석회암 용식지역 상부에 위치한 주거지역에 대하여 지반침하 안정성을 분석하였다. 석회암지역에 분포한 공동을 조사하기 위하여 전기비저항 토모그래피, 전자탐사를 실시하였으며 지반특성을 규명하기 위하여 시추조사를 포함한 지반공학적인 조사를 실시하였다. 조사 결과를 바탕으로 공동의 형상과 지하수 조건에 대하여 지반침하 분석 및 예측을 위한 수치해석을 실시하였다. 지반침하를 일으키는 주요인은 지하수위의 하강으로 예측되었는데 이는 표토 하부의 지하수위가 감소함으로써 지반의 역학적 평형상태가 교란되고 공동이나 지표면의 침하가 발생해 표토 토양층이 유실되기 때문이다. 석회암 용식지역에서의 지반침하를 방지하기 위하여서는 천부 공동 상부의 지하수위를 지속적으로 유지시키는 것이 필수불가결한 것으로 보인다.

암반내 존재하는 단층은 암반의 거동에 미치는 영향이 매우 크기 때문에 암반사면, 터널과 같은 암반구조물의 설계 및 시공에 있어서 단층특성에 대한 조사는 무엇보다 중요하다 할 수 있다. 그러나 설계단계에서 이러한 특성을 파악하기에 한계가 있기 때문에 시공중 막장관찰과 추가지반조사를 통하여 터널주변에 존재하는 단층의 분포 및 공학적 특성에 대하여 조사하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 운모편암지역에서의 대단면 터널 공사중 설계시 파악되지 않은 대규모 스러스트 단층대가 확인됨에 따라, 단층대의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 다양한 지질조사 및 현장시험을 실시하였다. 이러한 지반조사결과를 바탕으로 단층의 성인, 구조지질적 분포특성 및 단층암의 공학적 특성을 파악하였으며, 단층대 통과구간에서 안전하게 터널을 굴착할 수 있도록 합리적인 지보 및 보강대책을 수립하였다.

As the Wenchuan Earthquake was of high magnitude and shallow seismic focus, it caused great damage and serious geo-hazards. By the field investigation and remote-sensing interpretation after the earthquake and by using means of GIS, the distribution of geo-hazards triggered by the earthquake was analyzed and the conclusions are as follows: (1) the earthquake geo-hazards showed the feature of zonal distribution along the earthquake fault zone and linear distribution along the rivers; (2) the distribution of earthquake geo-hazards had a marked hanging wall effect, for the development density of geo-hazards in the hanging wall of earthquake fault was obviously higher than that in the foot wall and the width of strong development zone in the hanging wall was about 10 km; (3) the topographical slope was a main factor which controlled the development of earthquake geo-hazards and a vast majority of geo-hazards were distributed on the slopes of 20 to 50 degrees; (4) the earthquake geo-hazards had a corresponding relationship with the elevation and micro-landform, for most hazards happened in the river valleys and canyon sections below the elevation of 1500 to 2000 m, particularly in the upper segment of canyon sections (namely, the turning point from the dale to the canyon). Thin ridge, isolated or full-face space mountains were most sensitive to the seismic wave, and had a striking amplifying effect. In these areas, collapses and landslides were most likely to develop; (5) the study also showed that different lithologies determined the types of geo-hazards, and usually, landslides occurred in soft rocks, while collapses occurred in hard rocks.

