In the design of a foundation, settlement of the foundation may exceed allowable design criteria even with a competent bearing stratum. In such a case, a piled-raft foundation system may be adopted using piles as settlement reducing component. In this paper, Disconnected Piled Raft Foundation (DPRF) system, which installs disconnected piles underneath the raft and uses the piles as ground reinforcements, is studied as a cost effective design method against the classical piled-raft foundation system. To this end, large size loading tests were carried out on weathered ground changing area replacement ratio and length of piles. The results indicated that the settlement of the reinforced ground was reduced by 34~87% and the allowable bearing pressure increased by 70% on average from those of the unreinforced original ground, respectively. The correlating formula between the area replacement ratio and the load bearing ratio of piles were derived from the test results and numerical analysis. From the correlation, a design method determining the size and the quantity of the disconnected piles to enhance the bearing capacity of original ground to the desired value was proposed based on one inch settlement criteria.

쉴드TBM의 제작기술 발전과 시공경험 축적으로, 쉴드터널은 전력, 통신 및 상하수도와 같은 소구경 터널에서 도로 및 철도와 같은 대구경 터널로 확대되고 있으며, 그에 따라 병설쉴드터널의 적용도 증가하고 있다. Peck(1969)에 의해 연약지반에서 단선쉴드터널의 지표침하형상이 Gaussian distribution으로 표현될 수 있음이 제시된 이후, 현장계측, 실내모형실험 및 수치해석 등의 방법을 통해 많은 연구에서 이의 적정성이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 현장 계측된 병설쉴드터널의 지표침하로부터 후행 터널(2^nd tunnel)에 의한 추가 지표침하 형상을 표현하기 위해 침하형상의 좌·우측에 Gaussian curve를 각각 적용함으로써, 침하형상을 보다 정확히 표현할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an investigation on bearing capacity, load-settlement behavior and safety factor of rock-soil slopes reinforced using geogrid-box method (GBM). To this end, small-scale laboratory studies were carried out to study the load-settlement response of a circular footing resting on unreinforced and reinforced rock-soil slopes. Several parameters including unit weight of rock-soil materials (loose- and dense-packing modes), slope height, location of footing relative to the slope crest, and geogrid tensile strength were studied. A series of finite element analysis were conducted using ABAQUS software to predict the bearing capacity behavior of slopes. Limit equilibrium and finite element analysis were also performed using commercially available software SLIDE and ABAQUS, respectively to calculate the safety factor. It was found that stabilization of rock-soil slopes using GBM significantly improves the bearing capacity and settlement behavior of slopes. It was established that, the displacement contours in the dense-packing mode distribute in a broader and deeper area as compared with the loose-packing mode, which results in higher ultimate bearing load. Moreover, it was found that in the loose-packing mode an increase in the vertical pressure load is accompanied with an increase in the soil settlement, while in the dense-packing mode the load-settlement curves show a pronounced peak. Comparison of bearing capacity ratios for the dense- and loose-packing modes demonstrated that the maximum benefit of GBM is achieved for rock-soil slopes in loose-packing mode. It was also found that by increasing the slope height, both the initial stiffness and the bearing load decreases. The results indicated a significant increase in the ultimate bearing load as the distance of the footing to the slope crest increases. For all the cases, a good agreement between the laboratory and numerical results was observed.

본 연구에서는 암석과 흙이 혼합된 성토재료를 대상으로 다짐 시 함수조건 및 입도조건 등에 따라 Wetting이 성토제체의 장기압축침하에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 완전 침수를 모사한 경우 침하량이 상대적으로 매우 크게 나타났으며, 강우침투와 같이 반복적인 함수비의 증가 시에도 반복적인 침하가 관측되었다. 반면 습윤상태에서 다져진 시료나 세립분이 없는 재료의 경우에는 Wetting에 의한 침하량이 상대적으로 적게 발생되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 동결 융해가 반복되는 경우 입자파쇄의 가속화로 압축침하가 지속적으로 발생되고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 이와 같은 재료에서의 장기적인 성토체 압축침하거동에는 크리프의 영향보다 함수비 증가나 반복적인 동결융해 조건이 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Tail-grouting is an effective measure in shield engineering for filling the gap at the shield tail to reduce ground deformation. However, the gap-filling ratio affects the value of the gap parameters, leading to different surface settlements. It is impossible to adjust the fill ratio indiscriminately to study its effect, because the allowable adjustment range of the grouting quantity is limited to ensure construction site safety. In this study, taking the shield tunnel section between Chaoyanggang Station and Shilihe Station of Beijing Metro Line 17 as an example, the correlation between the tail-grouting parameter and the surface settlement is investigated and the optimal grouting quantity is evaluated. This site is suitable for conducting field tests to reduce the tail-grouting quantity of shield tunneling over a large range. In addition, the shield tunneling under different grouting parameters was simulated. Furthermore, we analyzed the evolution law of the surface settlement under different grouting parameters and obtained the difference in the settlement parameters for each construction stage. The results obtained indicate that the characteristics of the grout affect the development of the surface settlement. Therefore, reducing the setting time or increasing the initial strength of the grout could effectively suppress the development of surface subsidence. As the fill ratio decreases, the loose zone of the soil above the tunnel expands, and the soil deformation is easily transmitted to the surface. Meanwhile, owing to insufficient grout support, the lateral pressure on the tunnel segments is significantly reduced, and the segment moves considerably after being removed from the shield tail.

