본 연구에서는 기후학적 물수지 방법을 적용하여 우리나라 전역에 대한 습윤 및 건조 상황을 모니터링하는 연구를 수향하였다. 이 기후학적 물수지로부터 생성되는 과잉수분량은 유역에서의 지표면 유출 성분을 반영하여 홍수유출의 유추, 치수 구조물의 설치 및 운영에 관한 지표로 활용할 수 있으며, 부족수분량은 가뭄에 대한 정보를 취득할 수 있음을 알 수있었다. 특히 이러한 두가지 지표를 합성하여 얻어지는 습윤지표는 유역의 습윤상황뿐 만 아니라 건조상황까지도 고려할 수 있으며, 이로부터 2001년 실제 가뭄현상에 대한 분석을 실시한 결과 이 습윤지표가 실제 현상을 잘 반영하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 유역의 습윤 및 건조상황 감시를 위하여 NOAA/AVHRR자료에 근거한 증발산량 산정결과를 토대로 지표면의 건습을 평가하였으며, 이러한 위성자료의 이용이 가뭄이 되풀이 되고 있는 우리나라에서 가뭄의 조기경보를 위해 효과적인 도구로서 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Moisture Index time series derived from NOAA/AVHRR data have showed to be useful for humid and arid states. The humid/arid states of the Geum river basin are classified by means of the moisture index estimated from the climatic water budget model. Validations showed that the moisture index has excellent ability to detect humid/arid conditions and to measure time of its onset, intensity and duration. In this study, a simple method to classify the moisture index is proposed by statistical distribution condition. Also, the moisture index is compared with the regional actual state to detect drought area.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effect of cyclic wetting-drying on the compressive strength characteristics of decomposed granite soils. A series of plane strain compression (PSC) tests were performed on test specimens with varying fine contents under different wetting-drying cycles to investigate the change in compressive strength under the process of wetting-drying cycles. The effect of wetting-drying cycles on the structural particle rearrangement at a micro-scale level was also examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests. It was shown that the soil containing larger fines showed more significant decrease in compressive strength compared with the soils with less fines. Also found was that the wetting-drying cycle did not have significant effect on the particle arrangement.

This paper presents the results of a reduced-scale physical model investigation into the behavior of retaining walls subject to cycles of wetting and drying due to rainfall infiltration. Reduced-scale model walls equipped with a water spraying system that can simulate the wetting process were first constructed and a series of tests were conducted with due consideration of different rainfall intensities and backfill soil types. The results indicate that cycles of wetting and drying process have adverse effects on the wall behavior, increasing wall deformation as well as earth pressure acting on the wall, and that the first cycle of wetting and drying process has more pronounced effect on the wall performance than the ensuing cycles. It is also shown that the degree to which the wetting and drying cycles affect the wall behavior depends greatly on the backfill soil type, and that the larger the fine contents, the greater is the effect of cycles of wetting and drying on the wall behavior. Practical implications of the findings from this study are discussed in great detail.

Moisture is one of the important design factors that affects to the changes of physical properties and air permeability in the composting matrix. This study examines the effects of moisture during the wetting and drying procedure on physical properties like bulk density, particle size, free air space and air permeability in the sawdust used as the bulking agent in composting process. During both procedures of wetting and drying of the water, with increasing moisture content, bulk density and particle size increased, but FAS decreased. In the range of near 40 to 60% moisture content on a wet basis, particle size and FAS in wetting procedure were larger and higher than those in drying procedure. During wetting procedure, pressure drop continuously decreased ranging from near 20 to 60% moisture content, despite of decreasing FAS as a consequence of increasing moisture, and then over the range of 60% moisture content, pressure drop rapidly increased to the saturated moisture condition while the pore space was filled with the water. On the other hand, during drying procedure, pressure drop decreased from the saturated condition to 40% moisture content. In the recommended range of 50 to 60% moisture content for composting operation, pressure drop in wetting procedure were lower than in drying procedure. For the enhancement of the air permeability in the composting matrix, the wetting procedure was proper than the drying procedure, and the optimum moisture content for the efficient composting operation was appeared to be near 60%.

