The sand layer deposited in clay is called a sand seam, which is formed by inflow of sands due to river flooding or slope failure in the middle of sinking and sediment of clay. When the sand seam exists in clay layer, the drainage direction changes from one way to both ways, and the time of consolidation may be reduced. However, it is not clearly proved due to lack of studies of sand seam and currently is not reflected in the design of soft soil improvement. As a fundamental study about sand seam, the oedometer tests and constant rate of strain tests with Rowe cell were conducted on clay specimens with sand seam. For tests, a frozen method was specially designed for making the sand seam. It was concluded that the test results showed the sand seam affects the coefficient of consolidation of clay. If the thickness of sand seam exceeds 0.05 times of specimen height, the sand seam works as drainage layer of pore water horizontally as well as vertically, and consequently the consolidation is accelerated.

The clay which transported into a pond under the high water content condition have no effective stress which develop from the starting point of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation. Since sedimentation and self-weight consolidation dependent on self-weight of solids is made progress over a long time, to accelerating it have many advantages in the economic view In this paper, sand spreading method which is one of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation acceleration method is studied through a series of experiments considering the mixing ratio of sand and clay. The test results show that the mixing ratio of clay and sand of 1:0.2 is the biggest rate of consolidation and the pouring at the end point of sedimentation considerably effects on consolidation rate.

Design parameters related to Yano's method(1984, 1985), one of experimental approaches having been used widely in Korea to estimate sedimentation and consolidation of dredged and reclaimed ground, were analyzed and their propriety were reassessed in this paper. Data analyses were performed on the basis of the settling test results using samples from the west coastal area of Korea. From analysis of results, for specific characteristics of these dredged and reclaimed marine soft clays, co-relations of initial water content - coefficient of sedimentation/ consolidation - initial setting velocity were evaluated. Relation between height of soil solid and surface height of slurry at the stages of initiation and termination of consolidation was also assessed. Finally ranges and average values of these design parameters were evaluated and typical empirical equations between these design parameters were also proposed.

흔히 진흙으로 불리는 점착성 유사는 모래 등의 비점착성 유사와는 다른 특성을 보인다. 가장 큰 특징은 점착력에 의해 서로 엉겨 붙어 큰 덩어리(플럭)를 형성하고 다시 큰 플럭이 파괴되는 과정인 응집현상(Flocculation Process)을 보인다는 것이다. 이 응집현상의 과정을 통해 플럭은 크기 및 밀도를 지속적으로 변화시킨다. 크기 및 밀도의 변화는 플럭의 침강속도를 변화시켜 점착성 유사의 부유, 퇴적, 이송, 확산의 과정에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 응집현상은 플럭의 침강속도 뿐 아니라 부피농도와 질량농도 사이의 비선형적 관계를 야기하여 흐름 운동량 방정식 유도, 난류의 모형화 등에서도 비점착성 유사와 다른 방향으로 진행된다. 점착성 유사가 우세한 지역의 또 다른 특성은 자기하중에 의한 압밀현상에 따라 발생하는 가변적인 한계소류력이다. 따라서 점착성 유사의 이동을 모형화 하는 과정에서는 가변적인 침식율의 가정 등을 통해 이에 대한 고려가 반드시 이루어져야 한다. 흐름의 운동량 방정식 및 난류 모형에서는 플럭의 부피 농도와 질량농도가 각 항의 물리적 의미에 부합하도록 개별적으로 선택 및 적용되어야 질량보존의 문제 등으로 발생할 수 있는 계산상의 오류를 배제할 수 있다. 적용 결과, 점착성 유사가 우세한 지역에서 나타나는 높은 부유 및 흐름정체기에서의 부유사 존재 등의 특성이 점착성 유사 이동을 위한 모형에서 보다 합리적으로 계산된다는 사실이 확인되었다. 그리고 비점착성 유사에 적합한 이동 모형이 점착성이 우세한 지역에 적용될 경우, 상황에 따라 유사량을 과대 및 과소 산정할 수 있다는 결론이 도출되었다. 조류의 영향이 존재하는 하구부의 경우에는 조류의 형태와 비대칭성에 따라 유사량의 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 조류의 형태는 주로 하구부의 지형에 의해 결정되므로 준설, 매립, 확폭 등과 같은 하구부에서의 사업이 진행되는 경우, 유사량 변화에 대한 고려가 반드시 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to improve dredged area, long time and high cost is needed because of bad engineering and physical conditions. And there is no suitable example of pipe mixing method at domestic site. Moreover, applicability and effectiveness of this method is uncertain and shows different results between site and laboratory test. In order to solve these problems, we determined proper grain size distribution and water content range using dredged soil and reformed material (standard sand & material controlling grain size distribution) in the laboratory test. As a result, we confirmed that coefficient of sediment consolidation is increased and there is an improvement about separation sedimentation. Undrained shear strength was derived by water content of reformed dredging soil through regression analysis of test results. We suggest the correlation equation for determining mixing ratio.

