This paper presents the details of indigenous development of the piezovibrocone and calibration chamber. The developed cone has a cylindrical friction sleeve of $150cm^2$ surface area, capped with a $60^{\circ}$ apex angle conical tip of $15cm^2$ cross sectional area. It has a hydraulic shaker, coupled to the cone penetrometer with a linear displacement unit. The hydraulic shaker can produce cyclic load in different types of wave forms (sine, Hover sine, triangular, rectangular and external wave) at a range of frequency 1-10 Hz with maximum amplitude of 10 cm. The piezovibrocone can be driven at the standard rate of 2 cm/sec using a loading unit of 10 ton capacity. The calibration chamber is of size $2m{\times}2m{\times}2m$. The sides of the chamber and the top as well as the bottom portions are rigid. It has a provision to apply confining pressure (to a maximum value of $4kg/cm^2$) through the flexible rubber membrane inlined with the side walls of the calibration chamber. The preliminary static as well as dynamic cone penetration tests have been done sand in the calibration chamber. From the experimental results, an attempt has been made to classify the soil based on friction ratio ($f_R$) and the cone tip resistance ($q_c$).

석탄회를 주재료로 하는 저강도 고유동화재의 특성을 분석하기 위해 일축압축강도시험을 수행하였으며, 경화 시간을 분석하였다. 동일한 배합비 상태에서 함수비가 낮을수록 일축압축강도 증가율이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 초기 3일 동안에는 이와 같은 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 가장 경제적인 시멘트 첨가비로 소형 모형지반을 조성하여 동적콘관입시험을 통해 배합비에 따른 저강도 고유동화재의 특성을 분석한 결과, 목표 일축압축강도인 500kPa(콘관입률 20mm/blow) 도달시간은 약 10일 정도 소요되는 것으로 나타났으며, 10일이 경과한 후에는 배합비와 상관없이 경화속도가 급격하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The cone penetration test(CPT) has been increasingly used for in situ site characterization. However, the use of CPT is often limited due to specific site conditions depending on the cone size, geometry, and capacity of the CPT system used. In South Korea, it has generally been considered that the CPT could be satisfactorily performed only in soft soils. Louisiana State University/ Louisiana Transportation Research Center has implemented a field-rugged continuous intrusion miniature cone penetration test (CIMCPT) system since the 1990s. The miniature cone penetrometer of the CIMCPT system has a cross-sectional cone area of $2cm^2$ allowing finer soil profiles compared to the standard $10cm^2$. The reduced cross-sectional area also enables a system capacity reduction leading to cost saving and ease in maintenance. In addition, the continuous intrusion mechanism allows fast and economic site investigations. Samsung C&T Corporation has recently implemented a similar CIMCPT system. In this study, case studies on the field application of Samsung CIMCPT system for the last 2 years are presented to illustrate its performance investigation and its usefulness and limitation. Results of the case studies show that the CIMCPT system can be applied to soils with cone tip resistance($q_c$) values up to about 30MPa and allows a reliable and useful way to characterize soft soils. The results also show that the rod buckling limits the investigation depth by the system and the large contact pressure of the CIMCPT truck prevents the use of the system at sites with soft surface soils. According to the results of the case studies, the Samsung CIMCPT system has been being upgraded with a miniature cone with a longer rod, a crawler-type transportation system, a pre-boring system, and so on.

본 연구의 목적은 필름/증감지 방식에서 사용된 비감도 측정 방식을 이용하여 컴퓨터 방사선영상에서 영상판의 상대적 발광량을 평가하고자 하였다. 비감도 측정을 위한 특성곡선은 균일한 알루미늄으로 구성된 11 계단의 투과도계를 이용하였다. 디지털 방사선영상을 획득하기 위한 X선 조사조건은 50 kVp, 10 mAs로 조절했다. 영상후처리 알고리즘(MUSICA)의 모든 파라메터들은 제로화하여 원본 데이터에 근사화하였고 레이저 조사분류(exposure class)는 200으로 고정하였다. 영상판의 상대적 발광량 모델링은 X선 조사후 0, 4, 8, 12, 24 시간 보관한 영상판을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 컴퓨터 방사선영상시스템의 영상판 비감도 측정에 필요한 감도점 농도는 모든 특성곡선을 상대적으로 측정하기 용이한 2000 픽셀(pixel) 값이 적합하였다. 또한 영상판의 비감도가 저하될 때 영상신호를 생성하기 위한 빛 발광량도 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 비감도 평가방법은 컴퓨터 방사선영상시스템에서 영상판의 상대적 발광량을 평가할 수 있는 기술로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study was carried out to investigate the present status of subsoil compaction, and subsoil compaction management in orchard as a basic study for developing a self-propelled explosive subsoiler. Subsoil compaction was evaluated using the soil penetration resistance. Soil cone index was measured using the DIK 5520 type cone penetrometer in several fruit farms such as apple, pear, peach and grapes during growing seasons of these fruit in Jecheon, Gamgok, Choongju, Cheonan and Hwasung areas. Most of the subsoil managing machinery were either explosive type or digging type attached to the tractor or power tiller and turning radius of this machine was more than 3-5 m. Many of the farmers wanted to use the subsoiler which can put lime into soil and rupture soil at the same time. For most of the orchard fields, soil penetration resistance in vehicle traffic area was increased quickly and reached about 1.0 MPa in 5 cm soil depth. As the soil depth increased to 15-20 cm, cone penetration resistance reached about 2.0-2.5 MPa which restricted root growth seriously. Thus it was concluded that one of the main reason for increasing the soil compaction in orchard fields is agricultural vehicle traffic. In the vicinity of fruit trees, compaction is not so serious compared to that of the vehicle traffic area, but as the soil depth increased to 20-25 cm, in most of the orchard fields soil penetration resistance reached about 2.0-2.5 MPa which is the root growth-limiting value. Considering the rooting depth of fruit trees which ranged 30-60 cm for apple, pear and peach, and 20-30 cm for grape, it is necessary to loosen the subosoil and improve the subsoil conditions using subsoiler.

