The following lessons have been learned from the application of reliability methods in the practice of geotechnical engineering: 1. Establishing Goals Is Important; 2. Mitigating Consequences Can Be Effective; 3. Performance Depends on Systems; 4. Physical Factors Are Important in Statistical Models; 5. Too Much and Too Little Conservatism Are Both Problems; 6. Value of Information Depends on Decision Making; and 7. Effective Communication Is Essential. While the potential for application of reliability methods in the future is unlimited, there are major needs related to each of these lessons that will have to be addressed in order to realize this potential.

강원도 홍천일대의 지역은 경기육괴의 편마암이 주암종으로 이루어진 지역으로 대규모의 홍천단층이 지나고 있다. 과거 이 단층대 부근에서 건설된 도로건설시에 발생된 많은 절토사면의 붕괴를 통해 그 원인 파악 및 차후 고려해야 할 사항을 파악하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제 중에 하나이다. 본 논문은 붕괴를 토대로 붕괴의 원인 및 대책방안을 파악하고자 한다. 홍천일대의 사면붕괴를 유발시키는 원인으로는 크게 두 가지 지질구조적인 요인을 들 수 있는데 하나는 사면방향으로 발달하는 편마암내에 발달하는 엽리면을 따라 붕괴가 발생되는 사례가 있고 둘째는 단층파쇄대 및 단층대를 따라 붕괴가 발생되는 원인으로 대별할 수 있다. 두 번째의 요인은 비교적 규모가 큰 사면붕괴를 유발하게 되고 막대한 복구비용이 수반되는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 단층의 수반에 의해 발생되는 절토사면은 대책방안으로 사면경사완화 방안, 앵커 및 억지말뚝과 같은 보강방법에 의해 안정화를 시키는 사례가 주를 이루었으며 차후 이 일대의 건설공사시에는 단층대의 방향 및 규모에 대한 조사를 세밀히 이루어져야 할 것이다.

There are many kinds of braced cut wall methods as the sheet pile, SCW, CIP and slurry wall which is adoptable for a deep excavation construction in a coastal filled land. The braced cut wall which has a strong stiffness is very stable but it has the weak point that the construction cost is high. Thus when a braced cut wall is designed, the geotechnical engineers choose the braced cut wall which has more safe and economic in the consideration of surrounding buildings near the construction site. Especially, when the sheet pile method as a braced cut wall is cheesed, the layer order and consistence of a coastal deposit stratum are considered and the pile driving method is also considered. This paper introduces the case that the originally box-type sheet pile wall was changed to U-type and high strength material after the pilot test at the subway construction site in a coastal filled land. This paper also introduces the case that the sheet pile's driving method was changed to special method in the section of the temporary coffer dam which had made when the present coastal filled land was formed.

As construction for road tunnel is increasing, various geotechnical conditions can be faced during the construction stage. Especially, if the tunnel is located in limestone area, many kinds of site investigations such as in-situ boring, electrical resistance survey, TSP(Tunnel Seismic Prediction) and etc., are conducted before and during the construction. By conducting these preliminary tests, location, size, and filling materials in limestone cavities can be approximately estimated. Once some cavities which can be harmful for tunnel safety are predicted, methods for ground reinforcement and tunnel excavation, corresponding those ground conditions, have to be established and verified by measurement data and numerical analysis. If necessary, invert lining should be also considered. In this paper, by studying some cases of tunnels constructed in limestone area, predicted problems during construction and rational countermeasures for those are presented.

Tunnel type spillway is rarely constructed in worldwide, and designed secondary in Korea. In this paper we pronounce a case study of tunnel type spillway design. We firstly considered lining concrete abrasiveness and cavitations for tunnel safety. This paper describes the design of tunnel type spillway section, excavation method, blasting, support and concrete lining.

