For the performance and safety assessments of deep geological disposal, developing scenarios, which represent possible long-term changes in the surface environment, is required. These scenarios are formulated using a list of FEPs (Features, Events, and Processes) that describes characteristics of disposal system components. In this study, using international FEP (IFEP) list from OECD/NEA, the individual FEPs related to uplift-subsidence and erosion-deposition were analyzed, and the correlation between each FEP was evaluated. From the IFEP list, the elements related to uplift-subsidence and erosion-deposition processes that cause long-term changes in the surface environment were identified. Uplift-subsidence, erosion - deposition, and the long-term change factors caused by them were analyzed and a correlation diagram was produced according to their interactions. Basis for the integrated analysis of long-term changes in the surface environment and the construction of long-term change scenarios were established considering the evaluation of the factors that cause uplift-subsidence and erosiondeposition, and their correlation with the hydrology-hydrogeology, topography and local climate of the affected surface. The results of this study will be used for systematically formulating scenarios of long-term changes in the surface environment due to uplift-subsidence and erosion-deposition based on natural phenomena. And, it may be necessary to modify and supplement the correlation of domestic FEPs based on the correlation diagram of IFEPs in order to analyze long-term changes in the surface environment in an integrated manner.

Performance and safety assessments for deep geological disposal are often conducted over a longterm time scale, such as from hundreds of thousands to a million years. During this period, it is expected that the surface environment will be changed significantly. Uplift-subsidence and erosion-deposition are thought to be included as the main causes of the changes, and it is necessary to evaluate their expected effects. In this study, the conceptual processes of the changes in the surface environment components were to be presented by identifying the uplift-subsidence and erosion-deposition processes and analyzing their effect on the surface environment components. For inferring the long-term change process of the surface environment due to the internal activities of the Earth, the process of uplift and subsidence caused by crustal movements that change the subsurface environment through the deep and sallow underground was briefly presented in the form of a chain flowchart. Uplift-subsidence is mainly caused by diastrophism due to tectonic movement, such as subduction at the boundary of plates. They can change the geomorphology by affecting sealevel change and erosion-deposition. The changed geographical features have an influence on the distribution of surface water and the flow path of groundwater. They also have an impact on the scale and processes of local uplift and erosion, which can be the main factors of pedogenesis and vegetation in the local site. The results of this study can be helpful for formulating scenarios related to long-term evolution in the surface environment required for performance and safety assessments of deep geological disposal.

상⋅하수도 관로 시설은 대표적인 국가기반 시설물로서 국민생활에 있어서 매우 중요한 라이프 라인이다. 지진으로 인한 관로시설의 손상은 급수의 차단을 유발하여 심각한 피해를 초래할 가능성이 매우 크다. 그러므로 상⋅하수도 관로 시설은 지진으로부터 반듯이 안전하게 보호되어야 할 필요가 있다. 지진 및 지반침하로 인한 설계변위를 초과하는 상대변위는 구조물과 연결되는 배관의 이음부에서 손상을 발생시킨다. 벨로우즈형 신축이음관은 온도차에 의한 배관의 팽창 및 변형을 흡수하고 기계진동에 의한 배관의 손상을 막기 위한 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 매설된 상⋅하수도 관로를 보호하고자 지진변위와 지반침하 대응을 목적으로 벨로우즈를 적용하였다. 적층형 하이드로포밍 메탈 벨로우즈는 기존의 벨로우즈와 달리 지진과 같은 저주 기피로하중에 대한 내구성이 우수하다. 따라서 3ply 벨로우즈형 신축이음관을 대상으로 반복가력 굽힘시험을 수행하고 지진안전성과 내침하성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 3ply 벨로우즈형 신축이음관은 8.8°이상의 횡방향 변형각에 대응할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

PURPOSES: This study proposes a cohesive shrinkage particle model that can be used to simulate a variety of dynamic behaviors and phase changes of construction materials, including road subsidence and debris flow, and phase change curing, via discrete element method (DEM). METHODS : From the perspective of DEM modeling, the water-content-dependent characteristics of soil particles and related modeling techniques are reviewed from literature. The static friction, cohesion, and particle size change are considered as the major parameters that should be reflected in DEM modeling for a more realistic simulation. The relationships of water content with cohesive force and particle radius, as determined from experimental test results in the relevant study, are utilized to develop the cohesive shrinkage model. For each water content value, the snapshot in simulation is compared to that in the experimental study. RESULTS: The numerical simulation shows very good agreement with the experimental test in terms of overall sample radius and thickness change due to drying. However, the local curling of soil sample in the DEM simulation does not perfectly match that in the experimental test. CONCLUSIONS : The cohesive shrinking particle model seems to be good enough for simulating the volumetric and phase changes of soil samples due to drying. However, it seems necessary to consider both bonding and cohesive contact models in DEM modeling because the only cohesive contact model exhibited limitations in the simulation of curling and crack development.

