Near infrared heating as an alternative to the conventional heating techniques for thermography -NDT is tried in this paper. A concrete specimen containing a defect was heated by the near infrared ray and the thermography-NDT technique was applied. Using a dimensinless temperature, the defects were detected. It was found that the near infrared ray could efficiently heat up the concrete specimen compared to others conventional methods like lamps, heat flow, etc.

Gas hydrate dissociation can generate large amounts of gas and water in gas hydrate bearing sediments, which may eventually escape from a soil skeleton and form voids within the sediments. The loss of fine particles between coarse particles or collapse of cementation due to water flow during heavy or continuous rainfall may form large voids within soil structure. In this study, the effect of void formation resulting from gas hydrate dissociation or loss of some particles within soil structure on the strength of soil is examined. Glass beads with uniform gradation were used to simulate a gas hydrate bearing or washable soil structure. Glass beads were mixed with 2% cement ratio and 7% water content and then compacted into a cylindrical sample with five equal layers. Empty capsules for medicine are used to mimic large voids, which are bigger than soil particle, and embedded into the middle of five equal layers. The number, direction, and length of capsules embedded into each layer vary. After two days curing, a series of unconfined compression tests is performed on the capsule-embedded cemented glass beads. Unconfined compressive strength of cemented glass beads with capsules depends on the volume, direction and length of capsules. The volume and cross section formed by voids are most important factors in strength. An unconfined compressive strength of a specimen with large voids decreases up to 35% of a specimen without void. The results of this study can be used to predict the strength degradation of gas hydrate bearing sediments in the long term after dissociation and loss of fine particles within soil structure.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the mixture ratio of soil amendments blended with coco peat (Coco) and American soldier fly cast (SFC) on the physicochemical properties on the sand green. pH and EC of soil were significantly related to mixture ratio of SFC, Mix1, Mix2 and Mix3. Capillary porosity, air-capillary porosity and total porosity of root zone mixed SFC, Coco, Mix1, Mix2 and Mix3 were met to the USGA green specification. The mixture ratios of Mix1 and Mix2 in root zone were positively related capillary porosity and total porosity, and air-capillary porosity was negatively related capillary porosity and hydraulic conductivity. Capillary porosity of Mix1, Mix2 and Mix3 blended SFC and Coco was affected by SFC and Coco, and total porosity by Coco. These results showed that soil amendments blended SFC and Coco was developed capillary porosity and hydraulic conductivity on the USGA sand green than these of SFC.

Geotechnical Phenomena such as landslide, groundwater recharge and groundwater fluctuation due to rainfall can be explain to use a dielectric response and infiltration variation by the movement of a wetting front in the subsurface. The infiltration of a wetting front is infiltrating to the connected pores which are distributed in unsaturated soil. In this study we carried out to laboratory experiment of a vertical infiltration column test using ethanol mix-ing tracer which has same the specific gravity of water. All physical values are detected to use a variation of dielectric constant and calculated to use a dielectric mixing model and tracer test model. This dielectric method measured by each dielectric constant of geological soil porous materials should be of for the geotechnical information and useful a field monitoring technique for detecting the variations of the volumetric water content and the wetting front, which are insignificant the key parameter to understanding the landslide by rainfall.

This paper describes the physical properties of the factors controlling the electrical resistivity of the subsurface. Resistivities of various types of soil and rock samples saturated with sodium chloride solutions having nine different concentrations were measured, and the measured resistivities of these samples were compared with calculated resistivities obtained using the conventional empirical formulas. From the results obtained, we observed that the resistivity of the soil and rock samples increases with increasing in pore-fluids resistivity regardless of the media type. However, between 20 and 200 ohm-m, which is the normal range of resistivity of groundwater, the resistivity of the pore-fluids have little or no effect on the resistivities of the samples used. Below 10 ohm-m, the resistivities of the samples are mainly controlled by the pore-fluids, whereas, in the normal range of resistivity of groundwater, the sample resistivities are controlled by their intrinsic matrix resistivity more than by the pore-fluids resistivity. Also, the measured resistivity of rock and soil samples having more than $20\%$ clay contents showed a good agreement with the calculated resistivity using the parallel resistance model whereas, the calculated resistivities of glass beads correlate with that obtained using Archie's formula. When the pore-fluid resistivity is high, the computation of the resistivity values of the samples using the Archie's formula could not be carried out. Through this study, we were able to confirm that the tests are only applicable to the parallel resistance model considering the intrinsic matrix resistivity within the normal resistivity range of groundwater in the subsurface.

