Due to its high salt content and poor physical properties in reclaimed tidal lands, it is important to ameliorate soil physical properties to improve the efficiency of desalination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of soil properties at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal saline soil with various soil amendments. Field experiment was conducted at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal land in Korea and the dominant soil series was Munpo series (coarse loamy, mixed, nonacid, Mesic, Typic, Fluvaquents). Woodchips, crushed-stone, oyster shell, coal bottom ash, and rice hull were added as soil amendments and mixed into surface soil to improve soil physical properties. There was large variability in soil hardness, but oyster shell treatment was significantly lower soil hardness at surface layer. Soil hardness was not significantly different below 15 cm depth. Infiltration rate was also significantly greater at oyster shell treatment. This may be due to the leaching of Ca ions from oyster shell and improved soil properties. However, there was no statistical significant difference of the soil bulk density, moisture content, and porosity. Improved physical properties increased desalinization rate in soil and retarded the resalinization rate when evapotranspiration rate was high. Although soil salinity was significantly decreased with oyster shell amendment, soil pH was increased that should be made up as a soil amendment. Our results indicated that oyster shell application increased infiltration rate and improved soil hardness, and thus oyster shell could be used to improve soil salinity level at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal saline soil.

In this study, the spatial distribution of depth between alluvial soil and weathered soil of Song-do new city is analyzed using geostatistics. From analysis results, the boundary depth of north-east region is deeper than that of south-west region, and average depth of north-east region is 27.14m and average depth of south-west region is 23.25m. The boundary depth is estimated by ordinary kriging and inverse distance method, and estimated results are almost similarity. So, in Song-do new city, these two method can be used to estimate the boundary depth. The ordinary kriging method is a very useful tool because the more exact analysis of spatial continuity and distribution characteristic is possible.

The measurement based on reliable standard operating procedures (SOPs) is important for consistent information. The objective of this study is to investigate reliable SOPs of soil physical methods, including core method for bulk density, Yamanaka hardness, and air permeameter method for air permeability. The coefficients of variation in bulk density (core method), Yamanaka hardness, and air permeability were ranged of 1~6%, 8~13%, and 10~84%, respectively. The variation in situ measurement such as bulk density, hardness, and air permeability due to spatial variability at measuring site was larger due to the number of replicates, organic matter content, and soil texture. Nevertheless, air permeability had different values as different number of replicates, and thus, it is thought that more replicates can result in higher reliability. It suggested that investigation of soil physical properties for the target sites should required to consider about soil texture, organic matter content, and number of replications before measurement. In conclusion, core sampling for bulk density measurement in upland soil recommended to perform in 3 repetitions with 2 inch core, and 3 inch core sampling for higher organic matter content.

국내에서 예상되는 물부족 현상을 극복하기 위해서는 수문 현상의 이해를 통한 수자원의 안정된 확보, 관리, 개발 등 수자원 관련 기술격의 발전이 필수적이라 하겠다. 물순환계통의 올바른 이해와 적합한 모형의 개발 및 검증을 위해서는 강우 및 토양수분의 대규모 원격측정이 필수적일 뿐 아니라 관측 격자 내에서 일어나는 변화도에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 가까운 장래에 예상되는 전구 관측 토양수분자료의 격자크기인 10km는 중ㆍ소규모 지역의 수문ㆍ기상모델 적용에 한계를 가진다. 목적에 따라 각 모델들이 필요로 하는 입력 자료의 격자크기가 다른 반면 각 모델에 대한 적합한 크기의 격자를 가진 다양한 입력 자료의 부재는 토양수분자료에 대한 적합한 downscaling 기법을 필요로 한다. 사용 가능한 보조 자료와 토양수분의 선형상관관계는 상당히 낮으므로 이들 상호관계를 선형관계의 합으로 나타내는데 한계를 가진다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 physically-based 분리기법과 자료들 간의 비선형 상관관계를 나타내는데 적합한 신경망 기법을 이용한 downscaling 기법을 개발하였다. 개발된 downscaling 기법은 Washita'92 실험으로부터 획득된 토양수분 및 보조 자료를 사용하여 4km자료를 0.2km자료로 downscaling 하였으며 출력자료는 기존의 전형적 기법에 의하여 smoothing된 자료보다 개선된 결과를 보여주었다.

