An expansive soil in 4970 special railway line in Dangyang City, China, has encountered a series of landslides due to the expansion characteristics of expansive soil over the past 50 years. Thereafter, a sheet-pile retaining structure was adopted to fortify the expansive soil slope after a comprehensive discussion. In order to evaluate the efficacy of engineering measure of sheet-pile retaining structure, the field test was carried out to investigate the lateral pressure and pile bending moment subjected to construction and service conditions, and the local daily rainfall was also recorded. It took more than 500 days to carry out the field investigation, and the general change laws of lateral pressure and pile bending moment versus local daily rainfall were obtained. The results show that the effect of rainfall on the moisture content of backfill behind the wall decreases with depth. The performance of sheet-pile retaining structure is sensitive to the intensity of rainfall. The arching effect is reduced significantly by employing a series of sheet behind piles. The lateral pressure behind the sheet exhibits a single-peak distribution. The turning point of the horizontal swelling pressure distribution is correlated with the self-weight pressure distribution of soil and the variation of soil moisture content. The measured pile bending moment is approximately 44% of the ultimate pile capacity, which indicates that the sheet-pile retaining structure is in a stable service condition with enough safety reserve.

During our investigation of ciliates from Korea, four ciliates were isolated from the non-flood Petri dish culture of soil. They were cultured under laboratory condition and studied using standard methods morphologically, including living observations, protargol impregnations, and morphometrics. The four species are Metopus hasei Sondheim, 1929, Urosomoida agiliformis Foissner, 1982, Oxytricha proximata Shibuya, 1930, and Cladotricha sp. in Nie${\ss}$en (1984) respectively.

It is essential to carry out site investigations such as SPT, CPT sampling etc. to understand the characteristics of soil deposits. However, the results deduced only from the engineering standpoint have limited information to fully understand ground characteristics. In this study, it is discussed site investigation results on Youngjong deposits obtained from not only the geotechnical standpoint, but also geotechnical and geological mixed standpoint to understand correct characteristics of Youngjong soil deposit.

유류오염 토양${\cdot}$지하수의 위해성은 널리 알려져 있다. 따라서 오염부지에 대한 조사 및 복원방법도 많이 개발되어 적용되고 있다. 그러나 유류는 그 종류가 다양하고 지중에 스며들면 그 성분들이 휘발, 흡착, 용해, 생분해 그리고 지하수 유동에 따른 확산 등 다양한 기작에 의해서 거동하게 되므로, 조사와 공법 적용 시에는 이에 대한 충분한 이해가 필요하다. 따라서 부지조사시 조사항목의 선정은 물론이고 오염성분 및 농도조사를 위한 시료 채취과정도 매우 중요하다. 또한 공법 선정과 설계 시에는 오염성분의 종류와 농도 외에도, 지층의 구성과 부지의 입지특성 등을 세밀히 파악하고, 관계법령의 숙지, 그리고 복원공사 실시 후 발생할 수 있는 문제의 검토에 이르기까지 체계적인 관찰이 필요하다. 본 고에서는 부지조사방법과 복원공법 선정과정에 대해서 실제 공사 사례를 인용하여 서술하였다.

본 조사의 목적은 적적한 조사방법이 미흡한 주유소에서의 오염현황 조사방법 및 그에 따른 주변지역으로의 오염물질이전 및 환경적 영향을 평가하는 것이다. Site assessment 방법에는 몇가지의 접근방법이 있는데, 본 연구에서는 정덕영(1997)에 의해 제안된 임의선정법/특별조사법 중 임의 격자법을 사용하였다. 조사결과에 의하면, 주유소에서의 물질성상은 몇 가지의 형태로 분류할 수 있었다. 지층구조는 약 1.5M까지는 매립토 (잡석&모래)로 충진하였으며, 1.8-3.5M 까지는 부드러운 모래와 미사토(Silty Sand빈 자연적인 토양층을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 4.0M 가까이에는 풍화토(C층) 출현하였다. (그림3. 지층구조측면도 참조). 또한, 저장탱크지역의 지하수위는 약 2.0M이며 남쪽에 흐르고 있는 개천의 수위와 거의 일정하게 유지되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 본 주유소 현황조사에 의하면, 실제의 누출이 UST 및 배관에서 진행되었으며, 오염농도는 대책지역기준인 200PPM을 초과한 것이 확인되었고, 오염원은 면적기준 $45M^{2}$내지 $50M^{2}$에 깊이 약 4M정도로 확산되어 있으며 2.0M에 서 3.5M사이에 부분적으로 고농도로 축적되어 있는 것이 확인되었고 오염의 정도는 계절에 따른 지하수위의 차이에 의해 이동된 것을 본 연구를 통하여 알아낼 수 있었다.

