The sands which use for soil improvement of soft ground at coastal area contain more or less amount of shells. In this research the effects of shell contents on the liquefaction resistance of the shelly sand were studied. NGI cyclic simple shear tests were performed for the shell-sands with shell contents of 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% under the effective vertical stress of 50kPa, 100kPa and 150kPa for 40% and 55% of relative density, respectively. Cyclic simple shear test results showed that for the low effective vertical stress, the liquefaction resistance increased rapidly with increase of shell contents in both 40% and 55% relative density. On the other hand, for the high effective vertical stress, the liquefaction resistance increased slightly in 40% relative density and was almost same in 55% relative density. Liquefaction resistance decreased with increasing effective vertical stress for both 40% and 55% relative density. In the same effective vertical stress and shell contents, liquefaction resistance increased with the increase of relative density.

난류응력은 순간속도성분을 시간평균성분과 편차성분의 합으로 보고 Navier-Stokes 방정식으로부터 Reynolds 방정식을 유도할 때 나타나게 된다. Reynolds 방정식으로부터 수심 적분된 천수방정식을 유도하는 과정에서 시간 평균된 유속성분을 수심 적분된 유속성분과 편차성분의 합으로 본다면, 분산응력 (dispersion stress)이라고 하는 추가적인 새로운 항이 잔류하게 된다. 점성응력, 난류응력, 그리고 분산응력을 통칭하여 유효응력 (effective stress)이라고 한다. 일반적으로 수심에 비해 수로 폭이 넓은 개수로에서는 유효응력이 흐름특성의 수치 근사해에 큰 영향을 미치지 못한다고 가정하여 2차원 수심적분 모형에서 유효응력을 생략하기도 한다. 또한 유효응력을 적용하더라도, 점성응력이 난류응력에 비해 무시할 만큼 작다고 가정하여 난류응력만을 적용하며, 분산응력은 무시된다. 하지만 만곡부에서는 원심력과 편수위로 인한 횡방향 압력의 불균형이 발생하기 때문에, 만곡부의 이차류가 발생되며, 유속의 연직방향 분포도 일정하지 않게 된다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 만곡부의 이차류 특성을 수심적분 2차원 모형에 반영하기 위해 분산응력을 고려한 모형의 개발 및 검증이다. 불규칙한 모의영역을 원활히 나타낼 수 있도록 곡선좌표계를 사용하는 여타 모형들과 달리 유한유소법을 이용하여 수치해를 구하며, 따라서 x, y 좌표축을 사용하는 데카르트 좌표계를 사용하여 지배방정식을 나타낸다. 분산응력의 유 무에 따른 수치결과를 Rozovskii의 $180^{\circ}$ 만곡수로 실내실험 자료와 비교하여 개발 모형을 검증한다.

지오멤브레인(geomembrane)과 다른 토목섬유, 즉 지오텍스타일 또는 GCL, 사이의 interface 전단거동을 특성화하는 strain-softening 모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에 제안된 모델은 일차적으로 smooth 지오멤브레인과 textured 지오멤브레인을 대상으로 실시한 직접전단 시험결과를 대상으로 구축되었다. 시험을 통해 측정된 변위-전단응력의 관계는 strain-softening 현상를 고려하기 위해서 최대점이 발생하는 위치를 기준으로, pre-peak과 post-peak 영역으로 나누어 분석을 실시하였다. 실험결과를 토대로 구축된 모델식은 원 자료와의 비교를 통해 본 모델의 유효성을 검증하였다. 비교 결과 높은 연직 응력에서 약간의 차이를 보이긴 하지만, 대체적으로 실험 결과와 구축된 모델을 이용한 역계산의 값이 좋은 일치를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 특별히 연직응력이 낮은 단계에서는 높은 일치를 보였는데, 이를 통해 제안된 식이 매립지의 최종 cover와 같이 상재 연직하중이 작은 경우에 지오멤브레인이 포함된 interface의 전단 거동에 대한 합리적인 구성 방정식이 될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the small strain shear moduli ($G_{max}$) of uncemented and gypsum-cemented sands are evaluated by performing a series of bender element tests on the specimens reconstituted in the calibration chamber. It is observed from the experimental results that $G_{max}$ of crushed-sands is about 35~50% smaller than that of natural sands. The increase in gypsum content is observed to result in an exponential increase of $G_{max}$ value. It is also shown that the relative density has more significant effect on $G_{max}$ of cemented sand, whereas the vertical effective stress has more significant influence on $G_{max}$ of uncemented one. A prediction equation for cemented sand is expressed as a function of gypsum content as well as void ratio and vertical effective stress.

