In the current paper the results of a numerical simulation that were verified by a well instrumented experimental procedure for studying the arching effect over a trapdoor in sand is presented. To simulate this phenomenon with continuum mechanics, the experimental procedure is modeled in ABAQUS code using stress dependent hardening in elastic state and plastic strain dependent frictional hardening-softening with Mohr Coulomb failure criterion applying user sub-routine. The apparatus comprises rectangular trapdoors with different width that can yield downward while stresses and deformations are recorded simultaneously. As the trapdoor starts to yield, the whole soil mass deforms elastically. However, after an immediate specified displacement, depending on the width of the trapdoor, the soil mass behaves plastically. This behavior of sand occurs due to the flow phenomenon and continues until the stress on trapdoor is minimized. Then the failure process develops in sand and the measured stress on the trapdoor shows an ascending trend. This indicates gradual separation of the yielding mass from the whole soil body. Finally, the flow process leads to establish a stable vault of sand called arching mechanism or progressive collapse of the soil body.

시설하우스 내 토양의 염류를 제거하기 위한 기존 관수제염의 문제점은 담수 시 염류가 심토층으로 이동하게 되며 심토층으로 이동된 염류는 시설하우스 내 모세관현상으로 다시 표토층으로 용출되어 순환을 하는 것이다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 기존의 관수제염법을 일부 수정한 방법을 개발하였다. 토양을 담수시킨 후 부유물질을 침전시키고 상등액의 일부를 외부로 빼줌으로써 토양 하부로 염류가 이동하지 않도록 하는 방법이다. 이 방법을 통해 심토층으로 염류가 확산이 되지 않았으며 모세관 현상에 의한 염류의 재집적을 방지 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 밖으로 유출되는 상등액에는 질소, 인, 칼리 등 비료성분을 포함하고 있어 비료로 재이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 소량의 MgO 투여와 30분 침전을 통해 담수의 탁도 성분을 초기 탁도의 95%이상을 침전 시킬 수 있었다. 담수 내에 암모니아와 인을 함유하고 그들의 농도가 줄어든 것으로 보아 일부 struvite 침전이 이루어졌으며 토양 내에서 천천히 용해되어 작물이 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 터널의 상부에 작용하는 토압을 평가하는데 있어서 기존의 Terzaghi 공식이 가지는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 흙의 팽창성(Dilatancy)을 고려하여 Terzaghi 공식을 수정하였다. Terzaghi 공식과 수정식에 대한 수학적 해석결과, 터널의 토압은 수정식이 Terzaghi 공식에 비해 작게 나타났으며 토피고가 커질수록 그 차이는 증가하였다. 터널모형실험 결과와 비교해 본 결과, Terzaghi 공식에 의해 계산된 상부토압은 굴착 전 토압의 약 70%이며, 수정식에 의하면 약 60% 정도로 나타났고, 터널모형실험에 의해 측정된 토압은 약 40% 정도 임을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 유한요소해석을 이용하여 Terzaghi 공식과 수정식에 의해 산정된 터널 상부토압과 전단변형률을 비교해본 결과 수학적 해석결과와 동일하게 수정식이 Terzaghi 공식보다 작게 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 원심모형실험 결과와 국내.외 현장자료를 바탕으로 연약지반에 시공된 교대말뚝기초의 측방이동 발생 가능성을 판정할 수 있는 기준을 비교.검토하였다. 이를 위해 교대말뚝기초의 측방이동에 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 변수로서 지반조건과 성토지반 시공속도를 선정하여 총 6 종류의 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 본 실험에서는 점성토 지반의 과잉간극수압과 지표 침하량, 교대말뚝기초의 수평변위와 휨변형, 교대말뚝기초에 작용하는 측방유동압을 성토하중 재하단계와 성토 후 80% 이상 압밀이 진행된 단계에서 측정하였으며 그 결과를 토대로 교대말뚝기초의 측방이동 판정기준을 분석하였다. 또한 원심모형실험 결과와 더불어 국내.외 현장자료를 조사 및 수집하여 교대말뚝기초의 측방이동 판정기준으로 일본 도로공단에서 제시한 측방이동지수(F)와 한국도로공사에서 제시한 수정 I지수($M_I$)에 대하여 그 타당성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 교대말뚝기초의 측방이동 판정기준으로 측방이동지수(F)는 0.03, 수정 I지수($M_I$)는 2.00으로 한계값을 수정하는 것이 타당한 것으로 나타났다.

