An efficient method of selecting an antagonistic strain for use as a biological control agent strain was developed. In this improved method, the surface tension reduction potential of an isolate was included in the 'decision factor,' in addition to two other factors; the growth rate and pathogen inhibition. By using a statistically designed method, an isolate from the soil was selected and identified as Bacillus sp. GB 16. In the pot test, this strain showed the best performance among the isolated strains. The lowest disease incidence rate and fastest seed growth were observed when the Bacillus sp. GB 16 was used. The action of the surface tension reducing component was assumed to enhance the wetting, spreading, and residing of the antagonistic strain in the rhizosphere. This result showed that the improved selection method was quite effective in selecting the best antagonistic strain for the biological control of soilborne infectious plant pathogens.

Surface texturing of micro-dimples has been used in many manufacturing industries to reduce friction between two sliding contacted surfaces. Surface texturing decreases the frictional force owing to minimizing of the sliding contact area. In this paper, micro-dimples have been fabricated on an Al6061-T6 surface using a two-frequency elliptical vibration texturing (TFEVT) method. A high-frequency of 18 kHz and low-frequency of 250 Hz were applied to an elliptically-vibrated tool holder. The Stribeck curve was plotted to analyze the friction coefficient trends. Furthermore, the representative wetting index, such as the water contact angle (WCA), was measured by considering the friction coefficient. WCA is associated with micro-dimple density and associated parameters. Consequently, the dimpled surfaces with a low friction coefficient exhibited a relatively high WCA in the feed direction. According to the Stribeck curve, the dimpled surfaces demonstrate superior friction performance for mixed-film lubrication compared to the non-textured surface.

Permeable reactive barriers used for groundwater treatment require proper estimation of the reactive material behavior regarding the emplacement method. This study evaluates the dry emplacement of zeolite (clinoptilolite) to be used as a reactive material in the barrier by carrying out several geotechnical laboratory tests. Dry zeolite samples, exhibited higher wetting-induced compression strains at the higher vertical stresses, up to 12% at 400 kN/m². The swelling potential was observed to be limited with a 3.5 swell index and less than 1% free swelling strain. Direct shear tests revealed that inundation reduces the shear strength of a dry zeolite column by a maximum of 10%. Falling head permeability tests indicate decreasing permeability values with increasing the vertical effective stress. Regarding self-loading and inundation, the porosity along the zeolite column was calculated using a proposed 1D numerical model to predict the permeability with depth considering the laboratory tests. The calculated discharge efficiency was significantly decreased with depth and less than 2% relative to the top for barrier depths deeper than 20 m. Finally, the importance of directional dependence in the permeability of the zeolite medium for calibrating 2D finite element flow analysis was highlighted by bench-scale tests performed under 2D flow conditions.

The purpose of this research is to assess potential area of mountainous wetland by GIS and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). Mountainous wetland is topographically located at high altitude, so it's difficult to approach for researchers. And, it's difficult to investigate systematically because of the insufficient information of mountainous wetland. Therefore, it's necessary to study on potential area of mountainous wetland for systematic and efficient investigation. This research selected slope, wetting index, land-cover map and soil map as assessment items indicating environmental characteristics of mountainous wetland and established them by GIS DB. And, spatial value of mountainous wetland for each assessment item was drawn by existing investigation data and overlap analysis of mountainous wetland. Based on the numerical results of each assessment item, a survey was conducted and relative importance for each assessment item was decided by AHP. As the result, slope was the highest as 0.550 and ground coverage was the lowest as 0.083. The subject of this research was Yangsan-si and Ulsan of Gyeongnam and an analysis was conducted for mountainous wetland in those research areas.

This study examines the behaviour of single micropiles subjected to axial tension or compression load in collapsible loess under in-situ moisture content and saturated condition. Five tension loading tests and five compression loading tests on single micropiles were carried out at a typical loess site of the Loess Plateau in Northwest China. A series of laboratory tests, including grain size distribution, specific gravity, moisture content, Atterberg limits, density, granular components, shear strength, and collapse index, were carried out during the micropile loading tests to determine the values of soil parameters. The loess at the test site poses a severe collapse risk upon wetting. The tension or compression load-displacement curves of the micropiles in loess, under in-situ moisture content or saturated condition, can generally be simplified into three distinct regions: an initial linear, a curvilinear transition, and a final linear region, and the bearing capacity or failure load can be interpreted by the L1-L2 method as done in other studies. Micropiles in loess should be considered as frictional pile foundations though the tip resistances are about 10%-15% of the applied loads. Both the tension and compression capacities increase linearly with the ratio of the pile length to the shaft diameter, L/d. For micropiles in loess under in-situ moisture content, the interpreted failure loads or capacities under tension are 66%-87% of those under compression. However, the prewetting of the loess can lead to the reductions of 50% in the tensile bearing capacity and 70% in the compressive bearing capacity.

