  • Quantifying rates of microbial processes under subsurface conditions is difficult, and is most commonly approximated by laboratory studies using aquifer materials. In this study a single-well, 'push-pull' test method is adapted for the in situ determination of denitrification rates in groundwater aquifers. The rates of stepwise reduction of nitrate to nitrite, nitrous oxide, and molecular nitrogen were determined by performing a series of push-pull tests at an experimental well field of Korea University. A single Transport Test, one Biostimulation Test, and four Activity Tests were conducted for this study. Transport tests are conducted to evaluate the mobility of solutes used in subsequent tests. These included bromide (a conservative tracer), fumarate (a carbon and/or source), and nitrate (an electron acceptor). At this site, extraction phase breakthrough curves for all solutes were similar, indicating apparent conservative transport of the solutes prior to biostimulation. Biostimulation tests were conducted to stimulate the activity of indigenous heterotrophic denitrifyinc microorganisms. Biostimulation was detected by the simultaneous production of carbon dioxide and nitrite after each injection. Activity tests were conducted to quantify rates of nitrate, nitrite, and nitrous oxide reduction. Estimated zero-order degradation rates decreased in the order nitrate '||'&'||'gt; nitrite '||'&'||'gt; nitrous oxide. The series of push-pull tests developed and field tested in this study should prove useful for conducting rapid, low-cost feasibi1ity assessments for in situ denitrification in nitrate-contaminated aquifers.

  • For a deltaic clay in the mouth of the Nakdong river, OCR was investigated through methods using the results of field measurement, laboratory and field soil tests. As a result, OCRs were obtained around the range of 0.95 to 1.20 by analysis of field measurements, although they were estimated around the values of 0.4 to 0.7 by the results of conventional consolidation tests for the clay. From the dissipation test it was found out that the excess pore pressures scarcely existed in the clay deposit and then the soil was not in the underconsolidated condition. And the OCRs obtained through methods of Mayne(1991) and Cao et al(1996) using the piezocone test and of Mayne & Kemper(1988) using the cone penetration test were in good agreement with those of field measurement.

  • In this research, the shear behavior of four different interfaces consisting of 4 types of geosynthetics was examined, and both static and dynamic tests for the geosynthetic interface were conducted. The monotonic shear experiments were performed by using an inclined board apparatus and large direct shear device. The interface shear strength obtained from the inclined board tests were compared with those calculated from large direct shear tests. The comparison results indicated that direct shear tests are likely to overestimate the shear strength in low normal stress range where direct shear tests were not performed. Curved failure envelopes were also obtained for interface cases where two static shear tests were conducted. By comparing the friction angles measured from three tests, i.e. direct shear, inclined board, and shaking table tests, it was found that the friction angle might be different depending on the test method and normal stresses applied in this research. Therefore, it was concluded that the testing method should be determined carefully by considering the type of loads and the normal stress expected in the field.

  • The real strength evvelope for soils without cemetation goes through the origin and is curved. The Mohr -Coulomb failure criterion with the strength parameters c' and ø' from conventional tests overestimates the shear strength available at low normal stresses. The results of laboratory tests interpreted in terms of the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion are not appropriate for evaluation of surficial slope stability , because the range of effective normal stresses in the field are not used in the laboratory tests.

  • In sheet metal forming numerical analysis, the strain hardening equation has a significant effect on calculation results, especially in the field of spring-back. This study introduces the Kim-Tuan strain hardening model. This model represents sheet material behavior over the entire strain hardening range. The proposed model is compared to other well known strain hardening models using a series of uniaxial tensile tests. These tests are performed to determine the stress-strain relationship for Al6016-T4, DP980, and CP Ti sheets. In addition, the Kim-Tuan model is used to integrate the CP Ti sheet strain hardening equation in ABAQUS analysis to predict spring-back amount in a bending test. These tests highlight the improved accuracy of the proposed equation in the numerical field. Bending tests to evaluate prediction accuracy are also performed and compared with numerical analysis results.

  • Bottom ash classifies as a hazardous industrial-waste material that adversely affects human health. This study proposes its mixing with controlled low strength materials (CLSM) as a probable recycling approach. To this end, experiments have been performed to investigate the applicability of bottom-ash-based CLSM that comprises eco-friendly soil binders, water, fly ash, and a combination of bottom ash and weathered granite soil. The physical and chemical properties of the weathered granite soil, bottom ash, fly ash, and soil binders are analyzed via laboratory tests, including X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. To determine an appropriate CLSM mixing proportion, the flowability test is first performed on three mixture types having three replacement ratios of fly ash each. Subsequently, compressive-strength tests are performed. Based on the results of these tests, four mixtures are selected for the freeze-and-thaw test to determine the appropriate mixing proportion. Finally, the ground model and soil-contamination tests are performed to examine the field applicability of the mixture. This study confirms that bottom-ash-based CLSM causes negligible soil contamination, and it satisfies the prescribed performance requirements and contamination standards in Korea.

  • In the present study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the PSN(Pretension Soil Nailing) system is proposed. Effects of various factors related to the design of the pretension soil nailing system, such as the length of a sheathing pipe and the fixed cone, are examined throughout a series of the displacement-controlled field pull-out tests. 9 displacement-controlled field pull-out tests are performed in the present study and the pretension forces are also evaluated based on the measurements. In addition, both short-term and long-term characteristics of pull-out deformations of the newly proposed PSN system are analyzed and compared with those of the general soil nailing system by carrying out the stress-controlled field pull-out tests. A numerical approach is further made to determine a postulated failure surface as well as a minimum safety factors of the proposed PSN system using the shear strength reduction technique and the $FLAC^{2D}$ program. Global minimum safety factors and local safety factors at various excavation stages computed in case of the PSN system are analyzed throughout comparisons with the results expected in case of the general soil nailing system. An efficiency of the PSN system is also dealt with by analyzing the wall-facing deformations and the adjacent ground surface settlements.
