This thesis is to investigate the one-dimensional consolidation behavior of soft marine clay with uniform surcharges by perfoming numerical and experimental works. Parametric experimental works of centrifuge model test were carried out changing test conditions of gravitational level in centrifuge, magnitude of surcharges and construction sequence of applying surcharges. Results of centrifuge model experiments were analyzed by using the numerical technique of explicit finite difference method based on the finite strain consolidation theory, being known to be appropriate to analyze the consolidational behavior of soft clay with a very high initial void ratio using the Lagrangian and the material coordinate systems. Test results were in relatively good agreements with analyzed results in terms of excess pore pressure dissipation and consolidation settlement with time and final void ratio distribution.

The weakening and softening behavior of soft clay subjected to cyclic loading due to the build-up of excess pore water pressure is well-known. During the design stage of the foundation of highways and coastal high-rise buildings, it is important to study the mechanical behavior of marine soils under cyclic loading as they undergo greater settlement during cyclic loading than under static loading. Therefore, this research evaluates the cyclic stress-strain and shear strength of untreated and treated marine clay under the effects of wind, earthquake, and traffic loadings. A series of laboratory stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been conducted on both untreated and treated marine clay using different effective confining pressures and a frequency of 0.5 and 1.0 Hz. In addition, treated samples were cured for 28 and 90 days and tested under a frequency of 2.0 Hz. The results revealed significant differences in the performance of treated marine clay samples than that of untreated samples under cyclic loading. The treated marine clay samples were able to stand up to 2000 loading cycles before failure, while untreated marine clay samples could not stand few loading cycles. The untreated marine clay displayed a higher permanent axial strain rate under cyclic loading than the treated clay due to the existence of new cementing compounds after the treatment with recycled tiles and low amount (2%) of cement. The effect of the effective confining pressure was found to be significant on untreated marine clay while its effect was not crucial for the treated samples cured for 90 days. Treated samples cured for 90 days performed better under cyclic loading than the ones cured for 28 days and this is due to the higher amount of cementitious compounds formed with time. The highest deformation was found at 0.5 Hz, which cannot be considered as a critical frequency since smaller frequencies were not used. Therefore, it is recommended to consider testing the treated marine clay using smaller frequencies than 0.5 Hz.

This paper investigates the development of failure surfaces induced by an embankment on soft marine clay deposits and the characteristics of such surfaces through numerical simulations and its comparative study with monitoring results. It is well known that the factor of safety of embankment slopes is closely related to the vertical loading, including the height of the embankment. That is, an increase in the embankment height reduces the factor of safety. However, few studies have examined the relationship between the lateral movement of soft soil beneath the embankment and the factor of safety. In addition, no study has investigated the distribution of the pore pressure coefficient B value along the failure surface. This paper conducts a continuum analysis using finite difference methods to characterize the development of failure surfaces during embankment construction on soft marine clay deposits. The results of the continuum analysis for failure surfaces, stress, displacement, and the factor of safety can be used for the management of embankment construction. In failure mechanism, it has been validated that a large shear displacement causes change of stress and pore pressure along the failure surface. In addition, the pore pressure coefficient B value decreases along the failure surface as the embankment height increases. This means that the rate of change in stress is higher than that in pore pressure.

한반도 남해안의 광양만에서 채취한 연약 해성점토의 물리적 및 역학적 특성을 조사하기 위한 일련의 실내시험을 수행하였다. 물리적 성질 및 압밀시험 결과의 분석에 따르면, 시험에 사용된 시료는 정규압밀점토로 나타났다. 압밀비배수 삼축시험 결과로부터 새로운 간극수압계수(C)를 제안하였고, 이 계수는 유효응력경로를 예측하기 위한 방정식에 적용되었다. 또한, 비배수조건에서 전단변형률은 오로지 응력비만의 함수라는 사실이 실험결과로부터 밝혀졌다. 따라서 비배수 조건에서의 전단변형률 계산식이 제안되었으며, 이들 관계식을 이용하여 비배수(CIU) 및 배수조건(CID)에서의 점토의 거동을 예측하기 위한 새로운 구성방정식이 제안되었다. 이 구성방정식은 Roscoe와 Poorooshasb이 제안한 증분응력-변형률 이론을 기초로 하였으며, 제안된 구성방정식을 적용하여 예측한 배수전단특성을 실측된 결과에 매우 근접하는 경향을 나타내었다.

