This study aims at evaluating feasibility of Bottom ash-mixed Foam Cement Banking(BFCB) Method on the enhancement of soft soil, which is developed to reduce self-weight of banking by applying bottom ash and foam. to cement slurry. In order to measure the behavior of soil when BFCB layer was covered to soft ground, a testing equipment for mock-up test was fabricated and phased loads were applied up to measurement of yielding and ultimate strengths as well as movement of ground particles. In addition, these measured values such as settlement and heaving were compared with ones of surface-hardening method prevailing on soil improvement. As the result through mock-up test, BFCB showed lower values of ground deformation, while wider range of deformation was observed in compare to the other method. And settlement and heaving were measured lower, which implies the method developed is very effective to applicability of soft ground.

As a result of calculating bearing capacity of soft silt soil(ML) and soft silt soils(ML', SM, SM') mixed with sand, all kinds of soils showed smaller values than existing expressions and when theoretical values are applied, considerable review is required. It was found that ultimate surcharge(bearing capacity) of soft silt soil was $q_{ult}=1.34C_u$ that of ML' soil in soft silt soils mixed with 3 kinds of sand $q_{ult}=1.40s$, that of SM soil $q_{ult}=1.73s$ and that of SM' soil $q_{ult}=2.72s$, Consequently, as content of sand having greater permeability than silt soil in creased, soil was stabilized gradually.

지반 위에 세워진 구조물의 지진응답해석시 지반-구조물 상호작용 영향은 지반으 선형특성을 고려하여 간주되었는데 최근 연구결과에 의하면 구조물 지진해석에서 연약지반의 비선형 특성이 중요한 요소로서 인식되었다. 하지만 지반-구조물계의 복잡한 비선형 특성 때문에 내진설계 기준에서 비선형 지반특성을 고려하기에는 아직도 어려움이 많다. 이 논문에서는 UBC 지반종류 $S_{D}$ 지반 위에 놓인 중규모의 얕은 온통기초와 묻힌 온통기초위에 세워진 건물에 대한 단자유도계 선형 지진해석을 연약지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 최대가속도가 0.17g 과 0.36g 인 Taft E-W 및 El Centro N-S 지진기록을 사용하여 수행하였다. 비선형 지진해석을 결과를 선형해석 결과와 비교하였을 때, 비선형 응답스펙트럼의 최대가속도가 지반의 비선형성 때문에 상당히 줄어드는 것으로 나타나 지반의 비선형성을 고려한 더효율적인 내진설계의 가능성을 보여준다.

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.

For the soft ground construction, the factors not considered in the design stage occurs in the construction stage so that they cause the increase of the construction cost due to the structural stability and the design change. The subject of the study is the construction section of the industrial complex access road made in the Ochang region of Chungcheongbuk-do. The study is concerned with selecting the soft ground handling method such as the replacement method using rock debris and the surcharge reflecting the service load as the soft ground handling measure and analyzing the effect of reducing the construction cost with the stability of structures and the reduction of the construction period. The soft ground in the study section consists of sandy and cohesive soil and is 2.4m to 5.5m deep. It is distributed unevenly between the 1.5m to 5.9m stratums under the ground surface. Settlement is not serious, but the future uneven settlement and difference are expected so that the future settlement behavior is estimated by analyzing the site measurement results after the soft ground treatment. Moreover, in consideration of the regional characteristics and economic efficiency, soil with good quality is replaced with rock debris as the replacement material so that 29% of the construction cost is reduced due to the increase of stability and the reduction of duration. If the estimation of the dispersion of the pore water pressure within the dam body and the change of the underground water level and the relation of the actually measured soft ground with consolidation is studied further on the basis of the study, it is expected that the behavior of the soft ground will be correctly estimated in various site conditions.

생석회말뚝공법은 연약점토에 대한 유용한 지반개량공법으로서 그 개량효과는 매우 빨리 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 생석회말뚝 타설 면적비에 따라 연약점토지반의 함수비나 전단강도 등의 특성이 어떻게 변화하는가를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 철제상자에 연약점토로 모형지반을 조성하고 소요 면적비로 생석회말뚝을 타설한 후 적당한 시간간격을 두고 함수비와 전단강도를 측정하는 실내 모형시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 면적비가 증가함에 따라 함수비의 감소량과 전단강도의 증가량은 커지지만 면적비가 약 10%를 초과하면 별 차이를 보이지 않으며 같은 면적비에서 생석회말뚝의 지름이 작고 간격이 좁으면 함수비의 감소량과 전단강도의 증가량은 더 크다는 것을 규명하였다. 또한 같은 양을 사용했다면 생석회말뚝공법보다 생석회혼합공법을 적용한 흙의 전단강도 증가량이 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The flat dilatometer test(DMT) is a useful geotechnical tool for estimating in-situ properties of various types of ground materials and the application of flat DMT is increasing. The existing relationships which are used to estimate the design parameters of soft deposit depend on the regional geotechnical characteristics and then it is necessary to investigate the applicability of the flat dilatometer in Korea. In this paper, the flat DMT has been conducted in soft marine deposits. The results estimated by existing relationships and those obtained from laboratory tests were compared. Based on the results, some factors influencing the relationships were examined and adjustment of empirical expression was performed.

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.