Volume change of the dredged soils is composed of the volume loss of soil particle flowing over an outflow weir with water and settlement due to both the self-weight consolidation in reclaimed layer and the desiccation at the surface of reclaimed layer. In order to estimate the amount of soil particles flowing over an outflow weir with water, the evaluation procedure of loss ratio of the dredged soils is proposed in the present study based on the Marsal's modified breakage theory and the results of hydrometer analyses. To verify a validity of the proposed procedure, evaluated loss ratio is compared with results from the other existing methods. The model test results and those of field test were compared and analyzed. Also, the variation of soil loss ratio was examined through the model test in the lab.

Seashore landfill projects use undersea pump dredging method for construction of airport and factory site. Coarse grain soil from the dredging is considered for use at inland. West sea shore bottom consists of primarily coarser grained silt-sand and this component contains far more percentage than is the case with East sea and South sea area. This soil shows very different characteristic at consolidation and compaction behavior. This research targets to utilize this type of dredging soil. Test specimen is from West sea (Saemangum) dredged soil landfill site. Model analysis is done for getting prediction of original soil relative density and N-value from dynamic compaction energy variance. Dynamic compaction energy is calculated for efficient foundation design.

The polyethersulfone(PES)-titanium oxide($TiO_2$) hybrid membranes were prepared by immersion precipitation phase inversion method. The casting solution for the preparation of $PES-TiO_2$ hybrid membrane was provided by adding $TiO_2$ nano particles into the basis polymer solution of 14 wt% and 20 wt% PES/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP). The $TiO_2$ loading [wt% ($TiO_2/NMP$)] in eating solution was varied from 0 to 60 wt%. Membrane performance and morphological change of the resulting $PES-TiO_2$ hybrid membranes were discussed in aspect of $TiO_2$ loading, by viscosity, coagulation value and light transmittance of the casting solution, measurement of tensile strength, pore size and contact angle, surface and cross sectional SEM images of the hybrid membrane, and ultrafiltration experiments using the hybrid membrane. According as increase of $TiO_2$ loading in the casting solution, viscosity is increased and coagulation value becomes lower, therefore the thermodynamic instability of the casting solution is increased. It is found that when $TiO_2$ loading is increased, 1) precipitation rate becomes faster while instantaneous demixing is maintained, 2) pure water flux, membrane pore size and compaction stability of the resulting membranes are increased, 3) tensile strength and contact angle are decreased. Dead-end ultrafiltration of bovine serum albumin(BSA) solution using the hybrid membrane shows that membrane performance(flux of BSA solution) enhanced up to 7 times compared with the results obtained using the pure PES membrane(not containing $TiO_2$ particle), due to the increase of hydrophilicity.

Recently, many researches on the dissipation of excess pore pressure in liquefied sand grounds have been performed to evaluate post-liquefaction behavior of structures. In this research, centrifuge tests were performed to analyze liquefaction behavior of level saturated sand grounds. Based on the test results, the evaluation model of solidified layer thickness was developed to simulate non-linear variation of the thickness with time. The thickness evaluation model was combined with the solidification theory and the consolidation theory in order to simulate dissipation of excess pore pressure. The suggested dissipation model properly estimated the solidified layer thickness and the time history of excess pore pressure.
