Peatland is distributed in China widely, and organic matters in soil frequently induce problems in the construction and maintenance of highway engineering due to the high permeability and compressibility. In this paper, a selected site of Dali-Lijiang expressway was surveyed in China. A numerical model was built to predict the settlement of the foundation of the selected section employing the soft soil creep (SSC) model in PLAXIS 8.2. The model was subsequently verified by the result of field observance. Consequently, the parameters of 17 types of soils from different regions in China with organic contents varying from 1.1-74.9% were assigned to the numerical model to study the settlement characteristics. The calculated results showed that the duration of primary consolidation and proportion of primary settlement in the total settlement decreased with increasing organic content. Two empirical equations, for total consolidation settlement and secondary settlement, were proposed using multiple linear regression based on the calculated results from the numerical models. The analysis results of the significances of certain soil parameters demonstrated that the natural compression index, secondary compression index, cohesion and friction angle have significant linear relevance with both the total settlement and secondary settlement, while the initial coefficient of permeability exerts significant influence on the secondary settlement only.

Soft soil ground is a crucial factor limiting the development of the construction of transportation infrastructure in coastal areas. Soft soil is characterized by low strength, low permeability and high compressibility. However, the ordinary treatment method uses Portland cement to solidify the soft soil, which has low early strength and requires a long curing time. Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging method to address geo-environmental problems associated with geotechnical materials. In this study, a method of bio-cementitious mortars consisting of MICP and cement was proposed to stabilize the soft soil. A series of laboratory tests were conducted on MICP-treated and cement-MICP-treated (C-MICP-treated) soft soils to improve mechanical properties. Microscale observations were also undertaken to reveal the underlying mechanism of cement-soil treated by MICP. The results showed that cohesion and internal friction angles of MICP-treated soft soil were greater than those of remolded soft soil. The UCS, elastic modulus and toughness of C-MICP-treated soft soil with high moisture content (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%) were improved compared to traditional cement-soil. A remarkable difference was observed that the MICP process mainly played a role in the early curing stage (i.e., within 14 days) while cement hydration continued during the whole process. Micro-characterization revealed that the calcium carbonate filling the pores enhanced the soft soil.

The objective of the this study is to find the breakage index and changes in permeability of Bottom ash from thermoelectric power plants in Korea. Bottom ash was crushed by compaction according to compaction energy from 0 to $1661.4\;kN/m^2$. The particle size distribution was estimated by sieve analysis. The various breakage indexes were used for analyzing the change in particle size distribution and effect of compaction energy. In the result, breakage indexes were increased as compaction energy and initial upper 4.75 mm diameter ratio, but values and tendencies of breakage indexes appeared in different as calculation method of breakage indexes. The coefficient of permeability was decreased with particle breakage, but decreasing ratio of permeability was very small. Bottom ash has a higher permeability than the weathered soil and it is considered high usability as a permeable materials.

Self-potential (SP) survey was carried out at Pohang geothermal field. SP measurement showed clear positive anomaly at northern part of the test wells, which can be a up-flow zone of the deep geothermal water due to electrokinetic potential generated by hydrothermal circulation. To give a clearer image of the fluid flow pattern around the test wells, a two-dimensional numerical simulation was applied to construct a numerical block model of the fluid flow system based on SP and magnetotelluric survey results. The result suggests existence of two high permeability zones including the main manifestation area in the northern part of the test wells.

Subsurface biobarrier technology has potential applications to contain contaminated groundwater and/or to degrade toxic pollutants in groundwater. Most biobarrier studies were conducted under aerobic condition, however there were several obstacles to make aerobic condition. Thus, In this study, we examined biobarrier formation under denitrifying condition by using nitrate as an electron acceptor. Experiments were performed with a sand column inoculated with activated sludge from the nearby WWTP. The substrate medium was pumped to the sand column in an upflow mode. During the low substrate loading rate period, the extent of reduction rate in hydraulic conductivity was found similar throughout the column, and permeability became relatively stable after couple of days. However, during the high substrate loading rate period, the column demonstrated a gradient of permeability reduction, with the greatest reduction in sections nearest the column inlet. Rapid growth of microorganisms near the column inlet resulted in the unbalanced reduction of hydraulic conductivity throughout the sand column. As a result, at this denitrifying condition the thickness of biobarrier could be controlled by adjusting the medium conditions of microbial growth.