Laboratory analytical results of 22 sets of hydrophobic adsorbent coils containing surface soil-vapor and two soil samples collected by conventional intrusive method from each boring location at two active dry cleaning facilities in the State of Illinois, U.S.A, were presented to evaluate the performance of soil-vapor survey. The most critical factor to determine the effectiveness of soil-vapor survey is the distance from the soil-vapor sampling device to the actual contamination, which is a function of soil porosity, permeability, primary lithology, and other geological and hydrogeological site-specific parameters. Also this factor can be affected by the history of contaminant-generating operations. The laboratory analytical results in this study showed longer dry cleaning operation history (i.e., 50 years) and presence of fine sand at the beneath Site B allow the contaminants to migrate farther and deeper over a fixed time compared to Site A(i.e., 35 years and silty clay) so that the soil-vapor survey is not likely the most effective environmental site investigation method alone for Site B. However, for Site A, the soil-vapor survey successfully screened the site to identify the location reporting the highest soil concentration of chlorinated solvents.

The objective of this paper is to show that the soil-geotextile interaction needs to he addressed in addition to the usual tensile and modulus properties when the geotextile is being designed for a specific application. The soil-geotextile interaction can be directly assessed by standard direct shear test. The data presented here show that the shear strength paramaters describing the soil-geotextile interface can he greatly influenced by the type of the geotextile. In this investigation, we examined nine different geotextiles of varying construction and surface textures with two standard soil, under five loading conditions, and compared the shear strength and the frictional resistance with the corresponding values of soil itself The following conclusions were drawned from this study. 1. The shear stress-strain curve shows that there are the residual shear stresses at the soil-geotextile interface. Because of the hydraulic gradient between the soil and the geotextile, the excessive pore water can migrate into the geotextile and among the filaments and dissipate through the soil-geotextile interface. 2. The shear strength of the soil-geotextile interface is affected by the moisture content of the soil. At moisture content lower than the optimum water content of the Proctor compaction test, the shear strength of the soil-geotextile interface is greater. 3. The type and surface roughness of the geotextile have the greatest influence on the interface friction angle between the soil and the geotextile.

Investigation was carried out to assess the effect of cement dust deposition on the physico-chemical properties of soil near some cement plants in Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya. Soil samples were collected and analysed and compared with the control site. Comparison of various soil physico-chemical parameters revealed that cement dust emanating from cement plants has changed the soil quality in the surrounding areas of cement plants. The normal soil pH in the area is generally acidic. However, due to the continuous deposition of cement dust soil pH was found slightly alkaline near the cement plants. The higher values of soil parameters such as electrical conductivity and bulk density were also noticed near the cement plants. However, lower values of water holding capacity, soil moisture content, soil organic carbon and total nitrogen content were found compared to the control sites. The effect of cement dust deposition on soil is more in areas nearer to the cement plants. At present the changes may not be so serious but if this trend continues, soil properties of a vast area around the cement plants are likely to change leading to multiple effects on flora, fauna and socio-economy of the area.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate removal efficiency of $NH_4-N$ using the soil column. Soil, oyster shell and natural zeolite were used as a supporting media of soil column. Removal efficiencies of $NH_4-N$ were $35.9\%,\;41\%\;and\;93.4\%$ for the soil column packed with soil, natural $zeolite(20\%)$ and oyster $shell(20\%)$ at HRT of 72 hours, respectively. The addition of $20\%$ oyster shell to the soil accelerated nitrification in soil column. The influent ammonia nitrogen was mostly converted to nitrate nitrogen in the soil column and little ammonia nitrogen was found in the effluent. When the influent $NH_4-N$ concentration was 200 mg/l, the NIL-N removal was decreased at HRT of 48 hours, while nitrification was significantly increased after mechanical aeration. It was suggested that nitrification from higher $NH_4-N$ concentration was more affected by aeration in soil column process. The number of nitrifiers was approximately in a level of about $10^6\;MPN/g{\cdot}soil$ in the soil column mixed with oyster shell ($20\%$).
