The IIA structures exposed to marine environment is subject to many different types of potential attack. The physical attack due to drying and wetting would increase the internal stress of concrete. The chemical attack resulting from the diffusion of ions$(Cl^-,SO_4^{2-},Mg^+)$ from seawater through the pores in concrete. Therefore the sea water resistance of concrete must be considered when it is used for structure in the ocean. The objective of this study is to evaluate chloride diffusion and corrosion characteristics of concrete when using the various concrete materials under marine environment. After 5 years of exposure, concrete incorporating 40% blast-furnace slag as replacement for type I cement with low w/c ratio of 0.42 and using the inhibitor shows excellent performance.

Early-frost damages easily take place in smaller and thinner walls and slabs. In case of slabs, it is difficult to visually determine the depth of early-frost damage. As such, the current study aims to determine the depth of early-frost damage caused to concrete structures due to bad curing in the winter. As a result, the study found that the depth of early-frost damages increased from the top as the atmospheric temperature on the concrete surface decreased. The changes in the color allowed the observer to easily identify the depth of early-frost damage with the naked eye. In particular, the color difference between potentially damaged parts and undamaged parts were the greatest around thirty minutes of drying after wetting.

The increase of activated carbon contents in fly ashes accelerate the corrosion of steel embedded in ordinary portland cement(OPC) mortar. Cement losses its identity of colour when the % of carbon is increased. More than 60[%] area was rusted when carbon content is increased beyond 8[%] for the exposure period of one year. Comparable corrosion rate with OPC was obtained up to 6[%] carbon level only. The tolerable limit of replacement for various admixed carbon system under aggressive alternate wetting and drying condition with 3[%] NaCl was found to be 6 to 8[%].

이 연구에서는 수심적분된 이차원 비정상 수치모형인 KU-RLMS 모형의 잠김/드러남 기법을 개선하고, 기존의 WAD 기법과 새로 도입한 기법의 정확도 평가를 수행하였다. 기존의 WAD 기법은 수학적으로는 다소 불완전하지만 수치적으로는 손쉬운 방법으로써, 각 시간 단계에서 잠긴 격자 또는 드러난 격자를 시험하고, 각 격자의 경계에서 플럭스에 대한 개폐 조건을 적용하는 방법을 사용하였다. 개선된 기법은 WAD 경계에서의 질량보존을 고려하는 방법이다. 두 가지 잠김/드러남 처리 과정의 정확도 비교는 포물형 수조에 대한 해석해와 수치모형의 결과를 비교하는 방법을 사용하였다. 기존에 WAD 기법은 수치해와 해석해의 위상차가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 진폭은 조금씩 감소하는 현상이 나타났지만, 개선된 기법을 사용할 경우 위상차와 진폭감소 현상이 현저히 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Hwang (2015)은 불연속 지형을 지나는 천수 흐름의 해석에서 흐름률을 정확하게 계산하기 위하여 계단에 의한 흐름 저항이 지배적인 계단 전면과 그 영향이 비교적 덜한 계단의 윗부분을 구분하여 접근하는 새로운 기법을 제안하였으며, 모의 결과를 정확해 및 실험실 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 전면 및 후면 계단을 지나는 댐 붕괴 흐름에 대한 실험(Kim et al., 2014)에 적용하여 기존 모형에 비해 새로운 기법에 의한 결과가 보다 우수함을 확인하였다(Hwang, 2016). Kim et al. (2015)은 좌안에 옹벽이 설치된 직선 수로에서 댐 붕괴 흐름에 대한 실험을 수행한 바 있다. 이 연구에서는 Kim et al.

천수 흐름에 대한 수치해석에서 매우 작은 수심의 발생은 해가 불안정해지는 주요 원인 중 하나이며, 경사면이 잠기고 드러나는 그 전선에서 그 현상은 더욱 두드러질 수 있다. 특히, 지배 방정식이 보존형으로 기술되는 경우, 흐름률이나 생성항의 계산에서 수심에 의한 나눗셈이 불가피하므로 보존변수를 정확하게 계산하는 것이 해의 안정성을 도모하기 위한 관건이 된다. 이러한 기대에 부응할 수 있는 수치해법으로 흐름률을 정확한 계산할 수 있는 Riemann 해법을 들 수 있다. 또한, 생성항을 정확하게 계산할 수 있도록 계산 격자를 적절하게 구성하고 그 격자가 완전히 잠기지 않을 경우에 대해 물리적으로 타당하게 처리할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서는 흐름률의 계산에 근사 Riemann 해법을 적용하여 포물면 지형을 지나는 천수 흐름에 대해 모의하였다. 1981년에 W. C. Thacker는 회전 포물면 위의 천수 문제에 대해 천수방정식의 정확해를 처음으로 유도하였다. 이 문제는 지형의 잠김과 드러남이 다수의 계산 격자에서 지속적으로 이루어지기 때문에 천수흐름의 수치 모의에서 극도로 혹독한 조건의 시험으로 알려져 있다. 회전 포물면 위의 천수 문제에 대해 근사 Riemann 해법에 따른 자료의 재구축 방법, 잠김과 드러남의 처리 등에 대해 검토하였다.

