본 논문에서는 연속재하압밀시험을 적용하여 준설토의 거동을 연구하고 얇은 판을 이용하여 준설토의 강도 시험을 실시하는 새로운 실험 방법을 고안하여 실험을 하였다. 이 경우 준설토의 유동적 특성은 Bingham 모델로 설명할 수 있다. 이러한 방법을 위하여 정적 관입시험과 유동적 관입시험을 실시하였는데 두 방법은 모두 합 리적이고 실용성이 있었다. 특히 실험을 통하여 얻은 결론에 따르면 점토질이 많은 흙이나 실트 질 흙 모두에 대해서 함수비가 액성한계의 두배보다 적어지면 강도가 급격히 증가하는 반면,소 성지수의 경우 소성지수로 정규화한 함수비값이 실트는 10, 점토는 5이하가 되면서 소성지수로 정규화한 함수비값의 강도가 급격히 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

The Segregation Potential (SP) is one of the most widely used predictors of frost heave in cold regions. Laboratory step-freezing tests determining a representative SP at the onset of the formation of the last ice lens (near the thermal steady state condition) can predict susceptibility to frost heave. Previous work has proposed empirical semi-log fitting for determination of the representative SP and applied it to several fine-grained soils, but considering only frost-susceptible soils. The presence of fines in coarse-grained soil affects frost susceptibility. Therefore, it is required to evaluate the applicability of the empirical semi-log fitting for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils with fines content. This paper reports laboratory frost heave tests for fines contents of 5%-70%. The frost susceptibility of soil mixtures composed of sand and silt was classified by the representative SP, and the suitability of the empirical semi-log fitting method was assessed. Combining semi-log fitting with simple laboratory frost heave testing using a temperature-controllable cell is shown to be suitable for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils. In addition, initially non-frost-susceptible soil became frost susceptible at a 10%-20% weight fraction of fines. This threshold fines content matched well with transitions in the engineering characteristics of both the unfrozen and frozen soil mixtures.

본 논문에서는 무해성 고화재와 건설공사 시 발생하는 흙을 이용하여 포장재료로 혼합 처리하는 방안을 연구하고자 한다. 특히, 일반적으로 고화재로 많이 사용되어 온 시멘트가 갖고 있는 유해성(6가크롬 등)을 극복함과 동시에 고강도 화 함으로써 준설토 처리, 해안구조물 기초처리, 사면표층안정처리, 하천제방 침식 방지 등 전반적인 토목/건축 구조물 기초보강 및 안정처리공법에 활용하고자 하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 연구에 사용된 NSS(Natural Stabilizer Soil)는 천연섬유에서 추출한 단섬유와 석회 등을 혼합한 재료를 주원료로 하며, 흙의 전단강도를 증가시켜 지반의 지지력과 내구성을 향상시키고 침수와 동해를 방지하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 친환경성을 측정하기 위한 pH측정결과 6.67~7.15로 나타났으며, 용출시험 결과 납(Pb)과 시안(CN)만이 기준치 이하로 나타나 NSS자체에 포함된 유해성분은 거의 없는 것으로 판정되었다. 일축강도 실험결과 풍화토와 NSS의 혼합비율 6%에서 약 1,850kpa의 강도를 발현하는 것으로 나타났으며, 포장재로써의 적부를 판정하기 위한 CBR. 시험결과 원지반의 CBR은 4%~6%인데 비하여 NSS의 혼합비가 6% 이상인 경우 수침 CBR.값은 100% 이상으로 포장재료로써 활용도가 매우 높을 것으로 기대된다.

Ready-mixed soil material, known as a kind of controlled low-strength material, is a new way of soil cement combination. It can be used as backfill materials. In this paper, artificial neural network and nonlinear regression approach were applied to predict the compressive strength of ready-mixed soil material containing Portland cement, slag, sand, and soil in mixture. The data used for analyzing were obtained from our testing program. In the experiment, we carried out a mix design with three proportions of sand to soil (e.g., 6:4, 5:5, and 4:6). In addition, blast furnace slag partially replaced cement to improve workability, whereas the water-to-binder ratio was fixed. Testing was conducted on samples to estimate its engineering properties as per ASTM such as flowability, strength, and pulse velocity. Based on testing data, the empirical pulse velocity-strength correlation was established by regression method. Next, three topologies of neural network were developed to predict the strength, namely ANN-I, ANN-II, and ANN-III. The first two models are back-propagation feed-forward networks, and the other one is radial basis neural network. The results show that the compressive strength of ready-mixed soil material can be well-predicted from neural networks. Among all currently proposed neural network models, the ANN-I gives the best prediction because it is closest to the actual strength. Moreover, considering combination of pulse velocity and other factors, viz. curing time, and material contents in mixture, the proposed neural networks offer better evaluation than interpolated from pulse velocity only.

