Korea has about 70% of its land classified as the mountain area, which has led to cut-slope being the result of substantial road and railway construction. However, there is currently a lack of research about the seismic retrofit design of a slope, even though many earthquakes have recently occurred at home and abroad. In this study, in order to investigate the stabilizing effect of piles against sliding during an earthquake, a series of 1 g shaking table tests and pseudo-static analyses were carried out. As a result, the stabilizing effect of piles against sliding during an earthquake was verified by the 1 g shaking table tests and the most effective result from the pseudo-static analyses was that the installation of the piles on the central part of the slope, where the failure surface included piles unlike the lower part and upper part of the slope. Furthermore, when the pile was installed on the central part of the slope, the change of the safety factor depending on the distance between the center of two piles was evaluated.

Shaking table model tests were performed to reproduce the dynamic behavior of a gravity quay wall and a pile-supported wharf which were damaged during the Kobe earthquake in 1995. The results of the model tests were compared with field measurements and with the results of previous model tests. The displacements of the model quay wall were only one third of that of the prototype, whereas the deformation state of the model was similar to that of the prototype. The displacements of the model pile-supported wharf were about two thirds of that of the prototype and the locations of the maximum moments at the model pile were similar to the buckling locations of the prototype piles.

본 연구에서는 토목구조물에 대하여 상사율을 고려한 1g 진동대실험(Shaking Table Test)과 전산해석을 수행하여, 실제 지진하중(단주기, 장주기, 인공지진)에 대한 토목구조물의 안정성을 분석 및 평가 하였다. 상사율에 따른 지표면 가속도 거동을 비교 분석하기 위하여 여러 가지 상사율을 적용한 실험을 수행하여 측정된 결과와 전산해석 결과를 상호 비교 분석하여 상사비에 따른 실험결과의 적절성을 평가하였다. 상사율을 1/50과 1/50보다 크게 조성하여 진동대실험과 전산해석 결과에 의하면, 지표면 가속도의 결과는 모두 유사한 결과를 보였다. 상사율 1:50 이상인 단면의 경우 진동대실험과 전산해석 결과 사이의 유사성이 떨어지는 것으로 볼 때, 1:50 이하인 상사단면이 실제 현장에서의 거동을 모사하는데 더 높은 신뢰성을 제공하는 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to characterize shearing strength of geotextile bag, connecting materials and gabion. A largescale shaking take tests were conducted to assess kinetic characteristics of gabion-geotextile bag retaining wall. Based on the results of large-scale shaking table test, dynamic characteristics of gabion-geotextile bag retaining wall structure against acceleration, displacement, and earth pressure were also analyzed. The increments of dynamic active earth pressure were determined to be (0.376-0.377)H at 1:0.3 slope and $(0.154-0.44)g_n$ earthquake acceleration, and (0.389-0.393)H at 1:1 slope, suggesting that the increments tend to rise as the slope decreases.

액상화되기 쉬운 모래지반 위에 축조된 제방의 지진시 거동을 조사하고 액상화 경감을 위한 대책공법의 효과를 비교하기 위하여 12가지 경우에 대해 진돈대 시험을 수행하였다. 본 시험에는 널말뚝, 자갈배수재, 모래다짐 말뚝과 강관말뚝 등의 대책공법이 적용되었다. 진동대 시험에 사용된 투명토조의 길이는 194cm이고 폭은 44cm 그리고 높이는 60cm이다. 기초지반은 포화된 모래이며 수중침강법을 적용하여 상대밀도 약 30%로 조성되었다. 이 포화된 느슨한 모래지만 위에 15cm 높이의 제방이 경사 1:1.5로 축조되었다. 진동대 시험시 제방과 기초지반의 거동을 측정하기 위해서 간극수압계 12개, 가속도계 4개 및 LVDT 2개가 시험모델에 설치되었다. 진동대의 크기는 2m$\times$2m이며, 진동시의 입력가속도는 0.1g에서 시작하여 최고 0.4g까지 증가시켰다. 본 모델에 적용된 공법 모두가 일반적인 진동법위에서 액상화 발생을 억제시키는데 유용한 것으로 증명이 되었으며, 그 중에서 모래다짐말뚝이 액상화로 인한 피해를 감소시키는데 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 각각의 대책공법에 대한 최적 배치안의 본 연구에서 제시되었다.

