The mechanical behaviours of biopolymer-treated soil depend on the formation of soil-biopolymer matrices. In this study, various biopolymers(e.g., xanthan gum (XG), locust bean gum (LBG), sodium alginate (SA), agar gum (AG), gellan gum (GE) and carrageenan kappa gum (KG) are selected to treat three types of natural soil at different concentrations (e.g., 1%, 2% and 3%) and curing time (e.g., 4-365 days), and reveal the reinforcement effect on natural soil by using unconfined compression tests. The results show that biopolymer-treated soil obtains the maximum unconfined compressive strength (UCS) at curing 14-28 days. Although the UCS of biopolymer-treated soil has a 20-30% reduction after curing 1-year compared to the maximum value, it is still significantly larger than untreated soil. In addition, the UCS increment ratio of biopolymer-treated soil decreases with the increase of biopolymer concentration, and there exists the optimum concentration of 1%, 2-3%, 2%, 1% and 2% for XG, SA, LBG, KG and AG, respectively. Meanwhile, the optimum initial moisture content can form uniformly biopolymer-soil matrices to obtain better reinforcement efficiency. Furthermore, the best performance in increasing soil strength is XG following SAand LBG, which are significantly better than AG, KG and GE.

This study is to make plans for perpendicular greening with artificial ground of planter type to improve urban environment. The experiments of this study are performed to find out the suitable soil and irrigation method for artificial ground of planter greening. Thereupon, organic or inorganic soil improvement material is mixed with soil of each planter as experiment, In result, the plants in soil mixed organic soil improvement material thrive rather than that in soil mixed inorganic material, It is to be desired that the planter equip with the irrigation system, be wider than planter and be planted shrubs for positive plant growth. As for irrigation system, drip irrigation is effective on plant growth southern exposure but Ebb and Flow is effective eastern exposure. Therefore, irrigation system should consist of two types above plus keeping water on the bottom of planter to save water and store rainwater.

Soil volume conversion factors are used for estimation of an excavated the soil volume which will be removed or added in levelling the ground surface of a construction site. An accurate evaluation method will help us reduce a construction cost and time consuming. In this study, we performed the laboratory tests, including grain size measurement, water content, specific gravity, porosity, density and XRD tests, to suggest reliable soil volume conversion factors and weathering indices in field using nondestructive methods. The weathering index and soil volume conversion factor L are obtained for different types of soils. At results, the CIW index is the best method measuring the weathering index and the factor L is relative to natural porosity, void ratio, density and dry density.

This study was for comparisons of transitional element concentrations from the two different soil, serpentinite(SP) and granite area(GR), Kwangcheon and Hongseong area. Soils were collected by soil depths (10, 20 and 30cm) from the sites selected In the plant species(coniferous and deciduous species). In the soils, the SP was high in the Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Zn concentrations, while the GR was high in the Cu, As, Sc and V. With the soil depths, the elements had high solubility, such as Cr, Co and Ni concentrations, were high in the SP, while the other elements were not clear. For the both species, the SP was high in the root and bolebark, while in the GR, not clear. Coniferous species in the same soil types, was higher than the deciduous In most elements. The more with increasing ages, the more with element accumulation in most plant parts except leaves. Comparisons between the soils and plant species, in the case of the element contents within the soils, the plant species in the same sites was similar trend. especially, clear in the SP

When an electrokinetic process is applied to a HOC-contaminated soil, hybrid types combined with soil flushing, chemical oxidation, and bioremediation are generally used. Especially when the electrokinetic process is combined with bioremediation, the hybrid technology can solve several limits of bioremediation such as low microbial mobility, low soil temperature, and shortage of nutrients in subsurface circumstance. Because microbial surface is charged negatively, the microorganism moves from cathode to anode under electrical field. In this study, mixed culture mainly-consisted by Pseudomonas sp. was applied to remediate pentadecane-contaminated kaolinite with particle size less than 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. This remediation system was named ‘electrokinetic bioaugmentation’ and consisted of model aquifer, electrode reservoirs, bioreactor, power supply, and pump. The mixed culture above 0.5 of optical density in bioreactor was supplied to two reservoirs and penetrated soil when the electric current was applied. To enhance the removal efficiency, the optimal medium composition, electric current, and voltage were investigated.

