Understanding the thermohydraulic processes in the aquifer is necessary for a proper design of the aquifer thermal energy utilization system under given conditions. Experimental and numerical test were accomplished to evaluate the relationship between the geothermal heat exchanger operation and hydrogeological conditions in the open-loop geothermal system. Sand tank experiments were designed to investigate the open-loop geothermal system. Water injection and extract ion system as open-loop borehole heat exchanger was applied to observe the temperature changes in time at injection well, extraction well and ambient groundwater. The thermohydraulic transfer for heat storage was simulated using FEFLOW for two cases of extraction and injection phase operation in sand tank model. As one case, the movement of the thermal plume was simulated with variable locations of injection and extraction well. As another case, the simulation was performed with fixed location of injection and extraction well. The simulation and experimental results showed that the temperature distribution depends highly on the injected water temperature and the length of injection time and the groundwater flow and pumping rate sensitively affect the heat transfer.

This research addresses experimentally the relationship between the excitation frequency and both hoop and axial wall stresses in a water storage tank. A low-density polyethylene tank with six different aspect ratios (water level to tank radius) was tested using a shake table. A laminar box with sand represents a soil site to simulate Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). Sine excitations with eight frequencies that cover the first free vibration frequency of the tank-water system were applied. Additionally, Ricker wavelet excitations of two different dominant frequencies were considered. The maximum stresses are compared with those using a nonlinear elastic spring-mass model. The results reveal that the coincidence between the excitation frequency and the free-vibration frequency of the soil-tank-water system increases the sloshing intensity and the rigid-like body motion of the system, amplifying the stress development considerably. The relationship between the excitation frequency and wall stresses is nonlinear and depends simultaneously on both sloshing and uplift. In most cases, the maximum stresses using the nonlinear elastic spring-mass model agree with those from the experiments.

지하수면과 불포화대의 수분 포화도가 지하투과레이더(GPR) 신호에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 실내 토조와 충적층 현장에서 GPR 조사를 수행하였다. 실내의 모래 채움 토조 실험에서, 지하수위를 변화시키기 위해 물을 탱크 바닥에 설치된 밸브를 통해 주입하고 배수시켰다. 지하수위와 수분포화도를 추정하기 위하여 모래 채움 토조에서 GPR 수직반사법(이후, VRP) 자료가 획득되었다. 실내 모래 채움 토조에서 획득된 GPR 신호는, 지하수위는 물론 함수율 변화에도 민감하게 반응함을 보여준다. 불포화대에서 GPR 속도는 함수율 변화에 따라 크게 조절되며, 주시 시간의 증가는 포화도의 증가로 해석된다. 함안군 이룡리 낙동강변 충적층에서 220m에 달하는 VRP 조사가, 지하수위를 추정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 현장 조사 결과, 포화 조건에서 GPR 신호의 첫 번째 반사면은 모관 상승에 의한 경계부를 지시하며, 실제 지하수면과는 차이가 있음을 지시한다. 보다 정확한 지하수위를 추정하기 위하여, Well-3호공 주변에서 중앙공심점(common mid-point, 이후, CMP) 방식 GPR 조사를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 모관 상승 경계부와 지하수면으로부터 반사되는 CMP 자료는 쌍곡선 형태를 보였다. NMO(nomal move-out) 보정을 통해, CMP 조사 자료로부터 GPR 신호의 속도를 구하였고, 이는 보다 상세한 지하수면과 심도별 포화도 정보를 제공하였다. 지하수면과 포화도 정보를 포함하는 GPR 조사결과는 통기대의 현장 수리 지질학적 특성 조사에 유용한 수단이다.

Any structure constructed on the earth is supported by the underlying soil. Foundation is an interfacing element between superstructure and the underlying soil that transmits the loads supported by the foundation including its self weight. Foundation design requires evaluation of safe bearing capacity along with both immediate and long term settlements. Weak and compressible soils are subjected to problems related to bearing capacity and settlement. The conventional method of design of footing requires sufficient safety against failure and the settlement must be kept within the allowable limit. These requirements are dependent on the bearing capacity of soil. Thus, the estimation of load carrying capacity of footing is the most important step in the design of foundation. A number of theoretical approaches, in-situ tests and laboratory model tests are available to find out the bearing capacity of footings. The reliability of any theory can be demonstrated by comparing it with the experimental results. Results from laboratory model tests on square footings resting on sand are presented in this paper. The variation of bearing capacity of sand below a model plate footing of square shape with variation in size, depth and the effect of permissible settlement are evaluated. A steel tank of size $900mm{\times}1200mm{\times}1000mm$ is used for conducting model tests. Bearing capacity factor $N_{\gamma}$ is evaluated and is compared with Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen and Vesic's $N_{\gamma}$ values. From the experimental investigations it is found that, as the depth of sand cushion below the footing ($D_{sc}$) increases, ultimate bearing capacity and settlement values show an increasing trend up to a certain depth of sand cushion.

