The soft ground in the southwest coastal area composed of marine clay is greatly influenced by sediment composition, particle size distribution, particle shape, adsorption ions and pore water characteristics, tide and temperature. In addition, the geotechnical properties are very complex due to stress history, change in pore water, dissolution process and gas formation. In this study, the physical and mechanical properties of the soft ground were evaluated through field tests and laboratory tests to investigate the strength increase characteristics according to consolidation on the soft ground in the southwest coast. In addition, in order to understand the consolidation behavior of soft ground such as subsidence, pore water pressure, horizontal displacement of soil by embankment load, measuring instruments such as pore water pressuremeter, settlement gauge, inclinometer and differential settlement gauge was installed, and a piezocon penetration test was carried out step by step to confirm the increase in shear strength of the ground. Through this, it was confirmed that the shear strength of the ground is increased according to the stages of filling. In addition, by evaluating the properties of consolidation behavior, strength increase and consolidation prediction by empirical methods and theories were compared to analyze the characteristics of strength increase rate and consolidation behavior in consideration of regional characteristics.

This Paper applied a simple strength parameter averaging method to double layered systems consisting of the strong sand layer overlying the soft clay deposit. This study derived a formula which defines a critical depth as the strength parameters, and used the correction parameter, $\alpha$ to reduce an error of the strength parameter averaging method. The results of the method were presented in the form of dimensionless charts and were compared with the results of several solutions proposed by Satyanarayana & Grag, Sreenivasulu, and Meyerhof & Hanna. The results of the proposed method coincided with the method of Meyerhof & Hanna and the results obtained from FLAC. But the Satyanarayana & Grag method and the Sreenivasulu method overestimated the bearing capacity. Consequently, the bearing capacity of foundation on sand layer overlying soft clay layer can be approximately estimated by using the proposed dimensionless charts.

To recover basic functions of river such as water control, irrigation, environment, culture, a national river improvement project, the four river restoration projects were currently planned and under construction in Korea. This project is designed to preserve cultural assets and ecosystem from flooding, for that reason, environmentally friendly materials of construction are strongly emphasized. In this study, the soil and cement admixtures are developed. And, the compaction test and the unconfined compressive strength test to evaluate applicability of probiotics as environmentally friendly materials are conducted the soil and cement admixtures. As a result, the probiotic culture was not active in completely dried specimen to obtain accurate mixing proportion. It indicates that the probiotics cannot influence on the development the soil and cement admixtures. A further research will focus on the effect of response between polysaccharide environmentally friendly soil stabilizer and natural specimen.

The method of using organic acid is more environment-friendly for it improves the strength of the ground. The method of proliferating microbes makes soil particle bonded, finally improves the strength of the ground and decreasing permeability. Although there has been the research on the effect of strength increasing, there has never been a research on the evaluation of field application. In this paper, through the light drop weight test, the dynamic cone penetration test, the field density test, the variation of strength was investigated in the mixed ground with organic acid for 56 days. As the results of the field test, it was found that the strength and stiffness of the ground increased with organic acid, and that through SEM-EDS, the precipitation of calcium carbonate made by specified microbe obviously increased with organic acid material and so the ground was improved. Therefore, the sustainable development of this method needs to be analysed more in the future.

현재 통신용 강관전주는 상, 하로 2 분할된 강관을 조립하여 대부분 사용하고 있다. 콘크리트전주에 비해 가볍고, 길이가 짧기 때문에 도심지 등 협소한 지역에서도 시공이 가능하며 특히 소규모 인력으로 시공이 가능하다. 하지만 전주의 단면이 작아 별도의 기초 보강을 하지 않고서는 지반의 지지력이 부족하여 전주가 기울어지거나 전도되는 현상이 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 또한 운반을 용이하게 하기 위하여 2 분할한 강관의 조립 부분에서의 꺽임 현상이 발생하여 도시 미관을 해치고 있는 실정이다. 통신전주의 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 전주 자체가 보유한 강도를 발휘할 수 있도록 충분한 지반지지력이 확보되어 있어야 한다. 강관전주의 휨강도 실험 및 현장 지반지지력 실험을 통해 충분한 지반지지력을 확보할 수 있는 공법을 도출해 내고, 현재 강관전주의 지반지지력 보강을 위해 사용하는 콘크리트블록 설치 방식이 아닌 시공 편리성 및 안정성을 개선한 기초콘크리트 방식을 제시하고자 한다.

