딜라토메터를 이용한 현장 수평압밀계수 추정법의 국내 점토지반 및 실트질 지반에의 적용성을 평가하기 위해 국내 점토지반과 실트지반에 대하여 각각 딜라토메터 관입시험 및 소산시험을 수행하였다. 소산시험 결과로부터 DMT-C법 [p$_2$-log t법과 C-√t법]과 DMT-A법을 이용하여 수평압밀계수를 추정하여 상호 비교하였으며 다른 실험방법에서 얻어진 결과들과도 함께 비교하고 평가하였다. 비교대상으로는 동일지반의 현장 피에조콘 소산시험으로 얻어진 수평압밀계수 및 불교란시료에 대하여 수행된 로셀압밀실험 및 일차원 실내압밀실험 결과가 함께 이용되었다. 연구결과 C-√t법을 제외한 p$_2$-log t법과 DMT-A법은 국내 점토지반에 대하여 상호일치하는 결과를 줄 뿐 아니라 피에조콘 결과와도 비교적 잘 일치하는 수평 압밀계수를 측정하였으며 다른 결과와 비교할 때 신뢰성 있는 결과를 주었다. 그러나 실트질 지반에 대하여는 p$_2$-log t법만이 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigates the response of structures to tunnelling-induced ground movements in clay ground, varying tunnel excavation condition (tunnel depth and diameter), tunnel construction condition (ground loss), and tunnel ground condition (soft clay and stiff clay). Four-story block-bearing structures have been used because the structures can easily be characterized of the extent of damages with crack size and distribution. Numerical parametric studies have been used to investigate of the response of structures to varying tunnelling conditions. Numerical analysis has been conducted using Discrete Element Method (DEM) to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The results of structure responses from various parametric studies have been integrated to consider tunnel excavation condition, tunnel construction condition, and tunnel ground condition and provide a relationship chart among them. Using the chart, the response of structures to tunnelling can easily be evaluated in practice in clay ground.

We performed laboratory spudcan penetration and extraction tests considering various geometries. Jumunjin sand, representative standard sand in South Korea, and kaolinite were used for uniform sand and clay layers, respectively. The measured vertical bearing and pull-out capacities were compared to empirical equations for shallow foundations. The results showed good agreement between measured and calculated bearing capacity from laboratory test and previous study at shallow depths. The effect of spudcan geometry is shown to depend on site condition. The influence of a sharp spigot is not significant in clays. The slope of the spudcan surface is shown to influence the pull-out capacity. The characteristics of spudcan penetration and extraction behavior considering various geometries can be a useful reference for determining spudcan geometries.

In order to find out the load bearing behavior of sand and clay which sustain three types of shallow footing, finite element analyses were performed. Failure zone of sand which sustain strip footing was affected by relative density of sand whereas, failure zone of clay was not affected by soil strength and it was similar to the failure zone which is considered in theory. Considering the shape of load-settlement curves obtained by numerical analyses, punching shear failure can be seen in loose sand and ultimate bearing load can not be seen in dense sand whereas, yielding point can be seen in clay. Ultimate bearing loads for sand predicted by theory were greater than those obtained by numerical analyses and ultimate bearing loads for clay predicted by theory were similar to those of numerical analyses. Ultimate bearing loads determined by 1 inch settlement criteria were slightly less than those of numerical analyses.

Many researchers reported that artesian pressure exists in thick soft ground of Busan Nakdong river estuary. Artesian pressure in soft ground could affect rate of consolidation, settlement and drainage capasity of prefabricated vertical drain(PVD). This paper investigated consolidation behaviors of soft ground with partially penetrated PVD subjected to artesian pressure. Laboratory tests with 1-dimensional large column equipment and their numerical analyses were carried out. Test results showed that the consolidation settlement of clay ground with artesian pressure was higher than that without artesian pressure. Due to artesian pressure, the dissipation rate of excess pore water pressure was reduced in soft ground with artesian pressure, especially at bottom part of clay ground. Numerical results were in good agreement with experimental test results.

