본 연구에서는 피조콘관입시험 결과를 활용한 토질분류법 중 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 Robertson 방법과 최근 발표된 최신 분류법인 Schneider 방법을 비교분석하였다. 이를 위하여 경기해안 지역의 연약지반을 대상으로 두 방법 및 통일분류법의 토질분류 결과를 고찰하였다. 연구결과, 두 방법에 의한 결과 차이는 크지 않았으나 전반적으로 Schneider 방법이 점토지역에서, Robertson 방법이 사질토에서 보다 정밀한 결과를 보였다. 보다 신뢰도 높은 토질분류를 위하여 콘 시험의 데이터베이스, 정규화된 콘저항치, 간극수압 및 배수조건에 대한 심층 연구가 필요하다.

The movement of soil along a slope during rainfall can cause serious economic damage and can jeopardize human life. Accordingly, predicting slope stability during rainfall is a major issue in geotechnical engineering. Due to rainwater penetrating the soil, the negative pore water pressure will decrease, in turn causing a loss of shear strength in the soil and ultimately slope failure. More seriously, many constructions such as houses and transmission towers built in/on slopes are at risk when the slopes fail. In this study, the numerical simulation using 2D finite difference program, which can solve a fully coupled hydromechanical problems, was used to evaluate the effects of soil properties, rainfall conditions, and the location of a foundation on the slope instability and slope failure mechanisms during rainfall. A slope with a transmission tower located in Namyangju, South Korea was analyzed in this study. The results showed that the correlation between permeability and rainfall intensity had an important role in changing the pore water pressure via controlling the infiltrated rainwater. The foundation of the transmission tower was stable during rainfall because the slope failure was estimated to occur at the toe of the slope, and did not go through the foundation.

Tailings fluidization (i.e., tailings behave as being fluidized) under cyclic loading is one concern during the construction of tailings dams, especially in the shallow tailings layers. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the responses of tailings under cyclic loadings and the tailings potential for fluidization. A series of cyclic triaxial undrained and drained tests were performed on medium and dense tailings samples under various cyclic stress ratios (CSR). The results indicated that axial strain and excess pore water pressure accumulated over time due to cyclic loading. However, the accumulations were dependent on CSR values, densities, and drainage conditions. The fluidization potential analysis in this study was then evaluated based on the obtained cyclic axial strain and excess pore water pressure. As a result, tailings samples were stable (unfluidized) under small CSR values, and the critical CSR values, where the tailings fluidized, varied depending on the density of tailings samples. Tailings fluidization is triggered as cyclic stress ratios reach critical values. In this study, the critical CSR values were found to be 0.15 and 0.40 for medium and dense samples, respectively.

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the migration of fine granular materials into overlying layers under cyclic loading using a modified large-scale triaxial system as a physical model test. Samples prepared for the modified large-scale triaxial system comprised a 60 mm thick gravel layer overlying a 120 mm thick subgrade layer, which could be either tailings or railway sand. A quantitative analysis of the migration of fine granular materials was based on the mass percentage and grain size of migrated materials collected in the gravel. In addition, the cyclic characteristics, i.e., accumulated axial strain and excess pore water pressure, were evaluated. As a result, the total migration rate of the railway sand sample was found to be small. However, the total migration rate of the sample containing tailings in the subgrade layer was much higher than that of the railway sand sample. In addition, the migration analysis revealed that finer tailings particles tended to be migrated into the upper gravel layer easier than coarser tailings particles under cyclic loading. This could be involved in significant increases in excess pore water pressure at the last cycles of the physical model test.

Spherical silica aerogel powders were fabricated via an emulsion polymerization method from a water glass. A water-in-oil emulsion, in which droplets of a silicic acid solution are emulsified with span 80 (surfactant) in n-hexane, was produced by a high power homogenizer. After gelation, the surface of the spherical silica hydrogels was modified using a TMCS (trimethylchlorosilane)/n-hexane solution followed by solvent exchange from water to n-hexane. Hydrophobic silica wet gel droplets were dried at 80 ℃ under ambient pressure. A perfect spherical silica aerogel powder between1 to 12 ㎛ in diameter was obtained and its size can be controlled by mixing speed. The tapping density, pore volume, and BET surface area of the silica aerogel powder were approximately 0.08 g·cm-3, 3.5 ㎤·g-1 and 742 ㎡·g-1, respectively.

