When pile foundation constructed by driving method, it is desirable to perform monitoring and estimation of pile drivability and bearing capacity using some suitable tools. Dynamic Pile Monitoring yields information regarding the hammer, driving system, and pile and soil behaviour that can be used to confirm the assumptions of wave equation analysis. Dynamic Pile Monitoring is performed with the Pile Driving Analyser. The Pile Driving Analyser (PDA) uses wave propagation theory to compute numerous variables that fully describe the condition of the hammer-pile-soil system in real time, following each hammer impact. This approach allows immediate field verification of hammer performance, driving efficiency, and an estimate of pile capacity. The PDA has been used widely as a most effective control method of pile installations. A set of PDA test was performed at the site of Donghea-1 Gas Platform Jacket which is located east of Ulsan. The drilling core sediments of location of jacket subsoil are composed of mud and sand, silt. In this case study, the results of PDA test which was applied to measurement and estimation of large diameter open ended steel pipe pile driven by underwater hydraulic hammer, MHU-800S, at the marine sediments were summarized.

When pile foundation is constructed by dynamic method, it is desirable to perform monitoring of drivability with pile penetration. Dynamic pile monitoring yields information regarding driving hammer, cushion, pile and soil behaviour that can be used to confirm the assumptions of wave equation analysis. In this study, dynamic monitoring of the steel pipe pile was performed with Pile Driving Analyser (PDA). The PDA utilizes the wave propagation theory to compute numerous variables which describe the conditions of the hammer-pile-soil system in real-time and following each hammer impact. This approach allows immediate field verification of hammer performance, driving efficiency, and estimation of pile bearing capacity. A series of PDA test were performed at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) located in southeast of Marado, a southernmost small island south of Jeju Island. The drilling core sediments of Ieodo subsoil are composed of mud and sand, showing lamination and wavy or lenticular bedding, which were often bioturbated. This paper summarizes the results of PDA tests which were applied in measurement and estimation of large diameter open ended steel pipe pile driven by steam hammer, Vulcan-560 and MRBS-4600, at the marine sediments.

In order to investigate the effect of internal loading from sediment on algal blooming at Chusori area in Daechung Reservoir, the amount and contamination level of sediment and the release rate of total phosphorus were analyzed. The sedimentary layer was consisted with two layers, and the average depth of upper and lower ones were 0.35 and 1.44 m, respectively. The fraction of inorganic phosphorus in the sediment was higher than that of organic phosphorus, and the fractions of phosphorus which responsible for internal loading were very high as in the range of 72.7 and 80.2% of inorganic phosphorus. The C/N ratio of sediment taken with core sampler indicated the organic compounds are originated from settled algae from water body. The average release rate of total phosphorus from sediment was $6.74({\pm}0.50)mg/m^2/day$. These results indicated that the internal loading from sediment contributes the excessive algal growth at Churosi area, and the countermeasures to improve the quality of sediments are required to manage algal blooming in Daechung Reservoir.

Weirs are conventional structures that control water level and velocity in streams to facilitate water resource management. Despite many weirs built in streams, there is little information how weirs change hydrology regime and how that translates to sediment and phosphorus (P) responses. This study evaluated the influence of weirs on P retention and mobilization in an urban tributary of the Han River in Korea. Total P concentrations in sediments upstream of weirs were higher than the downstream site, mainly due to the increase of potentially available fractions (labile P and aluminum- and iron-bound P) (p < 0.05). Equilibrium phosphorus concentrations ($EPC_o$) were lower than soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations of stream waters, but there was an increasing trend of sediment $EPC_o$ upstream of weirs compared to the downstream site (p < 0.001) indicating a greater potential for P release upstream of weirs. Sediment core incubation showed that SRP release rates upstream of weirs were higher than the downstream site under anoxic conditions of the water column (p < 0.01), but not under oxic conditions. SRP release rates under anoxic conditions were greater than that measured under oxic conditions. Un-neutral pH and increased temperature could also enhance SRP release rates upstream of weirs. We conclude that weirs can increase P retention within stream sediments and potentially promote significant P releases into waters, which in turn cause eutrophication.

Basic studies on natural gas hydrates in the East Sea were been carried out by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) from 2000 to 2004 involving 2D multichannel seismic lines and piston coring. 27 piston cores recovered from the deed-water Ulleung Basin of the East Sea were analyzed in this study. In piston cores cracks generally developed parallel to bedding suggest significant gas content. The core analyses showed high total organic carbon (TOC) content, sedimentation rate and heat flow of sediments. The cores recovered from the southern study area show also high residual hydrocarbon gas concentrations for the formation of natural gas hydrates. This study indicates that there is the potential for the generation of biogenic gas and the formation of natural gas hydrates in the near seafloor sediments of the study area.

