The purpose of this study is to ascertain the void ratio, permeability coefficient and compressive strength of porous polymer concretes with unsaturated polyester. The porous polymer concretes using unsaturated polyester with polymer binder contents of 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.5% are prepared, and tested for void ratio, permeability coefficient and compressive strength. As a result, void ratio and permeability coefficient of porous polymer concrete decrease with increasing polymer binder content. However, the compressive strength of porous polymer concrete increase with increasing polymer binder content. The compressive strength of porous polymer concrete decrease with increasing permeability coefficient.

본 논문에서는 경남 양산지역의 퇴적층에서 채취한 불교란 시료를 이용하여 표준압밀시험($IL_{CON}$)과 일정변형률(CRS, Constant Rates of Strain) 압밀시험을 수행한 후 각각의 시험결과를 분석하여 양산점토의 투수특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 투수계수와 간극비의 관계를 Kozeny(1927)와 Carman(1956) 이후 제안된 많은 연구결과와 비교, 검토하였으며, 시료를 연직방향으로 성형하여 CRS 시험을 수행한 후 횡방향투수계수를 산정하여 양산점토의 투수계수의 이방성을 살펴보았다. CRS시험 결과, 직접적으로 정상류를 발생시켜 누수계수를 측정하는 Rowe cell 시험에 비하여 상대적으로 투수계수의 이방성이 과소평가되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 현장 투수계수에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 살펴보고, 깊이에 따른 투수계수를 고찰하였다.다.

In this paper, using the principle of Static Measurement Methods suggested by Huang (1998), a new experimental device has been made and used in order to calculate the unsaturated permeability of Nak-dong river sand with silt which is an important basic property in the unsaturated soil. This device was designed to measure changes of the unsaturated permeability according to the increase of matric suction. The value of the unsaturated permeability obtained in testing and that obtained using the empirical permeability functional formula were compared and analyzed. As a result, the value of the unsaturated permeability tends to be decreased according to the increase of relative density, silt content and matric suction. This tendency shows it is very closely related to the change of moisture content and void ratio. The empirical permeability functional formula presented by Frelund & Xing (1995) was regarded as the most appropriate model to represent the unsaturated permeability of Nak-dong River silty sand.

급속한 산업화와 도시화는 도시지역 불투수 지표면적의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 도로포장면의 증가를 가져왔으며, 이것은 강우의 급속한 배수를 유발하여 도시홍수를 발생시키고 우수의 지표면 침투 저하로 인한 지하수위의 저하와 용수의 고갈 등 생태계의 불균형과 도시지역의 열섬현상과 같은 환경문제의 주요인으로 지목되고 있다. 불투수층 포장체로 인하여 왜곡되어 있는 국내 물순환 시스템의 개선 방안으로 실험에 의한 투수성 포장체의 처짐량 및 투수계수를 측정하였다. 투수성 포장을 모의하도록 수정 개발된 SWMM을 이용하여 대상지구 내 우수저감효과를 분석하였다. 투수성 포장 설치가 건기 하천유출량과 우수유출에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연속유출모의를 수행하였다. 1997년부터 2007년까지 투수성 포장 설치 전 후의 물순환 분석결과 유출률 및 침투율은 각각 81.38 %, 74.35 %와 8.32 %, 15.13 %로 산정되었다. 대상지구의 투수성 포장의 설치로 유출량은 감소, 침투량은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of this study is to suggest a semi-empirical equation for estimating the hydraulic conductivity of sands using geoelectrical measurements technique. The suggested formula is based on the original Kozeny-Carman equation; therefore varying factors affecting the Kozeny-Carman equation were selected as the testing variables, and six different sands with varying particle sizes and particle shapes were used as the testing materials in this study. To measure both hydraulic and electrical conductivities, a series of constant head permeameter tests equipped with the four electrodes conductivity probe was conducted. Test results reveal that the effects of both pore water conductivity and flow rate in relation between hydraulic conductivity and formation factor (=pore water conductivity / measused conductivity of soil) of tested materials are negligible. However, because the variations of hydraulic conductivity of the tested sands according to particle sizes are significant, the estimated hydraulic conductivity using the formation factor varies with particle sizes. The overall comparison between the measured hydraulic conductivity and the estimated hydraulic conductivity using the suggested formula shows a good agreement, and the variation of hydraulic conductivity with varying Archie's m exponents is smaller compared with varying porosities.

