Braced excavation for a new building was carried out at a very close proximity of an existing tall building of T.hick columns are supported by indict.ideal spread footings on sand layer The excavation was planned to reach far below the footing level of the existing building. To assess the foundation performance and stability of the existing building, the behavior of 9round subjected to loss of confinement from excavation was analytically studied using finite element method. Field instrumentation was also conducted to monitor the actual ground responses during excavation. Based on these studies, various remedial measures weere taken to minimize the adverse effects to the building, and excavation was successfully completed. This paper presents the results from the analytical studies and field monitoring, and measured and measured responses at different stages of excavation.

This is a study on rectangular-shaped passive row piles in inclined sand-ground by model tests. The experiment controlled the angle of inclination of ground and induced the ground destruction. We also measured the behavior of row piles, by adjusting the shape, position and spacing of piles. As a result, we confirmed the earth pressure, the lateral resistance, and the effect of depressing on the ground variation working on passive pile. The effect of B-type pile of which the front width is wide is bigger than that of H-type pile of which the side width is wide. We can find out the failure angle of slope, the shared force of pile and soil by using the lateral resistance graph based on slope angle.

우리나라 산사태의 대부분은 사면의 깊이가 얕은 상태에서 발생하며, 지형적 지질적 및 강우조건에 따라 각기 다른 사면 파괴의 형태를 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IFDM의 기법을 이용하여 강우침투에 의해 발생할 수 있는 불포화지반으로의 침윤전선의 진행, 간극수압의 시간적 발생과정 등을 포함하는 침투해석을 수행하였다. 침투해석으로 얻은 강우침투 결과를 hyperbolic 응력, 변형을 모델에 조합하여 시간별로 응력, 변형해석을 할 수 있는 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델에 의한 해석예로써 용인군 창리 산사태 지역을 선택하여 기존의 한계평형법과 본 논문에서 제안한 모델의 결과를 비교하였다.

This paper dealt with numerical analysis of sand drain considering the smear effect around drain wells and discontinuous deformation behavior due to difference in rigidity between drain materials and adjacent clayey soils. Biot's equation was selected as governing equation coupled with MODCAM (Modified Cam-clay) model or EVP(Elasto-Viscoplastic) model as constitutive equation. The validity as well as the accuracy of the method developed by author was checked by comparing the proposed method with those by Siriwardane and Ghaboussi using joint element. The FEM analysis developed in this study was applied to both 2-dimensional model foundation and actual foundation. the result of which proved to be satisfactory.

Time Domain Refletometry, or TDR, is a remote sensing electrical measurement technique that has been used for many years to determine the spatial location and nature of various objects, especially in the United States of America and Australia at mining industry. Since early on 1990, the TDR techniques have been applied to the geotechnical engineering such as : deformation measurement of rock slope and landslide, monitoring of ground water content and ground water level change, investigation of ground contamination and its movement. The first application of this technique, in 1996, to the domestic area is to determine the possibility of ground settlement caused by subsidence from abandoned underground mines at the Tongri and Gosari in Gangwon-d. In this paper, through the results of analysed deformation data between conventional measurements and the TDR, it was concluded that the TDR technique is a useful instrumentation method for the prediction of ground deformation.

Model tests were performed to investigate the mechanism of lateral earth pressure on a buried pipe, which was installed in a plastic flowing soil mass undergoing lateral movement. On the basis of failure mode tests, the equation of lateral earth pressure to apply Maxwell's visco-elastic model was proposed to consider the soil deformation velocity. Through a series of model tests of differential soil deformation velocity, lateral earth pressure of theoretical equation was compared with experimental results. When lateral soil movement was raised, the lateral earth pressure acting on buried pipe increases linearly with the soil deformation velocity. It shows that the lateral earth pressure on buried pipe is largely affected by soil deformation velocity. When plastic soil movement was raised, lateral earth pressure predicted by theoretical equation showed good agreement with experimental results. Also, coefficient of viscosity by theoretical equation had a good agreement with direct shear test results.

This paper presents the results of a study that was performed to evaluate the characteristics of deformation under repeated loadings in unbound geomaterials of pavements. Two important parameters, resilient and permanent deformation were estimated using the repeated load triaxial test. In addition, the effects of different stress state and environmental conditions with various materials were evaluated. Due to the locking mechanism and resiliency of unbound geomaterials, a consistent increase in permanent deformation on unbound geomaterials was observed and the asymptotic condition is slightly reached. In conclusion, the results show that selected models and parameters are satisfactory to predict permanent deformations after a certain number of loadings.

Free-field ground motion during earthquake is significantly affected by the local site conditions and it is essential for the seismic design to perform the site specific ground response analysis. In this paper, the procedures of site specific ground response analysis were suggested based on the Korean seismic guideline and the review of state of the art technologies. The concept of ground response analysis was introduced, and the techniques of obtaining soil data for one dimensional equivalent linear analysis which include site investigation planning, field and laboratory testing techniques, deformational characteristics of soils at small to large strains, and site characterization techniques combining field and laboratory test results, were suggested. Finally, the case study was performed at Inchon area following the suggested procedure.

본 논문에서는 반복하중이나 지진하중을 받는 지반-구조물 시스템의 설계에 필수적인 변수인 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비에 대한 연구를 국내에 존재하는 비점성토 지반에 대하여 수행하였다. 국내 퇴적토지반 및 풍화토지반에서 채취된 자연시료와 입도분포를 조정하여 제작한 시료를 포함하여 총 60개의 시료에 대하여 20kPa에서 500kPa의 구속응력 범위에서 공진주 시험을 수행하고, 이를 조립질 사질토, 실트 및 실트질 모래, 풍화토의 3개의 그룹으로 나누어 결과를 정리하였다. 저변형률 영역의 변형특성인 최대전단탄성계수와 최소감쇠비에 대하여 구속응력의 영향을 확인하였다. 최대전단탄성계수를 예측하는 경험식을 3개의 그룹별로 제안하였다. 최소감쇠비는 구속응력에 따른 분포영역을 제시하였다. 세립분이 적은 조립질 사질토의 경우, 비선형 변형특성이 구속응력의 영향을 뚜렷이 받고 있어 이를 주요한 변수로 고려하여 대표곡선과 분포영역을 제안하였다. 구속응력의 영향을 적게 받는 실트 및 실트질 모래와 풍화토는 구속응력에 관계없이 대표곡선과 분포영역을 제안하였다. 제안된 각 시료의 대표곡선과 기존의 Vucetic-Dobry와 Seed-Idriss가 제안한 곡선과 비교하였다. 본 논문의 연구결과는 국내지반의 비점성토 지반에 대한 지진해석이나 동하중을 받는 시스템의 해석시 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

In Korea, around one - third of the country is occupied by granite, and granite weathered soils are widely distributed. Most of the research on this soil has been performed using reconstituted specimens because of the extreme difficulty of undisturbed sampling due to the sensitive particle structures. Therefore, the comparisons of deformational characteristics, which is expressed in terms of shear and Young's moduli and damping ratio, obtained from the undisturbed and reconstituted specimens are important for the reliable understanding of soil behavior. In this study, the resonant column and torsional shear tests were performed on granite weathered soils in Korea, and the deformation characteristics of undisturbed and reconstituted soil on granite weathered soils were evaluated and compared.