The cone penetration test(CPT) has gained its popularity in site characterization indebted by its reliability, speed, economy, and automatic measurement system since its development in the 1930s. The CPT results, commonly consisting of cone tip resistance, sleeve friction, and pore water pressure measurements, allow us to classify soils as well as to reveal their engineering characteristics. The site condition at which the CPT is allowable is often dependent on the capacity of a CPT system. In Korea, it has been considered that the CPT could be appled only to soft soils in most cases because CPT systems available for stiff soils are very rare due to their expensive procurement and maintenance cost. Luoisiana Transportation Research Center(LTRC) has developed and implemented a field-rugged continuous intrusion miniature cone penetration test(CIMCPT) system since the late 1990s. The miniature cone penetrometer has a sectional cone area of $2cm^2$ allowing system capacity reduction compared to the standard $10cm^2$ cone penetrometer. The continuous intrusion mechanism allows fast and economic site investigation. Samsung Engineering & Construction has recently developed and implemented a similar CIMCPT system based on its original version developed in LTRC. The performance of the Samsung CIMCPT system has been investigated by calibration with the standard CPT system at a well-characterized test site in Pusan, Korea. In addition, scale effect between the miniature cone penetrometer and the standard cone penetrometer has been investigated by comparing the field test results using the both systems.

The present study evaluates the interface shear strength between sand and different construction materials, namely steel and concrete, using direct shear test apparatus. The influence of surface roughness, mean size of sand particles, relative density of sand and size of the direct shear box on the interface shear behavior of sand with steel and concrete has been investigated. Test results show that the surface roughness of the construction materials significantly influences the interface shear strength. The peak and residual interface friction angles increase rapidly up to a particular value of surface roughness (critical surface roughness), beyond which the effect becomes negligible. At critical surface roughness, the peak and residual friction angles of the interfaces are 85-92% of the peak and residual internal friction angles of the sand. The particle size of sand (for morphologically identical sands) significantly influences the value of critical surface roughness. For the different roughness considered in the present study, both the peak and residual interaction coefficients lie in the range of 0.3-1. Moreover, the peak and residual interaction coefficients for all the interfaces considered are nearly identical, irrespective of the size of the direct shear box. The constitutive modeling of different interfaces followed the experimental investigation and it successfully predicted the pre-peak, peak and post peak interface shear response with reasonable accuracy. Moreover, the predicted stress-displacement relationship of different interfaces is in good agreement with the experimental results. The findings of the present study may also be applicable to other non-yielding interfaces having a similar range of roughness and sand properties.

일반적인 보통 등급의 지반(ground) 상 구조물의 안정성 확보를 위한 설계입력정수(input-parameters) 도출방법들은 보편적으로 잘 알려져 있다. 연구지역과 같은 습곡된(folded) 변성암(metamorphic rocks) 지반은 엽리가(foliation) 촘촘히 발달해 있고, 엽리에 평행한 소규모 단층들(faults)이 분포하고 있어 설계입력정수 도출을 위한 특별한 조사방법 및 시험, 등이 요구된다. 수 mm 간격의 엽리가 발달한 변성암 지반은 엽리면 직접전단강도시험(direct shear test), 엽리의 배향(strike/dip)과 맵핑(mapping), 엽리의 지하 연속성 파악을 위한 시추조사, 변성암반의 암반분류(rock mass rating), 등이 필요하다. 특정 엽리면을 따라 발달한 소규모의 엽리평행단층(foliation-parallel faults)이 다수 발달한 지반은 선구조선 분석, 단층 추적을 위한 지표지질맵핑, 단층면 직접전단강도시험, 등이 필수적이다. 습곡지반은 지질구조구(structural domain) 분석, 불연속면의 평사투영(stereonet)해석, 습곡축을 따른 전기비저항탐사, 등의 추가조사로 설계입력정수 도출이 합리적이다.

말뚝의 지지력 결정은 그 결과로 부터 설계내역이 결정되기 때문에 중요하다. 말뚝의 지지력 결정방법에는 수많은 방법들이 있지만 실무에는 극히 일부분만이 적용되고 있다. 최근 국내 실태조사에 의하면 SPT N 값을 기준으로 한 Meyaerhof공식이 거의 모든 설계에서 적용되고 있으며, 시공중에는 항타공식과 Eoh는 말뚝 재하시험도 실시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이들 3가지 방법들을 분석 비교하였다. 분석결과 말뚝재하시험 이외에는 그 신뢰도가 극히 불량하였다. 그리고 말뚝 재하시험 결과의 분석에 있어서, 선단지지력과 주면마찰력을 분리측정하지 않으면 결정적인 오차를 유발할 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 선단지지력과 주면마찰력의 분리측정에 의한 말뚝재하시험이 가장 신뢰도가 높은 말뚝지지력 결정방법으로 추천할 수 있다.

