  • The objective of this study is to find the long-age strength property and the compressive strength of age which is used as the specified concrete strength. The W/W ratio (45%, 50%, 55%, 60%) fine aggregate of useful river sand or blended sand(river sane : sea sand=1:1) were chosen as the experimental parameters. the experimental results show that pH(it means the material segregation resistance) & suspension were increased larger, so W/C become larger, and slump flow was increased as W/C increased (except W/C=60%), air-contents were decreased as W/C became increase and all of this results are satisfied with the under of 40%. The compressive strength ( a case use only river sand as fine aggregate) is showed less than the case of blended asnd. Because the unit weight of the blended sand is more heavy than the unit weigh of the river sand. The results of the case which haven been used only river sand, and the case have been used blended sand), both case have considered W/C. So it's possible to use the compressive strength of age 28 day like the case of plain concrete.

  • The sand dunes at the lower reach of the Duman river indicate that their distribution patterns and directions conform to the dominant northwestern winter wind. On the riverbed of the Duman river at the surroundings of sand dunes form sandy point bars and mid-stream islands. The geomorphic processes of sand dunes can be classified into two types according to the depositional environments via analyses of the sand grain size and stratigraphic profiles. First, the sand dunes of Hoelyongbong, Kyeongshin-Wonjeong, and the riverside areas of the Duman river, have formed by alluvium of the Duman river which deposits and accumulates on the riverbed, then being wind blown to the nearby sand bars, terraces and higher eroded hills. The second type is the active sand dune of the Bangcheon-Nodongja District which develops similarly as to the formation of the first type, but the fixed sand dunes of the district seem to have formed in the underwater condition.

  • Recently, in the light of environments and utilization, countermeasures to preserve beaches in coastal area are required without depending on such as jetties and breakwaters. The necessity of integrated sand management including not only coastal sediment but also sediment discharge from hinterland rivers is increased so as to establish long-term counterplan for sediment transport. In this regard, the following subjects are examined in this study; efficient ways for discharged sand to be transported from a river to the neighboring coast, the river terrace occurrence and its growth at the river delta, measures to improve storage efficiency of the discharged sand and measures to prevent the sand resources from being discharged into the deep sea during flooding. In recent, A jetty of 260 m length was constructed at Namdae River mouth in the year of 2005 as a countermeasure against the occurrence of sand-bar at river mouth and its close. In this study, a series of numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of sediment transport and morphological change due to the construction of jetty at the entrance of Namdae River mouth. Firstly, The sand discharge from Namdae River is quantified by one-dimensional numerical analysis assuming the mixed sand of three different particle diameters. Then, in order to understand the transport behavior of the sand discharge from river and river mouth phenomena the numerical experiments were then conducted to examine the flow behaviors of river efflux and wind generated circulations in coastal area. And, after establishing the numerical model system, which predicts the sea bed changes obtained from the flux model combining with the wave propagation, wave-induced currents and sediment transport models, the sediment transport in the vicinity of Namdae River mouth is analyzed.

  • Due to the recent shortage of well-graded river sand resulting from a rapid growth of concrete construction, sea sand, crushed sand, and etc. are increasingly used instead. It is, however, well noted that non-washed sea sand leads to corrosion of the reinforcing steel in concrete, and thus eventually results in damage to concrete. Also, the crushed sand is not being widely used, since it is difficult to maintain the allowable amount of passing 0.08mm sieve and to adjust grading. On the other hand, because the fine sand of Nakdong-River has a poor grading but good quality as a fine aggregate for concrete, it is strongly needed to investigate the fine sand as an alternative fine aggregate. Thus, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the physical properties of the fine sand of Nakdong-River to utilize it actively as a fine aggregate. For this purpose, after the sand samples were collected according to typical location of main stream of Nakdong-River, the physical properties such as density in oven-dry condition, grading, unit volume mass, and etc. of them were estimated. It was observed from the test results that physical properties of the fine sand of Nakdong-River except grading were found to be excellent.

  • In this study, three kinds of fine aggregate (river sand, sea sand, crushed sand) were used and four different s/a (38%, 40%, 42%, 45%) were applied separately to this experimental for get the conclusion written below. Regardless of kinds of fine aggregate and casting-curing condition, maximum unit weight is seen at 40% of s/a and also to be seen in case of crushed sand. It's for that specific gravity of crushed sand is bigger comparatively than river sand and sea snad's one. Compressive strength is measured river sand, crushed sand, sea sand by order of size ; Regardless of variation of s/3, casting-curing condition and age. Compressive strength recorded maximum when s/a is 42% whatever sort of fine aggregate are. As the result, according to references, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 40% but in this study, from compressive strength of view, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 42%.

