본 연구에서는 토양-탄체 간 분리 및 재접촉을 고려한 IFL 기반 침투해석 기술을 개발하고 이를 기존 문헌의 실험결과와 비교하는 연구를 수행했다. 탄체를 강체로 가정한 후, 토양 내로 침투 시 발생하는 구형공동팽창 현상을 고려함으로써 탄체의 궤적을 예측할 수 있다. 토양에 대한 저항함수는 Mohr-Coulomb 항복 모델을 활용했으며, 입사각 혹은 AOA에 따른 J-hook 현상을 모사할 수 있다. 기존 문헌에서의 실험결과(총 6회)와의 비교 결과, 수치해석으로부터 예측한 탄체의 침투 깊이는 실험대비 약 13.4%의 평균오차를 나타냈다. 일반적으로 탄체의 침투 경로를 예측하기 위해 유한요소법이 널리 활용된다. 하지만, 유한요소법 활용 시, 탄체의 모델링을 위해 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하며, 해석 수행을 위해 수 시간이 소요된다. 본 연구를 통해 개발한 모델을 활용할 시, 탄체의 치수 입력만 필요하며 해석 시간도 수 초 이내이다.

Due to climate change and aging of reservoirs, damage to embankment slopes is increasing. However, the safety diagnosis of the reservoir slope is mainly conducted by visual observation, and the time and economic cost are formidable to apply soil mechanical tests and slope stability analysis. Accordingly, this study presented a predicting method for the compaction and strength characteristics of the reservoir embankment soil using a portable static cone penetration test. The predicted items consisted of dry density, cohesion, and internal friction angle, which are the main factors of slope stability analysis. Portable static cone penetration tests were performed at 19 reservoir sites, and prediction equations were constructed from the correlation between penetration resistance data and test results of soil samples. The predicted dry density and strength parameters showed a correlation with test results between R² 0.40 and 0.93, and it was found to replace the test results well when used as input data for slope stability analysis (R² 0.8134 or more, RMSE 0.0320 or less). In addition, the prediction equations for the minimum safety factor of the slope were presented using the penetration resistance and gradient. As a result of comparing the predicted safety factor with the analysis results, R² 0.5125, RMSE 0.0382 in coarse-grained soil, R² 0.4182 and RMSE 0.0628 in fine-grained soil. The results of this study can be used as a way to improve the existing slope safety diagnosis method, and are expected to be used to predict the characteristics of various soils and inspect slopes.

고령지 경사지에서 모래성분이 많은 사양토 (석비레) 개간지의 토양특성에 대한 공간변이성과 분포도를 작성하여 공간적 변이를 살펴보고자 각각 $10m{\times}50m$의 면적을 가지는 5개의 포장에서 감자, 양파, 당근, 배추, 무를 재배하여 시험을 수행하였다. 각 포장의 조사지점수는 토양수분 33, 토양경도 11, 작물수량 33이었다. Semivariance 분석 결과, 대부분의 모형은 spherical 모형을 따르고 있었으며, 각 모형에 대해 공간적으로 연속성이 인정되는 거리를 나타내는 범위 (range)는 감자재배구에서 33-35 m로 고르게 큰 값을 보였고, 배추재배지는 5-6 m로 모형에 대한 연속성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 수분과 경도 및 수량에 대한 변이계수는 14-59%로 다양하였고, 감자수량의 변이계수가 59%로 가장 높았으며, 무재배지의 수분은 14%로 낮았다. 표준편차 5% 유의수준에서 10%의 오차를 가지는 경우를 기준으로 적정시료의 수를 조사한 결과, 필요한 시료수는 수분 8-40개, 경도 7-25개, 수량 424-4,6787개가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. Variogram과 분포도를 통해 수분과 경도 및 작물수량의 공간적 분포 및 변이성을 쉽게 파악할 수 있으며, 이를 활용한다면 보다 효율적이고 정밀한 토양관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

최근까지 지반의 액상화 저항강도를 산정하기 위한 실내시험의 대부분은 실지진하중을 재하하기보다는 Seed와 Idriss(1975)가 제안한 등가전단응력 개념에 기초하여 지진이 발생시키는 최대전단응력의 65%를 최대진폭으로 한 정현하중을 반복재하시켜왔다. 이러한 정현하중이 정확하게 실제 지반에 작용하는 불규칙한 지진력을 모사하고 있다고 볼 수 없으나, 시험상의 편의성으로 인해 현재까지도 이용이 빈번한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 지진하중 하에서 포화 사질토의 거동변화를 규명하고자 정현하중이 아닌 불규칙한 지진하중을 이용한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 지진규모의 실지진 시간이력을 진동하중으로 작용시킨 진동삼축시험을 통해 지진규모 및 지속시간의 변화에 따른 포화사질토의 동적 특성을 실험적으로 규명하고 기존의 등가전단응력 개념에 기초한 액상화 저항강도와 비교분석하였다. 또한, 중약진 지진대로 구분되는 국내 실정을 고려하여 다양한 지진규모에 적용가능한 수정계수를 제시하고 이를 기존의 연구결과와 비교분석하였다.

