A novel and simple method using a cylindrical penetrometer is being developed for the measurement of yield stress. The principle of this technique is based on the measurement of the static equilibrium of a falling penetrometer in a yield stress fluid. The yield stress is simply determined by a balance of forces acting on the penetrometer. The yield stress of Carbopol gels and $TiO_2$ suspensions has been measured using this method. The results are in reasonable agreement with the values from conventional methods. The effects of the dimensions and weight of the penetrometer have been examined. The long-term behaviour was also observed. No measurable creep was seen and equilibrium was found to be very quickly established. The cylindrical penetrometer technique promises to be a simple, quick and reliable static method for the measurement of yield stress.

The purpose of this study investigated underground oil storage(USTs) and Landfill using the envi-cone penetrometer system. The electrical resistivity sensor, pH sensor, ORP sensor, and thermometer are installed in envi-cone penetrometer system. This envi-cone penetrometer system provides a continuous profile of measurements, and it is rapid, repeatable, reliable and cost effective for investigation of contaminated ground.

The objective of this study is to develop a soil hardness tester which can estimate tillage resistance with tae travelling cone-penetrometer. For the study, a series of tests was performed using the cone penetrating in the horizontal direction. Based on the tests above, soil hardness was represented by travelling cone-index vs depth of cone penetration, travelling speed and moisture contents of the soil Resistance characteristics obtained from the experiments were compared with those by a vertical cone-penetrometer and the Yamanaka's soil hardness tester. Following conclusions were made from the study. 1. 8 to 9 peaks per one meter were detected in the resistance curve of cone penetration regardless of the travelling speed of cone-penetrometer when it penetrated the soil in the horizontal direction. This phenomenon seemed to be a similar one noticed in shearing pitch of plowing. 2. Cone index increased as travelling speed increased from 0.08m/sec to 0.5m/sec. 3. Linear relationship was found between the cone indices measured by the travelling coe-penetrometer and Yamanaka's hardness tester. 4. Increasing rate of the cone indices measured by vertical cone-penetrometer decreased as the depth of soil increased while the cone indices by the travelling cone-pentrometer increased linearly.

In recent years there has been a steady increase in geoenvironmental engineering projects where geotechnical engineering has been combined with environmental concerns. Many of these projects involve some investigation of contaminant in the ground. There are many techniques such as geophysical, drilling, sampling, md pushing techniques for investigation of contaminated ground. The most rapidly developing site characterization techniques for geoenvironmental purposes involve direct push technology, that is, penetration tests. The purpose of this study investigated underground oil storage tanks(USTs) using the envi-cone penetrometer system. The electrical resistivity sensor, pH sensor, ORP sensor, and thermometer are installed in envi-cone penetrometer system. This envi-cone penetrometer system provides a continuous profile of measurements, and it is rapid, repeatable, reliable and cost effective for investigation of contaminated ground surrounding the underground oil storage tanks.

일반적으로 다양한 원위치 지반조사 방법들이 각 지반의 특성치 산출에 활용되고 있으나 토사지반과 암반지반의 중간 전이지반인 중간지반(IGM; Intermediate Geo-material)에 대한 그 방법들의 적용은 미비하거나 한계가 있다. 국외에서는 IGM지반에 대한 지반조사기술인 텍사스콘관입시험 (TCPT; Texas Cone Penetrometer Test)을 말뚝기초의 설계에 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 장비와 지반에 맞게 개량된 한국형 타격콘관입시험 (DCPT; Driving Cone Penetrometer Test)방법을 개발하였으며 이를 국내 지반에 적용한 결과를 다양한 원위치 지반조사 방법들과 비교 평가하고 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 DCPT와 SPT 결과와의 관계에서는 양호한 관계가 나타났으며 지반종류에 따른 DCPT의 특성치 범위도 적절하게 나타낼 수 있었다.

암반에 근입된 현장타설말뚝 시공 시, 말뚝 선단부의 위치 및 강도는 반드시 확인되어야 한다. 그러나, 실제 현장타설말뚝의 시공 시 굴착액 등으로 인하여 선단부의 위치 및 강도 확인이 힘든 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 현장타설말뚝 굴착장비에 간단히 부착하여 선단부 암반의 위치 및 강도를 측정할 수 있는 정적관입기를 개발하였다. 일련의 실내교정을 통하여 만들어진 정적암반관입기는 여러 현장에서 수행된 검증시험을 성공적으로 수행하였고, 이에 따라서 현장타설말뚝 선단부의 위치 및 강도 확인을 가능하게 하였다.

본 연구는 침관입시험을 이용하여 연약암반에 대한 일축압축강도를 추정하기 위한 연구결과를 나타낸 것이다. 침관입시험을 위한 인공암반의 배합비는 시멘트(C):벤토나이트(B):물(W) = 1.3:0.7:2.3 또는 1.5:0.5:2.0이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 침관입시험에 의해 측정된 침관입저항력(NPR)과 이로부터 추정된 일축압축강도(UCS) 관계에서 NPR과 UCS는 양생기간이 길어짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 침관입시험에 의해 측정된 NPR과 실제 시험에서 얻어진 UCS 관계에서는 NPR-UCS가 배합비와 상관없이 양생기간이 3일~14일까지는 선형적으로 증가하다가 14일~28일에서는 NPR-UCS가 작은 차이를 보이지만 거의 일정한 관계로 나타났다. 결론적으로 전체적인 NPR-UCS의 관계는 대체적으로 선형적인 관계를 보이며, 이것은 연약암반의 경우 침관입 시험에 의한 NPR로부터 일축압축강도를 추정하는 것이 가능함을 의미한다.

This study was conducted to design an cone penetrometer type impedance sensor that can measure soil water content in realtime. The best width between electrical probe was determined by 5 mm. For optimization about realtime application device, linear regression analysis was applied between soil water content and impedance signal. It was concluded that proper combination of excitation frequency, impedance parameter, and model would provide acceptible performance of a soil waler content sensoe. Best model was obatained at a 36.5 MHz with |Z| as a predictor variable, with a coefficient of determination of 0.96 (RMSE=1.35, RPD=4.98).
