Rehabilitation work is required to increase well productivity, which decreases with the elapsed time of pumping owing to the clogging of the water well. Clogging causes not only a reduction in the well productivity but also a deterioration of the water quality. For unclogging and rehabilitating wells, several techniques are used such as brushing, air surging, surge blocks, and gas impulse. In this study, the high-pressure air impulse technique, which effectively and economically rehabilitates wells, was applied to a riverbank filtration site in Korea for the same objective. At most of the wells, the hydraulic parameters (transmissivity, storage coefficient, and specific capacity) were increased by the application of the high-pressure air impulse technique. The well loss change values also indicate an increase in the hydraulic parameters by the air impulse implementation. Thus, the high-pressure air impulse technique can be efficiently and economically applied to water and riverbank filtration wells for rehabilitating the decreased productivity.

Several well resistance effects induced by bending, confining stress, temperature, bubbles, and apparent opening size have been considered and researched for the reasonable PBD design. The effect of apparent opening size(AOS), however, was not extensively studied and the clogging effect by AOS was not clearly researched. In this paper, the slurry consolidation test which 4 types of PBD are installed in large slurry consolidometer($H{\times}D$, $2.0m{\times}1.2m$) is performed to investigate the clogging effect by filter's AOS. The results show that the internal clogging is observed all types of PBD, and a quantity of inflowed soil particles are increased at the lower part of PBD and the kink zone. In addition, the internal clogging phenomenon does not relate with the shape and size of PBD. In filter's AOS test, it was easily observed that soil particles bigger than AOS of tested filter passed PBD filter by SEM. This paper demonstrates that the reduction of discharge capability may be accelerated by internal clogging at the kink zone.

Drilling at unconsolidated layer can make the aquifer disturbed and reduce a productivity of groundwater well. Surge block and air surging were applied to a pumping well located in Jeungsan-ri, Changnyung-gun, to improve a well efficiency by removing clogging and fine-grained slime. Two experimental log-linear equations, $y_1=-0.1769\;ln(x_1)+0.4960$ and $y_2=-84.3358\;ln(x_2)+512.8162$, were proposed in this site, in which $x_1$ and $x_2$ are the number of surging event, $y_1$ is the amount of slime, and $y_2$ is a recovery time of groundwater level after air surging. Well loss exponent (P) decreased after surging, from 3.422 to 1.439, and the groundwater inflow from aquifer happened in all directions around a well with gradually increasing the homogeneity in a local aquifer's hydraulic property. It was revealed that long-term well development should be done in the pumping well which is located in unconsolidated sediments to increase a well productivity.

In this study, the charactersistics of horizontal drains used to stabilize the dredged fill are investigated experimentally by doing tensile strength test, discharge capacity test, and filter clogging test. The types of the drains selected for the study are filament type (Tyre-E), embossed type(Type-P) and heat bonded cubic type with the thickness 10mm(Type-010) and 5mm(Type-05). The results of tensile strength and discharge capacity test show that the performance of drain Type-O10 was better than the other drains. This is caused by the fact that the lattice shape core of drain Type-O10 has strong rigidity and minimizes the loss of the sectional area of discharge with increased confining pressure. Analyzing the compatibility of filters by the results of the strength characteristics test and clogging test, the filter of filament type drain produced with polyester clothed polyamide performed well.

강우유출수 오염물 제거를 위한 침투시설에서 모래필터가 널리 적용된다. 공극폐색, 즉 필터 여재에 부유물이 침전되면 침투능이 저하되어 침투시설의 기능과 수명이 단축된다. 침투시설의 효과적인 설계 및 유지관리를 위해 모래필터 내의 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 폐색 특성을 알아야 한다. 이 논문에서는 여재 깊이 변화에 따른 모래필터의 물리적 폐색 특성변화를 검토하였다. 연직방향, 변수위 침투조건에서 시행한 실험실 컬럼 침투실험으로부터 이들 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 폐색현상의 결과로서 필터의 여재 깊이가 증가할수록 부유물 제거효율이 증가하지만, 필터의 성능유지 기간은 감소하는 현상을 보였다. 모든 여재 깊이 조건에서 여재 깊이의 상부 15%에서 100~250 μm의 부유물이 침전되면서 폐색현상이 발현하는 조기폐색이 발생했다. 결과에 근거하여 침투시설의 첫번째 유지관리 시침투능 확보를 위해 여재깊이의 상부 15%를 긁어내는 방법을 제안할 수 있었다.

