The Honam-Jeju, Korea-Japan, and Korea-China subsea tunnel construction projects have drawn significant attention since the early 2000s. These subsea tunnels are much deeper than most existing natural shallow sea tunnels linking coastal areas. Thus, the need for developing new technologies for the site selection and construction of deep subsea tunnels has recently emerged, with the launch of a research project titled "Development of Key Subsea Tunnelling Technology" in 2013. A component of this research, an analysis of deep subsea geological structure, is currently underway. A ground investigation, such as a borehole or geophysical investigation, is generally carried out for tunnel design. However, when investigating a potential site for a deep subsea tunnel, borehole drilling requires equipment at the scale of offshore oil drilling. The huge cost of such an undertaking has raised the urgent need for methods to indirectly assess the local geological structure as much as possible to limit the need for repeated borehole investigations. This study introduces an indirect approach for assessing the geological structure of the seafloor through a submarine bathymetry analysis. The ultimate goal here is to develop an automated approach to the analysis of submarine geological structures, which may prove useful in the selection of future deep subsea tunnel sites.

This study describes the influence factors related to slope failure pattern and dimension in the southern Kyounggi area. Intrusive and metamorphic rocks are distributed in the study area. Geological condition, rainfall property and slope geometry are influence on slope failure characteristics in the study we& Geological factors related to slope failure are rock type, geological structure and weathering condition. Because of deep soil (RS-CW) depth of granite region, circular failure type is major failure pattern in granite region. Almost granite slopes with circular or surface failure pattern are failed during heavy rainfall season. But typical wedge failure type related to geological structure factor is a main failure pattern of metamorphic rock slope. Additionally failure dimension is influenced by geological factors and several factors, i.e. natural slope condition, failure type, rainfall intensity and etc. failure height/width ratio and thickness/length ratio of granite slope are 0.88 and 0.23. But the ratios of metamorphic rock slope are 1.36 and 0.19.

Cu, which exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in underground environments, has been investigated as a canister material for use in the deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuels. In this study, the technical viability of atmospheric plasma spraying for producing Cu-coated canisters was investigated. A high-purity Cu film (millimeter scale) was deposited onto a stainless-steel substrate using a plasma gun with a shroud structure. Potentiodynamic polarization studies revealed that the Cu film exhibited a sufficiently low corrosion rate in the groundwater electrolyte. In addition, no pitting corrosion was observed on the Cu film surface after accelerated corrosion studies. A prototype cylindrical Cu film was fabricated on a 1/20 scale on a stainless-steel tube to demonstrate the scalability of atmospheric plasma spraying in producing Cu-coated canisters.

지구물리 탐사는 대전대학교에 위치한 자연사면의 상부에서 2개 측선을 실시하였다. 전기비저항 탐사와 탄성파 굴절법 탐사는 천부에 퍼한 지층 경계, 풍화대 지역 및 지질 특성을 파악하기 위해 실시한 반면, AMT 탐사는 비교적 깊은 심도에 대한 정보를 얻기 위해 측선 2에서 병행하였다. 탐사 결과를 보면, 전기비저항 탐사와 탄성파 굴절법 탐사는 찾고자 하는 지질 특성에 관련하여 서로 일치하는 양상으로 나타났으며, AMT 탐사는 전반적인 기반암의 분포와 파쇄대에 대한 영상을 제시하였다. 그러므로 자연사면에서 복합 물리탐사의 적용은 지하 구조에 대해 상세한 정보를 제공하므로, 이를 통해 사면붕괴에 대해 보다 정확한 해석을 할 수 있다.

고준위방사성폐기물처분을 위한 부지특성평가 기술을 구축하고, 이를 활용하여 심부지질환경을 이해하기 위해 1997년부터 지금까지 한국원자력연구원 주변 지역을 고준위폐기물처분을 위한 연구지역으로 선정하여 다양한 지질 관련 연구를 수행해왔다. 특히, 2002년에는 고준위폐기물의 처분 대상 심도의 시추공(지하 500 m)을 굴착하였으며, 2006년에는 지하처분연구시설(KURT, KAERI Underground Research Tunnel)을 준공하여 연구지역에 대한 심부지질환경 규명을 위해 노력하고 있다. 현재, 지하처분연구터널의 좌측 연구용 모듈 내에 500 m 길이의 장심도 시추공을 굴착하여 다양한 부지특성평가 연구를 수행 중에 있다. 본 연구는 고준위폐기물의 심지층 처분을 위한 요소 기술인 심부영역의 부지특성평가기술 구축을 위해 장심도 시추공 자료를 이용하여 KURT 주변의 지질구조 분석하였다. 연구지역의 장심도 시추공에서 지구물리탐사, 시추공 지질조사 등 다양한 현장 조사를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 총 7개의 지질구조를 도출하였다. 이 연구 결과는 KURT 지역의 부지특성연구의 주요한 한 부분으로서 기존에 구축된 지질모델을 보완하는데 이용될 예정이다.

