Continuous loading is applied the sample has been developed to overcome some of the problems associated with the incremental loading consolidation test. Therefore, it is able to reduce the test time and provide a well defined the curve of effective stress versus strain due to continuous stress-strain points. Also, the constant rate of strain consolidation(CRSC) test has been accepted widely as a standard method in foreign countries because of its many advantages. However, in Korea the CRSC test has not been used in engineering practice and experimentally verified. Because there is not a precise criterion of testing despite consolidation characteristics are influenced on strain rate and Pore pressure ratio. Consequently, it is difficult to apply in engineering practice. In this study, artificial neural networks are applied to the estimation of th proper strain rate and pore pressure ratio of the CRSC test. This study shows the possibility of utilizing the artificial neural networks model of estimation of the strain rate and pore pressure ratio in the CRSC test.

본 연구는 사전압밀재하공법에 의해 연약지반을 개량시 재하-제하-재재하와 같은 다양한 응력변화에 의한 2차압밀량을 추정하고자, 일정변형률 압밀시험기(CRS)를 응용한 일정재하시험장치(CLR)와 표준압밀시험기를 이용한 단계 재하시험(IL)에 의해 군산점토의 압밀특성을 비교 고찰하였다. 또한 CRS시험 후 임의 팽창시점에서 재재하시 유효과압밀비에 따른 2차압밀특성과 간극비-유효응력-시간관계 등을 파악하였다. 군산점토는 유효 과압밀비가 클수록 팽창량은 크고 2차압밀 침하량은 작게 발생하고 있으며, 일시에 하중 제거 후, 재하하는 경우에서 2차압밀계수 $C'_{\alpha}$ 는 완속제거시 보다 작게 평가되고, 유효 과압밀비가 1.4이상인 경우는 유사한 값을 제시하고 있다. 재재하시 발생되는 전체침하량을 기준으로 한 2차압밀계수 $C"_{\alpha}$는 경과시간에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하나 최종값은 급속제거시와 비교하여 유사한 값을 제시하고 있다. 간극비 변형속도는 재하시간이 증가할수록 유효 과압밀비에 관계없이 2개의 시험 모두 일정한 선형관계이고, 유효 과압밀비가 증가할수록 작게 나타나고 있다.고 있다.

This study was carried out to comparison of coefficient of consolidation and the prediction of excess pore water pressure in agricultural reservoir on soft clay ground. For the purpose of verification of the proposed equation, laboratory model tests and field tests were performed and excess pore water pressure was compared to those predicted with the Terzaghi's method. The predicted excess pore water pressure according to ponding was very applicable to practice because it was close to the observed data. Also, for the comparison of coefficient of consolidation, the oedometer, constant rate of strain (CRS), and Rowe cell tests were performed. The coefficient of consolidation at the Rowe cell and CRS tests showed a greate increase than in the oedometer test. The ratio of the vertical and horizontal coefficient of consolidation showed a large difference according to various tests method and mixing ratio. Therefore, it is recommended that careful attention should be paid to predicting the required consolidation period in agricultural reservoir.

The estimation of consolidation rate is one of the important factors in the construction on soft clayey deposits. A number of researches are carried out to predict the consolidation behavior in field, however, most of the results show the discrepancies between the prediction and observation. This paper analyzes consolidation behavior of normally consolidated clay in K/sub o/ condition with 2-dimensional drainage by use of the numerical methods. Elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analyses are compared in terms of the dissipation of excess pore pressure. These results are also compared with Terzaghi-Rendulic's equation that is implemented by finite difference method. The consolidation time calculated by using elastic model is found to be similar to the result of Terzaghi-Rendulic's equation. The consolidation predicted by MCC model takes more time than other cases. Initial increase of excess pore pressure in radial drainage can be shown, however, this phenomenon does not have a significant effect on tile final consolidation time.

This study aims at scrutinizing the long4errn consolidation characteristics of peats sampled at three different regions of Chonbuk province. The standard consolidation test and the single load consolidation test were performed about these samples and especially in case of the latter the loading period was 350 days. The main condusions analyzed are as follows. 1. Void ratio showed much greater values than that of the general clay and was decresed greatly according to the increase of the load. 2. In case of the relationship between the sefflement and the long-term settlement time the rate of settlement increment became great according to the increase of the load step and the long4erm settlement became linely proportional to the logarithm of time alter 10 minutes. 3. The linear correlation was showed between the long4erm settlement time and the void ratio and therefore equations by regression analysis were derived in order to estimate the long-term settlement The slope of straight lines increased according th the increase of the load step and secondary consolidation coefficients ranged from 0.04-0.27. 4. The secondary consolidation coeffcient became linealy proportional to the compression index and the ratio of Ca to CC was 0.072. 5. The period required in ending the primary consolidation was about 10 minutes and alter that the secondary consolidation coefficient appeared to have constant value. Therefore the secondary consolidation coefficient was judged to be used as a significant factor in estimating the long4erm settlement. 6. In case of the single load consolidation test the secondary consolidation coefficient showed the tendancy increasing according to the increase of the consolidation pressure.

