In the estuary of Nagdong River thick marine sediments were deposited by the Holocene marine transgression. The sediments largely consist of silty clay, which is called Pusan clays in the geotechnical field. This paper presents engineering geological characteristics of Pusan clays in Beombangdong area. Overall geological environmental changes based on several geological properties are discussed and synthesized as Geological Environmental Zones. And also, engineering properties of the clays in laboratory and field are discussed and synthesized as Engineering Zones. Two zones are correlated and engineering characteristics are evaluated in view of engineering geology.

Laboratory testing of representative rock specimens is of fundamental necessity for the successful design and/or assessment of facilities associated with many kinds of underground exploitation, including the geological disposal of radioactive nuclear waste. As a fundamental and systematic study, a series of measurements of the physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties of Inada granite and Shirahama sandstone, two rock types that are widely available in Japan, have been performed. This paper presents the results of a study of the effective porosity, density, compressive and shear wave velocity, unconfined compressive strength and permeability of the two rocks. The anisotropy and the effects of confining pressure on the permeability of the rocks, as well as the relationships among the physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties, are also investigated and discussed.

Investigating the physical and chemical properties of riverine wetlands is necessary to understand their distribution characteristics and depositional environment. This study investigated the physical (particle size, color, and type) and chemical properties (organic, inorganic, and moisture contents) of sediments in Samrak wetland, located in the Nakdong River estuary area in Busan, South Korea. The particle size analysis indicated that the hydraulic conductivity values for the coarse grain and the mixture of coarse and fine grains ranged from 2.03 to 3.49×10^-1 cm s^-1 and 7.18×10^-3 to 1.24×10^-7 cm s^-1, respectively. In-situ water quality and laboratory-based chemical analyses and radon-222 measurement were performed on groundwater and surface water in the wetland and water from the nearby Nakdong River. The physical and chemical properties of Samrak wetland was characterized by the sediments in the vertical and lateral direction. The concentrations of chemical components in the wetland groundwater were distinctly higher than those in the Nakdong River water though the wetland groundwater and Nakdong River water equally belonged to the Ca-HCO₃ type.

이 연구에서는 금강 지류하천에 발달한 구하상에 부존하는 잔골재의 물성실험을 실시하여 그 결과를 KS 품질기준과 비교하여 잔골재로서의 품질을 평가하였다. 연구 결과 봉황천의 상류에 발달한 구하상에는 하류에 비하여 상대적으로 입도가 큰 잔골재가 선별적으로 많이 분포하고 있으며, 봉황천 구하상에 부존하는 잔골재 물성은 기반암의 종류에 따라 크게 좌우되는 결과를 보여 준다. 즉, 기반암종이 동일하거나 유사한 소규모 수계일 경우 잔골재 물성은 퇴적물 입도와 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 봉황천 구하상 잔골재는 밀도와 잔입자량 이외에는 전반적으로 KS 규격기준에 잘 부합되는 것으로 나타났다.

The investigation of the disc cutter wear prediction has an important guiding role in TBM equipment selection, project planning, and cost forecasting, especially when tunneling in a long-distance rock formations with high strength and high abrasivity. In this study, a comprehensive database of disc cutter wear data, geological properties, and tunneling parameters is obtained from a 1326 m excavated metro tunnel project in leptynite in Shenzhen, China. The failure forms and wear consumption of disc cutters on site are analyzed with emphasis. The results showed that 81% of disc cutters fail due to uniform wear, and other cutters are replaced owing to abnormal wear, especially flat wear of the cutter rings. In addition, it is found that there is a reasonable direct proportional relationship between the uniform wear rate (WR) and the installation radius (R), and the coefficient depends on geological characteristics and tunneling parameters. Thus, a preliminary prediction formula of the uniform wear rate, based on the installation radius of the cutterhead, was established. The correlation between some important geological properties (K_V and UCS) along with some tunneling parameters (F_n and p) and wear rate was discussed using regression analysis methods, and several prediction models for uniform wear rate were developed. Compared with a single variable, the multivariable model shows better prediction ability, and 89% of WR can be accurately estimated. The prediction model has reliability and provides a practical tool for wear prediction of disc cutter under similar hard rock projects with similar geological conditions.

