  • 영광지역에는 대규모 해안사구가 형성되어 있지만 형성작용은 멈춰있다. 현재 인간의 점유로 많은 부분이 해체되어 있지만, 송림으로 덮인 사구가 남아 있다. 겨울 북서풍에 마주하고 있으며, 전면은 일직선인데 배후는 굴곡지어진 헤어핀 모양을 하고 있다. 사구의 지형적 특징을 밝히기 위해 노두의 관찰, 입도분석, 표면분석 등을 실시하였다. 특히 입도분석은 서해안의 다른 사빈과 사구지역도 함께 실시하였다. 사질 단면 노두에서는 사질층의 교란이 있다. 이런 교란의 형태는 cryoturbation과 유사하고 사구의 형성 시기는 300~400년 전으로 추정되어 소빙기와 관련성이 사료된다. 입도분석과 형태 및 분석에서 영광 해안 사구퇴적물의 입자는 주로 세립질의 모래가 중심으로 되어 있다 극히 일부의 조립사도 있지만 대부분의 입자가 고운 세립질이 중심이다. 분급은 그리 좋은 편이 아니다. 대체로 서해안의 사빈과 사구의 퇴적물이 입도가 거의 비슷한 세립질의 모래들로 이루어졌다. 실체현미경을 이용한 사구사의 분석은 석영의 비율이 전체적으로 70~80%에 이르고, 전체적으로 원마도는 sub-angular가 주로 많이 나타난다. 또한 원마도나 V자형 crack에서 풍화환경이 기계적 풍화환경에 놓여 있음을 보여주고 있다. 끝으로 영광의 해안사구는 다른 지역과 달리 인간의 점유가 일찍 시작되고 역사적 기록이 남아 있음과 동시에 현재의 지명들이 사구와 모래와 관련성이 매우 크게 나타나므로 사구의 이용에 따른 촌락의 형성과정이 이루어지고 있는 사회와 문화화된 경관지역으로 가치가 있다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 태안반도 신두해안사구의 유효풍속과 지형변화의 관계를 밝히는 것이다. 퇴적물의 유동은 8개의 횡단면에서 침식핀을 이용하여 1999년 7월부터 2000년 7월까지 고도변화를 측정한 후 계산되었다. 연구결과가 시사하는 바는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사구지역에서의 지형변화와 유효풍속에 근거하여 퇴적기와 침식기가 구분되었다. 퇴적기는 11월부터 4월까지로 모래의 집적이 주로 전사구에서 일어났으며 순차적으로 사구평지로 이어졌다. 침식기는 5월부터 10일까지로 전사구의 말단부에서 소규모 침식과 퇴적이 반복되는 패턴을 보였다. 둘째. 조사기간 동안 조사지역에서의 전체 퇴적물수지는 $10.2\;m^3$/m/yr로 잉여로 나타났으나 지역적인 차이가 나타났다. 이차사구에서는 결핍되는 곳도 나타났다. 사구지역의 북단에서는 모래의 공급이 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 반면 중앙부와 남부지역에서는 모래의 공급이 빈약했다.

  • The Okjukdong dune in Daecheong Island attracts national attention because of its unique landscape that is not covered by vegetation. However, there has been little knowledge on the timing of the dune formation, associated wind regime, and conservational strategies. In this study, we used OSL dating and grain size analyses to reveal the history of the dune development. In addition, we analyzed the wind regime in the dunefield which is surrounded by artificial coastal forest. The fine sand at Okjukdong underlain by a colluvial gravel layer indicates that the dune has been developed since at least 5 ka. Aeolian sands were found to be deposited around 700 years ago. The dunefield appears to have been severely eroded 30~60 years ago. The dune landscape has been destroyed after constructing a windbreak forest around the dunefield. The sand seems to be moving south and north with the season.

  • The principal objective of this study is to deepen the characterization studies already led on sand concretes in previous works. Indeed, it consists in studying the effect of the sand type on the main properties of sand concrete: fracture and mechanical properties. We particularly insist on the determination of the fracture characteristics of this material which apparently have not been studied. To carry out this study, four different types of sand have been used: dune sand (DS), river sand (RS), crushed sand (CS) and river-dune sand (RDS). These sands differ in mineralogical nature, grain shape, angularity, particle size, proportion of fine elements, etc. The obtained results show that the particle size distribution of sand has marked its influence in all the studied properties of sand concrete since the sand having the highest diameter and the best particle size distribution has given the best fracture and mechanical properties. The grain shape, the angularity and the nature of sand have also marked their influence: thanks to its angularity and its limestone nature, crushed sand yielded good results compared to river and dune sands which are characterized by rounded shape and siliceous nature. Finally, it should further be noted that the sand concrete presents values of fracture and mechanical properties slightly lower than those of ordinary concrete. Compared to mortar, although the mechanical strength is lower, the fracture parameters are almost comparable. In all cases, the sand grains are debonded from the paste cement during the fracture which means that the crack goes through the paste-aggregate interface.

