This study was carried out to analyze physicochemical properties according to the soil height and to the six types of sites that were used as planting ground in the reclaimed land from the sea, Gwangyang Bay. The physicochemical properties of the soil types were tested by t-test(p<0.01, 0.05), at each of the 6 planting ground sites(p<0.01, 0.05), and at each height(p<0.01) of the planting grounds. These areas were tested by ANOVA and were significantly different. Improved soil was better than reclaimed soil from the sea for Zelkova growth because the improved soil contained lower amounts of pH, ECe, N $a^{+}$, $Ca^{++}$, $Mg^{++}$ SAR. Due to freedom from variables such as salt content in the underground as well as the physical and chemical disturbance of the soil, favorable planting ground for tree growth was recorded at the higher grounds than at the lower ones. Soil detriment to the tree growth in the studied sites included elements such as soil hardness, and the distribution of sodium in the tree root systems. The planting grounds for the favorable growth of landscape trees were determined in the following order: the grounds of mounding> the coved ground of improved soil, and the filled ground of improved soil.l.l.l.

본 연구는 제지 플라이애시 지반안정재를 활용하여 개량토 토사 비탈면의 현장 적용을 통한 안정화 방법을 연구하였다. 개량토에 요구되는 목표강도는 500kPa이며 토사 비탈면을 개량후 식생이 발아하기 위한 압축강도는 1,000kPa 이하이다. 이 조건을 만족하기 위해 현장에서 반입된 시료를 가지고 표층개량의 주원료인 지반안정재와 혼합하여 배합설계를 거처 강도시험 및 투수시험 그리고 식생 발아시험 등 다양한 시험을 실시 하였다. 그리고 개량토로 시공된 비탈면에 대한 기존 압축시험 결과를 분석한 후 개량토의 지반정수를 제안하였다. 또한 개량토의 비탈면 현장 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 붕괴된 비탈면에 대하여 현장 시공을 실시하여 개량토의 표층부 보강평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과 보강 전에는 안정성을 확보하지 못했지만 개량토로 보강한 이후 안전율은 강우 지속시간 48시간까지 최소 안전율을 확보하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 현장 개량토의 압축강도는 설계치인 점착력 200kPa 이상을 확보하고 토양경도계 시험 결과도 규정 값인 18~23mm 이내로 확인되어 개량토 비탈면의 경우 강우에 저항성이 증대되고 표층부의 식물생육이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The cultivation of green manure crop is considered as a good management practice by increasing soil organic matter and fertility levels. This experiment was conducted to improve the soil environment under rice-based cropping system at paddy soil (fine loamy, mixed, nonacid, mesic, family of Aeric Fluventic Haplaquepts) in National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), Korea in 2006 to 2007. The variation of soil temperature in green manure plots was lower than without green manure (control) during spring season (April to May). The temperature variation of no tillage plot (broadcast before rice harvest) was the lowest among treatments. After green manure cropping, the soil bulk density and porosity ratio were improved at the top soil. The production of green manure was the highest athairy vetch and barley mixture plot by partial tillage. However, mixture treatment had no improvement on soil organic matter. After rice cropping with green manure application, soil quality was improved such as soil physical properties except mixture treatment. Therefore, we suggest that soil quality should be improved by green manure cultivation under rice-based cropping system.

To suggest the fundamental data for development of the soil improvement method which increases the permeability in aquifer by jet water, laboratory tests were performed. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The diameter of the improved section was maximum value when the time of water jetting was about 4 minutes, and it was not increased according as the time of water jetting was longer than 4 minutes. 2. It appeared that 2.78 mm in diameter of the nozzle was the most optimum size in the condition of using the 1/8 HP - pump and the diameter of improved section in that case was 15.9cm 3. According to removing fine - soil particles, the original soil was improved, suitable to the purpose of improving, and then the permeability of the improved soil was 100 times of that of the original soil. 4. As the improved soil was satisfied to the design criteria of filter materials, the improvement method in this study will be useful for constructing underground collecting channels or underground collecting drainage canals.

This paper studies the swelling and strength characteristics of unimproved and improved expansive soils in terms of the swell potential, swelling pressure, rate of secondary swelling, unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio (CBR). The admixtures used in this study are locally available cement and fly ash. The soils used in this study were taken from the Mae Moh power plant, Lampang Province, in northern Thailand. A conventional consolidation test apparatus was used to determine the swelling of the soil specimen. The optimum admixture contents are determined to efficiently reduce the swelling of unimproved soil. The rate of secondary swelling for unimproved soil is within the range of highly plastic montmorillonite clay, whereas the specimens improved with optimum admixture contents can be classified as non-swelling kaolinite. A soil type affects the swelling pressure. Expansive soil improvement with fly ash alone can reduce swelling percentage but cannot enhance the unconfined compressive strength and CBR. The strength and swelling characteristics can be predicted well by the swelling percentage in this study.