The recent unpredictable weather condition, especially abnormal heavy precipitation which is on the verge of PMF, made implement more rigorous design standard. Following these trends, the idea of additional auxiliary spillway, most of them are tunnel around existing one, is adopted to many sites. Tunnel spillway, having free water table is generally consisted of several compartments such as inlet, transition, inclined, curved and stilling parts. It may has some technical problems to be considered. Among them, the surface deterioration due to cavitation is reported many times in the part of irregularities on lining. Including this kind of problem, several technical considerations for tunnel spillway will be handled in this paper during design procedure.

The pumped-storage power system is the one of the hydroelectric power systems, generating electricity with hydraulic head difference. In this system, the electricity is produced during the hours of peak demand by using water that has been pumped into an upper reservoir from a lower reservoir during the hours of low demand. Generally, the system consists of an under-ground power house and tunnels such as the headrace, pressure, and tailrace tunnels. The Chungsong pumped-storage power station is the sixth one In the pumped-storage power station in Korea. Both the regional self-government and the population of chungsong -Goon had made a great effort to draw this power station construction into this area. The proposed Chungsong pumped-power station construction project was accepted by the central government as a part of the national electricity plan for the first time in Korea.

The flood control ability improvement project on existing dams is the project for prevention of disasters from excessive flood due to climate changes and thus protects lives and property damages by increasing safety of dams. The collapse of dam brings unimaginable disasters, so the project needs to be swiftly conducted by Government's funding. This paper introduces tile examples of the flood control ability improvement projects of multi-purpose and water supply dams, which is conducted in the way of structural measures among 26 dams operated by Kwater.

Most of rock slopes contain a lot of discontinuities which have a specific direction and various characteristics. In general, the collapses of the rock slopes occur when the sliding dip of the discontinuity is higher than the internal friction angle and also smaller than the free-air plane of the slope. If a general slope theory is only considered in the case of field exploration of the slopes, there is a possibility that dangerous slopes might be estimated as stable slopes. We mention problems that can easily fail to notice something in field exploration and propose the alternatives to solve the problems through the case studies.

Owing to a landslide or embankment damage be caused by a localized torrential downpour and heavy snowfall resulted from recent abnormal climate, a slope stability is very important. This study is investigate a general slope reinforcement method and applicability improvement of soil nailing method utilized prototype loading test for the facing stiffness effect confirmation. A prototype loading test supplements general slope stability study by numerical analysis or laboratory test with a resonable analysis of slope structure.

After heavy rainfall, It was occurred massive plane failure along bedding plane of shale in the center of rock slope. It was observed filling material and trace of underground water leakage around of the slope. We tried to find the cause for slope failure, and the result of examination showed that primary factors of the failure were low shear strength of clay filling material and water pressure farmed within tension crack existed in the top of the slope. In this research, in order to examine the features of shear strength of filled rock joint, shear test of filled rock joint was conducted using of artificial filling material such as sand and clay. Also we made an investigation into the characteristics of shear strength with different thickness of filling materials.

Slope failures can be occurred by complex mechanism. In this cases, failures shows characteristics of complex failure mechanism during progressive mass movements. A case is a merged large slide with two sliding events triggered by slip on fault plane. Another case shows extension of failure area by sliding or subsidence at backyards of toppling areas. Generally, areas of progressive failures have wider than them of simple events.

암반내 존재하는 불연속면은 암반거동에 중대한 영향을 미치게 되며, 특히 불연속면내에 충전물이 협재되어 있는 경우에는 암반구조물의 안정성에 보다 심각한 문제를 가져오는 경우가 많다. 이는 불연속면의 거동과 충전물의 거동이 복합적으로 작용하게 되며, 장기적인 시간을 두고 나타나기 때문이다. 본 검토에서는 충전된 불연속면의 특성을 분석하고, 점토나 흑연이 협재되어 문제가 되었던 현장 사례분석을 통하여 충전된 불연속면이 암반사면이나 터널과 같은 암반구조물에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이를 통하여 충전물의 열화에 의한 장기적이고 잠재적인 거동을 수반할 수 있는 충전된 불연속면의 공학적 문제점을 고찰하였다.

