Fertilizers have long been used to increase crop yields; however, farmers are still having difficulties in managing fertilizers for growing crops as well as economic problems. The conventional method of soil sampling and laboratory analysis to determine soil pH is time consuming and costly; therefore, a portable pH sensor is developed to characterize spatial or temporal variability within fields via rapid and dense data acquisition. The portable pH sensor comprises an electrode unit, a portable console, and a USB connector. The soil water content (SWC) and electrical conductivity (EC) affect the electrical resistance of soil. An artificial test soil is performed to evaluate the effect of SWC and EC on soil pH. The test results show that stable pH measurements are achieved at SWCs greater than 20 mL (16.3%). Regardless of the SWC, the electric potential difference (EPD) remains at 2.5 g of NaCl. As the EC increases in the soil samples, the EPD increases.

토양시료의 건조 과정이나 칭량과정을 수행하기 곤란한 현장 검정법에서 분석시료의 채취방법은 측정치의 신뢰성에 크게 영향을 미친다. 토양의 질산태 질소 함량이 45에서 $281mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 분포되는 12개 토양을 이용하여 질산태 질소 간이 검정법으로 효율적인 Test Strip 측광기 검정법에 대한 현장 활용성 증진방안이 비교 검토 되었다. 분석법은 실험실 전극법과 간이 측광기법으로 구분하고 채취방법은 중량법, 용적밀도법 (병마개 이용한 시료채취), 입자밀도법 (100 mL 실린더의 10 mL 용적을 토양으로 채움) 등 3가지 방법으로 비교하였으며, 또한 토양수분 조건은 풍건토, 최대용수량의 20% 및 40% 조건으로 달리하여 질산태 질소 함량의 상호관계를 평가하였다. Test strip 측광기법에 의한 질산태 질소 함량의 7반복 측정에서 변동계수(cv)는 3.5%에서 10.9%를 보이며 실험실 이온 전극법에 의한 질산태 질소 함량과 고도로 유의성 있는 상관을 보였다. 변동계수 10.9% 이하 재현성을 갖는 test strip 측광기법은 질산태질소의 현장검정법으로서 활용 가능한 것으로 생각되었다. 실험실 이온 전극법 뿐 아니라 test strip 측광기법에서 용적밀도법으로 측정된 질산태 질소 함량은 중량법 및 입자밀도법에 의한 측정치보다 표준 이온전극법에 의해 측정된 질산태 질소 함량과 더 근접되는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 토양의 수분함량이 높을수록 더욱 현저하여 용적밀도법의 의한 시료 채취방법은 토양의 수분조건에 의한 영향을 가장 적게 받는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 용적밀도법의 시료 채취용기를 병마개에서 보다 큰 용기로 교체한다면 test strip 측광기법에 의한 현장검정법의 활용성을 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

토양수분은 강우-유출, 에너지 수지, 증발 및 대기의 기후와 기상에 큰 영향을 미치고, 수문학적 거동에 중요한 역할을 한다. 미국의 NASA와 USDA는 전 지구 토양수분 관측을 위해 2002년부터 2005년까지 매년 Soil Moisture Experiment(SMEX)의 실험 실측, 항공기, 원격탐사를 이용한 토양수분 자료를 평가하여 지표와 대기의 수문학적 연구를 위해 기초가 되는 자료를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 SMEX02에 따른 항공기 원격탐사를 이용한 토양수분 데이터와 In-situ를 이용한 토양수분 데이터와의 상관관계를 분석하고, 항공기를 이용한 데이터의 활용성에 대해서 분석하는 것이다. 미국의 Iowa 주 Walnut Creek 유역을 대상으로 항공기를 이용한 Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer(PSR)의 C-band와 In-situ에 의한 데이터의 시공간적 스케일을 조합하여 4개 지점(WC15, WC16, WC23, WC24)에서 관측된 10일간의 토양수분 자료를 비교, 분석하였다. PSR의 C-band와 4개의 지점에 대한 7개 깊이의 In-situ 토양수분 데이터와의 상관성을 분석한 결과, 2-10 cm 깊이에서 상호 상관성이 가장 유의함을 보여 주었다. Rank Sum test와 t-test의 결과, 유의수준 10%에 대해 4개 지점 모두 10 cm에서 평균이 같고, 7 cm와 10 cm에서 중앙값이 같았다. 또한 확률분포의 적합도 검정을 위해 PPCC test를 실시한 결과, PSR에 의한 토양수분 데이터는 대체적으로 정규분포, 대수분포, Gumbel 분포 모두 성립하였고, 대상 지역별 깊이에 따라 토양수분의 분포형은 10 cm 깊이에서 정규분포보다 대수정규분포와 Gumbel 분포가 더 유의하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 PSR 토양수분은 7 cm와 10 cm 깊이의 관측 토양수분 자료로 대체될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 향후 우리나라에서도 항공기 및 인공위성을 이용한 토양수분 자료를 활용하여 수문학적 연구에 기초가 되는 자료로서 활용이 가능하며, PSR의 C-band를 이용하여 토양수분 관측 시 약 7-10 cm에 대한 토양수분을 증명할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the engineering and environmental properties of the waste tire powder-added lightweight soil (TLS) used as flowable backfill. The TLS used in this experiment consisted of dredged soil, bottom ash, waste tire powder and cement. Test specimens were prepared with various contents of waste tire powder ranging from 0% to 100% at 25% intervals and water contents ranging from 140% to 200% by the weight of the dry dredged soil. Several series of unconfined compression tests, flow tests, and leaching tests were carried out. Experimental results for the TLS indicated that the unconfined compressive strength, secant modulus (), and unit weight of the TLS decreased with an increase in waste tire powder content. However, as the waste tire powder content increased, the stress-strain relationship of the TLS showed more ductile behavior rather than brittle behavior. The flow value increased with an increase in water content, but decreased with an increase in waste tire powder content. The result of the leaching test showed that the leaching amounts of heavy metals were lower than the permitted limits suggested by the Ministry of Environment.