This paper presents a new seismic isolation design for liquid storage tank (LST). The seismic isolation system includes: LST, flexible membrane, sand mat and rolling seismic isolation devices. Based on the mechanical equilibrium theory, the symmetric concave rolling restoring force model of the isolation device is derived. Based on the elasticity theory and restoring force model of the seismic isolation, a simplified mechanical model of LST with the new seismic isolation is established. The rationality of the seismic isolation design of LST is explored. Meanwhile, the seismic response of the new seismic isolation LST is investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that the new seismic isolation tank can effectively reduce the seismic response, especially the control of base shear and overturning moment, which greatly reduces the risk of seismic damage. The seismic reduction rate of the new seismic isolation storage tanks in Class I, II, and III sites is better than that in Class IV sites. Moreover, the seismic isolation device can effectively control the ground vibration response of storage tanks with different liquid heights. The new seismic isolation LST design provides better isolation for slender LSTs than for broad LSTs.

하상여과에서 집수관의 최적 설계를 위한 방편으로 여러 개의 모래통을 이용하여 모형 집수관 실험을 수행하였다. 집수정의 수위, 집수관의 직경, 집수관의 길이, 그리고 모래의 투수계수를 변화시키면서 모형 집수관을 운영하였으며, 집수관 표면에서의 잔류 수두와 집수관 각 부위에서의 여과수 유입율, 그리고 집수정에서의 산출유량을 측정하였다. 실험결과 모래층에서의 저항에 비해 집수관에서의 저항이 작아서 집수관 표면에서의 잔류수두가 수평에 가까운 경우 효율적인 집수관임을 알 수 있었다. 집수관의 여과수 유입율은 집수정에 근접할수록 지수함수적으로 증가하였고, 집수관의 직경이 작을수록 그리고, 대수층의 투수계수가 클수록 이 지수함수의 기울기는 증가하였다. 집수관의 길이와 직경이 증가하면 산출유량은 증가하지만 그 한계생산성은 감소하였다. 효율적인 하상여과를 위해서는 집수관에서의 축방향 유속을 줄이는 것이 중요함을 알 수 있었으며, 본 연구의 조건에서는 이 유속이 1 m/sec를 넘을 경우 우물의 효율이 크게 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

지하 투과 레이다를 이용한, 지하 매설물의 감지 여부 및 반사 신호 특성을 규명하기 위하여 모래 모형조 실험을 수행하였다. 매설물의 직경과 매립 심도의 비율은 최대 24 %, 최소 4 %로 다양하게 설정되었으며, 매설물의 재질은 금속제, 합성수지 및 목재가 사용되었다. 실험 결과, 지하수면이 매설물 하부에 위치한 경우, 목재를 제외한 모든 매설물이 심도와 직경에 상관없이 강한 반사파를 보여 주었다. 한편, 지하수면이 매설물 상부에 위치한 경우, 지하레이다를 이용한 매설물 감지가 매우 어려웠다. 그러나 이 경우에도 모형 탱크의 바닥에서의 반사 신호는 뚜렷이 감지되었으며, 이는 단순히 전자기파의 감쇠 이외에 타 요소가 매설물의 반사파 신호 발생을 저하시키는 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험 결과, 현장에서 단순히 매설물의 수평적인 위치를 감지하려고 할 경우, 수직 반사 방식의 지하레이다 조사가 경제적, 시간적으로 효율적이지만, 매설물의 수직위치, 지층의 전자기파 투과 속도, 지하수면 조사 등, 정밀한 지하 정보 획득을 목적으로 하는 경우, 적어도 부분적인 공심점 자료를 획득 할 수 있는 방식의 조사가 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The present study deals with the Pressure-settlement behavior of square and rectangular skirted footing resting on sand and subjected to a vertical load through a laboratory experimental study. A series of load tests were conducted in the model test tank to evaluate the improvement in pressure-settlement behavior and bearing capacity of square and rectangular model footings with and without structural skirt. The footing of width 5 cm and 6 cm and length/width ratio of 1 and 2 was used. The relative density of sand was maintained at 30%, 50%, 70%, and 87% respectively. The depth of skirt was varied from 0.25 B to 1.0 B. All the tests were carried out using a strain controlled loading frame of 50 kN capacity. The strain rate for all test was kept 0.24 mm/min. The results of present study reveal that, the use of structural skirt improves the bearing capacity of footing significantly. The improvement in bearing capacity was observed almost linearly proportional to the depth of skirt. The improvement in bearing capacity of skirted footings over footing without skirt was observed in the range of 33.3% to 68.5%, 68.9% to 127% and 146.7% to 262% for a skirt depth of 0.25 B, 0.50 B and 1.0 B respectively. The skirted footings were found more effective for sand at relative density of 30% and 50% than at relative density of 70% and 87%. The bearing capacity was found to increase linearly with footing width for footings with and without skirts. This observation was found to be consistent for footings with different skirt depths and for relative density of sand i.e., 30%, 50%, 70%, and 87%. The obtained results from the study for footing with and without skirts were comparable with available solutions from literature.
