This paper investigates the effects of soaking on a lime stabilized high plasticity clay and evaluates the implications for pavement design. In this context, the soil was stabilized by 4%, 6% and 9% hydrated lime. The soil was pulverized in two different gradations so that representative field gradations could be simulated. Both soil pulverization levels passed the relevant field gradation criteria. Curing durations were chosen as 7 days, 28 days and 56 days. Two groups of samples were prepared and were tested in unconfined compression test apparatus to measure the strength and secant modulus at failure values. One of the groups was tested immediately after curing. The other group of samples were first cured and then subjected to soaking for ten days before testing. Visual observations were made on the samples during the soaking period. The results showed the superiority of fine soil pulverization over coarse soil pulverization for unsoaked conditions in terms of strength and modulus values. Soaking of the samples affected the unconfined compressive strength and modulus values based on lime content, curing duration and soil pulverization level. In soaked samples, fine soil pulverization resulted in higher strength and modulus values compared to coarse soil pulverization. However, even with fine soil pulverization, effects of soaking on modulus values were more significant. A new term named as "Soaking Influence Factor (SIF)" was defined to compare the reduction in strength and modulus due to soaking. The data was compared with the relevant design guidelines and an attempt was made to include Soaking Influence Factors for strength and modulus (SIFS and SIFM) into pavement design processes. Two equations which correlated secant modulus at failure to unconfined compressive strength were proposed based on the samples subjected to soaking. The results of this study showed that in order to decrease the diverse effects of soaking for lime stabilized soils, soil pulverization level should be kept as fine as possible in the field. Importance of proper drainage precautions in the pavements is highlighted for better performance of the pavements.

Sewage sludge produced in Korea was 1,275,800 tons (dewatered sludge cake) per year in 1996, which is 3,495 tons per day, 0.303% of 11,526,100 tons per day of sewage treated in 79 sewage treatment plants. Sludge production has been and will be increasing in accordance with construction of new facilities for sewage treatment. Most of the sludge is currently disposed by landfill and ocean dumping, but it is becoming difficult to find suitable sites for landfill, particularly in big cities such as Seoul. In addition, rapid increase of landfill cost is anticipated in a near future. Current trend for sludge disposal in advanced countries is land application. Over the past 10 to 20 years in the United States, sludge management practices have changed significantly, moving from disposal to beneficial use. They use biosolid for utilization instead of sludge for disposal. Under the Clean Water Act of 1972, amended in 1987 by Congress, the U.S. EPA was required to develop regulations for the use and disposal of sewage sludge. The EPA assessed the potential for pollutants in sewage sludge to affect public health and the environment through a number of different routes of exposure. The Agency also assessed the potential risk to human health through contamination of drinking water sources or surface water when sludge is disposed on land. The Final Rules were signed by the EPA Administrator and were published (Federal Register, 1993). These rules state that sewage sludge shall not be applied to land if the concentration of any pollutant in the sludge exceeds the ceiling concentration. In addition, the cumulative loading rate for each pollutant shall not exceed the cumulative pollutant loading rate nor should the concentration of each pollutant in the sludge exceed the monthly average concentration for the pollutant. The annual pollutant loading rate generally applies to applications of sewage sludge on agricultural lands. The most popular beneficial use of sewage sludge is land application. The sludge has to be stabilized for appling to land. One of the stabilization process for sewage sludge is lime stabilization process. The stabilization process is consisted of the stabilizing process and the drying process. Stabilization reactor can be a drum type reactor in which a crossed mixer is equipped. The additive agents are a very reactive mixture of calcium oxide and others. The stabilized sludge is dried in sun drier or rotary kiln.

본 연구에서는 6 종류의 안정화제의 중금속 안정화 효율을 평가하기 위해 생물학적 평가 방법을 이용하였다. 12 종의 식물을 대상으로 한 스크린 실험에서 청경채를 선발하여 이를 안정화제 평가에 사용하였다. 식물 독성실험 결과 농용석회와 제강슬래그는 청경채의 뿌리 신장에, 백운석은 지상부 신장에 각각 악영향을 주었다. 화학적 평가 방법뿐만 아니라 생물학적 평가 방법을 고려하였을 때에는 AMD 슬러지가 가장 추천되어질 만한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 토양 환경과 청경채의 특수성 때문에 위 결과를 일반화 하는 것은 어려우며 명확한 결과 도출을 위해서 재배기간의 조정과 추가적인 화학 침출 평가 방법 등이 필요해 보인다.

석회 및 시멘트에 의한 안정처리는 이미 일반화 되어있지만 본 연구는 해안지역에서 토질안정처리를 할 경우 염분이 처리토의 강도발현에 미치는 영향에 관한 문제를 검토하였다. 실험 분석한 결과 시료토의 염분함량은 PH변화와는 거의 관계가 없으며 석회나 시멘트 첨가량 10%에서 석회의 PH는 12.4, 시멘트는 11.6에 근접하였다. 또한 양생기간이 7일 이상인 경우 시간이 경과할수록 PH 와 Ca++이온 농도가 감소함을 볼 수 있었고 첨가량 10%의 처리토를 90일 양생한 후 X-ray회절 분석한 결과 NaCl 8%함유의 처리토가 0%함유의 것보다 Tobermonite, Etringite등의 반웅 생성 peak가 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 석회와 시멘트 처리토를 2$0^{\circ}C$와 5$^{\circ}C$로 양생 했을 때 2$0^{\circ}C$로 양생한 것이 5$^{\circ}C$로 양생한 것보다 일축압축강도가 크고, 기건양생의 처리토가 수침양생의 것보다 압축 강도가 컸다. 그리고 2~4%의 염분함량은 처리토의 일축압축강도를 촉진시키거나 강도발현을 저해하지 않았으나 8%의 경우에는 강도발현이 저하됨을 알 수 있었다.

