The cement injection technology on the purpose of ground reinforcement and cut-off has been used in construction sites until now. However, recently it is applied to prevent leakage of underground structure. In this study, applicability of the back side waterproof grouting method was verified through performing field model tests and reviewing case histories. From the results of this study, injection shape of the back side waterproof grouting method was appeared to be root type, and waterproof effect by injection of cement grout material was excellent because grout material infiltrated into boundary between wall of structure and back side ground to be waterproof layer. Components influencing infiltration of injection material are type of soil and degree of compaction. For effective injection, injection pressure has to vary gradually from high pressure to low pessure and small quantity of injection material has to be injected for long times. Also, spacing of injection hole must be designed considering condition of back side ground, injection area, W/C ratio, the number of injection and injection pattern properly.

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.

This study was conducted to evaluate air injection mode on stabilization of solid waste in lysimeter. For three lysimeters, one was maintained under anaerobic condition as control, and air was injected into two lysimeters in continuous mode (atmospheric pressure) and intermittent mode (high pressure of 2 bar). Distilled water was sprayed over solid waste in 1.4 l/$m^3$(solid waste)/day, supposing rainfall intensity of 1,200 mm/yr and 30% infiltration. Oxygen in landfill gas was not detected in control lysimeter during operational days. After 30 day-aeration, oxygen concentrations of continuous and intermittent modes were maintained in 14% and 6%, respectively. $COD_{Cr}$ removal efficiencies of continuous and intermittent modes were about 70% and 50%, and BOD5 removal efficiencies were about 80% and 20%, respectively. In view of oxygen supply, and $COD_{Cr}$ and $BOD_5$ removal, continuous air injection mode of atmospheric pressure was more effective than intermittent mode of 2 bar. Settling degree of solid waste in case of two air injection modes was 3 times higher than that of anaerobic condition as control. Considering the above results, it was thought that air injection (especially continuous atmospheric pressure) could improve degradation of solid waste and induce preliminary stabilization in landfill site.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ulmus root-bark dressing in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of induced pressure ulcers in rats. Methods: 54 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used and randomly divided into 2 groups. The rats were anesthetized and pressure ulcers were induced at 140 mmHg for three hours, using a personally-designed pressing apparatus. Ulmus dressing was applied in the experimental group (n=27) and saline gauze dressing in the control group (n=27). Each of the dressings was changed every other day, and after a month, the wounds were examined by microscopy biweekly for 20 weeks. Results: After 4 weeks, the epidermis of the wounds was recovered, but inflammatory infiltration of the dermis was remained. After 6 weeks, inflammatory cells were diminished and the number of capillaries was decreased. Examined by immunofluorescence staining, the FGF positive cells in the experimental group changed negatively after 18 weeks, but the control group still existed even after 20 weeks. VEGF positive cells in the experimental group also changed negatively after 20 weeks, but the control group still existed. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that Ulmus dressing is effective in minimizing scar formation and inflammatory reaction by decreasing FGF and VEGF in the terminal phase of wound healing.

In preparation of the biological samples for electron microscopy, the chemical fixation by glutaraldehyde, paraformaldehyde, and OsO4 has been generally used for a long time. However, the chemical fixation method has some problems: the infiltration time is a little bit long and the ultrastructure of cell or tissue transforms before complete fixation of sample. So, recently, cryo-fixation is considered more often in biomedical field. In this study, we compared High Pressure Freezing (HPF) method with chemical fixation method using a algal sample (Ptilota filicina J. Agardh), which was difficult to fix using chemical fixation method. In chloroplast, the ultrastructure of thylakoid lamella and phycobilisome can not show clearly by chemical fixation. In this study we could observe the ultrastructure of thylakoid lamella and phycobilisome of chloroplast very clearly using HPF fixation. An improved images of ultrastructures of nucleus, mitochondrion and floridean starch could obtain. These results suggest that HPF method is very useful method in algal specimen for electron microscopy.

This study aims to assess the influence of rainfall patterns on shallow landslides initiation. Doing so, five typical rainfall patterns with the same cumulative amount and intensity components comprising Advanced (A1 and A2), Centralized (C), and Delayed (D1 and D2) were designed based on a historical rainstorm event in Jinbu. Mt area. Those patterns were incorporated as the hydrological conditions into the Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-stability Model (TRIGRS) to assess their influences on groundwater pressure and changes in the stability of the slope. The results revealed that not only the cumulative rainfall thresholds necessary to initiate landslides, but also the rate at which the factor of safety decreases and the time required to reach the critical state, are governed by rainfall patterns. The sooner the peak rainfall intensity, the smaller the cumulative rainfall threshold, and the shorter the time until landslide occurrence. Left-skewed patterns were found to have a greater effect on landslide initiation. Specifically, among five rainfalls, pattern (A1) produced the most critical state. The severity of response was followed by patterns A2, C, D1, and D2. Our conclusion is that rainfall patterns have a significant effect on the cumulative rainfall threshold, the build-up of groundwater pressure, and the occurrence of shallow landslides.