  • Background: Ecophysiological characteristics of Rosa rugosa were analyzed under different environmental factors from May to October 2022. Photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll content, leaf water content (LWC), osmolality, carbohydrate content, and total ion content were measured to compare the physiological characteristics of R. rugosa at two study sites (i.e., in large pots and in the Goraebul coastal sand dune area). Results: When R. rugosa was exposed to high temperatures, photosynthetic parameters including net photosynthetic rate (PN) and stomatal conductance (gs) in both experiment areas declined. In addition, severe photoinhibition occurs when R. rugosa is continuously exposed to high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and because of this, relatively low Y(II) (i.e., the quantum yield of photochemical energy conversion in photosystem II [PSII]) and high Y(NO) (i.e., the quantum yield of non-regulated, non-photochemical energy loss in PSII) in the R. rugosa of the pot were observed. As the high Y(NPQ) (i.e., the quantum yield of regulated non-photochemical energy loss in PSII) of R. rugosa in the coastal sand dune, they dissipated the excessed photon energy through the non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanism when they were exposed to relatively low PAR and low temperature. Rosa rugosa in the coastal sand dune has higher chlorophyll a and carotenoid content. The high chlorophyll a + b and low chlorophyll a/b ratios seemed to optimize light absorption in response to low PAR. High carotenoid content played an important role in NPQ. As a part of the osmotic regulation in response to low LWCs, R. rugosa exposed to high temperatures and continuously high PAR used soluble carbohydrates and ions to maintain high osmolality. Conclusions: We found that Fv/Fm was lower in the potted plants than in the coastal sand dune plants, indicating the vulnerability of R. rugosa to high temperatures and PAR levels. We expect that the suitable habitat range for R. rugosa will shrink and move to north under climate change conditions.

  • This study examined the coastal sand dune vegetation before and after the construction of an embankment on Anmado Island in order to compare vegetation in relation to the development of islands. A total of 24 species distributed on the sand dunes. 18 species were found to be in common before and after the construction of the embankment, which included Vitex rotundifolia, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii, Zoysia sinica, etc. The species which were not found in this survey included Rumex japonicus, Setaria viridis, Portulaca oleracea, Artemisia japonica, Poiygonum aviculare, etc, and new species included Arena fatua, Carex boottiana, Lycium chinense, Leonurus sibiricus, Torilis japonica, Solanum carolinense, etc. The washing away of sand brought about the changes in habitat and the increase in naturalized plants, which included Oenothera odorata, Lepidium apetalum, Bidens bipinnata, Erigeron canadensis, Datura stramonium, Xanthium strumarium, Arena fatua, Solanum carolinense etc. In addition, the disturbance to this habitat led to the changes in vegetation. The main plant communities in the surveyed site were classified as Vitex rotundifolia-Imperata cylindrica var. koenigil community, Zoysia sinica-Calystegia soldanella community and Messerschmidia sibirica community. The sand dune vegetation on Anmado Island changed with regard to the community and the composition of species after the construction of the embankment, due to the sand being severely eroded. While Vitex rotundifolia community and Commelina communis community were found before the construction of the embankment, they were replaced by Vitex rotundifolia-Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii community, Zoysia sinica-Calystegia soldanella community and Messerschmidia sibirica community, after the construction of the embankment.

  • 본 연구는 크기와 형상이 동일한 2차원 모래언덕이 계속해서 이어지는 2차원 난류유동장의 해석에 관한 연구이다. 실험은 완전발달 유동장이 형성된 Flume에서 PIV를 사용하여 진행되었다. 모래언덕의 모형은 강화유리로 제작되었으므로 그 형상은 흐름에 의하여 변하지 않는 경우이다. 연구를 통하여 모래언덕을 지나는 유동의 일반적인 특성들을 재확인할 수 있었는데, 여기에는 재순환영역의 크기, 유통박리 영역과 재부착영역 등이 포함된다. 언덕의 정상 (y/h=1) 부근을 따라 유동방향으로 난류와 와도가 매우 크게 얻어졌으며, 뚜렷이 구별되지는 않지만 y/h=2 부근에는 그 전 언덕들로부터 전달되어진 난류유동특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • To prevent or limit the damage caused by earthquakes on existing buildings, several retrofitting techniques are possible. In this work, an ultra high performance concrete based on sand dune has been formulated for use in the reinforcement of a multifunctional tower in the city of Skikda in Algeria. Tests on the formulated ultra high performance concrete are performed to determine its characteristics. A nonlinear dynamic analysis, based on the "Pushover" method was conducted. The analysis allowed an optimization of the width of reinforced concrete walls used in seismic strengthening. Two types of concrete are studied, the ordinary concrete and the ultra high performance concrete. Both alternatives are compared with the reinforcement with carbon fibers and by base isolation retrofit design.

  • To describe the major environmental factors operating in coastal wetland and to characterize the distribution of the plant species over the wetland in relation to the major environmental gradients, 12 soil physical and chemical properties were determined. The gradient of water and osmotic potential of soil, electrical conductivity, sodium and chloride content and soil texture alsong the three habitat types of salt marshes, salt swamp and sand dune were occurred. The 24 coastal plant communities from principal component analysis (PCA) on the 12 variables were at designated as a gradient for soil texture and water potential related with salinity by Axis I and as a gradient for soil moisture and total nitrogen gradient by Axis II On Axis I were divided into 3 groups (1) 9 salt marsh communities including Salicornia herbacea communities (2) 5 salt swamp communities including Scirpus fluviatilis communities and (3) 10 sand dune communities including Jmperata cylindrica communities on Axis II were divided into 2 groups (1) salt marsh and sand dune communities, and (2) 3 salt swamp communities. The results could account for the zonation of plant communities on coastal wetland observed alsong envionmental gradients.

  • Recently, the construction industry has focused on eco-friendly materials instead of traditional materials due to their harmful effects on the environment. To this end, biopolymers are among proper choices to improve the geotechnical behavior of problematic soils. In the current study, serish biopolymer is introduced as a new binder for the purpose of sand improvement. Serish is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the roots of Eremurus plant, which mainly contains inulins. The effect of serish biopolymer on sand treatment has been investigated through performing unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), as well as wind erosion tests. The results demonstrated that serish increased the compressive strength of dune sand in both terms of UCS and CBR. Also, wind erosion resistance of the sand was considerably improved as a result of treatment with serish biopolymer. A microstructural study was also conducted via SEM images; it can be seen that serish coated the sand particles and formed a strong network.