  • To collect the diatom species belonging to the genus Hantzschia, bottom sediments were collected from 32 sampling sites in 23 sand-flat areas in the intertidal zone and river reaches of Nakdong River estuary, Korea. The sand sediments contained a total of 19 species of genus Hantzschia, Hantzschia amphioxys (Ehrenberg) Grunow, H. amphioxys f. capitata O. Muller, H. baltica Simonsen, H. distinctepunctata (Hustedt) Hustedt, H. elegantula (Østrup) Witkowski et al., H. longiareolata Garcia-Baptista, H. marina (Donkin) Grunow, H. pseudomarina Hustedt, H. virgata (Roper) Grunow, H. virgata var. gracilis Hustedt, H. virgata var. kariana Grunow, H. virgata var. leptocephala Østrup and H. weyprechtii Grunow, including six unconfirmed species. Eleven Hantzschia species are reported as new to Korea. Hantzschia virgata, its infraspecies, and neighboring speceis showed large morphological variations within a single species or among the closely related species. Hantzschia amphioxys, H. distinctepunctata, and H. virgata var. leptocephala prefer freshwater habitats in the upper reaches of the river, while others occurred mainly in the sand flats composed of coarse sand in the intertidal area. In the estuarine sediments, the Hantzschia taxa are classified to be typical sand-attached forms.

  • The objective of this study is to investigate the bond strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. The arrangement of bars (vertical bar, horizontal upper bar, horizontal lower bar), condition of casting and curing (fresh water, sea water), type of fine aggregate (river sand, blended sand(river sand : sea sand = 1:1), and proportioning strength of concrete (210, 240, 270, 300, 330kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)are chosen as the experimental parameters. The test results(ultimate bond stress) are compared with bond and development provisions of the ACI Building Code(ACI 318-89) and proposed equations from previous research(which was proposed by Orangun et. al). The experimental results show that ultimate bond stress of antiwashout underwater concrete which arranged bar on the horizontal lower, used the blend sand, and was cast and cured in the fresh water are higher that other conditions. The ultimate bond stress were increased in proportion to {{{{( SQRT {fcu }) }}3 2. From this study, rational analytic formula for the ultimate bond stress are to be from compressive strength of concrete.

  • Remarkable development of sand bars is an important characteristic of fluviatile landform of Korea. Their development owes, in one part, to the supply of abundant sandy materials to river valley floor, originated from the weathering of essentially granitic rocks, distributed almost all over the country. It owes, in other part, to river valley disposition presenting many angular sinuosity guided by fracture grid, impeding regular migration of sandy materials along valley floor. Besides, high amplitude of river discharge fluctuation of the country plays is proved to be favorable hydrological factor for the development of the sand bars. The sand bars play important roles in favor of river hydro-ecological environment. They mitigate the amplitude of discharge fluctuation regime. In flood spell, sand grains in the main channel migrate so as to broden wet section. At the spell of low water level, they newly accumulate as to impede rapid stream discharge. Especially high quantity of reserved water in porous space of sand bar is preciously available both for human livelihood and for ecological environment.

  • Due to the recent shortage of river sand resulting from a rapid growth of concrete construction, sea sand and pit sand are increasingly used in stead. It is , however, well noted that non-washed sea sand used in reinforced concrete causes to corrode reinforcing steel and to incur cracks in concrete, and thus eventually result in damage to concrete. Moreover, many sources of pit sand in our country are randomly used without experimental research for its applicability to concrete construction. The purpose of this research to activate the usage of pit sand and sea sand for concrete construction to solve the recent shortage of river sand. Followings have been experimentally investigated : 1)Physical properties of pit sand and sea sand, 2)Compressive strength of mortar on the weight of pit sand passing through No.200 sieve, 3) Compressive strength of mortar on the chloride content of sea sand, 4) Compressive strengths of concrete using pit sand and sea sand, respectively, 5)Corrosion propagatio in reinforcing steel on the chloride concent, of sea sand, and 6)etc.
