The weathering process of rocks leads to the reduction of geotechnical bearing capacity. The weathering of granite is frequently used to refer to the degradation of geotechnical property in the design and construction of infra-structure. In this study, the range of values of CIA (chemical index of alteration) and the change of mineral compositions by weathering have been analysed with igneous rock, which covers 45.5% in South Korean territory. Several weathering indices were studied for various rocks found in Korea and significant relationships between different indices were delineated via statistical analysis. The applicability of CIA was found to be the most significant among all weathering indicies. The composition of illite, the secondary weathering residual, generally increases for the felsic rock, and swelling clay material is not included. The weathering of felsic rock will follow a sequential process, starting from bed rock, illite, and chlorite to kaoline. The mafic rock will show weathering process, from bed rock, smectite, and chlorite to kaoline. The intermediate rocks such as andesite and tuff will show similar weathering procedure and the composition of kaoline, chlorite, and smectite tends to increase more than that of illite when the mafic rock is dominated. This means the increase of rock material which has high CEC (cation exchange capacity) during secondary weathering process. However, the characteristics of a specific rock cannot be completely analyzed using merely CIA, since it is exclusively based on chemical composition and corresponding alteration. The CIA can be used to quantify the weathering process in a limited range, and further considerations such as rock composition, strength characteristics will be required to configure the comprehensive weathering impact on any specific region.

The present paper is a part of a study aimed at gaining information on the origin, mode of deposition, and characteristics of volcanic soils in Jeju. Volcanic activity of Jeju island has extremely influenced on the formation of various soils. Polysequum phenomenon of soils is one of outstanding soil genesis in Jeju. The typical polysequum soils was collected and analyzed by morphological, physico-chemical, mineralogical and micromorphological approaches The results are as follows: 1. The soils consists of polysequa, A and B horizons from volcanic ashes, unconsolidated volcanic sand layer and B(I) horizons from residual basalts. 2. The lithological discontinuity is also very distinct; silt loam from volcanic ashes, sand (II) from volcanic sand and clayey (III) from basalts. 3. Volcanic sand layer seems to be influenced by lava flow. The properties of it are similar to volcanic ashes rather than beneath residuum in micromorphological aspects. In micromorphological, this layer is gradually changed into soils. 4. Dominant clay minerals are allophane in A and B horizons from volcanic ashes and kaoline, vermiculite and illite from residual basalts. 5. The soils are not developed. There is no formation of argillic horizon in subsurface layers.

A large anorthositic mass outcropped as mushroom-like body extending up to 46km which occurs in the Hadong kaoline district of southern Korea. The anorthositic mass is in contact with the metamorphic, plutonic and sedimentary rocks. The metamorphic rocks are of granitic gneiss and banded gneiss, etc; the plutonic rocks are of gabbroic and dioritic rocks, schistose granite, syenite, diorite and granite. The sedimentary rocks include siltstone and pebbly sandstone of Lower Gyeongsang System, Cretaceous in age. The anorthositic mass shows a gradational contact with the metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, and is cut by the plutonic rocks except gabbroic and dioritic rocks. The anorthositic mass is leucocratic in the central portion of the mass, and, in turn, grades to rock phases in which ma/ic minerals are irregularly scattered, then to the well-lineated rock and finally to the banded gneiss. Lineation of the anorthositic mass is accordant with that of the surrounding banded gneiss, and the lineation continues toward the gneiss. In some places, the rock phases in which mafics are scattered is gradational with adjacent sedimentary rocks. The anorthositic mass in contact with gabbroic and dioritic rocks shows spotted features. Various replacement features seen under the microscope and paragenetic sequence of the mineral components in the anorthositic rocks cannot be considered as the origin of magmatic crystallization. From the field and microscopic observations, it is concluded that the anorthositic mass was formed from replacement of the metamorphic rocks and plutonic rocks by the anorthositic magma.

Clay minerals are locally abundant in two hydrothermal areas at Tongnae-Yangsan and Miryang, Gyong-sang-namdo, Korea. This study is done to access the clay forming processes, particularly hydrothermal alteration. Pyrophyllite-kaolin in the Zone is accompanied by sericite, diaspore mixed-layer mica/smectite, alunite, dumortierite and silica minerals. Small nodular diaspore and disseminated fine radiac dumortierite are present in the pyrophyllite-kaoline deposits, the northemly trending belt of rhyolite flows and pyroclastic rock near the intruded by granite rock of Bulkusa Series. Hydrothermal action has formed many clay deposits with a zone containing over 80~90% pyrophyllite, kaolinite, muscovite with a little amount of dumortierite, boehmite, andalusite. Most of the clay deposits occur as irregular, lenticular, massive and assosiated dumortierite was found to coexist with clay deposits. Dumortierite data are as follows: lattice constant a=11.783, b=20.209, c=4,7001, axial ratio a:b:c=0.5835 : 1 : 0.2327, XRD $d{\AA}$ 2.549, 5.89, 5.09.

