In this study, the fly ash was employed as a possible alternative to the bentonite for its high sorption capacity against cationic heavy metal. To consider the constituents of barrier possibly used, the specimens were mixed with different material contents (fly ash : weathered soil : bentonite), then sorption test was performed. Also the specimens were molded on the wet side of optimum moisture contents like mixing ratio of sorption test and their hydraulic conductivities were measured in flexible-wall permeameters. And to confirm the effect of dissolved cations, the hydraulic conductivity tests were repeated by converting the permeant liquids from water to $Cd^{2+}$ solution. Finally, the Cd-concentration at the effluent was analyzed for 500hrs to compare the effectiveness of each specimen in contaminant retardation. Test results showed that the more the ratio of fly ash increase, the more Kd value increase, and the hydraulic conductivity of weathered soil/bentonite (95:5) mixture was the lowest $(2.9*10^{-8}cm/sec)$, and specimens made of fly ash and fly ash/weathered soil mixtures showed similar hydraulic conductivity. Although the permeant liquid was changed from water to $Cd^{2+}$ solution, the hydraulic conductivity of all specimens except for weathered soil maintained similarly like before. Consequently, the initial breakthrough point of Cd in weathered soil specimen was observed at about 5hrs after the test started while that of fly ash specimens was not observed during the whole test period of 500hrs. The results implied that fly ash had a sufficient retardation capacity against contaminant transport possibly by its high sorption capacity although it showed little effect on the reduction of hydraulic conductivity. Based on the test results, it could be concluded that the fly ash can be possibly used as a suitable barrier material in containment system to attenuate the contaminant transport for its high retardation capacity and for the low cost.

This paper is concerned with experimental investigation of steering performance of a tracked vehicle on extremely soft soil. A tracked vehicle model with principal dimensions of 0.9 m(L)x0.75 m(B)x0.4 m(H) and weight of 167 kg was constructed with a pair of driving chain links, driven by two AC-servo motors. The tracks were configured with detachable grousers with variable span. A deep seabed was simulated by means of a bentonite-water mixture in a soil bin of 6.0 m(L)x3.7 m(B)x0.7 m(H). The turning radii of vehicle and driving torques of motors were measured with respect to experiment variables: steering ratio, driving speed, grouser chevron angle, grouser span, and grouser height. L8 orthogonal table is adopted for DOE (Design of experiment). The effects of experiment variables on steering performance are evaluated.

본 연구에서는 기존 차수재가 수분과의 팽윤성을 갖는 특징을 개선하기 위해 모래, 칼슘-벤토나이트 및 겔화제 혼합물의 트리클로로에틸렌(TCE) 반응에 따른 투수 특성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 연구 재료의 기본적인 특성 분석, 투수시험을 진행하였다. 투수계수는 칼슘-벤토나이트 혼합 비율이 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 겔화제 혼합 비율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 칼슘-벤토나이트 15%, 겔화제 30% 이상 혼합 시 지하수 유동에서의 투수계수는 α × 10^-4 cm/sec 이상으로 분석되어 지하수 유동을 차단하지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 TCE 반응 시 혼합차수물의 투수계수는 α × 10^-7 cm/sec 이하로 분석되어, 차단층 투수계수 조건(1.0 × 10^-6 cm/sec 미만)을 만족하였다. 따라서 칼슘-벤토나이트와 겔화제는 TCE로 오염된 토양 및 지하수에 선택적 투수능 변환 특성을 보이는 차수재로서 활용이 가능하다.

본 연구에서는 폐기물 매립지에서 점토차수재에 대한 폐기물 침출수의 영향에 대해 알아보고자 모래-벤토나이트 혼합토를 사용하여 인장시험, 비중계분석, 균열패턴 관찰을 실시하였다. 인장시험 결과, pH 9의 혼합수를 사용하여 다짐한 공시체의 인장강도는 pH 3, pH6의 혼합수로 다짐한 공시체의 인장강도보다 작게 나타났다. 다시 말해, 인장강도는 높은 pH에서 감소하며 이것은 pH가 증가할수록 면모화현상이 감소하기 때문이다. 또한 비중계분석에서는 pH가 증가할수록 토립자의 침강속도가 느려져 세립자의 함유량이 높게 나타났다. 이것은 pH가 증가함에 따라 점토 입자의 면모구조가 감소하기 때문이며 이러한 경향은 벤토나이트의 함유량이 증가할수록 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 균열패턴 관찰 결과에서도 pH의 영향을 확인할 수 있었다.

To evaluate the tractive performance of tracked trencher on seafloor surface, a new shear stress-displacement empirical model was proposed for saturated soft-plastic soil (SSP model). To validate the SSP model, a test platform, where track segment shear test can be performed in seafloor soil simulacrum (bentonite water mixture), was built. Series shear tests were carried out. Test results indicate that the SSP model can describe the mechanical behavior of track segment with good approximation in seafloor soil simulacrum. Through analyzing the main external forces applied to seafloor tracked trencher during the uniform linear trenching process, a drawbar pull prediction model was deduced with the SSP model. A tracked walking mechanism of the seafloor tracked trencher prototype was built, and verification tests were carried out. Test results indicate that this prediction model was feasible and effective; moreover, from another side, this conclusion also proved that the SSP model was effective.

This study deals with the development of the extended Kalman filter(EKF) algorithm for the localization of underwater mining vehicles. Both simulation and experimental studies in a test bed are carried out. For the experiments, a scale dawn tracked vehicle is run in a soil bin containing cohesive soil of bentonite-water mixture. To develop the EKF algorithm, we use a kinematic model including the inner/outer track slips and the slip angle for the vehicle. The measurements include the inner and outer wheel speeds from encoders, the heading angle from a compass sensor and a fiber optic rate gyro, and x and y coordinate position values from a vision system. The vision sensor replaces the LBL(Long Base Line) sonar system used in the real underwater positioning situations. Artificial noise signals mimicking the real LBL noise signal are added to the vision sensor information. To know the mean slip values of the tracks in both straight and cornering maneuver, several trial running experiments are executed before applying the EKF algorithm. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the EKF algorithm in rejecting the sensor measurements noise. Also, the simulation and experimental results show close correlations.

Measuring the ground speed and the rotation speeds of tracks is an easy and realistic method to detect the track slips. It is very advantageous if the slips can be measured and applied to real time control of the vehicle. With a proper speed, the tractive force of a tracked vehicle may be calculated from the vehicle dynamics. For the control of tracked vehicle, the relationship between the slip and the tractive force is necessary. In this paper, a series of drawbar-pull tests, in which slips of two tracks are measured under the variational draw-bar weight, is executed to directly obtain the slip-tractive force relationship. For the purpose of the test, a tractive vehicle model was manufactured, and an artificial soil was simulated by using a bentonite-water mixture.
