Hydraulic conductivity along rock fracture is mainly dependent on fracture geometries such as orientation, aperture, roughness and connectivity. Therefore, it needs to consider fracture geometries sufficiently on a fracture model for a numerical analysis to calculate permeability coefficient in a fracture. This study performed new type of numerical analysis using a homogenization analysis method to calculate permeability coefficient accurately along single fractures with several fracture models that were considered fracture geometries as much as possible. First of all, fracture roughness and aperture variation due to normal stress applied on a fracture were directly measured under a confocal laser scaning microscope (CLSM). The acquired geometric data were used as input data to construct fracture models for the homogenization analysis (HA). Using the constructed fracture models, the homogenization analysis method can compute permeability coefficient with consideration of material properties both in microscale and in macroscale. The HA is a new type of perturbation theory developed to characterize the behavior of a micro inhomogeneous material with a periodic microstructure. It calculates micro scale permeability coefficient at homogeneous microscale, and then, computes a homogenized permeability coefficient (C-permeability coefficient) at macro scale. Therefore, it is possible to analyze accurate characteristics of permeability reflected with local effect of facture geometry. Several computations of the HA were conducted to prove validity of the HA results compared with the empirical equations of permeability in the previous studies using the constructed 2-D fracture models. The model can be classified into a parallel plate model that has fracture roughness and identical aperture along a fracture. According to the computation results, the conventional C-permeability coefficients have values in the range of the same order or difference of one order from the permeability coefficients calculated by an empirical equation. It means that the HA result is valid to calculate permeability coefficient along a fracture. However, it should be noted that C-permeability coefficient is more accurate result than the preexisting equations of permeability calculation, because the HA considers permeability characteristics of locally inhomogeneous fracture geometries and material properties both in microscale and macroscale.

Recently, soil-bentonite mixtures are frequently used as impervious liners for waste disposal sites. In the present work, bentonite composite liner systems have been developed by utilizing Korean zeolitic bentonites. The geomechanical properties of the liner systems, such as strength hydraulic conductivity, etc. have also been studied. The laboratory and field test results showed that uniaxial strengths of the system were improved by addition of bentonite and CaO-based additive to the upper and lower layer of the liner systems, respectively. Hydraulic conductivity values measured on field liner systems showed less $1{\times}10^{-3}cm/s$, which is considered to be minimum regulation requirement for waste disposal sites.

A series of tests was performed to determine a threshold concentration of water-soluble organic permeant(ethanol) for permeability to be increased in clay and to estimate long-term permeability behaviors, effects of overburden pressure and compaction conditions on permeability in clay. Results of study are as follows ; 1. A threshold concentration of water-soluble organic permeant(ethanol) in clay was about 7O~8O% and its dielectric constant was 40, and dielectric constant seems to be closely related with absolute permeability. 2. Permeability of long-term tests was more or less larger than that of short-term tests. 3. Overburden pressures applied for a long time elapsed have little effects on the restriction of permeability increase. 4. Since water content has no effects of compaction capability when it is compacted with OMC or wet side of OMC, its permeability is to be estimated as same level of dry side of OMC. 5. Clays matured in the humid chamber are increased in permeability 2 times larger than unmatured ones. Thixotropy, therefore, should be considered in the design procedures because field conditions of construction would be quite similar to this..

In the Jeon Cheon Basin, unconsolidated alluvium and marine clay beds overlying Tertiary conglomerate and impermeable mudstone, and Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks composed of mainly cavernous limestones, and age-unknowned crystalline rocks are occured. Most productive rock is Cambro-Ordovician limestones containing a lot of solution openings and secondary porosities and shows its transmissivity of 1836$m^2$/day and storativity of 1.47 $\times$ $10^{-3}$. The storage of deep seated groundwater in linestone aquifer is estimated about 1059 $\times$ $10^6$ metric tons, being equivalent to 6 years total precipitation of the basin. The safe yield of the groundwater to be abstracted from the aquifer is about 126,000 tons/day. To pump at least 100,000 tons/day of groundwater from the said aquifer, a well field comprising 34 deep wells ranging in depth from 80 to 100 meter and penetrating the cavernous limestone aquifer shall be established at middle and down stream area.

Laboratory tests were performed on modeling of in situ remediation of contaminated soils by aqueous solution extraction, thus investigating the feasibility of in situ treatments of soil to promote desorption of organic hazardous wastes. The investigation was conducted using phenol, aniline, quinoline, and 2-napthol adsorbed onto a UH40 soil, and various aqueous solutions were used to desorb, or otherwise remove, these organic contaminants. Decontaminants consisted of deionized water as a reference, hydrogen peroxide, acidy, bases, and surfactants. In situ conditions were modeled in the laboratory by permeating potential extracting liquids through reconstituted, contaminated soil specimens under controlled hydraulic gradients and stress condition through flexible wall permeameter tests. Sodium hydroxide desorbed phenol effectively. Aniline was effectively descorbed by nonionic surfactant. Anionic surfactant remediated quinoline and 2-napthol.

우리나라는 계절에 따라 수량의 변화가 커서 하천에 흐르는 유량의 변화가 심하지만 대부분의 하천은 갈수기에도 각각 일정량의 유량을 가지고 흘러간다. 그러나 충적층을 통과하는 소하천의 경우에는 계절에 상관없이 하천수가 지하로 침투하여 지표수가 감소한다. 소하천의 하천수량이 갈소되거나 건천화 될 경우 수질이 악화되거나 하천의 바닥이 드러날 경우 수중생태계는 파괴됨 것이다. 현재 지하수를 개발하여 부족한 하천수를 보충하는 방법을 모색하고 있으나 하천수의 지하침투가 심각한 경우에는 지하수만으로는 하천수의 부족분을 보충하는데 한계가 있다. 충적층을 통과하는 소하천의 침투수를 차단하는 방법으로 충적층에 불투수 매트를 설치하여 사용하면 하천의 건천화를 방지할 수 있으며, 충적층의 침투수를 차단하기 위하여 충적층위에 점토층을 설치하여 투수계수를 저하시키는 방법을 사용하면 부족한 하천유지용수를 확보할 수 있다. 따라서 충적층을 통과하는 소하천의 건천화를 방지하고 자연형 하천으로 개발할 경우 수중생태계 복원성이 우수하며, 자연경관의 복원에도 효과가 있다.

A pot experiment was conducted to find out the effectiveness of ammonium sulfate absorbed Zeolite on the yield of rice and the changes of some plant nutrients under the condition of two levels of water percolation. The results were as follows: 1. Unhulled rice yield was increased in the plot of the percolation of 10 mm/day than the percolation of 30 mm/day due to the increase of panicle number and ripening ratio. 2. $NH^+_4-N$, $K^+$ and $SiO_2$ concentration in soil leachates were lower in the percolation rate of 10 mm/day than in the early stage of rice growth were decreased by the application of Zeolite 1.0 T/10a. 3. Plant uptakes of K and N in the harvesting stage were more accelerated in the percolation of 10 mm/day comparing with the percolation of 30 mm/day, and the silica uptake of plant was the reverse against the case of former elements. 4. The optimum rates of Zeolite for maximum yield were about 1T/10a.
