A dynamic triaxial discrete element numerical model of lightweight soil was established using the discrete element method to study the microscopic mechanism of expanded polystyrene (EPS) particles in the soil under cyclic loading. The microscopic parameters of the discrete element model of the lightweight soil were calibrated depending on the dynamic triaxial test hysteresis curves. Based on the calibration results, the effects of the EPS particles volume ratio and amplitude on the contact force, displacement field, and velocity field of the lightweight soil under different accumulated strains were studied. The results showed that the hysteresis curves of lightweight soil exhibit nonlinearity, hysteresis, and strain accumulation. The strain accumulated in remolded soil is mainly tensile strain, and that in lightweight soil is mainly compressive strain. As the volume ratio of EPS particles increased, the contact force first increased and then decreased, and the displacement and velocity of the particles increased accordingly. With an increase in amplitude, the dynamic stress of the particle system increased, and the accumulation rate of the dynamic strain of the samples also increased. At 5% compressive strain, the contact force of the particles changed significantly and the number of particles deflected in the direction of velocity also increased considerably. These results indicated that the cemented structure of the lightweight soil began to fail at a compressive strain of 5%. Thus, a compressive strain of 5% is more reasonable than the dynamic strength failure standard of lightweight soil.

This study was conducted to define a characteristics of Electrical Resistivity of weathered soil against volumetric water content and frequency. It is essential to analyze and understand a characteristics of the Electrical Resistivity for evaluation of soil as subsurface contaminant detection. Before the test, an effect of pore water and ion were checked using four liquids(distilled water, tap water, potassium chloride 1.8mM, and 3.7mM). As a result, the correlation between the volumetric water content and the Electrical Resistivity was estimated. The Electrical Resistivity decreases with increasing frequency and water content. Also, Electrical Resistivity could be described by an exponential function of volumetric water content with the constants.

Generally, ordinary portland cement(OPC) is widely used for grouting to reduce permeability of ground under the foundations of structures. But, it is hard to be injected into the microscopic voids, fissures and crevices in soil or rock formation for the OPC material. Therefore new method what is called MSG(Micro Silica Grouting) has been developed recently to improve the weak point of the OPC material. In this case study, in order to verify performance of the MSG's water cut-off, trial injections were performed in rear of CIP(Cast in Place Pile) on the site A(weathered soil) and B(alluvial soil) that are constructed for the subway No. 9 nowadays. To take the proper grouting method of the MSG in the trial injecting, the injections are carried out for grouting types(constant pressure or fixed Quantity) and grouting methods(1.5shot or 2.0shot) and to confirm the effects of water cut-off and the injection range of the MSG, the tests of permeability and indicator(phenolphthalein) response were performed before and after the injection. Through the tests results, we could affirm the effects of water cut-off of the MSG and the injection range for the weathered and alluvial soil layers near the Han River. Finally we could make sure the application of the MSG method in actual construction under the layers.

An acid forest surface soil as a land farming medium was treated with a water plant alum sludge at 0 to 18%. Indian mustard was grown in the treated soil in a greenhouse for 5 weeks and watered with pH 4 tap water adjusted with a mixed acid (1HNO$_3$: 2H$_2$SO$_4$) during plant growth. Changes in soil property, leachate chemistry, plant growth, and plant uptake of elements by the sludge treatment were determined. The alum sludge treatment increased buffer capacity to acidity, hydraulic conductivity, water holding capacity, and phosphate adsorption of the soil and decreased bulk density and mobility of small particles. The sludge treatment reduced leaching of Al, Mg, K, Na, and root elongation. Plant did uptake less amount of the cations and P but more Ca with the sludge treatment.

The coefficient of permeability is one of the most important properties in unsaturated soils. The permeability varies with change in the water content as the soil water characteristic curve(SWCC) does. Thus the permeability curve of unsaturated soils has the similar shape with the soil-water characteristic curve(SWCC). Therefore, the methodologies have been studied to simply predict the unsaturated permeability from the SWCC. In this study, the experimental tests of SWCC and permeability were carried out for domestic weathered granite soils. The SWCC test results were fitted to Fredlund and Xing's SWCC equation and then it was found that there are some relationships between the parameters of SWCC equation and the basic soil properties. Accordingly we used an ANN(artificial neural network) model to obtain the SWCC parameters from the basic soil properties. Finally, the coefficients of permeability were predicted from these results by a prediction model.

