When enforced earth is used for the retain wall and four walls, the most important thing would be how to maximize the land utilization. Accordingly, in case of enforced earth, we pile up the minimal height of earth$(20\sim30cm)$ and harden the earth using a static dynamic hardening machine. In this paper, we tried to analyze and. compare the stress transformation characteristics of reinforced weathered granite soil. with geosynthetics when repetitive load is added to the enforced earth structure and when static load is added. The purposes of the study are as follows; 1) To compare and analyze non reinforced weathered granite soil and reinforced weathered granite. soil by executing a unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests. 2) To identify the strength characteristics of weathered granite soil reinforced with geotextile due to the repetitive dynamic loads through comparison of the stress due to the static load and the repetitive dynamic loads.

원토양인 논토양 위에 마사토를 적토(積土)한 토양에 대한 토양수분 특성곡선을 작성해 보고, 이를 추정하는데 가장 널리 활용되고 있는 van Genuchten (VG) 모형과 Brooks-Corey (BC) 모형을 비교평가 해 그 효용성을 판단하기 위해 수행했다. 4개의 층위로 구분되는 측정 대상토양은 표토부터 30 cm 까지는 양질사토, 30~70, 70~120 cm는 사토, 120 cm 이상에서는 사양토로 분석된 토양이다. 토양수분 함량과 토양수분 메트릭 퍼텐셜과의 관계를 나타내는 토양수분 특성곡선 분석에 따르면, 원토양인 120 cm 이상 깊이 토양에서의 수분보유 특성을 제외하고 나머지 세 개 층위 토양에서의 수분 보유 특성은 0~30 cm, 30~70 cm 층위는 비슷하고 70~120 cm 층위는 약간 높은 경향이었다. 상대수분 포화도와 토양수분 메트릭 퍼텐셜의 관계를 표현함에 있어 멱함수 형태인 BC 모형보다는 해석학적 분석방법을 활용한 VG모형이 실측값에 근사한 추정결과를 제공했다. 포화상태의 종점이자 불포화상태의 시발점인 공기유입가 (AEV) 추정에도 측정 한계치 부근의 메트릭 퍼텐셜 값을 나타내는 BC모형보다는 9.5~40 cm (4 kPa)을 보였던 VG모형이 적합했다. 따라서, 인위적으로 원토양 위에 석비레 (마사토)로 적토된 토양에서의 토양수분 특성곡선 작성을 위한 추정모형에 VG모형을 활용하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 이러한 결과로부터 VG 모형을 수자원량 산정을 위한 SCS (Soil Conservation Service, USDA) CN (Curve Number) 계산 과정에서 토양단면 내의 수분 보유 인자 (retention parameter) 산출을 위한 토양수분함량을 추정하는데 활용하거나 침투모형 (Green-Ampt Mein-Larson)을 설명하기 위한 습윤전선 매트릭 퍼텐셜을 추정하는데 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

According to natural frequency of soil, characteristics of earthquake responses of an isolated containment building in nuclear power plants are examined. For this, earthquake response analysis of seismically isolated containment buildings in nuclear power plants is carried out by strictly considering soil-structure interactions. The structure and near-field soil are modeled by the finite element method while far-field soil by consistent transmitting boundary. The equation of motion of a soil-structure interaction system under incident seismic wave is derived. The derived equations of motion are solved to carry out earthquake analysis of a seismically isolated soil-structure system. Generally, the results of this analysis show that seismic isolation significantly reduces the responses of the soil-structure system. However, if the natural frequency of the soil is similar to that of the soil-structure system, the responses of the containment buildings in nuclear power plants rather increases due to interactions in the system.

It is common that the soil layer is few meters below the earth surface and there are rock masses below the soil layer in the view of geological characteristics in Korea. The boundary between rock and soil is clearly divided. When dealing with the stability of rock masses, as in the case of rock slopes or dam foundations, the majority of the collapses is not within the soil layer, but within the soil-rock boundary. Therefore, it is important to identify the shear strength characteristics between soil-rock contacts. It has been common practice to assume that the strength of the soil or shale represents the minimum strength present. However, it has been suggested by Patton(1968) that such an assumption may not be valid and that lower shear strengths might be obtained along the soil-rock interface than for either material alone. Then, in this thesis, introduce rock and residual soil shear strength tests and the specimen preparation and testing procedures are described in detail and also the testing results are presented and discussed.