To improve the grout penetration characteristics, vibration method was adopted in this study. The grout material perturbed by cyclic vibration is injected into the ground. By applying the vibrating flow system, cement particles will become less adhesive and the clogging tendency will be decreased. A series of pilot-scale chamber tests were performed to verify the enhancement of the groutability by applying the vibratory grout injection; assessment on change of the lumped parameter $\theta$ which represents a barometer of clogging phenomenon was made. Moreover, the effect of vibratory grout injection through the joint was also investigated using artificially made rock joints. Experimental results as well as analytical results show that the grout penetration depth can be substantially improved by vibration grouting. Moreover, it was found that enhancement of the permeation grouting due to vibratory injection is more dominant at low grouting pressure of less than 400kPa.

Increased impervious surface caused by rapid urbanization serves to produce the discharge of non-point source pollutants such as total suspended solid (TSS). There exist various methods of removing TSS, including a filtration process using granular media (a well-known method to be practically used after the consideration of removal efficiency, clogging, and backwashing efficiency). To determine the TSS removal capability of the filter, we initially performed lab-scale experiments which assessed flow rates, influent concentrations, permeability co-efficients, the particular shapes of suspended solids and potential clogging, and also evaluated TSS removal efficiency when applied to filtration facility in a pilot-scale. In low filtration flux condition, the removal efficiency of suspended solids was more than 95 %, while decreased to 83% in high filtration flux. Regarding the clogging aspect of the experiment, total cumulative solids were loaded up to $19.15kg/m^2$, and TSS removal efficiency was noted to commence to decrease when the loaded solids exceeded $9.0kg/m^2$. It was also noted, however, that superior efficiency was maintained for six hours. In addition, for pilot-scale experiment, the removal efficiency was still high enough (83.4 %) for the solid concentration of 140 ~ 343 mg SS/L and after backwashing, head loss was recovered to 92 ~ 95 % during two hour filtration. With these results, It was confirmed that lifetime of the filter applied to the test was prolonged due to the high treatment efficiency and good backwashing efficiency for the cumulative solids load.

금정산 일대 지하수공으로부터 공막힘 물질(clogging material)의 형성원인과 특성을 연구하였다. 공막힘 원시료는 레이저입도측정기를 이용하여 입도분포 분석을 하였고, 광물분석, 미세구조특성분석을 위하여 X-선회절분석(XRD)과 전자현미경(SEM, TEM)분석을 실시하였다. 대부분의 시료들은 로그정규분포에 가까운 입도분포의 특성을 나타내나 일부 시료에서는 여러 구간에서 높은 빈도분포를 보인다. 이 같은 입도특징은 입자의 형성단계가 다양하여 입자의 크기가 다르거나, 물질의 종류 자체가 다름을 의미한다. XRD 분석결과에 의하면, 공막힘 물질들은 주로 침철석, 페리하이드라이트, 래피도크로사이트와 같이 결정도가 낮은 철수산화물이 우세하며, 일부는 철, 망간, 아연의 금속물질, 또는 석영, 장석, 운모 및 스멕타이트 등으로 구성된다. 적갈색 시료의 경우 철수산화물, 암적색 및 암흑색 시료는 철수산화물, 망간수산화물, 회백색 및 연갈색 시료는 스멕타이트, 석영, 장석, 철수산화물 등으로 이루어진다. SEM하에서 공막힘 물질은 주로 철수산화물과 미량의 암편으로 구성되는데, 철박테리아의 일종인 Gallionella와 Leptothrix가 철수산화물과 흔히 수반된다. TEM하에서 철박테리아는 협막과 내부에 철수산화물의 덩어리를 산점상의 형태로 보유하고 있어 대사과정에서 철의 침전작용과 밀접하게 관련됨을 보인다. 석영, 장석, 백운모와 같은 조암광물은 지하수공 분포지역인 금정산 일대의 화강암편으로부터 유래한 것으로 토양이나 대수층으로부터 유래되었다. 지하수공의 성능을 잘 유지하려면 공막힘물질의 형성원인 규명이 중요한 과제이다.