지표수 수자원은 다른 형태의 수자원에 비하여 경제성은 우수하나 환경 훼손, 시공간적 변동성에 대한 취약성, 각종 수질 위협요소에 노출되는 단점 을 가지고 있다. 지표수 수자원과는 달리 Aquifer Storage Transportation and Recovery (ASTR) System을 이용한 지하저수지는 수자원의 안전한 확보, 환경문제 등의 측면에서 새로운 대안으로 제시되고 있다. '청정지하저수지연구단'에서 연구하고 있는 '대규모청정지하저수지'는 피압대수층에 담수를 주입하여 형성된 담수체를 수자원으로 이용한다. 본 연구는 피압대수층 주입정 및 양수정 운영에 따른 지반영향을 연구하였다. 과거 지반변형을 고려하지 않은 무분별한 피압대수층의 지하수 개발로 태국, 중국 등지에서 심각한 지반침하를 야기하였으며 이에 대한 대책으로 인공함양이 이루어진바 있다. 피압대수층 상부에 위치한 점토층은 지반변형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치며 점토층의 변형 혹은 파괴 시 지하수 이용 및 인간의 활동에도 영향을 끼칠 수가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 주입 및 양수가 점토층에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 지반변형을 허용 범위 내로 국한시키기 위해서 피압대수층에 가할 수 있는 최대 수위변화량을 산정하는 데 있다. 양수로 수두가 감소하는 경우 유효응력 증가에 따른 지반침하가 우려되며, 주입으로 수두가 상승하는 경우 지반파괴가 야기될 수 있다.

연약한 점토 지반에 안벽을 축조하고 매립하는 경우, 안벽의 기초로서 케이슨 기초공법이 종종 쓰이고 있다. 케이슨 기초는 안벽의 연직 하중을 지지층에 전달할 뿐만 아니라, 매립하중에 의한 연약 점토의 횡방향 소성 유동에 대하여는 매우 효과적인 공법으로 호안공사에서 그 사용 빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 반면 매립하중에 의해 점토지반에서 장기간에 걸쳐 발생하는 압밀침하에 대해서는 아무런 역할을 하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 케이슨 기초의 배면에 다수의 강관 배수공을 설치함으로써 과잉간극수압의 횡방향 소산을 촉진시켜 압밀 시간을 단축시키는 \"매립측 연약점토 압밀촉진 케이슨 기초공법\"을 제안하였다. 이 새로운 케이슨 공법의 압밀촉진 효과를 분석하기 위하여 2차원 압밀방정식의 해석해를 유도하였다. 연구결과, 등방성 점토에서 압밀촉진 케이슨 사용시 ξ=0.1인 단면에서 평균압밀도 50%, 90%에 이르는 시간이 기존 케이슨을 사용한 것에 비해 각각 약 7배, 3.5배 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, a series of numerical analyses on soft clay ground improved by PVD were carried out, in order to investigate the consolidation promotion effect considering PVD width and surcharge pressure. In the numerical analyses, an elasto-viscoplastic three-dimensional consolidation finite element method was applied, in which the applicability of numerical analyses could be confirmed comparing with consolidation behavior simulated at the laboratory. And, through the results of the numerical analyses, consolidation behaviors of soft clay ground with elapsed time was elucidated, together with the effects of PVD width and surcharge pressure.

Mechanical behavior of composition pound improved by sand compaction pile (SCP) with low replacement area ratio could be more significantly affected by mechanical interaction between sand piles and clays than that of clay ground improved by SD or SCP with high replacement area ratio. It is essential to elucidate the mechanical interaction in the improved clay ground, in order to accurately estimate behavior in reducing settlement of the improved ground and increasing strength of clays. In this paper, through a series of model tests of composition ground improved by SCP with low replacement area ratio, each mechanical behaviors of sand piles and clays in the composition ground during consolidation was elucidated, together with stress sharing behavior between sand piles and clays.
