동결토의 부동수분특성은 지반의 열-수리-역학적 거동 전반에 걸쳐 지배적인 영향을 미치며, 동결 지반의 안정성 평가를 위해서는 대상 지반재료의 부동수분특성에 대한 면밀한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 간극수 염분농도를 고려한 동결 사질토의 부동수분곡선을 평가하기 위하여 흙의 어는점 및 부동수분을 측정하는 실내 실험을 수행하였으며, 계측된 실험데이터를 기반으로 부동수분포화도 곡선을 간편하게 추정할 수 있는 경험적 모델을 새롭게 제시하였다. 또한, 제안된 경험적 모델을 입력자료로 적용한 해석모델의 시뮬레이션 결과를 실험데이터와 비교함으로써 사용된 부동수분곡선의 적정성을 검증하였다.

Because the hydraulic/mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil is more complicated than that of saturated soil, one of the most important issues in modelling unsaturated soil is to properly couple its stress-strain relationship with its water retention characteristics. Based on the results of a series of tests, the stress-strain relationship and the changes in suction and saturation of unsaturated completely decomposed granite (CDG, also called Masado) vary substantially under different loading/hydraulic conditions. To precisely model the hydraulic/mechanical behaviour of unsaturated Masado, in this study, the superloading concept was firstly introduced into an existing saturated/unsaturated constitutive model to consider the structural influences. Then a water retention curve (WRC) model considering the volumetric change in the soil, in which the skeleton and scanning curves of the water retention characteristics were assumed to shift in parallel in accordance with the change in the void ratio, was proposed. The proposed WRC model was incorporated into the constitutive model, and the validity of the newly proposed model was verified using the results of tests conducted on unsaturated Masado, including water retention, oedometer and triaxial tests. The accuracy of the proposed model in describing the stress-strain relationship and the variations in suction and saturation of unsaturated Masado is satisfactory.

불포화토양내 물의 흐름과 유기오염물질의 이동현상을 예측하기 위해서는 불포화토양의 토양수분곡선을 구하는 것이 필수적이다. 입자크기분포로부터 토양수분곡선을 직접 구하는 물리경험적 방법이 많은 연구자들에 의해 제안되고 적용되어왔다. 이 방법은 공극크기분포가 직접적으로 입자크기분포와 상호 연관되어있다는 개념을 이용한 것으로, 입자크기분포곡선을 산정하는 방법이 토양수분곡선추정에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 Arya-Paris 모형을 이용한 토양수분곡선 추정이 어떠한 입자크기분포모형을 선택하는가에 따라 영향을 받는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 1∼4의 추정변수를 갖는 4개의 입자분포곡선 모형을 사용한 결과 단지 1개의 추정변수를 갖는 Jaky모형이 더 많은 추정변수를 가진 모형보다 토양수분곡선을 잘 예측하였다. Jaky모형의 우월한 예측력은 아마도 현장토양이 가지는 구조적 특성 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Water retention curve (WRC), one of soil hydraulic properties, is often approximated by property-transfer models (PTMs). Using the PTMs, we can estimate the WRCs from other physical properties such as particle-size distribution (PSD). The objective of this work was to investigate the performance of two PTMs with different origins for numerical simulations on transport of Benzo[a]pyrene in a soil. To do this, we chose both PTMs with different origins, i.e., (1) the lognormal distribution model (L anti NL models), and (2) the modified $Kov\'{a}cs$ model (MK model). The MK model showed tile worse performance in estimation of the WRCs. When transport of B[a]P was simulated, the MK model predicted to move farther than the L and NL models did, indicating that transport of B[a]P in a soil can be greatly influenced by the choice of PTMs.

비포화 흐름의 지배방정식인 Richards식을 수치해석하기 위해 필요한 물보유함수는 이력현상을 가지고 있으며 이러한 이력현상은 비포화 흐름특성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 토양시료의 물보유함수 실측치를 이용하여 기존의 이력현상 모형들의 정확성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 물보유함수 이력현상을 실측할 수 있는 실험장치를 개발하여 국내 토양시료를 대상으로한 주젖음과정과 주마름과정의 실측치를 구하였고, 이 자료로부터 물보유함수 추정식인 van Genuchten식의 매개변수를 추정하였다. 추정된 주젖음곡선을 이력현상 모형인 Model I-1(Mualem), Model II-1(Mualem) 과 Model III-2(박과 선우)에 적용하여 주마름곡선을 모의한 결과, Model I-1의 모의곡선은 주마름곡선의 실측치를 과대 모의하고 Model II-1은 과소 모의하지만 Model III-2는 실측치에 근접하게 모의하였다.

Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function is one of key parameters to solve the flow phenomena in problems of landslide. Prediction models for hydraulic conductivity function related to soil-water retention curve equations in many geotechnical applications have been still used instead of direct measurement of the hydraulic conductivity function since prediction models from soil-water retention curve equations are attractive for their fast and easy use and low cost. However, many researchers found that prediction models for the hydraulic conductivity function can not predict the hydraulic conductivity exactly in comparison with experimental outputs. This research introduced an inverse analysis to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity function corresponding to experimental output from the flow pump system. Optimisation process was carried out to obtain the hydraulic conductivity function. This research showed that the inverse analysis with flow pump system was suitable to assess the hydraulic conductivity in unsaturated soil, and the prediction models for the hydraulic conductivity were led to the significant discrepancy from actual experimental outputs.