최근 지구온난화와 기후변화에 관련된 각종 징후들이 여러 분야에서 주요 화두로 자주등장하고 있다. 이들은 주로 평균기온의 상승이나 강우패턴의 변동 등과 같은 기상학적 특성변화를 중심으로 다루어지고 있는데 이를 수문학적 관점에서 유추해 본다면 물 순환과정(hydrological cycle)내 성분별 거동양상의 변화로 해석할 수 있을 것이다. 유역의 특성을 파악하고 발생할 수 있는 수자원의 양적 불균형에 따른 문제점을 탐지하여 그에 대비하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 신속한 정보의 제공이 우선되어야 한다. 또한 이러한 정보를 이용하여 유역의 습윤 및 건조 상황을 모니터링하거나 예측하기 위해서는 즉각적이고 연속적인 정보의 수집이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기 수행된 연구결과를 바탕으로 기후학적 물수지 방법에 의하여 1998년부터 2004년까지의 금강유역에 대한 습윤지표를 산정하였다. 그러나 습윤지표가 유역의 습윤 혹은 건조상태를 반영한다고 하나 습윤지표에 익숙하지 않은 사용자의 경우 직관적으로 이 지표만을 이용하여 유역의 상황을 판단하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 습윤지표를 통계학적 분포특성에 따라 유역의 습윤 및 건조 상황으로 분류하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 당시 지역적 실제 현상과의 연관성 등을 통하여 가뭄을 평가하는 방법을 제안하고 자 한다.

To investigate the unsaturated characteristics of the Boeun granite weathered soil, matric suction and volumetric water content were measured in both drying and wetting paths using Automated Soil-Water Characteristics Curve Apparatus. Based on the measured results, Soil-Water Characteristics Curve was estimated by van Genuchten (1980) model. The relationship between effective degree of saturation and matric suction showed the non-linear curve with S-shape and the hysteresis phenomenon occurred during drying and wetting paths. Suction Stress Characteristics Curve was estimated by the Lu and Likos (2006) model. The suction stress in drying path was constantly maintained and that in wetting path tended to increase when the effective degree of saturation was low. But the suction stress in drying path was larger than that in wetting path at the same degree of saturation when the effective degree of saturation became larger. Meanwhile, Hydraulic Conductivity Function was evaluated by the van Genuchten (1980) model which is one of the parameter estimation methods. The unsaturated hydraulic conductivity decreased with increasing the matric suction, and the decreasing velocity regarding to the matric suction in drying path was larger than that in wetting path.

Since sediment in a stable state is disturbed during the process from sediment in a natural state to dredged soil, the turbidity of water is not good. When the dredged soil settles again, the volume change in the sediment occurs. Coagulant and flocculant are added for turbidity mitigation of the water and faster settling process of suspended solid, and the amount of the substances affects the characteristics of the dredged soil. This study is to investigate the characteristics of the dredged soil depending on the amount of three chemical products added to the wet dredged soil and the dry dredged soil through measuring the suspended solids (SS), volume change and sedimentation velocity. The experimental measurements show that the SS decreased, the volume change rate increased, and the sedimentation velocity increased, as the chemical amount increased. In addition, it was found that the dry dredged soil reacted even with little quantity of the chemicals because derelict and microorganism are removed due to the drying process at $100{\pm}5^{\circ}C$.

It is assumed to be an efficient method for keeping a germinability of weed seeds as long as possible, if a secondary dormancy is not induced by transferring the seeds of which dormancy was broken in wetting condition into drying condition. To investigate its validity, two experiments were carried out on seeds of 9 weed species ; to find out the most effective storage condition in breaking the dormancy of each weed species and to know whether there is a decrease in the germinability by transferring into drying storage condition. The dormancy of Chenopodium album and Stellaria aquatica was released well under the drying condition, but that of Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola by soaking in water. Other weed species were released from dormancy by storage in wetting condition. When the seeds stored in the wetting or soaking condition, are air-dried and then restored at room or low temperature, a decreasing tendency of germinability which might cause a trouble in using them practically, was not observed except on the seeds of Persicaria vulgaris. In the case of Persicaria vulgaris, the low germination since 3 month-storage seemed not to be caused by drying, because a decrease of its germinability was observed with increasing storage period in all of the storage conditions. In contrast, high germination was induced as the seeds of Echinochloa crusgalli var. oryzicola, which were not germinated during the storage in low temperature and wetting condition, were transferred into the room temperature and drying condition. These results suggest that this approach can be one of the efficient methods for keeping a good germinability as long as possible in most weed seeds.

본 연구에서는 아스팔트 포장과 콘크리트 포장의 습윤시 교통사고 가능성을 비교하 였다. 다양한 노후도를 가진 두 포장재료에 대해 마찰력 측정장비(BPT, Britsh Pendulum Tester)로 건조 및 습윤상태에서 노면마찰력을 측정하였으며, 측정결과와 두 포장재료에 대 한 실제 교통사고율을 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 노면 습윤 에 따른 마찰력 저하정도는 아스팔트 포장이 콘크리트 포장보다 컸다. (2) 노면 습윤에 따른 실제 교통사고율도 아스팔트 포장에서 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타나 (1)의 결론과 일관된 결과를 보여주었다. (3) 노면마찰력은 건조상태에서는 노면마모 정도에 크게 영향을 받지 않으나 일 단 습윤상태가 되면 노면마모가 심할수록 마찰력 저하폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