한국의 대심도 (>40m 깊이) 터널 공사 시에 터널 붕괴 사고가 종종 일어나고 있으며, 도심지 지하공간의 얕은 심도에 인공적으로 조성된 지반에는 자연 공동뿐만 아니라 상수도관, 하수도관, 전력구 및 지하철 건설로 인한 인위적인 공동들이 복잡하게 분포되어 있다. 대심도 터널 굴착을 위해서는 이러한 다공질의 특성을 보이는 다양한 지반의 특성 및 지질구조가 지반의 안전에 미치는 영향을 이해하여야 한다. 본 연구는 국내외 사례를 바탕으로 한국의 대심도 굴착에서 암반의 위험 산정을 위한 위험 인자를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 대심도 터널 굴착시 지반의 안정성에 영향을 주는 총 7개의 카테고리들과 총 38개의 인자들이 도출되었다. 가중치가 상대적으로 높은 인자들은 단층 및 단층점토, 차응력, 암종, 지하수 및 머드 유입, 암석의 일축압축강도, 터널 단면의 크기, 터널 상부 암반의 두께, 카르스트 및 계곡지형, 습곡, 석회암의 협재, 지하수위 변동, 터널 심도, 암맥, RQD, 절리 특성, 이방성, 암반파열(rockburst) 등으로 나타났다.

The DCM(Deep Cement Mixing) Method was introduced domestically in 1985 and has been applied widely to improve stability, increase bearing capacity and reduce settlement of the structure. It has been only performed by the combined equipment to improve the soft ground in coastal areas. But it has qualify-control problems such as interference of waves and improving depth, etc. Therefore DCM Barge of specialist equipment, named by Dong Ji Ho, was equipped with three mixing shafts with four rod and installed GPS system In itself, had been developed in 2005 for the purpose of solving the above problems. This paper represents about Dong Ji Ho's qualify-control system as well as it's first domestic application to in-situ trial test and the original design of the Ulsan breakwater site.

As a part of the study to know the deep geological structure of the Ogcheon Zone. gravity survey is performed along the survey line of which direction is roughly perpendicular to major faults of the Zone. Recent studies for petrology. geochemistry. and structural geology in south-western Ogcheon Zone are outlined. Raw gravity data are corrected to obtain Bouguer anomalies and the anomalies are interpreted to obtain subsurface structures along the survey line. The subterranean density discontinuities determined from the power spectrum method are appeared at depths of 15.4 km and 2.8 km. It is considered that the depth of 15.4 km indicates the boundary between upper and lower crust. Probably the depth of 2.8 km represents the boundary between upper volcanic formations and granites. Alternatively. the observed Bouguer anomalies are interpreted in terms of lateral density variation model. Finally. the subterranean geological structure to satisfy the Bouguer anomalies is presented through the iterative forward method in which results obtained from surface geological informations and from the inverse method are adopted as an initial model.

Recently, the cases which are constructed close by neighboring structure or underground structure are on the increase to get the utmost out of the land exploitation of underground space in the downtown area. As the building becomes larger, the excavation depth is getting deep, and the excavation area is getting, wide too. These are frequent occasions that the application of Strut or Anchor method is difficult, because of site boundary, civil application and the ground condition. Therefore, to solve these problem, we analyze and compare design with measuring data, change the design factor and show the improvement of course through the application of self-supported diaphragm wall using counterfort technique which is a new method. It is expected to be a contribution to the suitable exploitation method of construction.

This work describes the development of a numerical module with a multiphysics structure to simulate the thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical behavior of compacted bentonites. First, the conceptual model, based on the state-of-the-art formulation for clay-based engineered barriers in deep geological repositories, is described. Second, the advantages of multiphysics-based modules are highlighted. Then, the guidelines to develop a code using such tools are outlined, presenting an example of implementation. Finally, the simulation of three tests that illustrate the behavior of compacted bentonites assesses the scope of the developed code. The satisfactory results obtained, and the relative simplicity of implementation, show the opportunity of the modeling strategy proposed.
