Richards식을 해석하려면 토양의 수리특성인 물보유함수와 비포화투수계수에 대한 자료가 필요하다. SCS에서 구분한 토양군중 A, B, C에 해당한다고 판단되는 토양시료를 채취하여 각 토양군별로 본 연구에서 개발한 장치를 이용하여 물보유함수를 측정하였고, 또한 정수두법으로 포화투수계수를 측정하였다. 각 토양군을 대표할 수 있는 하나의 물보유함수와 비포화투수계수를 산정하기 위하여 van Genuchten의 물보유함수와 Mualem의 투수계수예측모형을 이용하였다. 각 토양군별로 실측된 자료를 이용하여 van Genuchten식의 매개변수를 추정한 값을 제시하였고, 그와 같은 자료는 미실측지역에서 비포화흐름을 해석하고자할 때 하나의 기준으로 사용될 수 있다.

A two dimensional analysis program for groundwater flow in fractured network was developed to analyze the influence of discontinuity characteristics on groundwater flow. This program involves the generation of discontinuities and also connectivity analysis. The discontinuities were generated by the probabilistic density function(P.D.F.) reflecting the characteristics of discontinuities. And the fracture network model was completed through the connectivity analysis. This program also involves the analysis of groundwater flow through the discontinuity network. The result of numerical experiment shows that the equivalent hydraulic conductivity increased and became closer to isotropic as the density and trace length increased. And hydraulic head decreased along the fracture zone because of much water-flow. The grouting increased the groundwater head around cavern. An analysis of groundwater flow through discontinuity network was performed around underground oil storage cavern which is now under construction. The probabilistic density functions(P.D.F) were obtained from the investigation of the discontinuity trace map. When the anisotropic hydraulic conductivity is used, the flow rate into the cavern was below the acceptable value to maintain the hydraulic containment. But when the isotropic hydraulic conductivity is used, the flow rate was above the acceptable value.

Laboratory experiments were conducted with two different soil conditions to investigate rainfall infiltration characteristics. The soil layer materials that were tested were weathered granite soil and weathered gneiss soil. Artificial rainfall of 80 mm/hr was reproduced through the use of a rainfall device, and the volumetric water content and matric suction were measured. In the case of the granite soil, the saturation velocity and the moving direction of the wetting front were fast and upward, respectively, whereas in the case of the weathered gneiss soil, the velocity and direction were slow and downward, respectively. Rainfall penetrated and saturated from the bottom to the top as the hydraulic conductivity of the granite soil was higher than the infiltration capacity of the artificial rainfall. In contrast, as the hydraulic conductivity of the gneiss soil was lower than the infiltration capacity of the rainfall, ponding occurred on the surface: part of the rainfall first infiltrated, with the remaining rainfall subsequently flowing out. The unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function of weathered soils was determined and analyzed with matric suction and the effective degree of saturation.

Soil hydraulic properties such as hydraulic conductivity or water retention which are costly to measure can be indirectly generated by soil pedotransfer function (PTF) using easily obtainable soil data. The field soil structure description which is routinely recorded could also be used in PTF as an input to reduce the uncertainty. The purposes of this study were to use qualitative morphological soil structure descriptions and soil structural index into PTF and to evaluate their contribution in the prediction of soil hydraulic properties. We transformed categorical morphological descriptions of soil structure into quantitative values using categorical principal component analysis (CATPCA). This approach was tested with a large data set from the US National Pedon Characterization database with the aid of a categorical regression tree analysis. Six different PTFs were used to predict the saturated hydraulic conductivity and those results were averaged to quantify the uncertainty. Quantified morphological description was successively used in multiple linear regression approach to predict the averaged ensemble saturated conductivity. The selected stepwise regression model with only the transformed morphological variables and structural index as predictors predicted the $K_{sat}$ with $r^2$ = 0.48 (p = 0.018), indicating the feasibility of CATPCA approach. In a regression tree analysis, soil structure index and soil texture turned out to be important factors in the prediction of the hydraulic properties. Among structural descriptions size class turned out to be an important grouping parameter in the regression tree. Bulk density, clay content, W33 and structural index explained clusters selected by a two step clustering technique, implying the morphologically described soil structural features are closely related to soil physical as well as hydraulic properties. Although this study provided relatively new method which related soil structure description to soil structure index, the same approach should be tested using a datasets containing the actual measurement of hydraulic properties. More insight on the predictive power of soil structure index to estimate hydraulic properties would be achieved by considering measured the saturated hydraulic conductivity and the soil water retention.