Xanthan gum and starch compound biopolymer (XS), an environmentally friendly soil-binding material produced from natural resources, has been suggested as a slope protection material to enhance soil strength and erosion resistance. Insufficient wet strength and the consequent durability concerns remain, despite XS biopolymer-soil treatment showing high strength and erosion resistance in the dried state, even with a small dosage of soil mass. These concerns need to be solved to improve the field applicability and post-stability of this treatment. This study explored the utilization of an alkaline-based cation crosslinking method using calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide to induce non-thermal gelation, resulting in the enhancement of the wet strength and durability of biopolymer-treated soil. Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the unconfined compressive strength and cyclic wetting-drying durability performance of the treated soil using a selected recipe based on a preliminary gel formation test. The results demonstrated that the uniformity of the gel structure and gelling time varied depending on the ratio of crosslinkers to biopolymer; consequently, the strength of the soil was affected. Subsequently, site soil treated with the recipe, which showed the best performance in indoor assessment, was implemented on the field slope at the bridge abutment via compaction and pressurized spraying methods to assess feasibility in field implementation. Moreover, the variation in surface soil hardness was monitored periodically for one year. Both slopes implemented by the two construction methods showed sufficient stability against detachment and scouring, with a higher soil hardness index than the natural slope for a year.

최근 소량의 시멘트를 혼합한 고결토가 도로 보조기층, 뒤채움재, 가물막이 댐 등 각종 토목 현장에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 이와 같이 시멘트비가 낮은 고결토는 반복되는 건습이나 다양한 풍화작용에 의해 내구성이 저하될 수 있다. 하지만 암석과 달리 고결토의 내구성을 평가하는 방법에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 슬레이크 내구성시험과 초음파 세척기를 이용하여 시멘트가 혼합된 고결토의 내구성을 평가하기 위한 시험법을 개발하고자 하였다. 고결모래의 시멘트비(4, 6, 8, 12%)를 달리하여 원기둥 형태의 공시체를 제작한 다음 수중 또는 대기중에서 3일 동안 양생하였다. 3일 양생 후 건조로에서 1일 동안 건조시킨 다음 다시 1일 동안 수침 시킨 후 슬레이크 내구성시험 및 초음파 세척기를 10분 또는 20분 동안 작동하여 시험 전후의 중량 손실 정도를 계산하여 내구성을 평가하였다. 시멘트비가 4%로 상당히 낮은 경우 고결모래의 중량 손실률은 7-25%인 초음파 세척기 시험법에 비해 슬레이크 내구성시험은 30-60%로 상대적으로 높았으나, 시멘트비가 8% 이상인 경우에는 두 시험방법 모두 중량 손실률이 10% 이내로 큰 차이가 없었다. 내구성지수는 시멘트비가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 대기중 양생한 공시체보다 수중 양생한 공시체의 내구성지수가 높았다. 시멘트비가 낮은 고결토의 내구성을 평가하기에는 중량 손실이 많은 슬레이크 내구성시험보다 본 연구에서 새롭게 제안한 초음파 세척기를 이용한 시험법이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

토양유실(土壤流失)을 지배(支配)하는 토양특성(土壤特性)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 사양토(砂壤土)와 미사질양토(微砂質壤土)에 친수성(親水性)인 Uresol과 소수성(疎水性)인 Bitumen을 처리(處理)하여 토양입단(土壤粒團)의 특성(特性)을 달리한 후, 인공강우하(人工降雨下)에서 토양유실량(土壤流失量)을 조사(調査)하였다. 강우시작후(降雨始作後) 초기(初期) 유거(流去)가 일어나는 시간(時間)은 소수성(疎水性)인 Bitumen처리(處理)에 의하여 빨라졌으며 친수성(親水性)인 Uresol처리(處理)에 의하여는 현저히 늦어졌다. Bitumen처리(處理)에 의(依)하여 유출량(流出量)은 증가되고 유출비(流出比)는 감소(減少)되었으나 Uresol처리(處理)는 유출량(流出量)과 유출비(流出比) 모두 감소(減少)시켰다. 토양유실(土壤流失)은 Uresol처리(處理)에 의(依)하여 1.7~23.6%로 크게 감소(減少)되었으며, Bitumen처리(處理)는 미사질양토(微砂質壤土)에서는 55.5%로 낮아졌으나 사양토(砂壤土)에서는 무처리(無處理) 보다 오히려 증가되었다. 토양구조(土壤構造)가 안정(安定)할수록 토양유실(土壤流失)이 크게 억제(抑制)되어 낮은 유실량(流失量)/유출양비(流出量比)를 나타내었으며 습윤각(濕潤角)-안정지수(安定指數)는 토양유실(土壤流失)과 대수함수적(對數函數的)인 상관(相關) ($r=-0.935^{**}$)이 있었다.
