The undrained creep tests with isotropically and anisotropically overconsolidated clays were performed to investigate the effects of anisotropic consolidation on the undrained creep rupture behavior. Results of tests showed that the undrained creep rupture behaviors were iuluenced significantly by stress history including overconsolidation ratio and consolidation pressure ratio$(\sigma_{3c}/\sigma_{le})$. That is. the creep strength of clay increases with the increase of both overconsolidation ratio and consolidation pressure ratio. It, therefore, is dangerous to decide the possibility of creep rupture of clay by the isotropically consolidated creep rupture test in the case of the coefficient of earth pressure lower than 1.0. And the creep strength of clay could be obtained by the equation of the upper yield strength suggested by Finn and Shead(1973) irrespective of both overconsolidation ratio and consolidation pressure ratio.

Cytological characteristics of Abeliophyllum distichum (Oleaceae), endemic to Korea, was examined. Somatic chromosome numbers was 2n = 28 which corresponds to diploid based on x=14. Chromosome length was varied continuously from $1.00{\mu}m$ to $2.03{\mu}m$. Karyotype of Abeliophyllum distichum was investigated in this study for the first time. The cytological characteristics including basic chromosome number, continuous variation of chromosome length, diploid and karyotype were similar to those of the genus Forsythia, which indicated the close relationship between Abeliophyllum and Forsythia, and consequently the two genera seemed to be included to same tribe.

This paper aims at investigating the characteristics of discharge capacity according to lateral pressure, hydraulic gradient and deformation of drain materials. A series of experiments were conducted to achieve this objective. In experiments, fiver drain boards as well as harmonica and castle types of drain boards were installed in a rubber membrane, and clay in sully was filled around them. The test results showed that the harmonica type of drain boards have the greatest discharge capacity comparing to castle and fiber drain boards. The results also indicated that the hydraulic gradient has more effect on reduction of discharge capacity than the lateral pressure.

To evaluate the effect of trapped air bubbles in horizontal drains on discharge capacity, unsaturated discharge capacity tests are carried out for four types of drains selected according to the size of section as well as the shape of core. Unsaturated discharge capacities with the elapse of time, the increase of confining pressures, and hydraulic gradients are examined and are compared with saturated discharge capacities. It is found that the unsaturated discharge capacities at a hydraulic gradient of 0.01 decreased by 17%~80% due to the remained air bubbles in the drains compared with the saturated discharge capacities. It is caused by the fact that the horizontal direction of water flow is not consistent with the direction of movement of floating air bubbles in case of horizontal drains. Especially, far the drain with filament shaped core, discharge capacities decreased significantly due to the difficulty in removing air bubbles.

This paper was to examine the causes of steep slope failure during the season of heavy rainfall. For the purpose, the paper carefully analyzed the sites of steep slope failure, which happened in July 2009. The direct cause of steep slope failure was much related to heavy rainfall during summer. The paper continued to verify that additional causes include the malfunction of diverse waterways, the slope design without considering weathering soils and related characteristics, the lack of the waterway size, the intrusion of plant roots, the reinforced technique without considering slope conditions, etc.

하천의 생태계는 다양한 이화학적 및 생물학적 요인들에 의해 많은 영향을 받으며 그 중 수온은 수질 및 수생태계에 지대한 영향을 미치는 인자라고 할 수 있다. 하천의 수온은 인간의 활동과 도시화에 의해 인위적인 교란을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수온변화의 원인 중 자연에서 취수한 물에 인위적으로 열에너지를 첨가하여 수온이 높은 상태에서 다시 자연으로 방류하여 문제가 되고 있는 온배수에 초점을 맞춰 분석을 시행하고자 한다. 온배수는 하류 하천의 수질 및 그곳에 서식하는 생물들의 서식처와 같은 다양한 수환경에 직접적으로 변화를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 하천 생태계의 보호를 위한 방류수 수온의 관리를 위해서는 변화된 수온의 영향 범위를 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 방류되는 온배수의 평균 수온과 기존 하천 수온의 온도차를 이용해 물질수지식과 3차원 모형인 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code)를 활용하여 방류수로 인한 하류 하천의 수온 변화를 모의하고자 하였다. 또한 적절한 수온의 관리를 위해 방류수 수온 및 유량의 인자를 변화시켜가면서 하류하천의 수온변화 모의를 실시하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 하류 하천에서 서식하는 생물들에 영향을 미치지 않는 방류수의 수온 기준을 제시하는데 중요한 기초자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

