As the reinforced earth wall is constructed with step by step backfill compaction method, the accumulative horizontal deformation is inevitable. It has been reported that about 80% of horizontal deformation is occurred during the construction stage of reinforced earth retaining wall. To reduce the horizontal deformation, an isolated-reinforced earth wall method(KOESWall system) was newly developed. In this system, the reinforced earth is constructed first with reinforcements and backfills only, and then facing blocks are installed after the horizontal displacement of reinforced earth is fully occurred. To evaluate the effect of a construction method and the performance of KOESWall system, two cases of full scale field performance was monitored during and after the construction stages.

Modulus of deformation of soil is an essential parameter used for design analysis of foundations, despite its importance; little attention is paid to developing empirical models for predicting the sensitivity of deformation moduli to other parameters that obtained from the pressuremeter tests. Various methods of analysis used to predict the horizontal at rest pressure from pressuremeter testing ($P_o$), these values showed distinctive variations, five methods used to evaluate the values of horizontal at rest pressure, these values been used to evaluate the modulus of elasticity using three methods of analysis. The values of modulus showed distinctive increase when the values of horizontal at rest pressure increase for the same pressuremeter test, these increases may reach to 65%. This sensitivity of the moduli to values of horizontal lead the author to propose some reliable methods of analysis for both the horizontal at rest pressure and the modulus of deformation from pressuremeter testing.

Geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) walls constructed on weak grounds may change in both the horizontal earth pressure and deformation on wall facing. However, only few studies were done in the literature to measure and analyze the horizontal external deformation behavior of GRS walls constructed on soft grounds for a long period of time. The present study describes the external deformation behavior of GRS walls observed for 12-year long-term performance. The horizontal deformation of the geosynthetics-wrapped-facing GRS walls shows a passive behavior along one third of the wall height, from top going downwards, and active behavior for the rest of the wall height. Even if the geogrid and nonwoven geotextiles are exposed directly to sunlight and rainfalls in a span of 12 years, they have functioned well as wall facing. Therefore, the geosynthetic reinforcement material is strong enough to resist ultraviolet rays.

Rigid-plastic finite element analyses on the deformation of slabs at various width reductions have been performed. By using commercial finite element code, dog-bone profile, crop profile and the longitudinal width profile after edging and Horizontal rolling have been analysed. The deformation behavior of slab for the heavy edger mill has also been compared with that for the sizing press. From the deformation analyses, it was found that the sizing press-horizontal rolling method is more efficient in width reduction than that of heavy edger mill-horizontal rolling. The results of finite element analyses fer the deformation of slab were well confirmed by the actual operational data. It was found that the amount of width variation after sizing and rolling is about 5∼10mm.

In the ordinary reinforced earth wall, which was constructed by incremental construction method, the horizontal deformation of the facing due to the compaction induced horizontal earth pressure was unavoidable. Thus the KOESWall system which are adopted the isolated construction method was developed by I&S Eng. Co., Ltd. in 1999. Due to its systematical feature, KOESWall system is able to minimizes the horizontal deformation of reinforced wall effectively and it can be used as temporary structures more economically without the lacing block. In this report, it is shown that the concept and case histories of KOESWall system as a retaining structures.

연성벽체인 보강토옹벽은 변형을 허용하므로 연약지반 상에 구축될 경우 뒤채움재와 연약지반의 변형이 수렴될 때까지 경과시간에 따라 벽체에 작용하는 토압과 옹벽내에 작용하는 보강재의 인장력은 변하나, 이들을 장기간에 걸쳐 계측 및 분석한 사례는 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 얕은 층의 연약지반상에 실물보강토옹벽을 구축하여 보강재의 변형, 토압, 간극수압 등을 약 16개월 동안 계측 및 분석하였다. 스트레인 게이지를 사용하여 보강재의 변형을 계측하였으며, 특히 부직포의 변형 계측에 스트레인 게이지를 적용하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 대부분의 보강재 변형은 옹벽구축 후로부터 한 달 이내에 발생하고, 약 16개월 동안 계측된 부직포, 직포, 지오그리드에서의 최대변형률은 6.05, 2.92, 2.33%로 나타났다. 보강토옹벽 내에서 간극수압은 무시할 수 있으나, 벽면에서의 수평토압은 옹벽의 저부와 상부에서 정지토압보다 크게 나타났다.