The acceleration of consolidation by stone columns was mostly analysed within the framework of a basic unit cell model (i.e. a cylindrical soil body around a column). A method of converting the axisymmetric unit cell into the equivalent plane-strain model would be required for two-dimensional numerical modelling of multi-column field applications. This paper proposes two practical simplified conversion methods to obtain the equivalent plane-strain model of the unit cell, and investigates their applicability to multi-column reinforced ground. In the first conversion method, the soil permeability is matched according to an analytical equation, whereas in the second method, the column width is matched based on the equivalence of column area. The validity of these methods is tested by comparison with the numerical results of unit-cell simulations and with the field data from an embankment case history. The results show that for the case of linear-elastic material modelling, both methods produce reasonably accurate long-term consolidation settlements, whereas for the case of elasto-plastic material modelling, the second method is preferable as the first one gives erroneously lower long-term settlements, where plastic yielding of stone column are ignored.

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the excess porewater pressure distribution due to piezocone penetration in overconsolidated clays. From piezocone test results for moderately and heavily overconsolidated clays, it was observed that the excess porewater pressure increases monotonically from the piezocone surface to the outer boundary of the shear zone and then decreases logarithmically to the outer boundary of the plastic zone. It was also found that the size of the shear zone decreases from approximately 2.2 to 1.5 times the cone radius with increasing OCR, while the plastic radius is about 11 times the piezocone radius, regardless of the OCR. The equation developed in this study based on the modified Cam clay model and the cylindrical cavity expansion theory, which take into consideration the effects of the strain rate and stress anisotropy, provide a good prediction of the initial porewater pressure at the piezocone location. The method of predicting the spatial distribution of excess porewater pressure proposed in this study is based on a linearly increasing ${\Delta}u_{shear}$. In the shear zone and a logarithmically decreasing ${\Delta}u_{oct}$, and is verified by comparing with the excess porewater pressure measured in overconsolidated specimens at the calibration chamber.

In Hong Kong, large-diameter (${\ge}600mm$) bored piles and large-section excavated rectangular barrettes are commonly used to support tall buildings to resist both vertical and horizontal loads. These piles and barrettes penetrate through and may found in saprolitic soils and decomposed rocks. Generally, the design of these large bored piles and barrettes involves considerable amount of uncertainty and design parameters must usually be verified by field tests. In this paper, over 50 full-scale load tests on large-diameter bored piles and over 15 large-section of rectangular barrettes in Hong Kong are reviewed and interpreted critically, in particular the degree of mobilisation of side shear resistance using a mobilization rating (MR) factor and a displacement index (DI) for floating bored piles and barrettes and rock-socketed piles, respectively. The author was heavily involved with many of these load tests. The diameter of the bored piles tested ranges from 0.6m to 1.8m and the depth varies from 12m to 75m. Sizes of barrettes critically reviewed include $2.2m{\times}0.6m,\;2.2m{\times}0.8m,\;2.8m{\times}0.8m\;and\;2.8m{\times}1.0m$ (on plan) and the depth varies from 36m and 63m. Based on these field tests, a new failure load criterion for large-diameter bored piles and barrettes is developed and proposed. The side shear resistance of the bored piles and barrettes is quantitatively analyzed with respect to local displacements, standard penetration tests, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) for rock sockets and using the effective stress principle. In addition, the effects of construction including post-grouting, construction time, side scraping and excavation tools on side shear resistance are investigated and reported.

In designing rock-socketed drilled shaft, bearing capacity evaluation is very important because the maximum values of base and side resistance are not generally mobilized at the same value of displacement, FHWA and AASHTO code suggest different ultimate bearing capacity formular according to rock type and shaft settlement. In domestic code suggest base resistance and side resistance can be added on condition that after confirming the result of field load test with axial load transfer test. This paper shows that static load test and hi-directional load test result analysis of deep rock-socketed drilled shaft in three different sites. Load-settlement curve, t-z, and q-w curve in rock-socketed part were calculated and compared. t-z curve in weathered and soft rock showed no deflection softening behavior in pretty large strain (about 2-3% of diameter). Ultimate resistance could be the summation of side resistance and base resistance in rock-socketed drilled shaft in domestic sites.