Model tests for the ultimate pullout resistance of anchorages and investigation of failure behaviors in cohesionless soil have been conducted. The factors affecting the anchorage are mostly the geometry of the system, and soil properties of sands. The main conclusions of the experimental work were as follows. 1. The load - displacement relationship can be a form of parabolic curve for all plates. 2. The change in ultimate pullout resistance of anchor is mostly affected by embedment ratio and size of anchor, and influenced to a lesser degree by its shape. 3. Critical embedment ratio which is defined as the failure mode changes from shallow to deep mode is increased with increasing height of anchor. 4. For a constant anchor height, as the width of anchor increases the ultimate pullout resistance also increases. However, considering the efficiency of anchor for unit area, width of anchor does not appear to have any sigrnificant contribution on increasing anchor city. 5. Anchor capacity has a linear relation to sand density for any given section and the rate of change increases as the section increases. Critical depth determining the failure patterns of anchor is decreased with a decrease of sand density. 6. With increasing inclination angle, size of anchor, and decreasing embedment ratio, the ultimate pullout resistance of anchor under inclined loading is significantly decreased. 7. The ultimate pullout resistance of double anchor, a method of improving single of anchor capacity, is influenced by the center - to - center spacing adjacent anchors. It is also found that tandem and parallel anchor rigging arrangements decrease the anchor system capacity to less than twice the single anchor capacity due to anchor interference.

The spudcan requires the suitable design considering the soil, platform, and environmental conditions. Its shape needs to be designed to secure sufficient reaction of soil so that it can prevent overturning accidents. Its shape also has to minimize the installation and extraction time. Even in the same soil condition, the reaction of soil may be different depending on the shape of spud can, mainly the slope of top and bottom plates. Therefore, in this study, the relation between the slope of plates and the reaction of soil with and without water jetting is analyzed to better understand their interactions and correlations. For the investigation, a wind turbine installation jack-up rig (WTIJ) is selected as the target platform and the Gulf of Mexico is considered as the target site. A multi layered (sand overlying two clays) soil profile is applied as the assumed soil condition and the soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis is performed by using ANSYS to analyze the effect of the slope change of the bottom plate and water jetting on the reaction of soil. This kind of investigation and simulation is needed to develop optimal and smart spudcan with water-jetting control in the future.

Plastic wastes, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) generated from used bottled water constitute a worldwide environmental issue. Reusing the PET waste for geotechnical applications not only reduces environmental burdens of handling the waste, but also improves inherent engineering properties of soil. This paper investigated factors affecting shear strength improvement of PET-mixed residual soil. Four variables were considered: (i) plastic content; (ii) plastic slenderness ratio; (iii) plastic size; and (iv) soil particle size. A series of unconfined compression tests were performed to determine the optimum configurations for promoting the shear strength improvement. The results showed that the optimum slenderness ratio and PET content for shear strength improvement were 1:3 and 1.5%, respectively. Large PET pieces (i.e., $1.0cm^2$) were favorable for fine-grained residual soil, while small PET pieces (i.e., $0.5cm^2$) were favorable for coarse-grained residual soil. Higher shear strength improvement was obtained for PET-mixed coarse-grained residual soil (148%) than fine-grained residual soils (117%). The orientation of plastic pieces in soil and frictional resistance developed between soil particles and PET surface are two important factors affecting the shear strength performance of PET-mixed soil.

This research was made over drought resistance and optimum soil moisture needed with Plantago asiatica L. as the material by means of making out the process of its growth under different soil moisture contents. The soil used for the experiment was a mixture of vermiculite and c-layer soil, and the process of growth was compared with each other controlling its soil mositure as: 7%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60%. In 7% range of soil moisture which was of low content, the increase of growth was neither significantly indicated nor any permanent seeding done. In view of this phenomenon, Plantago asiatica L. appeared to be highly drought-resistant. It was found rising at 30% range and reaching the optimum state at 45% range and falling down at 60% range range. In viw of this fluctuation indicated above, the optimum soil moisture content needed for the growth of Plantago asiatica L. is thought to be between 30% and 60%. It is thought the number of seed per capsule is not affected by the soil moisture content. It is expected an ecotypic variation by the soil moisture content will bring forth upon Plantago asiatica L.

Bioremediation of hazardous hydrophobic organic compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a major environmental concern due to their toxic and carcinogenic properties. Due to their hydrophobicity, the hydrophobic organic compounds are mainly associated with the soil organic matter or nonaqueous-phase liquids. A major question concerns the relationships between biodegradation and sorption. This work develops and utilizes a non- steady state model for evaluating the interactions between sorption and biodegradation of phenanthrene, a 3-ring PAH compound, in soil-slurry systems. The model includes sorption/desorption of a target compound, its utilization by microorganisms as a primary substrate existing in the dissolved phase and/or the sorbed phase in biomass and soil, oxygen transfer, and oxygen utilization as an electron acceptor. Biodegradation tests with phenanthrene were conducted in liquid and soil-slurry systems. The soil-slurry tests were performed with very different mass transfer rate: fast mass transfer in a flask test at 150 rpm, and slow mass transfer in a roller-bottle test at 2 rpm. In the slurry tests, phenanthrene was degraded more rapidly than in liquid tests, but with a similar rate in both slurry systems. Modeling analyses with several hypotheses indicate that a model without biodegradation of compound sorbed to the soil was not able to account for the rapid degradation of phenanthrene, particularly in the roller bottle slurry test. Reduced mass-transfer resistance to bacteria attached to the soil is the most likely phenomenon accounting for rapid sorbed-phase biodegradation.