This study is the results of experimental and numerical study on the consolidational behavior of multi-layered soft soil ground installed with plastic board drains (PBD). Centrifuge model tests with a marine clay sampled from field were performed to investigate the consolidational behavior of multi-layered ground where a dredged soil was placed on the soft clay ground and PBDs were installed. Test results were compared with those of numerical analyses, using the 2-D equivalent model previously proposed. From test results, it was found that the amount of consolidation settlement occurred in the original ground due to embankment surcharge loads was in the range of 38% of total settlement in the whole ground. From the results of cone penetration tests executed after finishing the centrifuge model tests, the cone resistance was found to increase with depth. The measured water contents inbetween PBDs were in the ranges of 38~50% and their values tended to increase with increasing the distance between PBDs.

본 연구에서는 인천해성점토 지반에 근입된 대구경 현장타설 말뚝의 횡방향 상대 강성에 따른 거동특성 을 분석하기 위하여, 인천대교 현장의 축소모형 시험과 실물 재하 시험을 일방향 및 양방향 반복재하 형태의 하중으로 수행하였다. 이를 토대로 국내 해성토의 p-y 곡선을 산정하였으며, 현장과 같은 조건으로 수치해석을 수행하여 기존 O'Neill clay 모델(1984)의 p-y 곡선과 Matlock soft clay 모델(1970)의 p-y 곡선을 비교 분석하였다. 본 검토결과 해성점토 지반에 근입된 현장타설말뚝의 거동은 서로 다른 특성을 가진 비선형 지반모델(O'Neill clay 모델, Matlock soft clay 모델, 재하시험을 통한 p-y 곡선)을 사용하여 해석하였음에도 불구하고 유사한 휨모멘트와 수평변위를 나타냈다. 이러한 원인을 규명하기 위하여, 말뚝과 지반의 상대강성에 초점을 맞추어 말뚝의 강성에 영향을 주는 주요 영향요소인 말뚝의 직경과 길이 그리고 강성 등을 변화시키면서 다양한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 지반과 말뚝의 강성차이가 큰 강성말뚝의 경우 비선형 지반 모델이 말뚝 거동에 미치는 영향이 작게 나타났으나, 지반과 말뚝의 강성차이가 작은 연성 말뚝의 경우에는 비선형 지반모델의 차이에 따른 거동의 변화가 뚜렷하게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

These projects has been performed on thick and soft clay layers. So, the evaluation of long-term consolidation settlement is very important in design and construction. Therefore, In this study, a long-term consolidation characteristics of marine dredged clays are investigated. First, the relationship of $C_{\alpha}/C_c$ on marine dredged clays near Gwang-yang Port was evaluated. Second, long-term consolidation characteristics of the pseudo-preconsolidated ground were evaluated.

초연약 고소성의 준설해성점토를 보강하기 위하여 Micro-Fiber(MF)재를 혼합하여 다양한 실내시험을 수행하였다. 준설점토의 함수비를 3종으로 조정하고 각각의 시료에 MF를 길이와 혼합율을 변화시키면서 일축압축 및 삼축압축 시험을 통하여 보강특성을 검토하였다. 또한, 양생일수벽로 강도증가 경향을 평가하였으며, 폐석회(Waste Lime, WL)의 추가혼합이 보강기능을 증대시키는지 여부를 검토하였다. 실험결과, MF를 혼합함에 따라 준설점토의 강도가 자연함수비에 무관하게 약 50% 증가하였으며, MF의 길이가 길수록 보강효과가 크게 나타났다. 또한, 합리적인 MF의 혼합율은 2% 정도이며, 추가적으로 폐석회를 약 10% 혼합할 경우 중장비주행이 가능한 보강효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

The main purpose of this work is to determine characteristics of undrained shear strength of remolded marine clay at Incheon. Laboratory vane tests with remolded marine clay sampled from west coast at Incheon were performed to investigate the undrained shear strength of them being dumped for reclamation after dredging from the sea bottom. Test results were compared with the predicted values of undrained shear strength proposed by many researchers. It was found that measured results about undrained shear strength with water content was in good agreements with values proposed by Mikasa and Modified Mikasa's empirical formula.
