This study is intended to find out the degree of compaction in field compaction, with soil type, the thickness of soil layer and the number of roller passing through the field density test and the field C. B. R. test by comparing vibration and non-vibration compactions. The results in this study are summarized as follows. 1. When the number of roller passing is few, it shows that the efficiency of the compaction by vibratory compaction is greater than that by non-vibratory compaction, the difference of the compaction ratio between vibratory and non-vibratory compaction is decreased according as the number of roller passing is more frequent. 2. Mechanizing on a large scale it is possible for a large equipment to be able to reach the point of A-1 compact ion method with three to five times of roller passing. To provide for mechanizing on a larger scale it is advisable to fix the standard by the D-2 compaction method. 3. As dry-density increases, the C. B. R. value increases, but the increasing ratio of C. B. R. value showed greater in vibrating compacting. 4. According as the number of roller passing increases, the increasing tendency of the C. B. R. Value is slow and the difference of the C. B. R. value between vibration and non-vibration compaction is large, the C. B. R. value showed greater about 20% in vibration compaction than in non-vibration compaction. 5. In C-5 soil type, with increasing the thickness of compaction, the degree of compaction is decreased. When the thickness of compaction is increased from 20cm to 30cm, the degree of compaction is decreased slowly, while the thickness of the compaction is increased from 30cm to 40cm the degree of compaction is decreased remarkably. Therefore it is advisable to compact the ground under the thickness of 30cm.

It is important to pay careful attention to the backfill construction for the structural integrity of concrete box culvert. To increase the structural integrity of culvert good compaction by the dynamic compaction roller with big capacity is as effective as good backfill materials. However structural distress of the culvert could be occurred due to the excessive earth pressure by great dynamic compaction load. In this study, two box culverts were constructed with change compaction materials and construction methods. Two type of on-site soils such as subbase and subgrade materials were used as backfill materials. In most case, dynamic compaction rollers with 11 to 12 ton weights were used and vibration frequency were applied from 2000 to 2500 rpm for the great compaction energy. Backfill compactions with good quality soils were carried out to examine the effect of cushions on dynamic lateral soil pressure. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and rubber of tire were adapted as cushion materials and they are set on the culverts before backfill construction. This paper presents the main results on the characteristics of dynamic earth pressures. Test result indicates that the amounts of increased dynamic pressures are affected with backfill materials, depth of pressure cell, and compaction condition. The earth pressure during compaction can give harmful effect to box culvert because the value of dynamic earth pressure coefficient $(\DeltaK_{dyn}=\DeltaK\sigma_h\DeltaK\sigma_v)$ during compaction is greater than that of static condition. It was observed that cushion panels of EPS(t=10cm) and rubber(t=5cm) are effective to mitigate dynamic lateral pressure on the culverts.

The in-situ Compaction test using sand cone (RC) and Plate Bearing Capacity Test (PBT) has been widely used for evaluating the subgrade and subbase condition on the pavement system. However, because the in-situ RC and PBT test are expensive and take plenties of time for operation, these are very difficult to figure out the in-situ characteristics of subgrade and subbase strength in detail. Therefore, for faster and economical operation, this study is to compare the Light Falling Weight Tests and propose the LFWD test as the in-situ Compaction test. This study suggests the relationship between in-situ RC value, $K_{30}$, $M_R$ and $E_{LFWD}$ of the subgrade and subbase materials in Korea using the laboratory and in-situ testing.

Deformational characteristics of subgrade soils are important properties in the mechanistic analysis and design of pavement system. In this study, to evaluate the effect of specimen construction methods on deformational characteristics of subgrade soils in Korea, resonant column tests were performed for specimens constructed by various methods. Specimen construction method affected to the modulus value but the variation in the normalized modulus reduction curve was almost identical. The effects of specimen construction method on modulus are decreased with increasing confining pressure. The average maximum variation in the modulus value with different specimen construction methods was estimated as 16.8%. The differences in the modulus value of the specimens with same water content and dry density conditions that made by gyratory compaction and impact compaction were very small within 5.2%. The impact compaction method was proposed as a specimen construction method for determining the design input parameter testing considering that impact compaction method is much simpler and require less expensive specimen construction equipment and setup than gyratory compaction method.

Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement (RCCP) is a type of pavement that shares conventional concrete pavement material characteristics and asphalt pavement construction characteristics. Even though RCCP is compacted in the same way and have similar aggregate gradation to asphalt pavements, its materials and structural performance properties are similar to those of conventional concrete pavement. With cement hydration and aggregate interlock, Roller-Compacted Concrete or RCC can provide strength properties equal to those of conventional concrete with low cement content. Therefore, compaction ratio of RCC can highly influence on its strength. In general, 95% of compaction ratio is required for proper strength development. RCC strength can be highly influenced by compaction energy which depends on compaction equipment and compaction method. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between compressive strength and compaction ratio of RCC. RCCP specimens were produced at different compaction ratio by using different compaction methods and energies. The compaction ratio was defined by the ratio of the specimen's dry density and its maximum dry density. The maximum dry density was obtained from Modified Proctor test. 28 days compressive strength corresponding to each compaction ratio case was tested. Finally, the relationship between compressive strength and compaction ratio can be analyzed. For application of roller-compacted concrete in domestic construction site, the relationship is important for field compaction management.