Soil nailing method is widely used in reinforcing slopes and excavating earth. The analysis of nail-reinforced slopes, in order to determine the economical length ratio and nail angle, complicated analytical need to be applied by means of computer programs. Therefor this suggested Soil stability Chart for nailed slopes which may be very useful for pre-design, rapidly design, and final check. Three slope types, three nail length and three nail angles are selected for the stability analysis by using limit equilibrium method of Bishop and French Method. From the above results, this study propose the slope reinforced design charts for dry season and rainy season. This proposed reinforced design charts can check dry season as well as rainy season, also these charts can provide reinforcing requirement, soil nail's economical length ratio and nail angle as well.

This study was conducted to measure the moisture content of soil using RF impedance in the range of 1 to 30MHz. Considering the water potential flow in the soils, two types of sensor such as parallel cylinder and perpendicular plate type were fabricated and tested. The capacitance and resistance of sonsors for soil samples having moisture content range of 2 to 27% were measured by Q-meter (HP4342). The higher soil moisture content was and the larger soil bulk density was, the more the capacitance of sensors increased. To eliminate the effect of bulk density on measuring soil moisture content using RF impedance, two kinds of model having the density independent functions such as the ratio of capacitance change to conductance change and weight of water and dry soils respectively were developed and estimated by regression analysis.

단순1차원 STELLA 모델이 토양수분 수지계산에 의해 일리노이 옥수수 포장의 질소용탈을 예측하기 위하여 개발되었다. 이는 옥수수포장이라는 한정된 생태계 안에서의 물의 연간 유입량과 유출량을 산정하는데 물의 유입에는 강우량과 유출에는 유거, 증발산 및 배수량이 계산되었다. 모델에는 일일강우량과 증산량 등 2개의 기상자료가 이용되었고, 토양의 다양한 전환상수들이 토양의 물리화학성을 고려하여 일차식으로 계산되어 이용되었다. 모델의 결과는 토층에 따른 토양수분의 일일 변화량과 손실량이 산출된다. 모델에 의한 물 수지는 강우가 많았던 1993년은 늘어난 반면 강우가 적었던 1992년과 1994년에는 줄어들었다. 또한 유기물과 점토가 많은 토양에서 수분의 유출량이 적었다. 모델에 의한 토양 수분함량은 표준편차를 고려한 측정치와 토양통에 따라 22-78%, 토층에 따라 30-70%의 일치를 보였고, 이러한 불일치는 토양수분과 질소화합물의 확산 등 수평적 이동, 다른 형태의 질소 손실, 뿌리의 분포, 영농 형태 및 토양의 여러 특성들이 고려되지 않은 1차원 모델이기 때문이라 사료된다.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)를 활용하여 토양수분을 산출 할 시 기존의 위성기반 자료에 비해 고해상도의 공간 자료를 생산할 수 있다. 고해상도의 광역 토양수분 자료는 기존의 위성 기반 토양수분 대비 보다 세밀한 지표면 토양수분 변동 관측이 가능하게 하므로, 산사태, 산불 및 홍수와 같은 자연재해 연구에 활용성이 뛰어나다. 하지만 SAR 신호인 후방산란계수는 토양수분 뿐만 아니라, 식생에 의한 영향도 포함하기 때문에 정확한 토양수분을 산정하기 위해서는 이러한 영향을 고려하는 단계가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 중부의 농지, 산지, 및 초지의 식생조건 하에서 Sentinel-1 위성 SAR 자료를 활용하여 토양수분을 산정하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 식생의 영향을 고려하기 위해 대표적인 지표면 레이더 신호 산란 모형인 Water Cloud Model (WCM)을 사용하였으며, 식생 인자로 Radar Vegetation Index (RVI)를 활용하였다. 연구 지역으로는 토지피복도에 따라 농지와 초지, 산지 각각 2개 지역, 총 6개 대상 지역을 선정하였다. WCM의 매개변수 모의를 위해 지상 관측 토양수분 자료를 활용하였다. 관측 토양수분과의 검증 결과 초지, 산지, 농지 순으로 높은 정확도가 나타났으며, 특히 산지에서는 짙은 식생에도 불구하고 상관계수 값이 0.5 이상으로 나타난 반면 농지에서는 0.3 미만의 매우 낮은 값이 관측되었다. 연구 결과를 통해 다양한 식생 피복에서 SAR 기반 토양수분 산정에 적합한 관측 토양수분 조건을 제시 하였다. 향후 식생 높이, 식생 종류 등 과 융합한 연구가 수행된다면 보다 정확한 토양수분을 산정 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
