Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a new type of information processing system based on modeling the neural system of human brain. The prediction of swell pressures from easily determined soil properties, namely, initial dry density, initial water content, and plasticity index, have been investigated by using artificial neural networks. The results of the constant volume swell tests in oedometers, performed on statically compacted specimens of Bentonite-Kaolinite clay mixtures with varying soil properties, were trained in an ANNs program and the results were compared with the experimental values. It is observed that the experimental results coincided with ANNs results.

본 연구에서는 차수재의 차수성를 결정짓는 벤토나이트 팽윤재를 이용하여 증류수, 침출수, 바닷물 및 3% NaCl 용액등의 반응물에 대한 자유팽윤도를 측정하였으며 Poly(acrylic acid)와 PVA(polyvinyl Alcohol), SCMC(Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose)를 각각 첨가한 벤토나이트의 자유팽윤도의 변화를 비교 평가하였다. 또한 바닷물에서의 토목섬유점토차수재의 투수계수를 측정하였으며 바닷물이 차수성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다. 벤토나이트의 평균 자유팽윤도는 증류수>침출수>바닷물 순으로 감소하였다. 바닷물에서와 3% NaCl 용액에서의 자유팽윤도 값은 근소한 차이를 보였다. Poly(acrylic acid)가 첨가된 벤토나이트는 모든 반응물에서 팽윤성 향상을 나타내었고 PYA가 첨가된 벤토나이트는 증류수를 제외한 반응물에서는 팽윤성 향상을 보이지 않았다. SCMC가 첨가된 벤토나이트의 팽윤성은 3% NaCl 용액에서 다소 자유팽윤도가 떨어지나 전반적으로 팽윤성이 향상되었다.

2013년부터 2017년까지 5년간 우리나라 동해안에서 발생한 너울에 의한 사고 사례를 수집하였다. 사고발생역, 발생계절, 발생해안종류, 피해대상별로 분류하고, 사고 당시의 인근지역 파랑관측자료를 수집하여 사고와 파랑자료와의 상관성을 분석하였다. 또한 국립해양조사원의 연안재해취약성 평가 결과에 기반하여 너울 사고 발생지점의 취약성 등급을 분석하였다. 너울 사고지역은 파랑노출지수의 평균등급이 4.91, 파랑민감도지수는 3.87, 종합평가결과인 파랑영향지수는 4.90으로 높게 나타났다. 이에 대부분 너울 사고가 파랑영향지수 5등급에서 발생한 것에 기인하여 동일 등급으로 평가된 동해안 지역(78.7%)을 대상으로 파랑민감도지수와 연계하여 지역을 분류하고 각 지역의 특성에 맞는 대응방안을 마련하였다.

This paper presents an adaptive recursive least squares algorithm (ARLS) for detecting voltage sag and voltage swell events in power systems. Different methods have been developed to detect voltage sag and voltage swell. Some of them use window techniques, which are too slow when voltage sag or swell mitigation is required. Others depend on the extraction of a single non-stationary sinusoidal signal out of a given multi-components input signal, and therefore they don't consider the harmonic components in calculating the voltage root mean square value (rms). The method, proposed in this paper, is capable of estimating the voltage rms taking into account all harmonic components. The method is tested by applying it to different, simulated signals using ATP program, and compared with voltage sag detection algorithms.

Use of cement in stabilizing the sulfate-bearing clay soils forms ettringite/ thaumasite in the presence of moisture leads to excessive swelling and causes damages to structures built on them. The development and use of non-traditional stabilisers such as alkali activated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (AGGBS) and enzyme for soil stabilisation is recommended because of its lower cost and the non detrimental effects on the environment. The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of AGGBS and enzyme on improving the volume change properties of sulfate bearing soil as compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The soil for present study has been collected from Tilda, Chhattisgarh, India and 5000 ppm of sodium sulfate has been added. Various dosages of the selected stabilizers have been used and the effect on plasticity index, differential swell index and swelling pressure has been evaluated. XRD, SEM and EDX were also done on the untreated and treated soil for identifying the mineralogical and microstructural changes. The tests results show that the AGGBS and enzyme treated soil reduces swelling and plasticity characteristics whereas OPC treated soil shows an increase in swelling behaviour. It is observed that the swell pressure of the OPC-treated sulfate bearing soil became 1.5 times higher than that of the OPC treated non-sulfate soil.