본 연구는 낙동강 하구 델타 지역의 상부퇴적사질토에 대한 기초적인 연구로 퇴적사질토의 물리적 특성과 세립분 함유율 및 상대밀도에 따른 전단강도와 투수특성에 대해 알아보았다. 전답토층 및 하부연약점토층과 인접한 구간에서 퇴적사질토는 세립분 함유량이 높고, 그 외 구간(일부제외)에서는 5%내외의 세립분을 함유한 것으로 나타났다. 비중은 심도나 위치에 상관없이 거의 일정하고, 퇴적환경에 상관없이 0.1~0.4mm의 가는 모래가 주로 분포하고, 전 구간에서 일라이트 점토광물이 검출되었다. 재성형한 상부퇴적사질토 시료의 직접전단시험 결과 상대밀도가 증가할수록 내부마찰각 및 점착력은 증가하였다. 하지만 상대밀도의 증가에 따른 내부마찰각과 점착력의 증가는 그렇게 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 세립분 함유율의 영향이 크게 나타났는데 모래에 세립분이 증가할수록 내부마찰각은 감소하고, 점착력은 선형적으로 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 상부퇴적사질토의 투수계수는 상대밀도 및 세립분 함유율이 증가할수록 낮아지는데 15% 이상의 세립분이 함유된 모래의 경우 투수계수는 상대밀도의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Compacted clay materials are often used to form barriers for waste disposal by means of landfill. The performance of clay barrier depends on its permeability characteristics under the site environments. The study discusses permeability characteristics of 4 types of permeants through a compacted clayey soil. Permeabilities are measured using the modified rigid-wall permeater and with water, PEG, Ethanol, and TCE, ranging 80 to 3.4 of dielectric constants. Results of the study are as follows : 1) Absolute permeabilities of Ethanol and TCE that their dielectric constants are lower than that of water are $K=1.0{\times} 10^{-12} cm^2$, and $5.8{\times} 10^{-12} cm^2$, respectively, that is, 1.67, and 9.67 times of permeability of water, respectively. Absolute permeability and dielectric constant of water are $K=6{\times} 10^{-13} cm^2$, and 80, respectively. 2) Changes in absolute permeability of Ethanol and TCE converge to a constant after 3.5 pore volume of permeant flows through the clay sample. This can be explained that diffuse double layer of clay is no longer reacted with permeants and contracted their pores. However there is no change in absolute permeability when water is used as a per-meant. 3) It is found that absolute permeability in reversely proportional to the value of dielectric constant of the permeants. Change in absolute permeability of the permeants with 40 or over of dielectric constant is not significant. However change in absolute permeability of the permeant with 30 or lower dielectric constant is abruptly increased. 4) A lower absolute permeability of PEG is found because of its high viscosity.

Volcanic Ash Soils are widely distributed in Jeju island, and constitute the important upland soils which are either presently being cultivated or are suitable for reclaiming. The characteristics of Volcanic Ash Soils according to data made available by previous studies in Jeju and the outside of the country are as following: The most conspicuous mineralogical property is the presence of amorphous mineral colloids. The colloids have large and highly reactive surface to which the common physical and chemical properties are related. Soils are low in bulk density and higher both in porosity and permeability. Accumulation of humus in the upper part of soil is found in great quantity. Cation exchange capacity is high mainly due to high humus content, but the absorbing intensity of ammonium and potassium is weaker than that of crystalline clays. The phosphate absorption coefficient is extremely high and deficiency of minor element may occur both crops and animals. Soils are densely populated with actinomycetes and anaerobic bacteria. Nitrification and activity of urease are distinctly stronger than that of non-Volcanic Ash Soils.

대부분이 산악지 형으로 구성된 부산지 역은 도시의 발달로 인해 산지의 개발이 점차 늘어가는 추세에 있으며, 연구지역인 황령산일대도 개발이 많이 진행되고 있는 지역 중의 하나이다. 도시지 역에서 많은 인명과 재산피해를 초래하는 산사태와 절취사면의 붕괴는 암반특성 못지 않게 토질특성에 영향을 많이 받는다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 1999년 대규모 사면붕괴가 발생되었던 부산 황령산지 역을 대상으로 지질에 따른 토질공학적 특성을 분석하였다. 연구지역의 지질은 백악기 퇴적암과 화산암이 분포하고 있다. 사면의 토층은 점토와 실트가 섞인 모래로 분류되며, 점착력과 내부마찰각은 각각 $0.001\~0.066kg/cm^2$ 및 $32-39^{\circ}$의 범위로서 전단강도가 대체로 높은 지반으로 평가되었다. 투수계수는 $2.34\times10^4\~2.58\times10^{-2}cm/sec$로서 보통정도의 투수성을 가지며, 지질별로는 퇴적암지 역의 투수계수가 화산암지역에 비해 전반적으로 큰 것으로 나타났다.
