During excavation work for the construction of a highway bridge in a limestone area in Korea, several cavities were found, and construction work was stopped temporarily. Cavities under the bridge piers might seriously threaten the safety of the planned bridge, because they could lead to excessive subsidence and differential settlement of the pier foundations. In order to establish a method for reinforcement of the pier foundations, borehole radar reflection and tomography surveys were carried out, to locate cavities under the planned pier locations and to determine their sizes where they exist. Since travel time data from the crosshole radar survey showed anisotropy, we applied an anisotropic tomography inversion algorithm assuming heterogeneous elliptic anisotropy, in order to reconstruct three kinds of tomograms: tomograms of maximum and minimum velocities, and of the direction of the symmetry axis. The distribution of maximum velocity matched core logging results better than that of the minimum velocity. The degree of anisotropy, defined by the normalized difference between maximum and minimum velocities, was helpful in deciding whether an anomalous zone in a tomogram was a cavity or not. By careful examination of borehole radar reflection and tomography images, the spatial distributions of cavities were delineated, and most of them were interpreted as being filled with clay and/or water. All the interpretation results implied that two faults imaged clearly by a DC resistivity survey were among the most important factors controlling the groundwater movement in the survey area, and therefore were closely related to the development of cavities. The method of reinforcement of the pier foundations was based on the interpretation results, and the results were confirmed when construction work was resumed.

토목구조물의 내진설계등에 필요한 탄성 계수중의 하나인 S파 속도의 측정을 위해서 통상적으로 시추공을 이용한 downhole 시험이나 crosshole 시험 또는 검층 조사를 실시하여 왔다. SASW(Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves, 주파수영역 표면파해석)기법은 이러한 공내 시험법들의 한계를 극복한 것으로서 지표면에서 표면파의 측정을 통해 지표 아래의 전단 강성 주상도를 추정하는 비파괴, 비관입 시험방법이다. 본 논문에서는 SASW기법의 원리를 간략히 언급하고 현장적용 가능성 파악을 위하여 여러 현장에서 수행한 SASW실험 결과를 요약하였다. 인천국제공항 현장에서의 동다짐 효과 판정, 마북리 시험터널의 라이닝 및 배면 암반 상태 파악, 콘크리트 옹벽의 두께 파악을 위하여 SASW기법을 성공적으로 활용하였으며 비파괴적, 경제적인 특징으로 인하여 그 외 다양한 분야에서도 SASW기법이 응용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

Land creeping is the imperceptibly slow, steady, downward movement o f slope-forming soil or rock. Because creep-related failures occur frequently on a large scale without notice, they can be hazardous to both property and human life. Korea Forest Service has operated the prevention and response system from land creeping which has been on the rise since 2018. We categorized and proposed three survey steps (e.g., preliminary, regional, detailed) for investigation of creeping susceptibility site with a focus on geophysical mapping of a selected test site, Yongheung-dong, Pohang, Korea. The combination of geophysical (dipole-dipole electrical resistivity tomography and reciprocal seismic refraction technique, well-logging), geotechnical studies (standard penetrating test, laboratory tests), field mapping (tension cracks, uplift, fault), and comprehensive interpretation of their results provided the reliable information of the subsurface structures including the failure surface. To further investigate the subsurface structure including the sliding zone, we performed high-resolution geophysical mapping in addition to the regional survey. High-resolution seismic velocity structures are employed for stability analysis because they provided more simplified layers of weathering rock, soft rock, and hard rock. Curved slip plane of the land creeping is effectively delineated with a shape of downslope sliding and upward pushing at the apex of high resistive bedrock in high-resolution electrical resistivity model with clay-mineral contents taken into account. Proposed survey steps and comprehensive interpretation schemes of the results from geological, geophysical, and geotechnical data should be effective for data sets collected in a similar environment to land-creeping susceptibility area.