액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압 소산 특성을 파악하기 위하여 포화된 수평 모래지반에 대하여 1-g 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 진동대시험에는 주문진 표준사와 영종도 세사를 사용하였으며 상대밀도를 dir 20~30% 사이가 되도록 조성하였다. 간극수압계, 가속도계 그리고 LVDT 등으로 시험중의 지반거동을 계측하였으며, 4Hz의 sine 파를 0.15g에서 5초간 5회 반복하여 작용시켰다. 진동대시험을 분석한 결과 액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압의 소산속도는 그 지반의 투수성뿐 아니라 과잉간극수압 소산시 입자의 침강거리와 직접 관련이 있는 지반의 침하량에도 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 과정을 침강모래 이론으로 모델링하였을 때 입자의 침강속도와 투수계수 사이의 비례 관계는 침강모래 이론에서의 가정한 것과는 달리 모래의 종류에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 Terzaghi의 압밀이론으로는 액상화 후 과잉간극수압의 소산과정을 적절히 모사할 수 없었다.

This paper presents the investigation of dynamic behavior of a single pile in dry sand based on 1g shaking table tests. The natural frequency of soil-pile system was measured, and then a range of loading frequency was determined based on the natural frequency. Additionally, the studies were performed by controlling loading accelerations, pile head mass and connectivity conditions between pile and cap. Based on the results obtained, relatively larger pile head displacement and bending moment occur when the loading frequency is larger than the natural frequency of soil-pile system. However, the slope of the p-y curve is smaller in the similar loading frequency. Also, it was found that inertia force like input acceleration and pile head mass, and relation of the natural frequency of soil-pile system and input frequency have a great influence on the slope of dynamic p-y curve, while pile head conditions don't.

This paper adresses the shaking table tests with 1/100 scaled model followed similitude law for OOdam main designing section to understand nonlinear behavior characteristics of concrete dam body by ground motion. As earthquake wave, Hachinohe and El Centre waves were used and acceleration and displacements are measured to analyze behaviors of dam body. For maximum ground acceleration range $(0.3\~0.9 g)$, the results showed linear behavior regardless of maximum 9round acceleration and secured safety of structure. To analyze the behavior of dam after tension cracking, 3 cm-notch was placed at the critical section of over-flowing section. As results of applying Hachinohe wave(0.8 g), Even though tension cracks were formed at over-flowing section by Hachinohe wave(0.8 g), it showed that the dam is stable for supporting upper stream Part of water tank of dam.

Improving the stability of the ground in seismic design requires an understanding of the dynamic behavior of the ground under seismic loads. The shaking table test is an important methodology to provide this understanding. This study aimed to assess the influence on boundary conditions, as they are among the most important factors affecting the test. This was achieved by testing the influence of boundary conditions on the seismic responses of model slopes at different locations in the testing apparatus. A model slope was fabricated at different locations in a laminar shear box, and the influence of the boundary conditions was then measured. Each model slope was created at 100, 50, and 25 cm from the soil wall, and sine wave seismic loads of the same size were inputted. The results confirmed that the acceleration was amplified by the influence of the boundary in the case of the slope being located 25 cm from the boundary, whereas the influence of the boundary conditions decreased when the slope was located at 50~100 cm.

Recently, earthquakes have occurred frequently in worldwide. These earthquakes cause various forms of natural and physical damage. In particular, liquefaction in which the ground shows liquid-like behavior causes great damage to the structure. Accordingly, various liquefaction damage reduction methods are being studied and developed. Therefore, in this study, a method of reducing liquefaction damage in the event of an earthquake applicable to existing structures was studied using the sheet pile method. The 1-G Shaking table test was performed and the ground was constructed with Jumunjin standard sand. A two-story model structure was produced by applying the similitude law, and the input wave applied a sine wave with an acceleration level of 0.6 g and a frequency of 10 Hz. The effect of reducing structure damage according to various embedded depth ratio was analyzed. As a result of the study, the structure settlement when the ground is reinforced by applying the sheet pile method is decreased by about 71% compared to when the ground is not reinforced, and the EDR with minimum settlement is "1". In addition, as the embedded depth ratio is increased, the calculation of the pore water pressure in the ground tends to be delayed due to the sheet pile. Based on these results, the relationship with structural settlement according to the embedded depth ratio is proposed as a relational equation with the graph. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data in developing sheet pile methods applicable to existing structures in the future.