This paper presents how to analyze heat transfer characteristics of double-layered soils. Thermal response tests were conducted to measure the ground thermal conductivities of Joomunjin sand and double layered soils filled in a steel box of which the size is $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$. Double-layered soils were composed of Joomunjin sand and Kaoline clay. Each thermal conductivity of Joomunjin sand and Kaloine clay was measured by using Heat Flow Meter considering different void ratio. The ground thermal conductivity of double-layered soils was 15% smaller than that of Joomunjin sand.

The effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of novel aminopeptidase M inhibitors MR-387A and B by Streptomyces sp. SL-387 has been studied. High D-glucose and ammonia concentrations (5$\%$ and 1$\%$, respectively) exerted a negative influence on the inhibitor formation. The suppressive effect of glucose on the inhibitor formation is probably caused by an effect of medium pH rather than that of cyclic AMP. To establish the optimum conditions for inhibitor overproduction, various nitrogen sources and ammonium ion-trapping agents were examined. The use of ammonia slow-releasing nitrogen sources such as soybean meal and fish meal, or ammonium ion-trapping agents such as kaoline, celite, and natural zeolite achieved the enhancement of inhibitor production. These results also indicate that inhibitor formation is affected by ammonium ion repression.

플라스틱재료의 강도, 인성, 경직성, 탄성 등과 같은 기계적 특성을 개선시켜 주기 위해 kaoline, talc, sand, quartz 등과 같은 규산염을 첨가하여 복합재료를 만들고자 하는 연구가 상당히 활발하다. 이와 같이 다양한 규산염이 복합재료의 강화재 또는 첨가제로 사용되는 반면에, 규산염가운데 공업적으로 이용도가 가장 높은 montmorillonite는 아직도 복합재료의 강화재로 폭 넓게 이용되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 이론적으로 볼 때, 높은 분자량을 지니는 무기고분자 (예; inorganic montmorillonite)와 유기고분자 (organic polymer)를 gkadbk는 실질적인 무기-유기 결합물질의 생성이 가능할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 연구 또한 시도되고 있다. 이렇게 해서 얻게 되는 무기-유기 복합체, 즉 montmorillonite로 강화된 플라스틱 복합재료 bumper를 사용함으로써 접촉 또는 충돌시 충격완화의 효과를 가져 올 수 있어 안정성이 좋아지고, 내파괴성이 높기 때문에 비강화 플라스틱재료보다 더 오래 사용할 수 있으므로 경제성이 좋을 뿐만 아니라, 폐품의 감소로 인해 환경보호에도 일익을 담당할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 montmorillonite강화 플라스틱 복합체를 얻기 위해 우선 무기-유기 고분자물질의 형성이 가능한가를 조사분석하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 amontmorillonite의 층사이에서 화학반응이 수행될 수 있는 충분한 공간을 얻고자 Na-Montmorillonite 층사이의 Na+-이온을 긴 알킬사슬을 취하는 유기 양이온으로 치환시켜 주었다; 이렇게 해서 얻은 유기양이온-몬트모릴로나이트 층간화합물 (Organic cation-Montmorillonite Intercalations-complex)내에 유기 단분자 (organic monomer)를 추가적으로 삽입시킨 후, montmorilonite의 층내에서 증합반응시켜 고분자화해 줌으로써 무기고분자와 유기고분자가 서로 결합된 무기-유기고분자 결합물질을 형성하고자 하였다. X-선 및 IR-분석결과 층내에서의 유기단분자의 고분자화 반응이 성공적으로 이루어 졌음이 입증되었다.

The objective of this study is to manufacture environmentally-friendly synthetic lightweight aggregates that may be used in the structural lightweight concrete production. The cold-bonding pelletization process has been used in the agglomeration of the pozzolanic materials to achieve these synthetic lightweight aggregates. In this context, it was aimed to recycle the waste fly ash by employing it in the manufacturing process as the major cementitious component. According to the well-known facts reported in the literature, it is stated that the main disadvantage of the synthetic lightweight aggregate produced by applying the cold-bonding pelletization technique to the pozzolanic materials is that it has a lower strength in comparison with the natural aggregate. Therefore, in this study, the metakaolin made of high purity kaolin and calcined kaolin obtained from impure kaolin have been employed at particular contents in the synthetic lightweight aggregate manufacturing as a cementitious material to enhance the particle crushing strength. Additionally, to propose a curing condition for practical attempts, different curing conditions were designated and their influences on the characteristics of the synthetic lightweight aggregates were investigated. Three substantial features of the aggregates, specific gravity, water absorption capacity, and particle crushing strength, were measured at the end of 28-day adopted curing conditions. Observed that the incorporation of thermally treated kaolin significantly influenced the crushing strength and water absorption of the aggregates. The statistical evaluation indicated that the investigated properties of the synthetic lightweight aggregate were affected by the thermally treated kaolin content more than the kaoline type and curing regime. Utilizing the thermally treated kaolin in the synthetic aggregate manufacturing lead to a more than 40% increase in the crushing strength of the pellets in all curing regimes. Moreover, two numerical formulations having high estimation capacity have been developed to predict the crushing strength of such types of aggregates by using soft-computing techniques: gene expression programming and artificial neural networks. The R-squared values, indicating the estimation performance of the models, of approximately 0.97 and 0.98 were achieved for the numerical formulations generated by using gene expression programming and artificial neural networks techniques, respectively.
