This work investigated the geotechnical characteristics of an embankment constructed with a mixture of soil and waste lime. The waste lime was a by-product of the manufacture of Na₂CO₃ at a near by chemical factory in Incheon. Field measurements were take three years after construction, and included geotechnical tests such as field density measurement, plate loading testing, dynamic cone penetration testing, and field CBR measurement. The results indicate that the geotechnical characteristics of waste lime mixtures are suitable for embankment works.

현재 대부분 사용되는 지하매설물용 뒤채움재는 다짐공법을 많이 사용하고 있으며, 실제로 이러한 방법은 부적절한 다짐으로 인해 침하 및 내구성 저하로 인해 파손을 초래하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 문제를 해결 할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로 유동성 뒤채움재를 이용할 수 있다. 유동성 뒤채움재는 초기 유동성, 시간에 따른 자기 강도 발현 무다짐공법 적용 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장발생토사, 정수장슬러지 및 폐타이어분말 등 재활용 재료를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재의 기본물성을 평가하였다. 각각의 재활용재료에 대한 입도 및 비중을 평가하였고, 최적배합설계를 결정하였으며, 모형 시험과 유한요소 해석을 위한 기본 물성값을 위해 일축압축시험, 삼축압축시험, 공진주시험 등을 수행하였다. 최적배합설계를 산정하는 과정에서 수행한 실험중 대표적인 시험으로 자가수평능력 및 자기다짐등에 필요한 유동성을 판단하는 Flow시험(ASTM D 6133) 결과 기준으로 정한 20cm이상의 값을 얻을 수 있었으며 일축압축강도의 경우 시공 후 유지 보수가 용이한 강도인 $3.0kg/cm^2{\sim}5.6kg/cm^2$이하로 설계하였으며 28일재령 일축압축강도 결과 $3.15{\sim}3.74kg/cm^2$라는 유지보수에 적당한 결과값을 나타내었다. 이 배합이 현장에서 사용이 가능하다는 것으로 판단하고 현장모형시험과 유한요소해석를 통하여 현장에서 사용하였을 때 관의 변형과 관에 작용하는 하중변화를 확인하고 현장모형시험과 유한요소해석 간의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 현장 모형 시험은 현장과 비슷하게 제작된 모형을 이용하였으며 최대한 현장과 비슷한 조건에서 뒤채움재를 타설과정 중과 타설이 완료된 상태에서 7일 양생 후 하중재하와 같이 두가지 경우에서 수직 수평토압, 관의 수직 수평변위, 관의 종단변형을 측정하였다. 유한요소해석 프로그램은 Midas GTS를 이용하여 실시하였으며 관의 변형률, 유효응력을 측정하여 규명하였다.

The pressuremeter test can be used as an effective tool for evaluating stiffness of lower pavement layers including subgrade and subbase. At present, the most practical and applicable methods for evaluation of the stiffness of the subgrade and subbase are PBT and CBR in Korea. However, these methods have inherent drawbacks and large variabilities of test results themselves. In this study, an evaluation method and a test procedure that can be used for decision of pavement stiffness using pressuremeter were developed. The obtained results representing stiffness of the subgrade and subbase can replace PBT's soil reaction value k and CBR in design methods. It is found that the developed procedure based on the pressuremeter can provide an effective correaltion between the PBT's soil reaction value k and PMT's reloading modulus ($E_R$).

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the static behavior of a horizontally curved prestressed concrete (PSC) girder. A 30m long full-scale curved PSC girder with 80.0m radius is fabricated by a portable curved form system. Deflections and concrete strains at the middle of span were measured. The obtained experimental results have been compared to those from F.E.A. analysis. When a initial crack developed, the applied load was 1.3 times the service design load and the vertical deflection at the middle of span satisfied the requirement for a live load state according to the Korea Bridge Design Specifications (2010). Also, the ductility of the full scale specimen satisfied the limit in the Specifications (2010). To verify the experimental results, a numerical F.E. analysis was carried and confirmed that the data were similar with results from the test above. The horizontally curved PSC girder fabricated on site was found to have enough strength for safety under and after construction.