The choice of eco-friendly materials for ground improvement is a necessary way forward for sustainable development. Adapting naturally available biopolymers will render the process of soil stabilization carbon neutral. An attempt has been made to use β-glucan, a natural biopolymer for the stabilization of lean clay as a sustainable alternative with specific emphasis on comprehending the effect of confining stresses on lean clay through triaxial compression tests. A sequence of laboratory experiments was performed to examine the various physical and mechanical characteristics of β-glucan treated soil (BGTS). Micro-analysis through micrographs were used to understand the strengthening mechanism. Results of the study show that the deviatoric stress of 2% BGTS is 12 times higher than untreated soil (UTS). The micrographs from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the results of the Nitrogen-based Brunauer Emmett Teller (N₂-BET) analysis confirm the formation of new cementitious fibres and hydrogels within the soil matrix that tends to weld soil particles and reduce the pore spaces leading to an increase in strength. Hydraulic conductivity (HC) and compressibility reduced significantly with the biopolymer content and curing period. Results emphases that β-glucan is an efficient and sustainable alternative to the traditional stabilizers like cement, lime or bitumen.

Soft clay soils due to their various geotechnical problems, stabilized with different additives. Traditional additives such as cement and lime will not able to increase the soil strength properties significantly. So, it seems necessary to use new additives for increasing strength parameters of soft clay soils significantly. Among the new additives, epoxy resins have excellent physical and mechanical properties, low shrinkage, excellent resistance to chemicals and corrosive materials, etc. So, in this research, epoxy resin used for stabilization of soft clay soils. For comprehensive study, three clay soil samples with different PI and various clay mineral types were studied. A series of uniaxial tests, SEM and XRD analysis conducted on the samples. The results show that using epoxy resin increases the strength parameters such as UCS, elastic modulus and material toughness about 100 to 500 times which the increase was dependent on the type of clay minerals type in the soil. Also, In addition to water conservation, the best efficiency in the weakest and most sensitive soils is the prominent results of stabilization by epoxy resin which can be used in different climatic zones, especially in hot and dry and equatorial climate which will be faced with water scarcity.

Large quantity of extra soils discharged from excavation site in Songdo area can be treated by hardening agents and utilized in surface stabilized layer overlying thick reclaimed soft soil deposit. Though surface layer stabilization method using cement or lime for very soft soils has been studied in recent years, but studies on moderately soft clayey silt has not been tried. The purpose of this research is to investigate optimum mixing condition for stabilizing Songdo marine soil with low plasiticity. The optimum mixing conditions of hardening agents with Songdo soil such as kind of agents, mixing ratio, initial water content and curing time are investigated by uniaxial compression test and laboratory vane test. The results indicate that strength increases with high mixing ratio and long curing time, while decreases drastically under certain water content before mixing. Finally, optimum mixing condition considering economic efficiency and workability with test results was proposed.

본 연구는 수용액 내 존재하는 Cd, Pb을 다양한 화학적 안정화제를 이용하여 안정화 효율성을 평가하였다. 연구에 사용한 안정화제는 중금속 이온과의 반응특성 별로 석회물질, 광물질 등으로 구분하여 문헌조사를 바탕으로 5종을 선정하여 사용했다. 안정화 효율성 평가방법은 용액 내 중금속 함량을 단계적으로 제조하여 안정화 효율성, 반감기 및 반응속도 산정 및 반응 후 안정화제의 반응생성물 확인의 순으로 진행했다. 안정화 효율성 평가결과 석회물질 ($CaCO_3$)을 다량 함유하여 기본적으로 pH를 8이상으로 교정하는 안정화제의 경우 처리량에 상관없이 대부분 불용화되는 것으로 나타났으며, 낮은 산도교정 물질은 50% 수준의 효율성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 효율성이 크게 나타난 물질을 대상으로 반응속도상수 (K)를 산출한 결과 Cd의 경우 처리량에 따라 증가하였지만, Pb의 경우 초기에 반응속도가 빠르게 일어나 처리량에 따른 평가는 불가능 하였다. 다량의 중금속 이온과 반응시킨 안정화제의 표면관찰을 통한 생성물 검정 결과 SEM 사진으로 반응 전 후의 생성물 확인을 간접적으로 확인하였다. 또한, SEM-EDS 분석결과 반응 후 물질 표면에서 Cd과 Pb의 성분 검출을 확인하였다. 그리고 XRD 분석을 통해 효율성이 좋았던 물질에서 Cd과 Pb 성분의 검출이 확인되어 수용액 상에 이온형태로 존재하는 중금속의 복원에 안정화제를 이용한 저감은 효율적일 것으로 판단된다.
