With the need of efficient site use retaining walls have frequently used. Of them dry cast modular block wall(MBW), in which geogrid and concrete block are used is getting popular because of its simplicity and economical efficiency of construction. However, since this method is based on the theory of earth pressure, sands with good quality should be used. In contrast, reinforced soil slope(RSS) that the slope is less than $70^{\circ}$ can use wider range of soil than MBW. A hybrid reinforced geo-structure might be a good alternative in view of overcoming difficulty obtaining soils with good quality as well as maximizing the efficiency of site use. This method is composed of reinforced block wall and reinforced soil slope. In this method, reinforced block wall is constructed up to a certain height vertically at ground boundary first. Reinforced soil slope is then constructed on the block wall subsequently. This paper introduces several technical points that should be taken into account in design and construction.

Frost heaving and thawing settlement cause unexpected stress around buried pipelines, which results in deformation and permanent demage. A large scale laboratory test has been performed to observe deformation, stress, and temperature of a buried pipe during atmospheric temperature changes. From the experimental results, the stress concentrated around the buried pipe is inevitable and deformation is caused by the frost heaving. Even though backfill materials are sandy soils which are normally assumed to be non frost susceptible, it is revealed that frost demage can happen due to drainage condition, the level of ground water table, and water content.

The interaction between the ground and structures should be considered for seismic design of group piles supporting the superstructure. The p-y curve has been used widely for the analysis of nonlinear relationship between the ground and structures, and various researches have conducted to apply the dynamic p-y curve for seismic design of group piles. This curve considers the interaction between the ground and structures under the dynamic load such as an earthquake. However the supported effect by the pile cap and the interaction by inertia behavior of superstructures. Therefore, the shaking table test was conducted to verify the effect of the change of the pile cap in group piles supporting superstructures embedded in sandy soil. The test condition is that the arrangement and distance between centers of piles are fixed and the length of the pile cap is changed for various distances between the pile cap side and the pile center. The result shows that the distance between the pile cap side and the pile center have an effect on the dynamic p-y curve and the effect of group piles.

In this study, 2D shallow tunnel model test using close range photogrammetric technique was conducted with aluminium rods simulating continuum granular material. Numerical analysis was also carried out in order to identify the behaviour of subsurface deformations caused by shallow tunnelling. Direction and magnitude of displacement vectors from the model test were identical to the result of numerical analysis based on the model data. In particular, it is shown that the vector direction was toward a point below the tunnel invert level. A narrow "chimney or tulip like" pattern of vertical displacement was confirmed by both the model test and numerical analysis. This behaviour is consistent with the field data. In addition to the qualitative comparison, the quantitative result of subsurface settlements according to 2D volume loss showed good agreement between the model test and numerical analysis. Therefore, close range photogrammetric technique applied in the model test may be used to validate the result from the continuum numerical analysis.

This paper deals with the bearing capacity behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced stone column(GRSC) constructed in soft ground, as part of an investigation regarding the applicability of GRSC in Korea. In this study, two-dimensional finite element analyses were performed to investigate the effect of relevant design factors on the bearing capacity behaviour. The parametric study is performed for various influencing factors. The results indicated that the geogrid encasement tends to significantly improve the load carrying capacity of a stone column. Also found were that the geogrid encasement length and its stiffness significantly affect the load carrying capacity behaviour of GRSC, and that the encasement length of three times the stone column diameter is sufficient in mobilizing the full reinforcement effect. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

In the companion paper, a constitutive model was proposed in order to represent brittleness and dilatancy for cohesionless soils. An optimized design methodology was proposed on the basis of real-coded genetic algorithm in order to determine parameters fir the proposed model systematically. The material parameters were then determined by that algorithm. In order to verify the proposed model, triaxial tests were peformed under $K_0$ conditions for weathered soils. In addition, the results of istropic compressed triaxial tests for granular materials verified the proposed model. For those results the brittle stress-strain relationship and the dilatancy could be modeled reasonably by the proposed model. As a result it was found that the proposed model can appropriately represent the behavior on weathered soil and granular soil.

The behavior of cement-based permeation grouting is divided into three different groups depending on the grain size distribution of the soils: (1) zone of cement-based permeation grouting not feasible; (2) zone of cement-based permeation grouting feasible; and (3) zone in which an accelerating agent should be added to limit the penetration depth. In the cement-based permeation grouting feasible zone, the concept of a representative pore radius was proposed. The ratios of the representative pore radius to the mean pore radius were obtained by performing laboratory test and comparing with clogging theory; these values were in the range of 1.07 and 1.35 depending on the grain size distribution of the soils. In addition, a functional relationship between the lumped parameter (${\theta}$), the representative pore radius and the w/c ratio were derived by comparing and matching experimental results with predictions from theory. In the zone in which the accelerating agent should be added, the controlling process of gel time to limit the penetration depth was experimentally verified. The test results matched well with those obtained from theory utilizing the developed grout penetration program on condition that the viscosity increasing tendency of grout suspension with time is properly taken into account.

The analysis of laterally loaded piles in sand Is presented through the finite element algorithm using p-y curve. The soil modulus are found iteratively where the reaction in the Winkler model is coincided with that in the f-y curve. Through the finite element algorthm, the direct considevation for the dependent effect of all other depths to a particular depth is possible. Pile head deflection and rotation are computed by this method and compared with field experimental data of statically loaded piles at the Kwang-yang steel mill construction site. The results of this method are compared with the field experimental date of statically loaded piles tested at the Kwang-yang steel mill construction site.

Adjacent ground surface settlements by deep excavations are analyzed by field observations in the areas where excavations are performed in sandy soils or weathered soils underlain by rocks, First, the magnitude and the distribution of ground surface settlements, which are developed before main excavation activities (e. g., diaphragm wall installation and center pile installation) , are measured and analyzed. Secondly, the magnitude and the distribution of ground surface settlements by main excavation are measured and analyzed. And the results are compared with the predictions obtained by the empirical methods. Through case studies performed on the excavation sites where adjacent ground surfaces or structures are damaged by excavation activities, upper limit location of ground surface cracks are investigated.

본 연구에서는 geosynthetics로 보강된 다짐토의 보강 메카니즘을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 실내시험 및 수치계산 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 고려하는 보강 메카니즘은 전단에 의한 다짐토의 체적 팽창(부의 다일렌탄시)을 geosynthetics에 의해 구속 억제하는 과정에서 생성되는 효과로 생각한다. 먼저, 실내실험을 위한 구제직인 방법으로서, geosynthetics의 보강효과를 정량직으로 파악하기 위하여 사질토를 다짐하여 공시체를 만들어 그 주위에 geosynthetics를 설치하여 전체적으로 압축전단 시험을 실시하였다. 또한, 다짐토의 다짐도를 달리 하고 한 가지 종류만의 geosynthetics를 이용하여, 다짐토와 geosynthetics의 상호작용에 따른 압축력 변화, geosynthetics의 인장력 변화 및 공시체의 파괴 진행상황 등을 살펴보았다. 수치계산에서는 다짐토의 다일렌탄시 특성에 대하여 표현 가능한 탄소성 구성모델을 이용하였다. 또한, 탄소성 구성 모델에서의 항복 이전의 탄성영역의 거동을 묘사하기 위하여 Hashiguchi(1989)가 제안한 subloading surface의 개념을 도입하였고, 유한요소(FEM)해석을 통해 얻어진 결과들을 실내시험의 결과와 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과 양자 양호한 결과를 얻었다.
