In this study, a series of numerical analyses has been performed in order to evaluate the performance of a full-scale closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger constructed in Wonju. The circulation pipe HDPE, borehole and surrounding ground were modeled using FLUENT, a finite-volume method (FVM) program, for analyzing the heat transfer process of the system. Two user-defined functions (UDFs) accounting for the difference in the temperatures of the circulating inflow and outflow water and the change of the surrounding ground temperature with depth were adopted in the FLUENT model. The thermal properties of materials estimated in laboratory were used in the numerical analyses to compare the thermal efficiency of the cement grout with that of the bentonite grout used in the construction. The results of the simulation provide a verification of the in situ thermal response test data. The numerical model with the ground thermal conductivity of 4W/mK yielded the simulation result closer to the in-situ thermal response test than with the ground thermal conductivity of 3W/mK. From the results of the numerical analyses, the effective thermal conductivities of the cement and bentonite grouts were obtained to be 3.32W/mK and 2.99 W/mK, respectively.

풍화암층에 시공된 부력앵커의 거동을 현장인발시험을 통하여 분석하였다. 부력앵커는 지하철역사의 지하층에 작용하는 부력을 저항하기 위하여 시공되었다. 본 연구에서는 부력앵커의 한계인발저항력과 앵커와 지반의 경계면에서의 전단응력 전이 메커니즘에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 인발시험에서는 앵커의 정착장(2~7m)과 천공직경(108~165mm)을 변경시키면서 그 영향을 고찰하였다. 인발시험결과에 의하면 앵커의 한계인발력은 정착장의 길이 및 천공직경이 증가 할수록 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 인발시험을 통한 앵커의 한계인발력은 이러한 인자들에 따라 392~1,569kN의 범위를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 이로부터 경계면에서 227~505kPa 전단강도가 발생하는 것으로 산정되었다. 인발시험결과에 의하면 인발력의 크기가 증가할수록 전단강도의 발현정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 인발시험을 통해서 관찰된 파괴 형태는 앵커의 길이에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 앵커의 길이가 짧은 경우(2~3m) 콘 형태의 파괴가 관찰되었으며, 앵커의 길이가 증가한 경우(5~7m)는 앵커의 파괴가 앵커체와 주변지반과의 불연속면에서 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Bentonite-based grouting has been popularly used to seal a borehole installed for a closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger in a geothermal heat pump system (GHP) because of its high swelling potential and low hydraulic conductivity. The bentonite-based grout, however, has relatively lower thermal conductivity than that of ground formation. Accordingly, it is common to add some additives such as silica sand to the bentonite-based grout for enhancing thermal performance. In this study, graphite is adapted to substitute silica sand as an addictive because graphite has very high thermal conductivity. The effect of graphite on the thermal conductivity of bentonite-based grouts has been quantitatively evaluated for seven bentonite grouts from different product sources. In addition, comparisons of viscosity between applications of graphite and silica sand as additives has been carried out. In conclusion, using graphite has thermal conductivity about three times higher than that of silica sand.

Ground-source (Geothermal) heat pump (GSHP) systems can achieve a higher coefficient of performance than conventional air-source heat pump (ASHP) systems. However, GSHP systems are not widespread in Japan because of their expensive boring costs. The authors have developed a GSHP system that employs the cast-in-place concrete pile foundations of a building as heat exchangers in order to reduce the initial boring cost. In this system, eight U-tubes are arranged around the surface of a cast-in-place concrete pile foundation. The heat exchange capability of this system, subterranean temperature changes and heat pump performance were investigated in a foil-scale experiment. As a result, the average values for heat rejection were 186${\sim}$201 W/m (for pile, 25 W/m per Pair of tubes) while cooling. The average COP of this system was 4.6 while cooling; rendering this system more effective in energy saving terms than the typical ASHP systems. The initial cost of construction per unit for heat extraction and rejection is ${\yen}$72/W for this system, whereas it is f300/W for existing standard borehole systems.

Grout injection is mainly used for permeability reduction and/or improvement of the ground by injecting grout material into pores, cracks, and joints in the ground. The oscillatory grout injection method was developed to enhance the grout penetration. In order to verify the level of enhancement of the grout, field grout injection tests, both static and oscillatory tests, were performed at three job sites. The enhancement in the permeability reduction and ground improvement effect was verified by performing a core boring, borehole image processing analysis, phenolphthalein test, scanning electron microscopy analysis, variable heat test, Lugeon test, standard penetration test, and an elastic wave test. The oscillatory grout injection increased the joint filling rate by 80% more and decreased the permeability coefficient by 33-68%, more compared to the static grout injection method. The constrained modulus of the jointed rock mass was increased by 50% more with oscillatory grout injection compared to the static grout injection, indicating that the oscillatory injection was more effective in enhancing the stiffness of the rock mass.

