Soybean (Glycine max), a crucial global crop, experiences yearly yield reduction due to diseases such as anthracnose (Colletotrichum truncatum) and root rot (Fusarium spp.). The use of fungicides, which have traditionally been employed to control these phytopathogens, is now facing challenges due to the emergence of fungicide-resistant strains. Streptomyces bacillaris S8 strain S8 is previously known to produce valinomycin t through a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) pathway. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of S. bacillaris S8 against C. truncatum and Fusarium sp., assessing its efficacy against soybean pathogens. The results indicate that strain S8 effectively controlled both above-ground and underground soybean diseases, using the NRPS and NRPS-related compound, suggesting its potential as a biological control in plant-microbe interactions. These findings underscore the pivotal role of the stain S8 in fostering healthy soybean microbial communities and emphasize the significance of microbiota structure studies in unveiling potent biocontrol agents.

The plane deformation and spatial seepage(PDSS) analysis was developed to consider 3D flow of excess pore water as well as plane deformation of ground. Here is newly developed an equivalent model for PDSS analysis, which was the purpose to reduce number of finite elements and to take the effects of smear and well resistance into consideration. As the result of PDSS analysis with applying the new model, it is showed that the settlement-tin e relationship by PDSS agrees well with those of Plane strain(PS) and axisymmetric analyses, irrespective of existence of untreated layer. And the excess pore pressure distribution by PDSS is relatively agreed with that of axisymmetric analysis, not with that of PS.

섬유보강재를 이용한 성토제체의 설계에서 기존의 방법은 보강재의 변형을 무시하고 흙의 변형만을 중요시하고 있다. 보강재에 의해 보강된 성토제체의 파괴면에서 보강재와 흙의 거동은 초기응력단계에서는 일체거동현상을 나타내지만 응력의 증가에 따라 변형량에서 차이를 보인다. 이러한 문제는 토공구조물의 보강재를 설계하는데 있어서 중요한 요소로서 보강효과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 PET Mat로 보강하여 축조한 성토제체에서 보강재와 흙의 응력 - 변형거동을 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 파괴면에서 보강재의 변형은 보강재의 인장강도 크기에 따라 큰 차이를 보이고 있다. 외부하중에 의해 보강재에 발생하는 최대응력은 보강재의 항복인장강도를 초과하지 않으며, 보강재에 발생하는 응력이 성토체에서 발생하는 응력이상일 때 이상적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제체의 전단파괴에 대한 안전율은 보강재의 항복인장강도가 증가할수록 증가하는데 보강재와 흙의 변형이 일치되는 이후부터는 안전율의 증가율은 거의 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper the failure of Carsington Dam was discussed based on the informations reported in the first edition of Korean Geotechnical Society News. The causes of dam failure and its influences were evaluated based on the results of the slope stability analysis. The effects of the shear strain pre-existing in the yellow clay disclosed by the post-failure site investigation and the progressive nature of the dam failure were preponderantly evaluated. Stability analysis was performed based on the proposed values of strength parameters characterizing possible field ground conditions at failure. The calculated safety factors were evaluated for different cases of strength parameters in order to find the most probable field ground condition at the dam failue.

In deep excavations for creation of underground spaces, it would be difficult to predict earth pressure, especially multilayered ground including rock strata. The earth pressures and displacements on the retention walls are measured by load cell, strain gauge and inclinometer which were installed at struts or anchors at 4 deep excavation sites in Seoul area. In this paper, the measured earth pressure from the struts or anchors are compared with Peck's empirical values, and the coefficient of the earth pressures for each strata and horizontal wall displacement are investigated. The coefficient of earth pressure distribution, a(0.65zka), in the flexible and the rigid walls was about 74% and 88% of Peck's value respecitively. The measured earth pressure distributions for the 4 sites showed about 70%∼80% of Peck's empirical values and the average earth pressure coefficients based on the measured data were 0.3 for the felted layer, 0.23 for the weathered rock and 0.19 for the weak rock. The maximum w리1 displacements were found to be less 0.2% of excavation depth.

The strain release associated with historical and instrumental earthquoke data are analyzed. In addition, the relationship between engineering intensity and cumulative frequency of earthquake occurrence is investigated. Based on the study, a seimic zoning map of the Korean peninsula is constructed. For each seismic zone, a peak ground acceleration value is determined for the aseismic designs of two types of structures. First type is general structures like buildings and the second type is special structures like nuclear power plants.

The horizontal drain method by installing drains horizontally in the ground is often used to expedite the dispersion of pore water and to increase the strength of dredged soft clay under the action of gravity or vacuum. In this study a numerical analysis method is developed to predict the consolidation process of soft ground with horizontal drains. One-dimensional self-weight consolidation theory is extended tn three-dimensions] theory with appropriate boundary conditions of horizontal drains. In the condition of pore water drainage by gravity, the behavior of the dredged clay with horizontal drains is compared with that of the clay without drains. The influence of design factors of drains on consolidation process is also analyzed.

We have investigated the electronic structures and magnetic properties of both undoped and doped bcc Ni using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) band method. A ferromagnetic ground state is obtained at the equilibrium volume of bcc Ni. When the system is under strain, the nonmagnetic ground state is stabilized. When the Ni is doped with V, the $Ni_{16-x}V_x$ material loses its magnetic properties when x > 2. We have also discussed the possible superconducting properties of $Ni_{16-x}V_x$.

The general concept of reinforced roadbed in the high-speed railway is to cope with the soft ground for the bearing capacity and settlement of foundation soil. The cyclic plate load tests were performed to determine the behavior of reinforced ground with multiple layers of geogrid underlying by soft soil. With the test results, the bearing capacity ratio, elastic rebound ratio, subgrade modulus and the strain of geogrids under loading were investigated. Based on these plate load tests, laboratory model tests under cyclic loading were conducted to estimate the effect of geogrid reinforcement in particular for the high-speed rail roadbed. The permanent settlement and the behavior of earth pressure in reinforced roadbed subjected to a combination of static and dynamic loading are presented.

This paper investigates the effects of tunnelling-induced ground movements on nearby structures, considering soil-structure interactions of different construction (ground loss) and soil characteristics. The response of four-story block structures, which are subjected to tunnelling-induced ground movements, has been investigated in different construction (ground loss) and soil conditions using numerical analysis. The structures for numerical analysis has been modelled using Discrete Element Method (DEM) to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The response of four-story block structures has been investigated with a ground movement magnitude and compared in terms of construction (ground loss) and soil conditions considering the magnitude of deformations and cracks in structures. In addition, the damage levels, which are possibly induced in structures, has been provided in terms of construction (ground loss) and soil conditions using the state of strain damage estimation criterion (Son and Cording, 2005). The results of this study will provide a background for better understandings for controlling and minimizing building damage on nearby structures due to tunnelling-induced ground movements.