Mineral composition and chemistry of the clay minerals in the three cores from the continental shelves of South Shetland Islands (NCS09) and Anberse Island (GC98-2), and from the fjord of King George Island (A10-01) were determined by X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analysis in search of the distributions and origin of the clay minerals in the Antarctic marine sediments. Smectite content is relatively high in NCS09 regardless of core depths (av. 8.3%), but low in GC98-2 (1.1%). In Al0-01, smectite content is higher in the upper section than in the lower section. Kaolinite was not detected from all the cores in this study Yellow to yellowish green clay granules were commonly scattered in the sediments of NCS09 cores. The clays contain 16.97% and 2.53% $Fe_2$$O_3$와 $K_2$O. Average structural formula of the clay indicates ferrian beidellite . The (Fe, K)-rich smectite of NSC09 must have been derived from relatively young basaltic volcanics altered by reaction with seawater near Shetland Islands by glacial erosion or eolian process related to volcanic eruption. GC98-2 nearer to Antarctic continent is very low in smectite content. In A10-01, the lower diamicton was deposited from the glacial erosion of smectite-free ancient volcanics in the interior of King George Island, while the upper section was derived from the smectite-bearing terrestrial debris and eolian materials after retreat of glaciers in Marian Cove and ice cover in Barton Peninsula. Thehigh K contents of smectites suggest the interstratification of illite and smectite layers, which might be observed by future TEM lattice fringe imaging.

Regional geophysical surveys and geological cal studies on natural gas hydrate (NGH) in the East Sea were carried out by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) from 2000 to 2004. 16 piston cores, 2270 L-km of multi-channel reflection seismic (MCRS) data and 730 L-km of 3.5kHz Chirp data obtained from the southwestern part of the deep-water Ulleung Basin were analyzed in this study. In piston cores, cracks generally developed parallel to bedding suggest significant gas content. The core analyses showed high total organic carbon (TOC) content, sedimentation rate and heat flow of sediments. These are in favor of the general ion of substantial biogenic methane, which can form the NGH within the stability zone of the near seafloor sediments in the study area. The cores generally show also high residual hydrocarbon gas concentrations for the formation of natural gas hydrates The geophysical indicators of the presence of gas and/or NGH such as bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs), seismic blank Bones, pockmarks and gas seeping features were well defined on the MCRS and Chirp data.

한국 남동해역 내대륙붕 이토대(mudbelt) 퇴적물의 물리적 성질을 연구하기 위하여 이토대지역 총 14개 정점에서 피스톤시추기를 이용하여 해저 퇴적물을 채취하였다. 시추퇴적물은 실험실에서 각 코어별 일정한 깊이로 퇴적물의 조직, 물리적 성질 및 음파전달속도를 측정하였다. 표층퇴적물의 조직 중 평균입도는 연구지역의 남쪽지역인 울산 앞바다에서 북쪽으로 갈수록 등수심선과 거의 평행하게 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 물리적 성질인 습윤전밀도와 공극율 그라고 속도 등의 분포 형태도 평균입도 분포와 유사하게 변화하는 경향을 뚜렷하게 보여주어 퇴적물의 입도가 물성에 큰 영향을 끼치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 퇴적물의 조직 및 물성의 분포특성은 낙동강 및 한반도 주변에서 공급된 세립질 퇴직물이 연안류나 대마난류 등에 의해 해안선을 따라 북동쪽으로 이동하면서 분급화되어 북쪽으로 갈수록 점진적으로 조립질에서 세립질로 변해가는 퇴적과정을 보여주는 것으로 해석된다. 퇴적물의 조직, 물성 및 속도등의 수직적인 변화도 최적후의 다짐작용보다는 퇴적물의 조직에 의해 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 조직 및 물성간의 상관관계를 보면 비교모델로 시용한 북태평양 대륙붕 및 사면퇴적물은 물론 남해대륙붕 퇴적물과 전반적인 경향은 유사하나 절대값의 차이가 있다. 즉 같은 조직 및 물성값에 대해 본 연구지역의 속도가 더 높다. 이러한 결과는 퇴적물의 기원에 기인한 광물조성 및 퇴적환경의 차이와 본 연구지역에 비교적 흔한 가스함유퇴적층의 존재로 인한 가스의 방출로 퇴적물의 공극비가 감소하여 높은 속도감을 보이는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 FSM 축과 코스레 맹그로브 퇴적물 내 7개 중금속(Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd 및 Pb)의 오염도를 평가하였다. 맹그로브 퇴적물 내 중금속의 평균농도는 Cr 642 ${\mu}g/g$, Ni 125 ${\mu}g/g$, Cu 46.9 ${\mu}g/g$, Zn 149 ${\mu}g/g$, As 15.6 ${\mu}g/g$, Cd 0.14 ${\mu}g/g$ 및 Pb 8.55 ${\mu}g/g$으로 Cr의 농도가 가장 높았으며 Cd이 가장 낮은 농도로 존재하고 있었다. 축과 코스레 지역을 비교하면 코스레 맹그로브 퇴적물은 Cr과 Ni의 농도가 축에 비해 높았으며, 나머지 원소인 Cu, Zn, As, Cd 및 Pb는 축 맹그로브 퇴적물에서의 농도가 코스레에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 세계의 맹그로브 지역의 퇴적물 내 중금속의 농도와 비교한 축과 코스레 지역에서 채취한 맹그로브 퇴적물 Cr, Ni 및 As의 농도는 인간활동에 의한 인위적인 오염이 존재하는 다른 지역보다 높은 수준으로 나타났으며, Cu, Zn, Cd 및 Pb은 오염되지 않은 지역과 유사한 농도를 나타내었다. EF와 PLI를 이용하여 농축도(오염도) 평가결과에 의하면, As의 농축도는 높으나 나머지 원소는 오히려 배경농도에 비해 결핍된 것을 알 수 있었다.