PURPOSES : In this study, a numerical analysis method and the shear strength model of unsaturated soil were applied to understand the governing factors that affect the development and progress of road subsidence at various water content levels. METHODS: Laboratory testing methods, the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), relationship between internal friction and interparticle friction, and different numerical analysis methods used to characterize or simulate road subsidence processes were evaluated from the literature review. A contact model, and a range of interparticle static friction coefficients and cohesion energy densities to simulate the captivity initiation and progress in the discrete element method (DEM) were selected and suggested, respectively. By using the proposed contact model and values, a set of parametric studies were performed to clearly understand the progress of subsidence at various water content levels and the shear strength characteristics of soil. RESULTS : When the interparticle friction and cohesion energy density are very low, the ground particles flow like an inviscid fluid. The sequential expansion of the cavity is governed by the tangential strength of the soil around the cavity, especially when the interparticle friction and cohesion energy density are high enough. Furthermore, the difference between the quantum of flow at the outlet and the quantum of detaching particles around the cavity determines the progress and the size of the cavity. CONCLUSIONS : The parametric study using the discrete element method clearly showed the effect of the interparticle friction and cohesion energy density on the progress and subsidence of the cavity. The resizing of particles depending on the water content appears to be a reasonable consideration to create a more realistic simulation with the DEM.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate road subsidence based on model chamber tests. METHODS : A theoretical review of road subsidence mechanisms was carried out, and a series of soil chamber tests with initial cavities were conducted under various conditions. Road subsidence risk was analyzed based on these results. RESULTS: The cavity collapse risk was affected by multiple factors, including cavity location, traffic loading, and asphalt layer thickness. The Nf number of loading required to reach cavity collapse increased as the cavity width increased, cavity depth decreased, and asphalt layer thickness increased. CONCLUSIONS: The effects of asphalt thickness on the risk of road subsidence was assessed to have an additional 1.5-fold effect on the subgrade thickness. This study proposed an effective cavity depth (Deff), considering the strength of the asphalt layer. Based on the results of the model chamber test, a four-class road subsidence risk model was proposed with effective cavity depths and widths. It was found that the risk of road subsidence increased as the cavity width increased and the effective cavity depth decreased. This trend is also well matched to the road subsidence risk models of Japan and Seoul.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to identify the mechanism of road subsidence caused by damaged water and sewer pipes. METHODS: A series of soil chamber test using damaged water and sewer pipe models were conducted under various conditions. RESULTS : Characteristics of cavity expansion and collapse caused by damaged pipes were affected by the damaged location in the sewer pipe, the head on the water pipe, the distance between the damaged water pipe and outlet, and relative soil density. CONCLUSIONS: Sewer-pipe damage was considered a direct cause of road subsidence, and the cavity expanded discontinuously. When the outlet was located under the damaged water pipe, the cavity expanded in the water pipe’s direction, and collapse occurred above the pipe. However, when the outlet was located atop the damaged water pipe, the cavity expanded toward the outlet direction and resulted in a subsidence. Cavity expansion speed was affected by various conditions, such as the pipe’s water head, outlet position, distance between the damaged water pipe and outlet, and relative soil density. However, the cavity expansion shape did not affect factors, except for outlet position.

