The engineering characteristics of synthetic polymer-silica sol, which has the effect of reducing leakage, was evaluate and compared with typical grouting material, the water glass-based SGR injection material in this study. The result of the laboratory tests on strength and durability about the synthetic polymer-silica sol showed more than twice as high as LW-based injection materials in uniaxial compressive strength, significantly lower values in shrinkage rate and permeability. The result of pH was less than 8.5 (the drinking water quality standard). As a result of the leaching test, the Na₂O elution amount of the synthetic polymer-silica sol was measured to be 3 to 4 times smaller than that of the water glass grout. These results be assumed that the synthetic polymer-silica sol has better durability and permeability than those of the typical water glass-based grout.

In deep geological disposal concept for spent nuclear fuel, it is well-known that rock mass at near-field experiences the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupled behavior. The mechanical properties of rock changes during the coupled process, and it is important to consider the changes into the analysis of numerical simulation and in-situ tests for long-term stability evaluation of nuclear waste disposal repository. This report collected the previous studies on indirect coupled behaviors of rock. The effects of water saturation and temperature on some mechanical properties of rock was considered, while the change in hydraulic conductivity of rock due to stress was included in the indirect coupled behavior.

In this study, a comparative test was conducted on a specially developed elastic waterproof paint and general water-based paint for the purpose of responding to cracks occurring on the outer wall of concrete structures and improving watertightness. Through the comparative experiment, it was confirmed that the watertightness could be improved by securing the crack shielding property, and it was also confirmed that about 10 times more crack responsiveness was secured compared to general water-based paint. In addition, it was confirmed that the adhesion performance of at least 1.3MPa and resistance to a water permeation pressure of 0.1MPa were possible, confirming that stability was secured from a waterproofing perspective.

In this paper, the applicability of cement grout bas been studied as an alternative to bentontite grout to backfill ground heat exchangers. To provide an optimal mixture design, the groutabilty and thermal conductivity of cement grouts with various mixture ratios were experimentally evaluated and compared. The unconfined compression strength of cement grout specimen was measured, which was exposed to cyclic temperature variation ranging from $50^{\circ}C$ to $-5^{\circ}C$. In addition, the integrity of the interface between circulating HDPE pipes and cement grout was evaluated by performing equivalent hydraulic conductivity tests, on the specimen. in which a pipe locates at the center of the specimen.

To improve the stability of levee structure, it is required to use good quality fill materials, intensive management, appropriate hydraulic structure and construction of cut-off wall. In particular, the most important factor of levee construction technology is to use bed sediment for its safety. In this study, seepage model test and numerical analysis were performed based on a standard section of levee recommended in the river design standard of korea (2005). The results of test and analysis show that most of the bed soil is a sand (SP in USCS), which does not satisfy the permeability criteria for levee materials ($< k=10^{-3}cm/sec$), thus for the safety of levee it is required to adopt a stabilizing method such as good quality soil mixing, water content control.

도시화로 인해 불투수층의 증가는 강우시 유출을 증가시켜 물순환을 왜곡시키고 다양한 오염물질을 수계로 배출시켜 수질악화 및 수생태계를 훼손시킨다. 이러한 환경 수문학적 문제를 해결하기 위하여 침투, 여과, 저류 등의 물리적 기작, 식생 및 토양의 생물학적 기작을 이용한 LID 기술을 적용하고 있다. LID 시설에 적용되는 식물은 심미적, 경관성을 증대시켜주나, 다량의 오염물질이 유입될 경우 일부 식물의 고사를 유발한다. 따라서 본 연구는 LID 시설내 식물 체내 중금속 농도를 파악하고자 수행하였다. 본 연구는 지붕 강우유출수를 처리를 위해 설치된 LID 시설(침투화분) 모니터링 대상 지점으로 선정하였으며, 패랭이(Dianthus chinensis)와 조팝나무(Spiraea fritschiana)가 식재되어있다. LID 시설 내 식재된 식물과의 비교를 위해 패랭이와 조팝나무가 식재된 화단을 각각 대조군으로 선정하였다. 패랭이는 잎과 뿌리, 조팝나무는 줄기와 잔가지로 구분하여 체내 중금속 함량에 대해 분석을 수행하였다. 중금속 분석은 토질오염공정시험기준에 의해 Fe, Ni, Zn, As를 분석하였다. 연구결과, LID 시설에 적용된 식생과 대조군 식생의 체내 Fe 농도는 패랭이(1176.9~3804.6mg/kg), 조팝나무(218.4~342.5mg/kg)이며, Ni의 경우 패랭이(13.3~21.4mg/kg), 조팝나무(7.2~12.5mg/kg) Zn은 패랭이(33.6~160.5mg/kg), 조팝나무(46.1~243.2mg/kg), As는 패랭이(7.3~37.3mg/kg), 조팝나무(1.9~8.7mg/kg)로 대조군에 비해 유사하거나 높은 값을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, LID 시설에 식재된 조팝나무는 대조군에 비해 줄기는 약 26배, 잔가지 19배 이상 높은 농도를 보이는 것으로 나타났으나, 중금속 농도의 차이는 식물의 중금속 흡수 혹은 토양의 중금속 흡착능력이 토양의 종류, 특성에 따라 다를 수 있기 때문에 모니터링 환경에 따라 편차가 존재할 것으로 판단된다.