In the mechanistic-empirical trackbed design of railways, the resilient modulus is the key input parameter. This study focused on the resilient modulus prediction model, which is the functions of mean effective principal stress and axial strain, for three types of railroad trackbed materials such as crushed stone, weathered soil, and crushed-rock soil mixture. The model is composed with the maximum Young's modulus and nonlinear values for higher strain in parallel with dynamic shear modulus. The maximum values is modeled by model parameters, $A_E$ and the power of mean effective principal stress, $n_E$. The nonlinear portion is represented by modified hyperbolic model, with the model parameters of reference strain, ${\varepsilon}_r$ and curvature coefficient, a. To assess the performance of the prediction models proposed herein, the elastic response of a test trackbed near PyeongTaek, Korea was evaluated using a 3-D nonlinear elastic computer program (GEOTRACK) and compared with measured elastic vertical displacement during the passages of freight and passenger trains. The material types of sub-ballasts are crushed stone and weathered granite soil, respectively. The calculated vertical displacements within the sub-ballasts are within the order of 0.6mm, and agree well with measured values with the reasonable margin. The prediction models are thus concluded to work properly in the preliminary investigation.

The characteristics of arsenic(As) contamination were investigated on soils of 3 abandoned metal mine sites in Gangwon-do, Korea. Total forty nine soils were sampled to conduct standard methods(extraction by 1HCl), sequential extraction and column leaching test. Concentration of As extracted by 1N HCl was ordered as follows: A mine > B mine > C mine, and the concentration of arsenic in the soils of A mine was significantly greater than that at any other cases and all samples of A mine were exceeded the national regulation of $6mg \;kg^{-1}$. In the results of sequential extraction, the potential contamination risk for groundwater and plants was ordered as follows: C mine > B mine > A mine because the C mine showed the relatively greater mobility and bioavailability of fraction than any other mines. And, in colume test, concentration of As was ordered as follows: C mine > B mine > A mine, and it was expected that these results were connected with fraction characteristics of the mine sites. Therefore adequate leaching investigations should be used to simulate the effect of natural leaching conditions, and to predict both the potential mobility of metals to groundwater and their bioavailability to plants under natural conditions.

Clay soils have a big potential to become contaminated with the oil derivatives because they cover a vast area of the earth. The oil derivatives diffusion in the soil lead to soil contamination and changes the physical and mechanical properties of the soil specially clay soils. Soil stabilization by using new material is very important for geotechnical engineers in order to improve the engineering properties of the soil. The main subjects of this research are a- to investigate the effect of the cement and epoxy resin mixtures on the stabilization and on the mechanical parameters as well as the microstructural properties of clay soils contaminated with gasoline and kerosene, b- study on the phenomenon of clay concrete development. Practical engineering indexes such as Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), elastic modulus, toughness, elastic and plastic strains are all obtained during the course of experiments and are used to determine the optimum amount of additives (cement and epoxy resin) to reach a practical stabilization method. Microstructural tests were also conducted on the specimens to study the changes in the nature and texture of the soil. Results obtained indicated that by adding epoxy resin to the contaminated soil specimens, the strength and deformational properties are increased from 100 to 1500 times as that of original soils. Further, the UCS of some stabilized specimens reached 40 MPa which exceeded the strength of normal concrete. It is interesting to note that, in contrast to the normal concrete, the strength and deformational properties of such stabilized specimens (including UCS, toughness and strain at failure) are simultaneously increased which further indicate on suitability and applicability of the current stabilization method. It was also observed that increasing cement additive to the soil has negligible effect on the contaminated soils stabilized by epoxy resin. In addition, the epoxy resin showed a very good and satisfactory workability for the weakest and the most sensitive soils contaminated with oil derivatives.