Client satisfaction(CS) has played an important role in the assessment of health service quality. Thus client satisfaction management(CSM) has been highlighted as one of strategic management. Specifically, the client satisfaction approach by moment of truth(MOT) makes significant contributions to the settlement of bottlenecks on client satisfaction. This research deals with the two issues of client satisfaction in large, small and medium sized hospitals. With regard to CS, one issue is to examine the difference of patient satisfaction through MOT between them and the other derives a strategy for improving client satisfaction from the viewpoint of small and medium sized hospitals. We use the survey data for 4 large and 14 small and medium sized hospitals in 1998. Major findings of this research can be summarized as follows: first, in case of outpatients, small and medium sized hospitals have a comparative advantage on contact-points of preparation and accounts over large ones. Second, while inpatients in small and medium sized hospitals are very satisfied with the contact-point of accounts, they are dissatisfied with the contact-points of facilities and hospital rooms. Under the given budget and time constraints, the settlement of these bottlenecks could be effective strategies for improving their patients' satisfaction.

The recent huge earthquake ground motion records in Japan result in the reconsideration of seismic design forces for nuclear power stations from the view point of seismological research. In addition, the seismic design force should be defined also from the view point of structural engineering. In this paper it is shown that one of the occurrence mechanisms of such large acceleration in recent seismic records (recorded in or near massive structures and not free-field ground motions) is due to the interaction between a massive building and its surrounding soil which induces amplification of local mode in the surface soil. Furthermore on-site investigation after earthquakes in the nuclear power stations reveals some damages of soil around the building (cracks, settlement and sand boiling). The influence of plastic behavior of soil is investigated in the context of interaction between the structure and the surrounding soil. Moreover the amplification property of the surface soil is investigated from the seismic records of the Suruga-gulf earthquake in 2009 and the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake in 2011. Two methods are introduced for the analysis of the non-stationary process of ground motions. It is shown that the non-stationary Fourier spectra can detect the temporal change of frequency contents of ground motions and the displacement profile integrated from its acceleration profile is useful to evaluate the seismic behavior of the building and the surrounding soil.

중동지역의 Sabkha층 탄산질 모래는 낮은 전단강도를 나타내며, 입자파쇄시 내부공극의 외부노출로 인한 즉시침하와 파쇄입자의 재배열로 인한 시간 의존적 이차침하가 발생된다. 현장 대형기초에 의한 Sabkha층의 침하특성을 분석하기 위하여 Hydrotest를 수행하였고, 실내시험 결과와 비교하였다. 삼축압축시험 결과 일차입자파쇄의 정도에 따라 Sabkha층 GL-1.5 m에서 Strain-hardening, GL-7.0 m에서 Strain-perfect, GL-7.5 m에서 Strain-softening 형태의 응력-변형 거동이 나타났다. 일반적으로 전반전단파괴는 입자가 조밀하고 지반의 강도가 큰 경우 발생하나 Sabkha층 탄산질 모래에서는 Strain-softening 거동 발생시 Strain-hardening과 Strain-perfect 거동에 비하여 오히려 입자파쇄 강도가 작아지는 현상이 발생하였다. 이러한 응력-변형 특성은 상대밀도 증가시 전단강도가 증가하는 석영질 모래의 특성과는 상이한 것이다. 현장 Hydrotest시 입자파쇄의 영향으로 간극수압 소산 후에도 지속적인 이차압축침하가 발생되었으며, 입자파쇄응력이 상대적으로 작고 Strain-softening 거동, 혹은 Strain-perfect 거동을 나타낸 하부 Sabkha층의 입자파쇄가 기초침하에 지배적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 지진후의 침하에 미치는 반복 전단방향의 영향을 명확히 하기 위해， 일본의 표준사인 Toyoura sand와 천연모래인 Genkai sand 및 고로수쇄슬래그(GBFS)에 대해서 다축(다방향) 전단실험을 수행하였다. 공시체는 높이 75mm, 직경 20mm이다. 일련의 실험에서, 변형률 반복 재하회수 n=5, 20, 30, 100, 200회로 변화시켜 행하였으며, 전단변형률 진폭은 0.1%에서 1.0%까지 변화시켰다. 각 공시체의 상대밀도는 50, 60, 70%를 대상으로 하였다. Toyoura sand와 고로수쇄슬래그에 대한 실험결과로부터, 반복전단후의 침하는 상대밀도가 작을수록 크게 되며, 전단변형률 진폭의 증가와 더불어 크게 나타났다. 반복전단 방향의 차이에 따른 영향이 감소한 후에 Toyoura sand의 전단후의 침하는 일정치에 수렴하지만, 고로수쇄슬래그는 반복전단회수의 증가와 더불어 증가되었다. 또한, 반복전단후의 침하는 Kaolinite > Toyoura sand > Genkai sand > GBFS의 순으로 나타났다.
