In this paper, model experiments in the laboratory were carried out to predict the effluent concentrations of suspended solid in containment of dumping dredged soils and test results were compared with results estimated by the currently used design method. Model tests of simulating dumping the dredged soils with a pump dredger in field were performed with changing the influent concentration and the length of containment and effluent concentration of suspended solid with time were measured during tests. As results of comparing test results about effluent concentration with those estimated from the design method by US Army COE(1987), they were confirmed to be in relatively good agreements.

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.

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.

토석류는 산지 사면에서 발생하여 지형변화에 큰 영향을 미치는 대표적인 자연재해 중 하나로 국내에서 발생하는 토석류는 홍수, 태풍 등 타 재해에 비하여 상대적으로 매우 짧은 시간에 발생하며, 사후대응이 어려우므로 사전대비가 필수적이다. 토석류로 인한 피해를 효과적으로 대비하기 위해서는 국내의 지질, 지형 그리고 강우에 따라 발생하는 토석류에 대한 보다 체계적인 정밀현장조사를 통한 자료 구축과 이를 분석한 토석류의 발생원인, 이동경로와 침식 및 퇴적에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 최근의 토석류 연구에서는 침식-퇴적 및 연행작용에 의한 효과를 반영한 수치모의 연구들이 있으나, 모형의 검증을 위한 침식-퇴적 거동에 대한 자료는 현재까지 매우 부족한 실정이다. 토석류 발생에 따른 침식-퇴적 거동특성은 그 자체로도 공학적으로 중요한 요소이며, 수치해석 모의에 필요한 매개변수 추정에도 필요한 항목이다. 토석류 모의의 검증자료로 활용될 수 있는 토석류에 대한 실험적 연구는 토석류의 확산 형태 및 확산 길이에 대한 내용이 대부분으로 흐름수로에서의 침식 및 퇴적에 대한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 발생에 따른 흐름부에서의 침식 및 퇴적에 대한 거동 특성을 분석하기 위하여 함수비, 흐름수로 경사, 상부 붕괴토조의 토사깊이, 흐름수로 침식가능 깊이 등 다양한 조건으로 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 상부 토조의 토사 함수비가 30~80% 실험에서는 퇴적 현상이 탁월하였고, 100% 이상인 실험에서는 침식 현상이 확연하게 나타나 토사의 함수비가 높아지면 집중호우 등 선행강우로 인한 산지 지역에서 발생되는 토석류 현상과 유사하고, 함수비가 낮으면 토석류(Debris flow)가 아닌 입상유동(Granular flow)으로 보는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단된다. 상부 토조의 함수비를 100% 이상으로 변화하여 침식이 발생한 실험에서 상부 토조의 액화 된 토사는 빠른 속도로 흐름이 진행되면서 함수비와 붕괴 체적이 증가할수록 흐름수로 상류부에 침식이 크게 나타나고, 상류부의 토사를 중류부를 거쳐 하류부까지 연행(Entrainment)하는 것으로 판단된다.

When a structure which has relatively low load constructs on soft clay, the bearing capacity of the ground will be improved by sand overlying clay. In this condition, verifying the bearing capacity is difficult from the P.B.T etcetera in the in-situ. So, it is needed to estimate precise bearing capacity in the design process. In this study, 2-dimensional chamber tests and FEM analyses are conducted to evaluate behavior of bearing capacity for shallow foundations on a sand overlying clay. Because depth ratio H/B and bearing capacity ratio $q_c/q_s$ are selected as main factors, height of a sand, undrained shear strength of a clay and width of a loading are designated as variables. Results from chamber tests are very similar with those of FEM analyses. And it shows that punching shear mechanism is more suitable than the equation of Okamura et al.(1998). To make continual application of load spread mechanism, the equivalent load spread angle is proposed for H/B and $q_c/q_s$. Also, the linear regression equation of critical depth ratio Hf is suggested for $q_c/q_s$.

For the development of areas around railway lines, subsurface construction using the non-open cut method under the railway has recently been increased. However, when a structure under a railway is constructed, the stress release of the ground is not considered an important factor in the design. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted to determine a zone of stress relaxation. Field tests using an inclinometer were performed to measure the horizontal displacement of the ground during non-open cut construction. The stress release zone and the subgrade stiffness were investigated by numerical analysis. The results of the laboratory tests indicated that the failure zone in the ground was similar to a Rankine's active earth pressure zone. The measured data from the inclinometer in the field tests showed that displacements started when a steel pipe was pushed into the ground. The results of numerical analysis show that lateral earth pressure was also close to Rankine's active earth pressure. The roadbed support stiffness of the soil around the structure decreased to 40% of the original value. The ground around the subsurface structure constructed using nonopen cut methods should be reinforced to maintain the running stability of train.

SI anchor means the soil improvement anchor. The ground for supporting anchor is improved by JSP, and as a result, SI anchor body has about 80cm in diameter. SI anchor shows high pullout resistance by the frictional force between anchor body and ground, and the bearing capacity of anchor body. Especially the frictional force increases very much with increasing diameter of anchor body improved by JBP. In this study, model and field tests are made to analyse the mechanism of pullout resistance of SI anchor. Through model tests for the SI anchor in air dried sandy ground, strain fields of ground around SI anchor surface are analysed by a photo analysis method using the latex membrane on the wall of soil tank. The results of field tests are analysed by the strains measured by 10 strain gages attached on the inner wall of specially designed PVC pipe embedded in anchor body, and the strains of anchor body are also measured in the model tests.

A horizontal drain method, which applies vacuum pressure at the end of a horizontal drain for discharging pore water, is used often for improving surface reclaimed clay in the field. In this study, to examine the effectiveness of improving consolidation or shear strength depends by varying vacuum pressure, laboratory chamber horizontal drain test using vacuum pressure is performed and the results is compared with that of self-weight consolidation. The results show that water content reduces with the increase of soil depth in case of self-weight consolidation, while it reduces near the horizontal drain and increases with the increase of the distance from the horizontal drain in case of applying vacuum pressure. The shear strength of dredged soil was improved as well, when the vacuum pressure is applied. The optimized consolidation was achieved at the vacuum pressure range of 30 to 50kPa in the laboratory box test of 50cm wide, considering the range of drain interval in the field was between 0.7 and 1.2m.

Marston (1913) and Spangler's (1982) theory was widely used in the analysis of the earth pressure of the narrow and long excavated ditch type backfield ground. Their theory was more clearly explained by expressing the minor principle stress arch connecting the minor principle stress link induced by interaction between the excavated wall surface and the backfilled earth. which was done by R.L. Handy(1985). Later C.G. Kellogg(1993) extended the study from vertical symmetric to incline symmetric in the backfill space type research. In the C.G. Kellogg's study, it is assumed that the resistance of wall friction on the sloping wall could be replaced by the internal friction angle in the sloping section bottom. In the study, the resistance of wall friction in the sloping section bottom, which was applied by C.G. Kellogg, would be different in magnitude with the resistance of wall friction in sloping section. The magnitude is expected to affect in the earth pressure calculation and verified by the soil test box, the C.G. Kellogg's theory, the numerical analysis and the modified C.G. Kellogg's theory considering the friction resistance to influence the incline wall.
