In soft ground, There are many case that Bridge Abutment is constructed after soil improvement in order to reduce the Negative Friction and prevent from Lateral Soil movements of Bridge Abutment. That section of Horizontal Subgrade Reaction $Modulus(K_h)$ derivation has much important mean due to Horizontal Stability of Abutment. It is come from behavior of Pile and Soil within depth of $1/\beta$. After Soil Improvement, however, If Bridge Abutment was construction, It's not impossible to carry out Field Investigation After Ground of Improved at design stage. Therefore, It's not able to derivate Horizontal Subgrade Reaction $Modulus(K_h)$. Therefore, in this case of study compare with Field Construction Test Data in order to derivation of Horizontal Subgrade Reaction $Modulus(K_h)$ and Reliability in terms of ground of Bridge Abutment by Sand Compaction Pile(SCP) during design of The 2nd Bridge Connection Road of Incheon International Airport. In this paper determine, Soil Property(The rate of strength increase, $c_u$ so on) and Horizontal Subgrade Reaction $Modulus(K_h)$ after soil improvement at design stage.

Even though decision of coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction is important in analysis for pile under lateral load, the behavior of pile under lateral loading is estimated differently due to using established suggestion. Therefore this study estimates coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction by using Chang's method or numerical inverse analysis method with the result of lateral load test. Then this study investigates the adequacy and reliability for coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction. The analytical results of coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction with lateral load test showed that coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction with Chang's method was underestimated as compared with inverse analysis. Deformation modulus of foundation by Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges and Eo${\fallingdotseq}$1,400~1,600N showed similar range like range of coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction with lateral load test.
