There are two primary causes of the ground movement due to tunnelling in urban areas; firstly the lost ground and secondly the groundwater depression during construction. The groundwater depression was usually not considered as a cause of settlement in previous research works. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the combined effect of these two phenomena on the transverse settlement trough. Centrifuge model tests and numerical analysis were primarily selected as the methodology. The characteristics of settlement trough were analyzed by performing centrifuge model tests where acceleration reached up to 80g condition. Two different types of tunnel models of 180 mm diameter were prepared in order to match the prototype of a large tunnel of 14.4 m diameter. A volume loss model was made to simulate the excavation procedure at different volume loss and a drainage tunnel model was made to simulate the reduction in pore pressure distribution. Numerical analysis was performed using FLAC 2D program in order to analyze the effects of various groundwater depression values on the settlement trough. Unconfined fluid flow condition was selected to develop the phreatic surface and groundwater level on the surface. The settlement troughs obtained in the results were investigated according to the combined effect of excavation and groundwater depression. Subsequently, a new curve is suggested to consider elastic settlement in the modified Gaussian curve. The results show that the effects of groundwater depression are considerable as the settlement trough gets deeper and wider compared to the trough obtained only due to excavation. The relationships of maximum settlement and infection point with the reduced pore pressure at tunnel centerline are also suggested.

Seoul subway system has been constructed to solve traffic difficulties of Seoul metropolitan, and now is the major public transportation. However, the more line has added in the system the deeper the bottom of the tunnel base. And a huge amount of groundwater along the line has seeping into the tunnel. Several subway stations has pumping system to extract the groundwater to the outside and consequently, groundwater table along the line has declined gradually. Groundwater table has dropped about 40 meters at some areas, There was some study for the proper usage of the abstracted groundwater and the project to use the groundwater has launched already by the local government. However. more serious problem is expected on quality degradation of soil and groundwater as the decline of groundwater table along the subway line. This study suggests that the detailed groundwater environmental study should be made as soon as possible for this. If there is any pollution leaking at the surface area of the groundwater depression, the pollution will be seep into the subway tunnel in some day even though the time will be different with the soil material and hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer. And the polluted area of the soil and groundwater would be enlarged along the pathway The study on possibility of the soil subsidence and reducing surface water flow in small creek were also needed. This study suggest one of the counter measurement that restoring the declined groundwater table after groundwater environmental study

The study area has been contaminated with explosive materials and heavy metals for several decades. For the design of the pump and treat remediation method, groundwater flow before and during groundwater pumping in a contaminated aquifer system was simulated, calibrated, and predicted using a generalized multidimensional hydrological numerical model. A three-dimensional geologic formation model representing the geology, hydrogeology, and topography of the aquifer system was established. A steady-state numerical simulation with model calibration was performed to obtain initial steady-state spatial distributions of groundwater flow and groundwater table in the aquifer system before groundwater pumping, and its results were illustrated and analyzed. A series of transient-state numerical simulations were then performed during groundwater pumping with the four different pumping rates at a potential location of the pumping well. Its results are illustrated and analyzed to provide primary reference data for the pump and treat remediation method. The results of both steady-state and transient-state numerical simulations show that the spatial distribution and properties of the geologic media and the topography have significant effects on the groundwater flow and thus depression zone.

상주시 임곡리에 굴착된 심도 100 m 지하수공(PW-2)의 적정양수량을 산정하였다. 시추코아와, 물리검층 자료에 의하면 지하수 산출 심도는 26.1~26.5, 28.0~30.0, 33, 58, 71 m로 해석된다. 단계양수시험에 의하면 40, 55, 70, 90, $132m^3/d$의 양수량으로 70일간 양수시 수위강하량은 각각 6.48, 11.56, 18.07, 28.99, 60.26 m로 예상되었다. $117m^3/d$으로 250분간 실시한 일정량양수시험에서는 양수 경과시간 120~150분에 영향추가 불투수층 경계조건에 도달하여 급격한 수위강하가 일어나 PW-2의 한계채수량은 $90m^3/d$로 산정하였으며 이때의 수위강하량은 28.82~31.27 m이다. 적정양수량은 한계채수량의 범위내의 정류상태여야 하기 때문에 PW-2의 적정양수량은 $70{\sim}90m^3/d$로 제시하였다. 불투수층 경계조건에서 직선의 기울기가 급해지며 지하수의 DO와 ORP가 증가하는 것으로 보아 PW-2를 중심으로 한 기반암지하수의 발달은 제한적인 것으로 추정된다.