In this study, we conducted geophysical investigations for the organization of integrated geophysical methods to detect underground cavities of ground subsidence area at the field test site, located at Yongweol-ri, Muan-gun. We examined the applicability of geophysical methods such as electrical resistivity, electromagnetic, and microgravity to cavity detection with the aid of borehole survey results. Underground cavities are widely present within the limestone bedrock overlain by the alluvial deposits in the area of the test site where the ground subsidences have occurred in the past. The limestone cavities are mostly filled with groundwater and clays in the test site. Thus, cavities have low electrical resistivity and density compared to the surrounding host bedrock. The results of the study have shown that the zones of low resistivity and density correspond to the zones of the cavities identified in the boreholes at the site, and that the geophysical methods used are very effective to detect underground cavities. Furthermore, we could map the distribution of cavities more precisely with the test results incorporated from the various geophysical methods. It is also important to notice that the microgravity method is a very promising tool since it has rarely used for the cavity detection in korea. Beyond the investigation of underground cavities, the geophysical methods are required to provide useful information for the reinforcement design for the ground subsidence areas. It is, therefore, necessary to develop integrated geophysical technique incorporating different geophysical methods to precisely map underground cavities and image the subsurface of the ground subsidence areas.

Reclamation of closed dumping grounds is a potential solution to solve land scarce problems. Traditional geotechnical investigations of closed dumping grounds face some problems, such as the emission of hazardous liquids and gases, and the lack of ground information due to the discontinuity between two boreholes. Thus, noninvasive and continuous investigation methods are needed to supplement traditional geotechnical investigations. In this paper, two types of geophysical investigation methods, Seismic Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) and 2D Resistivity, were carried out to study noninvasive and continuous site investigations for dumping grounds. The two geophysical methods are able to profile the distribution of physical properties of the fill and original materials, by which the extent of the dumping ground can be found and some anomalies in the subsurface can be located. Boreholes were used to assist in locating the dumping material-ground interfaces. The results show that dumping material-ground interfaces obtained from the two geophysical methods are roughly consistent. Moreover, attempt is made in the paper to use the geophysical methods to classify the types of dumping materials. The results show that the classification of dumping materials using the geophysical methods follows the results of the manual sorting of the dumping materials from a borehole.

본 연구는 지열원 물 대 물(water to water)히트 펌프 시스템의 냉방 및 난방 운전시 성능 특성과 경제성 평가에 관한 것이다. 5개의 보어홀당 지중 100m의 깊이로 밀폐 수직형 지중 열교환기(closed-vertical ground source)가 설치된 냉난방 시스템이 적용된 건축물에 대하여 냉난방 운전성능을 평가하였으며, 연간 소비전력을 측정하여 실제 시스템의 경제성을 분석하였다. 또한, 순환수의 입구온도에 따른 시스템의 운전 성능을 분석한 결과 난방시에는 COP가 3.0에서 4.2로 증가한 반면, 냉방시에는 5.0에서 3.7로 감소하였다. 본 실험을 통해서,대상 건축물에 대한 지열 냉난방 시스템의 수명주기비용은 기존 냉난방 시스템(보일러+에어컨)에 비해서 68%까지 절감되었으며, 시스템의 경제성을 고려해 볼 때 기존 건축물에도 지열원 냉난방 시스템을 적용하는 것이 타당하다.

일반적인 영구앵커(마찰형 앵커)는 정착장에서 지반과 그라우트의 마찰력으로 인발에 저항하는 구조이지만, 지압형 앵커는 확공부에서 발생하는 지압력으로 인발에 저항하여 지반변형을 억제하는 방식이다. 본 연구는 확공을 이용한 지압형 앵커 활용 시 합리적인 지압력 산정을 위해 수행되었으며, 지압력 산정 시 도해법, 실내실험, 수치해석적 방법을 수행하고 그 결과를 지반의 일축압축강도와 비교, 분석하였다. 도해법에서는 앵커의 지압력을 천공경($r_i$), 확장되는 천공경($r_e$), 일축압축강도(${\sigma}_c$)의 함수로 정의하였다. 실내실험을 통한 연구에서는 실내 모형을 제작하여 앵커 인장시험을 수행하여 지압력을 확인하였고, Flac 3D를 이용한 3차원 유한차분해석을 통해 지반조건별 지압력을 확인하였다. 실내실험 및 수치해석에서 도출된 지압력은 회귀분석을 통해 지압력 산정식을 제시하였다. 지압력은 실내실험에서 일축압축강도 대비 약 28.5배로 가장 큰 결과를 나타내었는데, 이는 순수 지압력 뿐만 아니라 앵커체 확장에 따른 주면마찰저항력이 함께 작용했기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 도해법과 수치해석에서 확인된 지압력은 일축압축강도의 13.3배, 9.9배로 확인되었으며, 향후 현장실험을 통한 지압력 산정결과와 비교, 분석하여 산정식에 대한 신뢰성 향상이 필요하다.
