The recent huge earthquake ground motion records in Japan result in the reconsideration of seismic design forces for nuclear power stations from the view point of seismological research. In addition, the seismic design force should be defined also from the view point of structural engineering. In this paper it is shown that one of the occurrence mechanisms of such large acceleration in recent seismic records (recorded in or near massive structures and not free-field ground motions) is due to the interaction between a massive building and its surrounding soil which induces amplification of local mode in the surface soil. Furthermore on-site investigation after earthquakes in the nuclear power stations reveals some damages of soil around the building (cracks, settlement and sand boiling). The influence of plastic behavior of soil is investigated in the context of interaction between the structure and the surrounding soil. Moreover the amplification property of the surface soil is investigated from the seismic records of the Suruga-gulf earthquake in 2009 and the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake in 2011. Two methods are introduced for the analysis of the non-stationary process of ground motions. It is shown that the non-stationary Fourier spectra can detect the temporal change of frequency contents of ground motions and the displacement profile integrated from its acceleration profile is useful to evaluate the seismic behavior of the building and the surrounding soil.

This paper has attempted to investigate the change in soil moisture volume and temperature of architecture by planting ground(soil thickness and soil mixture ratio) and ground cover plants(Sedum sarmentosum, Zoysia japonica, Chrysanthemum zawadskii) for middle region green roof system. For this, a test was conducted on the roof of Konkuk University building from April 2009 to October 2009. In terms of treatment, five types(SL, $P_7P_1L_2$, $P_6P_2L_2$, $P_5P_3L_2$, $P_4P_4L_2$) depending on soil mixture ratio and two types(15cm, 25cm) by soil depth were created. Results of soil moisture volume by soil mixture ratio in the 15cm soil thickness showed that the difference was significance between simple soil and mixture soil treatment, however, the statistical significance was not recognized according to soil mixture ratio. In case of 25cm soil thickness, soil moisture volume by soil mixture ratio was more higher 7Vol.%~10Vol.% in the mixture soil than simple soil treatment. In terms of districts planted ground cover plants, soil volume moisture differed among plants in the order Zoysia japonica 17.74 Vol.%$34.86^{\circ}C$, district non-planted $27.49^{\circ}C$, Sedum sarmentosum $25.11^{\circ}C$, Chrysanthemum zawadskii $23.08^{\circ}C$, Zoysia japonica $24.45^{\circ}C$ respectively So, concrete surface showed more higher $5^{\circ}C{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ than other things among the all the time. Result of inner temperature of the architecture and soil, it was measured inner of architecture $25.69^{\circ}C$, inner district non-planted $24.29^{\circ}C$, Chrysanthemum zawadskii $23.90^{\circ}C$, Zoysia japonica $24.02^{\circ}C$, Sedum sarmentosum $25.13^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Storing and transferring heat in soils is governed by the soil thermal properties and these properties are therefore needed in many engineering applications, including horizontal ground heat exchanger for ground-coupled heat pumps. This paper presents the evaluation results of the ground subsurface temperature and apparent thermal diffusivity of soils by using ground temperature data collected at the depths of 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 3.0 m, and 5.0 m at four sites. The existing correlation assuming that the soil was homogeneous and of constant thermal diffusivity was applied to calculate the subsurface temperature and two analytical equations, amplitude and phase equation, were also used to evaluate the soil apparent thermal diffusivity. Comparison of the estimated and of the measured values of the subsurface temperature has shown that the empirical correlation predicts quite accurately the ground temperature at various depths. Based on the one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the apparent thermal diffusivity can be estimated by the two equations.

이 연구의 목적은 녹화를 위한 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 인공지반 녹화 시 고려해야 할 기술적 사항은 건물에 미치는 하중과 식물의 생육에 관한 것이다. 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 펄라이트와 자연토양이 혼합된 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 하중으로 인한 영향을 분석하였다. 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 하중은 인공지반이 포화되었을 때 최대가 되며, 강우강도가 인공지반의 침투능을 증가할 때 인공지반이 포화된다. 인공지반의 포화 여부를 판정하기 위하여 강우 강도는 도시배수시설물 설계에 이용되는 10년 빈도 10분 강우 강도를 이용하였고, 침투능은 정수위투수계수 측정법을 이용하여 산정하였다. 인공토 및 혼합토는 그 비율에 따라 투수계수가 변하며, 특히 다짐 정도에 따라 변동이 큰 것으로 나타났으나, 대부분의 경우 재현기간 10년의 10분 강우강도를 초과하지는 않았다. 따라서 인공지반의 포화단위중량을 구조물 설계의 설계하중으로 적용하여야 함을 알 수 있다.

