In general, the values of shear strength properties of rubble stones have been given quoting from Japanese empirical recommendation when breakwater and offshore structures of port and harbor facilities were designed in Korea. but by large-scale triaxial test(specimen diameter 30cm, specimen height 60cm) carried out in Korean Water Resources Corporation in 2001, for the first time in korea, shear strength properties of rubble stones are evaluated directly. These are compared with the Japanese empirical recommendation. Therefore, the value of shear strength properties of rubble stones have been usually given quoting from Japanese empirical recommendation without laboratory or in-situ tests, but the results of this study state that shear strength properties of rubble stone can be rationally determined and shear behavior characteristics of rubble stone can be invesgated by large-scale triaxial test

Considerable uncertainties are included in ground properties used for tunnel designs due to the limited investigation and tests. In this study, a back analysis was performed to find optimal ground properties based on artificial neural network using both face mapping data and convergence measurement data. First of all, the rock class of a study tunnel is determined from face mapping data. Then the possible ranges of ground properties were selected for each rock class through a literature review on the previous studies and utilized to establish more precise learning data. To find an optimal training model, a sensitivity analysis was also conducted by varying the number of hidden layers and the number of nodes more minutely than the previous study. As a result of this study, more accurate ground properties could be obtained. Therefore it was confirmed that the accuracy of the results could be increased by making use of not only convergence measurement data but also face mapping data in tunnel back analyses using artificial neural network. In future, it is expected that the methodology suggested in this study can be used to estimate ground properties more precisely.

Terzaghi proposed a 2D formula for arching based on the assumption of a vertical sliding surface induced in the upper part due to the downward movement of a trapdoor. The formula was later expanded to consider 3D tunnel excavation conditions under inclined sliding surfaces. This study further extends the expanded formula to consider the effects of different ground properties and inclined sliding conditions in the transverse and longitudinal directions considering anisotropic ground conditions, as well as 3D tunnel excavation conditions. The 3D formula proposed in this study was examined of the induced vertical stress under various conditions (ground property, inclined sliding surface, excavation condition, surcharge pressure, earth pressure coefficient) and compared with the 2D Terzaghi formula. The examination indicated that the induced vertical stress increased as the excavation width and length increased, the inclination angle increased, the cohesion and friction angle decreased, the earth pressure coefficient decreased, and the surcharge pressure increased. Under the conditions examined, the stress was more affected at low excavation lengths and by the ground properties in the transverse direction. In addition, The comparison with the 2D Terzaghi formula showed that the induced vertical stress was lower and the difference was highly affected by the ground properties, inclined sliding conditions, and 3D tunnel excavation conditions. The proposed 3D arching formula could help to provide better understanding of complex arching phenomena in tunnel construction.

An in-hole seismic method, which has been developed for measuring dynamic properties of subsurface materials, was improved in terms of cost effectiveness and practicality. The upgraded features include the motorized triggering system rather than the manual prototype version in the previous studies and a connecting rod between source and receiver in the module. The probe, thus, can be used for the field measurements of soil properties as well as those of rocks. The performance of the probe has been evaluated through extensive cross-hole tests and in-hole tests at various sites.

An in-hole seismic method has been developed to meet the requirement of economical testing cost and practicality in engineering practice to measure dynamic soil properties. The in-hole prove developed herein is small and light enough to be fit in three-inch boreholes and to be handled with bare hands. And author modified the existing equipment for the convenient purpose. In addition, the best damper suited to in-hole test was also developed. The performance of the source has been evaluated through extensive cross-hole tests and in-hole tests at various sites.

