In the case of creating a site in the reclaimed land (public waters), due to the nature of the coastal sedimentary ground, large-scale construction materials are required, It is necessary to utilize soft clay, which is inevitably generated during construction of the complex, as a fill material in terms of resource recycling and economic aspects (reducing the amount of embankment required). In this study, changes in the consolidation characteristics of cut-out disturbed soft clay due to the recycling of soft clay soil were identified, and a consolidation settlement design plan was proposed. Through the results of the consolidation test of the study site, the change in consolidation characteristics (compression index reduction, precede load uncountable) due to disturbance (cutting) was confirmed, the method of calculating (consolidation settlement) the filling clay layer as the composite target layer (consolidation target layer, loading load layer) was analyzed as a result consistent with the actual behavior.

Increases in excess pore water pressure without change of surcharge load were reported in clay underneath embankment at Berthierville and Olga sites after the end of construction. These abnormal phenomena could not be explained by classical consolidation theory. This paper presents a nonlinear viscoplastic model to interpret an increase in pore water pressure on natural clay, The proposed model can consider the combined processes of pore water pressure dissipation according to Darcy's law and pore water pressure generation due to viscoplastic strain, as well as time-dependent viscoplastic behaviour and strain rate dependency of preconsolidation pressure. The calculated results using numerical analysis are compared with measured ones under embankments built on soft clay at Berthierville and Olga in Quebec, Canada. It may be possible to explain the phenomenon of excess pore water pressure increase after the end of construction using the proposed nonlinear viscoplastic model.

Numerous studies on the improvement of low strength for soft ground have been performed. EPS, light weight filling material, is used at the study site for stability on consolidation settlement. However, several problems such as settlement of pavement layer and damage of curb occurs. The elevation is lower 1 m than that of designed value by consolidation. It is caused by excessive load during construction. In this study, problems due to overloading on the soft ground where the EPS is used were analyzed and some cases for reasonable improvement method were described. From the results, instructions for design and construction are suggested.

본 논문에서는 배수재가 설치된 구역과 설치되지 않은 구역으로 구성된 Olga-C 시험성토지반의 변형률속도 의존적인 압밀거동을 서술하였다. 배수재가 설치된 지반이 압밀거동에 대한 변형률속도의 영향을 해석하기 위하여 응력-변형률-변형률 속도의 관계식(v-$\varepsilon$v- v)을 이용한 축대칭 비선형 점소성 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 실험실과 현장의 변형률속도 차이뿐만 아니라 간극수압의 소산과 생성의 복합적인 압밀과정을 고려할 수 있다. 연직 및 반경방향의 배수효과에 의해 배수재가 설치된 지반(Zone B)에서 유발되는 변형률 속도는 배수재가 설치되지 않은 연약지반 (Zone A)의 변형률 속도보다 크다. 유발된 변형률 속도의 영향으로 Zone B의 선행압밀하중도 Zone A에서 유발되는 선행압밀하중보다 크다. Olga-C 지역의 Zone A 에서는 응력완화효과가 유발되지만, Zone B에서는 응력완화효과가 유발 되지 않았다.

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 order to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground for the purpose of getting a trafficability of construction vehicles, the geosynthetics-sandmat system has often been used. Yamanouchi had proposed the equation of calculating the bearing capacity about this kind of bearing mechanism, which has a soft ground-geosynthetics-sandmat system. The bearing capacity equation by Yamanouchi has been widely using in our country. However this equation includes an important contradictory concept because if the contact width of vehicles is incresed to reduce the contact pressure, the bearing capacity is decresed on the contray according to this equation. In order to investigate this contradictory concept, the bearing capacity test has been performed on the soft model ground with geosynthetics-sandmat system. From the test results about various kinds of models, the principle that explain the contradictory concept has been found and on the basis of this principle the new bering capacity equation has been proposed by modifying Yamanouchi equation.

This paper holds three objects. The first is to analyze surveys of concerning zone and promotion department. The data were collected through an examination of construction excavated in coastal soft (marine) clay and measurements obtained during excavating construction. The second is to observe the appropriate selection and the application of support system on earth retaining wall in soft clay. Lateral deformation behavior during the excavating construction according to the differences in a soft ground pressuring degree was investigated. The third is to compare the results with those of numerical analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of lateral deformation when soft ground improvement for the expansion of infrastructure in object of study zone has been incompleted. Also, it is to identify the relationship between the degree of consolidation of soft ground and lateral deformation, in a method of displacement quantity in compliance with the numerical analysis and a quatitative analysis. In conclusion, displacement of excavated section after consolidation was fewer 60% averagely than section under consolidation.

기초지반에 대한 응력·변형률관계를 규명하기 위하여 소성론에 기초를 둔 구성방정식이 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 본문은 성토나 강성기초와 같은 지반구조물을 연약점토지반에 축조하였을 때에 발생하는 변형에 관해 연구코저 한 것이다. 본 연구를 위하여 2차원모형토조를 제작, 재하실험한 시료를 재하실험을통하여 침하, 융기, 측방변위등을 측정하고 이들을 여러구함식과 비교고찰하였다. 구성식으로서는 한계상태개념에 근거를 둔 Cam-clay, Modified Cam-clay그리고 시간의존성을 고려한 탄·정감성 model인 Sakiguchi model을 이용하고 이들을 수치해를 통해 고찰하였다. 본 모형실험에 의하면 변형을 예측하는데 있어서 ModifiedICam-clay model이 Original Cam-clay"model 보다 실측치에 가까웠으며 또한 시간의존성을 고려한 탄·점견성 model인 Sekiguchi model'는 본 실험에서처럼 단기간의 실험에서는 변형의 creep조건을 만족시키지 못하므로 현장조건에 따라 잘- 판단하여 적용하여 야할 것으로 판단 된다.

When deep excavation adjacent to an existing structure is performed, it is very important to minimize damage on the structure through the prediction of ground movement. In this paper, finite element analysis was performed to predict the ground movement, based on the data from site investigation and laboratory tests, when deep excavation close to a buried water tank was carried out in soft clay ground. The movement and stabilities of the soil-cement wall(SCW) and the adjacent structure were checked using the results of the analysis and the field measurement. The comparison between the measured and the predicted ground movements showed the significance of the excavation procedure and lowering of water level in the analytical model. In the future, it is needed to improve the prediction method for better estimation of the ground movement.

Deep soft ground in mouth of Nackdong river requires to be analysed with prediction method concerning characteristics of secondary consolidation from the beginning because it causes excessive settlement due to time-dependant secondary consolidation characteristics. This study investigated characteristics of extended settlement by conducting one-dimensional theory, elasto-plastic model and visco-elasto-plastic model as well as analyzing long-term measuring data observed over 2,000 days. According to one-dimensional theory and elasto-plastic model, there is not definite correlation between height of embankment and depth of soft ground while visco-elasto-plastic model showed similar result of settlement to that of long-term measuring data. Consequently it is suggested that applying visco-elasto-plastic model to developing deep underground place as studied area on predicting extended settlement before construction prevents economic loss and delay during process by preparing secondary consolidation characteristics.
