The construction of waste landfill sites has been increased due to recent expansion of various waste. Geotextiles are widely used for the purpose of reinforcement and protection of waste inside the landfill. Geotextile affects the shear behavior of waste landfill which forms the contact surface with soil. In this study, the effect of acidic and alkaline components in leachate has been analyzed through the laboratory experiment on the shear stress reduction of the contact surface of ground-geotextile under the cyclic load. For this purpose, a dynamic contact surface shear tester has been manufactured, and cyclic simple shear tests have been performed using geotextile and soil specimen which were immersed in chemical solutions for 60 and 840 days, respectively. Based on the Disturbed State Concept, the characteristics of shear stress on the contact surface of ground-geotextile due to chemical factors have been identified by the disturbance function.

Nowadays, geosynthetics for reinforcement and protection are widely applied to the waste landfill site. Current research indicates the potential for progressive failure in geosynthetic-soil system depends on the interface shear strength governed by several intrinsic factors such as moisture, normal stress, chemical, etc. In particular, the effect of the acidity and basicity from the leachate is intensively reviewed to assess the chemical reaction mechanism of interface shear strength under the cyclic loading condition. New multi-purpose interface apparatus(M-PIA) has been manufactured and the cyclic direct shear tests using submerged geosynthetics and soils under the different chemical conditions have been performed, consequently, the thickness of interface and shear stress degradation are verified. The basic schematic of the Disturbed State Concept(DSC) is employed to estimate the shear stress degradation in the interface, then, normalized disturbed function is obtained and analyzed to describe the shear stress degradation of geosynthetic-soil interface with chemical influence factors under dynamic condition.

We have studied specific properties of magnetic treated water as processing water will make different cookery form the case of piped tap water. The result is as follows; The magnetic treated water both from tap water and pure water became more alkaline than not-magnetic treated water in pH change. As time goes on, magnetic treated or not, pH reduced considerably in piped tap water and increased in pure water. The magnetic treated water showed higher hydration rate than piped tap water in hydration of dried food. According to time, difference of hydration between tap water group and magnetic-treatment water group became significantly. Surface tension of magnetic treated water was slightly lower than that of piped tap water. And it reduced considerably with time. The magnetic treated water showed significantly effective outflow of salt especially in initial phase of soaking in salt-in food.

Pasting gelatinization of acorn flours which were prepared with soaked nut and sediment at 7.8$^{\circ}C$ for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 days were investigated. The peak temperature of gelatinization of untreated acorn flour (0-0) by Rapid Visco Analyzer was 73.1$^{\circ}C$, respectively, but those of flours were decreased by soaking. Peak viscosity, setback and breakdown of acorn flours were increased by soaking. In addition, consistency was increased by soaking treatment. From the result of the pasting properties, gel formation ability of acorn flour was increased with increasing soaking days of acorn nut and soaking times of sediment. The gelatinization temperature examined by X-ray diffractometry was lowered with increasing of soaking days. The observation of microstructure through a scanning electron microscope revealed that gelatinized acorn flour showed loser their original shape and structure than that of with out soaking treatment (0-0). The degree of gelatinization under the fixed temperature increased with increasing soaking days. From these results, it might be concluded that the increase of soaking days and soaking times is the factor affecting the gelatinization of acorn flour.

This research has focused on identifying a significant cause of the pavement cracks and irregularities of roads in Changwon city which have been constructed using steel slag, an auxiliary-based material. It is important to note that the cracks and irregularities yield logistics inconvenience, the risk of traffic accidents, and increased road maintenance costs. X-ray diffraction analysis tests have been conducted in this study on the sample collected by pavement cutting and excavating the three target roads. It is well known that the primary cause of the expansion of steelmaking slag is the hydration reaction between CaO and MaO. While the reaction of CaO is completed within a few months, that of MgO is pretty slow depending on the firing temperature. The test results reveal that the MgO content of the testing samples is approximately 47% of the total average, and that of CaO is around 14% of the total average. Hence, these results make it possible to be understood that the expansion induced by the slow hydration reaction of MgO results in road uplift in the long term, resulting in the cracks and irregularities of roads.

An automated ultrasonic flaw detection system was developed for thin-walled and short tubes such as Zircaloy-4 tubes used for cladding heavy-water reactor fuel. The system was based on the two channels immersion pulse-echo technique using 14 MHz shear wave and the specially developed helical scanning technique, in which the tube to be tested is only rotated and the small water tank with spherical focus ultrasonic transducers is translated along the tube length. The optimum angle of incidence of ultrasonic beam was 26 degrees, at which the inside and outside surface defects with the same size and direction could be detected with the same sensitivity. The maximum permissible defects in the Zircaloy-4 tubes, i.e., the longitudinal and circumferential v notches with the length of 0.76mm and 0.38mm, respectively and the depth of 0.04 mm on the inside and outside surface, could be easily detected by the system with the inspection speed of about 1 m/min and the very excellent reproducibility. The ratio of signal to noise was greater than 20 dB for the longitudinal defects and 12 dB for the circumferential defects.

