In earthwork projects, the designer considers cut and fill balance for minimizing earthwork which may significantly decrease construction costs. Despite carrying out considerable earthwork design, the decrease in volume of earth occurs in construction sites because of embankment settlement under self-weight, consolidation settlement of soft ground, cavity filling and soil loss due to rainfall-runoff. To reflect the decrease in volume of earth, the specifications for road construction just give shrinkage factors in embankment for soils without consideration of embankment settlement under self-weight. In this study, the computational method is used to estimate the amount of embankment settlement under self-weight developed by Iseda (1972) and Ishii (1976). This research shows that the total compression settlements are between 3 to 10 percent of embankment height according to the property of embankment material and embankment height. As a result, the designer should consider the compression settlement on embankment material under selt-weight.

섬유보강재를 이용한 성토제체의 설계에서 기존의 방법은 보강재의 변형을 무시하고 흙의 변형만을 중요시하고 있다. 보강재에 의해 보강된 성토제체의 파괴면에서 보강재와 흙의 거동은 초기응력단계에서는 일체거동현상을 나타내지만 응력의 증가에 따라 변형량에서 차이를 보인다. 이러한 문제는 토공구조물의 보강재를 설계하는데 있어서 중요한 요소로서 보강효과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 PET Mat로 보강하여 축조한 성토제체에서 보강재와 흙의 응력 - 변형거동을 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 파괴면에서 보강재의 변형은 보강재의 인장강도 크기에 따라 큰 차이를 보이고 있다. 외부하중에 의해 보강재에 발생하는 최대응력은 보강재의 항복인장강도를 초과하지 않으며, 보강재에 발생하는 응력이 성토체에서 발생하는 응력이상일 때 이상적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제체의 전단파괴에 대한 안전율은 보강재의 항복인장강도가 증가할수록 증가하는데 보강재와 흙의 변형이 일치되는 이후부터는 안전율의 증가율은 거의 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

선행압밀공법에서 지반으로부터 배출되는 물을 신속히 배수시키기 위해 연약지반상에 수평배수층을 설치한다. 종전의 연구에 의하면(예, Giroud(1981), 한국도로공사(1998)), 배수층의 통수능은 성토하중의 성토기간 또는 압밀속도의 영향을 받으며, 성토기간이 짧을 때에는 과다한 배수능이 요구된다. 이 논문에서는 선행압밀공법에 적용 가능한 새로운 압밀해석방법을 사용하여 소요통수능을 재검토하고 새로운 실용공식을 제안하였다. 전반적인 압밀침하량이 5%이내에서 지연될 때에는 소요통수능은 성토기간의 영향을 받지 않는다는 것을 알게 되었다. 또한 소요통수량은 압축지수, 압밀계수 및 수평배수층의 배수거리의 제곱에 비례한다는 것도 밝혀졌다.

Pile-supported embankment is one of the reinforcing methods to minimize damage due to the severe subsidence and lateral flow when soft clay ground is supported with embankment. pile-supported embankment mainly penetrates soft ground into the bearing stratum in order to support surcharge load which minimizes the subsidence and lateral flow due to the surcharge load. The aim of this research is to review quantitatively reinforcing effect of pile-supported embankment which is installed in soft clay ground. From the model test, it reproduced the ground movement with regard to the non-reinforced and reinforcing embankment-pile and also analyzed stabilizing effects of lateral flow due to the pile-supported embankment. With regard to the case of installing pile-supported embankment, its were analyzed stabilizing effects of lateral flow in cases of quick-load and slow-load to make different surcharge load.