다량의 점토 퇴적물로 구성된 연약지반은 대단히 큰 압축성과 낮은 강도, 높은 함수량등의 물리·역학적 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 기초지반으로서의 불리한 특성 때문에 이를 대상으로 하는 각종 토목건설공사에서는 지반개량이나 안정처리가 반드시 선행되어야 할 과제이다. 이를 위해 종래에는 샌드드레인, 페이퍼드레인 등의 물리적인 공법에 의한 지반개량이 주류를 이루었으나, 최근에는 생석회나 시멘트계 고화재를 이용한 화학적 안정 처리공법이 크게 주목을 받고 있어 이에 대한 연구가 활발한 상황이다. 본 연구는 연약 지반 안정처리에 대한 방안을 모색하기 위하여 김해 지역에 분포하는 점토 퇴적물을 대상으로 각종 광물재료를 이용한 반응실험을 통하여 반응생성물 조사와 압축강도시험 등을 행하여 그 결과를 검토하였다. 우선 연약지반의 고화에 이용 가능한 생석회, 석고, 플라이에쉬, 고분자폴리머, 시멘트 등을 사용하여 점토와 혼합한 고화실험을 행하였으며, 이에 대한 물성 및 반응생성물을 검토하였다. 이러한 각 재료를 점토에 혼합한 후 PVC관에 모울딩하여 양생시켜 실험하였다. 그 결과, 석고 및 소석회에 비하여 생석회의 경우가 비교적 큰 압축강도를 나타내고, 균열발생 빈도도 낮았다. 생석회의 경우에 Gehlenite, Hillebrandite 등의 생성물질이 검출되었다. 그러나 포틀란트 시멘트와 혼합한 경우가 강도가 가장 크게 나타났다. 반면에 고분자폴리머만 사용한 경우는 강도가 매우 낮았다. 따라서 시멘트를 일정 비율로 배합한 다른 재료를 첨가한 실험을 행하여 그 물성을 검토하였다 물질의 화학적인 특성을 고려하여 포졸란반응이 잘 일어날 수 있을 것으로 생각되는 여러 재료를 선정하여 많은 조합에 대한 실험을 행하였다. 생석회, 석고, 고령토, 규조토, 제올라이트 등의 여러 재료를 여러 조합으로 첨가하여 실험한 결과, 시멘트와 석고를 혼합한 것이 비교적으로 높은 압축강도를 나타내었다. 그리고 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 연약점도의 고화에 최적인 조합과 배합비를 위한 실험을 재차 실시하였으며, 실험 후의 물성과 함께 반응생성물에 대한 검토도 행하여 그 결과를 발표하고자 한다.

In this paper, through experimental research, the period when rock bolts exert support effects is presented as grout strength and through numerical analysis, the rock bolt pull-out behavior according to ground conditions and strength reduction factors is analyzed. As a result, it is determined that rock bolts exhibit their reinforcing effect at a grout strength of 5 MPa (cured for 18 hours). The influence of the boundary interface strength reduction factor was found to be significant for rock bolt displacement in weak ground conditions, for shear stress between grout and ground in highly elastic ground conditions, and for grout stress in all ground conditions. These findings are expected to contribute to the establishment of specific standards for rock bolt testing and numerical analysis, and to facilitate improved design and implementation of rock bolt reinforcement.

Modern methods for designing IGM(Intermediate Geomaterial) socketed drilled shafts require knowledge of the compressive strength and modulus of the IGM. However, the weathered IGMs at many sites prohibit the recovery of samples of sufficient length and integrity to test cores in either unconfined or triaxial compression tests. Since rational design procedures usually require values of compressive strength, surrogate methods must be employed to estimate the compressive strength of the IGM. A surrogate method considered in this study was Texas cone penetrometer tests which were performed at several sites in North Central Texas. Correlations of Texas cone penetrometer tests and compressive strengths of cores from these formations are provided in the paper. In order to develop the relationships between Texas cone penetrations and side and base resistance of IGM socketed drilled shafts, three filed load tests were conducted in the same sites. Based on the field study and literature reviews, a design method for IGM socketed drilled shafts using Texas cone penetration test was proposed.

In this study, to quantitatively evaluate the strength characteristics of the inflatable liquid used for the recovery of soft ground or partial settlement, the inflatable liquids were prepared by dividing the inflatable capacity and the strength characteristics were analyzed according to the conditions. The experimental group was divided into two groups: relatively high expansion group and low expansion group. The specimens were prepared by controlling the volume of 10 ~ 30% of the maximum expansion volume, and the strength of the specimens were evaluated. The compressive strength of the high expansion group and low expansion group was about 2.1 times.