Based on the data obtained from field investigation and soil testing to slope hazards occurrence section and non-occurrence section in crystalline rocks like gneiss, granite, and so on, a prediction model was developed by the use of a decision tree model. The classification standard of the selected prediction model is composed of the slope angle, the coefficient of permeability and the void ratio in the order. The computer program, SHAPP ver. 1.0 for prediction of slope hazards around an important national facilities using GIS technique and the developed model. To prove the developed prediction model and the computer program, the field data surveyed from Jumunjin, Gangneung city were compared with the prediction result in the same site. As the result of comparison, the real occurrence location of slope hazards was similar to the predicted section. Through the continuous study, the accuracy about prediction result of slope hazards will be upgraded and the computer program will be commonly used in practical.

This paper suggests a novel approach of integrating the quasi-distributed watershed model SWAT with the fully-distributed groundwater model MODFLOW. Since the SWAT model has semi distributed features, its groundwater components hardly considers distributed parameters such as hydraulic conductivity and storage coefficient. Generating a detailed representation of groundwater recharge, head distribution and pumping rate is equally difficult. To solve these problems, the method of exchanging the characteristics of the hydrologic response units (HRUs) in SWAT with cells in MODFLOW by fully combined manner is proposed. The linkage is completed by considering the interaction between the stream network and the aquifer to reflect boundary flow. This approach is provisionally applied to Gyungancheon basin in Korea. The application demonstrates a combined model which enables an interaction between saturated zones and channel reaches. This interaction plays an essential role in the runoff generation in the Gyungancheon basin. The comprehensive results show a wide applicability of the model which represents the temporal-spatial groundwater head distribution and recharge.

This paper aims to evaluate the quality characteristics and healing performance of precast concrete incorporating self-healing technology as a key technique for the construction of smart cities. The study found that precast concrete mixed with hybrid capsules exhibited a tendency of reduced slump and air content, impacting the quality characteristics. Specifically, the slump decreased by up to 14 %, and the air content by up to 9 %. Moreover, the inclusion of hybrid capsules in the concrete resulted in a maximum decrease of 16 % in compressive strength and 18 % in flexural strength. However, the introduction of hybrid capsules significantly enhanced the crack healing performance. The assessment through water permeability tests showed that the healing rate of 0.3 mm crack width after a 28-day healing period improved as the mixing ratio increased, with the healing rates at 1 %, 3 %, and 5 % hybrid capsule mixtures observed to increase by approximately 16 %, 25 %, and 32 %, respectively.

The repair technique utilizing surface impregnant is widely used due to its simple construction procedures and economical benefit. Surface protection through this reparing technique cannot increase the bearing capacity of concrete members much but increase the durability performance and service life efficiently. In this study, fundamental tests such as water suction and permeation are performed for concrete specimens with several organic/inorgarnic impregnant and suitable impregnant is selected on the basis of the results. Finally, durability tests such as carbonation, freezing and thawing, and chloride attack are carried out for the concrete specimens with selected impregnant and it is experimentally verified that they have good resistance to deteriorations.
