In this paper, consolidation settlements with time at vertical drain sites were predicted by artificial neural networks. Laboratory test results and field measurements of two vertical drain sites were used for training and testing neural networks. Predicted consolidation settlements by trained artificial neural networks were compared with measured settlements by field instrumentation. To improve the prediction accuracy, modular artificial neural networks were studied. From the results of applying artificial neural networks to the same situation, it was shown that modular artificial neural network model was more accurate for the prediction of the consolidation settlements than the general model.

The analysis about consolidation characteristic in soft clay has been depending one-dimension consolidation analysis. but, drain and undrain zone are explicated as homogeneous by consolidation behavior following consoli- dated settlementsoft in soft clay. 1) Established sand drain in soft clay in many types, and measured water content, unconfined compression strength, vertical stress, horizontal stress, vertical settlement, pore water pressure. 2) Arranged the result from the test and numerically explicated effective stress, total stress, and effective stress path at the drain and undrain zone. 3) We also analyzed and comparied elastic and elastic-plastic in soft clay using measured data. The result analyzed does not approach to a special theory, but, it is well in accord with the result of other investigator's study in the same condition.

To investigate the effect of drainage spacing and smear on the rate of consolidation, a large consolidation chamber and mandrel insertion device were developed. After the occurrence of smear by installation of sand drain, model ground was consolidated in either overconsolidated or normally consolidated state. As smear effect increases and thus drain spacing decreases, total settlement increase in overconsolidated state but has no effect in normally consolidated state. Efficiency of vertical drain decreases and consequently consolidation time increases in all tests as smear effect becomes significant.

연구목적: 실트질 함유가 높으며 다양한 응력이력 때문에 침하량 예측에 어려움이 있는 우리나라의 서해안 중부지역의 연약점토지반의 침하량 특성을 분석하기 위하여 실험을 실시하였다. 연구방법: 3개의 경우에 대한 현장실험을 실시하였다. 각각의 경우에 대하여 침하판 침하량을 계측하였으며 Terzaghi의 일차원 압밀침하량, 쌍곡선법(hyperbolic method)과 Asaoka법을 모두 분석하여 실무에 유용한 결론을 도출하였다. 연구결과: Terzaghi에 의한 예측값이 모든 경우에서 가장 큰 것으로 분석되었으며 침하판 침하값에 비하여 111%~187%로 크게 예측하였다. 즉, 실제 지반의 침하량인 침하판 침하값이 Terzaghi의 예측값에 비하여 53.4~89.9% 의 침하를 나타내었다. 따라서, 우리나라 중부 서해안 점토질 연약지반에서 Terzaghi방법에 의한 예상침하량은 실제 침하량보다 과다하게 예상하는 것으로 분석되었다. 결론: Asaoka방법과 쌍곡선 방법은 비교적 유사한 결과를 제시한 것으로 분석되었으며, 실무에서는 실제 침하량 보다 작게 침하량을 예측할 경우 위험을 초래할 수 있으므로 실제 침하량보다 6~14% 크게 예측한 쌍곡선 분석법이 안전측으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The evaluation of field degree of consolidation on soft clays has been an important problem in geotechnical areas. Monitoring either settlements or pore water pressures has been widely applied in the filed, but occasionally they have some problems. This study addresses the suggestion and application of another method for evaluating the degree of consolidation using shear wave velocities. A research site where soft clay layers were consolidated by surcharging loads was chosen. Laboratory tests were performed to determine the relation between shear wave velocity and effective stress. Field seismic tests were conducted several times during the consolidation of the clay layers. The tests results show that the shear wave velocity increased significantly as clays consolidated. The shear wave velocities at each field stress states were derived from the laboratory results and the degree of consolidation was evaluated by comparing the shear wave velocities obtained by laboratory and field seismic methods. In most stress states, the degree of consolidation evaluated using the shear wave velocity matched well with that obtained from field settlement record, showing the potential of applying the method using shear waves in the evaluation of field degree of consolidation on soft clay deposits.