Non-destructive out-hole tests, impact-echo and impact-response are widely applied to evaluate integrity of drilled shafts. In these tests, vibratory motions of drilled shafts are interpreted, which induced by impacts on the shaft head. In applying the tests to evaluating integrity of shaft, it has been attended whether the tests have resolutions enough to distinguish existence of slime at between the shaft end and a bearing soil deposit. To distinguish existence of slime by tests, modes of shaft vibrations need to be reasonably interpreted, which generally vary according to a shaft boundary condition such as, a free-free or a free-fixed condition. The boundary condition of a shaft is, however, found to be significantly affected by stiffness of soil deposits around shaft as well as penetration depths of shaft into a bearing soil deposit. Thus, these effects on the boundary condition of a shaft should be considered reasonably in interpreting test results to decide the existence of slime. To investigate the effects, in this study, vibratory motions of shafts constructed in various soil conditions and end penetration depths are examined analytically. Based on the studies, variations of boundary condition are characterized in terms of soil stiffness contrast between a shaft perimeter and a shaft end, and also the ratio of a penetration depth to a shaft length. The results can be applied to verify the applicability of tests to identify the slime.

SIP(Soil cement Injected Precast pile) that inserts a precast pile after injecting a cement paste into a boring has been applied rapidly through the change of construction circumstances. But there isnt any logical equation of a bearing capacity fitted to SIP yet. So Meyerhof equation has mainly been used to predict a bearing capacity in a design stage instead. But it has shortcomings such as lack of confidence because it has derived not from a theory but from an experience obtained from the result of SPT (Standard Penetration Test) and because a penetration depth tends to be deeper by an excessive design that depends on an end bearing capacity of a pile more than a skin frictional resistance. In this study, thereupon, a direct shear test in the laboratory was performed to both SM and SC soils in variable conditions to verify skin friction properties for the purpose of presenting some reasons capable of reducing penetration depths. Through the tests, soil to soil of SM in cohesion, rough panel to soil of SM in friction angle and soil to soil of SM in shear strength tended to be high. And a shear strength increased as its total unit weight increased in all cases.

Several tests were conducted to optimize the design parameters of ln-situ soil flushing processes for diesel contaminated soil. According to the batch extraction test for three anionic surfactants evaluation, Calgonit limiting bubble occurrence was selected for its higher oil cleaning efficiency. After optimum surfactant selection, there were many sets of column flushing test. Over 70% of BTEX was removed in this surfactant dose with 400% of soil volume. In the case of no surfactant addition flushing in column, so called "blank flushing test", BTEX removal rate was 64%. But when we reused the effluent for the cleaning solution, the removal rate was decreased to 46.9%. This result showed reabsorption of oil occurred on the soil. With the addition of Calgonit solution to the diesel contaminated column, BTEX was removed up to 98.9% during the first flushing and 99.4% for the second recirculation flushing. In microcosm tests, diesel contaminated soils were cleaned by both surfactant flushing and biological activities. In anoxic condition, nitrate was used as an electron acceptor while the surfactant and the oil were used an electron donor. BTEX removal efficiency could be achieved up to 80% by biological degradation.

This study investigated the engineering properties of waste tire powder-bottom ash added composite soil, which was developed to recycle dredged soil, bottom ash, and waste tire powder. Test specimens were prepared using 5 different percentages of waste tire powder content(0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by weight of the dry dredged soil), three different percentages of bottom ash content (0%, 50%, and 100% by weight of the dry dredged soil), and three different particle sizes of waste tire powder (0.1~2 mm, 0.9~5 mm, and 2~10 mm). Several series of unconfined compression tests, direct shear tests, and flow tests were conducted. The experimental results indicated that the waste tire powder content, particle size of waste tire powder, and bottom ash content influenced the strength and stress-strain behavior of the composite soil. The flow value increased with an increase in water content, but decreased with an increase in waste tire powder content.

The detection of thin-layered soil is important in soft soils to evaluate the soil behavior. The smaller diameter cone penetrometer have been commonly used to detect the layer with increasing sensitivity. The objective of this study is to detect the thin-layered soil using cone resistance and electrical resistance. The cone resistivity penetration test (CRPT) is developed to evaluate the cone tip resistance and electrical resistance at the tip. The CRPT is a micro-cone which has a $0.78cm^2$ in projected area. The application test is conducted in a laboratory large-scale consolidometer (calibration chamber). The kaolinite, sand and water are mixed to make the specimen at the liquid limit of 46% using a slurry mixer. It takes two months for the consolidation of the specimen. After consolidation, the CRPT test is carried out. Furthermore the standard CPT results are compared with the electrical resistance measured at the tip in the field. This study suggests that the CRPT may be a useful tool for detecting thin-layers in soft soils.