The drag reduction(DR) of non-ionic surfactant and polymer according to the variation of fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration was investigated experimentally. For this experiment, the kind of surfactant was non ionic amine-oxide and the kinds of polymer were polyacrylamide and xantan gum. An experimental apparatus equipped with one water storage tanks was built and two flow meters, two pressure gauges for data logging system was installed. Results showed that the kinds of polymer, polyacrylamide and xantan gum, had DR of below 20% for below 500 ppm in fluid temperature of $50{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. But the kind of surfactant, amine oxide, had DR of above 40% for 500~1000 ppm in fluid temperature of $50{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. As a result, amin oxide showed better materials to use to the district heating system.

The drag reduction (DR) and heat transfer efficiency reduction (ER) of non-ionic surfactant were investigated as a function of fluid velocity, temperature, and surfactant concentration. An experimental apparatus consisting of two temperature controlled water storage tanks, pumps, test specimen pipe and the piping network, two flow meters, two pressure gauges, a heat exchanger, and data logging system was built. From the experimental results, it was concluded that existing alkyl ammonium surfactant (CTAC Cethyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride) had DR of $0.6{\sim}0.8$ at $1,000{\sim}2,000ppm$ concentration with fluid temperature ranging between $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. However, the DR was very low when the fluid temperature was $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. The new amine oxide and betaine surfactant(SAOB Stearyl Amine Oxide + Betaine) had lower DR at fluid temperatures ranging between $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ compared with CTAC. However, with fluid temperature ranging between $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ the DR was $0.6{\sim}0.8$ when the concentration level was $1,000{\sim}2,000ppm$.

This paper describes the results of an investigation into high mass-low velocity impact behaviour of reinforced concrete beams. Tests have been conducted on fifteen 2.7 m or 1.5 m span beams under drop-weight loads. A high-speed video camera has been used at rates of up to 4,500 frames per second in order to record the crack formation, propagation, particle spallation and scabbing. In some tests the strain in the reinforcement has been recorded using "Durham" strain gauged bars, a technique developed by Scott and Marchand (2000) in which the strain gauges are embedded in the bars, so that the strains in the reinforcement can be recorded without affecting the bond between the concrete and the reinforcement. The impact force acting on the beams has been measured using a load cell placed within the impactor. A high-speed data logging system has been used to record the impact load, strains, accelerations, etc., so that time histories can be obtained. This research has led to the development of computational techniques based on combined continuum/discontinuum methods (finite/discrete element methods) to permit the simulation of impact loaded reinforced concrete beams. The implementation has been within the software package ELFEN (2004). Beams, similar to those tested, have been analysed using ELFEN a good agreement has been obtained for both the load-time histories and the crack patterns.

The drag reduction (DR) and heat transfer efficiency reduction (HTER) of nonionic surfactant according to the fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration were investigated experimentally. For this study, several kinds of new surfactant which contains amine-oxide and betaine were developed. And experimental apparatus equipped with two water storage tanks temperature controlled, pumps, testing pipe network, two flowmeters, two pressure gauges, heat exchanger, and data logging system was built. Results showed that existing alkyl ammonium surfactant (CTAC) had DR of $0.6{\sim}0.8$ for $1,000{\sim}2,000\;ppm$ in fluid temperature of $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ and had very low DR in fluid temperature over $70^{\circ}C$. And new amino oxide and betaine surfactant (SAOB) had lower DR in fluid temperature of $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ compared with CTAC but in fluid temperature of $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ DR was $0.6{\sim}0.8$ for 1$1,000{\sim}2,000\;ppm$.

