This paper presents an efficient method utilizing user-defined computer functional codes to determine the reliability of an embankment slope with spatially varying soil properties in real time. The soils' mechanical properties varied with the soil layers that had different degrees of compaction and moisture content levels. The Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) for the degree of compaction and Kriging simulation of moisture content variation were adopted and programmed to predict their spatial distributions, respectively, that were subsequently used to characterize the spatial distribution of the soil shear strengths. The shear strength parameters were then integrated into the Geostudio command file to determine the safety factor of the embankment slope. An explicit metamodal for the performance function, using the Kriging method, was established and coded to efficiently compute the failure probability of slope with varying moisture contents. Sensitivity analysis showed that the proposed method significantly reduced the computational time compared to Monte Carlo simulation. About 300 times LHS Geostudio computations were needed to optimize precision and efficiency in determining the failure probability. The results also revealed that an embankment slope is prone to high failure risk if the degree of compaction is low and the moisture content is high.

Because general laboratory tests for sand compaction pile method including unit-cell test device have fixed outside diameter, as area replacement ratio increase, diameter of sand pile increase. These condition can bring about overestimation of stiffness of composite ground. In addition, existing large soil box which consist of bellows type loading plate can occur serious mistake in checking the amount of drained water because there are additional drainage along the inside wall in device. Overcoming these shortcoming, this paper developed modified large scale soil box consist of piston type load plate. In this study, using this device, series of modified large scale soil box tests were performed, and investigated the settlement and stress transportation characteristics with area replacement ratio in sand compaction pile method.

Dewatered sludge of 400,000t/y from water treatment plants in Korea is being disposed through landfill and ocean dumping. However, the disposal is posing more and more serious environmental problems at the same time not only because of landfill site shortage in municipal suburbs, but because of the concern it will contaminate the oceans. In this study, the research on utilizing the sludge dried by flash dryer as covering soil in the landfill sites was carried out to solve these problems on environmental affinity. Both dewatered and dried sludge were exposed to the natural condition and observed according to the atmospheric changes. An experiment of soil engineering characteristics of the dried sludge and tests on mixed sludge(silty sandy soil : dried sludge = 10:90 ~ 30:70) such as particle size distribution, liquid and plastic limit, moisture content, specific gravity and compaction test were carried out. According to the compaction test, the compaction was confirmed as the optimum water content ratio was observed in the condition of SM-silty sand of particle size distribution, NP of liquid and plastic limit, 101.4% of moisture content, 2.04~2.12 of specific gravity. The results showed that dried sludges mixed with at least 30% of natural soil could be used as daily covering soil in the landfill sites.

최근 해빙기에 발생하는 지반붕괴로 인한 건설재해가 증가하고 있으며 이는 동절기에 시행되는 다짐시공과 관련이 많다. 영하온도에서 다짐을 실시할 경우 다짐효과가 감소하며 이에 따른 해빙기 지반의 거동 변화를 파악하는 것은 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 최근 국내 지반공학 분야에서 불포화 영역에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 만큼 지반재료의 영하온도 다짐 및 동결융해에 따른 불포화 특성을 파악한다면 앞으로 관련 분야의 연구자들에게도 좋은 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동절기 다짐에 따른 지반의 불포화 특성을 파악하기 위해 상온($18^{\circ}C$)과 영하온도($-3^{\circ}C$, $-8^{\circ}C$)에서 수행한 다짐시험의 결과를 바탕으로 성형한 시료에 불포화 함수특성시험과 불포화 일축압축시험을 수행하였으며, 시료에 동결융해를 반복적으로 가한 후 불포화 함수특성시험 및 일축압축시험을 수행하여 동결융해가 작용함에 따른 지반의 흡수력 및 불포화 특성의 변화를 파악하였다. 시험결과 영하온도에서의 다짐 및 동결융해에 의한 흡수력의 변화와 강도 및 강성의 감소를 확인하였다. 특히 풍화토의 경우 영하온도에서의 다짐과 동결융해가 진행될수록 강도와 흡수력이 상당히 감소하는 것으로 나타나 지반의 안정성에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 개발한 Chemical Compaction Pile(이하 CCP)공법의 연약지반 개량의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 모형 아크릴 토조와 CCP 전용 토조를 제작하였으며, CCP를 구성하는 주재료인 Bottom Ash, 생석회 및 첨가재의 배합비를 실험변수로 하여 지반의 종류에 따른 함수비, 전단강도의 변화를 측정하였다. 실험결과, 지반의 함수비 감소나 강도증진효과는 생석회의 함유량이 많을수록 크게 나타났으며, 지반개량효과도 짧은 시일 내에 나타나는 것이 확인되었다. 또한, 지반개량에 따른 전단강도의 증진과 함수비의 변화는 지반의 종류에 따라서도 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그 외에도 개발된 CCP는 충분한 지지력도 확보하고 있어 연약지반개량과 함께 지지말뚝으로써의 기능성이 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

While the Grouting has been used to reinforce the foundation of structures in wide range of application, there need complementary measures against problems such as pollution, durability, influence on the adjacent structures. Compaction Grouting, the injection of a very stiff, 'zero-slump' mortar grout under relatively high pressure, displaces and compacts soils. It can effectively repair natural or man-made soil strength deficiencies in variety of soil formations. In this paper, on the basis of the case history constructed in this year, a study has been performed to analyze the basic mechanism of the Compaction Grouting, Also, the effectiveness of the ground improvement and the bearing capacity of the Compaction Pile has been verified by the S.P.T and core strength.

Concrete track will be constructed in Gyungbu High Speed Railway II(GHSR II) stage construction site from Daegu to Busan. Concrete track is supported by substructure consisting of the original ground and embankment and does not allow the settlement of track because of its structural type. The embankment is composed of rock and soil mixture and settlement is feasible. So management of settlement of embankment is key point in successful construction of the concrete track. Compaction management of mixed fill materials is important in minimizing the settlement of embankment. In this study, in order to assess the compaction characteristics of mixed fill materials, large laboratory compaction tests were conducted. Mixed fill materials were obtained from two construction sites in GHSR II construction site. Modeled mixed fill materials having different rock type, fine content, maximum particle diameter, and moisture contents were prepared. From the test results, compaction characteristics of mixed fill materials were analysed.

Geotechnical materials such as silt, fine sand, or coarse granular soils may be unstable under undrained shearing or during rainfall infiltration starting an unsaturated state. Some researches are available describing the instability of coarse granular soils in drained or undrained conditions. However, there is a need to investigate the instability mechanism of unsaturated silty soil considering the effect of degree of compaction and net confining stress under partially and fully drained conditions. The specimens in the current study are compacted at 65%, 75%, & 85% degree of compaction, confined at pressures of 60, 80 & 120 kPa, and tested in partially and fully drained conditions. The tests have been performed in two steps. In Step-I, the specimens were sheared in constant water content conditions (a type of partially drained test) to the maximum shear stress. In Step-II, shearing was carried in constant suction conditions (a type of fully undrained test) by keeping shear stress constant. At the start of Step-II, PWP was increased in steps to decrease matric suction (which was then kept constant) and start water infiltration. The test results showed that soil instability is affected much by variation in the degree of compaction and confining stresses. It is also observed that loose and medium dense soils are vulnerable to pre-failure instability i.e., instability occurs before reaching the failure state, whereas, instability in dense soils instigates together with the failure i.e., failure line (FL) and instability line (IL) are found to be unique.