We investigated Soil respiration in Bluepine forest of western Bhutan, in relation to soil temperature, moisture content and soil pH and it was aimed at establishing variability in space and time. The Bluepine forest thrives in the typical shallow dry valleys in the inter-montane Bhutan Himalaya, which is formed by ascending wind from the valley bottom, which carries moisture from the river away to the mountain ridges. Stratified random sampling was applied and the study site was classified into top, mid, low slope and further randomized sample of n=20 from 30 m×30 m from each altitude. The overall soil respiration mean for the forest was found 2248.17 CO₂ g yr^-1 and it is ~613.58 C g yr^-1. The RS from three sites showed a marginal variation amongst sites, lower slope (2,309 m) was 4.64 μ mol m^-2 s^-1, mid slope (2,631 m) was 6.78 μ mol m^-2 s^-1 and top slope (3,027 m) was 6.33 μ mol m^-2 s^-1 and mean of 5.92 μ mol m^-2 s^-1, SE=0.25 for the forest. Temporal distribution and variations were observed more pronounced than in the space variation. Soil respiration was found highest during March and lowest in September. Soil temperature had almost inverse trend against soil respiration and dropped a low in February and peak in July. The moisture in the soil changed across months with precipitation and pH remained almost consistent across the period. The soil respiration and soil temperature had significant relationship R²=-0.61, p=0.027 and other variables were found insignificant. Similar relationship are reported for dry season in a tropical forest soil respiration. Soil temperature was found to have most pronounced effect on the soil respiration of the forest under study.

In this study, we evaluated daily root zone soil moisture dynamics and agricultural drought using a near-surface soil moisture data assimilation scheme with Soil Moisture Active & Passive (SMAP, $3km{\times}3km$) soil moisture footprints under different hydro-climate conditions. Satellite-based LANDSAT and MODIS image footprints were converted to spatially-distributed soil moisture estimates based on the regression model, and the converted soil moisture distributions were used for assessing uncertainties and applicability of SMAP data at fields. In order to overcome drawbacks of the discontinuity of SMAP data at the spatio-temporal scales, the data assimilation was applied to SMAP for estimating daily soil moisture dynamics at the spatial domain. Then, daily soil moisture values were used to estimate weekly agricultural drought based on the Soil Moisture Deficit Index (SMDI). The Yongdam-dam and Soyan river-dam watersheds were selected for validating our proposed approach. As a results, the MODIS/SMAP soil moisture values were relatively overestimated compared to those of the TDR-based measurements and LANDSAT data. When we applied the data assimilation scheme to SMAP, uncertainties were highly reduced compared to the TDR measurements. The estimated daily root zone soil moisture dynamics and agricultural drought from SMAP showed the variability at the sptio-temporal scales indicating that soil moisture values are influenced by not only the precipitation, but also the land surface characteristics. These findings can be useful for establishing efficient water management plans in hydrology and agricultural drought.

During strong ground motions, adjacent structures with insufficient separation distances collide with each other causing considerable architectural and structural damage or collapse of the whole structure. Generally, existing design procedures for determining the separation distance between adjacent buildings subjected to structural pounding are based on approximations of the buildings' peak relative displacement. These procedures are based on unknown safety levels. This paper attempts to evaluate the influence of foundation flexibility on the structural seismic response by considering the variability in the system and uncertainties in the ground motion characteristics through comprehensive numerical simulations. Actually, the aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of foundation flexibility on probabilistic evaluation of structural pounding. A Hertz-damp pounding force model has been considered in order to effectively capture impact forces during collisions. In total, 5.25 million time-history analyses were performed over the adopted models using an ensemble of 25 ground motions as seismic input within OpenSees software. The results of the study indicate that the soil-structure interaction significantly influences the pounding-involved responses of adjacent structures during earthquakes and generally increases the pounding probability.

밭 토양 특히 시설재배 토양의 질소시비량을 결정하기 위한 효율적 검정법으로 확인된 $NO_3-N$의 간이 검정법을 개발하기 위하여 Hanna Ion Specific meter를 이용한 비색법과 Test strip Reflectometer를 이용한 측정법을 선정하고, 실험실 분석법인 Specific Ion Meter에 의한 이온 전극법 및 Kjeldahl 증류법과 함께 비교 분석하였다. 평가방법은 토양중 $NO_3-N$ 함량이 $25mg\;kg^{-1}$과 $55mg\;kg^{-1}$인 두 토양에 대하여 각 분석방법을 7반복씩 수행하여 표준편차를 비교하였고, 두 토양에 $NO_3-N$ 표준용액을 첨가하여 $NO_3-N$ 함량이 각각 100, 150, 200, 250, $300mg\;kg^{-1}$인 표준농도 계열에 대하여 7반복으로 분석하여 회수율을 비교하였다. 또한 $NO_3-N$ 함량이 $10mg\;kg^{-1}$에서 $340mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 분포되는 시설재배 토양 20개 시료에 대하여 3반복씩 분석하여 $NO_3-N$ 농도에 따른 측정치의 신뢰도를 비교하였다. 분석방법에 따른 측정치의 신뢰도와 회수율은 이온 전극법이 가장 양호하였고 Kjeldahl 증류법, Test strip 간이법, Hanna 비색법의 순이었다. 간이 검정법에 따른 비교에서 Hanna 비색법은 낮은 농도와 높은 농도에서 큰 오차를 보였으나 Test strip 간이법은 실험실 정밀분석법인 이온 전극법 및 Kjeldahl 증류법과 버금가는 신뢰도와 95% 이상의 회수율을 보였다. 따라서 단순한 분석절차와 짧은 분석시간을 고려해 볼 때 Test strip 간이법은 질소 시비량의 결정을 위한 현장의 간이 검정법으로 활용 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.