Soil testing is one of the major strategies for establishing sustainable agricultural practice as it analyzes nutrient contents of soil and determines the amount of nutrients required for crop growth. Soil testing for the field cultivating regional major crops in Korea has been conducting by National Academy of Agricultural Science (NAAS), provincial agricultural research & extension services and agriculture technology centers since 2000. 1,006,227 soil samples were analyzed and uploaded on Korean soil information system (http://soil.rda.go.kr) from 2003 to 2013. Soil pH has changed from 6.1 to 6.2. Organic matter (OM), available (Avail.) phosphate and exchangeable (Exch.) K have decreased from 24 to $23gkg^{-1}$, 541 to $399mgkg^{-1}$ and 0.90 to $0.72cmol_ckg^{-1}$ between 2003 and 2013, respectively. Especially, Exch. Ca contents decreased to $5.7cmol_ckg^{-1}$ in 2009 and increased to $6.2cmol_ckg^{-1}$ in 2013. Ratios of optimal ranges for cropping were 48% for pH, 22% for OM, 26% for Avail. phosphate, and 23, 16, 22% for Exch. K, Ca and Mg in 2013. Ratios of optimal ranges for pH increased and low ranges for OM, Avail. phosphate and Exch. K increased. Frequency distribution was 64% for pH 5.5~7.0, 65% for OM $10{\sim}30gkg^{-1}$, 48% for Avail. phosphate under $300mgkg^{-1}$ and 23, 29, 22% for Exch. K 0.2~0.6, Ca 4.0~6.0 and Mg $1.0{\sim}1.5cmol_ckg^{-1}$.

The deformation coordination between a rock/soil mass and an optical sensing cable is an important issue for accurate deformation monitoring. A stress-controlled triaxial apparatus was retrofitted by introducing an optical fiber into the soil specimen. High spatial resolution optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) was used for monitoring the strain distribution along the axial direction of the specimen. The results were compared with those measured by a displacement meter. The strain measured by the optical sensing cable has a good linear relationship with the strain calculated by the displacement meter for different confining pressures, which indicates that distributed optical fiber sensing technology is feasible for soil deformation monitoring. The performance of deformation coordination between the sensing cable and the soil during unloading is higher than that during loading based on the strain transfer coefficients. Three hypothetical strain distributions of the triaxial specimen are proposed, based on which theoretical models of the strain transfer coefficients are established. It appears that the parabolic distribution of specimen strain should be more reasonable by comparison. Nevertheless, the strain transfer coefficients obtained by the theoretical models are higher than the measured coefficients. On this basis, a strain transfer model considering slippage at the interface of the sensing cable and the soil is discussed.

In this study, the full scale testing method of the geogrid-reiuorced soil Segmental Retaining Walll(SRW) under the simulated train loading were proposed in order to evaluate the applicability of reinforced soil SRW in railway embankment. The train loading was simulated by the design static wheel load and the impact coefficient due to the train passing velocity. This test was focused on the static performance of reinforced soil SRW in terms of the following measuring systems ; the horizontal earth pressure displacement acting on the facing block and the tensile strain along the geogrid. The data gathered from this full scale testing was compared with numerical analysis results by FLAC.

시설하우스 토양의 염류 집적은 연작장해로 인한 작물의 수량성 감소뿐만 아니라 지하수 등 수계의 오염 가능성을 높이고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 시설하우스 토양의 염류집적 양상을 개선하는 한 방법을 제시하고자 시행되었다. 볏짚 (RS)과 파쇄목 (W)의 시용으로 토마토의 수량은 높아졌고 배꼽 썩음과의 발생은 줄었으며, 배추의 수량도 표준시비했을 때보다 증가되었다. 토양에 잔류하는 질산과 인산, 카리의 함량 및 전기전도도가 표준시비 처리구보다 낮았는데, 이는 토양검정을 기준으로 한 비료 시용량 절감도 한 이유일 것이다. 또한, 볏짚과 파쇄목의 시용은 토양 가비중을 낮춰 공극량을 높였으며, 토양 미생물체 탄소와 dehydrogenase 활성을 증가시켰다. 파쇄목의 시용은 볏짚과 비교하여 토마토와 배추의 수량이 높았으며, 작물 수확 후 토양에 질산과 인산이 덜 잔류하였고, 토양 미생물체와 dehydrogenase 활성은 높았다. 본 연구는 파쇄목 시용과 검정시비에 의한 화학비료의 절감이 하우스토양의 염류집적을 경감시킬 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였으며, 토양의 화학성뿐만 아니라 물리성과 미생물성도 함께 검토하면 토양 질의 변화에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 데 도움이 됨을 보여주었다.
