A difference in subgrade settlement between two rails of a track manifests as lateral differential subgrade settlement. This settlement causes unsteadiness in the motion of trains passing through the corresponding area. To illustrate the effect of lateral differential subgrade settlement on the dynamic response of a vehicle-track coupling system, a three-dimensional vehicle-track-subgrade coupling model was formulated by combining the vehicle-track dynamics theory and the finite element method. The wheel/rail force, car body acceleration, and derailment factor are chosen as evaluation indices of the system dynamic response. The effects of the amplitude and wavelength of lateral differential subgrade settlement as well as the driving speed of the vehicle are analyzed. The study reveals the following: The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system generally increase linearly with the driving speed when the train passes through a lateral subgrade settlement area. The wheel/rail force acting on a rail with a large settlement exceeds that on a rail with a small settlement. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system increase with the amplitude of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. For a 250-km/h train speed, the proposed maximum amplitude for a lateral differential settlement with a wavelength of 20 m is 10 mm. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system decrease with an increase in the wavelength of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. To achieve a good operation quality of a train at a 250-km/h driving speed, the wavelength of a lateral differential subgrade settlement with an amplitude of 20 mm should not be less than 15 m. Monitoring lateral differential settlements should be given more emphasis in routine high-speed railway maintenance and repairs.

In this study, it was developed that the software could be used to estimate consolidation settlement by curve fitting method according to Terzaghi's consolidation theory on the condition of gradual incremental loading, and the method of estimating settlement caused by lateral displacement was suggested, in which the settlement was calculated from the difference between the settlement calculated with the developed software using the early part of measured data and the settlement measured for the short duration from the beginning of embankment in the field. The verification of the suggested method of estimating settlement caused by lateral displacement showed good results.

This paper reports a case study of aboutment displacement and pavement settlement observed at the construction site for highway bridges. The emphasis was on quantifying the horizontal deflections of about and pavement settlement on the backfill surface. It is shown that in soft clay, bridge aboutments on pile foundations are subjected to lateral earth pressures due to lateral soil movement. Based on the results analyzed, the earth pressure was predicted by deflection shape of piles based on the results of a numerical analysis and an analytical study. Also, the long term settlement of soil below pavement was estimated.

본 연구에서는 연약지반에 설치된 DCM 개량체의 개량효과를 개량형식에 따라 정량적으로 비교하기 위하여 일련의 실내모형 실험을 수행하였다. 즉, 무보강 및 3종류의 DCM 개량체 형식에 대한 상재하중 재하에 따른 지반 거동을 재현하고, 지반의 침하량 및 측방변위량을 분석함으로써 DCM 개량형식에 따른 연약지반의 거동을 평가하였다. 먼저, 모형지반에 대한 성토하중 재하시험 결과 무보강의 경우에는 작은 하중 증가에도 침하가 급격히 발생한 반면에, DCM 개량체가 적용된 경우에는 상대적으로 적은 침하가 발생하였다. 그리고 상재하중 증가에 따른 지반의 측방유동 거동을 분석한 결과, 무보강의 경우에는 작은 하중 증가에도 불구하고 측방변위가 크게 발생되었다. 그러나 DCM 개량체가 적용된 경우에는 상대적으로 적은 측방유동이 발생되었으며, 동일한 하중조건에 대한 측방유동 발생량의 크기는 말뚝식, 벽식, 격자식의 순으로 나타남을 확인하였다. 따라서 격자식 DCM 개량체가 적용된 경우가 측방유동에 대하여 우수한 지반개량효과를 나타낸 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 DCM으로 보강된 연약지반의 거동특성을 평가하기 위하여, 모형실험결과를 이용하여 DCM 배치 형상에 따른 침하-측방변위, 침하-융기 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 모형지반의 지표면 누적 침하 거동은 DCM이 적용된 지반에서 상대적으로 침하가 적게 발생하였고, 격자식, 벽식, 말뚝식의 순으로 동일한 하중조건에서 침하량이 적게 발생한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 경향은 측방변위량과 융기량에 대해서도 동일하게 나타난 것을 확인하였다. 연약지반의 침하와 측방유동의 관계를 분석한 결과, 기존 연구(Leroueil et al., 1990)와 유사한 거동을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. DCM 배치 형상에 따른 지반개량효과를 평가한 결과, 측방유동과 지반 융기에 대하여 격자식 보강이 벽식 및 말뚝식 보강에 비해 탁월한 지반개량효과를 보유한 것으로 평가되었다.

