PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to present a cross section suitable for low-traffic road pavement considering the environmental characteristics of Vietnam. METHODS : The behavior of the pavement with respect to the axial load was numerically analyzed using the nonlinear finite element method. The elastic-plastic material model was applied to material properties such as subgrade, sub-base layer, and base layer, and whether the material yielded was determined. In order to evaluate the adequacy of the cross section of the Vietnamese low-traffic pavement, it was compared with the KPRP Lv 3 road pavement section. And it was compared with the newly proposed MAST composite Pavement. The design life of each pavement section was calculated using the results obtained from the pavement structural analysis. RESULTS : The cross section of the Vietnamese low-traffic road pavement, KPRP lv3, MAST composite Type1 road pavement did not satisfy the design criteria for fatigue cracking and rutting. MAST composite Type2 was analyzed considering CTAB having 100mm and 150mm thickness and compressive strength of 5MPa, 10MPa, 15MPa and 20MPa, and all of them satisfied the design criteria. CONCLUSIONS : The low-traffic road pavement section in Vietnam currently used is judged to be inappropriate, and the MAST Composite type 2 proposed in this study is evaluated as an appropriate alternative. Further studies such as field application are needed in the future.

An investigation was conducted on the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus etunicatum on the formation of soil aggregate and mycorhizal development in the roots of Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings in coal mine tailings and forest soil. G. etunicatum formed mycorrhizas by 35.1 % in coal mine tailings and by 48.9 % in forest soil. Its infection was the typical Arum-type forming inter-cellular hyphae and intra-cellular arbuscules. Ergosterol contents were 3.20 ppm in forest soil and 1.92 ppm in coal mine tailings. The formation of soil aggregate per 50 g pot soil was 19.6 g and 9.5 g in inoculated and noninoculated forest soil and 16.5 g and 11.0 g in inoculated and non-inoculated coal min tailings, respectively. In conclusion, G. etunicatum inoculation increased the formation of soil aggregate both in forest soil and coal mine tailings, but was less effective in the latter.

본 연구에서는 선별파쇄 골재 등 부순 골재에 포함된 토분함유량 규정치를 정하는 연구의 일환으로써 골재 토분이 모르타르의 기초적 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 토분함유량이 증가할수록 유동성과 휨강도는 감소하고, 공기량은 증가하며 압축강도는 1 % 전후에서 증가하는 경향도 나타났으나 전반적으로 감소하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of no-tillage on sequential cropping supported from recycling of first crop ridge on the productivity of crop and physical properties of soil under green house condition. This study is a part of “No-tillage agriculture of Korea-type on recycled ridge”. From results for distribution of soil particle size with time process after tillage, soil particles were composed with granular structure in both tillage and no-tillage. No-tillage soil in distribution of above 2 mm soil particle increased at top soil and subsoil compared with tillage soil. Tillage and one year of no-tillage soil were not a significant difference at above 0.25 mm~below 0.5 mm, above 0.5 mm~below 1.0 mm, and above 1.0 mm of water-stable aggregate. Two years of no-tillage soil was significantly increased by 8.2%, 4.5%, and 1.7% at above 0.25 mm~below 0.5 mm, above 0.5 mm~below 1.0 mm, and above 1.0 mm of water-stable aggregate, respectively, compared with one year of no-tillage. Bulk density of top soil was 1.10 MG m3 at tillage and 1.30 MG m3 at one year of no-tillage. Bulk density of top soil was 1.14 MG m3 at two years and 1.03 MG m3 at three years of no-tillage, respectively. Bulk density of subsoil was a similar tendency. Solid phase ratio in top soil and subsoil was increased at one year of no-tillage compared with tillage soil, while soil phase ratio decreased at two and three years of no-tillage. Pore space ratio in tillage top soil (58.5%) was decreased by 8.5% at compared with no-tillage soil (51.0%). Pore space ratio was 56.9% and 61.2% at two and three years of no-tillage soil, respectively. Subsoil was a similar tendency. Gaseous phase ratio was decreased at one year of no-tillage soil, and increased at two and three years of no-tillage soil compared with tillage soil. Liquid phase ratio in top soil was increased at one year of no-tillage (28.3%), and decreased at two years (23.4%) and at three years (18.3 %) of no-tillage soil compared with tillage soil (24.2%). Subsoil was a similar tendency. Liquid phase ratio in subsoil was increased than top soil.

본 연구에서는 경량기포 콘크리트를 이용한 육성용 토양골재의 적용성을 평가하기 위해서 고로슬래그 기반 기포콘크리트의 총 8 배합과 인공토양골재를 제조하였다. 고로슬래그 기반 기포콘크리트 배합의 주요변수는 단위결합재량으로서 100에서 800 kg/m3으로 변화하 였다. 경량기포콘크리트는 플로우, 슬러리 및 절건 밀도와 재령별 압축강도를 측정하였으며, 파쇄된 인공토양골재는 pH, 입도분포, 투수계수, 양이온치환용량(CEC), 유기물함유량(C/N비)을 측정하였다. 측정결과 경량기포콘크리트의 플로우, 슬러리 및 절건밀도와 재령별 압축강도는 단위결합재량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 경량기포콘크리트의 단위결합재량이 500 kg/m3 이상인 배합의 28일 압축강도는 4 MPa 이상이었 다. 인공토양골재에 3일 이상의 15% 희석된 제1인산암모늄의 수용액침지는 pH를 저감시키는데 효과적이었다. 또한 제조된 인공토양골재는 양이온 치환용량(CEC) 측면에서 상급으로 평가되었지만 C/N비 측면에서는 조경시방서를 만족시키지 못하였다.

A aggregate size distribution of soils is an important in successful crop production in reclaimed tidelands. The aggregate size distribution for this study were determined of 0.1mm, 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 2.0mm by wet sieving method. Agricultural activity, period of reclamation showed significant effects on aggregate size distribution in reclaimed tidelands. Aggregate MWD was greater in SS and KH(above 1.0m) than in YSG, GHD, SMG, and DH(below 0.5mm) reclaimed tidelands and tidelands. The percentage of aggregates less than < 2mm for SMG, GHD, and SM reclaimed tidelands and tidelands were ranged 8.9%, 36.7%, and 38.0%, respectively. The percentage of > 0.1mm aggregates for SMG, GHD, and SM reclaimed tidelands were ranged 9.0%, 26.0%, and 48.9%, respectively. Results indicated that aggregate size distribution of reclaimed tidelands and tidelands under various agricultural systems vary with reclamation period and soil type.
