮은 암석일수록 함수율과 흡수율은 높게 나타나며 흡수율이 증가할수록 $SiO_2$와 $Al_2O_3$는 증가하는 경향을 보이는 반면 CaO와 $Na_2O$는 장석류의 풍화로 인해 감소하는 경향이 확인된다. 이는 흡수율이 증가함에 따라 화학적 풍화지수도 함께 증가하는 사실을 보여주는 것으로 화강암을 대상으로 한 기존의 연구들과 유사한 결과를 보여주고 있다.

The mechanical properties of the concrete-frozen soil interface play a significant role in the stability and service performance of construction projects in cold regions. Current research mainly focuses on the precast concrete-frozen soil interface, with limited consideration for the more realistic cast-in-place concrete-frozen soil interface. The two construction methods result in completely different contact surface morphologies and exhibit significant differences in mechanical properties. Therefore, this study selects silty clay as the research object and conducts direct shear tests on the concrete-frozen soil interface under conditions of initial water content ranging from 12% to 24%, normal stress from 50 kPa to 300 kPa, and freezing temperature of -3℃. The results indicate that (1) both interface shear stress-displacement curves can be divided into three stages: rapid growth of shear stress, softening of shear stress after peak, and residual stability; (2) the peak strength of both interfaces increases initially and then decreases with an increase in water content, while residual strength is relatively less affected by water content; (3) peak strength and residual strength are linearly positively correlated with normal stress, and the strength of ice bonding is less affected by normal stress; (4) the mechanical properties of the cast-in-place concrete-frozen soil interface are significantly better than those of the precast concrete-frozen soil interface. However, when the water content is high, the former's mechanical performance deteriorates much more than the latter, leading to severe strength loss. Therefore, in practical engineering, cast-in-place concrete construction is preferred in cases of higher negative temperatures and lower water content, while precast concrete construction is considered in cases of lower negative temperatures and higher water content. This study provides reference for the construction of frozen soil-structure interface in cold regions and basic data support for improving the stability and service performance of cold region engineering.

Wet porous media representing agronomic soil that contains variable water content with variable electrolyte concentration was measured to study the shape of the curves of the electric double layer capacitance versus frequency (from 10 KHz to 10 MHz. This was done in an attempt to find the lowest practical operating frequency for developing low cost dielectric constant soil moisture probes. Cellulose sponge was used as the porous media. A high frequency electronic bridge circuit was developed for measuring the equivalent network parallel resistance and capacitance of porous media. It appears that the effects of the electric double layer component of the total parallel network capacitance essentially disappear at operating frequencies greater than approximately 25 MHz at low electrolyte concentrations but are still important at 50 MHz at higher concentrations. At these frequencies, the double layer capacitance masks the diffusion region capacitance where true water content capacitance values reside. The general shape of the curve of volumetric water content versus porous media dielectric constant is presented, with an empirical equation representing data for this type of curve. It was concluded that the lowest frequency where dielectric constant values which represent true water content information will most likely be found is between 30 and 50 MHz at low electrolyte concentrations but may be above 50 MHz when the total electrolyte concentration is near the upper level required for most mesophyte plant nutrition.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of soil properties, such as soil organic matter(SOM) content and water content on die-off and regrowth of indigenous microbes due to in-situ ozonation. Four different soils were collected and the soil samples applied to different ozonation time(0-360 min) were incubated during 4 weeks. Population of the indigenous microbes was monitored during incubation period. The number of indigenous microbes in all samples dramatically decreased (more than 90%) within 30 minutes of ozone injection. With increased ozonation time by 360 minutes, the number of the indigenous microbes decreased by 99.99% in all samples. Die-off of the indigenous microbes due to ozone treatment was inversely proportional to SOM and water content. Especially, sample 3 and Sample 4 containing relatively high SOM content and water content showed high regrowth rate, and this resulted from the increase of water soluble and biodegradable organic fraction in soil water after ozone treatment. Soil sample ozonated for 360 minutes showed minor increase in microbial population during 4 weeks of incubation period.

Currently, interest in the quality of concrete is increasing. Among the important factors for evaluating the quality of concrete, interest in unit-water content is also increasing. Currently, the air-meter method, the microwave oven drying method, the capacitance method, and the microwave penetration method are used to measure the unit-water content of concrete.. Among the above methods, except for the microwave method, the measurement method is complicated, portability is reduced, and economic efficiency is reduced. This research aims to measure a unit-water content by using a Frequency Domain Reflectometry(FDR) sensor that is economical, simple to measure, and portable among microwave methods. In addition, it is an experimental study to determine the accuracy of unit-water content using a single input residual model during deep learning to solve the limitations of the FDR sensor.

본 연구에서는 초분광 근적외선 영상을 이용하여 광역지역의 흙의 함수비 변화를 간편한 방법으로 예측하기 위해 수행되었다. 근적외선(VNIR) 영역대에서 변화되는 함수비 별로 모래, 화강풍화토(우면산, 구룡산, 대모산, 황령산), 카오리나이트를 초분광 카메라로 촬영하여 반사율을 추출하였고, 흙의 함수비와 가장 연관성 높은 매개변수를 찾기 위하여 선정된 매개변수와 함수비를 변수로하여 Partial Least Square Regression(PLSR) 분석을 이용하여 함수비 예측모델을 구축하였다. 함수비 예측모델을 구축한 결과, 흙의 종류에 관계없이 Area of reflectance(Near-infrared, NIR)의 매개변수가 흙의 함수비와 가장 연관성 높은 매개변수임을 확인하였고, 모든 흙에서 예측모델의 정확도(R²)는 0.9 이상임을 확인하였다. 또한 흙의 실제 함수비와 비교 검증해본 결과, 평균절대백분율(mean absolute percentage error, MAPE)이 15%이내로 확인되었다. 따라서 대상 흙들에서 50% 이내에서 변화되는 함수비 예측 가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 초분광 근적외선 영상을 이용하여 모래, 화강풍화토, 카오리나이트의 함수비 예측 가능성을 확인하였고, 모델의 정확도 개선 및 더 높은 범위의 함수비 예측을 위해서는 흙의 분류모델 개발이 추가적으로 필요하다고 판단된다.