Extensive study was carried out on Clay expansive soil. This soil was silty clay and can be classified as CH. The degree of expansion was found to range from low to medium depending on the free swell and swell pressure tests. The research investigated the effect of using cement dust on swelling potential, Atterberg Limit, linear shrinkage, and mineralogical composition of expansive soil. The results showed that the swelling potential, plasticity index, linear shrinkage, and clay minerals decrease with increasing cement dust percentage. The cement dust accumulates in huge amounts as a side product in cement factories, and the disposal of this fine dust is very difficult and poses an environmental threat.

In this study, the relationships between hydraulic conductivity of GCLs and physico-chemical properties of bentonites were assessed. In addition to four factory manufactured GCLs, six artificially prepared GCLs (AP-GCLs) were tested. AP-GCLs were prepared in the laboratory without bonding or stitching. A total of 20 hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted using flexible wall permeameters ten of which were permeated with distilled deionized water (DIW) and the rest were permeated with tap water (TW). The hydraulic conductivity of GCLs and AP-GCLs were between $5.2{\times}10^{-10}cm/s$ and $3.0{\times}10^{-9}cm/s$. The hydraulic conductivities of all GCLs to DIW were very similar to that of GCLs to TW. Then, simple regression analyses were conducted between hydraulic conductivity and physicochemical properties of bentonite. The best correlation coefficient was achieved when hydraulic conductivity was related with clay content (R=0.85). Liquid limit and plasticity index were other independent variables that have good correlation coefficients with hydraulic conductivity (R~0.80). The correlation coefficient with swell index is less than other parameters, but still fairly good (R~0.70). In contrast, hydraulic conductivity had poor correlation coefficients with specific surface area (SSA), smectite content and cation exchange capacity (CEC) (i.e., R < 0.5). Furthermore, some post-test properties of bentonite such as final height and final water content were correlated with the hydraulic conductivity as well. The hydraulic conductivity of GCLs had fairly good correlation coefficients with either final height or final water content. However, those of AP-GCLs had poor correlations with these variables on account of fiber free characteristics.

피스톤형의 extruder를 사용하여 조건별 보리의 extrusion 가곡적성을 검토하였다. 비교 검토된 가공조건으로서는 원료 보리가루의 수분함량 15, 25, 35%, 겉보기 전단속도 118, 534, $1169sec^{-1}$, extrusion 온도 90, 120, 150, $180^{\circ}C$가 조합되어 사용되었다. extrusion에서의 보리가루의 물성적 특성과 가공된 제품의 품질을 측정하였다. 사용된 전단속도 범위에서 보리가루는 평균유동계수 0.28을 갖는 의가소성의 물성적 특성을 보여주고 있었다. 제품의 종합적 외관, 다이 팽윤(die swell), 밀도, 가수복원성, 복원시 팽윤, 호화도등을 고려하고, 실제의 extrusion가공시 전단속도의 조정을 감안한다면 수분함량 $25{\sim}35%$와 $120^{\circ}C$ extrusion 온도 조건이 국수류와 같은 제품에 적합한 가공조건이었고, 수분함량 25%와 $150^{\circ}C$ extrusion온도 조건이 스넥이나 후레이크 제품의 가공에 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 고온의 고수분함량에서의 extrusion시 extrusion제품의 수분함량은 에너지수지로부터 상당히 잘 예측될 수 있었다.

The rapid urbanization in Pakistan is creating a shortage of sustainable construction sites with good soil conditions. Attempts have been made to use rice husk ash (RHA) in concrete industry of Pakistan, however, limited literature is available on its potential to improve local soils. This paper presents an experimental study on engineering properties of low and high plastic cohesive soils blended with 0-20% RHA by dry weight of soil. The decrease in plasticity index and shrinkage ratio indicates a reduction in swell potential of RHA treated cohesive soils which is beneficial for problems related to placing pavements and footings on such soils. It is also observed that the increased formation of pozzolanic products within the pore spaces of soil from physicochemical changes transforms RHA treated soils to a compact mass which decreases both total settlement and rate of settlement. A notable increase in friction angle with increase in RHA up to 16% was also observed in direct shear tests. It is concluded that RHA treatment is a cost-effective and sustainable alternate to deal with problematic local cohesive soils in agro-based developing countries like Pakistan.
