최근 국내에서 건설되고 있거나 계획 중인 신항만의 대부분은 우리나라의 대표적인 연약지반 지역에 위치하고 있어 항만 건설에 있어 경제성 및 시공성에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 방파제의 경우에도 연약지반 위에서 안전성을 확보하기 위해 엄청난 비용을 투입하여 지반계량을 실시하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 경제적이면서도 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 형식의 연약지반용 방파제의 개발이 시도되고 있다(권오순 등.2001 ; 권오순 등, 2002). (중략)

최근 특별한 연약지반 처리공법을 적용하지 않고 자중을 감소시키고 구조적인 특성을 이용하여 연약지반 위에 설치하는 방파제가 제안ㆍ개발되고 있다. 일본에서는 자중을 가볍게 하고 파랑 하중을 역T형 구조와 말뚝을 이용하여 지지하는 구조를 시공한 사례도 있으며(문사강지 등, 1989), 국내에서는 Fig. 1과 같이 역T형 콘크리트 방파제의 자중만으로도 과도한 압밀침하가 발생되는 아주 연약한 지반에서 방파제의 자중을 줄이기 위해 부력통을 설치하고 설계 하중은 지중에 벽체를 설치하여 지지하는 구조를 제안하고 그 성능을 평가한 바 있다(권오순 등,2001 ; 권오순 등, 2002).

In this study, finite element analysis is performed for consolidation behavior prediction of drainage-installed soft deposits. Finite element analysis is performed under the two strain conditions as small strain with limited application and large strain for relatively thick layers, large deformation and non-linear material properties. The analysis conditions such as layer depth, loading conditions, smear effects are also changed and variation of consolidation behavior for each condition is estimated from ABAQUS program.

A new type of breakwater, which can be applicable to soft ground without special treatment because of its light self weight and structural characteristic of bottom wall, has recently been developed. The objective of this study is to propose an evaluation method of safety factor for the new type of breakwater considering 3 categories of sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity. Previous method for gravity type of breakwater was modified and the proposed method was verified by comparing the safety factors with maximum lateral displacements, which were obtained from finite element analysis for various types of breakwaters and ground conditions. The results showed the newly proposed evaluation method of safety factors could reasonably be utilized.

For conventional gravity type offshore structures constructed on the soft ground, which is located on the western and/or southern Korea, the excessive consolidation settlements are caused by the self-weight of the structures and so additional ground treatment methods are generally needed. Several types of improved foundation systems utilizing buoyancy applicable to even the soft ground were introduced for economical and efficient design of the offshore structure. In this study, a series of numerical simulations on the consolidation and lateral behaviors of breakwaters with the improved foundation systems utilizing buoyancy were carried out. From the results of numerical simulations it is found that the foundation systems utilizing buoyancy are efficient for reducing the maximum consolidation settlements without reducing lateral safety.

We conducted a dynamic analysis of an underwater test collector, which operates on extremely soft soil of deep-seafloor. The underwater test collector consists of nodule pick-up device, vehicle tracks, nodule crusher, loading frame and electric-electronic system. The weight of underwater test collector is about 8600 kg. The average normal pressure, that the underwater test collector supports, is about 6.0 kPa. The dynamic analysis model of underwater test collector is developed using commercial software RecurDyn-LM and Visual Fortran 90. A terramechanics model of extremely soft soil is implemented to the software based on user-written subroutine and applied to the dynamic analysis of the underwater test collector model. The dynamic responses of test collector are studied with respect to track velocities, terrain conditions, and coefficients of added mass and drag.

In order to accelerate the rate of consolidation settlement, to reduce settlement, and to increase bearing capacity for soft ground under quay, sand compaction pile method (SCP) has usually been applied. SCP-reinforced ground is composite soil which consists of the sand pile and the surrounding soft soil. One of main important considerations in design and analysis for SCP-reinforced soils is stress concentration ratio according to area replacement ratio. In this paper, the numerical analysis was conducted to investigate characteristics of stress concentration ratio in composite ground. It was found that stress concentration ratio of composite ground is not constant as well as depends on several factors such as area replacement ratio, depth of soft soil, and consolidation process. The values of stress concentration ratio increase during loading stage due to stress transfer of composite soil, and reach up to 2.5∼12 according to area replacement ratio at the end of construction. After the end of consolidation, however, these values are converged to 2.5 to 6.0 irrespective of area replacement ratio due to increase in effective stress of soft soil during consolidation process.

This study presents a reasonable and economical DCM reinforcement length for the various factors (the embankment height, the distance from the embankment to the underground structure, the depth of the soft ground, and the compression index and the swelling index of the soft ground) that affect the stability of the structure due to lateral movement. Based on these results, we analyzed each factor's degree of influence and figured out which factor influenced the lateral movement most. The cross section of the embankment on the soft ground was modeled by using the Finite Element Program and reinforced with DCM. The results show that the increase rate of the reinforcement length with the increase of the embankment height is about 9~50%, the increase rate of the reinforcement length with the depth of soft ground is about 13~30%, and the increase rate of the reinforcement length with increasing compression index is about 3~25%. In addition, the influence of each factor on each other was analyzed. As a result, among the separation distance, the compressive index and the maximum to minimum slope ratio of the reinforcement length of the embankment height, the separation distance was the largest for the depth of soft ground. As the depth of the soft ground increases, the ratio of the maximum to minimum slope of the reinforcement length according to the embankment height is 3.75, the ratio of the maximum to minimum slope of the reinforcement length according to the spacing distance is 4.3, and the ratio of maximum to minimum slope according to compression index is 2.5. From these results, it is confirmed that the three factors are greatly affected by the depth of soft ground.
