본 연구에서는 인접 성토로 인하여 측방유동이 발생하는 연약한 점성토 지반에 시공된 교대말뚝기초를 원심모형실험으로 재현하여 지반조건과 성토지반의 시공속도에 따른 교대말뚝기초의 거동특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 지반조건과 성토지반 시공속도를 교대말뚝기초의 측방유동에 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 변수로 선정하여 총 6 종류의 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 본 실험에서 지반조건은 점성토 지반의 두께와 지층단면에 따라 세 가지 종류로 구분하였으며 성토하중 재하조건은 한계성토고까지 단계적으로 재하하는 방법(1m/30일, 1m/15일)과 한계성토고에 해당하는 하중을 급속재하 하는 방법으로 나누어 고려하였다. 그 결과 동일한 조건하에서 측방유동을 받는 교대말뚝기초의 비배수 단기거동과 장기거동을 파악하기 위해 성토하중 재하단계와 성토 후 압밀이 약 80% 진행된 단계에서의 지반-말뚝 거동특성을 비교ㆍ 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 편차 성토하중으로 인해 연약지반상 교대말뚝기초에 발생하는 측방유동압은 단계별 성토하중 재하시 사다리꼴 분포형태와 유사하였으며 이때 발생하는 최대 측방유동압($P_{max}$)과 편차 성토하중($\gamma$ H)의 비($\alpha$)는 비배수 상태인 단기거동시에는 0.75, 압밀이 약 80% 진행된 장기거동시에는 0.35 정도로 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Incheon Bridge, 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge, will be opened to the traffic in October 2009 and this will be the new landmark of the gearing up north-east Asia as well as the largest & longest bridge of Korea. Incheon Bridge is the integrated set of several special featured bridges including a magnificent cable-stayed girder bridge which has a main span of 800 m width to cross the navigation channel in and out of the Port of Incheon. Incheon Bridge is making an epoch of long-span bridge designs thanks to the fully application of the AASHTO LRFD (load & resistance factor design) to both the superstructures and the substructures. A state-of-the-art of the geotechnologies which were applied to the Incheon Bridge construction project is introduced. The most Large-diameter drilled shafts were penetrated into the bedrock to support the colossal superstructures. The bearing capacity and deformational characteristics of the foundations were verified through the world's largest static pile load test. 8 full-scale pilot piles were tested in both offshore site and onshore area prior to the commencement of constructions. Compressible load beyond 30,000 tonf pressed a single 3 m diameter foundation pile by means of bi-directional loading method including the Osterberg cell techniques. Detailed site investigation to characterize the subsurface properties had been carried out. Geotextile tubes, tied sheet pile walls, and trestles were utilized to overcome the very large tidal difference between ebb and flow at the foreshore site. 44 circular-cell type dolphins surround the piers near the navigation channel to protect the bridge against the collision with aberrant vessels. Each dolphin structure consists of the flat sheet piled wall and infilled aggregates to absorb the collision impact. Geo-centrifugal tests were performed to evaluate the behavior of the dolphin in the seabed and to verify the numerical model for the design. Rip-rap embankments on the seabed are expected to prevent the scouring of the foundation. Prefabricated vertical drains, sand compaction piles, deep cement mixings, horizontal natural-fiber drains, and other subsidiary methods were used to improve the soft ground for the site of abutments, toll plazas, and access roads. Light-weight backfill using EPS blocks helps to reduce the earth pressure behind the abutment on the soft ground. Some kinds of reinforced earth like as MSE using geosynthetics were utilized for the ring wall of the abutment. Soil steel bridges made of corrugated steel plates and engineered backfills were constructed for the open-cut tunnel and the culvert. Diverse experiences of advanced designs and constructions from the Incheon Bridge project have been propagated by relevant engineers and it is strongly expected that significant achievements in geotechnical engineering through this project will contribute to the national development of the longspan bridge technologies remarkably.