A total of 104 laboratory model tests on a square footing subjected to eccentrically inclined loads supported by sand reinforced with randomly distributed polypropylene fibers were conducted in order to compare the results with those obtained from unreinforced sand and with each other. For conducting the model tests, uniform sand was compacted in a test box at one particular relative density of compaction. The effect of percentage of reinforcement used, thickness of the reinforced layer, angle of inclination of load to vertical and eccentricity of load applied on various prominent factors such as ultimate load, vertical settlement, horizontal deformation and tilt were investigated. An improvement in ultimate load, vertical settlement, horizontal deformation and tilt of foundation was observed with an increase in the percentage of fibers used and thickness of reinforced sand layer under different inclinations and eccentricities of load. A statistical model using non-linear regression analysis based on present experimental data for predicting the vertical settlement ($s_p$), horizontal deformation ($hd_p$) and tilt ($t_p$) of square footing on reinforced sand at any load applied was done where the dependent variable was predicted settlement ($s_p$), horizontal deformation ($hd_p$) and tilt ($t_p$) respectively.

본 연구에서는 차단기능형 수평식 가스밸브와 기존 수직식 가스밸브의 변형거동 안전성을 FEM으로 해석하였다. FEM 해석결과에 의하면, 차단기능형 수평식 가스밸브의 나사부와 가스방출구에 가스내압이 작용할 때 밸브몸체의 우측 끝단부에서 최대 변형량 $4.4{\mu}m$가 발생하였다. 두 번째로 큰 변형량 $2.9{\mu}m$는 안전밸브가 설치된 포트의 끝단부에 형성된 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 작은 변형량이 발생한 것은 나사부, 가스방출구, 스템 및 스핀들 축이 장착되는 포트, 안전밸브 포트로 구성되는 수평식 가스밸브의 평형이 잘 이루어지도록 설계되었기 때문이다. 반면에 나사부와 가스방출구에 가스내압이 작용할 때, 기존 차단기능형 수직식 가스밸브의 상단부에서 최대 변형량 0.076mm가 형성된 것으로 나타났다. 가스유출구의 좌측 끝단부에서 두 번째로 큰 최대 변형량 0.055mm가 발생하였다. 이러한 변형량은 차단기능형 안전장치의 그루브에 삽입된 오링의 밀봉간극에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LPG 용기용 가스밸브의 가스누출을 완벽하게 차단할 수 있는 메커니즘을 갖춘 차단기능형 수평식 가스밸브가 수직식 가스밸브에 비해 우수하다할 수 있다.

This study analyzed the characteristics of four kinds of bridge rubber pads and suggested how to determine the stiffness the pads. The stiffness of rubber pads can be estimated by a direct static test. In the procedure to estimate the stiffness of a pad, the dead load(preload) of a bridge and live load of a vehicle are considered. The polyurethane rubber pads have larger hardness than natural and chloroprene rubber pads and thus carry larger load bearing capacity. In addition, they showed higher stiffness with the same shape factor than the others and thus are more avaliable as for bridge bearings. Although natural and chloroprene rubber pads are elongated to large deformation in horizontal direction due to vertical loads, polyurethane rubber pads almost do not generate horizontal deformation due to vertical loads regardless to the thickness and hardness of the pads. Therefore, they do not need reinforced plate to restrict horizontal deformation.

Consolidation tests under various deformation modes were performed to investigate the effect of deformation modes on the coefficient of consolidation in the normally consolidated clay in remolded and undisturbed clay. The degree of soil anisotropy was evaluated using cross-anisotropic elasticity theory suggested by Graham et al.(1983). Experimental results showed that the vertical compressibility was larger than the horizontal compressibility by $12{\sim}21%$ for the remolded clay and by $23{\sim}60%$ for the undisturbed clay, respectively. The results of a series of consolidation tests under the specific deformation modes showed that the coefficient of consolidation under 1 dimensional vertical strain condition was larger than that under 3 dimensional strain condition due to different deformation mode. Furthermore, the coefficient of consolidation under 1 dimensional vertical strain condition was larger than that under 1 dimensional horizontal strain condition by $40{\sim}60%$ in undisturbed clay, which clearly emphasized the significant effect of soil anisotropy on the rate of consolidation. Consequently, it can be concluded that the anisotropic deformation modes of soils, especially naturally deposited clays, should be taken into account for more accurate evaluation of the coefficient of consolidation.