The consolidation behavior of Sri Lankan peaty clay is analyzed using an elasto-viscoplastic model. The model can describe the secondary compression behavior as a continuous process and it can also account for the effect of structural degradation on the consolidation analysis. The analysis takes into account all the main features involved in the process of peat consolidation, namely, finite strain, variable permeability, and the secondary compression. The material parameters required for the analysis and the procedures to evaluate them, using both standard laboratory and field tests, are explained. Initially, the model performance is assessed by comparing the predicted and the observed peat consolidation behavior under laboratory conditions. The results indicate that the model is capable of predicting the observed creep settlements and the effect of layer thickness on the settlement analysis of peaty clay. Then, the model is applied to predict the consolidation behavior of peaty clay under different field conditions. In this context, firstly, the one-dimensional field consolidation of peaty clay, brought about by the construction of compacted earth fill, is predicted. Then, the two-dimensional peat foundation response upon embankment loading is simulated. A good agreement is seen in the comparison of the predicted results with the field observations.

Terzaghi의 1차원 압밀이론은 준설 매립지반과 같이 고함수비, 고압축성을 갖는 점토지반의 압밀해석에는 적합하지 않다. 준설 매립지반의 자중압밀과 재하하중에 의한 추가압밀을 적절히 고려하기 위해서는 비선형, 유한변형 압밀이론을 도입해야 한다. 준설 매립지반의 비선형 유한변형 압밀해석을 수행하기 위해서는 침강과정이 종료되고 자중압밀이 시작되는 시점의 간극비인 초기간극비($e_{00}$)와 비선형성을 갖는 준설토의 간극비-유효응력 관계와 간극비-투수계수의 관계 규명이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 실내시험을 통해 비선형 유한변형 압밀해석에 필요한 인자를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 적용하여 인천지역 준설토와 카올리나이트의 압밀 물성치를 평가하였고, 이를 동반논문에서 다룰 비선형 유한변형 압밀해석에 적용하였다.

An application of concrete track is being actively processed for the construction of Korean railroad. The concrete track has an advantage to decrease the maintenance ire, but is very difficult system to maintain after earthwork settlement occurred. Therefore, the management and control of embankment and foundation settlement is very important for the successful concrete track construction. We expect that the main part of the settlement of the concrete track is the one of embankment and foundation supporting it. Settlements vulnerable to the concrete track among the causes of lots of settlements are primary consolidation and secondary compression settlement of foundation, creep settlement of embankment, settlement caused by train load, and unequal settlement resulting from the difference of embankment material and construction process. This paper investigated the settlement causes to make badly effects on the concrete track and also evaluated the settlement with field tests and numerical analysis.

연약지반의 압밀 침하는 침하속도를 예측하거나 수치 해석적 기법에 대한 것에 집중되어 있으며 실내시험으로부터 추정된 압축특성에 대해 계측결과 등을 이용하여 재평가하려는 시도는 매우 적다. 영산강 하구지역에서 분포하는 해성점토에 대하여 실내 표준 압밀시험, 현장에서 약 3년 동안 축적된 층별침하계, 간극수압계, 지하수위계의 계측결과를 바탕으로 한 현장계측 압밀곡선, 그리고 침하해석 프로그램인 PLAXIS를 이용한 연직 배수재가 설치된 지반의 성토이력에 따른 역 해석으로 압축성을 비교 하였다. 여러 제약조건에도 불구하고 현장계측결과에 의해 평가된 현장계측 압밀곡선은 표준압밀시험 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

SCP(Sand Compaction Pile) method that forms a composite ground by driving compacted sand piles into the soft ground. This method is one of the soil improvement techniques for reinforcing and strengthening soft ground deposits. This thesis describes the investigation on the behavior of soft ground reinforced with SCP by low improvement ratio. Direct shear test and consolidation test carried out to verified behavior of composite ground reinforced with SCP. Test results were discussed with reference to the amount of consolidation settlement, variation of shear resistance with area replacement ratio and effect of the stress concentration. And, laboratory model loading test carried out to verified the effect of the location and failure mode of reinforced embankment. Residual shear strength varies with the area replacement and constrict load in the low replacement ratio. Calculated stress concentration ratio overestimate than proposed valve by experimental, theoretical and analytical method. As regards the location, improving right below of the top of the slope was more effective than below of the toe of the slope. This thesis carried out to obtain fundamental information of behavior of the composit ground. Hereafter, centrifuge test that reproduce stress state of the in-situ must be necessary through the further study about pile penetration, reinforce position and construct time.
