In this study, a non-open cut method using a round or square pipe which has been commonly employed in Korea was experimentally evaluated and the behavioral features resulting from the friction while the pipe is penetrated into the ground was identified through the scale model test. To that end, a test device was fabricated by type of penetration pipe, by which the surface displacement caused by surrounding friction resistance was monitored. To simulate the settlement and heaving by excavation stage, the test was conducted based on generalized friction condition and surface displacement and the result therof was compared and analyzed, considering the type of penetration pipe.

There are a number of risks in constructing tunnel-structures. Therefore, the precise and rapid observation about inside deformation of the tunnel is required to prevent these risks from occurring and to secure safety. But currently, the real situation is that the crown settlement, cavity deformation and ground surface settlement rely upon the universal mensuration which uses total station or various kinds of measuring instruments. Recently, according to improvement and progress of measuring technology, three-dimensional laser scanning is used as the method to provide data for maintaining structures. It solves the reliability problem of measuring method for the transformational volume of existing structures, provides data that enables to judge visually by three-dimensioning the shape change of structures and makes it possible to deliberate speedy countermeasure. And it can also be efficiently used in the structure maintenance and field measurement.

Estimation of passive earth pressure is an important factor in anchor block, temporary retaining wall and support block of raker that resist lateral earth pressure. In practice, due to ease of use, it is common to estimate the earth pressure using the theory of Coulomb and Rankine, which assumes the failure plane as a straight line. However, the passive failure plane generated by friction between the wall surface and the soil forms a complex failure plane: a curve near the wall and a flat plane near the ground surface. In addition, the limit displacement where passive earth pressure is generated is larger compared to where the active earth pressure is generated. Thus, it is essential to calculate the passive earth pressure that occurs at the allowable displacement range in order to apply the passive earth pressure to the design for structural stability reasons. This study analyzed the mobilized passive earth pressured to various displacement ranges within the passive limit displacement range using the semi-empirical method considering the complex failure plane.

지형은 지표물질의 변위 혹은 변형, 물질의 화학적 구조가 변함에 따라 변화한다(좌등구 외, 1990). 이러한 지형 프로세스는 물순환계와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 지표공간을 이루는 대부분의 지형은 지상에 공급된 강우의 유출과정에서 형성된 것이라고 해도 과언이 아니다. 특히 곡저 또는 곡두는 유수의 배출통로인 동시에 유출특성에 기인한 각 종 지형프로세스에 의해서 형성된다(은전 외, 1996). (중략)

지형은 지표물질의 변위 혹은 변형, 물질의 화학적 구조가 변함에 따라 변화한다(좌등구 외, 1990 ). 이러한 지형 프로세스(geomorphological processes)는 물순환계와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 지표공간을 이루는 대부분의 지형은 지상에 공급된 강우의 유출과정에서 형성된 것이라고 해도 과언이 아니다. 특히 곡저 또는 곡두는 유수의 배출통로인 동시에 유출특성에 기인한 각 종 지형프로세스에 의해서 형성되므로(은전 외, 1996). 사면에서 일어나는 지형 프로세스를 이해하기 위해서는 사면에서의 물의 유출과정에 대한 명확한 규명이 전제가 되어야 한다.

Wind power systems have gained much attention due to the relatively high reliability, good infrastructures and cost competitiveness to the fossil fuels. Advances have been made to increase the power efficiency of wind turbines while less attention has been focused on structural integrity assessment of structural sub-systems such as towers and foundations. Among many parameters for integrity assessment, the most perceptive parameter may be the induced horizontal displacement at the hub height although it is very difficult to measure particularly in large-scale and high-rise wind turbine structures. This study proposes an indirect displacement estimation scheme based on the combined use of inclinometers and accelerometers for more convenient and cost-effective measurements. To this end, (1) the formulation for data fusion of inclination and acceleration responses was presented and (2) the proposed method was numerically validated on an NREL 5 MW wind turbine model. The numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the performance of the propose method according to the number of sensors, the resolution and the available sampling rate of the inclinometers to be used.

There have been a number of observed precursors of volcanic activities- such as volcanic earthquake, surface inflation, specific volcanic gas emission, temperature of hot spring- at Mt. Baekdusan since 2002. We identified the increase of the volume of magma chamber beneath Mt. Baekdusan as we observed an inflation trend of vertical and horizontal surface displacement around Cheonji caldera lake by using precise leveling data from 2002 to 2009. The surface displacement trend changed to deflation in 2010, and the trend changed to inflation again after a while. Utilizing the data of inflated surface (46.33 mm) on the northern slope of Mt. Baekdusan from 2002 to 2003, we calculated the volume change of magma chamber beneath the Mt. Baekdusan. The volume change was about 0.008 $km^3$ ($7.7-8.0{\times}10^6m^3$) from 2002 to 2003. It indicated that a new magma (0.008 $km^3$) injected to the magma chamber 5 km below Mt. Baekdusan.

Backfill grouting and realistic convergence distribution were not properly considered in previous studies on 2D numerical analysis of a shield TBM tunnel. In this study, a modeling method was suggested to cope with this problem by considering a realistic convergence distribution and proper properties of backfill grouting. To this end, the influence of gap parameter and depth of rock cover on volume loss and composed of ground volume loss around tunnel excavation and surface volume loss were analyzed with a single layer of weathered soil. As a result, most of surface settlements were occurred immediately after excavation. Additional, as depth of rock cover and gap parameter increased, the influence range of surface settlement curves obtained from 2D numerical analyses became broader than a suggested theoretical equation. Therefore, it is inferred that gap parameter should be applied based on load distribution ratio and the property of backfill grouting properly considered for the estimation of the precise behavior of a shield TBM tunnel in 2D numerical analysis.

Many electric poles in the softground have been collapsed due to external load. In this study, several tests were performed with variation of numbers and depths of anchor blocks to find effects of anchor blocks on stability of concrete electric poles through earth pressure and displacement analysis. 1.50m depth of anchor block seems appropriate among three kinds of depths. The 2.25m depth of anchor block makes larger displacement due to disturbance caused by excessive excavation. The deeper anchor block, the less earth pressure of passive zone, an active earth pressure gets larger. When two anchor blocks were installed, displacement at top pole decreased 43.8% and 55.6% at ground when 1 anchor block was installed.

Displacement caused by tunneling is difficult to predict since it is affected by many factors such as ground condition, excavation method and supplementary method of reinforcement. In this study, horizontal inclinometer was employed to monitor ground settlements above a tunnel face before and after the excavation. Monitoring results were analyzed to predict the preceding displacement and settlement of the surface structures. The result of the analysis can be used to establish a proper counter measure which keeps the serviceability of the surface structures. Based on the analysis of the monitoring result, ground properties of the site were deduced and the influence of the tunnel excavation on the settlement of the foundation above the tunnel is analyzed.