Damage to earth structures for roads, railways and residential areas, as well as dams and river levees, during the 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu earthquake in Japan, and their rehabilitation works are overviewed. Several influential factors are pointed out, such as a) heavy rainfall preceding the earthquake, b) large aftershocks, c) geological conditions for subsoil including existence of liquefiable layers, d) compaction degrees for embankment, and e) drainage capacity from subsoil/embankments. It is also reported that, in the reconstruction works of damaged roads and railways, preferred use of geogrid-reinforced soil retaining walls was implemented.

Stress waves have been used for geophysical and geotechnical applications for more than 50 years. The early-stage applications were simply based on travel-time measurements of stress waves and limited to site characterization. Currently stress-wave techniques are expanded to monitoring processes for grouting of damaged geotechnical structures, compaction of embankment, and deformational analyses for static geotechnical problems. Seismic techniques used to be good enough for rough estimators of engineering properties. Nowadays, the sophisticated modeling theory of stress-wave propagation substantially improved reliability and accuracy of the seismic techniques. In this paper, difficulties involved in currently available seismic techniques are discussed and analyzed. Herein some recently-developed non-intrusive seismic techniques, which make optimal use of stress waves for further improvement of reliability and accuracy, are also presented.

Two dimensional diffusion model test was conducted to investigate the sedimentation properties and consolidation process of reclaimed ground using dredging coarse soil which is composed of passing amount 20 percentage and 45 percentage of #200 sieve size respectively. The passing amount of #200 sieve size affected on sedimentation properties. The coarse soil which is passing amount of 20 percent showed that the sedimentation structure was layered type and passing amount of 45 percentage was wall-partition type according diffusion distance. Furthermore, the water content of surface and section, and distribution of fine soil were changed according to diffusion distance. and the change amount of pore water pressure and strength property when soil is diffused, segregated and accumulated can be applied efficiently in design of dredging and reclamation.

In order to design accurately plastic board drain (PBB) method, it is important to determine the equivalent circle of PBD. In this paper, a series of numerical analyses on soft ground improved by PBD were carried out, in order to investigate the resonable equivalent circle of PBD considering consolidation behavior of improved soft ground by PBD. The applicability of numerical analyses, in which an elasto-viscoplastic three-dimensional consolidation finite element method was applied, could be confirmed comparing with results of a series of model tests on consolidation behaviors of soft ground improved by PBD. And, through the results of the numerical analyses, consolidation behaviors of soft ground during consolidation was elucidated, together with the equivalent circle of PBD considering consolidation behaviors.

Busan-Geoje Fixed Link, total length of 8.2km, consist of bridge and immersed tunnel connects Gaduk island, Busan and Jangmokmyon, Geoje, in extension of the $58^{th}$ local road. The immersed tunnel, a total length of 3.7km within Busan-Geoje Fixed Link, was planed first timein domestic but the deep water depth like maximum of 50m with offshore conditions and the 35m thickness of soft clay layer under the immersed tunnel, migth be some problems like the differential settlement during or after works. So it was designed to install SCP(Sand Compaction Pile) column partially to improve the soft ground under the immersed tunnel. In this paper, it is presented to illustrate the design including ground condition under the immersed tunnel, improvement design, upheaval shape and ratio due to SCP test construction.

Considering the risk management, there are many examples and various studies for the corporation risk. However, I have never seen the project risk management that applied a construction site for practical approach. Therefore, I have developed a chart (I-Chart) for the project risk management, and also built a model (I-Chart scenario analysis) that I could use. I applied this model to container yard reclaimed land in harbor construction with approaching of geotechnical engineering.