This study was conducted to develop the SWCC estimation equation using scaling technique, and to investigate relative sensitivity of the SWCC according to the soil water tension, for the four kinds of soil texture such as Sand [S], Sandy Loam [SL], Loam [L] and Clay Loam [CL]. The SWCC estimation equation of scale factor [${\Theta}sc$] (Eq. 1) was developed based on the log function (Eq. 2) and exponential function (Eq. 3). ${\Theta}sc=[({\Theta}-{\Theta}r)/({\Theta}s-{\Theta}r)]$ (Eq. 1) ${\Theta}sc=-0.196ln(H)+0.4888$ (Eq. 2) ${\Theta}sc=0.3804(H)^{(-0.448)}$ (Eq. 3) where, ${\Theta}$: water content (g/g %), ${\Theta}s$: water content at 0.1bar, ${\Theta}r$: water content at 15bar, H: soil water tension (matric potential) (bar) Relative sensitivity of soil water content was decreased as increase soil water tension, those according to soil water tension were 0.952~0.620 compared to 0.1bar case. Relative sensitivity of scale factor was also decreased as increase soil water tension, those according to soil water tension were 0.890~0.577 compared to 0.2bar case.

The effect of soil damage on the physicochemical characteristics and activity of the soil microbial community is not well known. This study investigates this relationship by analyzing 11 soil samples collected from various points of soil damage across Gyeonggi-do. Soil damage resulted from forest fires, landslides, and development areas, with their impacts most severe on the topsoil layer (0-30 cm). Dehydrogenase and β-glucosidase activities were notably higher at locations damaged by forest fires compared to other sites. While enzyme activities in soils influenced by landslides and development areas were relatively low, sites with a pollution history exhibited elevated dehydrogenase activity, likely due to past microbial response to the pollution. Additionally, an assessment of carbon substrate usability by soil microorganisms indicated higher substrate availability in areas impacted by forest fires, contrasting with lower availability in landslide and development sites. Statistical analysis revealed a positive correlation between organic content of sand and clay and microbial activity. These findings provide valuable insights into soil damage and associated restoration research, as well as management strategies.

강우시 우수의 침투로 사면의 안정성은 감소되며, 사면활동에 의한 피해를 최소화하기위해 강우시 토사사면에 대한 사면 안정해석시 지표까지 완전히 포화되는 조건으로 설계하도록 설계기준을 강화하고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 설계방식은 강우강도, 강우지속시간, 지반특성, 사면의 기하학적 특성 등과 관계없이 동일하게 지표까지 완전 포화조건으로 설계함으로써 지나치게 과다하게 설계되는 경향이 있는 등 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 또한 대부분의 토사사면은 불포화상태에 있으며, 불포화특성을 고려한 사면 안정해석이 수행되어야 할 것이다. 본 논문은 강우시 토사 사면이 완전 포화되기까지 소요되는 강우지속시간을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 불포화토의 흙-수분 특성과 포화시 투수계수, 사면의 기하학적 조건, 강우강도 등을 고려하여 불포화토 사면에 대한 유한요소해석을 실시하여 강우시 토사사면이 완전 포화되기 까지 소요되는 강우지속시간을 예측하였으며, 이들 해석결과로부터 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 예측도표를 제시하였다.

In general, the design of structures and its construction processes are fundamentally dependent on their foundation and supporting ground. Thus, it is imperative to understand the behavior of the soil under certain stress and drainage conditions. As it is well known that certain characteristics and behaviors of soils with fines are highly dependent on water content, it is critical to accurately measure and identify the status of the soils in terms of water contents. Liquid limit is one of the important soil index properties to define such characteristics. However, liquid limit measurement can be affected by the proficiency of the operator. On the other hand, dynamic properties of soils are also necessary in many different applications and current testing methods often require special equipment in the laboratory, which is often expensive and sensitive to test conditions. In order to address these concerns and advance the state of the art, this study explores a novel method to determine the liquid limit of cohesive soil by employing video-based vibration analysis. In this research, the modal characteristics of cohesive soil columns are extracted from videos by utilizing phase-based motion estimation. By utilizing the proposed method that analyzes the optical flow in every pixel of the series of frames that effectively represents the motion of corresponding points of the soil specimen, the vibration characteristics of the entire soil specimen could be assessed in a non-contact and non-destructive manner. The experimental investigation results compared with the liquid limit determined by the standard method verify that the proposed method reliably and straightforwardly identifies the liquid limit of clay. It is envisioned that the proposed approach could be applied to measuring liquid limit of soil in practical field, entertaining its simple implementation that only requires a digital camera or even a smartphone without the need for special equipment that may be subject to the proficiency of the operator.
