In the construction operation, foundation work should be done in advance for the building structure to be installed. This foundation work include a number of activities such as excavation, ground water prevention, piling, wale installation, etc. Caution should be taken in the operation because the dynamics of earth movement can cause a significant failure in the temporary structure. The temporary structure, therefore, should be constantly monitored to understand its behavior. This paper introduces the USN-based monitoring system to automatically identify the behavior of the temporary structure in addition to visual inspection. The autonomous capability of the monitoring system can increase the safety in the construction operation by providing the detailed structural changes of temporary structures.

In Taiwan there are 21 Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators (MSWI) built to treat 80% of the MSW nationwide. Approximately 2,000 tons of incineration ashes of municipal waste contain reaction ash and fly ash (3:1 by weight)will be produced daily, and this may cause a serious waste problem. According to EPA regulations, reaction ash and fly ash produced after incineration should be properly treated. Landfill capacity barely meets the general demands. More efficient actions should be planned and taken. The study found 'reclamation' should be the optimal solution to this problem. Only limited research and previous successful experiences are available among other countries. An incinerator in Northern Taiwan is chosen for this study to make environmental bricks from the reaction ash and fly ash. From the previous tests, the results of strength test were measured. From the previous test results, the fly ash products have not reached the desired strength; hence, reaction ash is chosen for further pilot study. In the experiment, incineration ashes, cement and gravel are mixed in the ratio of 1:1:1(by weight), to ground concretization aggregate and pelletization aggregate, the concrete products made from the aggregates were of the strength of 108 $kgf/cm^2$ and 142 $kgf/cm^2$ individually. For the purpose of making nonstructural walls which met the State Building Standards. In the study, 50 tons of concrete products was yielded from aggregate and environmental bricks. Further observation and supervision are recommended to ascertain the resource recycling and reclamation. EPA has planned to build three 'Recycling Plants' in northern, middle and southern Taiwan to develop efficient techniques to produce concrete products, sub-base course, soundproofing wall, gravel, artificial fishing reefs, tiles, drainage, bricks and etc. This experiment of the demonstrative plant solves the problem of the incineration ashes and opens another opportunity to reclaim them.

The name of (Ban)wolseong thanks to its having a shape like a half-moon. Wolseong fortress is one of 'Gyeongju Historic Area', world heritage. The Silla kingdom's royal palace previously maintained its capital fortress at the locale of Wolseong. However its real face has been kept in mystery. This study grafts Geophysics on modern Archaeology and approaches with scientific and systematic methods to an excavation plan or archaeological study by means of GPR exploration which can complement archaeological curiosity without destroying Wolseong fortress. The exploration area is $12,000m^2$ in front of Seokbinggo(stone storage for ice). It is only $10\%$ area of Wolseong fortress. As a conclusion, GPR detected 7 of squared buildings($8{\times}8m^2$ size), stone wall, an entrance for the fortress, lots of foundation stones, road(presumptive), and a presumptive pond which size is 35${\~}$40m in diameter.

The EPS has the unit weight of only 20~30kg/m3 and is used as one of the methods of reducing road embankment loads. Parts of it's applications are for backfill materials of structures like abutment, retaining wall, etc., to reduce horizontal earth pressure and for banking materials to secure the safety of settlement and bearing capacity by minimizing the stress Increment. However, the Korean Standards (KS) has not yet proposed any testing method for use of EPS as a engineering banking material. Only its testing and quality ordinance as a heat insulation material has been standardized. Therefore, in Korea, EPS is used as banking material without any systematic testing data as a civil engineering material. In this point of view, this paper deals with the engineering characteristics of EPS through many laboratory tests on strength, strain, absorption, and creep. from the results achived through tests, this paper proposes the enactment of a suitable quality testing ordinance and the criteria of unconfined design strength of EPS for use as engineering material.

This study was conducted to offer preliminary data for a natural restoration by the actual condition survey of quarries after extracting rock materials. The mountain restoration area according to a farming and fishing village organize project was restored by green landscape after quarry. However, planting tree species were died due to poor maintenance and administration after restoration works and surface soil loss and erosion occurred during a summer rainfall season because of poor slope greening. It will be needed to review restoration constructions to establish a natural friendly and flawless construction through the selection of optimum restoration works and the examination of soil and geological characteristics. In addition, it is necessary to apply cost-reducing program of restoration constructions. Quarry areas could be restored by the selection of simple and optimum construction works because the most areas were dominant in earth-sand rocks, soft-rocks, and weather-rocks. In addition, the restoration construction project should be examined thoroughly by restoration specialists during green restoration planning and review processes.

