We have investigated the electric resistivity structure of the fault zone located in the Hongseong area where a big earthquake with M 5.0 occurred in 1978. Usually, Electric and Electromagnetic methods are broadly operated in the field of engineering works since these methods are effective to understand the distribution of geological weak zones - fault or fracture zones. We have conducted the dipole-dipole array resistivity method and MT(magnetotelluric) method and interpreted the resistivity distribution of the fault zone with the aid of various inversion methods. An MT survey was performed at 18 points along a 2.9 km survey line perpendicular to the fault line and a magnetic dipole source was used to enhance the S/N ratio in the high frequency. A Electric dipole-dipole array resistivity survey with the dipole length of 50 meters was carried out perpendicular to the fault. In view of two survey results, the fault marks the boundary between two opposite resistivity structures, especially the low resistivity zone is exhibited deeply through the prospective fault line. The result that the low resistivity zone is located at the center of the fault zone corresponds with the fact that the fault zone of the Hongseong area is active. We expect these results to provide basic information about the physical properties of fault zones in Korea.

연약지반으로 분류되는 조간대 퇴적층의 연구는 제한적인 시추자료에 의존하고 있다. 비파괴 지반조사 방법은 시추자료에서 획득할 수 없는 지층의 측방변화와 지질 이상대를 확인할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있다. 지구물리탐사 방법은 현장 토질조사와 같이 직접적인 지반조사 방법과 병행할 경우 지반을 이해하는데 있어 한층 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 부산신항 배후부지 조성지역에서 매질의 상이한 특성에 기초한 비파괴 지반조사 방법으로 이용되는 지구물리탐사를 실시하였다. 각 탐사의 결과는 서로 유사한 지층경계를 나타내며, 시추와 매립공사의 결과와도 일치한다. 또한 계측을 위해 매설된 침하판이나 매설관로의 탐지, 압밀차이에 의한 부등 침하의 측방변화 등과 같이 시추조사에서 인지하기 어려운 부분에 대한 정보를 제공하고 있다.

근래 지구촌의 산업화가 가속됨에 따라 대지의 활용도가 급속하게 증가하고 있으며 아울러 인구의 증가 및 개개인 삶의 공간적 범주가 점점 확대되면서 지구상에 광범위하게 분포되어 있는 연약지반으로의 관심이 집중되고 있는 실정이다. 최근 국내에서도 고속철도, 인천국제공항, 도심지 지하철 및 서ㆍ남해안 항만공사 등 대규모 국가건설공사가 진행 중에 있으며 더더욱 임해시설의 확충이라든지 인공섬 등의 건설이 활발해지면서 연약지반에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 하지만 연약지반의 특성을 경시한 나머지 터널의 붕락, 주변지반 및 인접건물의 부등침하, 측방유동에 의한 구조물변위 등 대형 안전사고가 빈발하게 발생되어 왔다. 이러한 안전사고의 대책으로서 지반보강을 위한 여러 가지 신공법이 개발되었고, 새로운 터널보조공법이 국내 지하철건설현장에서 널리 쓰여지고 있으며 이러한 공법 등을 통한 성과도 적지 않게 보고되고 있다.(중략)

Improvement of soft clay layers is highly significant for the efficient utilization of the national land. Thus, the development of advanced methods and materials is currently necessary. Quicklime, as a injection material for the soil improvement, is possibly applied as the useful method for the improvement of soft clay layers. Based upon the experimental study, the following conclusions were obtained. When quicklime was employed, a substantial strength increase was observed from the initial stage of injection. In overall, the present experiments showed that the improvement effects of soft clay layers using the quicklime are appeared to be substantially better than those of lime or sand. Therefore, the possibility of quicklime usage is significantly high in domestic country with abundant lime reserves.

has been much progress in theories and construction techniques to secure the stability of the underground structures. Recently, several studios have shown that it is possible to predict the existence of discontinuities ahead of a tunnel face by analyzing 3-dimensional absolute displacements measured during tunnel excavation. This paper concentrated on the development of a methodology to predict the existence and location of the discontinuities, or the void space(abandoned mine) , by performing 3-dimensional FEM analysis and considering the stress relocation caused by arching effect during excavation. Also, this study tried to verify deformation for choosing the most suitable support system. The results of this study might provide a way of safer and economical tunnel construction by utilizing the in-situ monitoring data.

One of the major elements of a natural landslide is the increase of the pore water pressure in a weakened layer. Therefore, the measurement of the pore water pressure in the layer is important. This work is a laboratory model study of the measurement of the pore water pressure with regard to the confined groundwater level, the permeability of the crack zone and the weathering degree of the weakened layer. By the model of the Tertiary period failure type and the Colluvium failure type, the reactions of the pore air pressure and the pore water pressure were measured in the weakened layer according to the permeability of the filter on the condition of the confined groundwater states. On the reaction phase of the pore pressure according to the during time, the Tertiary period failure type proved to be a step type and the Colluvium failure type turned out to be a wave type. The reaction ratios of the pore water pressure in the Tertiary period failure type are higher than the Colluvium failure type, decrease according to increasing of the weathering degree of the weakened layer.

It is necessary to develop the simple and efficient technique that ease entry of man and equipment and take the role of foundations of temporary or small structures on the soft ground. This study intends to verify the effects on the increase of bearing capacity of base projecting walls under shallow foundations and to investigate the variance of the bearing capacity of the foundations according to the interval and length of the walls. For this, model soft ground in the chamber equipped with loading apparatus is made and the loading tests on the model foundations with base projecting walls of various intervals and lengths using the apparatus are performed with measuring the loads and settlements. The results show that the base projecting walls under shallow foundations on soft ground are effective on the increase of bearing capacity and the more the number and length of the walls the larger the effects. And, when the ratio of interval to length of the walls is 1, i.e. the shape forming the base of the foundation and the walls is square, the bearing capacity is increased by 25% and the effect is optimum.

Resistivity surveys can identify the distribution of geological units and structures (including fragmented fault zones), the extent of weathered and modified geological strata, and the characteristics of groundwater. This study aims to analyze the underground sedimentary layers and geological structures near the Nari and Albong Basins of Ulleung-do, Korea, focusing on six survey lines to identify the spatial trends in subsurface resistivity. A modified dipole array method (D method) was employed, combining resistivity results obtained by existing dipole array methods (A and C methods). The modified method provides optimal analysis of the cross-section of underground resistivity, and shows a clear boundary between a low-resistivity zone (${\leq}500{\Omega}{\cdot}m$) of sedimentary layers and weak zones, and a high-resistivity zone (${\geq}5,000{\Omega}{\cdot}m$) of volcanic rock (trachyandesite). The estimated average thickness of the sedimentary layers is 50~100 m for the Albong Basin and 100~200 m for the Nari Basin. An anomaly zone, different from the weak zone in the bedrock, is identified as a caldera fault, and the low-resistivity zone extends from the surface down to the lowest survey depths.
