농약등록 잔류시험 연구기관의 측정 능력 향상 및 신뢰도 향상을 위해 잔류분석 숙련도 시험을 실시하였다. 시험은 2011년 10월에 토양시료를 사용하여 수행되었다. 토양은 채취 후 습토상태로 5년간 보관하여 농약의 잔류수준이 매우 낮을 것으로 기대되는 밭토양을 사용하였다. Chlorpyrifos와 metolachlor, procymidone을 토양잔류시험의 실내시험 토양시료 조제방법과 유사하게 처리하여 분배 포장하였고, 그 중 일부를 임의로 선정하여 시료의 균질도와 상온에서의 안정성을 확인하였다. 시험참여기관마다 3종 농약이 두 수준으로 처리된 토양시료 2점을 배분하였는데 그 중 하나는 모든 기관에 동일한 농도로 처리된 평가용이었고, 기관별로 다른 농도의 시료는 확인용으로 사용하였다. 아울러 대상농약성분의 정량을 방해하는 성분의 확인과 회수율시험 등에 사용할 수 있도록 무처리 토양과 3종 농약의 표준용액(농도 10 mg/L)을 제공하였다. 대상기관 중 47개 기관이 결과를 제출하였고 제출된 분석결과의 중앙값을 잔류농약에 대한 설정값으로 사용하였다. 합목적(fitness-for purpose) 표준편차는 토양잔류시험의 변이계수 허용한계 20%를 적용하여 계산하였다. 개별성분에 대한 평가에는 Z-score를 적용하였고, 3종 농약에 대한 전체적인 평가는 Z-score의 절대값의 평균으로 하였다. Z-score의 절대값이 2 이하로 적합하다고 평가된 기관은 chlorpyrifos와 procymidone의 경우 44개, metolachlor는 40개 기관이었다. 따라서 본 숙련도시험결과 잔류시험 연구기관 대부분의 잔류분석 수행능력은 적절한 것으로 판단되었다.

A framework for multi-platform analytical and multi-component hybrid (testing-analysis) simulations is described in this paper and illustrated with several application examples. The framework allows the integration of various analytical platforms and geographically distributed experimental facilities into a comprehensive pseudo-dynamic hybrid simulation. The object-oriented architecture of the framework enables easy inclusion of new analysis platforms or experimental models, and the addition of a multitude of auxiliary components, such as data acquisition and camera control. Four application examples are given, namely; (i) multi-platform analysis of a bridge with soil and structural models, (ii) multiplatform, multi-resolution analysis of a high-rise building, (iii) three-site small scale frame hybrid simulation, and (iv) three-site large scale bridge hybrid simulation. These simulations serve as illustrative examples of collaborative research among geographically distributed researchers employing different analysis platforms and testing equipment. The versatility of the framework, ease of including additional modules and the wide application potential demonstrated in the paper provide a rich research environment for structural and geotechnical engineering.

This paper discusses improvements of compressibility, permeability, static and liquefaction strengths of in-situ soils by grouting. Both field testing and laboratory evaluation of the on-site samples were conducted. The improvement of soils was influenced by two main factors, i.e., the grout materials and the injection mechanisms introduced by the field grouting. On-site grout mapping revealed the major mechanism was fracturing accompanied with some permeation at deeper zones of sandy soils, where long-gel time suspension grout and solution grout were applied. The study found the compressibility and swelling potential of CL soils at a 0.5 m distance to grout hole could be reduced by 25% and 50%, respectively, due to the grouting. The effect on hydraulic conductivity of the CL soils appeared insignificant. The grouting slightly improved the cohesion of the CL soils by 10~15 kPa, and the friction angle appeared unaffected. The grouting had also improved the cohesion of the on-site SM soils by 10~90 kPa, while influences on the friction angle of soils were uncertain. Liquefaction resistances could be enhanced for the sandy soils within a 2~3 m extent to the grout hole. Average improvements of 40% and 20% on the liquefaction resistance were achievable for the sandy soils for earthquake magnitudes of 6 and ${\geq}7.5$, respectively, by the grouting.

