Although the Granular Compaction Pile (GCP) has been used for many decades, several failures still occur such as bulging, shear failure and other phenomena, indicating that more refined study is needed. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the stress concentration ratio for both area replacement ratio and shear strength of soil through literature review and numerical analysis. Numerical analysis using the finite element program ABAQUS has been performed for the composite ground with GCP. The behavior stress and settlement of composite ground have been analyzed for both the area replacement ratio (10~40%) and shear strength of soil (25~75 kPa). As a result of numerical analysis, as the soil strength and area replacement ratio increased, the average stree related coefficient and stress concentration ratio for depth tended to decrease, and stress related coefficient of upper layer tend to decrease equally, but the stress concentration ratio decreased. Therefore, tendency that the value in th upper layer differs from the value in other depths was displayed. Care should be taken because it is possible to make mistakes in designing the entire composite ground with the values measured in the upper layer. Also, the settlement reduction factor was compared with the existing equation and numerical analysis. And the value obatined from the existing equation and numerical analysis are similar.

In this study, an experimental study in sand ground that was prepared by raining method was performed for modeling the bearing capacity behavior of strip footing above a cavity. The critical range of bearing capacity of the strip footing affected by underground cavity was investigated by comparing results between experiment and theory. The size of the critical region depends on several factors such as footing shape, soil property, cavity size and cavity shape. The ultimate bearing capacity was more influenced by the depth of the underground cavity than the eccentricity of the underground. In addition, an underground cavity influences on not only the decrease of the bearing capacity, but also the differential settlement of a strip footing.

Because the inclination and crack of stone pagoda structure are caused by the depth difference of soft soil ground and ground subsidence in weak zone, a long-term conservation of stone pagoda structure is difficult. But it is insufficient to analyze the behavior of stone pagoda structure considering soft soil ground in our country. Therefore, we find the structural effect happening in stone pagoda structure by analyzing mechanically a specific of soft soil ground and carry out structural analysis and structural modelling of stone pagoda structure that considers soft soil ground by discrete element method.

Seismically induced settlement exceeding dam freeboard may lead to a dam failure. The prediction of settlement is important also because it is also reported to be strongly related to longitudinal crack width and depth, which are critical indices used for safe evaluation of dams. The empirical correlation derived from numerical simulations is most often used. In this study, two-dimensional dynamic nonlinear analyses are performed using representative CFRD and ECRD fill dams. A total of 20 recorded motions are used to account for the influence on ground motion intensity and magnitude. The calculated crest settlements are correlated to four ground motion parameters, which are peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), Aria Intensity ($I_A$), and magnitude. It is demonstrated that using ground motion parameters in addition to PGA can significantly increase the prediction accuracy.

Deep soft ground in mouth of Nackdong river requires to be analysed with prediction method concerning characteristics of secondary consolidation from the beginning because it causes excessive settlement due to time-dependant secondary consolidation characteristics. This study investigated characteristics of extended settlement by conducting one-dimensional theory, elasto-plastic model and visco-elasto-plastic model as well as analyzing long-term measuring data observed over 2,000 days. According to one-dimensional theory and elasto-plastic model, there is not definite correlation between height of embankment and depth of soft ground while visco-elasto-plastic model showed similar result of settlement to that of long-term measuring data. Consequently it is suggested that applying visco-elasto-plastic model to developing deep underground place as studied area on predicting extended settlement before construction prevents economic loss and delay during process by preparing secondary consolidation characteristics.

To reduce the bump of bridge/earthwork transition area caused by the settlement of the soft ground during public use, the road agencies have been continuously overlay or repavement at those areas. In this study, the vehicle-mounted ground penetrating radar with 1GHz air-coupled antenna was used to estimate the settlement amount of those areas for nine bridges built in the soft ground. Results shows that it is possible to effectively measure the thickness of pavement up to a depth of 1 m on an asphalt road with ground penetrating radar technology that can inspect under the road surface. Distinctively deformation of the road surface, the variation in the thickness of the pavement measured at bridge/earth transition areas is equivalent to a minimum of 50 mm and a maximum of 600 mm, and there is a risk of cavity in the ground. The difference in the increased pavement thickness is 50~250 mm for each bridge connection, which may cause the differential settlement. In this study, by using the result of the ground penetration radar, a plan for improving drivability and maintenance of the settlement is suggested and applied to the field.

