The Richards' equation attracts the attention of several scientific researchers due to its importance in the hydrogeology field especially porous soil. This work presents a numerical method to solve the two dimensional Richards' equation. The pressure form and the mixed form of Richards' equation are solved numerically using a bivariate diamond finite volumes scheme. Euler explicit scheme is used for the time discretization. Different test cases are done to validate the accuracy and the efficiency of our numerical model and to compare the possible numerical strategies. We started with a first simple test case of Richards' pressure form where the hydraulic capacity and the hydraulic conductivity are taken constant and then a second test case where the hydrodynamics parameters are linear variables. Finally, a third test case where the soil parameters are taken according the Van Gunchten empirical model is presented.

본 연구에서는 유역내의 토양보존계획 및 관리를 위해 토사유실평가모델과 현장검토를 실시하여 대청호 유역의 토사유실 원인지역을 선정하였다. 먼저 DEM, 정밀토양도, 토지피복도 및 강우자료를 기반으로 RUSLE 모델을 이용하여 대청호 유역의 단위토사유실량을 평가하였다. 토사유실모델에서는 토사의 이동경로 및 작물종류를 고려하기 어렵기 때문에 다각적인 현장조사를 통해 토사유실 주요하천을 선정하는 것이 필요하다. 모델로 분석한 소유역별 원인지역을 검토하기 위해 현장조사를 실시한 결과, 대청호유역에서는 무주남 대천, 원당천, 금평천 등이 높은 토사유실량을 나타내었다. 현장조사 결과 이러한 지역들은 하천주변에서 경사가 급하고 작물의 재배조건도 토사유실에 취약한 것으로 분석되었다.

The present study investigates the non-linear soil-pile interaction using three-dimensional (3D) non-linear finite element models. The numerical models were validated by using the results of extensive pile load and shaking table tests. The pile performance in liquefiable and non-liquefiable soil has been studied by analyzing the liquefaction ratio, pile lateral displacement (LD), pile bending moment (BM), and frictional resistance (FR) results. The pile models have been developed for the different ground conditions. The study reveals that the results obtained during the pile load test and shaking cycles have good agreement with the predicted pile and soil response. The soil density, peak ground acceleration (PGA), slenderness ratio (L/D), and soil condition (i.e., dry and saturated) are considered during modeling. Four ground motions are used for the non-linear time history analyses. Consequently, design charts are proposed depended on the analysis results to be used for design practice. Eleven models have been used to validate the capability of these charts to capture the soil-pile response under different seismic intensities. The results of the present study demonstrate that L/D ratio slightly affects the lateral displacement when compared with other parameters. Also, it has been observed that the increasing in PGA and decreasing L/D decreases the excess pore water pressure ratio; i.e., increasing PGA from 0.1 g to 0.82 g of loose sand model, decrease the liquefaction ratio by about 50%, and increasing L/D from 15 to 75 of the similar models (under Kobe earthquake), increase this ratio by about 30%. This study reveals that the lateral displacement increases nonlinearly under both dry and saturated conditions as the PGA increases. Similarly, it is observed that the BM increases under both dry and saturated states as the L/D ratio increases. Regarding the acceleration histories, the pile BM was reduced by reducing the acceleration intensity. Hence, the pile BM decreased to about 31% when the applied ground motion switched from Kobe (PGA=0.82 g) to Ali Algharbi (PGA=0.10 g). This study reveals that the soil conditions affect the relationship pattern between the FR and the PGA. Also, this research could be helpful in understanding the threat of earthquakes in different ground characteristics.

