This paper presents case history of railway embankment excess settlement on soft clay during service in southern region of Korea. A lot of field observations show that the measured settlements are a lot larger than settlements actually calculated in this area. Back analysis is carried out to verify the soil parameters which are intended to investigate in the subsurface exploration phase and later in a laboratory test program. Recommendations and causes for the engineering practice are suggested to review the determination of excess settlements and, consequently, to improve the settlement prediction. This enormous discrepancy is due to the passing over secondary consolidation, and the design filling did not meet to real construction filling. Immediate settlement could be subsidiary factor of excess settlement.

This paper presents the transport and removal of organic substances from the contaminated soft soils and sludges such as marine dredging waste, marine sediments, mine tailing waste, and sewage sludge by electroosmosis. A series of laboratory experiments including variable conditions such as contamination levels, solid contents, and applied voltage rates were peformed with the contaminated soft clay specimen mixed with organic substance. Investigated are specimen density, dewatering rate, outflow rate, and outflow concentration. The test results showed that organic substances in the soils were removed by applied voltages. The results indicated that this process can be used efficiently to clean up the contaminated soil.

In this case study, the field investigation work on soft soils like a reclamation area with dredged-clay or intertidal mud flat which has not enough strength to resist the load of surveying machines, the amphibious barge(modified AMFIROL) which travels on land and water was adopted to the field investigation work. Despite of slight increase of cost, it was found that the adoption of amphibious barge in field investigation could improve the quality of test results and avoid the waste of time and some effort.

If the load of constructing vehicles during the construction work acts on the road or the ground surface on the soft ground, due to the excess stresses in soils the trafficability of the vehicles influences the constructing efficiency, constructing period and so on. Stress distribution in soils is the very important element to design and to solve the problems of settlement, safety of foundations and trafficability of constructing vehicle in civil engineering. This research represents the comparative estimation of the actual and theoretical measurement on the underground stress of outer layer for each soil after the observation of each top soil layer for its vertical and horizontal stress in (1)homogeneous sand ground (2) weak stratum with the sand soil (3) weak stratum with gravel of the soil model, and it also investigates the effect of subsidence of ground by the repeated load. The underground stress turn out to be different in the value of theoretical and actual measurement after the trial examination of model.

최근 우리나라는 국토면적을 넓히기 위하여 많은 지역에 준설 및 매립 공사를 수행하고 있다. 준설 및 매립 공사에 주재료로 사용되는 해성점토는 매립 초기에 매우 연약한 지반을 형성하게 된다. 이에 빠른 구조물 시공을 위하여 대상지반의 압밀을 촉진시키는 다양한 공법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구는 새로운 압밀촉진 공법개발을 위한 기초시험으로 초음파 에너지를 연약지반 처리에 활용하고자 자체 고안된 초음파 발생장치를 적용하여 소규모 및 대형시험을 수행하였다. 시험에 사용된 연약지반 점토시료는 시험조건의 일관성을 유지하기 위하여 자체개발한 원심력 시료 성형기를 사용하였다. 초음파 적용에 따른 압밀시험결과 매우 큰 압밀량의 증가를 확인할 수 있었으며 대형 시험의 경우에도 빠른 간극수압의 소산을 확인 할 수 있었다. 연구결과 초음파가 점토의 압밀시간을 단축시키는데 효과가 크다는 것을 볼 수 있었고. 차후 초음파를 통한 다양한 압밀촉진공법이 개발될 수 있다는 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

