In this study, the relationship between the settlements and the horizontal displacements according to embankment was analyzed at the marine sedimentary grounds for preparation of a site, and then the empirical equations of both the settlement and the horizontal displacement considering the embankment load and the thickness were proposed. To do this, the field and laboratory tests were performed at the improvement section where the pre-loading method was applied, and the field monitoring was performed using various sensors. Based on the results of the tests and monitoring, the ground deposits, soil characteristics and engineering properties were analyzed and the settlements and lateral movements were estimated by the Regression analysis. The ground deposits from the ground surface were composed of reclaimed soils, sedimentary soils and based rocks. The thickness of clay in the sedimentary soils layer was ranged from 3.9 m to 44.5 m. The embankment heights to improve the ground during pre-loading were constructed from 4.7 m to 7.8 m in each section. The settlements during embankment were ranged from 0.959 m to 2.217 m and the lateral movements were ranged from 0.048 m to 0.313 m. As the result of regression analysis, the equations of settlements and horizontal displacements according to embankments may be proposed as $s=0.02h^2+0.11h$ and ${\delta}=0.01e^{0.37h}$, respectively. The proposed empirical equations of the settlements and the horizontal displacements according to embankment on the marine sedimentary ground may be applied to the site where has a similar condition of study area.

The settlement prediction is very important in preloading method for a construction site on the soft ground. At the design stage, however, it is hard to predict the settlement exactly due to limitations of the site survey. Most of the settlement prediction is performed by a regression settlement curve based on the field data during construction. In Korea, hyperbolic method has been most commonly used to align the settlement curve with the field data, because of its simplicity and many application cases. The results from hyperbolic method, however, may differ by data selections or data fitting methods. In this study, the analyses using hyperbolic method were performed about the field data of $\bigcirc\bigcirc$ site in Pusan. Two data fitting methods, using an axis transformation or an alternative method which is a direct regression method, were applied with various data groups. If data was used only after the ground water level being stabilized, fitting results using both methods were in good agreement with the measured data. Regardless of the information about the ground water level, the alternative method gives better results with the field data than the method using an axis transformation.

Man-made vibrations from traffic and construction activities are important because they may cause damage to structures. The current literature provides that damages in the urban areas were not caused by direct transmission of vibration, but rather through subsequent settlement caused by soil densification. In this paper. prediction technique of ground borne vibration induced settlement was introduced on the basis of case studies. In situ application technique of the settlement prediction model developed in laboratary was described, and the predicted settlement was compared with the measured settlement from case studies. The settlement from case studies hlatched well with the settlement calculated from the model. The parametric studies of settlement in typical urban site conditions were performed to determine the sensitive parameters and to develop reliable vibration monitoring and interpretation schemes. These demonstrated the potential usefulness of the model for the evaluation and prediction of the vibration induced in-situ settlement of sands.

폐기물 매립층의 침하는 매립 폐기물의 조성특성의 영향으로 인하여 침하특성이 일반 흙의 토질역학적 거동과 다르게 나타난다. 폐기물의 침하특성은 매립당시 나타나는 폐기물 하중에 의한 침하특성과 향후 장기적으로 유발되는 생화학적 침하특성을 구분하여 규명하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 대표적 매립지 폐기물 침하에 대한 계측자료를 바탕으로 역학적 일차 압축침하와 생화학적 이차 압축침하에 대한 침하특성계수를 산정하였다. 또한 Sower(1973)의 매립지 폐기물에 대한 침하량 산정식을 응용하여 다단형 매립지 폐기물에 적용할 수 있는 침하량 산정식을 구성하였다.

In this study, the degrees of consolidation were evaluated by analyzing the long-term settlement measured at the 3 work sites with soft ground in Gyeongnam Area. The Hyperbolic, Hoshino and Asaoka method were used, which were focused on prediction of long-term settlement of land on the basis of field measurement data. And the applicability of the settlement prediction method according to the measurement periods was investigated by analyzing the degree of consolidation at the target areas after dividing the terms into early and latter parts. According to the results obtained at the early stage of consolidation, the Hyperbolic method appeared to be in the highest applicability level, which was followed by Asaoka and Hoshino method in the order of level. In the case of latter stage of consolidation, Asaoka method appeared to be in the highest applicability level, which was followed by and the Hyperbolic, Hoshino method in the order of level.

Recently, the closed landfills are usually converted into parks or playground by the check the stability of landfill because they settle unevenly making them unsuitable for structures. When the closed landfill reuse, environmental and structural stability is important. To increase the bearing capacity and reduce the probable settlement of a foundation on waste disposal ground, a layer of geosynthetics(Geocell) is placed on the waste disposal ground. In this paper, the analysis of long-term settlement parameter correlation was performed, also the evaluation of bearing capacity reinforcement effect was conducted by field test. The settlement measured in the field, and input the same ground index when an integer to identify each model were compared by calculating the settlement. In addition, by adjusting the parameters of each model to identify the most similar to the value of field measurement parameters were calculated. Based on the analysis results, when the using the Park's model C(intermediate) = 0.0678, the expected settlement is similar to the field measurement results. Also, the bearing capacity of geocell reinforced ground is 1.193~1.554 times higher than that of unreinforced ground.

The existing subsidence prediction method based on the measurement data were confirmed in this study through literature research. It was confirmed that the hyperbolic method and the Asaoka method showed high accuracy, while the other prediction methods showed significantly low accuracy. Based on the analysis results, the limitations of the existing prediction equations were derived, and the improvement method of the settlement prediction equations was suggested. In this study, a weighted nonlinear regression analysis method that gives higher weight to the later data was proposed to improve the existing hyperbolic method.

Ground deformation around construction site in urban area where typically adjacent structures are located needs to be strictly controlled. Accordingly, it is very important to precisely monitor the ground deformation. Settlement beacon is typically employed to measure the ground deformation, but meanwhile the rapid development in electronic technology enables 3D image scanner to become available for measuring the ground deformation profile in usual construction sites. With respect to the profile measurement, the 3D scanner has an advantage, whereas its accuracy is somewhat limited because it does not measure the displacement directly. In this paper, we developed a conditional merging technique to combine the ground displacement measured from settlement beacon and the profile measured by the 3D scanner. Synthetic ground deformation profile was generated to validate the proposed technique. It is found that the ground deformation measurement error can be reduced significantly via the conditional merging technique.

Purpose: In this study, field experimental research was conducted to analyze the settlement characteristics of soft ground in the central inland region of Korea and use it in practice. Method: The design predicted values and comparative analysis were performed using the ten settlement measurement data actually measured in the field experiment. For the design prediction value, Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation settlement analysis was used. In the experiment, the surface subsidence plate was used for field measurement. Result: The settlement behavior of the predicted value and the actual value was generally similar, but in the settlement value, the actual settlement value showed a settlement behavior of 30% or less compared to the predicted settlement value. The rate of consolidation settlement in this study area was in the range of 9.6% to 27.0%, and the average value was 18.21%. It is analyzed that the prediction of the settlement amount of the silty soils distributed in the inland plains of the central region of Korea can be relatively overestimated. Conclusion: It is judged that precise ground investigation and detailed prediction are necessary because there is a possibility of over-design in the design for predicting the amount of settlement of the silty soils distributed in the inland plains of the central region of Korea.