PURPOSES: This paper develops a new stochastic approach to analyze the pavement-vehicle interaction model with a certain roughness and elasticity for the pavement foundation, thereby accommodating the deflection of the pavement, and to identify the road subsidence zone represented with a sudden changes in the elasticity of the foundation. METHODS: In the proposed model, a quarter-car model was combined with a filtered white noise model of road roughness and a two-layer foundation (Euler-Bernoulli beam for the top surface and Winkler foundation to represent the sub-structure soil). An augmented state-space model for the subsystems was formulated. Then, because the input is White noise and the system is represented as a single system, the Lyapunov equation governing the covariance of the system’s response was solved to obtain a structurally weak zone index (WZI). RESULTS: The results showed that the WZI from the pavement-vehicle interaction model is sensitive enough to identify road subsidence. In particular, the WZI rapidly changed with a small change in foundation elasticity, indicating that the model has the potential to detect road subsidence in the early stage. CONCLUSIONS: Beacause of the simplicity of the calculation, the proposed approach has potential applications in managing road conditions while a vehicle travels along the road and detecting road subsidence using a device with an on-board computational capability, such as a smart phone.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to identify the road-subsidence mechanism in unsaturated sandy soils. METHODS: A series of soil chamber tests were conducted under various conditions. RESULTS: The cavity-expansion characteristics in unsaturated sandy soils due to seepage were affected by the outlet size, seepage intensity, relative density, and fine content. CONCLUSIONS: In unsaturated sandy soils, the cavity-expansion speed was affected by the outlet size, relative density, seepage intensity, and clay content; however, the cavity-expansion shape was very similar. As the outlet size and seepage intensity increased, the cavityexpansion speed increased. As the relative density increased, the cavity-expansion speed increased because of a sudden decrease in shear strength, resulting from the increased saturation (reduction of matric suction). The cavity expanded faster with the increasing clay content, up to a certain threshold. It expanded at a slower rate once it passed the threshold. Finally, it reached a stable state where the cavity did not expand due to seepage.

In recent years, urban areas occurred several times a sinkhole. In Korea, this limestone area where the sink hole sink holes occur based on not much was seen as a very rare phenomenon. However, the occurrence of accidents in recent Subsidence and urban areas is occurring in the limestone sinkhole may yet see another one called artificial Subsidence phenomenon. Subsidence in urban areas can have various causes, such as depression groundwater level changes due to the influence of soil, underground, etc. underground utilities by anthropogenic actions. But a lot of research on natural sinkhole by geological experts continued steadily since the past Subsidence that occurred in recent years the city has become an urgent problem to formulate a countermeasure to be very concerned about the human and material damage. In this study, the city by analyzing existing research on the causes and countermeasures of Subsidence recently released look at the announced sinkhole, published statistics and cases of Subsidence data, and overseas corresponding practices in each relevant agencies and to suggest measures for local Subsidence.

인도네시아 자카르타의 판타이무티아라 지역은 연간 20~25cm씩 지반침하가 발생하고 있다. 이 지역은 매립지로서 기초지반공사를 시공할 때 지반안정화 공사의 미비로 인하여 지반침하 현상이 발생하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 지반침하를 예방하는데 소요되는 비용과 지반침하를 예방함으로써 얻을 수 있는 편익을 계산하여 보고자 한다. 또한 계산된 비용과 편익의 비율을 토대로 조사지역을 보존할 가치가 있는지에 대하여 논의하고자 하였다.

Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia which has problems of land subsidence with the rates of about 1 to 15 cm/year, up to 20-25 cm/year. The study has examined the land subsidence in Pantai Mutiara, Jakarta Bay which is a reclaimed area by using the Terrestrial LIDAR survey technique. The Terrestrial LIDAR survey results show that the survey site has mean elevation of 0.24 m with the highest elevation of 0.93 m and lowest - 0.35 m. Considering that AHHW (approximate highest high water) is 0.51 m, many areas of the survey site are lying below the AHHW. Pantai Mutiara area is showing various subsidence rates depending on sites although the site is relatively narrow and small (about 1 km2). There is elevation differences of almost 1m within the site. In this study, key information including topography, dike height distribution, and future coastal flooding risk of the survey area was able to be provided by Terrestrial LIDAR survey conducted only once. Especially, as the 3D precision topography effectively conveys important messages relating to vulnerability of the site, policy makers and stakeholders can easily understand the situation of the site.

This study presents the development of an elevated subsidence inversion over a surface low pressure system, which was formed along the Changma front or Meiu-Baiu front. The results of our analysis strongly suggest that the inversion is dissimilar to those formed in anticyclonic situations but is instead similar to the onion-shaped sounding found in wake low. The present analysis indicates that the observed elevated inversion resulted from the intrusion of stratospheric air associated with tropopause folding.
