This study analyzes the characteristics of creep deformation behavior of weathered granite soils used in road embankments. The creep strain under the unconfined compressive state demonstrated an excellent agreement with the theoretical analysis of the burgers substance. The elastic deformation showed a termination in its characteristics after a long-term period owing to the increase in applied loads. The primary creep strain was 0.0028 and concluded that the deformation completed within $3{\sim}5$ days after applying the loads. Also, the completing time of creep deformation in the embankment soils increased in proportion to the height of embankment soils. The secondary creep strain is about 50% of the primary creep strain.

The homogeneity of the compacted ground was analyzed using drone-based remote terrain and gravity field data. Among the topographic elements calculated by the hydrological algorithm, the topographic curvature effectively showed the shape of the surface that occurred during the compaction process, and the non-uniformly compacted area could be identified. The appropriate resolution of the digital topography requires a precision of about 10 cm. Gravity field Interpretation was performed to analyze the spatial density change of the compacted ground. In the distribution of residual bouguer gravity anomaly, the non-homogeneously compacted area showed a different magnitude of gravity than the surrounding area, and the difference in compaction was identified through gravity-density modeling. From the results, it is expected that the topographic element and gravitational field analysis method can be used to evaluate the homogeneity of the compacted ground.

To effectively improve soft soils, it is necessary to perform ground behavior characteristics and stability management through measurement activities when embankment of structures on soft soils is conducted. However, there are many differences between the actual ground behavior and the initial design plan. To address this issue, this study analyzed the measured settlement in the Yeongam-Haenam areas using the Hyperbolic method to predict the settlement based on the measurement data. From the completion time of the embankment in the target area, the final settlement was predicted through the change in the degree of consolidation by the measurement period. Furthermore, the final settlement according to the change in degree of consolidation was compared and analyzed through finite element analysis and field measurement.

When the structure is constructed on the soft ground, the embankment is settleed into the soft ground. At this time, the settlement of the structure is needed to predict. We are using bamboo mats construction only as a way of test construction. Under this circumstance, using the equation of Janbu and Perloff, we calculated the settlement, and analyzed the problem, suggesting proper theoretical equations showing the settlement of soft ground using bamboo mat. Using this equations the settlement was calculated and compared with the result of FEM. The result of the application was very close to the numerical value and the trend of theoretical equations. Using the existing equations, the settlement in Janbu's and Perloff's methods were calculated to be 40% of the actual settlement.

산업시설의 확충과 항만, 택지개발 등과 같은 기반시설의 신설 및 확장은 토지의 가용면적 증대와 매립 및 성토시 양질의 지반재료에 대한수요 증가를 필요로 한다. 부산 신항만 건설공사, 광양만 개발공사, 군산항 건설공사 및 서 해 안 고속도로 공사 등 최근 국책사업이 활발히 진행되어 매립, 성토재료로서 막대한 토사를 사용하고 있지 만 환경 보존의 중요성 등을 감안하면 대량의 육상토나 해사를 사용하는 것은 매우 어려울 뿐 아니라 상당한 비용이 소요되고 있는 실정이다. (중략)

Suction Drain Method is a relatively new technique to improve soft ground using vacuum pressure which can be directly applied to the soft ground through drains that the pore water pressure around them are decreased without changing total stress. This can accelerate volume changes and increase strength of the ground. This paper shows the results of field test of the suction drain method applied at dredged and reclaimed clay. To evaluate the improvement effects of soft ground by the suction drain method, this paper analyzed real-time field measurements to the results of the laboratory tests and numerical analysis. The comparisons of the settlement and shear strength between suction drain method and surcharge preloading method show possibilities for replacement of the preloading methods. The settlements by suction drain method were 2.3 times larger and undrained shear strength were 300%~400% higher than surcharge method. Moreover, the water content is decreased about 30% and the preconsolidation pressure is increased about $0.52kgf/cm^2$.

작년 7월 태풍 에위니아와 집중적인 호우는 강원도 지역에 많은 피해를 주었으며, 특히 강원도 인제, 양양, 평창 등의 지역에서 수십 명의 인명피해와 재산피해를 발생시켰다. 이로 인해 집중호우로 인한 사면 붕괴 및 산사태, 토석류 발생사례 및 하천과 인접한 도로 성토사면 붕괴 사례 등의 조사가 실시되고 수집된 자료를 분석, 문제점 제시 및 많은 대책방안들이 도출되었다. 이에 본고는 작년 수해현장들을 다시 찾아 수해복구 방법들을 조사하였으며, 수해복구사례를 소개함으로써 매년 여름철 발생되는 집중호우에 의한 자연재해 예방에 몸 담고 있는 관련자 및 토목기술자들에게 수해 저감 및 대책방안에 대한 일례를 전하고자 한다.

배수성과 인장강성을 가지는 복합 보강재를 사용하여 보강한 포화점성토의 거동에 선행하중이 미치는 영향을 조사하기위하여 평면변형을 시험을 수행하였다. 보강하지 않은 공시체와 보강한 공시체에 대하여 이방압밀(K=0.3, σ3'=50kPa)을 실시하고 비배수 및 배수전단시험을 일정변형율 속도를 실시하였다. 선행하중을 가한 시험의 경우는 이방압밀후 소정의 선행하중을 가하여 크리이프, 제하, 에이징 후에 비배수 전단시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 분석한 결과 포화전성성토와 같이 연약한 토질이라도 다짐을 잘하고 보강토의 큰 배수압툭강도를 이용하여 큰 배수압축강도를 이용하여 큰 선행하중을 가하여 과압밀 상태로 함으로써 비배수 전단시에 큰 초기강성을 가지는 것을 알수 있었다. 즉, 점성토의 보강토의 경우 보강에 의한 배수강도의 증가는 큰 선행하중을 가하기 위하여 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, comparison of the observed and the predicted ground deformations due to the construction of road embankment with peck drain near the construction site was made. Measurement of the ground deformation at the gasoline stand due to the construction of road embankment was made and it was compared with the predicted deformation results of Finite Element Method analysis made with Elasto-plastic and Elastic visco-plastic models. A well agreement was obtained between the measured and predicted ground deformations.