This paper holds three objects. The first is to analyze surveys of concerning zone and promotion department. The data were collected through an examination of construction excavated in coastal soft (marine) clay and measurements obtained during excavating construction. The second is to observe the appropriate selection and the application of support system on earth retaining wall in soft clay. Lateral deformation behavior during the excavating construction according to the differences in a soft ground pressuring degree was investigated. The third is to compare the results with those of numerical analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of lateral deformation when soft ground improvement for the expansion of infrastructure in object of study zone has been incompleted. Also, it is to identify the relationship between the degree of consolidation of soft ground and lateral deformation, in a method of displacement quantity in compliance with the numerical analysis and a quatitative analysis. In conclusion, displacement of excavated section after consolidation was fewer 60% averagely than section under consolidation.

When conducting excavations after burying the soft ground, even if the retaining walls are installed, failure often occurs within backfill. In order to minimize the occurrences of failures, model test was performed after the installation of stabilizing piles to investigate the stabilizing effects. The model chamber is set up with clay foundation reinforced with and without stabilizing piles. During the excavation of clay foundation, the subsidence, pore water pressure, and soil pressure along the excavation were measured. As a result of the model test, the increase of excavation levels and the reduction of subsidence of back ground were observed with the stabilizing piles, compared to those without the stabilizing piles. The installation of stabilizing piles does not influence the pore water pressure change, but induces less subsidence rate. In addition, the depth of excavation has a significant effect on the back ground and it was evaluated that the maximum subsidence occurs as it is closer to the excavation point.

Compound calcrete deposits are recognized from the Dadaepo Formation in Dusong peninsula, Pusan, and their textures, structures, morphology, and stratigraphic distribution are examined. The Dadaepo Formation in study area consists of fluvial plain deposits including floodplain-lake deposits, and the compound calcrete deposits occur above floodplain deposits and below lacustrine deposits. The compound calcrete deposits are composed of nodular to massive (micritic), laminar, nodular, nodular to massive (marly), and marly calcrete deposits. In these calcretes, circumgranular and curved cracks, alveolar structures, fitted peloids, tubular fenestrae with laminar micrite wall (rootlet casts), microstalactic calcite, and tepee structures are observed, which indicates that they are calcic paleosols. Considering their stratigraphic occurrences and pedogenic origin, compound calcrete deposits are interpreted to have formed on distal fluvial plain to palustrine environment by the repetetion of deposition and subsequent calcification due to alternation of lake expansion and contraction. The repetetion of calcrete formation suggests that arid climatic condition was alternated with humid condition in short-term period. Such alternated paleoclimatic condition is similar to those of the Sindong and Hayang groups, and indicates that short-term fluctuations from arid to humid climate were prevailing in overall Gyeongsang Basin. In stratigraphic sense, the compound calcrete deposits can be used as a marker deposit for the correlation of the Dadaepo Formation.

The Eonyang amethyst deposits are composed of vug quartz emplaced in the Eonyang granites of Mesozoic Cretaceous age. The Eonyang granites are composed of biotite granite, porphyritic biotite granite, aplite and miarolitic granite. The petrochemical data of the Eonyang granites show the trend of subalkaline magma, calc-alkaline magma, I-type granitoid and magnetite series. The vug quartz show the characteristic growth zoning (white quartz-smoky quartz-amethyst) from wall side. Generally fluid inclusions in the vug quartz can be divided into four main types based on compositions (I-type: gas inclusion, II-type: liquid inclusion, III-type: polyphase inclusion, IV-type: liquid $CO_2$-bearing inclusion). Solid phase of polyphase inclusions are halite(NaCl), sylvite(KCl), hematite ($Fe_2O_3$) and unknown anisotropic solid. Homogenization temperatures inferred from the fluid inclusion study ranges from $440^{\circ}C$ to $485^{\circ}C$ in white quartz, from $227^{\circ}C$ to $384^{\circ}C$ in smoky quartz, from $133^{\circ}C$ to $186^{\circ}C$ in amethyst, respectively. Salinities of fluid inclusions in each mineralization stages ranges from 40 wt.% to 58 wt.% in white and smoky quartz, from 1.0 wt.% to 8.7 wt.% in amethyst respectively. A consideration of the pressure regime during vug quartz deposition based on the boiling evidence suggests lithostatic pressure of less than 72 bars. This range of pressure indicate that vug quartz lay at depth of 750 m below the surface at the during mineralization.