Many ground subsidence accidents have happened in Korea. The accident was caused by the subsidence and leakage of the deteriorated sewage pipe. This study aims to establish the empirical data of the ground penetration radar(GPR) detection for ground subsidence. A test bed was also manufactured for the same purpose. The GPR detection variables are embedment depth and horizontal distance of embedded cast iron pipe and expanded polystyrene(EPS). From the detection results, the EPS embedded by a depth of 1.5m was difficult for detection. The EPS closely embedded to the cast iron pipe within a 0.5m distance had a very strong cast iron pipe signal. Therefore, the detection was impossible. This study developed an image processing program, called the GPR image processing program(GPRiPP), to process the GPR detection results. Its major function is the gain function, which amplifies the wiggle wave signal. Compared to the existing programs, the GPRiPP is capable of showing a similar image processing performance.

급속한 도시화 및 이상강우의 발생은 우수 량을 증가시켜 하류부의 천변주변과 저지대에 대한 침수위험을 증대시키므로 풍수해 예방을 위해 각 시 도 지자체에서는 이러한 지역을 방재지역으로 지정하여 방재대책을 수립하고 있다. 본 연구는 침수피해 위험이 높은 광영동 하광마을을 연구대상지역으로 선정하여 상습침수구역을 토대로 현장조사를 실시하였다. 현장조사에서 과거 1988년 6월 택지 조성이 준공도면과 현 주택가 침수지역 침하량 분석결과 택지조성 당시보다 대략 0.4m이상 침하가 발생한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 우수관거에 대해 침하조사를 실시하였으며, 그 결과 1998년 우수관거 정비 사업을 실시하여 현재 관거침하 및 관거유실은 발생하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 현재 관가 실태는 우수발생시 약간의 토사유입으로 인해 부분적으로 퇴적된 구간이 조사되었으나, 일반적인 모래 질이며 퇴적깊이는 5~15cm정도이고 이는 강우발생시 우수 관거의 일반적인 토사 퇴적 침식 작용의 현상으로 판단되었다. 외수침수는 해안도로 지반침하와 조성당시의 조위에 의한 계획 고는 적용되었으나 하천 계획홍수위의 미적용으로 인해 강우발생시 조위 상승과 하천유출과의 관계에 있어 상습침수지역의 천변 해안도로로 외수유입이 발생 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 과거 침수실적을 바탕으로 기상조건 및 조위조건 등을 고려하여 HEC-HMS모형을 적용하여 9개의 소유역으로 분할된 유역에서 홍수유출량을 분석하였으며, 외수위 조건을 SWMM모형에 적용하여 우수관거 검토를 실시하였다. 그 결과 대상구역 조위 상승으로 우수관거의 내수배제가 되지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 분석들로 외수유입 방지대책으로 조위영향 및 하천 계획홍수위를 고려하여 20년, 100년 빈도별 외수위를 산정하고 방지대책으로 도로 숭상 및 파라펫 설치방안을 검토하였다. 내수침수 방지대책으로 저류조+배수펌프+게이트펌프 또는 관로신설+게이트펌프를 설치, 복합방식 (지하저류조+승수로(도로 또는 산지)+게이트펌프장)설치, 도수터널계획 방안을 제시하여 상류지역에 발생하는 유출량을 유출부로 직접 배출하거나 침수영향이 없는 타 지역으로 연계 방류하여 총 유출량을 저감시키는 방안을 제시하였다. 이와 같은 여러 방안을 제시함으로써 관련 지자체에서는 보다 효과적인 침수방지 대책계획에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This experimental study has been carried out to investigate the reduction in side friction of open caisson using air-jet method. For this study, the large size caisson having air-pockets was used. This caisson was used as substructure of bridge. By using air-jet method, settlement time was decreased and even settlement was reached to the depth which conventional methods could not be. We found that the side resistance decreases to less then half the expected value. In addition to these merits, the air-jet method can result in self-weight settlement without applying additional load. Also the open caisson damage caused by blasting can be prevented with this method.
