The effect of cutting-off the leakage was identified by the cement based wall mass constructed in underground, as complete facilities for reinforcement in shear strength of landfill which was subjected to circular failure and for cutting-off the leachate from the costal waste landfill. By (1) visual inspection after underground excavating and (2) compressive strength test for core of underground wall, it could be identified that quality of wall mass constructed in underground was so effective, and by additional test, so as (3) in-situ permeability test in the hole after coring wall mass, (4) analyzing the characteristics of basic components and their profiles through the series of chemical experiments and (5) deciding the general distribution patterns from the chromatograms using GC-MS, it could be identified that watertight and cutting-off the leachate of wall mass constructed in underground was very effective. Therefore, it is concluded that five types of tests suggested in this study can judge the effect of cutting-off the leakage or infiltration of very high concentrated leachate from the waste landfill.

On the flow of groundwater, the effect of consecutive column-wall in underground as a hydraulic barrier could be identified by conventional geotechnical methods ((1)visualiy identification of wall mass after underground excavating, (2)uniaxial compressive strength test for core of wall mass in underground, (3)in-situ permeability test in the hole after coring wall mass). However, for the cut off the leakage or infiltration of very high concentrated leachate from the waste landfill or the contaminated groundwater, the waterproof effect of consecutive column-wall in underground should be verified more objectively, by in-situ measuring of pH, temperature and salinity. and by evaluating of their consistency and similarity throughout analyzing the characteristics of basic components and their profiles through the series of chemical experiments. Furthermore, its waterproof effect could be verified additionally throughout deciding the similarity more simply by comparing the general distribution patterns including the difference of high and low peaks from the chromatograms using GC-MS for surrounding groundwater.

This paper reports the relation of concrete setting characteristic and lateral pressure in mass concrete wall such as side wall of LNG underground storage tank. In order to estimate the lateral pressure, initial setting time of low heat cement concrete with type of mineral admixture was measured for three concrete mixtures(W/P=41.6%) containing limestone powder, fly ash, and slag powder. As a result, the lateral pressure of the concrete containing limestone powder was the smallest than those of other concretes as well as the initial setting time.

There are a number of ways to reduce the ground vibrations, one of which is by installing underground walls. Model tests for ground vibration have been conducted in recent years, but limited attention has been paid to underground wall which can reduce high vibrations. Up to date, only barriers have been actually installed in dry sand because of many unknown factors subsisting on the behavior of the ground. The characteristics of vibration sources, ground conditions and wall barriers have not been well understood yet, therefore centrifugal modeling was adopted to examine all these characteristics. This paper describes a ball dropping system, which can generate a pulse wave propagation through soil mass, and the test results show the effectiveness of underground wall barrier in reducing mechanical vibration.

In this study, fracture network in rock mass was interpreted using borehole wall images obtained by televiewer. The orientation and JRC value of major joint set were evaluated adopting image analysis techniques, of which process were written in macro-program code. As linking JRC to joint stiffness using Barton-Bandis model, fracture network map was produced for application to jointed rock modelling in numerical analysis of underground structure.

It is necessary to study on thermo-hydro-mechanical effect at rock mass performing project such as radiowaste disposal in deep rock mass. In this study, thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling analysis which is considered interaction and the variation of rock properties induced by temperature increase was performed for the circular shaft when appling temperature of 20$0^{\circ}C$ at the shaft wall. The shaft is diameter of 2 m and under hydrostatic stress of 5 MPa. In the cases, thermal expansion by temperature increase progress from the wall to outward and thermal expansion could induce tensile stress over the tensile strength of rock mass at the wall. When rock properties were given as a function of temperature, thermal expansion increased, tensile stress zone expanded. Lately, water flow is activated by increase of permeability and decrease of viscosity.

It is only possible through the image analysis of borehole wall and the core recovered from borehole constructed in rock mass that the real information about geologic characteristics in rock mass is directly obtained in primary research. Monitoring apparatus with multi-functional utility has implemented and applied in-situ condition for finding the geologic condition of target area. But, this apparatus is very expensive to be applied at the risk of loss during monitoring and cause hard work for moving them to the determined position. This paper shows the underground imaging from the borehole information obtained by a borehole camera with the simple utility and low cost enough to investigate the characteristics of borehole wall. Monitoring for this has been done in open-pit mine located at the northeastern part of Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan, and finally the three dimensional imaging of geological discontinuity was discussed relative to the field condition.

Ground vibration is one of the most undesirable effects induced by blast operation in mountain tunnels, which could cause negative impacts on the residents living nearby and adjacent structures. The ground vibration effects can be well represented by peak particle velocity (PPV) and corner frequency ($f_c$) on the ground. In this research, the PPV and the corner frequency of the mountain surface above the large-span tunnel of the new Badaling tunnel are observed by using the microseismic monitoring technique. A total of 53 sets of monitoring results caused by the blast inside tunnel are recorded. It is found that the measured values of PPV are lower than the allowable value. The measured values of corner frequency are greater than the natural frequencies of the Great Wall, which will not produce resonant vibration of the Great Wall. The vibration effects of associated parameters on the PPV and corner frequency which include blast charge, rock mass condition, and distance from the blast point to mountain surface, are studied by regression analysis. Empirical formulas are proposed to predict the PPV and the corner frequency of the Great Wall and surface structures due to blast, which can be used to determine the suitable blast charge inside the tunnel.

This study is intended to investigate the geotechnical behavior of jointed mass on tunnel excavation experimentally. Laboratory test were conducted in various conditions of distance from joint to tunnel and in-situ stress ratio ($K_0$). In case, the ground around the tunnel that has the joint angle $90^{\circ}$ generate the greatest influence in crown and far shoulder from joint. If the in-situ stress ratio is low, tangential stress of side wall that is opposite side of the joint is increased more than in crown. Otherwise in case, joint angle $45^{\circ}$, the generated compress stress is found out that left side of the tunnel of near the joint has influence on stability of the tunnel about 3 times than non-jointed rock.

The Yi Sun-Sin grand bridge is the suspension bridge which connects Myodo and Gwangyang. It is over the main navigation channel of Gwangyang Harbor. South anchorage(AN1, Myodo side) of the bridge is designed as rock anchored type. It sustains using the resistance of the underground rock's mass in Myodo. As this type of anchorage can minimize the exposure of the structure, It is economically efficient and environmentally friendly. North anchorage (AN2, Gwangyang side) is designed as the gravity type. This anchorage is 68 meters in diameter and use its own weight to support. Instead of normal rectangular diaphragm wall, the circular shape diaphragm wall is adopted to the north anchorage. It doesn't need to use internal temporary facilities, so it can significantly improve the constructability of the structure.
