Settlement of foundations in permafrost regions primarily results from three physical and mechanical processes such as thaw consolidation of permafrost layer, creep of warm frozen soils and the additional deformation of seasonal active layer induced by freeze-thaw cycling. This paper firstly establishes theoretical models for the three sources of settlement including a statistical damage model for soils which experience cyclic freeze-thaw, a large strain thaw consolidation theory incorporating a modified Richards' equation and a Drucker-Prager yield criterion, as well as a simple rheological element based creep model for frozen soils. A novel numerical method was proposed for live computation of thaw consolidation, creep and freeze-thaw cycling in corresponding domains which vary with heat budget in frozen ground. It was then numerically implemented in the FISH language on the FLAC platform and verified by freeze-thaw tests on sandy clay. Results indicate that the calculated results agree well with the measured data. Finally a model test carried out on a half embankment in laboratory was modeled.

In this research program special triaxial compression tests and dehydration-swelling tests under the condition of freeze-thaw process were conducted to show the effects of freezethaw process on the physical properties of weathered granite soil, and their results as follows; 1.Consolidation settlement of weathered granite soil mass was increased due to freeze-thaw process, and the initial tangent coefficient of dense state was higher than that of loose state. 2.Compression behaviour of soil was increased according to the decrease of freezing temperature, and when the freezing temperature was reached under - 10$^{\circ}$C, the compression rate was not influenced by change of freezing temperature. 3.The experiments showed that the void ratio and permeability of soil were converged into their values of shrinkage limit, and the permeability was higher due to the freeze-thaw process and as the lower the freezing temperature. 4.The decrease of liquid limit was indicated as the lower the freezing temperature, and as more the freeze4haw cycles, the moisture content was shown the lower side. 5.It was shown that the shrinkage was decreased by freeze-thaw process and not influenced by way of freezing temperature, but dehydration rate was higher.

Brine leakage is a common phenomenon during construction facilitated by artificial freezing technique, threatening the stability of frozen wall due to the continual thawing of already frozen domain. This paper takes the frequently encountered soft clay in Wujiang District as the study object, and remolded specimens were prepared by mixing calcium chloride solutions at five levels of concentration. Both the deformation and pore water pressure of frozen specimens during thawing were investigated by two-stage loading tests. Three sections were noted from the changes in the strain rate of specimens during thawing at the first-stage load, i.e., instantaneous, attenuated, and quasi-stable sections. During the second-stage loading, the deformation of post-thawed soils is closely correlated with the dissipation of pore water pressure. Two characteristic indexes were obtained including thaw-settlement coefficient and critical water content. The critical water content increases positively with salt content. The higher water content of soil leads to a larger thaw-settlement coefficient, especially at higher salt contents, based on which an empirical equation was proposed and verified. The normalized pore water pressure during thawing was found to dissipate slower at higher salt contents, with a longer duration to stabilize. Three physical indexes were experimentally determined such as freezing point, heat conductivity and water permeability. The freezing point decreases at higher salt contents, especially as more water is involved, like the changes in heat conductivity. The water permeability maintains within the same order at the considered range of salt contents, like the development of the coefficient of consolidation. The variation of the pore volume distribution also accounts for this.

최근 비교적 에너지자원 확보가 용이했던 육상의 화석연료가 고갈됨에 따라 이를 확보하기 위한 장소가 육지에서 그 동안 관심을 두지 않았던 극한지로 이동하고 있으며, 극한지 자원 확보를 위한 국가 간의 경쟁이 치열하다. 이러한 극한지 에너지자원 개발 시장을 선점하기 위해서는 국내환경과 상이한 극한지 건설기술 개발이 필수적이다. 극한지 가스배관의 경우 $-40^{\circ}C$에서 $20^{\circ}C$까지의 온도변화에 따라 국내에서 볼 수 없는 외부환경중 하나인 융해침하의 영향을 받게 되는데 이에 맞춰 새로운 해석모델개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 활용하여 극한지 가스배관과 융해침하를 모델링하였다. 또한 이 모델에 극한지의 온도에 따른 토양 및 배관의 물성을 부가하고 mohr-coulomb이론을 적용하여 융해침하에 따른 배관이 받는 응력 및 변위에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Preventing the infiltration of rainwater into the landfill site is the main purpose of the final cover in landfill sites. Compacted clay layer or geomembrain have been used as a conventional landfill final cover. But they have several disadvantages when damages might occur due to puncturing, differential settlement and desiccation or freeze and thaw. For this reason, as an alternative method SRSL(Self Recovering Sustainable Liner) has been developed. Adopting the precipitation reaction of two chemical material, by forming precipitates that fill the pores, and lower the overall permeability of the liner. The advantage of this method is that when fracture of the liner occurs the remaining reactants of the two layers form precipitates that fill the fracture and recover the low permeability of the liner. In this study, the recovering ability of the SRSL with a crack due to the seasonal variation or differential settlements was investigated by permeability tests. And in order to estimate the durability of the SRSL after freeze/thaw and desiccation, uniaxial compression strength tests were performed.