A new constitutive model is proposed for normally consolidated clays. A main skeleton of the proposed model is based on the concepts of the incremental stress-strain theory by Roscoe and Poorooshasb. The equation of the undrained stress path is formulated by introducing the new pore pressure parameter(C), which is the slope of the linear line in the plot of the normalized pore pressure against the stress ratio. Once the stress increment along the constant stress ratio path (followed by untrained stress path) is know, the volumetric strains are calculated from the linear characteristics between void ratio and logarithm of the mean normal stress for any stress ratio. Then the incremental shear strains are successfully predicted by applying the flow rule derived in the modified theory by Roscoe and Burland.

Vertical drain has usually been used to accelerate the consolidation of soft clay deposits with high moisture content. Busan thick clay deposits are subjected to artesian pressure from an aquifer in sand and gravel layers. However, effect of artesian pressure existing in drainage-installed soft ground on consolidation behaviors is not well known. This paper investigates the consolidation behavior of drainage-installed soft ground at the Nakdong river estuary with artesian pressure and without artesian pressure. A series of one-dimensional large size column test was carried out to find out the consolidation characteristics of clay. Test results indicated that total settlement of clay with artesian pressure was higher than that without artesian pressure because effective stress decreased due to upward flow. Dissipation rate of excess pore water pressure delayed and excess pore water pressure did not fully dissipate in clay layer with artesian pressure. Undrained shear strength of clay ground with artesian pressure was lower than that without artesian pressure.

In this study, the design methods of self-supported retaining wall with cement treated soil constructed by vertical mixing method (trencher mixing method, V-DCM), which are using in domestic and foreign field, are investigated, and the characteristics of it are presented with comparing the results of numerical analysis with the drainage and construction conditions. The results indicated that the method 1 (total stress analysis) is the most aggressive, and method 2 (effective stress analysis) and method 3 are similar in the internal stress, and the stress and the horizontal displacement are effected on the soil type and drainage conditions in backfill of the wall. Also, in the case of the design combined with numerical analysis the method 1 can be applied, in that of the traditional design without the analysis the method 2 or the method 3 can be used. Finally, if the numerical analysis is only conduct, the tensile stress in excavation base and in boundary of the wall and the original ground have to be considered in the numerical analysis method.

When a saturated clay is sampled in an undisturbed manner from a bore hole, the sample extends vertically and shrinks horizontally under undrained conditions due to stress release. The conventional consolidation test specimen is trimmed from the expanded sample so that its diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the consolidation test ring, and this test procedure does not reproduce the actual consolidation behavior. The measurement of sample extension was conducted by means of overcoring method showed that the extension strains were 1 to 2%. To simulate the in-situ consolidation behavior, we proposed the consolidation test method that uses a specimen with a slightly smaller diameter than the inside diameter of consolidometer so that the specimen expands laterally to the inside of the ring.

The implicit finite difference program was developed to evaluate the relationship between time and consolidation ratio within the zone of vertical drain effective radius. In the evaluation, the excess pore water pressure was considered to dissipate in two directions, namely, vertical and radial flow direction. To calculate subsoil stress increments in the soil due to multi-step embanking, the foundation soil was assumed to be an isotropic and homogeneous elastic medium and the initial excess pore water pressure was estimated by using Skempton's parameters whose condition is plane strain and elastic phase of pore pressure response within the soft ground. Regarding to the settlement estimation, immediate and primary consolidation settlements were calculated. The secondary or delayed consolidation settlement was not considered. Numerically calculated excess pore water pressure and settlements were similar to the measured data in situ. Thus, this method can be used to predict the time-consolidation ratio of each layer treated by vertical drain method.