Soil compaction is one of the most important activities in the area of civil works, including road construction, airport construction, port construction and backfilling construction of structures. Soil compaction, particularly in road construction, can be categorized into subgrade compaction and roadbed compaction, and is significant work that when done poorly can serve as a factor causing poor construction due to a lack of compaction. Currently, there are many different types of compaction tests, and the plate bearing test and the unit weight of soil test based on the sand cone method are commonly used to measure the degree of compaction, but many other methods are under development as it is difficult to secure economic efficiency. For the purpose of this research, a portable penetration meter called the Free-Fall Penetration Test (FFPT) was developed and manufactured. In this study, a homogeneous sample was obtained from the construction site and soil was classified through a sieve analysis test in order to perform grain size analysis and a specific gravity test for an indoor test. The principle of FFPT is that the penetration needle installed at the tip of an object put into free fall using gravity is used to measure the depth of penetration into the road surface after subgrade or roadbed compaction has been completed; the degree of compaction is obtained through the unit weight of soil test according to the sand cone method and the relationship between the degree of compaction and the depth of the penetration needle is verified. The maximum allowable grain size of soil is 2.36 mm. For $A_1$ compaction, a trend line was developed using the result of the test performed from a drop height of 10 cm, and coefficient of determination of the trend line was $R^2=0.8677$, while for $D_2$ compaction, coefficient of determination of the trend line was $R^2=0.9815$ when testing at a drop height of 20 cm. Free fall test was carried out with the drop height adjusted from 10 cm to 50 cm at increments of 10 cm. This study intends to compare and analyze the correlation between the degree of compaction obtained from the unit weight of soil test based on the sand cone method and the depth of penetration of the penetration needle obtained from the FFPT meter. As such, it is expected that a portable penetration tester will make it easy to test the degree of compaction at many construction sites, and will lead to a reduction in time, equipment, and manpower which are the disadvantages of the current degree of compaction test, ultimately contributing to accurate and simple measurements of the degree of compaction as well as greater economic feasibility.

Generally, the Box-Culvert in levee is destroyed by various reasons. Especially when Box-Culvert is installed over the pile foundation in soft ground, the failure occurrs for 1) the weakness of compaction in Box-Culvert side by the differential settlement between outer ground and inner soil prism, 2) hydraulic fracturing and disturbance of Box-Culvert side soil by the repeated acting of seepage pressure at flood time. Also the side of Box-Culvert is difficult to compact and the shear resistance is reduced by more than 1/3 for the reduction of friction caused by the difference of material property. In this study, a series of model tests are conducted for the analysis of the development mechanism of outer ground and inner soil prism by the differential settlement using the pile foundation in soft ground, and cavity suppressed technique is suggested by the analysis of base plate enlargement effect.

In construction jobs, a combination of various kinds of machinery is used to perform earthworks at a large-scale site. Individual equipments essentially cooperate with each other on task such as excavation, load, transfer and compaction. While other area have studied cooperation system, related study in domestic construction is in poor condition. In this study, construction equipment fleet management system is developed for solving this problem and find way to improving efficiency in earthworks site. The entire concept of the fleet management system, including its components and process, has been systematically outlined in this paper. An operational methodology has also been suggested, where a number of machines, such as the excavators, trucks and compactors, are chosen and further grouped into a cluster. A case study verify fleet management system's effectiveness on performing task package by comparing existing work method with methodology in this study. Fleet management system in this study is expected to curtail fuel consumption by the reduction of working time and moving distance. Furthermore, it can be anticipated to declining carbon emission effect.

KEPCO에서는 발전소로부터 생산되는 전력을 각 가정에 공급하기 위하여 전력선을 설치하고 있다. 이 전력선은 지상과 지중에 동시에 설치되고 있으며, 지상에 위치한 전력선을 가공선이라 한다. 지중에 설치된 전력선을 지중선이라 하며, 지중선을 설치하기 위한 공사를 지중화공사라 한다. 전력선은 전력이 통전될 때 일정한 온도 이상의 열이 발생하게 되며 이 열이 신속하게 외부로 빠져나가야지만 전력수송효율이 떨어지지 않게 된다. 지중화공사는 대부분 도로를 재굴착하여 설치하게 되며, 전력선을 설치한 후 주변 되메움재로는 모래를 이용하고 있다.하지만 최근 들어 모래의 수급이 딸리고, 가격이 높아지고 있는 관계로 이의 대체재료가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전력선 되메움재인 모래의 대체재료로 건설폐기물의 일종이었던 순환골재를 이용하기 위하여 열저항특성을 분석하였다. 이미 순환골재는 2005년부터 공공 공사에 의무적으로 사용하도록 규정이 되어 있어 도로 또는 콘크리트 골재로 사용하고 있다. 순환골재를 전력선 되메움재로 사용하기 위해서는 열저항온도(thermal resistivity)가 $120^{\circ}C$-cm/W 이하가 되어야만 전력선 효율이 떨어지지 않기 때문에 이를 만족하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 QTM-500 장비를 이용하여 순환골재의 열저항 특성실험을 시행하였다. 실험의 원활한 수행을 위하여 순환골재의 입도는 5.0mm 이하로 제한하였으며, 인자로는 다짐도와 함수비를 중요한 인자로 선택하였다. 분석결과, 다짐도 및 함수비는 순환골재의 열저항온도에 영향을 미치는 주인자로 나타났으며, 일부 교호작용도 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 실험결과를 바탕으로 현장 실증실험을 수행할 예정이며, 본 연구결과는 KEPCO의 순환골재 이용기준수립에 활용할 예정이다.