Concrete, as a porous media, has permeability and it is considered as a major parameter for durability evaluation. Cold joint caused by delayed placing of concrete accelerates water permeation and intrusion of harmful ions. In the paper, concrete specimens containing GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) are prepared with cold joint section, and water permeability and water flow at the age of 91 days are measured for 2 weeks. Sound concrete with GGBFS shows decreased permeability to 89% for sound concrete with OPC and 0.86 of decreasing ratio is evaluated in GGBFS concrete with cold joint. Through WPT (Water Penetration Test), the effects of mineral admixture and cold joint on water permeability are evaluated, and variation in water behavior via cold joint is analyzed through probabilistic method as well.

Although rock itself has high strength or low permeability, engineering properties of rock masses are significantly influenced by discontinuities such as cracks and joints. Considered with possibility of groundwater flow in massive rock mass of deep subsurface, the connectivity of micro cracks should be analyzed as a conduit of ground-water flow. The objective of this study is to estimate permeability characteristics of granite dependent on damage process with application of joint distribution analysis and modeling of permeability analysis in rock masses. In case of average permeability coefficients, the modeling results based on micro cracks data are well matched with the results from permeability tests. Based on the visualization result of three dimensional model, the average permeability coefficients through the discharge plane have a positive relationship with the number of microcrack induced by rock damage.

Using Rowe cell for vertical and lateral consolidate test, we concerned characteristics of vertical and lateral consolidation, and permeability on the remolded Decompoed Mudstone Soil in Phoang, and then, compared it with Oedometer test results. Indirect coefficients of permeability were calculated by the results of the coefficient of consolidation that were derived from 9 different kinds of methods. The values of indirect coefficients of permeability derived from ${\sqrt{t}}$ method and hyperbolic method were similar to the results of direct coefficients of permeability with respect to vertical drainage, but, in the case of lateral drainage, for all kinds of methods, the values of indirect coefficients of permeability showed overestimated ones. With vertical and lateral direct coefficient of permeability, by investigating the anisotropic effect with respect to permeability on Decomposed mudstone soil, we obtained average value, 13, with respect to anisotropic characteristics for all kinds of consolidation loadings.

Fresh concrete has 10~20% extra water in it. As those water remain entrapped air in the concrete, life span of structures is reduced. For that reason, if extra water is eliminated, it will be useful to improve the durability of the structures. Though there were many reports about permeable formwork, the study on the properties of permeable liner itself has been insufficient. In addition, making holes on the form causes lowering of workability. Therefore, this study reviewed the properties of woven and non-woven permeable liner and formwork which has no holes on the form. For the woven and non-woven permeable liner, they showed great application with W/C decrease, lowering roughness, increased compressive strength of surface area and slight loss of cement paste, when the were applied to concrete. In addition, they showed different performance according to the density of woven liner or thickness of non-woven liner. Furthermore, when using the draining non-woven permeable liner which has drainage path inside, concrete surface showed required performance with high workability, without drilling the holes on the form.

The rapid expansion of buildings and paved roads increases the risk of flood disaster in an urban area. One of the solutions can be the use of permeable pavements. This study evaluated the permeability of permeable blocks used for the roadway pavement. Joint fillers and mat sands of the investigated blocks met the corresponding standards. The flexural strength of the blocks was 5.29 MPa to meet these standards. Based on interior permeability test results after pollution, the four products evaluated were categorized into the following three levels: One for the $1^{st}$ level, one for the $2^{nd}$ level and two for the $3^{rd}$ level. From the field permeability test and pervious concrete infiltration test results nine months after their construction, all the products except one passed the quality standards of 0.1 mm/s.
