Vertical drain has usually been used to accelerate the consolidation of soft clay deposits with high moisture content. Busan thick clay deposits are subjected to artesian pressure from an aquifer in sand and gravel layers. However, effect of artesian pressure existing in drainage-installed soft ground on consolidation behaviors is not well known. This paper investigates the consolidation behavior of drainage-installed soft ground at the Nakdong river estuary with artesian pressure and without artesian pressure. A series of one-dimensional large size column test was carried out to find out the consolidation characteristics of clay. Test results indicated that total settlement of clay with artesian pressure was higher than that without artesian pressure because effective stress decreased due to upward flow. Dissipation rate of excess pore water pressure delayed and excess pore water pressure did not fully dissipate in clay layer with artesian pressure. Undrained shear strength of clay ground with artesian pressure was lower than that without artesian pressure.

지표수 수자원은 다른 형태의 수자원에 비하여 경제성은 우수하나 환경 훼손, 시공간적 변동성에 대한 취약성, 각종 수질 위협요소에 노출되는 단점 을 가지고 있다. 지표수 수자원과는 달리 Aquifer Storage Transportation and Recovery (ASTR) System을 이용한 지하저수지는 수자원의 안전한 확보, 환경문제 등의 측면에서 새로운 대안으로 제시되고 있다. '청정지하저수지연구단'에서 연구하고 있는 '대규모청정지하저수지'는 피압대수층에 담수를 주입하여 형성된 담수체를 수자원으로 이용한다. 본 연구는 피압대수층 주입정 및 양수정 운영에 따른 지반영향을 연구하였다. 과거 지반변형을 고려하지 않은 무분별한 피압대수층의 지하수 개발로 태국, 중국 등지에서 심각한 지반침하를 야기하였으며 이에 대한 대책으로 인공함양이 이루어진바 있다. 피압대수층 상부에 위치한 점토층은 지반변형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치며 점토층의 변형 혹은 파괴 시 지하수 이용 및 인간의 활동에도 영향을 끼칠 수가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 주입 및 양수가 점토층에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 지반변형을 허용 범위 내로 국한시키기 위해서 피압대수층에 가할 수 있는 최대 수위변화량을 산정하는 데 있다. 양수로 수두가 감소하는 경우 유효응력 증가에 따른 지반침하가 우려되며, 주입으로 수두가 상승하는 경우 지반파괴가 야기될 수 있다.

This study investigated the effect of artesian pressure on mechanical properties of deep cement mixing (DCM)-improved specimens. Various laboratory tests such as unconfined compression test and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were conducted on DCM specimens which curied in a water tank with different artesian pressures. The artesian pressure was determined in consideration of the laboratory scale and the hydraulic gradient in field conditions. Results of experimental tests indicated that unconfined compressive strength, secant modulus, and unit weight of specimen decreased and water content tended to increase as an artesian pressure increased. The stress-strain behavior changed brittle to ductile behaviors as an artesian pressure increased. The outflow water from the water tank reacted with the phenolphthalein solution due to the leaching phenomenon of the improved specimen. SEM analysis also confirmed that a small amount of ettringite was formed between soil particles in the specimens with artesian pressure.

Many researchers reported that artesian pressure exists in thick soft ground of Busan Nakdong river estuary. Artesian pressure in soft ground could affect rate of consolidation, settlement and drainage capasity of prefabricated vertical drain(PVD). This paper investigated consolidation behaviors of soft ground with partially penetrated PVD subjected to artesian pressure. Laboratory tests with 1-dimensional large column equipment and their numerical analyses were carried out. Test results showed that the consolidation settlement of clay ground with artesian pressure was higher than that without artesian pressure. Due to artesian pressure, the dissipation rate of excess pore water pressure was reduced in soft ground with artesian pressure, especially at bottom part of clay ground. Numerical results were in good agreement with experimental test results.

This paper performed consolidation tests on soft ground with and without artesian pressure conditions to find out characteristics of leaching effects using two types of one-dimensional column equipment(height : 1,100mm, outer diameter : 250mm). Artesian pressure of 5.5kPa was applied to the bottom of soft ground inside column equipment. Distribution of salinity and shear strength with soil depth were measured after the consolidation test. From the results, it was found that distribution of undrained shear strength and salt concentrations were similar at the top of clay ground irrespective of artesian pressure condition. However, at the bottom of clay ground, the values of undrained shear strength and salt concentration under artesian pressure were lower than those without artesian pressure. This result indicates that structure of soft soil with artesian pressure was weakened by salt leaching. Electronic resistance results showed that void ratio under artesian pressure condition was more reduced than that without artesian pressure condition.

The origin of nitrate in confined groundwater was studied using oxygen ($\delta$180), hydrogen ($\delta$D), and nitrogen ($\delta$15N) stable isotopes, along with chemical data of NO3-N. We analyzed groundwaters from more than sixty manufactories producing natural mineral waters around the country During the period of 1998-2001, an average value of nitrate was fair]y low (0.95 mg/$\ell$), however, groundwaters from six sites showed more than 2 mg/$\ell$ of nitrate. The stable isotope data of the groundwaters are -8.3~-11 $\textperthousand$ $\delta$8O, -60~-75 $\textperthousand$ $\delta$D, which lies in an average range of the groundwaters. The nitrogen isotope data with -11.8~-5.1$\textperthousand$ $\delta$15N suggest that manure, organic nitrate, and fertilizers can not be the origin of nitrate in the goundwaters.

Most of hot springs don't spring out naturally but are pumped by submersible pumps in Korea. When pumped piezometric head in a well is dropped with proportion to quantity. This research investigates relationships between quantity and drawdown at the Onyang hot spring area. There are 38 wells at this area and the depths of wells range from 124 m to 303 m. Piezometric heads of 4 wells were observed for about 10 months. Fluctuation patterns of piezometric heads seem to be a sine curve with a you period by a high demand and a slack season. Drawdowns of fluctuations were about 98-139 m depth to water table when wells were pumped at $2,300-4,800m^3/day$. A equation was made through analyzing quantity and drawdown.
