In this study, the surface displacement was investigated according to the various depth of cover when the tunnel excavation equipment was used in a clay soil. For this the laboratory scaled model test was carried out using the soil sample similar to the in-situ conditions. We carried out four tests according to tunnel depth(1.5D, 2.0D, 2.5D, 3.0D). The distribution of impact due to tunnelling was quantitatively analyzed in the three-dimension by measuring the surface displacement. In addition, the pattern of surface displacements was figured out.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the feasibility of ligthweight pavement system with pile foundation on soft soil by laboratory small chamber test. In order to verify the stability of lightweight pavement system, the 1/30 scaled downed model system was tested at lab. The soft soil condition was simulated and group piles for skin friction resistance were used. Within the limited lab test, the settlements of pavement system were 0.86 mm for Case A, 0.70 mm for Case B, and 0.50 mm for Case C. The converted maximum settlement differential settlement were 25.8 mm and 10.8 mm. These values meet the inside of specification of Bridge Design Guide in Korea. The use of lightweight pavement systems on soft soils could be an alternative construction method on soft soils to reduce the challenges of conventional design and constructions.

Tunnelling is getting more important solutions for problems induced by the growth population in urban areas. Many studies on tunnelling below existing structure are carried out by many researchers. In general, however, ground water condition is ignored for most of researches using laboratory model test, so far. In case of ground behavior, error can occur if the result of effective stress related to hydraulic condition can't be taken into considerations. In this study, therefore, laboratory model test and the close range photogrammetry were conducted to investigate behaviour of ground and shallow foundation using newly device drainage system which is available to express the ground water condition. Also, numerical analysis was carried out to compare to results from the laboratory model test, and was performed with two methods, one is plastic and the other one is fully coupled analysis. Results from those two methods were compared to that of the laboratory model test.

일반적으로 샌드파일 설치로 인해 파일주변지반은 교란되어 스미어 영향과 배수저항에 의해 압밀지연 현상이 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 예민한 점성토 지반일 경우 교란정도가 크며, 틱소트로피현상이 지연될 경우 지지력 및 압축특성은 불리하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 원지반 특성이 파악된 채취시료를 이용하여 완전 교란조건에서의 실내모형시험과, 염분농도변화에 의한 실내역학시험을 실시하였다. 실내모형시험 결과 낮은 하중단계에서의 압밀계수는 비교란 시료의 특성과 유사하게 나타났으며, 염분농도 증가에 따라 일축압출강도가 증가하고 강도회복은 빠르며 압축지수는 작게 나타났다. 결과적으로 점성토지반 간극수중 염분농도는 강도증대와 압축특성 변화에 영향을 주며, 틱소트로피 증대의 영향요소가 적은 담수지반에서 샌드파일을 시공할 경우 발생하는 과다침하의 한 원인으로 여겨지는바, 이와 같은 요인은 측방유동에 의한 침하거동과 함께 고려하여야 할 영향요소로 파악되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents the slope wall technique using soil improvement material for reinforced soil slope through laboratory scale model tests, and verifies the experimental results comparing with numerical analysis. In additional, case study in field has performed to investigate the deformation of reinforced soil slope for 6 months. As a result of laboratory scale model test, numerical analysis, and case study, the reinforcement effect of the slope wall technique using soil improvement material is sufficient to be constructed as reinforced soil slope. The technique shows the stable ratio (0.4%) of horizontal to vertical deformation in the surface loading.

The objective of this research was to develop a VEPCD (ViscoElastoPlastic Continuum Damage) Model which is used to predict the behavior of asphalt concrete under various loading and temperature conditions. This paper presents the VEPCD model formulated in a tension mode and its validation using four hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures: dense-graded HMA, SBS, CR-TB, and Terpolymer. Modelling approaches consist of two components: the ViscoElastic Continuum Damage (VECD) mechanics and the ViscoPlastic (VP) theory. The VECD model was to describe the time-dependent behavior of HMA with growing damage. The irrecoverable (whether time-dependent or independent) strain has been described by the VP model. Based on the strain decomposition principle, these two models are integrated to form the VEPCD model. For validating the VEPCD model, two types of laboratory tests were performed: 1) a constant crosshead strain rate tension test, 2) a fatigue test with randomly selected load levels and frequencies.

To investigate the applicability of Precious Slag Ball as the alternative material such as vertical drains, it is necessary to check the drainage effect of it in the field construction. In order to attain an successful design it is important to predict problems encountered in field construction. Accordingly, in this study the laboratory tests were executed under different conditions before applying of the field. 4 cases including Precious Slag Ball, sand+Precious Slag Ball, pack Precious Slag Ball and sand as vertical drains were conducted, and under the base of the laboratory tests the field test was executed and analyzed. By the upper results it is apposite to use Precious Slag Ball as vertical drains.

It is very important to understand and analyze the interactive behaviour between ground and adjacent structures due to tunneling. With many technological advancement in modern society, numerous methods for analyzing the interactive behaviour are used in a wide range of civil engineering fields. Close range photogrammetry is mainly being used in the field of geotechnical engineering and research on measuring methods associated with GeoPIV has been currently increased. Originally, the close range photogrammetry using target points and aluminum rods for VMS (Vision Measurement System) program has been used. However, applying this has a problem that external errors can be occurred because the target points are artificially installed by hand, and if the grid between points is being wider or narrower, deficient data can be obtained. Therefore, in this study, MATLAB-based No-target program that can analyze displacement without using target was developed. Additionally, this study focused on comparison and verification with existing program through numerical analysis and laboratory model test. Three cases of Greenfield condition, Strip foundation, and Pile foundation were analyzed. From results of VMS program and No-target program, the error rate and reliability of the total displacement and the vertical displacement were analyzed. It was also compared and verified through the finite element numerical program, PLAXIS.
