We successfully fabricated C-doped ex-situ $MgB_2$ wires using two different methods such as mechanical alloying(MA) and combined process(CP) of in-situ and ex-situ. In the MA, the precursor powder was prepared with a mixture of $MgB_2$ and 1 at% C powders by planetary ball milling for 0-100 h. In the CP, on the other hand, C-doped $MgB_2$ powder was prepared with Mg, B, and C powders by in-situ process via compaction, sintering, and crushing. The powders prepared by two methods were loaded into Fe tube and then the assemblages were drawn by a conventional powder-in-tube technique. The MA treatment of C-added $MgB_2$ decreased the particles/grains size and resulted in C-doping into $MgB_2$ after sintering, improving the critical current density($J_c$) in high external magnetic field. For the C-doped $MgB_2$ wire by MA for 25 h, the $J_c$ was $4.1{\times}10^3A/cm^2$ at 5 K and 6.4 T, which was 5.9 times higher than that of pure and untreated $MgB_2$ wire. The CP also provided C-doping into $MgB_2$ and improved the $J_c$ in high magnetic field; the C-doped $MgB_2$ wire fabricated by CP exhibited a $J_c$ being 2.3 times higher than that of the ex-situ wire used commercial $MgB_2$ powder at 5 K and 6.0 T($2.7{\times}10^3A/cm^2\;vs.\;1.2{\times}10^3A/cm^2$).

Soil stabilization can make the soils becoming more stable by using an admixture to the soil. Lime stabilization enhances the engineering properties of soil, which includes reducing soil plasticity, increasing optimum moisture content, decreasing maximum dry density and improving soil compaction. Silica fume is utilized as a pozzolanic material in the application of soil stabilization. Silica fume was once considered non-environmental friendly. In this paper, the materials required are kaolin grade S300, lime and silica fume. The focus of the study is on the determination of the physical properties of the soils tested and the consolidation of kaolin mixed with 6% silica fume and different percentages (3%, 5%, 7% and 9%) of lime. Consolidation test is carried out on the kaolin and the mixtures of soil-lime-silica fume to investigate the effect of lime stabilization with silica fume additives on the consolidation of the mixtures. Based on the results obtained, all soil samples are indicated as soils with medium plasticity. For mixtures with 0% to 9% of lime with 6% SF, the decrease in the maximum dry density is about 15.9% and the increase in the optimum moisture content is about 23.5%. Decreases in the coefficient of permeability of the mixtures occur if compared to the coefficient of permeability of kaolin soft clay itself reduce the compression index (Cc) more than L-SF soil mix due to pozzolanic reaction between lime and silica fume and the optimum percent of lime-silica fume was found to be (5%+6%) mix. The average coefficient of volume compressibility decreases with increasing the stabilizer content due to pozzolanic reaction happening within the soil which results in changes in the soil matrix. Lime content +6% silica fume mix can reduce the coefficient of consolidation from at 3%L+6%SF, thereafter there is an increase from 9%L+6%SF mix. The optimal percentage of lime silica fume combination is attained at 5.0% lime and 6.0% silica fume in order to improve the shear strength of kaolin soft clay. Microstructural development took place in the stabilized soil due to increase in lime content of tertiary clay stabilized with 7% lime and 4% silica fume together.

지반 함몰 위험성에 대한 지질학적 인자는 매우 다양하다. 어떠한 지질학적 요인 또는 외부적인 영향에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있으며 동일한 지질학적 요인 내에서도 여러 가지 다른 물성값에 의해 지반함몰 영향인자가 결정될 수 있다. 다수의 논문 및 연구사례를 검토 한 결과 크게 7가지 범주의 지반함몰 요인이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 공동의 존재 여부에 따라 상재하중의 심도 및 두께가 지반침하에 영향을 줄 수 있고, 토사와 암반으로 구성된 지반에서는 그 경계면의 심도와 배향이 지배적 요소이다. 이 중 토사지반에서는 좀 더 다양한 영향인자로 구성이 되어있는데 토사의 종류, 전단강도, 상대밀도 및 다짐도, 건조단위중량, 함수비, 액성한계가 그것이다. 암반지반에서는 암석의 종류와 주 단열과의 거리 및 RQD가 영향인자로 구성될 수 있으며 수리지질학적 측면에서 접근했을 경우 강우 강도, 하천과의 거리와 심도, 투수계수 및 지하수위 변동이 영향을 줄 수 있다. 외부적인 요소도 지반함몰에 영향을 줄 수 있는데 굴착심도와 흙막이 벽과의 거리, 굴착공사 시 지하수 처리공법, 하수관로 등 인공시설물 존재 유무 등이 이에 해당된다. 최근 도심지의 지하구조물 건설에서 지반함몰 요소를 평가하는 것은 필수적일 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서 분석한 지반함몰 영향인자가 지반함몰위험 평가에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
