해안구조물 설치시 기초지반의 안정성 해석을 위한 파랑에 기이한 액상화 메카니즘을 과잉간극수압(excess pore pressure) 현상과 관련하여 논의하였다. 과잉간극수압 발생 메커니즘에 있어서 두 가지 형태, 즉 변동과잉간극수압 (Oscillatory excess pore pressure) 및 잔류과잉간극수압 (Residual excess pore pressure) 각각에 기인한 액상화의 특성을 구명하였다. 또한, 과잉간극수압 및 해저지반의 액상화 가능성에 대한 평가공정을 제시하였는데 이는 모형실험과 현장관측자료에 의해 그 적용성이 검증되었다. 이러한 평가공정(Assessment Procedures)은 투수성 해저/기초 지반의 액상화를 추정하는데 이용될 수 있다. 해안구조물 기초 설계 및 해저 지반의 안정성 평가시 액상화의 가능성 또는 과잉간극수압의 적절한 평가.고려가 무엇보다 중요하다고 사료된다.

파, 해저지반 및 해안 해양구조물과의 관계는 해안공학뿐만 아니라 지반공학 분야에서도 중요한 이슈중의 하나이며, 파랑에 의한 해저지반 내부의 압력 및 응력의 파악은 다양한 해안 해양 구조물의 기초 설계 및 해저 연안 지반의 불안정성 검토에 있어서 중요한 과제이다. 해저 지반의 불안정에 대한 문제 중, 파랑에 의한 해저지반의 액상화는 기존의 연구를 통하여, 두개의 메커니즘이 존재한다는 것이 밝혀졌으며, 이는 각각 파랑에 의해 해저지반 내부에 발생하는 과잉간극수압의 변동 특성 및 잔류 특성에 따른 것이다. 이 연구에서는 중복파에 의해 해저지반 내부에 에 발생하는 과잉간극수압에 대하여 수치해석을 하였으며, 발생하는 과잉간극 수압 중 잔류 과잉간극수압의 발생 특성과 실험 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

에너지자원(석유, 천연가스, 전기) 이송과 정보전달(해저광케이블)을 위한 다양한 형태의 해저 매설관이 해저면에 설치되어 운영이 되고 있다. 이들 매설관은 지진 또는 해저사면의 유실과 같은 자연재해로 인해 파괴되는 일들이 빈번하게 발생되고 있다. 그 외 태풍 등에 의해 발생되는 파랑하중에 의해서도 이들 매설관이 종종 파괴되는 일이 발생되기도 한다. 태풍 등에 의한 파랑하중은 해저지반에 과다한 과잉간극수압을 발생시켜 지반 액상화를 유발 세굴을 발생시키는데 이로 인해 매설관 하부에는 과도한 인장응력이 유발되어 매설관의 파괴 문제가 야기된다. 만약 석유수송 해저매설관이 파괴되면 경제적?산업적 측면에서 직접적인 피해 이외에도 해양환경에 미치는 영향은 매우 크다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 파랑하중에 의한 해저매설관 주변 지반의 거동 분석 및 안정성 평가에 관한 연구가 요구된다.

The mechanism of wave -induced stresses and liquefactions in a seabed is studied theoretically and experimentally, A constitutive equation which is governing wave -induced effective stresses and porepressures in an unsaturated seabed under the hydraulically anisotropic conditions is developed. It is learned that the effective stresses and excessive porewater pressures are governed by the conditions of waves and sedimentary layers, Especially the magnitude of effective stresses and the depth of disturbed zone induced by waves is controlled by the degree of saturation of the unsaturated seabeds.

In the case of the seabed around and under gravity structures such as submerged breakwater is exposed to a large wave action long period, the excess pore pressure will be significantly generated due to pore volume change associated with rearrangement soil grains. This effect will lead a seabed liquefaction around and under structures as a result of the decrease in the effective stress, and eventually the possibility of structure failure will be increased. The study of liquefaction potential for regular waves had already done, and this study considered for irregular waves with the same numerical analysis method used for regular waves. Under the condition of the irregular wave field, the time and spatial series of the deformation of submerged breakwater, the pore water pressure (oscillatory and residual components) and pore water pressure ratio in the seabed were estimated and their results were compared with those of the regular wave field to evaluate the liquefaction potential on the seabed quantitatively. Although present results are based on a limited number of numerical simulations, one of the study's most important findings is that a safer design can be obtained when analyzing case with a regular wave condition corresponding to a significant wave of the irregular wave.

The interaction among wave, seabed and marine structure is an important issue in coastal engineering as well as geotechnical engineering. Understanding variations of stresses and pore water pressures generated in seabed induced by waves is important for civil engineers who have to design the foundation for various marine structures and verify the instability of seabed. In the matters on seabed instability, particularly, in the case of wave-induced liquefaction of seabed, it is turned out there are two different mechanisms through previous studies. These are caused by the transient or oscillatory nature and the residual or progressive nature of excess pore water pressure generated in seabed, respectively. In this study, it is analyzed dynamic characteristics of soils sampled in seabed around the port of Kochi, Japan, through the dynamic triaxial tests and the residual excess pore water pressure in the seabed induced by seepage force of wave. In addition, the calculated residual excess pore water pressures were compared with the field data observed in the port of Kochi.

Seabed beneath and near coastal structures may undergo large excess pore water pressure composed of oscillatory and residual components in the case of long durations of high wave loading. This excess pore water pressure may reduce effective stress and, consequently, the seabed may liquefy. If liquefaction occurs in the seabed, the structure may sink, overturn, and eventually increase the failure potential. In this study, to evaluate the liquefaction potential on the seabed, numerical analysis was conducted using the expanded 2-dimensional numerical wave tank to account for an irregular wave field. In the condition of an irregular wave field, the dynamic wave pressure and water flow velocity acting on the seabed and the surface boundary of the composite breakwater structure were estimated. Simulation results were used as input data in a finite element computer program for elastoplastic seabed response. Simulations evaluated the time and spatial variations in excess pore water pressure, effective stress, and liquefaction potential in the seabed. Additionally, the deformation of the seabed and the displacement of the structure as a function of time were quantitatively evaluated. From the results of the analysis, the liquefaction potential at the seabed in front and rear of the composite breakwater was identified. Since the liquefied seabed particles have no resistance to force, scour potential could increase on the seabed. In addition, the strength decrease of the seabed due to the liquefaction can increase the structural motion and significantly influence the stability of the composite breakwater. Due to limitations of allowable paper length, the studied results were divided into two portions; (I) focusing on the dynamic response of structure, acceleration, deformation of seabed, and (II) focusing on the time variation in excess pore water pressure, liquefaction, effective stress path in the seabed. This paper corresponds to (II).

Wave-induced response, liquefaction and stability of unsaturated seabed are studied. The unsaturated seabed is modeled as a fluid-filled polo-elastic medium. The coupled process of fluid flow and the deformation of soil skeleton is formulated in the framework of Biot's theory. The resulting governing equations are solved using a semi-analytical method to evaluate the stresses and pore water pressure of unsaturated and multi-layered seabed. The semi-analytical method can be applied to calculate a pore pressure and the stresses of in anisotropic inhomogeneous seabed. The results indicate that the degree of saturation influences mostly on the magnitudes of a pore pressure and the stresses of unsaturated and multi-layed seabed. Based on the pore pressure and stresses in seabed, the analysis on the possibilities of liquefaction and shear failure was performed. The results show that the maximum depth of shear failure occurrence is deeper than the maximum liquefaction depth.
