Soil disturbance induced by installation of mandrel driven vertical drains decreases the in situ horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the soil in the vicinity of the drains, decelerating the consolidation rate. According to available literature, several different profiles for the hydraulic conductivity variation with the radial distance from the vertical drain, influencing the excess pore water pressure dissipation rate, have been identified. In addition, it is well known that the visco-plastic properties of the soil also influence the excess pore water pressure dissipation rate and consequently the settlement rate. In this study, a numerical solution adopting an elastic visco-plastic model with nonlinear creep function incorporated in the consolidation equations has been developed to investigate the effects of disturbed zone properties on the time dependent behaviour of soft soil deposits improved with vertical drains and preloading. The employed elastic visco-plastic model is based on the framework of the modified Cam-Clay model capturing soil creep during excess pore water pressure dissipation. Besides, nonlinear variations of creep coefficient with stress and time and permeability variations during the consolidation process are considered. The predicted results have been compared with V$\ddot{a}$sby test fill measurements. According to the results, different variations of the hydraulic conductivity profile in the disturbed zone result in varying excess pore water pressure dissipation rate and consequently varying the effective vertical stresses in the soil profile. Thus, the creep coefficient and the creep strain limit are notably influenced resulting in significant changes in the predicted settlement rate.

질산태 질소의 이동에 대한 토양 특성과 경운의 영향을 구명하기 위하여 1993년부터 1994년까지 2년 동안 미국 일리노이주 중부지방의 몇 개 토양통이 다른 옥수수 포장에서 질산태 질소의 함량을 조사하였다. 1993년 포장에는 무수암모니아 $225kg\;ha^{-1}$을, 1994년 포장에는 URAN $115kg\;ha^{-1}$을 시용하였다. 1993년 초기 포장에 질산태질소의 함량은 토양 깊이 100 cm 까지 $20mg\;kg^{-1}$ 정도의 농도를 보였으나, 시용후 옥수수 재배 초기에는 질산태질소의 하향이동을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수확 후 토양중의 질산태질소의 함량은 유기물 함량이 보다 많은 Flanagan 및 Ipava 토양통에서 Saybrook 및 Catlin 토양통에 비해 높은 경향을 보였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었고, 무경운 포장에서 경운 포장에 비하여 질산태질소의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 이는 무경운에 의한 질산태질소의 지하수로의 용탈 감소를 의미한다.

Soil profile was well developed into four horizons, $A_1$, $A_3$, $B_2$and C at 100cm-depth in most four golf courses in Kyonggi province. Distribution of root system of Korean lawngrass was abundant in dark yellowish or yellowish brown $A_1$ horizon with low hardness(8~14mm yamanaka scale), moderately in yellowish brown $A_3$ horizon with moderate hardness(16~23mm) rarely in $B_3$horizon(15~60cm depth) and no in C horizon. Optimum soil hardness for good root growth of Korean lawngrass appeared to be less than 16mm mineral nutrient contents. Such as Ca++, Mg++, K+, Mn++ and Fe showed relatively higher concentration in lower horizon indicating the leaching of minerals. The increasing tendency of soil pH with depth seemed to the result of mineral leaching. There was significant positive correlation between Ca+Mg and pH, manganese content appeared to be too high(261~789ppm) in $A_1$ horizon. The contents of organic matter and phosphorus were bight in $A_1$ horizon and greatly varied among golf courses.

Soil stresses were measured beneath the centerline of one new 12.4R28 radial-ply tractor tire. The tire was operated with three inflation pressures(59㎪ 108㎪ and 157㎪) and a dynamic load of 14.2 kN and 20% slip. Soil stress state transducer(SST) measured the stresses in a hardpan soil profile. The depth of the SST was 250mm from soil surface. Analysis of the original soil stress data showed that the inflation pressure of tire did significantly affect the vertical stress. The major principal stresses calculated were more when the inflation pressure was 108㎪ than when it was 157㎪. The peak stresses of the major principal stresses presented more than those of the vertical stresses.

Background: Soil microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and are distributed throughout the soil profile. Currently, there is little information about the characteristics of the microbial communities along the soil depth because most studies focus on microorganisms inhabiting the soil surface. To better understand the functions and composition of microbial communities and the biogeochemical factors that shape them at different soil depths, we analyzed microbial activities and bacterial and fungal community composition in soils up to a 120 cm depth at a fallow field located in central Korea. To examine the vertical difference of microbial activities and community composition, ${\beta}$-1,4-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, ${\beta}$-1,4-xylosidase, ${\beta}$-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase, and acid phosphatase activities were analyzed and barcoded pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes (bacteria) and internal transcribed spacer region (fungi) was conducted. Results: The activity of all the soil enzymes analyzed, along with soil C concentration, declined with soil depth. For example, acid phosphatase activity was $125.9({\pm}5.7({\pm}1SE))$, $30.9({\pm}0.9)$, $15.7({\pm}0.6)$, $6.7({\pm}0.9)$, and $3.3({\pm}0.3)nmol\;g^{-1}\;h^{-1}$ at 0-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-90, and 90-120 cm soil depths, respectively. Among the bacterial groups, the abundance of Proteobacteria (38.5, 23.2, 23.3, 26.1, and 17.5% at 0-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-90, and 90-120 cm soil depths, respectively) and Firmicutes (12.8, 11.3, 8.6, 4.3, and 0.4% at 0-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-90, and 90-120 cm soil depths, respectively) decreased with soil depth. On the other hand, the abundance of Ascomycota (51.2, 48.6, 65.7, 46.1, and 45.7% at 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 cm depths, respectively), a dominant fungal group at this site, showed no clear trend along the soil profile. Conclusions: Our results show that soil C availability can determine soil enzyme activity at different soil depths and that bacterial communities have a clear trend along the soil depth at this study site. These metagenomics studies, along with other studies on microbial functions, are expected to enhance our understanding on the complexity of soil microbial communities and their relationship with biogeochemical factors.