낙동강 하구지역 연직배수공법이 적용된 연약지반에서 성토시 발생할 수 있는 지반의 측방변형에 대해 3개소 현장 35개 지점에서 수행한 현장 계측데이터를 분석하였다. 성토과정에서 측방변형 패턴 및 변형량을 파악하는데 가장 우선적으로 파악해야 할 계측항목이 지중경사계이며 지반특성별 측방변형 패턴(최대 측방변위발생 지점, 전단변위 발생지점, 지층에 따른 변위발생 형태 등)의 정밀 분석을 위해서는 지중경사계가 설치된 지점의 지층구성을 파악하는 것이 가장 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 최대 측방변위량과 성토체 중앙부 침하량과의 관계에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제안한 ${\Delta}_y=(0.18+0.09){\Delta}_s$이하로 관측되었다. 또한 측방변형 억제 및 인접지반의 동반침하를 차단하기 위해 보강된 D.C.M., C.I.P.구간에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제안한 ${\Delta}_y=(0.18-0.09){\Delta}_s$이하로 관측되었다. 최대 측방변위량과 성토속도와의 관계에서는 과잉간극수압 소산에 필요한 충분한 시간과 원활한 배수가 될 수 있도록 시공관리(성토속도조절, 배수관리 철저)하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다는 사실을 다시 한 번 확인 할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 편재하중 재하에 따른 인접 지반 및 구조물의 침하 및 기울기 변화는 측방유동에 의한 거동과 함께 압밀침하에 의한 제체의 체적감소로 인한 인접지반의 동반침하가 상당기간 동안 발생하고 있는 것으로 관측되었다.

In conventional stability analysis of embankment on soft clay ground, an averaged undrained shear strength$(s_u)$ for the depth of clay layer is usually used. Also, all applied load is assumed to an immediate load for simplicity of analysis. The load in the field, however, increases gradually. Undrained shear strength increases during loading due to consolidation of clay ground. In this study, the stability analysis program(RSI-SLOPE) is developed. By using this program, it is possible to consider the rate of strength increase according to the elapsed time of consolidation and the depth of clay ground. And the rested duration for consolidation and gradually increased load can also be considered. Using the examples of some embankments, the critical embankment heights calculated by RSI-SLOPE program are compared with those by PCSTABL without the considerations of gradually increased load and rate of strength increase. In addition, this study contains analysis and comparison about the influence of coefficient of consolidation$(c_u)$ and drainage distance$(H_{DR})$ in the embankment design. RSI-SlOPE program may be useful for more effective and accurate embankment design.

This study was carried out to examine the tree-ring growth characteristics of Pinus thunbergii Parl. after replanting on the reclaimed land from the sea in Kwangyang bay, The factors, mostly affecting the growths of Pinus thunbergii Parl. , were the replanting stress and drought. The growth reduction due to replanting occurred in the replanting year and following year, but that due to drought after 2-3 years of replanting. The growth recovery after replanting differed with soil condition. The sites showing fast recovery were the covered ground of improve soil, the ground of medium mounding, the top and the slope ground of big mounding sites. The filled ground of improve soil and the lower ground of big mounding sites showed retarded growths. The mean sensitivity(year-to-year variation) and the coefficient of variation(tree-to-tree variation in a certain year) in tree rings of Pinus thunbergii Parl. were higher in the poor soil sites than in the favourable soil ones. The physical characteristics of the soil, especially soil hardness, were the most crucial. The mean sensitivity and the coefficient of variation were also low in the salty soil environment.

Dynamic centrifuge model test was conducted to evaluate the dynamic stability of the pile-supported slab track method during dynamic railway loading and earthquake loading. The centrifuge tests were carried out for various condition of embankment height and soft ground depth. Based on test results, we found that the bending moment was increased with embankment height and decreased with soft ground depth. In addition, it was confirmed that the pile-supported slab track system could have dynamic stability for short-period seismic loading. However, in case of long-period seismic loading, such as Hachinohe earthquake, the observed maximum bending moment reached to pile cracking moment at the return period of 2,400 year earthquake. The criterion of ratio between embankment height and soft ground depth was suggested for dynamic stability of pile-supported slab track system.

To observe the behavior of lateral deformation of buried pipe and the preventing effect of embankment piles against the lateral deformation, a series of full-scale field tests were performed on a reclaimed coastal area. A buried pipe was installed in the west coast undergoing reclamation and embankment was performed by three steps. Then vertical settlement and lateral displacement were measured by the settlement plate and the inclinometer. Embankment pile system were applied to prevent the lateral displacement of buried pipe. Heave of the buried pipe slightly happens during embankment and following settlement. Finally the behavior steadily converged. The preventing effect of the embankment pile was approximately two times stronger than non-reinforcement. Both settlement and lateral displacement appear to be bigger at upper ground and smaller at lower ground.