A comprehensive study was conducted to design economical foundations for a number of buildings on soft cohesive soil in the southern coastal regions of Iran. Both static and seismic loads were considered in the design process. Cyclic experiments indicated that the cohesive soil of the area has potential for softening. Consequently, the major challenge in the design stages was relatively high dimensions of settlement, under both static and seismic loadings. Routine soil-improvement methods were too costly for the vast area of the project. After detailed numerical modeling of different scenarios, we concluded that, in following a performance-based design approach and applying a special time schedule of construction, most of the settlement would dissipate during the construction of the buildings. Making the foundation as rigid as possible was another way to prevent any probable differential settlement. Stiff subgrade of stone and lime mortar under the grid foundation and a reinforced concrete slab on the foundation were considered as appropriate to this effect. In favor of an economical design, in case the design earthquake strikes the site, the estimations indicate no collapse of the buildings even if considerable uniform settlements may occur. This is a considerable alternative design to costly soil-improvement methods.

In the developing country like India, groundwater is the main sources for household, irrigation and industrial use. Its contamination poses hydro-geological and environmental concern. The hazardous waste sites such as landfills can lead to contamination of ground water. The contaminants existing at such sites can eventually find ingress down through the soil and into the groundwater in case of leakage. It is necessary to understand the process of migration of pollutants through sub-surface porous medium for avoiding health risks. On this backdrop, the present paper investigates the behavior of pollutants' migration through porous media. The laboratory experiments were carried out on a soil-column model that represents porous media. Two different types of soils (standard sand and red soil) were considered as the media. Further, two different solutes, i.e., non-reactive and reactive, were used. The experimental results are simulated through numerical modeling. The percentage variation in the experimental and numerical results is found to be in the range of 0.75- 11.23 % and 0.84 - 1.26% in case of standard sand and red soil, respectively. While a close agreement is observed in most of the breakthrough curves obtained experimentally and numerically, good agreement is seen in either result in one case.

The interaction between multiple structures through the supporting soil media, known as structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI), has become an increasingly important issue due to rapid urbanization. There is a need to investigate the effect of SSSI on the structural response of buildings compared to non-interaction analysis (NIA) and soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis. In the present study, two identical 4-bay×4-bay, three-story RCC buildings are modeled adjacent to each other with a soil domain beneath it to investigate the effect of SSSI on the forces experienced by footings under gravity and seismic load cases. The ANSYS software is used for modeling various non-interaction and interaction models which work on the principle of FEM. The results indicate that in most of the footings, the SSSI effect causes a significant redistribution of forces compared to SSI and NIA under both gravity and seismic load cases. The maximum interaction effect is observed on the footings that are closer to the adjacent building. The axial force, shear force and bending moment values on these footings show that SSI causes a significant increase in these values compared to non-interaction analysis but the presence of adjacent building relieves these forces significantly.

Soil venting이 오염토양중 가솔린의 용출거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 Raoult의 법칙에 근거한 복합물질 휘발/용해거동 모델을 적용하였다. 먼저 순수 가솔린의 용해거동과 휘발거동에 대해 검토한 후 토양중 가솔린의 거동에 적용하여 보았다. 가솔린성분들의 용해거동은 휘발에 의한 성분조성의 변화와 상관없이 Raoult의 법칙에 의해 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있었으며 오차범위는 naphthalene을 제외하고는 최고 $\pm$100% 이내였다. 오염토양의 형태로 가솔린이 존재하는 경우에도 Raoult의 법칙에 의해 정확히 예측될수 있었으나 토양중 농도가 초기 20,000 mg/kg에서 1,360 mg/kg까지 감소한 경우에는 예측치가 계산값보다 50~100% 정도 높은 경향을 보였다. 한편 soil venting시 휘발에 따른 조성변화를 Raoult의 법칙을 이용하여 산정하고 각 성분조성에 대한 개별물질들의 용출잠재성을 결정하는 모델을 이용하여 실험결과와 비교하였으며 모델값과 실험값의 차이에 대한 몇가지 가능한 시나리오를 제시하였다.