A macro spreadsheet model, WEANES (Wet Pond Annual Efficiency Simulation Model), has been developed to predict the long-term or annual removal efficiencies of wet retention/detention basins. The model uses historical, site-specific, multi-year, rainfall data, usually available from a nearby National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climatological station to estimate basin efficiencies which are calculated based on annual mass loads. Other required input parameters are: 1) watershed parameters; drainage area, pervious curve number, directly connected impervious area, and ti me of concentration, 2) pond parameters; control and overflow elevations, pond side slopes, surface areas at control elevation and pond bottom; 3) outlet structure parameters; 4) pollutant event mean concentrations; and 5) pond loss rate which is defined as the net loss due to evaporation, infiltration and water reuse. The model offers default options for parameters such as pollutant event mean concentrations and pond loss rate. The model can serve as a design, planning, and permitting tool for consulting engineers, planners and government regulators.

원토양인 논토양 위에 마사토를 적토(積土)한 토양에 대한 토양수분 특성곡선을 작성해 보고, 이를 추정하는데 가장 널리 활용되고 있는 van Genuchten (VG) 모형과 Brooks-Corey (BC) 모형을 비교평가 해 그 효용성을 판단하기 위해 수행했다. 4개의 층위로 구분되는 측정 대상토양은 표토부터 30 cm 까지는 양질사토, 30~70, 70~120 cm는 사토, 120 cm 이상에서는 사양토로 분석된 토양이다. 토양수분 함량과 토양수분 메트릭 퍼텐셜과의 관계를 나타내는 토양수분 특성곡선 분석에 따르면, 원토양인 120 cm 이상 깊이 토양에서의 수분보유 특성을 제외하고 나머지 세 개 층위 토양에서의 수분 보유 특성은 0~30 cm, 30~70 cm 층위는 비슷하고 70~120 cm 층위는 약간 높은 경향이었다. 상대수분 포화도와 토양수분 메트릭 퍼텐셜의 관계를 표현함에 있어 멱함수 형태인 BC 모형보다는 해석학적 분석방법을 활용한 VG모형이 실측값에 근사한 추정결과를 제공했다. 포화상태의 종점이자 불포화상태의 시발점인 공기유입가 (AEV) 추정에도 측정 한계치 부근의 메트릭 퍼텐셜 값을 나타내는 BC모형보다는 9.5~40 cm (4 kPa)을 보였던 VG모형이 적합했다. 따라서, 인위적으로 원토양 위에 석비레 (마사토)로 적토된 토양에서의 토양수분 특성곡선 작성을 위한 추정모형에 VG모형을 활용하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 이러한 결과로부터 VG 모형을 수자원량 산정을 위한 SCS (Soil Conservation Service, USDA) CN (Curve Number) 계산 과정에서 토양단면 내의 수분 보유 인자 (retention parameter) 산출을 위한 토양수분함량을 추정하는데 활용하거나 침투모형 (Green-Ampt Mein-Larson)을 설명하기 위한 습윤전선 매트릭 퍼텐셜을 추정하는데 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

Air-water interfacial area is of great importance for the analysis of contaminant mass transfer processes occurring in the soil systems. Capillary bundle model has been proposed to estimate the specific air-water interfacial areas in unsaturated soils. In this study, the measured air-water interfacial areas of a soil (loam) using the gaseous interfacial tracer technique were compared to those from capillary bundle model. The measured values converged to the specific solid surface area (7.6×104 ㎠/㎤) of the soil. However, the simulated air-water interfacial areas based on the capillary bundle model deviated significantly from those measured. The simulated values were substantially over-estimated at low end of the water content range, whereas the model under-estimated the air-water interfacial area for the most of the water content range. This under-estimation is considered to be caused by the nature of the capillary bundle model that replaces the soil pores with a bundle of glass capillaries and thus no surface roughness at the inner surface of the capillaries is taken into account for the estimation of the air-water interfacial area with the capillary bundle model. Subsequently, appropriate correction is necessary for the capillary bundle model to estimate the air-water interfacial area in soils. Since the soil-moisture release curve data is the basis of the capillary bundle model, the model can be of use due to its simplicity, while the gaseous tracer technique requires complicated experimental equipment followed by moment analysis of the breakthrough curves. The size distribution profile of the pores filled with gas estimated by the water retention curve was found to be similar to that of particle size at different size range. The shifted distribution of gas-filled pores toward smaller size side compared to the particle size distribution was also found.

In unsaturated porous media, the air-water interface (AWI) plays an important role in removing of biocolloids such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoan (oo)cysts. In this study, four models related to calculation of specific AWI area are analyzed to determine the appropriate model, and the selected models are verified using the previously reported experimental data. The results indicate that the modified model from Niemet et al. (2002) is the most appropriate tool for calculating the specific AWI area using the van Genuchten (1980) parameters obtained from the water retention curve. Hence, it is expected that this model could be used to quantitatively determine the attachment of biocolloids to AWI in the transport modeling of biocolloids in unsaturated porous media.