Aiming to elucidate the formation processes of Myeonsan wetland around the ridge from Myeonsan peak to Seokgae pass, this paper analyzes the geomorphic, physical and chemical characteristics of the wetland. The results are as follow: Firstly, resistant bedrock and big boulders distributed on the riverbed of the small channel from the wetland to Seokgaecheon have played a role as a temporary base level. At the upstream part above this point, a wide and shallow depression was formed and developed into a wetland. There was a gorge covered with boulders at downstream part. Secondly, owing to the obstacles at the outlet of wetland, deposits on bed tend to be downstream coarsening. Finally, deposits show weak acidity of pH 5.0~5.7. The source of wetland water is groundwater containing rich Ca and Na. Trees in the wetland help much more Ca accumulated. And deposit biotite and amphibole contained rich Mg have been weathered in the wetland.

In Korea, hundreds of abandoned and closed coal and metallic mines are present in the steep mountain valleys due to the depression of the mining industry since the late 1980s. From these mines, enormous amounts of coal waste were dumped on the slopes, which causes sedimentation and acid mine drainage (AMD) to be discharged directly into streams causing detrimental effects on soil and water environments. A limestone slurry by-product (lime cake) is produced from the Solvay process in manufacturing soda ash. It has very fine particles, low hydraulic conductivities ($10^{-8}{\sim}10^{-9}cm/sec$), high pH, high EC due to the presence of CaO, MgO and $CaCl_2$ as major components, and traces of heavy metals. Due to these properties, it has potential to be used as a neutralizer for acid-producing materials. A field plot experiment was used to test the application of lime cake for reclaiming coal wastes. Each plot was 20 x 5 m (L x W) in size on a 56% slope. Treatments included a control (waste only), calcite ($CaCO_3$), and lime cake. The lime requirement (LR) for the coal waste to pH 7.0 was determined and treatments consisted of adding 100%, 50%, and 25% of the LR. The lime cake and calcite were also applied in either a layer between the coal waste and topsoil or mixed into the topsoil and coal waste. Each plot was hydroseeded with grasses and planted with trees. In each plot, surface runoff and subsurface water were collected. The lime cake treatments increased the pH of coal waste from 3.5 to 6, and neutralized the pH of the runoff and leachate of the coal waste from 4.3 to 6.7.

In recent years, urban areas occurred several times a sinkhole. In Korea, this limestone area where the sink hole sink holes occur based on not much was seen as a very rare phenomenon. However, the occurrence of accidents in recent Subsidence and urban areas is occurring in the limestone sinkhole may yet see another one called artificial Subsidence phenomenon. Subsidence in urban areas can have various causes, such as depression groundwater level changes due to the influence of soil, underground, etc. underground utilities by anthropogenic actions. But a lot of research on natural sinkhole by geological experts continued steadily since the past Subsidence that occurred in recent years the city has become an urgent problem to formulate a countermeasure to be very concerned about the human and material damage. In this study, the city by analyzing existing research on the causes and countermeasures of Subsidence recently released look at the announced sinkhole, published statistics and cases of Subsidence data, and overseas corresponding practices in each relevant agencies and to suggest measures for local Subsidence.

본 연구는 대표적인 지하수 오염물 제거공정 중 하나인 양수처리 시스템 pumping-and-Treatment System, PTS)에 대하여 실제에 가까운 불균일한 토양구조에서 모사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 즉, 지하의 불포화지대에 유출된 오염물로서 고밀도 비수상액체 (denser-than-water non-aqueous phase liquids, DNAPLs)와 저밀도 비수상액체 (lighter-than-water non-aqueous phase liquids, LNAPLs)가 지하수의 계면 및 그 아래에서 안정하게 분포하고 있을 때, PTS 공정의 모사를 통하여 그 타당성을 조사하였다. 이때 DNAPL과 LNAPL은 각각 1,1-dichloroacetone와 n-hexane로 가정하였다. 대상토양은 불균일한 토양층과 부분적인 지하수 흐름을 가지는 2차원 토양구조로 가정하였고, 포화지대에 1 개의 well을 설치하여 펌핑을 시작한 후 시간에 따른 지하수면의 변화와 오염물이 제거되는 정도를 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 SIMPLEC 알고리즘을 이용한 유한체적법에 의하여 비정상상태 모사를 수행한 결과, LNAPL뿐 아니라 DNAPL도 지하수면과 만나는 초기단계의 경우 즉시 지하수면 아래로 가라앉지 않고 지하수면을 따라 퍼지게 되므로 펌핑에 의한 제거가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 펌핑을 시작한 후 약 5일 동안은 DNAPL과 LNAPL의 경우 모두 두드러진 제거효과가 나타나지 않았으나, 일단 지하수면의 모양이 원뿔 모양으로 변형되고 나서 급속히 체거효율이 높아졌다. 특히 DNAPL의 경우 중력의 영향을 더 크게 받아서 well주위의 움푹 들어간 지하수면을 따라 이동하며 LNAPL보다 더 빠른 속도로 제거가 이루어졌다. 본 연구의 결과에 나타난 지하수면의 형태적 변화는 상대압력으로 -0.5기압이라는 비교적 큰 음압과, 1m의 비교적 큰 well의 지름을 가정하였기 때문에 다소 과장된 것으로 보인다. 그러나, 본 연구를 통하여 오염물의 물성에 따른 PTS공정의 효율을 비교할 수 있었고, 지하수면의 형태적 변화를 유발하여 정화효율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 제시하였다.

