The Honam-Jeju, Korea-Japan, and Korea-China subsea tunnel construction projects have drawn significant attention since the early 2000s. These subsea tunnels are much deeper than most existing natural shallow sea tunnels linking coastal areas. Thus, the need for developing new technologies for the site selection and construction of deep subsea tunnels has recently emerged, with the launch of a research project titled "Development of Key Subsea Tunnelling Technology" in 2013. A component of this research, an analysis of deep subsea geological structure, is currently underway. A ground investigation, such as a borehole or geophysical investigation, is generally carried out for tunnel design. However, when investigating a potential site for a deep subsea tunnel, borehole drilling requires equipment at the scale of offshore oil drilling. The huge cost of such an undertaking has raised the urgent need for methods to indirectly assess the local geological structure as much as possible to limit the need for repeated borehole investigations. This study introduces an indirect approach for assessing the geological structure of the seafloor through a submarine bathymetry analysis. The ultimate goal here is to develop an automated approach to the analysis of submarine geological structures, which may prove useful in the selection of future deep subsea tunnel sites.

Geotechnical data contributes substantially to the cost of engineering projects due to increasing cost of site investigations. Existing information in the form of soil maps can save considerable time and expenses while deciding the scope and extent of site exploration for a proposed project site. This paper presents spatial interpolation of data obtained from soil investigation reports of different construction sites and development of soil maps for geotechnical characterization of Multan area using ArcGIS. The subsurface conditions of the study area have been examined in terms of soil type and standard penetration resistance. The Inverse Distance Weighting method in the Spatial Analyst extension of ArcMap10 has been employed to develop zonation maps at different depths of the study area. Each depth level has been interpolated as a surface to create zonation maps for soil type and standard penetration resistance. Correlations have been presented based on linear regression of standard penetration resistance values with depth for quick estimation of strength and stiffness of soil during preliminary planning and design stage of a proposed project in the study area. Such information helps engineers to use data derived from nearby sites or sites of similar subsoils subjected to similar geological process to build a preliminary ground model for a new site. Moreover, reliable information on geometry and engineering properties of underground layers would make projects safer and economical.

Many materials including cementitious concrete-type materials undergo material property changes during high-rate loading. There is a wealth of research regarding this phenomenon for concrete in compression and tension. However, there is minimal knowledge about how mortar material used in concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction behaves in high-rate shear loading. A series of experiments was conducted to examine the bond strength of mortar bonded to CMU units under high-rate shear loading. A novel experimental setup using a shock tube and dynamic ram were used to load specially constructed shear triplets in a double lap shear configuration with no pre-compression. The Finite Element Method was leveraged in conjunction with data from the experimental investigation to establish if the shear bond between concrete masonry units and mortar exhibits any rate dependency. An increase in shear bond strength was observed when loaded at a high strain rate. This data indicates that the CMU-mortar bond exhibits a rate dependent strength change and illustrates the need for further study of the CMU-mortar interface characteristics at high strain rates.

A database program, named Geoscope, was developed to effectively manage the enormous boreholes log data produced during the geotechnical investigation works in construction and mining Industry This program was designed to give a maximum conveniences to the end users when dealing with the geotechnical data obtained. Most of the values related to geotechnlcal attributes can be selected by a simple click of the mouse in list boxes or small windows provided by the program. Logging chart is automatically created at the same time as the input of the data in the form designated by the user. The made file format and the relational database system adopted in this program, furthermore, can allow the data to be associated with other GIS programs.

In this paper, 4 representative soft clayey soils in south Korea are selected to estimate the geotechnical characteristics and provide the instructions avaliable for construction works; Inchon Coast, Kum River Estuary, Kwangyang Bay, and Nakdong River Estuary. Total 2250 boring data are collected to construct the data base system on selected areas from Korea geotech DB system, scientific journals, theses, and site investigation reports. Considering the geological, topographical and regional features, geotechnical properties, deformation and strength characteristics of 4 soft clayey soils are evaluated by analyzing the constructed DB system statistically.

Recently in spite of Development of Investigation machine, in Application of Geotechnical Properties by empirical recommendation to the Slope Stability Analysis. It is generally Application of convenience and conservative Geotechnical Properties by Borehole Shear Test(BST) in Representative Zone that Non-Division of Increase as the depth of Strength Parameters In Deep Weathered Zone. Therefore, it is become environment pollution and Non-Economical Slope Design to Application of convenience and conservative Geotechnical Properties. The production mechanism of Deep Weathered Zone is tend to Weathering Degree low and Strength increase by increase as the depth. it is realistic design that Division of Deep Weathered Zone and application Geotechnical Properties of Each Layer. In this Paper, Determined The Relationship of Strength Parameters between Standard Penetration Test(SPT), Borehole Shear Test(BST) and empirical recommendation also Applyed each strength parameters of divided zone to the Slope Stability Analysis by continuous Borehole Shear Test(BST) in Deep Weathered Zone during design of The 2nd Bridge Connection Road of Incheon International Airport.

Great concerns on geotechnical risk & hazard assessment have been increased due to human and economic damage by natural disasters with recent global climate changes. In this paper, geotechnical problems in particular, landslides which is interested in European countries and North America, were mainly discussed. For these, 18 key topics on geotechnical risk and hazards which had been discussed at the LARAM 2008 workshop in Italy were analyzed after grouping by subjects. Main topic contents consisted of applications such as field measurement, early warning systems, uncertainty analysis of parameters using radar, optical data and statistical theory and so on. And the problems related to analysis of vulnerability and deformation due to earthquakes, investigation of gas zone using seismic reflection data in a landslide area, risk quantification and hazard assessment of landslide movements and multi-dimensional analysis for stability of complex slopes were attracted. Also, there were studies on risk matters of cultural heritage, the blockglide of clayey ground, simulations of debris flows based on GIS, quantification of the failure processes of rock slopes, a meshless method for 3D crack modelling, and finally risk assessment for cryological processes due to global warming.

Cross-borehole electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is an effective groundwater detection tool in geophysical investigations. In this paper, an artificial water injection test was conducted on a small clay sample, where the high-resolution cross-borehole ERT was used to investigate the moisture migration law over time. The moisture migration path can be two-dimensionally imaged based on the relationship between resistivity and saturation. The hydraulic conductivity was estimated, and the magnitude ranged from 10^-11 m/s to 10^-9 m/s according to the comparison between the simulation flow and the saturation distribution inferred from ERT. The results indicate that cross-borehole ERT could help determine the resistivity distribution of small size clay samples. Finally, the cross-borehole ERT technique has been applied to investigate the self-sealing characteristics of clay.
