The Imha watershed is vulnerable to severe erosion due to the topographical characteristics such as mountainous steep slopes. Sediment inflow from upland area has also deteriorated the water quality and caused negative effects on the aquatic ecosystem of the Imha reservoir. The Imha reservoir was affected by sediment-laden density currents during the typhoon 'Maemi' in 2003. The RUSLE model was combined with GIS techniques to analyze the mean annual erosion losses and the soil losses caused by typhoon 'Maemi'. The model is used to evaluate the spatial distribution of soil loss rates under different land uses. The mean annual soil loss rate and soil losses caused by typhoon 'Maemi' were predicted as 3,450 tons/km2/year and 2,920 ton/km2/'Maemi', respectively. The sediment delivery ratio was determined to be about 25% from the mean annual soil loss rate and the surveyed sediment deposits in the Imha reservoir in 1997. The trap efficiency of the Imha reservoir was calculated using the methods of Julien, Brown, Brune, and Churchill and ranges from 96% to 99%.

In the field of agricultural machinery, various on-field tests are conducted to measure design load for optimal design of agricultural equipment. However, field test procedures are costly and time-consuming, and there are many constraints on field soil conditions due to weather, so research on utilizing simulation to overcome these shortcomings is needed. Therefore, this study aimed to model agricultural soils using discrete element method (DEM) software. To simulate draft force, predictions are made according to travel speed and compared to field test results to validate the prediction accuracy. The measured soil properties are used for DEM modeling. In this study, the soil property measurement procedure was designed to measure the physical and mechanical properties. DEM soil model calibration was performed using a virtual vane shear test instead of the repose angle test. The DEM simulation results showed that the prediction accuracy of the draft force was within 4.8% (2.16~6.71%) when compared to the draft force measured by the field test. In addition, it was confirmed that the result was up to 72.51% more accurate than those obtained through theoretical methods for predicting draft force. This study provides useful information for the DEM soil modeling process that considers the working speed from the perspective of agricultural machinery research and it is expected to be utilized in agricultural machinery design research.

This study area has been contaminated by oils. To identify contaminated ranges and to assess the possibility of contamination dispersion, monitoring wells were installed and slug test, field soil permeability test, automatic or manual measurement of groundwater table, and groundwater quality analyses in field and laboratory were performed. In addition, a groundwater modeling program was used to assess the possibility of oil contamination dispersion, based on field data and groundwater quality data. The results showed that concentration of oil contaminants in groundwater have been decreased by dispersion and adsorption.

For a given structural geometry, the stiffness and damping parameters of the soil and the dynamic response of the structure may change in the face of an equivalent linear soil behavior caused by a strong earthquake. Therefore, the influence of equivalent linear soil behavior on the impedance functions form and the seismic response of the soil-structure system has been investigated. Through the substructure method, the seismic response of the selected structure was obtained by an analytical formulation based on the dynamic equilibrium of the soil-structure system modeled by an analog model with three degrees of freedom. Also, the dynamic response of the soil-structure system for a nonlinear soil behavior and for the two types of impedance function forms was also analyzed by 2D finite element modeling using ABAQUS software. The numerical results were compared with those of the analytical solution. After the investigation, the effect of soil nonlinearity clearly showed the critical role of soil stiffness loss under strong shaking, which is more complex than the linear elastic soil behavior, where the energy dissipation depends on the seismic motion amplitude and its frequency, the impedance function types, the shear modulus reduction and the damping increase. Excellent agreement between finite element analysis and analytical results has been obtained due to the reasonable representation of the model.

본 연구에서는 타이어셀로 보강된 모래지반에 대한 평판재하시험을 유한요소법에 의해 모델링하였다. 타이어셀의 기능과 외양은 지오셀과 비슷하며 지오셀과 마찬가지로 토목구조물에서 지반보강 목적으로 사용할 수 있다. 해석결과는 모델링의 적절성을 평가하기 위해 현장 재하시험결과와 비교하였다. 두 결과의 비교로부터 유한요소해석에 의한 침하량은 극한지지력에서 실험결과와 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 모델링을 검증한 후 타이어셀의 보강깊이와 보강층 수의 변화에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 보강효과는 보강깊이가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며 이러한 경향은 기존의 시험결과와 유사하였다. 보강층수가 증가함에 따라 보강효과는 증가하였다. 그러나 2층 이상의 보강은 효과가 무시할 정도였다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서의 모델링 방법은 타이어셀을 사용한 지반구조물의 해석에 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