Cracks in soil provide significant preferential pathways for contaminant transport and rainfall infiltration. Water exchange between the soil matrix and crack is crucial to characterize the preferential flow, which is often quantitatively described by a water exchange ratio. The water exchange ratio is defined as the amount of water flowing from the crack into the clay matrix per unit time. Most of the previous studies on the water exchange ratio mainly focused on cracked sandy soils. The water exchange between cracks and clay matrix were rarely studied mainly due to two reasons: (1) Cracks open upon drying and close upon wetting. The deformable cracks lead to a dynamic change in the water exchange ratio. (2) The aperture of desiccation crack in clay is narrow (generally 0.5 mm to 5 mm) which is difficult to model in experiments. This study will investigate the water exchange between a deformable crack and the clay matrix using a newly developed experimental apparatus. An artificial crack with small aperture was first fabricated in clay without disturbing the clay matrix. Water content sensors and suction sensors were instrumented at different places of the cracked clay to monitor the water content and suction changes. Results showed that the water exchange ratio was relatively large at the initial stage and decreased with the increasing water content in clay matrix. The water exchange ratio increased with increasing crack apertures and approached the largest value when the clay was compacted at the water content to the optimal water content. The effective hydraulic conductivity of the crack-clay matrix interface was about one order of magnitude larger than that of saturated soil matrix.

Using cement as a road subbase is economical, easily modified and supplemented and has excellent road pavement quality control. In addition, cement adheres well to sandy soils without adhesion, and it plays a role of permanently preserving adhesion in viscous soils with adhesion, so it can be widely applied as stable treatment with the advantages of increased strength, reduced compressibility. and improved durability. However, while cement is excellent in terms of strength for a road subbase, the material properties mean that it is difficult to maintain and reinforce when cracks or fractures occur due to dry shrinkage, and the pH increases in the ground due to hexavalent chromium eluting from cement. which can cause environmental problems such as groundwater contamination. Therefore, this study evaluates the usability of alternatives in the road base layer such as environmentally cementitious stabilizer and on-site soil generated from the site. We intend to reduce the environmental damage and evaluate the durability. To evaluate the applicability of the site, Environmental stability test and freeze-thaw test and wetting-drying test was conducted to evaluate the strength characteristics of alternative materials on the road through the limited performance evaluation of environmentally cementitious stabilizer. The test ranges were set at mixing ratios of 10%, 20%, and 30% and ages of three days, and 28 days old to evaluate the early strength and reference strength according to the mixing ratio of the environmentally cementitious stabilizer.

The purpose of this study is to measure the volumetric water content of unsaturated soils during drying and wetting process by using volumetric pressure plate extractor (VPPE) incorporated with time domain reflectometry (TDR). The VPPE consists of a pressure cell, a pressure regulator, a burette system and a TDR probe. Two samples with different initial void ratios were prepared in the pressure cell, and the air pressure at the range of 0.1 kPa - 50 kPa was applied to adjust the matric suction by the pressure regulator. The burette system was used to measure the volumetric water content change of the sample according to the matric suction. In addition, the TDR probe, installed in the cell, was used to evaluate the dielectric constant from the reflected signal of the electromagnetic wave at the probe. The volumetric water content of specimen was estimated by the empirical equation between the volumetric water content and dielectric constant, which was calibrated with the Jumunjin sand. The test results show that the volumetric water content calculated by TDR probe is strongly correlated to the measured value by burette system. The hysteresis occurs during drying and wetting process. Furthermore, the degree of hysteresis reduces in the repeated process. This study suggests that TDR may be effectively used to evaluate the water content soil for the determination of water characteristic curve of unsaturated soils.