The Janghang smelter is the first lead, zinc and copper smelting facility in Korea which was operated for a half century from 1936 to 1989. The clay minerals and their heavy metal association in the soil profile around the smelter have been studied using XRD, EPMA, SEM-EDS, TEM, EPR and sequential extraction techniques. The soils in A horizon are highly acidic showing pH 4.45. The pH is going up with increasing depth. They have residual water contents of 1.18-1.51 wt%, loss on ignition of 6.32-7.79 wt%, and carbon contents of 0.08-0.88 wt%. Soils consist of quartz, feldspar, muscovite, kaolinite, vermiculite, biotite, chlorite, goethite and hematite in the decreasing abundance. The contents of clay minerals, especially vermiculite and chlorite, decrease with increasing depth. Sequential extraction experiments for the profile samples show that heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) are highly concentrated in the A horizon of the soil profile as water-extractable (mostly amorphous), MgCl2-extractable (exchangeable in clay minerals), and organic phases. The heavy metal contents decrease with increasing depth. It suggests that the heavy metals are mainly associate with clay minerlas in an exchangeable state. It is also noted that heavy metals are highly concentrated in the manganese and iron oxide phases.

The relationship between pb, zn, cd, and the microbial biomass and activity were investigated in three public park soils of central and outer london. Variability with distance from the roadside and profile were studied. The heavey metal concentrations were the highest in hampstead heath and hyde park with high trafic density and the lowest in hainault. The highest concentrations of heavy metals were found adjacent to the roadside in the upper parts of the soil profile. Dehydrogenase activity, adenosine tri-phosphate and ergosterol contents used as indices of micrbial biomass and activity, were generally higher in hainadult, and also higher in the upper pats of the soil profile. Simple regression analysis indicated that the microbial biomass and activity were affected significantly by moisture content, water holding capacity, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and organic mater rather than heavy metal concentration. Highest inputs of nitrogen and carbon were associated with high inputs of heavey metals, all three being derived from vehicle emissions adjacent to the road. The hyde park and hampstead heath microbial populations were able to respond to the c and n input positively by increase in biomass and activity, whereas the hainault populations could not. This rsult suggrsts adaptation in he former to heavy matals, but not in the latter.

이 논문은 온산공업단지 내 화강암의 풍화 및 토양화 과정, 그리고 토양 내 중금속 오염과 토양 광물간의 관계에 관한 연구이다. 프로화일 연구를 위해 각 깊이별로 토양시료를 채취하여 각 샘플에 대한 실험분석을 실시하였다. X선 회절분석 결과 주 구성 점토광물은 캐올린 광물과 버미큘라이트, 그리고 미량의 일라이트이다. 포름아마이드 처리를 통해 프로화일 내 토양 중의 캐올린 광물의 종류에 대해 분석한 결과 프로화일 하부에 존재하는 캐올린 광물은 대부분 할로이사이트 임이 밝혀졌으며, 지표면으로 갈수록 상대적으로 캐올리나이트에 대한 할로이사이트의 양이 감소하는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 상부로 갈수록 할로이사이트에서 캐올리나이트로의 전환이 이루어지고 있음을 의미한다. $110^{\circ}C,\;300^{\circ}C,\;550^{\circ}C$ 열처리를 한 결과 X선회절분석 그래프 상의 $10\;{\AA}에서\;14\;{\AA}$ 사이의 피크가 분화된 형태를 보여주는 것이 관찰된다. 이는 시료상에 수산화알루미늄 혼합층 버미큘라이트가 존재함을 지시한다. 이것은 구연산나트륨 처리실험을 통해 버미큘라이트 층간 불순 알루미늄 이온을 추출하여 원형상으로 전환시킴으로써 열처리시 $14\;{\AA}$피크가 다시 $10\;{\AA}$으로 변화하는 것을 관찰함으로써 재확인하였다. 토양의 수소이온농도 분포 양상이 하부에서 3.9, 상부에서 3.6으로 상부로 갈수록 산성화경향이 심해지는 경향을 보여주는데, 이는 산성화된 토양에서 안정적으로 나타나는 수산화알루미늄 혼합층 버미큘라이트의 존재를 뒷받침하고 있다. 토양 내 중금속 이온의 존재양상에 대한 연구를 위해 연속추출실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 상대적으로 많은 양의 중금속 이온이 프로화일의 상부의 철/망간 산화물과 유기물에 흡착되어 있으며 점토광물에는 적은 양만이 흡착되어 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과는 대부분의 중금속 오염물들이 상부 토양에 농집되어 있고 점토광물에는 낮은 중금속 함량을 보여주는 것은 산성화된 토양을 이루고 있는 주 점토광물인 캐올린광물과 수산화알루미늄 혼합층 버미큘라이트가 낮은 흡착능력을 가지고 있기 때문인 것으로 판단한다.