Polyacrylamide (PAM) possesses high water absorption capacity and a unique pH-dependent behavior that confer large potential to enhance the engineering performance of clays. In this study, calcium bentonite was treated with a nonionic PAM. Flexible-wall permeability test and the consolidation test were performed at different pH values to evaluate the effects of PAM treatment on the hydraulic and consolidation properties. Test results demonstrate that index properties are affected by the adsorbed PAM on clay surface: a decrease in specific gravity, a decrease in net zeta potential, and an increase in liquid limit are observed due to the PAM treatment. At a given pH, the compressibility of the treated clay is greater than that of the untreated clay. However, the compression indices of untreated and treated clays can be expressed as a single function of the initial void ratio, regardless of pH. Hydraulic conductivity is reduced by PAM treatment about 5 times at both neutral and alkaline pH conditions under similar void ratios, because of the reduction in size of the water flow channel by PAM expansion. However, at acidic pH, the hydraulic conductivity of the treated clay is slightly higher than the untreated clay. This reflects that the treated bentonite with PAM can be beneficially used in barrier system for highly alkaline residues.

The purposes of this study are to develop three-layered Green-Ampt infiltration model considering temporal variation of physical properties of soil and to evaluate the model with field experiment on bare-tilled and soybean-growing soil plots under natural rainfalls. Infiltration tests were conducted on a sandy loam soil. The model has three-layered soil profile including a surface crust, a tilled layer, a subsoil and considers temporal variation of porosity, hydraulic conductivity, capillary pressure head on a tilled layer by natural rainfalls and canopy density variation of crop. Field measurement of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary presure head on a tilled layer were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter at regular intervals-after tillage. It was found that temporal variation of porosity and average hydraulic conductivity might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity of a tilled soil. The model was calibrated by an optimization technique, Hooke and Jeeves method using hourly surface runoff data. With the calibrated parameters, the model was verified satisfactorily.

This study refers to temporal variation of physical properties of tilled soil under natural rainfalls. Field measurements of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary pressure head on a tilled soil were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter respectively at regular intervals after tillage. Temporal variation of these physical properties were analysed by cumulative rainfall energy since tillage. Field experiment was conducted on a sandy loam soil at Suwon durging April~July in 1989. The followings are a summary of this study results ; 1. Average porosity just after tillage was 0.548cm$^3$/cm$^3$. As cumulative rainfall energy were increased in 0.1070, 0.1755, 0.3849 J/cm$^2$, average porosity were decreased in 0.506, 0.4]95, 0.468m$^3$/cm$^3$ respectively. 2. Average hydraulic conductivity just after tillage was 45.42cm/hr. As cumulative rainfall energy were increased in 0.1755, 0.2466, 0.2978, 0.3849J/cm$^2$ average hydraulic conductivity were decreased in 15.34, 13.47, 9.58, 8.65cm/hr respectively. 3. As average porosity were decreased in 0.548, 0.506, 0.495, 0.468cm$^3$/cm$^3$ average capillary pressure head were increased in 6.1, 6.7, 6.9, 7.4cm respectively. 4. It was found that temporal variation of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity on a tilled soil might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity. 5. The results of this study may be helpful to predict infiltration into a tilled soil more accurately by considering Temporal variation of physical properties of soil.

Hydrologic soil group is one of the important factors to determine runoff potential and curve number. This study was conducted to classify the hydrologic soil groups of Korean soils by considering saturated hydraulic conductivity and depth of impermeable layer. Saturated hydraulic conductivity of Korean soils was estimated by pedotransfer functions developed in the previous studies. Most of paddy soils were classified as D type due to shallow impermeable layer and low saturated hydraulic conductivity in B soil horizon. For upland and forest, soils classified to A and D types increased compared with former classification method because underestimated permeabilities and overestimated drainages were corrected and rock horizon in shallow depth was regarded as impermeable layer. Soils in mountainous land showed the highest distribution in A type, followed by D type. More than 60 % of soils in mountain foot-slope, fan and valley, alluvial plains, and fluvio-marine deposits were classified to D type because of land use such as paddy and upland.