Yano method had been used in predicting the settlement of self-weight consolidation of dredged soil in the construction of reclamating the dredged soil. Its estimation was found to show some different results from field measurements. The numerical analysis with PSDDF was peformed find such differences, considering the effect of desiccation on the consolidation during the remaining time after reclamation. For the parametric study, numerical analyses with/without consideration of desiccation were carried out with changing the conditions of desiccation such as the number of placing the fill and the time period between each placement. As results of analysis, estimations about consolidation settlement and distribution of water contents with consideration of desiccation was in good agreements with field measurements. It was also found that the number of placing the fill and the time period between each placement did not affect the behavior of self-weight consolidation as much as the effect of desiccation.

New Songdo city is currently developing on the reclaimed land on a marine deposit and among the development the four sixty-four(64) stories high rise buildings are under construction at block 125. The ground condition of the site is comprised of a deep seated weathered rock staratum under a soft marine deposit layer. As a foundation system, a bored pile was planned to transmit the applied load to the stable layer. In this study, the behavior of the weathered rock especially locating at a upper part having a weak strength(HWR, MWR) has been evaluated through series of hi-directional pile load test(BD PLT) carried out on the 3 drilled shafts socketed in a weathered rock layer in a design stage. It has been planned to increase the effect of the tests that the length of test piles was prepared short enough to perform the test under a high stress. The summary of the design reflecting the test results has been made up. In addition, the 4 hi-directional pile tests excuted on the working piles during the construction stage for the purpose of confirmation and the evaluation of the adequacy of the pile behaviors have been included in this study.

Incheon bridge project is to construct total 12km long bridges on the sea consist of 800m span length cable stayed bridge, approach bridge and viaduct bridge based on LRFD design specification. To design pile foundations by RCD of each bridge unit, total 4 number of preliminary full scale pile load tests with Osterberg cell method were carried out on the piles for testing. The test load was planned to more than the expected design ultimate capacity and about 29,000tons maximum load was recorded. From the interpretation of test results, design parameters are evaluated and applied to the design. Preliminary pile load test plan and detailed execution of pile load tests are introduced and summarized. The resistance factors are presented for pile design of Incheon Bridge Project in LRFD considering variation of ground conditions and number of test piles.

Incheon Bridge which will be the world's 5th long cable-stayed bridge in 2009 has been built under the management by Korea Highway Corporation. Incheon Bridge consists of several special-featured bridges and construction sections are divided into two groups, the private investment section with the foreign concessionaire and the government-financed section. 8 pile load tests were performed to investigate the behavior of rock-embedded large-diameter drilled shafts at both sections. Among these, 4 tests at the government-financed section have been utilized to adjust the detailed designs that were carried out individually as well as to find the actual bearing capacity of the ground prior to the commencement of constructions under the joint control of all contractors. Comprehensive procedures of the design and the construction of foundations using pile load tests were introduced.

Bi-directional loading test data are available to evaluate the design parameters which reflect the characteristics of a construction method and the variations of ground at the site where drilled shafts are installed. The method to obtain the design parameters of a real bridge by hi-directional loading test was introduced. The plans of multi-level testing and installation of measuring instruments should be made according to the rough estimation of axial bearing capacity, the length of pile, and the construction method. While the relationship between end bearing resistance and displacement was obtained directly from the hi-directional loading test, the relationship between unit side resistance and displacement was calculated through the measuring values. 1% displacement of pile diameter was adopted as the criteria of failure for ultimate resistance. As the settlement of pile head at the total ultimate bearing capacity obtained from these method was less than 1.5 % of pile diameter, this method was conservative to use in the field.

Recently, many high rise buildings is planning and under construction over the world. The drilled shafts as a foundation of high rise buildings are often adopted fur the purpose of construction safety and construction cost effectiveness. It is common that the capacity of drilled shafts is beyond conventional conception. The reasonable design and quality assurance for the drilled shaft as foundation of high rise building become much more important since the drilled shafts should bear much higher working load. This paper reviews state of the art of the design and quality assurance for the drilled shafts as foundation of high rise buildings. And also some related suggestions are given in this paper.