730MHz의 고정 주파수를 방사하는 3소자 안테나 방식의 GPR을 이용하여 자체 제작한 시험장 속에 매설된 다양한 시험편의 검출능력을 조사하였다. 여러 가지 상황에 대한 검출능력을 알아보기 위하여 매설물의 재질, 크기, 매설 깊이에 차이를 두어 실험을 수행하였다. 레이다파의 전파속도를 조절하여, B-scan상의 쌍곡선 패턴의 위치를 실제 매설한 깊이에 정확하게 위치하게 함으로써, 실험결과로부터 얻은 soil(dry)에서의 레이다파의 전파속도가 기존 data와 유사함을 확인하였다.

The first Korean cold room facility for ice mechanics experiments was assembled in 2004. Since then, the $4m{\times}6m$ cold room facility has been used, extensively under various environmental and loading conditions. After reviewing published references on cold room testing methods and also by trial and error, the standard procedures for testing and preparing laboratory ice material were established for the measurement of basic ice properties. In this paper, laboratory experimental techniques with the cold room facility and standard procedures established for ice material properties are introduced. Test specimens include laboratory-grown fresh water ice and frozen soils. Tests are carried out for unconfined compressive strength. Preparation and dimension of the specimen are the most important issues arising in cold room tests. The details of specimen preparation, testing procedure and strength test results are also discussed.

In the design and construction of the coastal/offshore structures, it is very important to evaluate the geotechnical characteristics of marine soils, which support the structures. Although the offshore site investigation is much more difficult than onshore, safe and precise jobs have not been accomplished in Korea because of the insufficiency of the test equipments especially for the site with deep water depth. The main objective of this study is to develop a new type of marine cone penetration testing(CPT) system, which can be utilized to even deep sea and high depth of soil layer. The system is one of seabed types and employs the conventional cone, which shows more reliable results than miniature cone. The most important parts of the marine CPT including continuous rod system, cone penetration system with wheel drive, automatic cone rod assembly/dissembly system etc., were designed and manufactured. Some tests to verify the developed marine CPT system were performed at both onshore and offshore sites as well as mechanical test in laboratory. The test results show the consistent and promising performance of the new equipment, and thereafter the system would be applicable to various sites with practical/economical advantages.

With the sustainability movement, vegetated building envelopes are gaining more popularity. This requires special wind effect investigations, both from sustainability and resiliency perspectives. The current paper focuses on wind load estimation on small- and full-scale trees used as part of green roofs and balconies. Small-scale wind load assessment was carried out using a wind tunnel testing in a global-effect study to understand the interference effects from surrounding structures. Full-scale trees were investigated at a large open-jet facility in a local-effect study to account for the wind-tree interaction. The effect of Reynolds number combined with shape change on the overall loads measured at the base of the trees (near the roots) has been investigated by testing at different model-scales and wind speeds. In addition, high-speed tests were conducted to examine the security of the trees in soil and to assess the effectiveness of a proposed structural mitigation system. Results of the current research show that at relatively high wind speeds the load coefficients tend to be reduced, limiting the wind loads on trees. No resonance or vortex shedding was visually observed.

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an innovative soil improvement approach utilizing metabolic activity of microbes to hydrolyze urea. In this paper, the shear response and the erodibility of MICP-treated sand under axial compression and submerged impinging jet were evaluated at a low confining stress range. Loose, poorly graded silica sand was used in testing. Specimens were cemented at low confining stresses until target shear wave velocities were achieved. Results indicated that the erodibility parameters of cemented specimens showed an increase in the critical shear stress by up to three orders of magnitude, while the erodibility coefficient decreased by up to four orders of magnitude. Such a trend was observed to be dependent on the level of cementation. The treated sand showed dilative behavior while the untreated sands showed contractive behavior. The shear modulus as a function of strain level, based on monitored shear wave velocity, indicated mineral debonding may commence at 0.05% axial strain. The peak strength was enhanced in terms of emerging cohesion parameter based on utilizing the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria.
