  • Precambrian metapelites and metapsammites of the Jinan-Osu area (so-called Seologri and Yongamsan Formation) consist of black slate, phyllite, mica schist, quartzite and rarely calc schist. They are intruded by Sunkagsan granite gneiss, Foliated granodiorite, Amphibolite, Sunchang foliated granite and Namwon granite. Mylonite texture, crenulation cleavage and minor shear zone are common. The meta-sedimentary rocks include various rock-fragments xenoliths in size (up to 3 cm) and rock-type. They have various porphyroblastic spots in size (up to 1 cm) and their mineral composition is different. The xenoliths are schists, granite and quartzite, which are rectangular or lens form and recrystallized muscovite, chlorite and quartz. Spots are andalusite and biotite aggregates extensively replaced by chlorite. The metamorphic terrain is divided into three zones of progressive metamorphism on the basis of mineral assemblage. They are chlorite zone, chloite-biotite zone and andalusite-biotite zone ascending order, from west to east approximately. Isograd reactions are phengitic muscovite + chlorite = less phengitic muscovite + biotite + quartz + $H_2O$ and muscovite + chlorite + quartz = andalusite + biotite + $H_2O$ between the chlorite zone and chlorite-biotite zone, and between the chloritebiotite zone and andalusite-biotite zone, respectively. Sample B6 (exposed near the Obong-ri) includes staurolites and greenish biotites, that is different in mineral assemblage and chemical composition from the meta-sedimentary rocks. Sample A12 (exposed near the Shinam-ri) has greenish white spots (up to 1 cm in diameter) mainly composed of Kfeldspar, quartz and sillimanite replaced by muscovite.

  • In Kwangjin industrial company, mill is operating for the foundry sand production at the rate of 25t/hr from quartzite. Foundry sands fall into four distinct categories: silica sand, lake sand, bank sand, and natural molding sand. Silica sand is a general term used to describe crushed, washed, graded, dried, and cooled clay-free sands. This study was conducted for the investigation of the foundry sand productivity and the life span of the hammer according to the material quality. The life time of hammer from several manufacturer were compared in order to find out the grinding efficiency of the various hammer material. In the result of tests, the life time of high-Mn hammer was 10.5 hours while that of high-Cr was 19.5 hours. The life time in case of typical worn shape hammers was about 12 hours and the average time of a blowhole hammer was about 6.5 hours.

  • This paper concerns the measurement of thermal conductivity of grouting materials for ground loop heat exchanger. A thermal conductivity meter, QTM-500 based on modified transient hot wire method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of neat bentonite and mixtures of bentonite and various additives. Relative to the total mixture mass, as the percent additive was increased the mixture thermal conductivity increased. For the bentonite-silica sand mixtures, the higher density of the sand particles resulted in much higher mixture thermal conductivity. The quartzite and silica sands produced the largest increases in mixture thermal conductivity, while common masonry and limestone sands produced lower thermal conductivity increases.

  • Precambrian metasedimetay rocks in the Sunchang Shear Zone (so-called Seologri and Yongamsan Formation) consist of black slate, phylite, mica schistm quartzite and rarely calc schist. The metamorphic rocks in the area have undergone at least three stages of metamorphism, which are two prograde (M1 and M2) and one contact metamorphism (M3). The metamorphism which made the most prevailing mineral assemblages in the area, is M2 stage metamorphism. The metamorphic grade of M2 methamorphism in metapelites increases from the Chlorite zone through Biotituzone, Garnet zone to Staurolite zone. The M1 stage metamorphism is recognized by kyanite and sillimanite pressure type regional metamorphism. The M3 stage methamorphism is represented in the contact boundary, which area is the chlorite zone and biotite zone near the Sunchang foliated granite and the namwon granite. The M3 stage methamorphism is characterized by andalusite bearing mineral assemblages. The peak temperature condition of M2 metamorphism estimated from coexising garnet and biotite (Kretz, 1990) is 518~598$^{\circ}C$.

