각종 연직배수재가 설치된 연약지반의 전단강도, 지반변형의 특성을 조사하기 위해 우리나라 서해안과 남해안 지역에서 계측관리가 실시된 13개 연약지반현장 200개소에서 계측자료를 수집하였다. 먼저 연약지반의 침하량과 측방변위량과의 관계를 성토 초기 단계, 성토 완료 단계 및 성토 완료 후 단계의 세 단계로 구분하여 조사하였다. 다음으로 성토압과 성토고가 연약지반의 비배수전단강도와 어떤 관계에 있는가를 조사하였다. 검토결과, 침하의 증가량에 대한 수평변위의 증가량은 성토 초기 단계에서는 작았으나 점차 증가하여 성토 완료 단계에서 가장 크게 발생되었다. 그러나 성토 완료 후에도 침하량은 계속 증가하고 있었으며 수평변위는 거의 수렴하였으므로 대부분의 측방유동은 성토시공 중에 발생되었다. 침하량증분에 대한 수평변위증분의 비는 성토 초기 단계에서 20% 정도로 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제시한 값과 일치하였으나 성토 완료 단계에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제시한 값의 절반 정도인 50%밖에 나타나지 않았다. 그리고 성토 완료 후 단계에서는 1%에서 9% 사이로 아주 작게 발생되어 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제시한 값과 상당한 차이를 보였다. 모든 현장에서 설계성토고가 초기비배수강도 상태에서의 항복성토고보다 높은 상태였으므로, 연약지반 속에 전단변형 내지 전단파괴가 발생될 것이 예상되었다. 그러나 강도가 증가된 후에는 모든 현장에서 설계 성토고가 항복성토고보다 낮게 되어 안전한 성토시공이 가능하였던 것으로 판단된다. 도로성토시공을 안전하게 실시하기 위해서는 성토하중이 초기비배수전단강도의 5.14배가 넘지 않도록 하여야 하며 증가된 비배수전단강도의 3.0배 이하가 되도록 설계하여야 한다.

Field inspections and laboratory tests for 31 agricultural reservoirs in Kyungki province were performed to provide basic data for maintenance and rehabilitation of agricultural reservoirs and to evaluate structural degradation of agricultural reservoirs Results of the study are as follows : 1) From survey's results of embankments, signs of settlement and lateral movement are appeared in 17 reservoirs. Crest settlement of 20~80cm, downstream settlement of 10~90cm, and 20~160cm lateral movement of embankments are detected from settlement and movement analysis of 17 reservoirs. Crest and downstream settlements and lateral movement are greatly occurred in 20 ~ 40 years after embankment construction. 2) About 39% of total reservoirs shows seepage problems occurred in the lower part of berm and retaining wall located between embankment and spillway. Probability of seepage problems is higher at retaining wall than others. 3) Concrete strength estimated by Schmidt hammer in structures of reservoirs is a range of 100~l50kgf/$cm^2$ and average deviation of concrete strength is about l0kgf/$cm^2$. Strength difference$({\delta}S)$ between compressive strength estimated by Schmidt hammer and uniaxial compressive strength of concrete core is about $\pm$100kgf/$cm^2$. This difference is due to absence or presence of reinforced bar in concrete core, variable length of concrete core and limitation of Schmidt hammer. 4) About 68% of total reservoirs shows leaching, 58% alkali-aggregate reaction and 71 % abrasion/frost. Leaching, alkali-aggregate reaction and abrasion/frost occurred in most reservoirs when passed 10 years after construction of structure parts.

The importance of considering soil-structure interaction effect in the analysis and design of RC frame buildings is increasingly recognized but still not penetrated to the grass root level owing to various complexities involved. It is well established fact that the soil-structure interaction effect considerably influence the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral seismic loads. The shear walls are often provided in such buildings to increase the lateral stability to resist seismic lateral loads. In the present work, the linear soil-structure analysis of a G+5 storey RC shear wall building frame resting on isolated column footings and supported by deformable soil is presented. The finite element modelling and analysis is carried out using ANSYS software under normal loads as well as under seismic loads. Various load combinations are considered as per IS-1893 (Part-1):2002. The interaction analysis is carried out with and without shear wall to investigate the effect of inclusion of shear wall on the total and differential settlements in the footings due to deformations in the soil mass. The frame and soil mass both are considered to behave in linear elastic manner. It is observed that the soil-structure interaction effect causes significant total and differential settlements in the footings. Maximum total settlement in footings occurs under vertical loads and inner footings settle more than outer footings creating a saucer shaped settlement profile of the footings. Each combination of seismic loads causes maximum differential settlement in one or more footings. Presence of shear wall decreases pulling/pushing effect of seismic forces on footings resulting in more stability to the structures.