Seismic attributes are often used to identify lithology and evaluate reservoir properties. However, interpretation based only on structural attributes and without knowledge of the Vp/Vs ratio can limit the ability to evaluate changes in heavy oil reservoirs. These limitations are often due to less obvious impedance differences. In order to investigate pieces of evidence of a heavy-oil shaly-sand reservoir from seismic data, besides geochemistry, we studied seismic attributes and characterized the reservoir using seismic stack data and well logging data. The study area was the Muglad rift basin in South Sudan. We conducted a seismic complex analysis to evaluate the target reservoir. To delineate the frequency responses of the different lithological units, we applied the spectral decomposition method to the target reservoir. The most unexpected result was continuous bands of strong seismic reflectors in the target reservoir, which extended across the borehole. Spectral decomposition analysis showed that the low-frequency zone of 25 Hz dominant frequency was consistent with instantaneous attributes. This approach can identify lithology, reveal frequency anomalies, and filter the stacked section into low- and high-frequency bands. The heavy-oil reservoir zones exhibited velocity attenuation and the amplitude was strongly frequency dependent.

단극 및 쌍극 음원을 이용하여 S파속도 결정에 큰 영향을 미치는 분산특성을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 동일한 물성을 가지면서 공경을 달리하는 3종류의 시추공모형(${\Phi}520\;mm$. ${\Phi}150\;mm$and ${\Phi}76\;mm$)을 중심으로 이른 분산곡선을 구하고 공경과 공내검층기 존재 유무에 따른 분산 특성의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 분산곡선의 형태는 단극음원에서 시추공 내의 공내검층기 유무에 크게 영향을 받지 않고 비슷하게 나타난 반면에 쌍극음원에서는 공내검층기 유무가 큰 차이를 보였다. 반면에 절단주파수에서는 쌍극음원에 비하여 단극음원에서 공내검층기 유무에 따른 차이가 크며 특히 소구경 시추공에서 큰 차이를 보여 단극음원을 이용한 토목시추공 음파검층에서 주파수 선택이 매우 중요한 변수가 될 수 있음을 보였다. 수치모델링결과, 절단주파수와 시추공경과의 관계는 기존에 알려진 일반적인 반비례 관계보다는 지수함수적으로 감소하는 관계임을 확인하였으며, 분산모드의 종류나 공내검층기 유무에 상관없이 각 환경에 있어서의 절단주파수 값을 지수함수로 표시할 수 있었다. 특정 시추공 환경에서의 분산곡선 및 분산특성들은 과거 연구결과들로부터 비교적 잘 알려져 있지만 분산곡선의 직접 비교에 의하여 분산특성에 미치는 시추공경과 공내측정기 영향을 보다 구체적으로 밝힐 수 있었다.

물리탐사의 대표적인 한계는 위아래 지층의 물성이 크게 차이나지 않을 경우 취득 신호가 작다는 점이다. 이 경우에는 서로 다른 물성에 기인하는 여러 가지 탐사들을 수행하고 그 결과들을 복합적으로 해석하여 그 효율성을 높인다. 레이더 및 고분해능 탄성파반사법 탐사는 천부 지질구조 및 매설 구조물을 신속하고 정확하게 찾아낼 수 있는 방법으로서 각각 유전율 경계면과 속도 경계면을 찾아내는데 효과적이다. 특히 이 연구에서는 전기적인 성질에 크게 반응하는 레이더 이벤트와 탄성적인 성질에 기인하는 탄성파 이벤트를 단일 단면도에 통합적으로 재건하는 기법을 모델링자료를 통해 구축하고 이를 바탕으로 청주 화강암부지의 얕은(3 m) 깊이의 지하수면, 그 하부의 풍화암, 연암 경계면을 효과적으로 파악하였다. 지반 강성에 중요한 인자인 밀림 탄성률(강성률)을 평가하기 위해 검층 자료를 통해 얻은 S파 속도를 여러 채널 S파 분석(MASW)과 공중점 교차상관 기법(CMPCC)에서 나온 값과 비교한 결과, 일반적인 MASW보다 이상대의 정확한 지점과 높은 S/N을 목적으로 고안된 CMPCC을 통해 얻은 속도가 실제 검층 자료에 보다 접근하였다.
