얕은기초의 침하량은 기초강성에 따라 크게 좌우되지만 기존의 이론적인 연구결과는 실무에 적 하기에 불충분하였다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석법을 이용하여 직사각형 기초의 길이비에 따른 강성 보정계수를 산정하고자 하였다. 우선, Mayne & Poulos(1999)가 정사각형 기초에 대하여 제안한 강성 보정계수와 비교하여 본 수치해석 기법의 적용성을 검증하였다. 그리고, 검증된 수치해석 기법을 적용하여 직사각형 기초의 길이비를 L/B=1, 2, 5로 달리하여 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 동일한 기초강성에서 기초의 길이비(L/B)가 증가함에 따라 강성 보정계수 값이 점차 증가하는 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 L/B=5 인 경우에는 강성계수가 10이상 되더라도 기초는 완전강성 거동을 보이지 않았다.

This study compares elastic moduli calculated using two stiffness testing methods with different strain ranges to evaluate the stress-settlement characteristics of foundation support layers. Elastic moduli were calculated by the soil stiffness gauge (SSG) in the micro-strain range and the plate load test (PLT) in the medium strain range. To apply the elastic moduli obtained by the two testing methods with different strain ranges to the design and construction of foundation soils, the correlation between each measurement value should be identified in advance. As a result of the comparative analysis of the elastic moduli calculated using the two methods in weathered soil and rock, which are representative support layers in Korea, the calculated elastic moduli differed depending on the types of soil and stress conditions. For various soil types, the static elastic modulus obtained by the PLT was reduced by 56% because of the difference in the strain level of the test compared with the dynamic elastic modulus obtained by the SSG. Therefore, the results show that it is necessary to apply corrections to the stress distribution, stress level, and dynamic effect according to the ground stiffness to effectively use the SSG instead of the PLT.

Current design provisions and guide for performance-based design do not accurately evaluate seismic performance of flat plate system. In the previous companion studies, parametric studies using nonlinear finite element analyses were performed to investigate behavior of the flat plate, and based on the numerical results, design methods that can predict the bending moment-carrying capacity and the corresponding deformability of the flat plate was developed. In the present study, a generalized moment-rotation relation of the flat plate was developed based on the previous studies and the numerical analyses. The proposed method was verified by the comparisons with existing experiments. In addition, the effective stiffness of the flat plate corresponding to 0.2 percent of lateral drift that is generally regarded as the serviceability limit was proposed, so as to evaluate conveniently deflection of the structure subject to wind load.

EPS is increasingly used as a filling material in soft ground. The beneficial effects of the use of EPS derive from minimizing the stress increment, which, in turn, increases the bearing capacity and reduces the settlement. EPS can also be used as a backfill material for retaining walls and abutments to reduce the horizontal earth pressure. However, there is no rational application for the selection of the EPS fill which is essential to the selection of the filling configuration and the settlement calculation. In this paper, therefore, the nonlinear numerical model developed from the results of triaxial compression tests is applied to the construction of EPS and verified through the comparison between the prediction and in-situ measurements.

In this study, physical and geotechnical properties of the light weight mixed soil( weathered granite soil mixed with small pieces of waste EPS) were analyzed by laboratory experiments to examine its suitability for backfill materials of the reinforced-earth walls. Friction characteristics of geogrid-light weight sized soil were also investigated by performing the pullout tests for two types of geogrids having different flexural rigidity. Also a procedure was proposed to evaluate friction strength between geogrid and light weight miffed soil by using a stress-strain relationship of the orthotropic composite material subjected to both longitudinal and vertical loadings. By the procedure proposed in this study, values of the calibration coefficients ul and uf applicable for the evaluation of friction strengths between two types of geogrids and light weight mixed soils were further presented.