강우침투에 의한 사면의 표층파괴는 국내에서도 잘 알려져 있고 이러한 불포화 사면에서의 수리학적/역학적 거동은 매우 복잡하다. 불포화사면에 대한 해석 수행 시, 함수특성곡선은 매우 중요한 지반정수로 활용되고 있는데 풍화사면의 경우 층으로 구성되어 있고 상재하중을 받고 있어 함수특성곡선의 적용시 적절한 상재하중의 효과에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 이러한 상황을 반영하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 풍화토를 대상으로 다양한 조건의 상재하중하에서 함수특성곡선을 획득하였으며 이를 통하여 불포화전단강도를 추정하였다. 또한 상재하중의 영향을 고려하여 불포화풍화사면에 대한 안정성을 평가하였다. 해석 결과 상재하중에 대한 효과는 매우 중요하며 적절한 해석에서의 적용은 사면안정성 예측은 항상 시킬 수 있다고 판단된다.

지구온난화와 도시 사막화에 따른 지표면의 온도 상승은 기상과 기후에 대한 실질적은 변화를 야기시킨다는 것은 경험적으로 잘 알려져 있다. 특히 사막화 지역에서는 사막 토양이 침투에 유리한 높은 기공성을 가졌음에도 불구하고 오히려 강우 시 강력한 유출(runoff) 현상에 의한 홍수가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 강수시 이러한 높은 유출 특성은 빠른 수분증발과 짧은 수자원순환주기에 의하여 집중호우를 발생시키고 지하수 자원을 고갈시키는 최악의 양극화 현상을 야기시키고 있다. 이러한 현상에 대한 물리적인 기전은 사막과 같은 토양에 높은 온도에 의한 강한 열적 부력현상에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 이러한 주제의 중요성에도 불구하고 이것에 대한 과학적인 연구가 제대로 이루어지지 않은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상에 대한 물리적인 가설에 대한 기전을 밝히기 위해 실험적인 연구와 수치 해석적 연구를 병행하였다. 실험적 연구를 위해 기공도 약 35%에 입도 2.0 mm를 가진 자갈성 모래를 가지고 토양 온도 변화에 따른 실험을 수행하였다. 온도 변화에 대한 구체적인 변수는 case 1의 표준상태의 경우에는 지표면의 온도를 $15^{\circ}C$로 하였고, case 2의 경우는 $70^{\circ}C$ 비교적 높은 고온을 선택하여 각각 10회의 반복실험을 시도하여 평균값을 취하였다. $70^{\circ}C$를 선택한 이유는 캘리포니아 Coachella Valley이 검은 모래가 화씨 191도(섭씨 88도)까지 상승한다는 경험적 자료에 기초하였다. 실험 결과 온도가 $70^{\circ}C$인 경우는 $15^{\circ}C$인 경우에 비하여 유출(runoff)이 온도상승효과에 의하여 약 5% 이상 실질적으로 증가하는 결과를 보였으며 지하로 침투하는 침투량(infiltration)은 빗물의 양을 동일한 양으로 표준화 하여 보정한 경우 온도가 낮을 때 상대적으로 30% 정도 증가하는 현상을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 지표면 온도 상승이 지하수 고갈과 그에 따른 지반강하에 중요한 인자가 될 수 있음을 시사한다. 수치해석의 결과는 실험 결과와 비교할 때 온도상승에 의해 약 4.6% 정도 유출이 증가되는 것으로 나타나 실험결과와 비교적 잘 부합하였으며 강우량에 따른 변수 연구의 경우도 물리적으로 일관성이 있었다. 이러한 기본적인 연구 결과에 기초할 때 향후 보다 실질적인 시스템에 대한 연구가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Mostly, water leakage took place in construction joints. In case of cable tunnels constructed by open-cut method, waterstops have been used to prevent the water leakage. But, we haven't any experience to install the waterstops in NATM cable tunnels. So, it is necessary to develope the waterstops and test the performance of it in laboratory. We manufactured cable tunnel lining quarter scale model by pouring concrete, and installed the waterstops. After filling the inside of concrete lining about two-third with water, we put the air pressure on the water, In addition, it is also carried out water leakage test for concrete lining model without waterstops. As a result, we confirmed the performance of waterstops and its adaptability. It is also tested that the performance of rubber gaskets used in concrete segments of Shield tunnelling. In addition, we determined the allowable infiltration rate for cable tunnel with non-drainage system.

Alumina composite reinforced by chopped alumina fiber was fabricated by filter-pressing the fiber slurry followed by the infiltration of alumina slurry. The chopped fiber was coated with nickel by electroless plating method. The green samples were densified by hot-pressing. Microstructures were studied by SEM and the mechanical properties such as bending strength and fracture toughness were measured. The resulting mechanical properties were analyzed in relation with processing parameters such as preform density and resulting microstructures. The load-displacement curve of the specimen with Ni interlayer but without Ni inclusion showed brittle fracture mode due to the direct contact between matrix and fiber. The load-displacement curve of the specimen with Ni interlayer and Ni inclusion in the matrix which is introduced by high applied pressure during specimen preparation showed non-brittle fracture mode due to the fiber pull-out and dutile phases in the matrix.
