뒷채움재료의 선정기준으로 구조물과 연이은 토공부 사이의 부등침하를 최소화하기 위해 맞물림(Interlocking)효과 및 다짐성이 우수하고 배수가 원활히 될 수 있는 입상재료인 선택층 재료를 사용하는 것으로 규정 및 설계하고 있다. 일률적으로 정해진 현재의 뒤채움재료 선정기준은 건설초기에 손쉽게 구할 수 있었던 선택층 재료인 SB-1의 공급이 어려워져 적절하게 현장여건을 고려하기 곤란하다. 공학적 측면에서 지나치게 안전측으로 선택 및 설계되는 경우가 있어 공사비의 상승 등 시공성과 경제성 측면에서 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실내 모형토조를 이용하여 뒤채움 완료 후 뒤채움부 상단에서 교통하중에 의한 장기동적토압을 모사해 뒤채움부의 장기 침하량과 수직, 수평토압을 측정 비교해 교대 뒤채움부 재질 변경을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

좁은 되메움 공간의 벽체가 연직 또는 한쪽 벽체만이 경사진 경우 수평토압에 관한 연구는 국내외에서 상당히 진전되어 왔으나, 대칭으로 경사진 경우의 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 되메움 공간의 벽체가 대칭으로 경사지고 벽체간 하부폭이 다를 때 발생되는 수평토압에 관한 거동을 구명하기 위하여 시도되었다. 이를 위하여 모형토조를 사용하여 되메움 공간의 벽체가 대칭으로 경사진 경우 벽체의 경사각, 하부폭, 벽마찰각, 상대밀도를 변화시켜 총 24종류의 모형실험을 수행하였고, 이 결과를 Kellogg(1993)제안식, 벽면경사를 고려한 수정 제안식 및 벽면마찰반력으로부터 구한 수평토압과 비교, 분석하였다. 연구 결과 벽면마찰반력을 고려한 경우 평균연직토압을 적용하였음에도 Arching 효과가 발휘된 실험결과와 가장 근소한 차이를 나타내었다.

The soil deformation due to a pile penetration in sandy soils has been analysed in model pile penetration tests. To simulate the actual ground conditions, especially the in-situ stress levee the tests were performed in a calibration chamber where both the vertical and the horizontal stresses could be applied separately. The deformation was monitored via 5 earth pressure cells. The results, were compared with the theortical values based on the theory of cavity expansion.

For a marine bridge foundation construction, a large-circular-steel-pipe has been proposed for supporting vertical load and preventing water infiltration. However, a ship collision can adversely affect the structural stability. This paper presents a fundamental study on dynamic responses of the large-circular-steel-pipe by an impact load. In laboratory experiments, small-scaled steel pipe is installed in a soil tank. The soil height and water level are set to 23 cm and 25~70 cm, respectively. The upper part of the steel pipe is impacted using a hammer to simulate the ship collision. The dynamic responses are measured using accelerometers and strain gauges. Experimental results show that the strain decreases as the measured location is lowered. The higher frequency components appear in the impact load condition compared to the microtremor condition. However, the higher frequency components measured at the strain gauge located below the water level do not appear. For the accelerometer signal, the maximum frequency under the impact load is higher than that of the microtremor. The maximum frequency decreases as water level increases but it is larger than the maximum frequency of the microtremor. This study shows that strain gauge and accelerometer can be useful for evaluating the dynamic responses of large-circular-steel-pipes.

Several centrifuge modelling tests were performed to compare sand compaction pile (SCP) with gravel compaction pile (GCP) at the point of bearing capacity. SCP and GCP were installed as 30, 40, 50, 60, 70% of replacement ratio in cylindrical model tank (diameter = 20 cm, height = 40 cm), and the loading tests were carried out to analyze the bearing characteristics of soft clay ground reinforced by SCP and GCP. As a result of loading tests, the bearing capacities of soft grounds reinforced by SCP and GCP increase with increasing replacement ratio of pile, and a GCP reinforced ground has larger bearing capacity than that of a SCP reinforced ground. Several proposed bearing capacity equations for ground reinforced by SCP or GCP were compared with loading test results.

