Road construction is becoming increasingly important in marine and desert areas due to population growth and economic development. However, the load carrying capacity of pavement is of gear concern to design and geotechnical engineers because of the poor engineering properties of the soils in these areas. Therefore, stabilization of the soils is regarded as an important issue. Besides, due to the fuels combustion and carbonate decomposition, cement industry generates around 5% of global $CO_2$ emission. Thus, using bentonite as a natural pozzolan in soil stabilization is more eco-friendly than using cement. The aim of this research is to experimentally study of the stabilized marine and desert sands using deep mixing method by ordinary Portland cement and sodium bentonite. Different partial percentages of cement along with different weight percentages of sodium bentonite were added to the sands. Unconfined compression test (UCS), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were conducted on the specimens. Moreover, a mathematical model was developed for predicting the strength of the treated soils.

BACKGROUND: Ammonia gas emitted from nitrogen fertilizers applied in agricultural land is an environmental pollutant that catalyzes the formation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). A significant portion (12-18%) of nitrogen fertilizer input for crop cultivation is emitted to the atmosphere as ammonia gas, a loss form of nitrogen fertilizer in agricultural land. The widely practiced method for fertilizer use in agricultural fields involves spraying the fertilizers on the surface of farmlands and mixing those with the soils through such means as rotary work. To test the potential reduction of ammonia emission by nitrogen fertilizers from the soil surface, we have added N, P, and K at 2 g each to the glass greenhouse soil, and the ammonia emission was analyzed. METHODS AND RESULTS: The treatment consisted of non-fertilization, surface spray (conventional fertilization), and soil depth spray at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 cm. Ammonia was collected using a self-manufactured vertical wind tunnel chamber, and it was quantified by the indophenol-blue method. As a result of analyzing ammonia emission after fertilizer treatments by soil depth, ammonia was emitted by the surface spray treatment immediately after spraying the fertilizer in the paddy soil, with no ammonia emission occurring at a soil depth of 10 cm to 30 cm. In the upland soil, ammonia was emitted by the surface spray treatment after 2 days of treatment, and there was no ammonia emission at a soil depth of 15 cm to 30 cm. Lettuce and Chinese cabbage treated with fertilizer at depths of 20 cm and 30 cm showed increases of fresh weight and nutrient and potassium contents. CONCLUSION(S): In conclusion, rather than the current fertilization method of spraying and mixing the fertilizers on the soil surface, deep placement of the nitrogen fertilizer in the soil at 10 cm or more in paddy fields and 15 cm or more in upland fields was considered as a better fertilization method to reduce ammonia emission.

Nitrogen fertilizers applied to agricultural lands for crop cultivation can be volatilized as ammonia. The released ammonia can catalyze the formation of ultrafine dust (particulate matter, PM2.5), classified as a short-lived climate change pollutant, in the atmosphere. Currently, one of the prominent methods for fertilizer application in agricultural lands is soil surface application, which comprises spraying the fertilizers onto the soil surface, followed by mixing the fertilizers with the soil. Owing to the low nitrogen absorption rate of crops, when nitrogen fertilizers are applied in this manner, they can be lost from land surfaces through volatilization. Therefore, investigating a new fertilization method to reduce ammonia emissions and increase the fertilizer utilization efficiency of crops is necessary. In this study, to develop a method for reducing ammonia emissions from nitrogen fertilizers applied to soil surfaces, deep fertilization was conducted using a newly developed deep fertilization device, and ammonia emissions from barley, garlic, and onion fields were examined. Conventional fertilization (surface application) and deep fertilization (soil depth of 25 cm) were conducted for analysis. The fertilization rate was 100% of the standard fertilization rate used for barley, and deep fertilization of N, P, and K fertilizers was implemented. Ammonia emissions were collected using a wind tunnel chamber, and quantified subsequently susing the indole-phenol blue method. Ammonia emissions released from the basal fertilizer application persisted for approximately 58 d, beginning from approximately 3 d after fertilization in conventional treatments; however, ammonia was not released from deep fertilization. Moreover, barley, garlic, and onion yields were higher in the deep fertilization treatment than in the conventional fertilization treatment. In conclusion, a new fertilization method was identified as an alternative to the current approach of spraying fertilizers on the soil surface. This new method, which involves injecting nitrogen fertilizers at a soil depth of 25 cm, has the potential to reduce ammonia emissions and increase the yields of barley, garlic, and onion.

Recently, excavations in highly congest urban area have been increased. For the excavations conducted in extremely narrow spaces, we have been developing a novel soil reinforcement system of temporary retaining walls by using deep cement mixing method. The developing method installs largerdiameter ($\Phi$=300~500mm) and shorter reinforcement blocks than previous reinforcement system for mobilizing friction with soils, therefore it has advantages of not only shortening the length of reinforcement system but also reducing the amount of reinforcement. In this study, we performed a numerical analysis of the new reinforcement system by using a commercial finite element program, and evaluated the behavior of the reinforced retaining wall system under various conditions of the length, the diameter, the spacing, and the angle of the reinforcement system.