반복하중을 받는 현장타설말뚝에 대한 두 가지의 주요 관심사항은: (a) 지지력의 변화 가능성 그리고 (b) 누적변형량에 의한 기초의 가능성 저하이다. 이러한 인자들에 대한 평가를 위하여, 모형점토지반에 설치된 24개의 모형현장타설말뚝에 대한 정적 및 동적경사재하시험(12개의 압축 및 12개의 인발)을 수행하였다. 경사반복압축재하시험에서는 반복하중에 의한 지지력의 변화가 무시할 정도였으며, 누적변형량은 송전철탑의 기능성에 영향을 줄수도 있을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나, 경사반복인발시험에서는 과도한 누적변형이 발생하게 되어 결과적으로 현장타설말뚝주변과 점토사이의 접촉면적이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 접촉면적의 감소 결과, 반복경사인발하중에 의해서 경사인발지지력의 현저한 감소가 일어난다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 정적경사인발지지력의 50에서 70퍼센트에 해당되는 반복하중을 받는 대부분의 현장타설말뚝들은 인발되었다.

In this paper, the empirical relations of skin friction and end bearing resistance with the results of site investigation in soft rock are proposed through the analysis of bi-directional pile load tests of rock socketed drilled shafts performed at large offshore bridge foundations and high-rise building projects (13 test piles in 4 projects). The site investigation and drilling for bi-directional pile load tests were performed at the centers of test piles, and f-w curves for skin friction and q-w curves for end bearing were plotted based on load-transfer measurements. From the above curves, the empirical relations of skin friction and end bearing resistance with the results of site investigation depending on the mobilized displacement are determined by multiple regression analysis and compared with previous studies. Since the f-w and q-w curves of rock-socketed piles in Korea show hardening behavior according to mobilized displacement, the developed empirical relations by the mobilized displacement are more reasonable than those of previous studies which could not consider the mobilized displacement and suggested the ultimate capacity with unconfined compressive strength only. Particularly, the developed equations correlated with unconfined compressive strength show the best correlations among the equations correlated with other parameters.

An ultra-high strength prestressed prismatic beam of 100 MPa in compressive strength was developed by increasing the water-tightness of concrete by utilizing centrifugal molding processes without adding expensive admixtures. The centrifugal prismatic PSC beam developed as the superstructure of the avalanche tunnel was constructed on a rahmen bridge in a small local river. In this study, the centrifugal prismatic beam was compared and analyzed based on the results of measurements made through static load tests and the results of numerical analysis of the target structure. The common load-carrying capacity and safety of the rahmen bridge were evaluated. The static·dynamic load tests and finite element analysis results of this bridge were similar, and it was confirmed that the behavior of the centrifugal prismatic beam was well simulated. All centrifugally formed square beams that make up the composite rahmen bridge were evaluated to secure sufficient load carrying capacity under the design live load, and structural reliability was proven by ensuring safety.

For the design of spread foundation and the stability evaluation, we compared and analyzed it for theoretical, empirical bearing capacity formulas, and various settlement computation formulas, by conducting the plate bearing test at the site of A and B, which consisted of gneiss weathered soil. In addition, we considered the effective method of stability evaluation by carrying out the plate bearing test carried out on the ground consisted of weathering soil of gneiss. Consequently, it was found out that the allowablebearing capacity by the theoretical formula of Terzaghi was too excessive in comparison with the result of the plate bearing test and the Terzaghi-Peck method, which was used widely domestically in designing the spread foundation. It was more effective for a stable design. As a result of the plate bearing test carried out, on the ground consisted of weathering soil. It was found that reviewing the stability by the bearing capacity calculated with load-settlement curve. It is evaluated in a safer side than the point of view of the settlement.

Demand on pile foundation is rapidly increasing, as an investment for the social overhead capital getting enlarged in Korea. Steel piles are in general use in construction due to their workability and superior durability. But the recent global rise in steel price led the engineers to seeking for an economical alternative that still has equivalent characteristics as compared with the steel pile. In this regard a composite pile, in which steel suitable to resist the tensile stress are used in the upper part of the pile, while less expensive PHC pile is adopted in the lower part of the pile where axial stress should prevail, was studied and both pile loading test and load transfer test were performed for the piles which have been constructed for the foundation of a bridge in Korea. These test results and some theories already issued were compared, and it was shown that p-y nonlinear analysis gave rise to similar results.
