It was known that the aging effect of sands is insignificant in comparison with clays, and hence the study on this effect had seldom been performed prior to the early 1980s. However, field tests for this effect have been actively carried out since it was investigated that penetration resistance of reformed sands increased with the lapse of time. Recently, the aging effect of sands has also been examined in laboratory testings. In this study, undrained static triaxial tests were performed to evaluate the effect on the Nak-dong River sands, with different .elative densities $(D_r)$, consolidation stress ratios $(K_c)$, and consolidation times. As a result of the tests, it was proved that the undrained cyclic shear strength $(R_f)$ increased with the aged time on the sands. The in situ range of Rf on the sands, which is applicable to the magnitude of earthquake in the Nak-dong River area, was proposed by using the test results.

In this research, artificially cemented sand which is made of a few portland cement and Nak-Dong river sand was researched closely. For providing the fundamental data which is needed in design and analysis of levee material, the shear behavior of cemented sands was investigated by drained triaxial test, and analyzed in accordance with the increase of cement content. The peak strength and elasitc modulus increased and dilation of cemented sand was restricted by the cementation, but after breakage of the cementation, dilation increased, cohesion intercetpt and friction angle increased with the increase of cement content and strain softening behavior appeared in stress-strain curve.

This paper presents the interrelationship between undrained static and cyclic shear behavior. Laboratory works were performed through the undralned static and cyclic triaxial test using Nak-Dong River sand. And static triaxial test involved the triaxial extension test for comparison with cyclic shear behavior Cyclic triaxial test was performed with a variety of combination conditions of initial static shear stress $(q_{st})$ and cyclic stress $(q_{cy})$. In this result, the stress path of cyclic shear behavior was correspondent with static shear behavior passing the critical stress ratio (CSR) line because of the development of flow deformation. After that, a failure occurred according to failure line (FL) of static shear behavior. The stress path of cyclic shear behavior showed essentially the same with static shear behavior, although it appears a little different in test method.

This thesis is to analyze characteristic of sustainable development in the Nak-dong River. The results are summarized in the followings. 1) The principles which did not consider the equilibrium between development and environment, ecosystem, security. precautionary measure, equity could devise a plan, changes of economic land area, sand & gravel extractions from the riverbed, the river contamination cleanup, dam build 2) The rules which disregard polluter pay and opening participation in public affairs could input of too much province budget and manpower, project team. The measures to solve these problems could be proposed expansion of environmental infrastructure, sustainable sand & gravel extractions from the riverbed, fortifying the assistance of the residents who live in Dam construction site and the peripheral area of Dam, lower local fund rates in national projects, and the creation of management organization.

Collected and analyzed the coastal processes at the estuary of Nak-Dong river and its near coastal area from the history of field measurements. Introduced a numerical model to predict three dimensional topographical change which are evaluated from the nearshore wave and the wave induced current fields for the objective area, and later it were related to the development of beach and shoals. With the comparison between measured and calculated, we found that the changes on the coastline and sand spit and bar development are induced not only by artificial forces due to the construction of river dike, but also by the strong impact of wave induced current. In future days, it is expected that coastline change and sand bar development at the lee side of Jinwoo-Deung and at the front of Dadae beach.

In this study the releasing of nutrients from sediments of Nak-dong River were investigated. We perfomed lab-scale simulation experiments using field sediment and ware. Nutrients, orgarni matter, particle size of the sediments and nutrients of released water were analyzed. Analyzed results of the sediments, mainly composed of mS(muddy Sand) sedimentary facies and IL were 2.46~6.83%, T-N were 1.189~2.492 mg/kg, and T-P were 333~726 mg/kg in the study area. Analyzed results of the nutrients of released water, pH and TOC were each 7.8~9.2% and 31.7~40.8% decreased after 20 days. T-N increased steadily, and NH₃-N increased steadily then decreased, at this time NO₃-N increase. Also NH₃-N increased steadily, then decreased at this time. Furthermore release of phosphorus were mostly decreased.

