The paper deals with two bearing capacity problems of shallow footing under combined loading. The first is a FEM study of shallow strip footing on two-layer clay deposits subjected to a vertical, horizontal and moment combined loading, while the second is a centrifuge study of shallow rectangular footing on dry sand under double eccentricity. The FEM results revealed that the existence of top soft layer sensitively affects more on horizontal and moment capacity than vertical capacity for cases of footing on soft clay overlying stiff clay. Practical design charts are presented to evaluate bearing capacities of footing for various combinations of the ratio of the depth of the upper layer to the footing width and the ratio of undrained strength of the upper layer to that of the lower. The centrifuge tests indicated that current design practice of calculating failure load of rectangular surface footing under double eccentricity underestimates the centrifuge loading test data. This trend is more marked when the eccentricity becomes larger. The decreasing trend in failure load with an increase of double eccentricity is rather uniquely expressed by a single curve, using a newly defined resultant eccentricity and the diagonal length of the footing base.

In order to estimate the viscous effects of clay over a wide range of strain levels, we confirmed the performance of a viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model by simulating cyclic undrained triaxial tests to determine the cyclic strength and deformation characteristics of natural marine clay. The viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model was then incorporated into an effective stress-based seismic response analysis to estimate the effects of an intermediate clay layer on the behavior of sand layers. Seismic response was simulated by the cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model created with data recorded at Rokko Island, Kobe, Japan. The results show that a cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model can provide a good description of dynamic behavior including viscoelastic effects, within a small strain range.

In this study, two large pile load tests were performed in the deep sand gravel deposit of Nakdong river basin so that the characteristics of the load transfer was identified. The fully instrumented rectangular barrette pile in the size of $1.5\times3.0m$ and the circular bored pile of the diameter 1.5 m were placed into the ground below 50 m. Under the applied loads of 2,400 tonf and 4,000 tonf, the test results of the load transfer showed the portion of 83% and 93% of the applied loads on the barrette pile and the bored pile, respectively, were supported by the skin friction along the pile shaft. It was revealed that the most of these skin friction mobilized in sand layer underlying clay layer having N-value more than 30 and that the friction per unit area of the bored pile was larger than the friction of barrette pile. However, if embedded in the stiff sand graval layer, the both piles were proven to be sufficient for using as the friction piles.

충적층 구성 물질 중 포화된 실트 혹은 점토층은 상대적으로 낮은 전기비저항 값을 나타낸다. 낮은 전기비저항 값은 이 지층을 투수성이 높은 대수층으로 오인하는 문제를 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 극복하고 충적층 내 포화된 실트 혹은 점토층과 모래 혹은 자갈 대수층을 구분하기 위해 전기비저항 조사와 함께 유도분극 조사를 활용하는 방안을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 우선, 실내 실험을 통해 충적층 구성 물질별 전기비저항(resistivity)과 충전성(chargeability)을 조사하였고, 비분극 전극을 활용한 현장 수직 전기비저항/유도분극 조사를 수행하였다. 실내 실험을 통해 모래/점토 혼합층에서 점토함량이 증가함에 따라 비저항은 낮아지고, 충전성은 높아짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 강변여과 현장에서 전기비저항/유도분극 조사를 수행하였다. 자료의 정량적 해석을 통해, 낮은 비저항과 낮은 충전성을 갖는 지층이 상대적으로 투수성이 우수하고 지하수 산출성이 높은 충적 대수층에 해당되는 것으로 최종 해석하였다.

본 연구에서는 점토질 모래(SC)를 대상으로 실내시험을 수행하여 물리적 특성, 압밀/투수 특성, 응력-변형 특성을 분석하고, 세립분 함유량에 따라 모래에서 점토로 흙의 역학적 성질이 변화되는 전환 세립분 함유율을 도출하였다. 또한 현장 적용성 평가를 위해 실제 과다침하로 인하여 문제가 발생된 연약지반 개량 현장의 계측자료를 수집하여 실내시험 및 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 도출된 침하특성과 현장에서 계측된 실제 침하특성을 비교·분석하여 SC의 압밀 대상층 적용성 평가를 수행하였다. 실내시험 및 압밀해석 결과 SC는 세립분 함유율 25%이상에서 사질토에서 점성토로의 역학적 특성 변화가 나타났으며, 점성 토로의 역학적 특성 전환은 점토입자의 함유율과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연약지반 현장의 수치해석을 통해 전환 세립분 함유율 이상의 점토질 모래를 압밀 대상층으로 적용한 경우, 침하량이 계측침하량 대비 평균 91.2%로 거의 일치하는 결과를 확인하였다. 따라서 연약지반 설계에서 압밀대상층 범위 선정 시 전환 세립분 함유율 이상의 점토질 모래는 연약지반에 포함하여 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

A field velocity resistivity probe (FVRP) can measure compressional waves, shear waves and electrical resistivity in boreholes. The objective of this study is to perform the soil classification through a machine learning technique through elastic wave velocity and electrical resistivity measured by FVRP. Field and laboratory tests are performed, and the measured values are used as input variables to classify silt sand, sand, silty clay, and clay-sand mixture layers. The accuracy of k-nearest neighbors (KNN), naive Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM), selected to perform classification and optimize the hyperparameters, is evaluated. The accuracies are calculated as 0.76, 0.91, 0.94, and 0.88 for KNN, NB, RF, and SVM algorithms, respectively. To increase the amount of data at each soil layer, the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) and conditional tabular generative adversarial network (CTGAN) are applied to overcome imbalance in the dataset. The CTGAN provides improved accuracy in the KNN, NB, RF and SVM algorithms. The results demonstrate that the measured values by FVRP can classify soil layers through three kinds of data with machine learning algorithms.