액상화 시 지반-말뚝 시스템의 동적 거동을 정확히 예측하기 위해 상용 유한 차분 프로그램인 FLAC3D를 이용하여 시간영역에서 3차원 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 지반의 전단변형에 따른 간극수압의 발달을 직접적으로 모사하기 위해 유효응력 해석법을 이용한 액상화 모델인 Finn model을 적용하였으며 Mohr-Coulomb 탄소성 모델에 접목되어 해석이 수행되었다. 이력감쇠모델을 적용하여 지반 비선형 거동을 고려하였으며 지반과 말뚝 간의 분리현상, 미끄러짐 현상을 모사하는 인터페이스 모델을 적용하였다. 경계조건으로써 단순화 연속체 모델링 기법을 도입하여 반사파의 생성을 막고 해석 효율을 증가시켰으며 적절한 최대지반탄성계수와 항복 깊이의 설정으로 비선형 거동을 정확히 모사하고자 하였다. Wilson(1998)이 수행한 원심모형시험 케이스 중 상부지반 상대밀도가 55%인 모델을 이용하여 제안된 모델링 기법의 캘리브레이션을 수행한 결과, 수치해석으로부터 도출된 깊이 별 과잉간극수압 비-시간 이력, 휨모멘트-시간이력, 말뚝 두부 변위-시간이력이 실험 결과를 잘 모사하였다. 상부지반 상대밀도가 30%인 모델의 결과를 이용하여 제안된 모델링 기법의 적용성 평가를 수행한 결과, 수치해석으로부터 도출된 지반 및 말뚝 응답이 실험 결과를 잘 모사하였으며 제안된 모델링 기법이 지반-말뚝 시스템의 액상화 거동을 적절히 모사한다고 판단되었다.

This paper presents field study and numerical modeling results for a single-cell low-fill concrete box culvert under a flexible pavement subjected to traffic loading. The culvert in the field test was instrumented with displacement transducers to capture the deformations resulting from different combinations of static and traffic loads. A low-boy truck with a known axle configuration and loads was used to apply seven static load combinations and traffic loads at different speeds. Deflections under the culvert roof were measured during loading. Soil and pavement samples were obtained by drilling operation on the test site. The properties of the soil and pavement layers were determined in the laboratory. A 3-D numerical model of the culvert was developed using a finite difference program FLAC3D. Linear elastic models were used for the pavement layers and soil. The numerical results with the material properties determined in the laboratory were compared with the field test results. The observed deflections in the field test were generally smaller under moving loads than static loads. The maximum deflections measured during the static and traffic loads were 0.6 mm and 0.41 mm respectively. The deflections computed by the numerical method were in good agreement with those observed in the field test. The deflection profiles obtained from the field test and the numerical simulation suggest that the traffic load acted more like a concentrated load distributed over a limited area on the culvert. Elastic models for culverts, pavement layers, and surrounding soil are appropriate for numerical modeling of box culverts under loading for load rating purposes.

Rockmass parameters are used in the design of engineering structures built in rock and soil. One of the most important of these parameters is the rockmass Emass (Emass). Determination of the Emass of rockmass is a long, hard and expensive job. Therefore, empirical formulas developed by different researchers are used. These formulas use the elastic modulus of the material as a parameter. This value is a constant value in the design. However, engineering structures remain under different loads depending on many factors, such as topography, geometry of the structure, rock / soil properties. Time is other important parameter for rock/soil structure. With the start of the excavation, the loads that the structure is exposed to will change and remain constant at one level. In the new proposed method, the use of different Emass calculated from empirical formulas using the different material elastic modulus, which has different values under different loads as time dependent, was investigated in rock/soil structures during design. The performance of the stability analysis using different deformation modules was questioned by numerical modeling method. For this query, a sub-routine which can be integrated into the numerical modeling software has been developed. The integrated sub-routine contains the formula for the Emass, which is calculated from the material elasticity modules under time dependent and different constant loads in the laboratory. As a result of investigations conducted in 12 different field studies, the new proposed method is very sensitive.