The urbanization and increasing rate of population demands effective means of transportation system (basement and tunnels) as well as high-rise building (resting on piled foundation) for accommodation. Therefore, it unavoidable to construct basements (i.e., excavation) nearby piled foundation. Since the basement excavation inevitably induces soil movement and stress changes in the ground, it may cause differential settlements to nearby piled raft foundation. To understand settlement and load transfer mechanism in the piled raft due to excavation-induced stress release, numerical parametric studies are carried out in this study. The effects of excavation depths (i.e., formation level) relative to piled raft were investigated by simulating the excavation near the pile shaft (i.e., H_e/L_p=0.67), next to (H_e/L_p=1.00) and below the pile toe (H_e/L_p=1.33). In addition, effects of sand density and raft fixity condition were investigated. The computed results have revealed that the induced settlement, tilting, pile lateral movement and load transfer mechanism in the piled raft depends upon the embedded depth of the diaphragm wall. Additional settlement of the piled raft due to excavation can be account for apparent loss of load carrying capacity of the piled raft (ALPC). The highest apparent loss of piled raft capacity ALPC (on the account of induced piled raft settlement) of 50% was calculated in in case of H_e/L_p = 1.33. Furthermore, the induced settlement decreased with increasing the relative density from 30% to 90%. On the contrary, the tilting of the raft increases in denser ground. The larger bending moment and lateral force was induced at the piled heads in fixed and pinned raft condition.

This study is a suggest a measurement method of lateral displacement, which can be used to judge the stability of bridge abutment on soil undergoing lateral movement. The abutment of bridge on soft foundation makes lateral movement due to the settlement of back fill and lateral flow. To measure the displacement of such a abutment, there are a lot of indirect method for measurement such as survey of leveling or inclinometer gauge around the abutment. But all of them are not sufficient to confirm the ground behavior and measure the exact lateral behavior of structure. As making the structure and pile cooperatively by measuring the movement of lateral displacement, for measuring the abutment displacement precisely by using the inclinometer. In this work, we try to suggest efficient measuring method of abutment displacement and its application.

In order to constrain the railway roadbed settlement which causes track irregularity, and thus threats running stability and ride quality, advanced Back-to-Back (BTB) reinforced retaining wall was numerically analyzed as railway roadbed structure. This study is intended to improve conventional Back-to-Back reinforced retaining wall as the technology which would reduce the roadbed settlement in a way of constraining the lateral displacement of its prestressed vertical facing and inducing arching effects in roadbed (backfill) placed between masonry diaphragm wall and vertical facing. As a result of numerical analysis, it was found that the roadbed settlement was reduced by 10% due to the prestressed vertical facing and embedded masonry diaphragm wall of the advanced Back-to-Back reinforced retaining wall system.

연약지반상 성토시, 성토하중은 연약지반에 편재하중으로 작용하게 되어 기초 연약지반의 과도한 침하와 측방유동을 야기할 수 있다. 연약지반의 과도한 변형은 결국 성토체 자체와 인접 지반 및 구조물의 안전을 위협하게 된다. 연약지반의 변형거동에 영향을 미치는 요인은 크게 성토하중 조건과 지반조건으로 구분할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이들 조건을 달리한 5회의 모형실험을 수행하여, 성토하중 재하가 기초 연약지반의 변형거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 모형실험 결과, 성토하중 재하가 지중 측방변위 발생에 영향을 미치는 영향거리는 성토체 선단부로부터 재하폭의 2배까지인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 모형실험 결과를 근거로, 성토속도(v, kPa/day)와 일평균 침하량(${\Delta}s$, mm/day) 사이의 관계식과 성토속도와 일평균 지중 최대수평변위(${\Delta}y_m$, mm/day) 사이의 상관관계식을 제안하였다.

A new foundation type which is called Top-Base method has been used frequently in engineering practices in Korea. In this study, the settlement behavior of concrete Top-Base foundation on soft ground is investigated since the consolidation settlement of the embedding depth and the effect of footing dimensions are not included in current Korean criterion (2007). To obtain detailed information, the model tests of the Top-Base foundation are performed using the PLAXIS 3D finite element analysis. It is shown that in-situ measurements and finite element analysis of the behavior of foundations indicate that consolidation settlement is reduced up and bearing capacity of the foundation increases up to 50%~100%, compared to the primary non-treated ground. Based on this study, it is found that the Top-Base foundation prevents the lateral deformation of soft ground and reduces its negative dilatancy to the surface settlement, and that the foundation creates rather uniform stress distribution under it to increase its bearing capacity. It is also found that the total settlement of Top-Base foundation was highly dependent on the consolidation settlement and footing configurations.

To study the influences of tunneling on the earth pressure and ground settlement when the tunnel passes through the adjacent underground retaining structure, 30 two-dimensional model tests were carried out taking into account the ratios of tunnel excavation depth (H) to lateral width (w), excavation width (B), and excavation distance using a custom-made test device and an analogical soil. Tunnel crossing adjacent existing retaining structure (TCE) and tunnel crossing adjacent newly-built retaining structure (TCN) were simulated and the earth pressure variations and ground settlement distribution during excavation were analyzed. For TCE condition, the earth pressure increments, maximum ground settlement and the curvature of the ground settlement curve are negatively related to H/B, but positively related to H/s and H/w. For TCN condition, most trends are consistent with TCE except that the earth pressure increments and the curvature of ground settlement curve are negatively related to H/w. The maximum ground settlement is larger than that observed in tunnel crossing the existing underground structure. This study provides an assessment basis for the design and construction under confined space conditions.
