본 연구에서는 만경강 점착성 퇴적물의 표본채취 및 실내실험을 통하여 만경강 점착성 퇴적물의 침강특성이 정량적으로 산정되었으며, 과거 타 지역 퇴적물의 침강특성 산정 결과들과 비교 검토 되었다. 또한 퇴적물의 기본 물리 화학적 특성과 침강특성간의 상관관계 해석을 통하여, 만경강 점착성 퇴적물의 침강특성결과의 타당성이 간접적으로 검토되었다. 침강실험 결과, 부유사 농도가 증가함에 따라 침강속도가 증가하는 응집침강 영역과, 역으로 침강속도가 감소하는 간섭침강 영역이 명확히 나타났으며, 만경강 퇴적물의 부유사농도값이 0.1$W_s$<1 mm/sec의 침강속도 값을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 산정된 침강속도는 과거 타 지역과 비교하여 정량적으로 상당한 차이를 보였다.

한강 하구 점착성 퇴적물의 침강속도를 정량적으로 산정하고, 산정된 침강속도의 계절적 변화 해석을 목적으로 침강수주를 이용한 침강 실험이 수행되었다. 침강실험은 1개 정점에서 3계절에 채취된 퇴적물 표본 시료에 대해 계절별로 $5{\sim}6$회씩 총 16회의 실험이 수행되었으며, 또한 퇴적물 자체의 물리 화학적 특성 및 해수 특성에 따른 침강속도의 정성적 변화 특성을 파악하기 위하여 한강 하구 점착성 퇴적물에 대한 물리 화학적 특성 및 해수 특성에 대한 분석이 수행되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 도출되는 한강 하구 점착성 퇴적물 침강속도의 정량적 결과는 향후 한강 하구에 대한 체계적 관리 및 기능 회복을 위한 기술 개발시에 크게 활용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 저면의 침식과 퇴적에 따른 하상변동 해석, 수질 및 퇴적물 오염 절감을 위한 대책 방안 수립 등 다양한 목적으로 크게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

난류 수체에서 관성입자의 침강속도는 정지 수체에서보다 빠르고, 그 침강속도의 증가비율은 입자의 관성력과 난류의 길이 스케일에 큰 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있다(Wang and Maxey, 1993; Yang and Shy, 2003; Wang et al., 2018). 본 연구에서는 개수로 흐름에서 난류의 영향을 받는 관성입자의 침강속도를 측정하고, 정지 상태의 침강속도에 대한 침강속도의 증가비율과 난류 인자의연관성에 대해 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 관성입자는 비중 1.35, 직경 300 ㎛에서 2000 ㎛까지의 구형 플라스틱(PE; polyethylene) 입자이며, 해당 입자들의 침강속도는 PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) 방식을 통해 측정하였다. 그리고 PIV(particle image velocimetry) 기법을 통해, 개수로 흐름의 난류 에너지 소산율(energy dissipation rate, ϵ)과 그에 따른 Kolomogorov 길이 스케일을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 모든 직경 조건에서 플라스틱 입자는 난류 흐름에서의 침강속도가 정지 수체에서의 침강속도보다 빠름을 보였으며, 그 비율은 입자 직경이 난류의 길이 스케일과 유사하거나 작아질 때 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 유체 내에서의 관성입자의 거동에 대한 이론식과 비교하여 관성입자의 침강에 미치는 여러 힘들의 상대적 관계를 파악하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 자연 수체에서 미세플라스틱의 거동을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper demonstrates settling and further consolidation behaviour of dredged clayey soils during landfilling. The effects of initial moisture content, electrolyte type and concentration on settling and consolidation behaviour were examined and evaluated by laboratory column tests. Electrokinetic tests were carried out with modified settling column to compare the soil behaviour under the gravity. From the testing results, the settling velocity increased due to the effects of cations in the electrolyte solution, and electrically induced settlements were found to be greater than those under the gravity.

