A fundamental study of drilled shafts-soil systems subjected to lateral cyclic loading in weathered soil was conducted using numerical analyses. The emphasis was on quantifying the soil resistance of laterally cyclic loaded pile using 3D finite element analysis. The appropriate parametric studies needed for verifying the cyclic p-y characteristic are presented in this paper. A framework for determining the cyclic lateral load transfer curve (p-y curves) on the basis of numerical analyses is proposed. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, the three-dimensional numerical methodology in the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurements and thus, represents a realistic soil-pile interaction for laterally loaded piles in soil than that of existing p-y method. It can be said that a rigorous present analysis can overcome the limitations of existing cyclic p-y methods to some extent by considering the effect of realistic three-dimensional combination of pile-soil forces. The proposed cyclic p-y curve is shown to be capable of predicting the behavior of the drilled shafts in weathered soil.

It is very important to assess accurately the terms which are included in the heat budget equation of soil surface because they are used in the UM and miso-scale circulation modeling as well as in the micrometeorological studies. Each terms in the heat budget equation change according to the soil moisture content. So, it is necessary to specify clearly the relations between soil moisture content and these terms. Special experiment with micrometeorological measurements was executed to study these relations at Environmental Research Center of Tsukuba University, Japan. The results are as follow: 1. The soil moisture contents of 1 cm and 4 cm depth are oscillated with one day Period in drying process and the amplitude of variation of 1 cm depth is greater than that of 4 cm. 2. Increase in soil moisture contents due to precipitation result in decrease of albedo with step function. 3. Sensible heat is in reverse proportion to the soil moisture content and latent heat is in direct proportion to it. Latent heat is more sensitive than sensible heat according to the soil moisture variation. Net long wave radiation have high correlation with soil moisture. 4. Comparing with the radiative term with the flux term in wetting process due to precipitation, the energy transfer of the aero and thermodynamic flux is greater than that of the radiative heat flux.

The objectives of this study were to calculate the radius of influence (ROI) of well for an air-sparging (AS)/soil vapor extraction (SVE) system and to evaluate the applicability of the system applied for the remediation of the petroleum contaminated rail site. For air permeability test, three monitoring wells were installed at a location of 1.3 m, 2.3 m, 3.0 m from the extraction well. And the pressure of each monitoring well was measured by extracting air from the extraction well with the pressure and flow of $(-)2,600mmH_2O$ and $1.58m^3/min$. The ROI for an extraction well was calculated as 4.31 m. Air was injected into the injection well with the pressure and flow of $3,500mmH_2O$ and $0.6m^3/min$ to estimate the radius of influence for oxygen transfer. Oxygen concentrations of air from three monitoring wells were measured. The ROI of an injection well for oxygen transfer was calculated as 3.46 m. The 28 extraction wells and 19 injection wells were installed according to the ROI calculated. The AS/SVE system was operated eight hours a day for five months. The rail site was contaminated with the petroleum and concentrations of benzene, toluene, and xylene were over the 'Worrisome Standard' of the 'Soil Environment Conservation Act'. The contaminated area was estimated as $732m^2$ and contaminants were dispersed up to (-)3 m from the ground. During the operation period, soil samples were collected from 5 points and analyzed periodically. With the AS/SVE system operation, concentrations of benzene, toluene, and xylene were decreased from 7.5 mg/kg to 2.0 mg/kg, from 32.0 mg/kg to 23.0 mg/kg, from 35.5 mg/kg to 23.0 mg/kg, respectively. The combined AS/SVE system applied to the rail site contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exhibited a high applicability. But the concentration of contaminants in soil were fluctuated due to the heterogeneous of soil condition. Also the effect of the remediation mechanisms was not clearly identified.

비소 및 중금속으로 오염된 토양 내 함량과 농작물로 전이되는 함량 간의 관련성을 도출하기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 수행되고 있으나 두 함량 간의 낮은 상관성으로 인하여 명확한 결과가 도출되지 못하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 토양 내 비소 전함량과 단일용출 가용성 함량뿐만 아니라 토양의 물리·화학적 특성을 함께 고려하여 백미로 전이되는 비소 함량을 예측하는 통계학적 모델을 만들고자 하였다. 토양 특성 중 pH, 단일용출 가용성 함량, 유기물 함량에 따라 순차적으로 토양을 분류하며 회귀분석을 통한 예측 모델을 도출하였다. 80개의 백미 내 비소 함량과 토양 내 비소 전함량 및 Mehlich 가용성 함량 간의 상관계수는 각각 0.533과 0.493으로 낮았다. 그러나 토양을 pH, Mehlich 가용성 함량에 대한 전함량, 유기물 함량으로 순차적으로 분류하여 모델을 도출한 결과, ① pH가 6.5보다 높은 13개의 토양은 0.963, ② pH가 6.5 이하이고 As_Tot/As_Mehlich 비가 높은 15개의 토양은 0.849, ③ pH가 6.5 이하이고 As_Tot/As_Mehlich 비가 낮으며 8.5% 이하의 유기물을 함유한 30개의 토양은 0.935로 예측력이 크게 증가하였다. 이 연구에서 도출된 토양 분류에 따른 백미 전이 함량 예측 모델은 비소 오염 토양에 대해 신뢰성 있는 백미 재배 기준을 설정하는데 의미있는 방법론을 제안할 수 있을 것이다.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in pine needles and soil samples from rural area were analyzed in this study. Concentrations of PBDE congeners were ranged between 0.2 and 3104 pg/g DW(dry weight) in pine needles and between 2.4 and 1997 pg/g DW in soil samples. The most abundant congener both in pine needles and soil samples was BDE-209, which was related to importation and production of deca-BDE technical mixtures in Korean industry. And BDE-99, BDE-47, BDE-100 deposited in pine needles and soil samples were closely matched with the major constituents of the penta-BDE technical mixture. Those can be interpreted as an evidence that transfer of the congeners in deca-BDE and penta-BDE technical mixtures from source to pine needle and soil occurs with broadly similar efficiency. Correlation coefficient(r) of PBDE congeners deposited in pine needles and soil samples is very significant because it implies th at there has been little weathering/degradation/alteration of the congeners generated from sources during atmospheric transport or within pine needles and soil themselves.

