In this study, model test equipment was developed to evaluate the hydraulic pressure reduction in appling the drainage shield tunnel and the model test for hydraulic pressure difference was performed in case of drainage and undrained conditions. In the result of model test, increase ratio of pore water pressure was decreased in drainage condition and total stress in drainage condition was smaller than that in undrained condition, so the hydraulic pressure was reduced by the groundwater inflow into the model tunnel. In the result of field instrumentation, the hydraulic pressure in the back ground of shield tunnel was small by 11~22% in comparison with the calculated hydraulic pressure ($r_w{\cdot}H$) in same groundwater level. In the result of model test and field instrumentation, it was appeared in drainage and undrained conditions that the difference between the theoretical hydraulic pressure and the real hydraulic pressure. It shows that it is possible to apply the reduced hydraulic pressure in applying the drainage shield tunnel and to reduce the segment section due to hydraulic pressure reduction.

This work is to study experimentally the measurment of pore air pressure according to rainfall in colluvium model and the characteristics of pore water pressure according to increasement of artesian ground water head. After modeling a geological feature of the Tertiary formation, the experiment was performed about sixty times on three kinds of soil. This experimental results showed the variation of pore water and pore air pressures with time, the change of void ratio and appling pressure head in the nonsaturated soil. It can be also expressed by the final pore water and the air reaction ratios and then formularizing the relationship between the permeability coefficient and the void ratio. In the results of this experiment, the patterns of the pore water pressure reaction are classified by the step-type and the wave-type, and the time-lag to reach final point of pore water pressure is in order sand, sandy silt and clayey sand.

This study applied a hydraulic rock splitting system equipped with a hybrid packer to the bench-cut method. The hybrid packer system is an improvement of the packer developed in previous studies; it is designed efficiently to reduce vibration and noise during rock excavation by combining the two functions of inducing hydraulic fractures using injection pressure and then expanding and extending them using a rubber packer. Field experiments assessed the efficiency of rock excavation with respect to the injection conditions; the adjusted experimental conditions included the distance from the free surface and the test holes drilled at the top of the slope and the injection settings. Using a separation of 5 m left some unexcavated parts, but using a separation of 1 m left no unexcavated parts. The hydraulic fractures generated by the injection pressure developed generally parallel to the free surface and expanded and extended as the rubber packer expanded, thus facilitating bench-cut excavation. For hydraulic rock splitting to be broadly applicable to bench-cut rock excavation, it is important to accumulate results from many field experiments conducted under varying experimental conditions for various types of rockmass.

This paper reports the results of afield appliance study of the hydraulic well method to prevent embankment seepage, the large-scale embankment experiment and seepage analysis to examine the traits of the seepage pressure. The experimental procedure was focused on the pore pressure after examining the detected value of the pore pressure gage. The inner water levels of hydraulic well were compared with the pore pressure data, which were used to inspect the seepage variations. Two different large-scale experiments were conducted according to the installation points of the hydraulic wells. The decrease in seepage pressure reached a maximum of 37% from the experimental results. The experimental pore pressure results were similar to those of the analyses. In addition, the pore pressure oriented from the water level variations of the hydraulic well showed similar patterns between the experiment and analysis, but if the hydraulic well was deeper, the analyzed water levels were larger than the experimental values.

An improved packer and injection system was developed to improve the efficiency of excavation by hydraulic rock splitting by reducing vibration and noise. Field testing of the system found hydraulic fractures limited in expansion and extension due to the loss of injection pressure by leackage from the cracks, and then the single packer applied to injection hole allowed to produce a sufficient tensile displacement for rock excavation. Numerical analysis based on the field test data could explain the development of cracks in the field experiments.

In this research, model tests have been performed for researching the seepage characteristics in the finite soil slope during the rainfall using a manufactured rainfall simulator. On the basis of the results, it has been analyzed how to change the seepage characteristics due to the duration time of rainfall. We are found that the pore-water pressure was gradually increased as increasing the duration time of rainfall. Specially, at the beginning of rainfall, the pore-water pressure in the middle surface of slope was measured larger than any point. As increasing the duration time of rainfall, the pore-water pressure at the inner part of slope was increased greatly at the collapse due to infiltrating the pore-water within the slope. In the research, it was not easy to get various test results because measuring instruments are high sensitivity and difficult to handle. For the future, the model test results are needed for the various slope angle.