This study was conducted by the slump test and the consistency test of the cement mixed soil which is soil mixed with cement to investigate and estimate the difficulty degree of work and the proper water content. So I would like to present the fundamental data that establish the work standard of the cement mixed soil. In conclusion, in this study the slump value of the cement mixed soil increases over-all according to the increase of the water content although it has a little difference of the increase range and it is smaller than one of the soil. It is estimated that the aggregating and throwing work of the cement mixed soil which is mixed with 6% and 9% cement would be fine when it has the $25%{\sim}27%$ water content and the wall plastering work is the $30%{\sim}32%$ and the floor plastering work is the $30%{\sim}35%$ and the flowing and pouring work is the $40%{\sim}42%$ water content as well as the mold compacting work is the 20%.

Dry matter production, leaf area growth and total nitrogen changes were studied in Glycine max. soybean communities, which were grown in sandy loam soils controlled to provide various moisture levels, i.e., 5-7%(level 1), 8-10%(level 2), 11-13%(level 3), 14-15%(lev디 4), 17-20%(level 5) and 22-24%(level 6). A summary of the results is shown. The maximum dry matter production of leaves, stems and nodules and the maximum leaf area per unit area were at level 5, but the maximum of root dry matter production was at level 4. Total nitrogen content of the soybean plant decreased with growth, but each level of soil moisture content also showed a little difference. Water content of the plant decreased with plant age and soil water deficiency, especially in roots and nodules. Nodule formation increased in proportion to soil moisture content. total nitrogen content of the soil on which the soybeans grew, increased from 0.23% before sowing to 0.30% at 100 days after sowing. It seems that soil water content acts as a linear factor in the elongation or dry weight increase of shoots and roots until increasing to level 5. Considering the pattern of plant growth through analysis of the shoot and root dry weight ratio, or the photosynthetic organ and non-photosynthetic organ dry weight ratio, the asymptote of plant growth at a high soil water content exceeded that at a low soil water content.

기상 자료와 토양 수리 특성을 입력하여 토양수분의 수직 이동 및 분포를 예측할 수 있는 수치모형을 개발하고, 이 모형을 검정하기 위해 중동사양토를 대상으로 추정한 결과와 중성자 산란법에 의해 측정한 수분단면을 비교하였다. 이 모형에서 토양수분 포텐셜을 기준으로 한 Richards 방정식의 해를 predictor-corrector 격자에 투영한 음함수 유한차분법에 의해 구하였다. 이 모형에서는 토양단면의 수리특성은 균질하고, 토양수분은 등온적으로 흐르고, 수분이력현상은 고려하지 않고, 수증기 및 열 이동은 일어나지 않고, 빗물은 토양 단면에 부분 치환원리에 의해 분배된다고 가정하였다. 이 모형의 입력 자료는 크게 강우량, 최고 및 최저 기온, 상대습도 및 일사량의 일일 기상자료와 불포화 수리전도도 및 수분보유 특성 함수를 추정하기 위한 토양 수리 자료로 구분하였다. Chebyshev 다항식과 최소 자승차를 이용하여 추정한 토양 수리 다항식은 입력 자료와 매우 잘 일치하였다. 다양한 지표 및 하부 경계조건에서 53일 동안 상대적으로 시간증가분을 크게 하여 추정한 Richards 방정식의 해인 토양수분 수직 단면은 지표 10 cm를 제외하고는 중성자 산란법에 의해 측정한 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

본 연구는 토양오염의 공간적 확산 및 거동을 이해하기 위한 측정방법을 고찰하고, 토양공극수 채취와 해석에 관한 사례연구이다. 이를 위해서 석유계 탄화수소로 오염된 대표적인 국내 유류오염부지 토양내 PAH류(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)의 오염 확산과 거동을 정량하기 위한 심도별 토양공극수의 추출장치를 구성하고, 불포화층과 포화층의 토양수를 분석하여 오염물질의 거동을 해석하였다. 토양공극수 추출장치는 공극수 추출용 압력펌프와 토양공극수 추출부로 구성되고, 토양수분장력과 추출압력을 동시에 측정하며 심도별로 토양공극수를 채취하도록 구성하였다. PAH류 오염물질은 추출압력과 시간에 따른 주변 토양공극수의 유입에 의한 희석에 의해서 농도가 낮아졌다. 특히, 추출 심도에 따라 토양의 산화환원전위의 영향에 의해 불포화층의 산화환경에서 포화층의 환원환경보다 자연저감정도가 높았다. 따라서 토양수분장력의 세기에 따라 강한 토양수분장력의 모세관수와 약한 장력의 중력수에 해당하는 토양공극수를 추출함으로써 토양공극수의 평형과 비평형정도를 해석할 수 있다.