The practical usage of underground space and demand for vehicular tunnels necessitate the construction of non-circular wide rectangular tunnels. However, constructing large tunnels in soft clayey soil conditions with no ground improvement can lead to excessive ground deformations and collapse. In recent years, in situ ground improvement techniques such as jet grouting and deep cement mixing are often utilized to perform cement-stabilisation around the tunnel boundary to prevent large deformations and failure. This paper discusses the stability characteristics and failure behaviour of a wide rectangular tunnel in cement-treated soft clays. First, the plane strain finite element model is developed and validated with the results of centrifuge model tests available in the past literature. The critical tunnel support pressures computed from the numerical study are found to be in good agreement with those of centrifuge model tests. The influence of varying strength and thickness of improved soil surround, and cover depth are studied on the stability and failure modes of a rectangular tunnel. It is observed that the failure behaviour of the tunnel in improved soil surround depends on the ratio of the strength of improved soil surround to the strength of surrounding soil, i.e., q_ui/q_us, rather than just q_ui. For low q_ui/q_us ratios,the stability increases with the cover; however, for the high strength improved soil surrounds with q_ui >> q_us, the stability decreases with the cover. The failure chart, modified stability equation, and stability chart are also proposed as preliminary design guidelines for constructing rectangular tunnels in the improved soil surrounded by soft clays.

When a structure is constructed at the site composed of soil, the behavior of a structure is much affected by the characteristics of soil. Therefore, the effect of soil-structure interaction is an important consideration in the design of a structure at the site composed of soil. Precise analysis of soil-structure interaction requires a proper description of soil profile. However, most of approaches are nearly unpractical for soil exhibiting material discontinuity and complex geometry since those cannot consider precisely complicated soil profiles. To overcome these difficulties, an improved integration method is adopted and enables to integrate easily over an element with material discontinuity. As a result the mesh can be generated rapidly and highly structured, leading to regular and precise stiffness matrix. The influence of soil profile on the response is examined by the presented method. It is seen that the presented method can be easily used on soil-structure interaction problems with complicated soil profile and produce reliable results regardless of material discontinuities.

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.

Quantitative variability of AMSR2 (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2) soil moisture data shows that the remotely sensed soil moisture is underestimated during Spring and Winter seasons and is overestimated during Summer and Fall seasons. Therefore the bias correction of the remotely sensed data is essential for the purpose of water resource management. To enhance their applicability, the bias of AMSR2 soil moisture data was corrected using ground observation data at Cheorwon Chuncheon, Suwon, Cheongju, Jeonju, and Jinju sites. Test statistics demonstrated that the correlation coefficient R is improved from 0.107~0.328 to 0.286~0.559 and RMSE is improved from 9.46~14.36 % to 5.38~9.62 %. Bias correction using ground network data improved the applicability of remotely sensed soil moisture data.

본 연구는 인공지반의 녹화에 보편적으로 이용되고 있는 자연토양, 개량토양, 인공토양에 따른 식물의 생육상태를 밝히기 위해 몇 가지 토양을 배합조성하고 이에 따른 목본식물(자산홍)의 생장상태를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 먼저 토양종류에 따른 목본식물의 생장인자 간에 상관분석을 실시한 결과 지하부의 생장은 공극량 등이 중요하게 관여하고 있으며, 지상부의 경우는 전질소비가 생장에 중요한 영향요인으로 작용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 토양재료중 자연토양(밭흙)은 지상의 생장(수고, 엽수, 엽폭, 절화수)과 지상부의 건물중, 지하부의 건물중 모두 가장 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 인공토양(버미큘라이트)은 지상의 생장(수고, 엽수, 엽폭, 절화수 등)은 좋지 않았으나 상대적으로 지하부의 건물중이 월등히 높았으며 이러한 지하부의 우수한 생육에 기인하여 총건물중도 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 인공토양인 버미큘라이트의 경우 지닌 양분이 미약하여 지상의 생육상태는 양호하지 못했으나 통기성 및 투수성 등이 좋아 지하부의 생육에 결정적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 밭흙을 주재료로 한 개량토양 중 버미큘라이트와 훈탄을 배합한 처리구는 지상부, 지하부 모두 중간정도의 생장상태를 나타냈다. 부숙톱밥을 혼합한 개량토양의 경우 총건물중은 인공토양(버미큘라이트) 다음으로 높았으며 나머지 수고, 엽수, 엽폭, 절화수 및 지상부의 건물중 등 지상부의 생장상태는 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 유기물 재료 중에서도 훈탄보다는 부숙톱밥이 들어간 배합토에서 생육이 좋은 것으로 나타났다.