Visual MODFLOW 프로그램 내 MT3D 패키지를 이용하여 다공 추적자 시험 해석 모델을 제시하였으며, 개념모델을 설정하여 추적자 해석 모델 모사 시 입력상수인 수리전도도(K), 비산출률$(S_y)$, 유효공극률$(n_e)$, 종분산지수$({\alpha}_L)$ 및 횡분산지수$({\alpha}_T)$ 등에 따른 민감도를 분석하였다. 또한, 이를 이용하여 부산과 이천지역의 현장 추적자 시험 자료를 해석하였다. 민감도 분석 결과, 유효공극률과 종분산지수의 민감도가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 비산출률의 민감도가 가장 작게 나타났다. 유효공극률은 관측정에서 측정되는 추적자의 최고농도를 결정하는 인자이며, 종분산지수는 추적자 최고농도가 되는 경과시간과 관계가 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 재순환 추적자 시험 해석 모델을 적용한 부산지역의 경우 유효공극률은 0.15, 종분산지수는 5m인 것으로 모사되었으며, 수렴 흐름 추적자 시험 해석 모델을 적용한 이천지역의 경우 유효공극률은 0.01, 종분산지수는 13m로 산정되었다.

In geological $CO_2$ sequestration, the behavior of $CO_2$ within a reservoir can be characterized as two-phase flow in a porous media. For two phase flow, these processes include drainage, when a wetting fluid is displaced by a non-wetting fluid and imbibition, when a non-wetting fluid is displaced by a wetting fluid. In $CO_2$ sequestration, an understanding of drainage and imbibition processes and the resulting NW phase residual trapping are of critical importance to evaluate the impacts and efficiencies of these displacement process. This study aimed to observe migration and residual trapping of immiscible fluids in porous media via cyclic injection of drainage-imbibition. For this purpose, cyclic injection experiments by applying n-hexane and deionized water used as proxy fluid of $scCO_2$ and pore water were conducted in the two dimensional micromodel. The images from experiment were used to estimate the saturation and observed distribution of n-hexane and deionized water over the course drainage-imbibition cycles. Experimental results showed that n-hexane and deionized water are trapped by wettability, capillarity, dead end zone, entrapment and bypassing during $1^{st}$ drainage-imbibition cycle. Also, as cyclic injection proceeds, the flow path is simplified around the main flow path in the micromodel, and the saturation of injection fluid converges to remain constant. Experimental observation results can be used to predict the migration and distribution of $CO_2$ and pore water by reservoir environmental conditions and drainage-imbibition cycles.

일반적으로 사용되는 변압기에 비해 공진형 컨버터의 변압기와 유도급전 시스템에 사용되는 비접촉 변압기의 경우 공극이 아주 크다. 이런 경우, 일반적인 측정 방법으로는 정확한 변압기의 변수를 얻을 수 없다. 하지만 coupled 인덕터 측정 방법을 이용하여 공극이 큰 변압기의 변수를 측정하면 일반적인 변압기 측정 방법에 비해 정확한 변압기 변수를 얻을 수 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 공진탱크를 구현하여 PSpice 시뮬레이션과 임피던스 분석기(PSM1735)의 결과를 비교하여 2가지 측정 방법 중 coupled 인덕터 측정 방법이 정확하게 측정 가능함을 검증하였다.