In this study, shear strength characteristics of the Nak-Dong river sand in Taegu area are investigated by triaxial compression test, considering shear strain control velocity, relative density, and confining pressure. The results from Lade model and Modified Lade model are compared with the measured value in the laboratory test. The results by the change of shear strain control velocity, relative density, and confining pressure are as follows; 1) The stress limit, which can be Coulomb's law about the Nak-Dong river sand, have ranged 120~200 kpa at 0.08%/min and 120~150 kpa at 0.5%/min. These limits are smaller than that of the calcareous sand and the well-graded, quartz sand. 2) The parameters needed to Lade model and Modified Lade model are much affected by the strain control velocity and the relative density. Consequently, in the field, it is important to use parameters aptly after accurately understanding both the loading condition and subsoil condition. 3) Overall, the principal stress ratio obtained from constitutive model equations is not affected by the control velocity, but both the relative density and confining pressure affect the result of constitutive model equations. Consequently, the study on the various conditions about the relative density and confining pressure is needed to accurately predict the stress-strain behavior on the Nak-Dong river sand. 4) For the range of the used confining pressure in the study, the Lade model shows better agreements with the measured value than the Modified Lade model, comparing the measured value with the principal stress ratio at failure and the internal friction angle of failure envelope obtained from the Lade model and Modified Lade model.

Earthquakes not only produce additional load on the structures and underlying soil, but also change the strength characteristics of the soil. Therefore, in order to analyze soil structures for stability, the behaviour after earthquake must be considered. In this paper, a series of cyclic triaxial tests and monotonic triaxial tests were carried out to investigate the undrained shear strength and liquefaction strength characteristics of Nak-Dong River sand soils which were subjected to cyclic loading. The sample was consolidated in the first stage and then subjected to stress controlled cyclic loading with 0.1Hz. After the cyclic loading, the cyclic-induced excess pore water pressure was dissipated by opening the drainage valve and the sample was reconsolidated to the initial effective mean principal stress(p/sub c/'). After reconsolidation, the monotonic loading or cyclic loading were applied to the specimen. In the results, the undrained shear strength and liquefaction strength characteristics depended on the pore pressure ratio(Ur=U/p/sub c/'). The volume change following reconsolidation can be a function of cyclic-induced excess pore water pressure and the maximum double amplitude of axial strain.

Ozone Treatment is getting a common process in a water treatment plant all over the nation. Especially an advanced water treatment using ozone and biofiltration has been a typical method in the regions where using the Nak-Dong River as a drinking water source. The effectiveness of ozone treatment in a continuous flow contact system was investigated with sand filtered water of the Nak-dong River. Pilot tests of the experiments were performed three times of the year like June, August, and October 1995. Most degradable organics of sand filtered water were oxidized in the first and second contact chamber of the system. Ozone treatment was effective for the removal of UV254 absorbance. However, Noticeable removals of $KMnO_4$ demand and TOC(Total Organic Carbon) were occurred when their concentrations exceeded about 5mg/l. The organics causing $KMnO_4$ demand and TOC were degraded into lower molecular matter in an early stage of the ozone contact in the system. Dissolved oxygen concentration was increased after ozone treatment.

The results from normally consolidated isotropic drained and undrained triaxial compression tests (NCIU and NCID) on sand with high silt content were presented in this paper. The experiments were performed on specimens of Nak-dong River sand with 63% silt content under effective confined pressures, 100 kPa to 400 kPa. From test results, Sandy silt became initially compressive but eventually appeared to provide dilatancy response throughout the entire stress-strain curve The behavior of sandy silt was more difficult to characterize than that of clay and sand due to lower plastic characteristic. Especially, the samples exhibited dilatancy development during shear after failure. The shear behavior and shear strength parameters of sandy silt can be determined as stress-strain behaviors are described by the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The shear behaviors were observed increasing dilatancy volume change tendency with strain-softening tendency after failure. In this paper, the behavior of dilatancy depends on not only sand content but also fine content with low-cohesion during shear in the samples of sandy silt.