For the substantiation and verification of studies related to the construction of a levee using riverbed soil, real-scale levee construction and experimental studies are essential. One of the most important factors in the experimental study is the reproducibility of the multiple levees with the same initial conditions. Quantitative analysis of the reproducibility should be presented. In this study, a number of physical properties (specific gravity test, sieving test, liquid-plastic limit test, compaction test, on-site Density test) for multiple embankments built with fine-grained bed soil was obtained. The collected data then used to obtain the possibility of reproducing levee through statistical analysis to suggest a process of indicating a numeric initial condition of the real-scale test. As a result of statistical analysis to verify the aforementioned process, it was confirmed that it was possible to quantitatively evaluate the reproducibility of the construction under the same conditions of embankments. This is expected to be a basic data for a full-scale embankment test using riverbed soil including other soil based real-scale tests.

지반과 구조물의 동적 상호작용은 건설분야에서의 중요한 현상으로, 특히 지반을 통해 인근구조물로 전달되는 진동은 구조물 자체의 구조적인 문제 뿐 아니라 그 속에 거주하는 사람이나 설비에 대한 안전성 또는 사용성에 나쁜 영향을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 진동을 저감시키기 위해, 지반내에 정상적인 진동전파를 방해하는 구조물을 시공하여 진동 저감효과를 만들어 내는 방법을 연구하였다. 이러한 연구의 발상은 다음과 같다. 충진지반에서의 지반진동의 진폭을 해석하면서 진동의 크기가 기저암의 위치에 따라 큰 영향을 받는 것을 알았고 이로부터 지반내에 인위적인 층을 만들수 있다면 지반진동의 크기를 변화시킬 수 있지 않을까라는 생각에서 본 연구를 시작하였다. 또한 지반 내에서의 정상적인 진동의 전파를 방해하기 위한 차진 구조물을 만드는 방법은 연약지반의 강도중대 또는 차수의 목적으로 주로 사용하고 있는 그라우팅공법의 사용이 가능할 것이므로, 기존의 그라우팅현장에서 만들어진 지반의 물성치들을 사용하여 경계요소법에 의한 수치해석적 방법을 택하였다. 본 연구에서는 그라우팅공법의 시공성에 관한 것은 포함되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 지반의 구조를 경사구조와 수평지반구조라는 두가지 특징적인 경우에 대해 검토하였다. 이중 경사진 기저암층을 가진 지반의 경우에는 기저암에서 진동의 비대칭적인 반사에 의해 수평기저암에서와는 달리 기저암의 한쪽에서 다른쪽에 비해 큰 진동이 발생한다. 그라우팅층의 효과를 검토하기 위한 연구의 순서는 일정주파수의 조화진동에 대해 먼저 여러 가지 크기의 그라우팅층과 함께 블록으로 볼 수 있는 크기의 그라우팅층에 대해 진동저감효과를 해석하였고, 이를 통해 보강층의 소요크기 및 최적위치를 구하였다. 사용된 물성치는 실제 지하철 건설현장에서 나타난 지반물성치 및 그라우팅후의 지반강도 및 전단파전파속도를 이용하였다. 또한 마지막에서 검토된 기차하중에 대한 효과를 알아보기 위해 사용된 기차운행에 의한 지반가속도도 역시 측정된 값을 사용하였다. 그러나 당시의 기차운행속도가 낮아 정상적인 운행에서는 더 큰 값이 나올 것으로 판단되었으나 측정된 값을 그대로 사용하였다.

샌드파일 주변지반은 교란으로 스미어 영향과 베수저항에 의해 압밀지연 현상이 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이와 같이 샌드파일 주변지반의 압밀특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 지반물성치에 따른 예측치와 계측을 통한 실측치에 대한 비교검토를 실시하였다. 압밀계수 특성인 압밀소요기간은 수평과 연직압밀계수를 동일하게 평가할 경우 예측과 실측치가 매우 유사한 결과를 보여주는 것으로 나타났다. 압축지수 특성인 침하량 분석결과 예측치에 비해 60~90%정도로 작게 평가되는데 이것은 공동확장이론에 의한 초기 방사(측)방향 압축을 고려할 경우 유사한 값을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 샌드파일 주변지반에서의 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 스미어 배수저항뿐 아니라, 초기 방사(측)방향 압축을 고려한 개량특성으로서의 평가도 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