Accurate modeling rainfall induced landslide and slope stability requires a detailed knowledge of the distribution of material strength characteristics and suction distribution. However, material properties obtained from the drying cycle are still used for infiltration analysis in many cases, even though material properties of wetting cycle are quite different from those of drying cycle due to hydraulic hysteresis and air occlusion. Therefore, the selection of proper material properties such as soil-water retention curve (SWRC) and the hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) reflecting characteristics of wetting cycle and air occlusion is an essential prerequisite in order to simulate the infiltration phenomena and to predict the suction and water content distribution in unsaturated soils. It is concluded that the simulation of infiltration with material properties from the drying cycle did not reasonably match with experimental outputs. Further discussion is made on how to describe the material properties considering air occlusion during wetting cycle over the entire suction range in order to simulate infiltration phenomena.

수리 전도도는 수리구배에 대한 플럭스의 비율을 나타내며, 포화된 토양에서의 물의 이동이 포화수리전도도이고 불포화된 토양에서의 이동이 불포화수리전도도이다. 일반적인 밭 상태에서의 토양수분 조건은 불포화수리전도도로 표시하는 것이 적절하나 그 상태를 표현하기가 쉽지 않다. 토양의 불포화 상태를 나타내는데 가장 많이 쓰이고 있는 VGM(van Genuchten Mualem) 모형은 토양수분 포텐셜과 수분함량의 함수로 구성된 모형이며 몇 가지 매개변수가 필요하다. VGM 모형의 매개변수를 얻기 위해 본 연구에서는 VGM 모형의 매개변수를 계산해주는 프로그램인 Rosetta를 사용하였다. Rosetta 모형은 신경그물 얼개(neural network)를 이용하여 토양의 물리적 자료들인 토성이나 모래, 미사, 점토 함량 또는 용적밀도나 33 kPa, 1500 kPa에서의 토양수분 함량 자료를 가지고 VGM의 매개변수인 Ko(effedive saturated hydraulic conductivity), ${\theta}r$(residual soil water content), ${\theta}s$(saturated soil water content), L, n, m(=1-1/n)을 예측하는 모형으로 미국 농무성(USDA-ARS)에서 개발한 프로그램이다. Rosetta를 이용하여 10kPa에서의 불포화수리전도도를 예측하였다. 또한 Gardner와 Wooding의 모형을 기반으로 하여 만들어진 장력침투계의 포화수리전도도 값을 Gardner식에 적용하여 1, 3, 5, 7 kPa에서의 불포화수리전도도 값을 17개 토양통을 대상으로 하여 구했다. 토양수분 potential이 3 kPa에서는 물의 이동이 거의 없는 토양들이 있었는데 반해 남계통을 비롯한 학곡통, 회곡통, 백산통, 상주통, 석천통, 예산통 등 7개의 토양은 3 kPa에서도 약간의 물의 이동이 있었다. 또한, 1 kPa에서 물의 이동은 삼각통에서 $40.8{\times}10^{-5}cm{\cdot}sec^{-1}$로 이동 속도가 가장 컸으며 그 뒤로 예산통, 화봉통, 학곡통, 백산통 등이 토양에서 빠른 속도로 이동하였다. 가천통이나 석천통 및 우곡통은 1 kPa에서의 이동 속도가 아주 느린 토양으로 판단되었다. PTF와 VG모형에 의해 얻어진 10 kPa에서의 수분함량 예측 값을 VGM 모형에 적용해 불포화수리전도도를 구했을 때, VG모형에 의한 예측 값은 존재하는 반면 PTF에 의한 값은 결측 값이 존재해 그 적용에 한계가 있었다. 그리고 1 kPa에서 불포화 수리전도도를 VGM 모형으로 예측한 값과 측정된 값을 Gardner 모형으로 해석한 값을 비교했을 때 자갈이 없는 토양에서는 일정한 경향(exponential 함수)이 존재한 반면, 자갈이 있는 토양에서는 경향을 발견할 수가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 불포화 수리전도도 특성평가에 대한 VGM 모형의 적용성을 살펴보았을 때는 우리나라와 같이 경사지가 많고 토심이 깊지 않으면서 자갈함량이 많은 토양에서는 한계가 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