In Korea, over three hundreds of the coal mines were closed or abandoned due to the depression of the mining industry since the late 1980s. Many of them locate in the steep mountain valleys and the coal mine wastes had been disposed without a proper treatment From these mines, enormous amounts of coal mine overburdens have been abandoned in the slopes and the ample amounts of acid mine drainage (AMD) from either portal or overburdens have been discharging directly to the streams, causing the detrimental effects on soil and water qualities. Objectives of this research were to reclaim the coal mine overburdens using the lime waste cake from the soda ash production by stabilizing the overburden slopes, introducing the vegetation alleviate the environmental problems caused by the closed coal mines. The percentages of the grass distribution ratio (%) and the surface coverage ($\textrm{cm}^2$) in each treatment plot were determined during June to August after seed spraying grasses such as orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L), Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis Anderss) at the end of May. The grasses covered only 15.5 % of the coal overburden plot at the early stage but the coverage was increased with time to 33% in August. Growth of such grasses was enhanced with the combined treatments of lime waste and topsoil resulting in the increased surface coverage by the grasses. The Increment of the surface coverage from June to August was higher with lime waste treatments. The distribution percentages and surface coverage were highest when the lime wastes were treated at 25 % of the lime requirement. This might be related with the high salt contents in the hire wastes. Results demonstrated that the amounts of lime wastes at 25% of the lime requirement were sufficient for neutralizing the acidic coal overburden and introducing the re-vegetation. Either layering between the coal waste and topsoil or mixing with coal overburdens could be adopted as the lime waste treatment method. The combined treatment of lime wastes and topsoil was recommended for re-vegetation in the coal overburden slopes. The lime wastes from the soda ash production might have a potential to be recycled for the reclamation of the abandoned coal mines to alleviate the environmental problems associated with coal mine waste.

지반 함몰 위험성에 대한 지질학적 인자는 매우 다양하다. 어떠한 지질학적 요인 또는 외부적인 영향에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있으며 동일한 지질학적 요인 내에서도 여러 가지 다른 물성값에 의해 지반함몰 영향인자가 결정될 수 있다. 다수의 논문 및 연구사례를 검토 한 결과 크게 7가지 범주의 지반함몰 요인이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 공동의 존재 여부에 따라 상재하중의 심도 및 두께가 지반침하에 영향을 줄 수 있고, 토사와 암반으로 구성된 지반에서는 그 경계면의 심도와 배향이 지배적 요소이다. 이 중 토사지반에서는 좀 더 다양한 영향인자로 구성이 되어있는데 토사의 종류, 전단강도, 상대밀도 및 다짐도, 건조단위중량, 함수비, 액성한계가 그것이다. 암반지반에서는 암석의 종류와 주 단열과의 거리 및 RQD가 영향인자로 구성될 수 있으며 수리지질학적 측면에서 접근했을 경우 강우 강도, 하천과의 거리와 심도, 투수계수 및 지하수위 변동이 영향을 줄 수 있다. 외부적인 요소도 지반함몰에 영향을 줄 수 있는데 굴착심도와 흙막이 벽과의 거리, 굴착공사 시 지하수 처리공법, 하수관로 등 인공시설물 존재 유무 등이 이에 해당된다. 최근 도심지의 지하구조물 건설에서 지반함몰 요소를 평가하는 것은 필수적일 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서 분석한 지반함몰 영향인자가 지반함몰위험 평가에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