The shear strength reduction finite element method (SSRFEM) is a powerful tool for slope stability analysis. The factor of safety (FOS) of the slope can be easily calculated only through reducing effective cohesion (c′) and tangent of effective friction angle ($tan{\varphi}^{\prime}$) in equal proportion. However, this method may not be applicable to soil slope under wetting-drying cycles (WDCs), because the influence of WDCs on c′ and $tan{\varphi}^{\prime}$ may be different. To research the method of estimating FOS of soil slopes under WDCs, this paper presents an experimental study firstly to investigate the effects of WDCs on the parameters of shear strength and stiffness. Twelve silty clay samples were subjected to different number of WDCs and then tested with triaxial test equipment. The test results show that WDCs have a degradation effect on shear strength (${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_3)_f$, secant modulus of elasticity ($E_s$) and c′ while little influence on ${\varphi}^{\prime}$. Hence, conventional SSRFEM which reduces c′ and $tan{\varphi}^{\prime}$ in equal proportion cannot be adopted to compute the FOS of slope under conditions of WDCs. The SSRFEM should be modified. In detail, c′ is merely reduced among shear strength parameters, and elasticity modulus is reduced correspondingly. Besides, a new approach based on sudden substantial changes in the displacement of marked nodes is proposed to identify the slope failure in SSRFEM. Finally, the modified SSRFEM is applied to compute the FOS of a slope example.

In this study the modified seismic coefficient method for seismic analysis of buried box structures is developed for practical purpose. The loading coefficient in the modified seismic coefficient method is determined from the results of the response displacement analysis. In the developed method adequate velocity response spectrum in accordance with soil condition is also needed to seismic design of buried box structures, In order to investigate applicability of the modified seismic coefficient method various analyses are performed with different parameters such as depth of base rock height and width of box buried depth and value of standard penetration test. Results from the modified seismic coefficient method are compared with those of the response displacement method in terms of the maximum bending moment and the location of it. From the comparison it is shown that the feasibility of the modified seismic coefficient method for seismic analysis of buried box structures.

Soil loss is an accompanying phenomenon of hydrologic cycle in watersheds. Both rainfall drops and runoff lead to soil particle detachment, the detached soil particles are transported into streams by runoff. Here, a sediment-laden water problem can be issued if soil particles are severely detached and transported into stream in the watershed. There is a need to estimate or simulate soil erosion in watersheds so that an adequate plan to manage soil erosion can be established. Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), therefore, was developed and modified by many researchers for their watersheds, moreover the simple model, USLE, has been employed in many hydrologic models for soil erosion simulations. While the USLE has been applied even in South-Korea, the model is often regarded as being limited in applications for the watersheds in South-Korea since monthly conditions against soil erosion on soil surface are not capable to represent. Thus, the monthly USLE factors against soil erosion, soil erodibility and crop management factors, were established for four major watersheds, which are Daecheong-dam, Soyang-dam, Juam-dam, and Imha-dam watersheds. The monthly factors were established by recent fifteen years from 2000 to 2015. Five crops were selected for the monthly crop management factor establishments. Soil loss estimations with the modified factors were compared to conventional approach that is average annual estimations. The differences ranged from 9.3 % (Juam-dam watershed) to 28.1 % (Daecheong-dam watershed), since the conventional approaches were not capable of seasonally and regionally different conditions.

In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology called as the NDB(New Down and Board) soil nailing system is introduced. To improve the trafficability, workability, and economical efficiency, SMC(Sheet Molding Compound) board is adopted instead of using the concrete block facing. The SMC board has a distinct advantage of showing a fine view by directly coating with any kind of environmental photos. Composite material properties of the SMC board and cement grout are distinguished features of the NDB soil nailing system. In the present study, both laboratory tests(bending and punching failure tests) and field pull-out tests are carried out to analyze the behavior characteristics of the NDB soil nailing system, including the stress and strain distribution.

In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the pretension soil nailing system, is developed to reduce both facing displacements and ground surface settlements in top-down excavation process as well as to increase the global stability. Up to now, the pretension soil nailing system, has been investigated mainly focusing on an establishment of the design procedure. In the present study, laboratory model tests are carried out to investigate the failure mechanism and behavior characteristics of the pretension soil-nailed wall. Various results of model tests are also analyzed to provide a fundamental basis for the efficient design.