Laboratory and field data showed that deep mixed (DM) columns accelerated the rate of consolidation of the soft foundations. Most analyses of consolidation of DM column-improved foundations so far have been based on the elastic theory. In reality, the DM columns may yield due to the stress concentration from the soft soil and its limited strength. The influence of column yielding on the degree of consolidation of the soft foundation improved by DM columns has not been well investigated. A three-dimensional mechanically and hydraulically-coupled numerical method was adopted in this study to investigate the degree of consolidation of the DM column foundation considering column yielding. A unit cell model was used, in which the soil was modeled as a linearly elastic material. For a comparison purpose, the DM column was modeled as an elastic or elastic-plastic material. This study examined the aspects of stress transfer, settlement, and degree of consolidation of the foundations without or with the consideration of the yielding of the DM column. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of the column yielding on the stress concentration ratio, settlement, and average degree of consolidation of the DM column foundation. The stress concentration ratio increased and then decreased to reach a constant value with the increase of the column modulus and time. A simplified method was proposed to calculate the maximum stress concentration ratios under undrained and drained conditions considering the column yielding. The simplified method based on a composite foundation concept could conservatively estimate the consolidation settlement. An increase of the column modulus, area replacement ratio, and/or column permeability increased the rate of consolidation.

본 연구에서는 남해안 해성점토의 일정변형률 압밀특성을 파악하기 위해 표준압밀시첩과 변형률 속도가 다른 일정변형율 압밀시험을 수행하고 이들 결과를 비교.분석하였다. 표준압밀시험 및 일정변형율 시험에서 선행압밀하중을 산정하기 위하여 여러 제안된 방법을 사용하였으며 각 방법의 적용성을 검토하였다. 또한, 변형률 속도가 응력-변형뮬 관계, 간극수압, 그리고 선행압밀 하중에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 압밀곡선의 분포와 선행압밀하중비($a_2=\sigma'_{pCRS}/\sigma'_{pConv}$)는 변형률 속도의 영향을 받지만, 정규압 밀구간의 압축지수는 상대적으로 변형률 속도의 크기와 무관한 것으로 나타났다. 해성점토의 선행압밀하중비는 변형률 속도의 대수축척에 비례하여 증가하는 것으로의 변형률 속도에서 평균적으로 1.11~1.30의 분포를 보였다. 일정변형률 압밀시험에서 간극수압비는 변형플 속도가$6.67\times10^{-4}$ %sec일 때를 제외하고는 6.0%를 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 정규압밀구간의 압축지수, 압밀계수와 투수계수는 각각 0.59~0.95, $0.56\times10^{-3}~3.0\times10^{-3} cm^2/sec,\; 그리고 \;2.0\times10^4~7.0\times10^{-4} cm/sec$의 분포를 보였다.

Constant rate of strain (CRS) consolidation tests were conducted for undisturbed Ariake clay samples from three boreholes in Saga Plain of Kyushu Island, Japan. The coefficients of consolidation ($c_{\nu}$) were interpreted from the CRS test results by small- and large-strain theory. Large-strain theory was found to interpret smaller $c_{\nu}$ values and less strain rate effect on $c_{\nu}$ than that by small-strain theory. Comparing the theoretical strain distributions within a soil specimen to those obtained by numerical simulation shows that the small-strain theory can be used only for the dimensionless parameter $c_{\nu}/\dot{\varepsilon}H_0^2{\geq}50$ (where $\dot{\varepsilon}$ is strain rate and $H_0$ is the specimen height), and the large-strain theory can be used for a larger range of strain rates. Applying the criterion to undisturbed Ariake clay with a $c_{\nu}$ value of about $1{\times}10^{-7}\;m^2/s$, it is suggested that the large-strain theory should be adopted for calculating the $c_{\nu}$ value when $\dot{\varepsilon}$ > 0.03%/min.