The settling behavior of marine fluid mud in the west seaside of Korea has been studied with theoretical analysis and experimental technique. This paper describes laboratorial experiments on the sedimentation and the deposition of soil particles in seawater, with measurement of velocity of interface, the water contents, the settlement. And the reseults are compared with an earlier theoretical research, the hindered settling theory of Kynch, McRoberts and Nixon. According to the results the process of Banweol mud sedimentation showed the typical mode of the hindered settling under the condition of initial water content, wo=1000%. Also, the falling rates of fluid mud interface from initial settling height vs. the rising rates of soil deposit from the bottom of the test tub were measured by the function of time, the correlati tranship of them demonstrated as a straight line and obtained an experimental formula.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the settling and erosional properties for cohesive sediments in Shihwa lake. Settling tests are conducted by multi-depth method using a specially designed 1.8 m tall settling column, and erosion tests are conducted with annular flume under the uniform bed condition. As result of settling tests, it is confirmed that the settling velocity of the cohesive sediments has the range of $0.002 for suspended sediments concentration of 0.1$0.19{\sim}0.55N/m^{2}$ for bed shear stress of $1.14{\sim}1.32g/cm^{3}$, and the erosion rate coefficient decreases with logarithmic function in a range of $18.4{\sim}3.9mg/cm^{2}{\cdot}hr$ with increase of bed shear stress.

유체의 특성을 나타내는 인자 중에 침강속도에 큰 영향을 미치는 인자 중 하나는 염도(salinity)이다. 염도는 부유사 입자의 응집을 촉진시키고, 입자의 응집은 더욱 큰 침강속도를 초래하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유체의 염도가 침강특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 서로 다른 염도조건(담수와 염수)에서 고령토 퇴적물에 대한 침강실험을 수행하고, 그 결과를 비교 분석하여 염도가 침강특성에 미치는 영향을 정성적 정량적으로 해석하였다.

In this study, settling experiment was performed about cohesive and sandy soils among representative sample expected to dredge and dump for analysis of settling and consolidation characteristic. The analysis showed the definite difference between cohesive soils and sandy soils of relationships with settling and consolidation coefficient, a water content, interfacial heights. But directly after a dredged reclamation, prediction results about a initial volume change showed that cohesive soil of a water content change was decreased rapidly as time goes by, but sandy soils made no difference in a water content change. Results were compared and analyzed with the settling and consolidation coefficient and a initial settling velocity by real soil amounts for a feasibility check about test conditions applied to these experiment: we judge that test conditions are appropriate, each material by such these analyses suggests the scope of settling and consolidation coefficient, average and the representative relational formula.

This study conducted experimental observations of the settling velocity of a coarse particle in water varying material type and particle size and compared the results with preexisting empirical equations. Three types of materials, which are polyacetal, glass and steel, were used in this study and the diameter of particle ranged from 1 mm to 20 mm. Experiment results showed that the settling velocity of coarse particle had a significant difference from Stokes equation which is known applicable for a fine particle smaller than $50{\mu}m$. In addition, the observed particle velocity showed a significant difference when compared with other empirical equations, which was proposed for estimating the settling velocity of a particle regardless of particle size, depending on the material type and particle size. The results from experimental observations indicated that the settling velocity of a coarse particle was relatively in smaller difference to other empirical equations for the particle size smaller than 3 mm, but as the size increased the difference in the settling velocity also increased. This study clearly showed that the settling velocity of a coarse particle velocity can be significantly different depending on particle size and density and the empirical equations may not reliably estimate the settling velocity of a coarse particle so that they should not be used as it is and a verification of them is necessarily before any use. The study results would provide a useful information for a better understanding of settling velocity of a particle in water.

In this research, settling tests with marine clays in Korea and extensive literature review were performed to investigate the characteristics of sedimentation and consolidation so that their behaviors during dredging and reclamating could be evaluated. Design parameters related to Yano's method (1985), one of experimental approaches having been used widely in Korea to estimate sedimentation and consolidation, were analyzed and their proprieties were reassessed. For samples from four different sites of south and west coasts in Korea respectively, settling tests with 1m height of columns were carried out, changing initial water content and height of sample in order to evaluate settling and consolidation characteristics of them from analyzing test results. More reliable regression curves than values from literature review were obtained as analyzing test results of estimating coefficient of sedimentation/ consolidation and initial setting velocity with changing initial water content. Relation between height of soil solid and surface height of slurry at the stages of initiation and termination of consolidation was also assessed. Finally, for marine clays of south and west coasts of Korea, ranges and average values of these design parameters were evaluated and typical empirical equations between these design parameters were also proposed. On the other hand, comparisons of characteristics of sedimentation and consolidation between marine clays from south coast and them from west coast were also performed.