Large scale direct shear tests were carried out to analyze the shear behavior of crushed rocks at local representative quarries. Shear strength for each specimen was derived and the effects on shear behavior induced by the variation of factors such as particle size, water immersion, density, uniformity coefficient, and particle breakage were evaluated and quantitatively compared with previous studies. The opportunity was also taken to identify stress-dilatancy relation of crushed rocks following the energy-based theory and friction coefficients at critical state as well as peak friction angles and dilation angles were estimated. As a result of tests it was found that uniaxial compressive strength and particle breakage of the parent rocks have crucial effect on internal friction angles; in addition, dilatancy at the failure showed strong relationship as well.

The supply of high quality filling materials for pavement base course or reclamation is getting harder. So, there is an attempt to use soft mudstones as an earth filling material in Pohang area. But the engineering properties of the soil deposit placed with soft mudstones have not been clearly evaluated yet. We investigated the water absorption and softening, the slaking behavior and the geological mechanism in order to obtain an effective way of estimating the magnitude of land subsidence and the reduction of soil strength. The applicability of soft mudstones is examined by a variety of laboratory tests and pilot-scale field tests. In addition, it is necessary to consider the environmental characteristics of soft mudstones as a reclaiming material, Consequently, the results from the current study can be used to prevent any construction defects due to the careless use of soft mudstones for the pavement base course or reclamation.

enistein (G), and daidzein (D), the major isoflavones, were analyzed in 14 varieties of Korean soybean and various processed soybean products by using high performance liquid chromatography. Isoflavone contents (G+D) were greatly variable among varieties ranged from 308.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g to 1,134.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g and highest in Danyopkong and Jinpumkong. Among hypocotyl, cotyledon and hull of soybean the concentration of the isoflavone (G+D) in the hypocotyl was highest ranged from 2,971.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g to 5,704.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g. The distributions of genistein and daidzein were also different in hypocotyl, cotyledon and hull. Higher ratio of daidzein to genistein (D/G) was found in the hypocotyl (4-12) compared to cotyledon and hull (0.1-4). Isoflavone (G+D) contents of soymilks (Sinpaldal#2, Eunhakong) prepared at 16 hour hydration were decreased to 1.1-1.2 times compared with that at 8 hour hydration. Commercial soymilks contained much lower isoflavone (G+D) than laboratory soymilks. Soybean curd (Eunhakong) prepared with MgCl$_2$ showed higher isoflavone (G+D) contents than that with CaSO$_4$. But these values of two different soybean curds made at laboratory were similar to those of 3 commercial curds. The concentration of the isoflavones in soybean sprout separated with 3 parts revealed highest in the head and lowest in the stem. Compared with non-fermented soybean foods the fermented soybean produfts, Kochujang and soybean paste, Duen Jang, showed very low contents of isoflavone (G+D),2.8-3.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ｇ, 35.9-63.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ｇrespectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the strength of lime soil mixtures for varied' curing temperatures(20, 30, 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$) and lime content (3, 6, 9, 12%) in four lime-stabilized soils(KY : Sand, MH : Sand, SS: Sandy loam. JJ : Loam). The experimental results obtained from unconfined compressive strength tests are as follows; 1. The optimum moisture content increased and maximum dry density decreased with the increase of the lime content. 2. The lime content for the maximum strength of SS and JJ soils showed at the 9 percent lime content, but KY and MH soils didn't show the tendency of increase and decrease by the lime content and curing period. The rate of decrease of the soaked unconfined compressive strength showed the lower value in accordance with lime content. 3. According to increase in curing temperatures in curing temperatures at 30, 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$, the unconfined compressive strength of lime soil mixtures increased, the rate of increase initially increased at a rapid rate, and showed that around 120 hours were sufficient curing time to complete hardening. 4. The average maximum temperature of Korea being around $30^{\circ}C$ from July to August, thus these months are ideal construction periods to increase the strehgth of lime soil mixtures. 5. Accelerated curing times equivalent to 28-day normal curing decreased in accordance with the increase of curing temperature, and showed shorter in lime soil mixtures than soil cement. 6. Accelerated curing times versus normal curing times are formed as a linear, its slope decreased in accordance with the increase of curing temperature, it may be expressed as follows: (1). $30^{\circ}C$ : t=2.63d-1.4(r=0.99) (2). $40^{\circ}C$ : t= 1.76d-0.8(r=0.97) (3). $50^{\circ}C$ : t=1.35d-3.2(r=0.94) (4). $60^{\circ}C$ : t=0.49d+1.8(r=0.91) in which t ; Accelerated curing time d ; Normal curing time.
