Based on the field measuring data obtained from excavation sections in Inchon International Airport project, the relationships between the horizontal displacement of sheet-pile walls and the deformations of soft ground around the excavation were investigated. The horizontal displacements of walls according to supporting method occur, and the displacements were found to become larger in the order of anchors, anchors with struts, and struts. The depths of maximum horizontal displacement are varied with supporting systems. If the stability number shows lower than ${\pi}$, the maximum horizontal displacement and the velocity of maximum horizontal displacement are respectively developed less than $1\%$ of excavation depth and 1mm/day. When the stability number shows lower than ${\pi}+2$, the maximum horizontal displacement and the velocity are respectively developed less than $2.5\%$ of excavation depth and 2mm/day. Also, when the stability number shows more than ${\pi}+2$, the maximum horizontal displacement and the velocity rapidly increase. Also, the maximum horizontal displacement is found to increase rapidly when N value is less than 10. The maximum horizontal displacement increases with decreasing the factor of safety against basal heave (Terzaghi, 1943), and the maximum horizontal displacement is found to increase rapidly when the factor of safety against basal heave is greater than 2.0. This value can be proposed as the criterion for the factor of safety against basal heave in Korea.

The behavior of earth retention wall installed in cut slope is different from the behavior of retention wall applied in urban excavation. In order to establish the design method of anchored retention walls in cut slope, the behavior of anchored retention wall can be investigated and checked in detail. In this study, the behavior of anchored retention wall was investigated by instrumentation installed in cut slope for an apartment construction stabilized by a row of piles. The horizontal displacement of anchored retention wall was larger than the displacement of slope soil behind the wall at the early stage of excavation. As the excavation depth became deeper, the horizontal displacement of slope soil was larger than the displacement of anchored retention wall. It means that the horizontal displacement of anchored retention wall due to excavation is restrained by soldier pile stiffness and jacking force of anchor. Jacking force of anchor was mainly influenced in the horizontal displacement of anchored retention wall. The displacements of anchored retention wall and slope soil were affected mainly by an rainfall infiltrated from the ground surface. Meanwhile, the horizontal displacement of anchored retention wall with slope backside was about 2-6 times larger than the displacement of anchored retention wall with horizontal backside of excavation.

The stability of innovative prestressed wale system applied in urban excavation was investigated. The IPS is a wale system prestressed by tension of steel wires. The IPS consists of steel wires, H-beam support and wale. The IPS provides a high flexural stiffness to resist the bending moment caused by earth pressures. And the IPS transmits earth pressures due to excavation to corner struts. The IPS provides a larger spacing of support, economical benefit, construction easiness, good performance and safety control. This paper explains basic concept and mechanism of the IPS and presents the measured performances of the IPS applied in urban excavation. In order to investigate applicability and stability of the IPS in urban excavation, observations and measurements in site were performed. The IPS applied in urban excavation was performed successfully. The results of the field instrumentation were presented. The measured performances of the IPS were investigated. And behavior of the wall and corner struts was investigated.

A study of interactive ground behaviour due to tunnelling adjacent to existing piles has not been recognized well for the most geotechnical engineers so far. Because this is a very sophisticated boundary condition problem. In this study, therefore, the author has conducted both the laboratory model test and finite element analysis (FEA) to figure out such a complicated ground behaviour related to shear strain formations. Based on the model testing and FEA results, a boundary line which divides into two distinctive shear strain formations in relation to the locations of end-bearing pile tips was proposed. The author believes that the proposed boundary line may be helpful for planning the appropriate tunnel positions for avoiding damage of buildings which supported by piled-foundations in urban areas.

최근 환경문제에 대한 사회적 관심이 고조됨에 따라 말뚝항타로 인한 지반진동, 소음 등이 각종 건설현장에서 심각한 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 지반을 굴착하고 cement paste를 주입한후 기성말뚝을 삽입하는 SIP공법은 이러한 건설환경 여건의 변화에 부응하여 그 적용이 급속히 증대되고 있다. 그러나 국내에서 SIP공법으로 시공딘 말뚝의 재하시험 결과는 각종 문헌에서 제시학 있는 지지력 산정공식들과는 상이한 특성을 나타내 주고있다. 또한 말뚝의 품질관리를 위한 시험결과는 상당한 지지력 미달현상이 발생학 있는 것으로 나타나고 있어 본 공법에 대한 지지력 특성이 규명되어야 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 시공된 사례들을 중심으로 SIP공법의 지지력 특성을 분석하여 보았다.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to present a reasonable safety management of the anchored in-situ wall systems constructed in the ground conditions consisting of multi-layered soils underlain by bedrocks in the urban area of Korea. Method: Field measurements collected from collapse case histories with deep excavations were analyzed for the safety management of the wall systems supported by the earth anchors in terms of lateral displacement rates. Results: The average maximum lateral displacement rate in a collapsed zone of the in-situ wall significantly increased upon the completion of the excavation. Particularly, the collapse of the in-situ wall system due to the sliding occurring along the discontinuities of the rock produced a considerably large lateral displacement rate over a relatively short period. Conclusion: For predicting and preventing the collapse of the wall system during or after the excavation work, the utilization of the safety management criteria of the in-situ wall system by the lateral displacement rate was found to be much more reasonable in judging the safety of earthworks than the application of the quantitative management criteria which have been commonly used in the excavation sites.

It is generally known that the mechanism of behavior in the flexible earth retaining system is relatively more complicated than in the rigid earth retaining system. Moreover in the case of long span strut supporting system the analysis of strut axial force change becomes more difficult when the differences of ground condition and excavation work progress on both sides of excavation section are added. When deeper excavation than the specification or installation delay of supporting system or change of ground condition happen during construction process, lots of axial force can be induced in some struts, which threaten the safety of construction. This paper introduces two examples of long span deep excavation where struts and rock bolts were used as a supporting system with flexible wall structure. The characteristics of ground deformation and strut axial force change, which were measured in the sections of two examples that are 50 meters apart in one construction site and have almost similar design and construction conditions were analysed, the similarity and difference between measurement results of two examples were compared and investigated. This article aims to improve and develop the technique of design and construction in future projects having similar ground condition and supporting method.

This paper describes research on the prediction of the vertical displacement of surface, horizontal displacements and bending moments in two anchored retaining wall for an excavation by a finite element program. It is very important to consider the appropriate constitutive model for the numerical analysis in excavation behavior. It is shown in this paper that the analyses of excavation considering small strain stiffness gives the more reasonable prediction of the vertical displacement of surface. and the parametric study on the small strain stiffness parameters for excavation analysis has been analysed.