일반 및 특정폐기물 매립지에서 복토층의 중요성은 매립지의 바닥층 만큼 강조되지는 않는 것 같다. 그러나 실제로 매립지의 파괴 원인중에 가장 커다란 영향을 미치는 것은 복토층 설치의 실패에서 온다고 볼 수 있다. 특히 복토층 기능은 우수를 지표면으로 유출증진하여 매립장 안으로 침투 억제시키며, 폐기물의 노출시 자연환경 위생에 대하여 완충작용을 하며, 매립지의 침하 및 침강을 억제하는데 있다. 본 연구는 겨울철 동결/융해에 따른 폐기물 매립지 최종복토의 거동을 수행하였으며, 폐기물 매립지에서와 같은 조건을 부여하기 위해 거대한 Lysimeter를 설치하여 실제로 최종복토에 쓰여지는 물질로 세가지 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과는 동결/융해에 따른 점토층의 변화를 묘사하고 있으며 또한, 매립지에서의 동결깊이에 따른 복토층의 파괴는 점토의 물리 적, 공학적인 측면에 영향을 주며 이러한 영향은 매립지 설계시 고려되어야 한다고 본다. 본문은 실험에 사용되어진 복토층의 물질, 복토층의 묘사와 그들의 실험결과에 대한 결과분석 및 결론을 설명하고 있다.

To prevent penetration of rainwater into the landfill site is the main purpose of the final cover in landfill sites. Conventional designs of landfill covers uses geotextiles such as geomembrane and GCL, and clay liners to lower the permeability of final covers of landfill sites. However, differential settlement and the variation of temperature in landfill sites cause the development of cracks or structural damage inside the final cover and it is also difficult to obtain clay - the main material of the compacted clay liner in Korea. Thus the former final cover system that suggests geomembrane and GCL or compacted clay liner has several limitations. Therefore, an alternative method is necessary and one of them is the application of SRSL(self-Recovering Sustainable Liner) material. SRSL is two different layers consist of individual materials that react with each other and form precipitates, and with this process lowers the permeability of the landfill final cover. SRSL generally is made up of two layers, so that when a internal crack occurs the reactants of the two layers migrate towards the crack and heal it by forming another liner. In this study the applicability of SRSL material for landfill final cover was examined by performing; (1) jar test to verify the formation of precipitate in the mixture of each reactants, (2) falling head test considering the field stress in order to confirm the decrease of permeability or prove that the hydraulic condctivity is lower than the regulations, (3) compression tests to judge weather if the strength satisfies the restricts for landfills, (4) freeze/thaw test to check the applicability of SRSL for domestic climate. In addition, the application of waste materials in the environmental and economical aspect was inspected, and finally the possibility of secondary contamination due to the waste materials was examined by performing elution tests.

국토의 70% 이상이 산지로 구성되어 있어서 도로와 철도 건설을 위해 절토사면이 필연적으로 발생한다 우기, 동절기 서리로 인한 지반융기, 그리고 해빙은 암석 탈락과 사면붕괴의 원인이 되며 매년 사면붕괴에 의한 차량파손과 인명피해가 증가하고 있다. 인명과 재산을 보호하기 위해 사연붕괴를 조기에 탐지할 수 있는 실시간 모니터링 시스템이 필요하다. GMG사에서 개발한 병진 회전 침하(TRS) 센서를 사면 내에 설치하여 실시간으로 사면을 모니터링을 할 수 있도록 했으나, 시스템의 데이터 획득체계가 취약하여 순간적인 낙뢰에 의해 전체 시스템이 손상될 수 있다. 따라서 저자들은 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)을 제시하여 낙뢰에 의한 손상을 최소화시키고 신뢰도 높은 사면 변형 모니터링 체계를 구축했다.