Geophysical investigation in non-destructive testing is economically less expensive than boring testing and providing geotechnical information over wide-area. But, it provides only limited geotechnical information, which is hardly used to the design. Accordingly, we performed electrical resistivity experiments on large scale of soil model to analyze the correlation between electrical resistivity response and soil water contents. The soils used in the experiments were the Jumunjin standard sand and weathered granite soil. Each soil particle size distribution and coefficient of uniformity of experimental material obtained in the experiments were maintained in a state of the homogeneous. The specifications of the model used in this study is $160{\times}100{\times}50$(cm) of acrylic, and each soil was maintained at the height 30 cm. The water content were measured using the 5TE sensors (water contents sensors) which is installed 7 ~ 8 cm apart vertically by plugging to floor. The results of the resistivity behavior pattern for Jumunjin standard sand was found to be sensitive to the water content, while the weathered granite soil was showing lower resistivity over the time, and there was no significant change in behavior pattern observed. So, it results that the Jumunjin standard sand's particle current conduction was better than the weathered granite soil's particle through contact with the distilled water. This lab test was also compared with the result of a test bed site composed of similar weathered soil. It was confirmed that these experiments were underlying research of non-destructive investigation techniques to improve the accuracy to estimate the geotechnical parameter.

This study investigates the existing theoretical backgrounds in order to examine the behavior of lateral flow according to the plasticity of soils when unsymmetrical surcharge is worked on polluted soft soils by comparing and analyzing the results measured through model tests. Model tests are canied out as follows soil tank, bearing frame and bearing plate are made. By increasing unsymmetrical surcharge to the ground soils with the consistent water content and with gradually increased polluted materials at intervals, the amounts of settlement, lateral displacement and upheaval were respectively observed. In conclusion, the value of critical surcharge was expressed as q$_{cr}$=2.78$_{cu}$ which was similar to those Tschebotarioff(q$_{cr}$=3.0$_{cu}$) and Meyerhof(q$_{cr}$=(B/2H+$\pi$/2)$_{cu}$) had been proposed. The value of ultimate capacity was expressed as q$_{ult}$=4.84$_{cu}$ which was similar to that of Prandtl. The lateral flow pressure is adeQuately calculated by the eQuation(P$_{max}$=K$_o$ r H) and the maximum value of lateral flow pressure is found near O.3H of layer thickness(H) and is higher to ground surface than the ones in composition pattern, Poulos distribution pattern and softclay soils (CL, CH) which is not polluted. The stability control method used in this research followed the management diagram of Tominaga.Hashimoto, Shibata.Sekiguchi, Matsuo.Kawamura who use the amounts of plasticity displacement by lateral flow. As a result, the ultimate capacity values in the diagram {S$_v$-(Y$_m$/S$_v$)} of Matsuo.Kawamura and in the diagram {(q/Y$_m$)-q} of Shibata. Sekiguchi were smaller than in the ones of load-settlement curve (q-S$_v$).

In order to investigate the effect of the pile shape on the bearing capacity of non-displacement piles, a series of model pile load tests were performed using a calibration chamber and three model piles with different shape. Results of the model tests showed that the bearing capacity of tapered piles was affected by its taper angle as well as the stress states and relative density of soil. Based on the results of model pile load tests, a new design equation for estimation of the bearing capacity of non-displacement piles was proposed, and it takes into account the effect of the taper angles on the bearing capacity of non-displacement piles.

In this study, numerical analyses and model tests were conducted to figure out the behavior of a slope reinforced by upward drainable soil nails during rainfall. The model tests were carried out on both reinforced and unreinforced slopes. To verify the results of the tests, seepage analyses were performed and compared with the test results using a commercial program, SEEP/W. The results showed that the numerical analyses have in overall a good agreement with the experiments in the variations of ground water level and pore water pressure even though there is some time delay for the experiment before the changes in the ground water level and pore water pressure after rainfall are observed, while the numerical analyses not.