Tunnelling in urban environments is very common nowadays as large cities are expanding and transportation demands require the use of the underground space for creating extra capacity. Inevitably, any such new construction may have significant effects on existing nearby infrastructure and therefore relevant assessment of structural integrity and soil-structure interaction is required. Foundation piles can be rather sensitive to nearby tunnel construction and therefore their response needs to be evaluated carefully. Although detailed three-dimensional continuum finite element analysis can provide a wealth of information about this behaviour of piles, such analyses are generally very computationally demanding and may require a number of material and other model parameters to be properly calibrated. Therefore, relevant simplified approaches are used to provide a practical way for such an assessment. This paper presents a simple method where the pile is modelled with beam finite elements, pile-soil interaction is modelled with soil springs and tunnelling-induced displacements are introduced as an input boundary condition at the end of the soil springs. The performance of this approach is assessed through some examples of applications.

Benzoic acid is produced about 700 tons/year in Korea as of 1998 survey. Most is used as a stabilizer in the processes of synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes. It is also used for ingradient of paint, disinfections, and antifungals. Due to the antioxidant activity of benzoic acid, the chemical is also used as food preservatives. Although the chemical is widely used in Korea, exposure levels in air, water, soil or sediment have not been monitored or estimated so that risk evaluation of benzoic acid was not possible. In this study, distribution of the chemical among environmental media was estimated using EQC model based on the chemical-physical properties. In Level I and II of which the chemical are hypothesized in equilibrium and no transfer through the media, more than 93％ of benzoic acid are estimated to be distributed in water. However, in Level III of which non-equilibrium and intermedia transfer could be occurred, the chemical is estimated to distributed to soil, 64％ and water,35% as of total amount.

기후 변화로 인한 수문 환경의 변화에 따라 수문 모형을 이용한 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 수문 현상의 예측을 위하여 사용되고 있는 수문 모형인 Common Land Model(CLM)은 Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer(SVAT) 모형 중 하나로 비교적 적은 변수를 이용하여 현실적인 결과를 도출하므로 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 이에 반해 국내에서는 모형의 구동을 위한 입력 자료의 미흡으로 인해 실질적인 연구 사례가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해남의 KoFlux 지점을 대상으로 Korea Flux Network(KoFlux) 자료와 Korea Land Data Assimilation System(KLDAS) 자료를 CLM에 강제시켜 국내의 모형의 적용성에 대하여 검증하였다. KoFlux는 에디 공분산 시스템을 기반으로 지표면과 대기 사이의 Flux에 대한 측정 시스템을 운영하며 SVAT 모형의 구동을 위한 수문학적 인자들을 제공하고 있으며, KLDAS는 한반도지표동화자료체계로 위성 및 현장기반 관측 자료들을 지면모형에 적용시켜 자료동화방법을 통하여 지표 변수들을 제공하고 있다. 모형의 산출 결과는 해남 지점의 관측 자료와 비교를 통하여 CLM 모형의 적용 가능성을 검증하였고 두 결과 모두 관측 데이터와의 경향성이 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과 모두 신뢰할 만한 값으로 추정되며, 이를 통하여 국내의 CLM 모형 적용 가능성을 확인하였고, 국내에서의 지점 자료가 부족한 부분에 대한 KLDAS 자료의 이용 가능성 또한 확인하였다.

In order to evaluate the performance of axially of laterally loaded piles experimentaly, pile load tests can be carried out at the site Otherwise stress analyses or subgrade reaction analyses can solve the problem. In this study, stress analysis using FLAC code and subgrade reaction analyses using load transfer curves recommended by API(1993) were performed consistently on the basis of a result of site investigations, and the result of analyses was compared with the measured. As a result the behavior of pile heads was analyzed accurately for both axially and laterally loaded tests. Furthermore axially transferred loads were calculated appropriately for the measured and axial loads were transferred mainly mainly by the frictional resistance rather than by the tip resistance. Consequently, it can be commented that both analysis methods of soil-pile systems are applicable at teh objective site and that solutions may be more accurate if material properties from the site investigation are more explicit.

To calculate proper seismic design load and seismic design category, the exact site class for construction site is required. At present, the average shear-wave velocity for multi-layer soil deposits is calculated by the sum of shear-wave velocities without considering of vertical relationship of the strata. In this study, the transfer function for the multi-layered soil deposits was reviewed on the basis of the wave propagation theory. Also, the transfer function was accurately verified by the finite element model and the eigenvalue analysis. Three methods for site period estimation were evaluated. The sum of shear-wave velocities underestimated the average shear-wave velocities of 526 strata with large deviations. The equation of Mexican code overestimated the average shear-wave velocities. The equation of Japanese code well estimated the average shear-wave velocities with small deviation.