매년 발생하는 산사태에 대한 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 일본의 사면 붕괴와 대책방안에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 지난 2006년 7월 강원도 영서지방에 발생한 산사태 피해 현황을 살펴보고 사방기술의 선진국인 일본을 방문, 이에 대한 자료를 수집 분석하였다. 산악지형으로 구성된 지형이 국내와 매우 유사하고 자연재해가 더욱 많은 일본의 선진 사방대책에 대한 기술을 습득하여 국내형의 기술개발과 정책결정에 도움을 얻고자 본 조사를 실시하였다. 본고는 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 국내의 정황과 비교하며 정리한 것이다.

2006년 7월 15일${\sim}$17일 사이의 집중적인 호우는 강원도 지역에 많은 피해를 주었는데, 특히 강원도 인제, 양양, 평창지역에서의 피해로 수십명의 인명피해와 재산피해를 발생시켰다. 최근 들어 발생되는 집중호우로 인한 피해 중 토석류에 의한 피해가 많은 이유 중에는 지구온난화로 인한 100mm에 가까운 시간당 강우량을 보이고 있어 국내 산악지가 형성된 구간에서는 어느 지역이나 토석류가 발생될 가능성을 가지고 있다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 본 논문은 2006년 7월에 발생된 강원도 인제, 양양지역을 중심으로 토석류 피해에 대하여 자료를 수집, 분석하였으며 토석류 발생기구 및 유형에 따른 피해정도와 저감방안에 대한 고찰을 실시하였다. 앞으로 빈번해지는 토석류에 대한 관리체계의 확립 및 보완대책과 토목공사시에 반영될 수 있는 방안 등을 모색해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 2006년 7월 집중호우에 의해 많은 인적.물적 피해가 발생한 강원도 지역의 피해 현장을 조사하였으며, 그 중 성토사면붕괴를 붕괴유형별로 구분하고 발생원인과 특성을 분석하여 그에 따른 적절한 대책방안을 제시하였다. 집중호우에 의한 성토사면의 붕괴유형 중 토석류에 의한 도로횡단 배수구조물의 기능상실로 유수가 노면으로 침출되고 수압이 발생하여 도로가 유실된 유형과 하천선형 불량으로 만곡수충부(물이 직접 부딪히는 부분)에서 유속이 빨라져 세굴에 의한 붕괴가 전체성토붕괴사면의 83%를 차지하였다. 이에 대한 대책방안으로는 토석류를 계곡상부에서 부터 예방할 수 있는 방법으로 사방댐 및 그물망 공법 등이 좋은 대책방안이 될 수 있으며, 토석류에 의한 유송잡물을 모두 통과할 수 있도록 충분히 큰 배수시설을 설치하는 방법도 좋은 대책방안이 될 수 있다. 무엇보다 열대성 국지 폭우를 이제 일상의 한반도 기후현상으로 받아들여 주먹구구식의 일회성 대책방안을 지양하고 바뀐 강우특성과 빈도를 고려하여 계획 홍수위를 재산정하고 그에 따라 하천정비계획을 재검토해야 할 것이다.

최근 들어 집중호우 등으로 인해 빈번해진 비탈면의 붕괴를 억지하기 위하여 비탈면 안정화기술이 급속하게 발전하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 신기술제도의 도입으로 비탈면 안정화를 위한 보강기술의 발전이 두드러지고 있다. 비탈면의 안정화를 위해서는 보강기술의 개발뿐만 아니라, 설계기준이나 설계기술, 유지관리기술, 예측기술 등 다양한 분야의 기술개발이 이루어져야 함에도, 최근 진행되고 있는 연구분야의 노력은 보강기술분야로 치우쳐 있는 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 비탈면의 안정화를 위한 노력은 각 부분에서 균형적으로 비탈면의 안정화를 도모할 수 있는 기술개발 방향이 설정될 필요가 있다. 본고에서는 향후의 비탈면 안정화 기술 개발 방향 설정에 도움이 될 수 있도록 비탈면 안정화기술의 최근 동향을 파악하고, 비탈면의 안정화를 위하여 개선 및 개발되어야 할 필요가 있는 분야를 소개하고자 한다.