In this research, shaking table tests for three types of gravity quay wall system were performed to analyze the influence of excess pore pressure in backfill soils on the natural frequency of gravity quay wall systems. The elastic modulus of backfill soils was also estimated from the back analyses using the results of the shaking table tests. From the test results, it was observed that as the magnitude of excess pore pressures increased, the natural frequency of the gravity quay wall system decreased and vice versa. The natural frequency was about 44Hz when no excess pore pressure was generated in backfill soils, and decreased to about 16Hz at the pore pressure ratio of 0.55. The elastic modulus of backfill soils reached the constant maximum value when the pore pressure ratio was less than 0.2, and abruptly decreased as the pore pressure ratio became larger than that. The elastic modulus of backfill soils decreased to $10\%$ of the maximum value when the pore pressure ratio was 0.55.

This study was conducted to characterize on the relationships among rainfall intensity, slope angle and pore water pressure in the gneissic weathered soil by landslide laboratory flume tests. Under the several test conditions dependent on rainfall intensity and slope angle, the authors measured pore water pressure, failure and displacement of slope on a regular time interval. According to the test results, the increasing times of pore water pressures have direct proportional trends to the rainfall intensity. The pore water pressure was increased earlier at the head part of slope than the toe part. Compared with the test results of Chae et al(2006), the results of this study explain that the seepage velocity in the gneissic weathered soil is slower than that in the standard sands. It results in faster and ear-lier increase of pore water pressure at the head part of slope due to slow flow of water in the gneissic weathered soil. In case of the relationship between slope angle and pore water pressure, gentle slope angle has faster increase of pore water pressure than steeper slope angle. It is also thought to be due to slow seepage velocity and flow velocity in the gneissic weathered soil.

본 논문에서는 석탄회 매립지반의 액상화 가능성을 평가하기 위해 순수 모래시료와 더불어서 모래시료와 석탄회가 혼합된 모래시료에 대한 일련의 진동삼축실험을 변형률제어 방법으로 수행하였다. 실험결과 진동하중에 의해서 시료 내에 발생하는 간극수압의 크기는 작용하는 전단변형률의 크기에 심각하게 영향을 받고, 작용하는 전단변형률이 지반의 한계전단변형률 보다 작은 경우에는 진동수가 높은 조건에서도 간극수압이 발생하지 않음을 알았다. 또한 전단변형률이 약 0.1%보다 작고 한계전단변형률에 가까운 경우에는 순수 모래시료와 비교하여 본 논문에서 조사한 석탄회 함유율 범위 (10%~30%)의 시료에서 간극수압이 더 크게 발생하였다. 반면에, 전단변형률이 큰 경우에는 순수 모래시료에서 간극수압이 크게 발생하는 추세를 보였다. 반복 전단에 따른 간극수압의 발생량은 전반적으로 석탄회 함유율이 증가할수록 커지는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 해안이나 하천에 인접한 한계지 개발에 있어서 사질토에 석탄회를 혼합 매립하여 지반을 조성하는 경우에 액상화에 대해서 불안정한 지반이 될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

상수도 관망에서의 유량 측정은 유수율을 결정하는 데 있어서 중요한 평가 수단이다. 따라서, 유량 측정을 위해 유량계를 활용하는데, 높은 빈도의 자료를 획득할 수 있는 수압계는 시중에서 저가로 활용 가능하지만, 상수도관망 예산의 상당부분을 차지하고 있는 유량계는 수압계보다 고가에도 낮은 빈도의 자료만을 획득하는 비용 대비 낮은 효율을 가진다. 만약 수압계의 측정자료를 유량자료로 고속전환하는 기술을 개발하면 기존의 유량계보다 적은 비용으로 고빈도의 유량자료를 획득할 수 있다. 상수도 관망에서 수압자료를 유량 자료로 전환하는 기술은 기존 관망에서 유도된 지배방정식에서 임의 관망에서 일련의 유도과정을 거쳐 상하류 단사이 수압과 유량의 관계를 형성하고, 이러한 관계를 활용하여 간단한 저수조-관망-밸브 체제에서 관망 내의 특정지점에서의 시간상 수압자료와 시간상 유량자료의 비를 정의한 다음, 임의의 지점에서 측정된 수압자료를 정의한 비로 나타나는 임피던스 역수를 역푸리에 전환하면 시간상의 유량자료를 획득할 수 있는 원리이다. 이러한 수압-유량 전환기술의 원리를 가지고 개발된 기술의 정확도를 확인하는 과정을 수행하였으며, 이는 전통적 천이류 해석 방법인 특성선 모델로 비교하는 수치해석적인 방법 그리고 실제 설치된 관망을 사용해서 수압을 측정하고, 지정된 지점에서 유량을 정밀측정하여 비교하는 실험적인 방법을 통해 정확도를 비교해봄으로써 개발된 기술을 검증해보고자 한다.