The purpose of this study is the understanding to changes in the characteristic of soil structure and classification, atterberg limits, undrained shear strength and consolidation of clayey soil dependent on pH of soil pore water. A series of tests including consistency tests, uniaxial compressive tests, vane tests and oedometer tests are performed on. The test results indicated that pH changes in the soil pH resulted in changes in the soil structure and classification, stress-strain behavior. Specially, when pH is conditioned to 7, liquid limit, undrained shear strength and preconsolidation pressure are the largest.

This paper presents the effect of groundwater on tunneling performance. The interaction between the tunneling and groundwater was examined using a 3D stress-pore pressure coupled finite-element analysis, The results of the 3D coupled analysis were then compared with those of a total stress analysis. Examined items included pore pressures around lining and lining forces. Also examined include face displacements and ground surface movements, The results indicated that the interaction between the tunneling and ground water significantly increases the lining forces and ground deformations, and that the effect of ground water on tunneling can only be captured through a fully coupled analysis, Implementations of the findings from this study arc discussed in great detail.

The purpose of this paper os to present and discuss some of flow and drain observed in modelling results. Because dredged fill ground of Yul-Chon located in the south coast of Korea is very soft, this ground should be improved after operation of surface stabilization. There are surface stabilization method such as chemical stabilization, desiccation, horizontally vacuum drain, replacement, and geosynthetics. In Yul-Chon, PTM(Progressive Trenching Method) is adopted to provide the necessity condition of surface desiccation. In the case trench in the dredged soft ground is formed by PTM equipment, pore water in the ground is drained through trench. There, drain and desiccation of surface ground increase, and bearing capacity is improved. In this research, when trench in the dredged soft ground is formed by PTM equipment, permeable characteristics and drain efficiency of pore-water are analyzed using SEEP/W software package. Results show variation of total head, pressure head, flux, hydraulic gradient, and flow quantity.

A series of experiments using transparent micromodels with an artificial pore network etched on glass plates was performed to investigate the effects of flow rate on the migration and distribution of resident wetting porewater (deionized water) and injecting non-wetting fluid (n-hexane). Multicolored images transformed from real RGB images were used to distinguish n-hexane from porewater and pore structure. Hexane flooding followed by immiscible displacement with porewater, migration through capillary fingering, preferential flow and bypassing were observed during injection experiments. The areal displacement efficiency increases as the injection of n-hexane continues until the equilibrium reaches. Experimental results showed that the areal displacement efficiency at equilibrium increases as the flow rate increases. Close observation reveals that preferential flowpaths through larger pore bodies and throats and clusters of entrapped porewater were frequently created at lower flow rate. At higher flow rate, randomly oriented forward and lateral flowpaths of n-hexane displaces more porewater at an efficiency close to stable displacement. It may resulted from that the pore pressure of n-hexane, at higher flow rate, increases fast enough to overcome capillary pressure acting on smaller pore throats as well larger ones. Experimental results in this study may provide fundamental information on migration and distribution of immiscible fluids in subsurface porous media.

본 연구에서는 필댐의 주요계측기인 침투수량계, 정상침하계, 간극수압계의 최적 분석기법을 제안하기 위해 통계분석을 수행하였고, 이와 더불어 저수위, 강우량 데이터와의 상관관계 분석을 수행하였다. 계측기별 기술통계 분석 결과를 토대로 간극수압계는 주성분 분석을 통해 3그룹 또는 2그룹으로 분류가 가능하였고, 저수위가 상관성이 큰 그룹의 경우는 계측기 간의 상관성도 크게 나타났다. 침투수량의 경우는 극심한 비대칭 분포를 보이고 있어 정량적 분석을 위해 분류나무 분석을 통해 무강수, 강수시의 평균 침투수량을 추정할 수 있었다. 정상침하계의 경우는 상관분석 결과 계측기간의 상관성은 큰 것으로 나타났지만, 저수위계와의 관계에서는 유의미한 선형관계를 나타내지 못하여 이를 보다 상세히 분석하기 위해 EMD분석을 수행 하였다. 필댐의 주요 계측항목으로 간극수압계, 침투수량계, 정상침하계의 거동분석을 위해서는 각각 주성분 분석, 분류나무 분석, 데이터 필터 기법을 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 유사한 계측항목에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