The improvement effect of soft ground is estimated by unconfined strength mainly. The unconfined strength of solidification agent treated soil is likely to vary with ununiformed mixing ratio and water content change of in-situ ground place by place. So, it is unreasonable to apply a solidification agent mixing ratio obtained from laboratory test results on all over the soft ground. In this study, it was analysed how the unconfined strength would be effected by the water content of soft ground. For this study, a series of unconfined compressive tests are peformed on various water content soil samples. The test results showed that the strength was fallen to 30∼80% by two times increase of water content approximately, This means that strength of solidification agent treated soil is influenced greatly by water content of raw soft ground and mixing ratio of solidification agent. It was suggested that the method how to decide the mixing ratio with soft ground water content.

This paper deals with the transient ground impedance of small-sized needle-rod installed in a test field, Impulse voltage generator was used to inject lightning impulse on a ground electrode and modified fall-of potential method was proposed to measure the high ground potential rise. Transient ground impedance was analysed with impedance curve and I-V curve as respects the resistivity of soil. Soil ionization near the ground electrode is activated in high resistivity soil and have an effect on the reduction of transient ground impedance significantly.

There is the freezing method as one of the ground improvement methods for excavating an underground tunnel, and due to its improved reliability, recently construction cases of applying this method into sandy soil grounds as well as cohesive soil grounds of cities have been reported. But, applying the freezing method into cohesive soil grounds could bring concerns of the expansion of the whole ground and the settlements from thawing of ground. In this study, the deformation strength characteristics of cohesive soil which received freezing and thawing hysteresis were examined using the sample collected from the site of cohesive soil ground applied with the freezing method and its structural characteristics were analyzed using an electronic microscope. And, the test with cohesive soil reconstituted from cohesive soil which received freezing and thawing hysteresis was carried out and its result was analyzed comparatively. The result of this test showed that the structure of natural clay was significantly changed due to freezing and thawing hysteresis.

본 논문은 토양의 방전 영역에서 소규모 접지전극의 과도접지임피던스의 측정결과를 제시한다. 접지전극 주변에서 이온화 특성을 사실적으르 분석하기 위해서 세 가지 형상의 접지전극을 실외에 설치하고, 고전압 임펄스 발생기를 사용하여 시험전류를 인가하였다. 정지전극에서 대지로 흐르는 전류와 응답 전압을 분석한 결과, 접지전극 주변의 이온화는 높은 대지저항률률의 토양에서 접지임피던스 감소에 기여하며 대지전위상승을 효과적으로 제한하는 것이 확인된다. 하지만 낮은 대지저항률의 토양에서는 이온화 임계전계강도가 작아서 전극 형상이 과도접지임피던스에 거의 영향을 주지 못한다. 그리고 전극형상에 따른 실험결과, 판전극보다 침부봉전극이 이온화 영역 전압범위 내에서 과도접지임피던스 저감에 보다 효과적이다.

Benzophenone (BZP) and 4-nitrotoluene (4-NT) listed as endocrine disrupting chemicals are suspected to contaminate ground water sites and soil. Analytical method for simultaneous determination of the two chemicals in soil and ground water was developed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Water (100 ml) was extracted with hexane, and soil (10 g) was extracted with methanol and hexane. Recovery in water was >72% for BZP and 90-118% for 4-NT. Recovery for 4-NT and BZP in soil was 51-59% with coefficient variation of less than 19.5%. Calibration curves showed a good linearity with $r^2=0.997$. In water and soil collected at nation-wide sites, BZP was found at 5 sites among 43 water sites at the concentration of $14.87{\pm}3.83ng/100 ml$. No 4-NT was found. It is suggested that this method is appropriate to the simultaneous quantitation of 4-NT and BZP in ground water and soil samples.
