VOL. 13, No.2 (26. 12) pp 논문 토양의세립분함량과염분농도가 TDR 측정값에미치는영향고찰 A Consideration on the Effect of the Fine Content and Salinity of Soils on the TDR Measurement 이행우 * 유찬 * 이근후 ** 박광수 **** Lee, Haeng Woo Yu, Chan Lee, Keun-Hoo Park, Kwang Soo Abstract Experimental laboratory tests were carried out to assess the effect of fine content and salinity of soils on the measurement of TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry). In the test, using soil column which was made by PVC pipe with the dimension of 25cm height and 2cm diameter, the salinity variation of soil was controlled by the solution which was dissolved NaCl to destilled water in the range of ~4g L -1. The fine content of soil was controlled by kaolinite which was mixed with Jumunjin sand in the range of ~5% to the total dry weight. The water contents of soil tested were measured with the conventional oven dry method beside TDR and compared the these values to figure out the extent of effect. As the results of tests, it was appeared that the water content measurement by TDR can be affected by the salinity level, fine contents, and the degree of saturation of the soil.