In this study, SCP method was used by purpose to improve loose sand and soft clay that is drilled Sand Compaction Pile in underground. Settlement behavior of field analyzed through SCP method. When sand Compaction Pile drilled in clay, forming composite ground that foundation and Sand Compaction Pile behavior. According to SCP method can expect bearing capacity improvement, Settlement reduction, lateral flow protection. SCP increase the consolidation settlement of ground and it reduce settlement for that purpose increase liquefaction resistance, lateral Resistance. Because SCP had been widely used for sand. Area of Inchon-A by sand compose clay and silt to upper Ground and compose soft clay to under ground. After pre-loading, it measured settlement by extensometer and settlement extensometer that purpose of ground improvement with 13% in replacement ratio. The result analyzed settlement behavior is similar to Multi-layered Ground that it happened to elastic settlement at upper ground and to consolidation settlement at under ground.

This study aims at predicting the behavior of saturated soft clayey foundation subjected to earth structure loads such as tidal dike, embankment etc. by using Biot's consolidation equation coupled with elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model. To validate the computer program developed b author, a case study was performed for the site of Kwang-yang steel works improved by sand drain, where since the beginning of the works, field measurements(settlement, lateral displacement and excess pore water pressure) had been accurately achieved. Comparisons between numerical results and observation values were carried out. The main results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. Settlement and lateral displacement between numerical and observation values show satisfactory accordance. 2. As for the exess pre water pressure, numerical results appear to be larger than observation values, which may be due to the existence of sand seams which were not found during soil investigation. 3. Useful data available for failure prediction of soft foundation can be secured by examining lateral displacement, settlement, exess pore water pressure and stress paths.

Attaching shelf to retaining structure leads to a decrease in the total lateral earth pressure. This decrease enables the retaining structures to become more stable, to have small displacement, and to exhibit lower bending moments, the relief shelves effects are analyzed using FEM in order to understand how they stabilize cantilever wall in this study. Several models are varied by changing location and width of shelves to realize earth pressure and displacements of retaining wall. The displacement is getting smaller because earth pressure acting on shelf increases as shelves locations are lower and width is longer. The ground settlement variation effects caused by relief shelves are studied also. The ground settlement increases abruptly where shelf location is between of 0.5H and 0.625H, and settlement decreases suddenly where shelf width is between b/h=0.375 and b/h=0.500. The shelf significantly reduces earth pressure and movement of the wall. This decrease in the lateral pressure increases the retaining structure stability.

In soft ground the settlement criterion usually governs. Therefore, it is very important not only reasonable assessment of the allowable bearing capacity of the soil but also reasonable assessment of settlement. In the previous studies by many other researchers, load concentration ratio and settlement reduction factor are usually proposed for estimating the settlement of granular compaction piles. In the previous studies, the reinforced ground with granular compaction piles is simplified as composite ground and the analysis is performed with in the basis of this assumption. However, the lateral deformation of granular compaction pile could not be considered and only the relative vertical strength between pile and soils could be considered in the analysis. In this study, a method adapting the Tresca failure criterion is proposed for calculating settlement of granular compaction pile. Proposed method can be considered the strength of pile material, pile diameter, installing distance of pile and the deformation behavior of vertical and horizontal directions of pile. In the presented study, large-scale field load test is performed and the results are described. Also, predictions of settlements from the proposed method are compared with the results of the load test. In addition, a series of parametric study is performed and the design parameters are analyzed.