Coupled thermo-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) processes are essential for the long-term performance of deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In this study, a numerical sensitivity analysis was performed to analyze the effect of rock properties on THM responses after the execution of the heater test at the Kamaishi mine in Japan. The TOUGH-FLAC simulator was applied for the numerical simulation assuming a continuum model for coupled THM analysis. The rock properties included in the sensitivity study were the Young's modulus, permeability, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficients of crystalline rock, rock salt, and clay. The responses, i.e., temperature, water content, displacement, and stress, were measured at monitoring points in the buffer and near-field rock mass during the simulations. The thermal conductivity had an overarching impact on THM responses. The influence of Young's modulus was evident in the mechanical behavior, whereas that of permeability was noticed through the change in the temperature and water content. The difference in the THM responses of the three rock type models implies the importance of the appropriate characterization of rock mass properties with regard to the performance assessment of the deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste.

우리나라의 경우 자연사면에서 발생되는 산사태는 그 원인이 대부분 집중강우에 의한 것이고, 산사태로 인한 인명 및 재산피 해도 날로 심각해지고 있는 실정이다. 경기도지역에서는 1991년부터 최근까지 산사태가 지역적으로 많이 발생 된 바 있는데, 이러한 산사태에 영향을 미치는 요인들로는 강우, 지형조건, 지질 및 토질특성 등을들 수 있다. 1991년 7월 19일부터 21일까지 3일간에 걸친 약 250mm의 집중강우로 인해 용인$\cdot$안성 지역에서 약 660여 개의 산사태가 발생되었다. 이 연구에서는 이들 지역에서 발생된 산사태에 대하여 위치, 지형, 지질, 기하형태 및 강우 등을 조사하여 산사태 발생특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 대부분의 산사태는 기반암 상부의 토층사면에서 발생되었으며 전이형슬라이드로 시작되어 유동성산사태로 변환되는 양상을 보였다. 그리고 길이는 대부분 50m 이 하로서 대체로 소규모적이다. 또한, 토질조건에 따른 산사태의 특징을 규명하기 위해 산사태가 발생한 지역과 발생하지 않은 지역에서 각각의 토층시료를 채취하여 실내 시험을 통한 토질공학적 특성을 평가하였다. 산사태 발생지역의 토질은 대체로 자갈 및 모래의 함유비가 높은 조립질인데 반하여 미 발생지역은 실트나 점토입자의 구성비가 높은 세립질이 우세하였다. 그리고 투수계수는 산사태 발생지역이 미 발생지역의 경우보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Usually, cut-slope is the term that call rock slope. Therefore, the cause of instability of cut-slope is influenced generally in lithological and structure geological qualities including weathering disintegration. Through the several case studies, we could confirm that stabilization countermeasure also should be based in geological properties.

A lot of landslides were occurred in Gangnung, Macheon and Geochang areas by Typhoons such as RUSA(2002) and MEAMI(2003). Soil properties of these areas are investigated regarding geological conditions in this study. The shallow plane failure were occurred in Gangnung and Geochang areas, whereas the deep circle failure were occurred in Macheon area. The matrix in Gangnung and Geochang areas was composed of Granite, and the matrix in Macheon area was composed of Gabbro. The disturbed and undisturbed soils were sampled in these areas. As the results of laboratory tests using sampled soils, the coefficient of permeability in Granite region is lower than that in Gabbro region. In the cases that the silt and clay contents are included less than 4% for the soils of Granite region and less than 7% for the soils of Gabbro region, the coefficients of permeability are rapidly increased for both soils. In addition, the simple equations for predicting the coefficients of permeability are proposed using the effective particle size and the silt and clay contents according to geological condition.