  • This study is focused on the geological structure of Igog-Jangam folded zone in the vicinity of Goesan town where Ogcheon group distributes. The geology is composed of Gyemyungsan formation, Daehyangsan quartzite, Munjuri formation and Hwanggangri formation of Ogcheon group unknown age in descending order, and porphyritic biotite granite and dyke rocks that intruded into the Ogcheon group. The study revealed that Igog-Jangam folded zone is a plunged synclinal fold based on the following evidences; 1) Some pebbles in Hwanggangri formation at Minaemi-gol (a name of village) consists of phyllite of Munjuri formation. 2) The pebble bearing phyllitic bed in this area, Hwanggangri formation was recognized as the uppermost member in Ogcheon group instead of the basal one of the group. 3) A crest of anticlinal fold has been appeared near the Goegang bridge as a structural counter-part of that of the present area. 4) The study of lineation of minor fold in Munjuri formation also suggests that Igog-Jangam folded zone manifests to be a synclinal structure.

  • Taebaeg-Hajang area, in the northern part of Taebaeg city, comprises of Paleozoic sedimentary sequences and Cretaceous intrusive and volcanoclastic rocks. The rocks in the area are affected by folding and thrusting during the Bulgugsa Orogeny. In Taebaeg area, geologic structures related with thrust movement are dominant. These structures are small scale of klippe and window, back thrust, and asymmetric folds related with blind thrust. Tear fault or compartment fault due to differential movement of thrust sheets have "en echelon" arrays. Small scale transpression effects occurred along these faults and produced the flower structure. According to strain measurement using by ooids from limestone and quartz grains from quartzite, strain ratios are very low and strain ellipsoids are apparent oblate type.

  • This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the thermal conductivity of and(silica, quartzite, limestone, sandstone, granite and two masonry sands)-water mixtures used for ground heat exchanger backfilling materials. Nearly 260 tests were performed in a thermal conductivity measuring system to characterize the relationships between the thermal conductivity of mixtures and the water content. The experimental results show hat the thermal conductivity of mixtures increases with increasing dry density and with increasing water content. The most widely used empirical prediction models for thermal conductivity of soils were found inappropriate to estimate the thermal conductivity of unsaturated sand-water mixtures. An improved model using an exponential relationship to compute the thermal conductivity of dry sands and empirical relationship to assess the normalized thermal conductivity of unsaturated sand-water mixtures is presented.

  • $\beta$-Sialon powder was synthesized by the simultaneous reduction and nitridation of the mixed powder of Hadong kaolin and Kimcheon quartzite, using graphite as a reducing agent. The synthesized $\beta$-Sialon powder (Z=1) was hot-pressed at 175$0^{\circ}C$, for 90min under 30MPa in N2 atmosphere, after Yttria and YAG composition material were added as sintering agents. The effects of grain-boundary crystallization on high-temperature mechanical properties of $\beta$-Sialon ceramics were investigated. Strength degradation was observed at above 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ for the $\beta$-Sialon (Z=1)-8wt% Y2O3 composition, but it was not observed up to 1,20$0^{\circ}C$ for the $\beta$-Sialon-8wt% YAG composition which was annealed at 1,40$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in N2 atmosphere. After the $\beta$-Sialon-8wt% YAG composition was annealed, the decrease of fracture toughness was observed.

  • Analysis for landslides was studied in framework of Chungju dam right abutment, 6.5km northeast of Chungju city. $5.5{\times}10^6m^3$ landslide materials were excavated during dam construction for safety of the Chungju dam. Geology of study area is composed mainly of meta sediments such as dolomitic limestone, quartzite and schist which are dipping toward the Nam Han river. Scanline survey of discontinuities was performed for slope stability, resistivity exploration was performed for the evaluation of potential failure plane, and direct shear strength test of rocks and soils was performed for the effect on landslide. Monitoring systems of tiltmeter, tensiometer, ground water observation hole and level monument were installed during dam construction and interpreted for the evaluation of slope instability. Kinematic solution of the geological structure and evaluation using safety factor for slope may prove the failure of the slope.