This study was conducted to analyze soil physico-chemical properties of agricultural land composed from the river-bed sediments. We investigated the changes of soil physico-chemical properties at 30 different sampling sites containing paddy, upland and plastic film house from 2012 to 2015. pH, exchangeable calcium and magnesium decreased gradually in paddy soils during the four years, whereas the available $P_2O_5$, exchangeable Ca, Mg and EC increased in upland and plastic film house soil. For the soil physical properties, bulk density and hardness of topsoil were $1.47g\;cm^{-3}$ and 21.5 mm and those of subsoil were $1.71g\;cm^{-3}$ and 25.7 mm in paddy soils. In upland soils, bulk density and hardness of topsoil were $1.48g\;cm^{-3}$ and 15.9 mm and those of subsoil were $1.55g\;cm^{-3}$ and 16.9 mm. In plastic film house soils, bulk density and hardness of topsoil were $1.42g\;cm^{-3}$ and 14.4 mm and those of subsoil were $1.40g\;cm^{-3}$ and 18.5 mm, respectively. The penetration hardness was higher than 3 MPa below soil depth 20 cm, and it is impossible to measure below soil depth 50 cm. As these results, in agricultural anthropogenic soils dredged from river basins, the pH, amount of organic matter and exchangeable cations decreased and soil physical properties also deteriorated with time. Therefore, it is needed to apply more organic matters and suitable amount of fertilizer and improve the soil physical properties by cultivating green manure crops, deep tillage, and reversal of deep soils.

The environmental problem of the rural area has been accelerated in soil as well as water. Soil contamination is usually caused by improper operation of landfills, abandoned mine fields, accidental spills, and illegal dumpings. Once soil contamination is initiated, pollutants migrate and may cause groundwater contamination which takes much effort for remediation. Early detection, therefore, is important to prevent further contamination. Electrical resistivity method was used to detect soil contamination, but it was not effective to the heterogeneous condition. Static cone penetrometer test (CPT) has been used widely to investigate geotechnical properties of the underground. In this study, electrical resistivity method and CPT are combined to improve the applicability of it. The pilot test was performed to examine the variation of electrical resistivity with different soil minerals and pore fluid characteristics. Soil samples used were poorly graded sand, silty sandy soil, and weathered granite soil. For all the cases, electrical resistivity decreased with increasing of moisture content. Soil mineral also affected the electrical resistivity significantly. Above all, leachate addition in the pore fluid was very sensitive and caused decreasing of electrical resistivity markedly. It implies that electrical resistivity method can be applied to investigate pollutant plume effectively. This is specially sure when the sensors contact the contaminated soils directly. The CPT method involves cone penetration to the ground, therefore, underground contamination around the cone could be investigated effectively even for heterogeneous condition as it penetrates if electrical resistivity sensors are attached on the cone.

과압밀된 점토현장에서 수행한 콘관입시헙 자료를 지구통계학 방법으로 분석하였다. 임의로 위치한 28개의 콘 사운딩 자료(A현장)와 일관되게 위치한 38개치 콘 사운딩 자료(B현장)분석에 이용되었다. 크리깅기법을 이용하여 두 현장의 콘 저항에 대한 베리어그램을 개발했다. 개발된 배리오그램은 현장에서와 수직적 상관거리 및 수평적 상관거리를 규명하는데 이용되었으며 이의 결과는 두 시험결과를 상호비교하려면 샘플링이 수평상관지리 이내에서 수행되어야하는 최적샘 플링설계로 이용된다. 베리오그램의 분석결과는 두 현장의 지질학적 형성이 수직적 및 수평적으로 큰 차이가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. A현장에서의 크리깅한 콘 저항치를 3차원적으로 나타낸 표면은 콘 저항치의 공간적 변동을 이해하는데 도움을 주며 또한 지구통계학적으로 분식된 3차원적 표면은 분석된 현장의 어느위치에서나 최적의 콘 저항치를 나타낼 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