The monopile-friction wheel hybrid foundation is an innovative solution for offshore structures which are mainly subjected to large lateral eccentric load induced by winds, waves, and currents during their service life. This paper presents an extensive numerical analysis to investigate the lateral load and moment bearing performances of hybrid foundation, considering various potential influencing factors in sand-overlaying-clay soil deposits, with the complex lateral loads being simplified into a resultant lateral load acting at a certain height above the mudline. Finite element models are generated and validated against experimental data where very good agreements are obtained. The failure mechanisms of hybrid foundations under lateral loading are illustrated to demonstrate the effect of the friction wheel in the hybrid system. Parametric study shows that the load bearing performances of the hybrid foundation is significantly dependent of wheel diameter, pile embedment depth, internal friction angle of sand, loading eccentricity (distance from the load application point to the ground level), and the thickness of upper sandy layer. Simplified empirical formulae is proposed based on the numerical results to predict the corresponding lateral load and moment bearing capacities of the hybrid foundation for design application.

To analyze the consolidation with horizontal sand drains, the plane strain consolidation model under multi-ramp loading is established, and its corresponding analytical solution is derived by using the separation of variables method. The proposed solution is verified by the field measurement data and finite element results. Then, the effects of the loading mode and stress distribution on consolidation and dissipation of pore pressure are investigated. At the same time, the influence of hydraulic conductivity and thickness of sand blankets on soil consolidation are also analyzed. The results show that the loading mode has a significant effect on both the soil consolidation rate and generation-dissipation process of pore water pressure. In contrast, the influence of stress distribution on pore pressure dissipation is obvious, while its influence on soil consolidation rate is negligible. To guarantee the fully drained condition of the sand blanket, the ratio of hydraulic conductivity of the sand blanket to that of clay layer k_d/k_v should range from 1.0×10⁴ to 1.0×10⁶ with soil width varying from 100 m to 1000 m. A larger soil width correspondingly needs a greater value of kd/kv to make sure that the pore water can flow through the sand blanket smoothly with little resistance. When the soil width is relatively small (e.g., less than 100 m), the effect of thickness of the sand blanket on soil consolidation is insignificant. And its influence appears obvious gradually with the increase of the soil width.

본 연구의 목적은 연약지반개량을 위한 수평배수층 재료로 순환골재의 적용가능성을 검증함에 있다. 최근 모래의 수급불균형이 초래되고 있으며, 이는 단순히 가격 상승의 문제에서 그치는 것이 아닌 전체 공정의 지연을 초래하게되어 문제의 심각성이 크다. 이러한 상황에서 순환골재는 그 수요를 충족시킬 수 있는 적절한 대체재료로 인식되고 있으며, 이를 검증하기 위해 우선 이미 제정된 각종기준과 규정을 찾아 비교 정리하였고, 다음으로 기존의 수평배수층 재료인 모래와의 공학적 특성에 대한 비교 및 검토를 시행하였다. 결과로써 순환골재는 모래에 비해 큰 투수계수 및 단위중량으로 인해 수평배수층으로써의 대부분 기준을 만족하였으며, 클로깅에 대한 문제는 수평배수층 상부에 필터층을 추가 설치하는 방안으로 해결할 수 있어, 현장적용이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 모래에 비해 순환골재의 구입단가가 상대적으로 낮아 공사비 절감이 가능하여, 수평배수층 재료로 순환골재는 매우 경쟁력있는 대체재료라 할 수 있다.

This study was made to find several significant relations among various physical and mechanical properties including cone penetration resistance. The alluvial clay samples were taken at the Daebul Reclaimed Tideland in Samhomyeon, Yeongamgun, Jeonranamdo. The results of the study are summarized as follows; 1.Most samples belong to medium or high plastic, inorganic, silty clay(clay contents;32-64%, silt contents; 36-68%, sand contents; 0-3%). The specific gravities range from 2.70 to 2.73, the unit weights from 1.45 to 1. 75g/cm$^3$, the natural moisture contents from 45 to 77%, the liquid limits from 32 to 56%. It is certain that the foundation is weak because the natural moisture contents are much higher than the liquid limits. 2.It is known from the shear tests that the unconfined compression strenghs vary from 0.09 to 0. 38kg/cm2, the cohesions from 0.05 to 0. 21kg/cm2, the internal friction angles from 0 to 3˚. 3.The consolidation tests show that the initial void ratios range from 1.25 to 2.28, the compression indeices from 0.43 to 0.84, the preconsolidation loads from 0.21 to 0.74kg/cm$^2$. 4.Cone penetration resistances are usually less than 5kg/cm$^2$ from ground surface to the depth of about 8m, and from S to l0kg/cm$^2$ in the layer below about 8m to hard layer. 5.The cohesion and cone penetration resistance are in proportion to the depth of soil layer. 6.The correlations between various physical and mechanical properties including cone penetration resistance for the alluvial clay samples are as follows; a) Wn=0.944C+ l2.733 (r=0.829) b) LL=0. 728Cy+6. 991 (r=0. 873) c) PI=0.659Cy-8.168 (r=0.860) d) rt=0. 0077(272-Wn) =2.092-0. 0077Wn (r=0. 859) e) 60=0. 035wn-0 447 (r=0. 893) f) C=0.380qw+0.031 (r=0.816) g) qu=0.0707qc+0.029 (r=0.810) h) C=0.018Z+0.055 (r=O.802) I) qc=0. 415Z+1, 438 (r=0. 943)