Cultivating soybeans in rice paddy field reduces labor costs and increases the yield. Soybeans, however, are highly susceptible to excessive soil water in paddy field. Controlled drainage system can adjust groundwater level (GWL) and control soil moisture content, resulting in improvement soil environments for optimum crop growth. The objective of this study was to fit the soybean growth data (canopy height and stem diameter) using Gompertz model and Logistic model at different GWL and validate those models. The soybean, Daewon cultivar, was grown on the lysimeters controlled GWL (20cm and 40cm). The soil textures were silt loam and sandy loam. The canopy height and stem diameter were measured from the 20th days after seeding until harvest. The Gompertz and Logistic models were fitted with the growth data and each growth rate and maximum growth value was estimated. At the canopy height, the $R_2$ and RMSE were 0.99 and 1.58 in Gompertz model and 0.99 and 1.33 in Logistic model, respectively. The large discrepancy was shown in full maturity stage (R8), where plants have shed substantial amount of leaves. Regardless of soil texture, the maximum growth values at 40cm GWL were greater than the value at 20cm GWL. The growth rates were larger at silt loam. At the stem diameter, the $R_2$ and RMSE were 0.96 and 0.27 in Gompertz model and 0.96 and 0.26 in Logistic model, respectively. Unlike the canopy height, the stem diameter in R8 stage didn't decrease significantly. At both GWLs, the maximum growth values and the growth rates at silt loam were all larger than the values at sandy loam. In conclusion, Gompertz model and Logistic model both well fit the canopy heights and stem diameters of soybeans. These growth models can provide invaluable information for the development of precision water management system.

경계반력법은 일반적인 복합법에서 필요한 진동수영역과 시간영역의 반복 작업이 필요없는 두 단계의 시간수영역 부구조법이다. 경계반력법은 다음의 두 단계로 나누어진다: (1) 진동수영역에서 선형구간과 비선형구간 경계에서 경계반력계산, (2) 시간영역에서 경계반력을 이용한 파동방사형문제 해석. 이때 시간영역에서는 파동방사형문제를 모사하기 위해 근역지반을 모델링한다. 이 연구에서는 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석을 위한 BRM 해석의 근역지반 모델링 범위에 따른 응답을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 등가선형 SSI 문제를 이용하여 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. BRM 응답의 정확성을 평가하기 위해 BRM 응답은 재래의 SSI 해석의 응답과 비교하였다. 수치해석결과 BRM 해석을 위한 근역지반 모델링 범위는 기초의 크기뿐만 아니라 지반조건의 영향을 받았다. 마지막으로, BRM 해석을 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석에 적용하므로 BRM의 정확성과 효율성을 입증하였다.

HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran)는 미국과 우리나라에서 특히 많이 사용하는 유역 수문 및 수질 모델이다. 이 모델은 분산형 모델로서 각 유역의 지형, 지질 및 오염부하특성을 정확하게 반영하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 HSPF의 매개변수 중 조도계수(NSUR), 침투(INFILT), 토양 하부의 증발산(LZETP)에 대하여 실제 용담댐 유역의 토지피복과 토양의 종류에 따라 값을 차등 입력함으로써 단일 값을 입력했을 때에 대비하여 유량, 수문 성분 및 수질의 정확도 향상 여부를 분석하였다. 조도계수와 식물의 밀도를 의미하는 토양 하부의 증발산은 토지피복의 종류에 따라 입력하였고, 침투는 유역의 수문학적 토양 그룹의 분포에 따라 입력하였다. 분석 결과 유량과 수질은 단일 값을 입력했을 때보다 각 매개변수를 토지피복과 토양의 종류별로 차등 설정하였을 때 정확도가 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 조도계수(NSUR) 입력에 의해 지표유출과 첨두유량이 증가하였고, 침투(INFILT) 입력에 의해 기저유출이 감소하고 지표유출이 증가하였으며, 증발산(LZETP) 차등 입력으로 중간유출과 지표유출이 증가하고 지하수유출이 감소하는 등 각 매개변수의 설정이 유역 말단의 유량뿐 아니라 모든 수문 성분의 구성 비율에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 유역의 토지피복 및 토양의 비균질한 특성을 정확하게 표현하는 것이 이 모델을 이용한 유량 및 수질 예측의 정확도 제고에 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.