비위생 매립지를 정비하는 방법은 여러 가지 공법이 있으나, 지중에 투수성이 매우 낮은 물질을 설치하여 폐기물과 오염된 지하수를 가두고 외부지역의 지하수가 유입되는 것을 차단하는 목적으로 심층혼합차수공법 형태의 연직 차수벽이 많이 설치된다. 국내에서 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 심층혼합 차수공법의 차수재료는 특수시멘트 계열의 고화재를 많이 사용하고 있으며, 이때 고화재 투입량은 차수재의 법적 설치기준인 투수계수가 1.0x$10^{7}$cm/sec 이하이어야 하므로 현장토의 여건에 따라 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 흙의 통일분류법상 SW-SC로 분류된 현장토를 대상으로 고화재를 활용한 혼합 차수벽 형성에서의 적정 고화재 투입량 및 최적 함수비를 결정하고 고화재를 개량할 수 있는 물질로서 비산재와 석회를 선정하여 적절한 혼합비로 고화재에 첨가함으로써 혼합 차수재의 기능 향상에 대한 방안을 검토하였다. 연구결과, 심층 혼합 차수공법에서 차수재의 고화재 적정 배합비율은 투수계수 실험을 통하여 13%가 적절한 것으로 나타났으며, 이 때 시공성을 용이하게 하기 위한 배합수비는 고화재 : 물의 비가 1 : 1.5가 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 도출된 기본적인 배합비를 기준으로 비산재와 석회를 첨가한 혼합 차수재의 강도와 투수능을 평가한 결과, 고화재(시멘트) 대신 첨가재(비산재:석회 = 70:30)를 20~40% 정도 첨가하여 사용한다면 고화재만을 사용하는 경우보다 더 낮은 투수능을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 혼합 차수재의 중금속 고정능 평가에서는 고화재(시멘트)만을 혼합할 때와 상응하는 중금속 고정능력이 있었으며, 환경적 위해성 평가를 위한 중금속 용출 실험에서도 용출농도는 규제치 이하임을 알 수 있었다.의 값이 모두 광릉이 높고 남산이 낮은(mesh size 1.7mm>광릉 mesh size 0.4 mm>남산 mesh size 1.7 mm) 일관된 경향을 나타냈다. 이는 날개응애 군집의 종 다양성은 광릉지역이 남산지역에 비해 더 높다는 결론을 도출할 수 있는 것이었다. 낙엽주머니내 출현종의 우점종과 출현빈도 분석결과, 각 조사구의 우점종들은 전체 밀도의 70%이상을 차지하고 있어 비중이 매우 높은 것들로 나타났고, 최고 우점종은 mesh size 1.7mm의 남산과 광릉 조사구에서 Tricho-galumna nipponica로 동일했고, 광릉 mesh size 0.4 mm에서는 이 종보다 크기가 작은 Ramusella sengbuschi가 최고 우점종이었다. 그리고 낙엽주머니내에 밀도와 출현빈도가 높아 낙엽분해에 직,간접적으로 크게 관여하는 날개응애 종들로는 Tricogalumna nipponica, Epidamaeus coreanus, Scheloribates latipes, Ceratozetes japonicus, Ramusella sengbuschi, Eohypochthonius crassisetiger, Cultroribula lata 등을 선발할 수 있었다.X>$_4$$^{2－}$ 및 HCO$_3$$^{-}$ 각각의 관계에 의하면. 남부지역과 서북부지역 얘서 모두 염수의 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타난다.worm by topical aprication. 3.

Thick soft clay deposits which are generally located at the west and south coast of the Korean peninsula have complicated characteristics according to their orientation and formation history. Thus, several geotechnical problems could possibly occur when those soft clay deposits are used as foundations for marine structures. Deep cement mixing (DCM) method is one of the most widely used soft soil improvement method for various marine structures, nowadays. DCM method injects binders such as cement into the soft ground directly and mixes with the in-situ soil to improve the strength and other geotechnical properties sufficiently. However, the natural impacts induced by dynamic motions such as ocean waves, wind, typhoon, and tusnami give significant influences on the stability of marine structures and their underlaying foundations. Thus, the dynamic properties become important design criteria to insure the seismic stability of marine structures. In this study, the dynamic behavior of cemented Busan clay is evaluated. Laboratory unconfined compression test and resonant column test are performed on natural in-situ soil and cement mixed specimens to confirm the strength and strain-dependent dynamic behavior variation induced by cement mixing treatment. Results show that the unconfined compressive strength and shear modulus increase with curing time and cement content increment. Finally, the optimized cement mixing ratio for sufficient dynamic stability is obtained through this study. The results of this study are expected to be widely used to improve the reliability of seismic design for marine structures.

Vertical reinforcement of soft soils using the deep mixing method has received increasing applications. In this study, the theory of elasticity and plasticity including the upper bound theorem of limit analysis were used to derive the equations for obtaining composite elastic properties and shear strength parameters. The developed equations were validated using the finite element computer program SAGE CRISP. The analysis involved 4 different cases-two different type of soil and replacement ratios. Tile results of the analysis show that the proposed equations could determine the properties of composite material for practical applications.

This paper presents procedure and prediction method of internal and external stabilities when designing D.C.M, with main factors to be considered, such as chemical reaction of additive, physical properties of stabilized body and mixing strength. Results show that through case studies, a design unconfined compressive strength of stabilized body (hereafter referred to as 'compressive strength') directly depends on the quantity of cement, which is decided by laboratory test, and the compressive strength enormously affects internal and external stabilities. So laboratory mixing test to obtain the compressive strength for design allowable stress should be given careful considerations.
