This paper deals with development of a damage risk assessment system for adjacent buildings to under-passing tunnel face considering 3D-ground movement. The system consists of building and ground information module, monitoring data module, settlement evaluation module, and building damage risk assessment module. The major modules, settlement evaluation module and building damage assessment module, are based on settlement estimation model suggested by Attewell et al (1982) and the building damage assessment method by Mair et al. (1996). After estimating 3D-ground movements due to tunneling with settlement evaluation module, damage assessment far buildings is performed using building damage risk assessment module. The developed system has two major functions; 1) calculation of 3D-settlement with ground loss ($V_{s}$)or maximum settlement ($w_{max}$) and inflection point (i) using various empirical formulae, monitoring data, numerical results, and so on; 2) assessment of damage risk for adjacent buildings of arbitrary section with position change of tunnel face. The field data given by Boscadin and Cording (1989) leer the case of two-storied masonry building near the Metro tunnel in Washington D.C. was simulated to verify the applicability of the developed system.

The problem of subsidence of the roadbed near the Honam High Speed Railway, which opened in April 2015, continues to be raised, and the ground stability of the area near the Honam High Speed Railway may also be problematic. It is very important to select the factors that determine the indicators and indicators in producing the risk maps. Existing risk indicators are calculated as the final displacement volume based on the last observed date of the observed period, and time-series indicator displacement must be identified to analyze the cause of subsidence and the behavior of the indicator. Furthermore, for a wide range of regions, it is economically inefficient to conduct direct level measurements, so we wanted to observe surface displacement using SAR images. In this paper, time series indicator displacement was observed using PS-InSAR techniques, and risk was compared by rating each factor using the difference between final indicator displacement, cumulative indicator displacement, minimum displacement and maximum displacement as factors for determining risk indicators. As a result, the risk rating of the final displacement is different from that of each factor, and we propose adding factors from different perspectives in determining risk indicators. It is expected to be an important study in finding the cause of ground subsidence and finding solutions.

Purpose: According to the recent occurrence statistics of ground accidents, ground subsidence and subsidence have become social problems as the frequency has increased centering around the downtown areas. This study tried to clarify risk of detailed factors which have an effect on subsidence. Method: For the study, detailed risk factors of 28 foundations were mainly drawn through the materials, precedent studies, and research reports shown by analyzing JIS' accident cases from 2016 to September 6, 2022 and by taking advice from an excavation expert. And risk was assessed by conducting a survey on 12 subsidence experts from the universities, research institutes, and industries and applying Fuzzy-FMEA to it. Result: It has found that damage of sewer pipes is 24.99% of overall risk, followed by excavation work (17.34%), water pipes (14.84%), and poor compaction (refill) (13.93%). And it has found that risk of damaging utilities (water pipes, sewer pipes, and other utilities) is highest, followed by poor construction works (excavation work, damage of sewer and water pipes, and other utility work) and poor compaction (refill). Conclusion: This shows that risk of subsidence factors judged by experts is similar with JIS' cases of ground subsidence.

Recent settlements and sinkhole openings in urban areas have caused social problems such as damage to roads and structures, fear of the public, and loss of property. Several studies have demonstrated that surface subsidence and sinkhole opening are greatly affected by rainfall and rainfall intensity in urban areas. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship with the characteristics of recorded rainfall data using the ground subsidence database reported in major cities. The correlations were found using sedimentation and precipitation data from 2010 to 2014. The duration and intensity of a given precipitation have evolved to obtain an effect on ground sedimentation rate (SR). The results show that the relationship between SR and precipitation is asymptotic and can be modeled by a hyperbolic equation. Through this study, it is possible to predict the occurrence of ground subsidence due to precipitation in advance.

During deep excavation, changes in the state of stress in the ground mass around the excavation and subsequent ground losses inevitably occur. These changes in the stress and ground losses are reflected on surrounding ground in the form of ground movements, which eventually Impose strains onto nearby structures through translation, rotation, distortion, and possibly damage. A substantial portion of the cost of deep excavations in urban environments is, therefore, devoted to prevent ground movements. Prediction of ground movements and assessment of the risk of damage to adjacent structures has become an essential part of the planning, design, and construction of a deep excavation project in the urban environments. This paper presents excavation-induced ground movement characteristics as well as important issues related to excavation-induced building damage assessment.

This paper describes the earthquake risk evaluation of 15 sites of architectural heritages, which are considered ground conditions of sites in Seoul. In order to acquire the input data of earthquake response analysis, surface wave exploration was performed at the site. Earthquake response analysis and 3D earthquake safety evaluation were carried out under the base of scenario earthquakes. Ground displacements of areas, which are located on architectural heritages, are showed about 0.5 mm ~ 9.7 mm, and it was analyzed to small affected by earthquakes. In case of Naksungdae three-story stone pagoda, ground displacement is similar to the others. However, displacement of three-story stone pagoda with granite is 30 mm on the top, because the greatest occurrence of that is caused by stress release at seismic wave effect.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of normalization of the distibutions of soil parameters taken from soft ground and the reliability of the safety factors of specific objects on it, including sanitary landfill. Through this study it is found that distributions of soil parameters could be adjusted to appropriate normal distributions as possibility density functions(PDF), and that especially the group of initial cohesions and the coresponding safety factors has a perfect linear correlation. According to those results the PDF to initial cohesion as possibility parameter can not only be tmsformed to the PDF to safety factor but also, conseqently, the reliability of the safety factor(SF) simply based on the mean value of soil parameter(Co) can be calculated or easily picked up from the standrad normal distribution table. It is therefore concluded that even though calculated values of safety factors are over any standard requirements some possibility of risk both to the objects and natural soft ground could be still existing, and also a new standard value for this slope stability control system should be derived just by adjusting old one according to the magnitude of risk possibility.