SCP is a construction method that maximizes the effects of ground improvement by creating sand piles, which are formed by the compaction within soft ground. SCP is mainly used for consolidation and drain effects in clayey soils, and as a liquefaction countermeasure through effects such as compaction in loose sandy soils. In the design of SCP, if the sand piles with high stiffness are not taken into account, it can become a design that overly considered safety, and increased construction costs are highly likely to cause economic disadvantages. The changes in stress conditions and compaction mechanisms in the subsurface have been identified to a certain extent by study findings to date. However, the studies that considered SCP and in-situ ground as composite ground are fairly limited, and therefore, those studies have not achieved enough results to fully explain the relevant topics. In this study, the ground improved by SCP was regarded as the composite ground that consists of SCP and in-situ ground. Moreover, employing a CID test, this study examined the changes in the stress conditions of in-situ ground according to the installation of SCP through the relations between $K_0$ and SCP replacement ratio. At the same, whether the SCP installation procedure can be recreated in a laboratory was examined using a cyclic triaxial test. According to the test results, the changes in the stress conditions of the original ground occurred most largely in an initial stage of SCP installation, and after a certain time point, the vibration for SCP installation did not have a great influence on the changes in the stress conditions of the ground. Moreover, in order to recreate the behaviors of in-suit ground according to SCP in a laboratory, cyclic loading, which corresponds to casing vibration, was concluded to be essentially required.

The field surveys and the measurements of seawater temperatures were conducted every month from 1997 to 1999, and the distributions of seawater temperature were simulated and reproduced by a three dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model over the southern waters of Cheju island. In order to estimate the marine environmental capacity for the reception of the heat loads of cooling water discharged from Hwasoon Thermal Power Plant(HTPP) in the study area, the simulations for predicting the situation of unfavorable environment in which marine organisms might not be satisfied with change in seawater temperature were peformed using a three dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model by controlling quantitatively the heat loads of cooling water from HTPP Currently, HTPP discharges cooling water of 35.9℃ into the sea as much as 112,800m³/day in summer. As the results of simulations, the more the heat loads from the power plant increase, the more increase the seawater temperatures around the water areas adjacent to the power plant. In case the heat loads of cooling water from HTPP become about 5 times as high as the present loads, seawater temperatures at near-shore waters adjacent to HTPP appear to be increased to the extent of 0.5℃ above the existing seawater temperature in summer. The marine environmental capacity for the reception of thermal discharge from HTPP is estimated to be about 530×10/sup 6/kcal/day which is equivalent to the increase of a factor of 2 in the temperature of cooling water without any change in the discharge rate of cooling water or which is equivalent to the increase of a factor of 4.6 in the discharge rate of cooling water without any change in the temperature of cooling water. Comparing the case of the increase in the discharge rate of cooling water with the case of the increase in the temperature of cooling water on the basis of the same heat loads of 530×10/sup 6/kal/day, the former case is expected to increase seawater temperature a little higher and to extend the area affected by heat loads a little broader.

보통으로 다져진(Dr=50%)실트질 모래의 액상화 후의 비배수정적거동과 이에 대한 압밀응력비의 영향에 관해서 연구하기 위하여 4가지 압밀응력비(σhc'/σVC'=1.0,0.7,0.55,K0)로서 압밀시킨 공시체를 액상화 전후상태에서 비배수 삼축시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 액상화를 경험하지 않은 실트질 모래의 p'-q좌표상의 상전이선과 파괴선은 모두 구속압밀응력과 압밀응력비의 크기에 관계없이 각각 원점을 지나는 하나의 직선으로 나타난다. 또한 상정이전단저항은 구속응력이 클수록 증가하난 동일한 구속응력하에서는 압밀응력비와는 관계없이 거의 동일한 값을 갖는 경향을 나타낸다.