최근 연안지역에서의 대형건설공사 증가로 인해 대규모의 연약지반처리 공사가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 이로 인해, 흙에 시멘트나 석회를 첨가하여 안정성과 내구성을 증대시키는 고화안정처리공법이 연약지반 현장의 표층처리에 빈번히 사용되고 있다. 고소성, 고압축성의 초연약 점성토를 대상으로 한 고화처리 연구는 그 동안 많이 이루어져 왔으나 상대적으로 낮은 소성성과 압축성을 가진 실트질 점성토를 대상으로 한 고화처리 연구는 찾아보기 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 송도 지역의 저소성 실트질 점성토를 배합 함수비, 개량재 배합비, 양생 기간을 변화시키며 시멘트와 생석회로 고화처리하고, 일축압축 시험 및 평판재하시험을 통하여 강도 특성을 파악하였다. 일축 압축 시험과 평판 재하 시험으로부터 상당히 일치하는 강도 특성 결과를 얻었으며, 이를 바탕으로 개량토를 매립지 표토층으로 이용하였을 경우 건설 장비의 주행성을 평가하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 송도 지역 점성토를 고화 처리하는 최적의 조건을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 준설토를 활용한 경량혼합토(LWFS)의 연약지반개량 적용성에 대해 검토한 내용을 다루었다. 현재까지 제시된 경량혼합토의 공학적 특성에 관한 연구결과를 종합 분석하여 경량혼합토의 물성을 정리하였으며, 그 결과를 토대로 임의의 현장조건을 가정하여 경량혼합토공법과 SCP 공법 및 DCM 공법 적용 시에 대한 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 연약지반개량공법 비교해석 결과, 경량혼합토 공법을 적용하는 경우 SCP 공법을 적용하는 수준 이상의 침하관리가 가능하며, 경량혼합토의 목표성능에 따라 침하발생 수준을 조절할 수 있는 것으로 검토되었다. 또한 DCM 공법과 비교 시 경량혼합토 재료의 경량성으로 과잉간극수압 발생량이 현저히 작아져 잔류침하를 최소화할 수 있는 것으로 검토되었다.

This paper presents the re-evaluation of existing piezocone penetration test (CPTu)-based shear wave velocity (V_s) equations through their application into well-documented data obtained at nine sites in six countries. The re-evaluation indicates that the existing equations are appropriate to use for any specific soil, but not for various types of clays. Existing equations were adjusted to suit all nine clays and show that the correlations between the measured and predicted V_s values tend to improve with an increasing number of parameters in the equations. An adjusted equation, which comprises a CPTu parameter and two soil properties (i.e., effective overburden stress and void ratio) with the best correlation, can be converted into a CPTu-based equation that has two CPTu parameters and depth by considering the effect of soil cementation. Then, the developed equation was verified by application to each of the nine soils and nine other worldwide clays, in which the predicted V_s values are comparable with the measured and the stochastically simulated values. Accordingly, the newly developed CPTu-based equation, which is a time-saving and economical method and can estimate V_s indirectly for any type of naturally deposited clay, is recommended for practical applications.

The application of stabilization method has increased because of short construction periods, no environmental problems with dumped and replaced soil, assurance of required strength and economical effect with mid to small size construction. The unconfined and triaxial(UU-condition) compression tests were executed with each mixing sample for the study of the improvement effects and the effect of design-parameters by the stabilization methods. Three typical stabilizers, which are representative in Korea, were applied in this study, and three common soils(very soft clay, general weathered soil, common clay), which are common in Korea, were used in this study. In this study, the effect of engineering factors(soils, stabilizers and water contents, etc.) which are important parameters for the improvement effects of mixed ground by stabilizers, was analyzed. As results, the tendencies of design-parameters(unconfined compression strength, deformation modulus and strength parameter) are presented and the criteria of the application of stabilization methods are suggested.

An experimental study is carried out to evaluate the performance of Lime mortar-Well graded Soil (Lime-WS) columns for the improvement of soft soils. Tests are conducted on a column of 100 mm diameter and 600 mm length surrounded by soft soil in different area ratios. Experiments are performed either with the entire area loading to evaluate the load - settlement behavior of treated grounds and only a column area loading to find the limiting axial stress of the column. A series of tests are carried out in soaking condition to investigate the influence of moisture content on the load - settlement behavior of specimens. In order to compare the behavior of Lime-WS columns with Conventional Stone (CS) columns as well as Geogrid Encased Stone (GES) columns, the behavior of these columns have been also considered in the present study. Remarkable improvement in the behavior of soft soil is observed due to the installation of Lime-WS columns and the performance of these columns is significantly enhanced by increasing the area ratio. The results show that CS columns are not suitable as a soil improvement technique for extremely soft soils and should be enhanced by encasing the column or replaced by rigid stone columns.
