Observed field behaviors are frequently different from the behaviors predicted in the design state due to several uncertainties involved in soil properties, numerical modelling, and error of measuring system even though a sophisticated numerical analysis technique is applied to solve the consolidation behavior of drainage-installed soft deposits. In this study, genetic algorithms are applied to back-analyze the soil properties using the observed behavior of soft clay deposit composed of multi layers that shows complex consolidation characteristics. Utilizing the program, one might be able to appropriately predict the subsequent consolidation behavior from the measured data in an early stage of consolidation of multi layered soft deposits. Example analyses for drainage-installed multi-layered soft deposits are performed to examine the applicability of proposed back-analysis method.

Predicted behaviour of a soft clay deposit in design stage is sometimes different from in-situ settlement and pore pressure measured during and after construction. In this paper, characteristics of settlement and pore pressure occurred in soft soil deposits were investigated briefly in order to get a better understanding of time-dependent viscoplastic behaviour and prevent geotechnical problems resulted from long-term settlement, differential settlement, etc.

There are several types of foundations for light-weight structures, such as low story buildings, on soft clay deposits. Those foundations, such as piled raft, compensated foundation, mat foundation, floating foundation are commonly used rather then end-bearing piles to get more benefits on the construction and cost savings. In this study, settlement behaviors are computed and compared for several types of foundations on soft clay deposits. Also, theoretical expressions of parameters for piled raft system were provided with co-relations for design purposes. The predictions of settlements of piled rafts foundation are proposed based on the pile dimensions and design loads. From this study, the piled raft foundations is more benefits for reducing the settlement of clay deposits, and it is found that the piled raft system is applicable and effective on thick clay deposits, and that differential settlements of the foundation should be managed by designing the configuration of pile lengths.

해안매립지와 같은 연약한 점토지반에 시공된 쇄석말뚝의 내진성능 평가를 위해 1g 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 개량전 후 지반의 동적응답특성을 비교하기 위해 가속도 증폭 및 시간에 따른 전단변형, 전단파 속도 등을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 쇄석말뚝으로 개량된 지반의 전단변형은 개량되지 않은 지반에 비해 감소되는 경향을 보이나, 단주기 지진파에는 더 높은 수준의 지반 가속도 증폭이 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 쇄석말뚝으로 개량된 지반의 내진성능 향상여부는 모형실험과 함께 지반응답해석 등의 수행하여 평가되어야 한다고 판단된다.

The negative skin friction on piles, which are installed in currently consolidating soft deposits, creates significant problems on the stability of pile foundations. This study investigated whether or not the pile foundation designs were appropriate in soft deposits with large amount of consolidation settlement. The final settlements of the grounds along the pile depth were estimated by the soil parameters obtained from the laboratory tests and by the field-measured settlement curves, if they were available. The displacement of the piles along the pile depth was estimated by both the load transfer method and the numerical method. Both methods gave similar locations of neutral points and magnitudes of the maximum axial forces. The movements of the ground and the piles were compared to calculate the down drag acting on piles. For the piles whose bearing capacities were less than the design loads including the down drag, slip layer coatings and/or incrementing of the penetration depth into the bearing stratum were proposed to improve the piles capacities.

The areas around the Nam-Hae are mostly covered in thick soft clay deposits(50∼60.0m). In order to improve the ground in these areas verticals trains have been partially penetrated up to the depth of about 25.0m. However, since the predicted values of settlement have often been changed at some predicted time. Finite element analysis was performed to investigate the consolidation behaviour for it. The results from FEM was compared with various observational methods.

Weak and soft compressible clay deposits are commonly found in natural subgrade soils. These Soils need to be stabilized for using the subbase materials of highway constructions. This paper presents that a chemical treatment using chemical additives comprised of sulfate(SO$_4$) and chloride(Cl) is evaluated for stabilizing soft clay deposits and lime. The physical and mechanical characteristics of soil-lime and additives are described by means of a laboratory study. The study results indicate that the presence of chlorides encouraged the efficiency of lime stabilization, and the use of calcium chloride with quicklime is the best additive for improving soil behavior. The treated soil with lime-calcium chloride can have the adaptability to the subbase materials of highway constructions.

In this thesis, from the results of settlement measurement performed at the site where embankment earthwork was carried out on the ground consisting of highly plastic and silty soft soils interlayered with organic deposits, various methods of predicting the embankment settlement such as Hoshino's method, Asaoka's method, hyperbolic method, ${\sqrt{s}}$ method and Monden's method were used to investigate their applicability and the inverse method of finding the soil parameter related to consolidation was used to predict the consolidation behavior in the future. It was confirmed that reliable prediction of consolidation behavior under various conditions could be done to estimate soil parameter related to consolidation such as the consolidation index and consolidation coefficient by the inverse method of comparing the measured settlement with the predicted value by the settlement prediction methods.

It is controversial whether low calcium intake, commonly associated with osteoporosis, results in calcium accumulation in soft tissues. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of low calcium (Ca) and oxalate (ox) intake on soft-tissue Ca deposits and bone metabolism in ovariectomized (ovx) rats. Eight week old female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovariectomized and divided into four groups. The rats were fed experimental diets containing low (0.1%, w/w) or normal (0.5%, w/w) Ca with or without sodium oxalate (1%, w/w); Sham/NCa, Ovx/NCa, Ovx/LCa, Ovx/NCa-ox, Ovx/LCa-ox for 6 weeks. All ovx rats showed a remarkable increase in body and tissue weight, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, and decreases in weight, ash, and Ca contents, as well as bone breaking force compared to those in sham rats. Serum Ca concentration was not significantly affected by dietary Ca levels or ox intake. Kidney Ca, ox acid content, and microscopic Ca deposition increased remarkably in the Ovx/LCa-ox group compared to those in the other groups. Ca content in the spleen and aorta also increased significantly, but the weight contents, Ca, bone breaking force, and Ca and oxalic acid in feces decreased significantly in the Ovx/LCa-ox group. Serum parathyroid hormone levels were not significantly different among the groups. These results indicate that low Ca intake decreased bone mineral content and increased Ca deposits in soft tissues, which was aggravated by ox intake in ovx rats. Thus, high ox intake may result in a kidney disorder in patients with osteoporosis who eat a low Ca diet.

수직배수재가 설치된 연약지반의 압밀거동을 해석하기 위하여 아무리 정교한 수치해석기법을 사용하더라도 비균질 다층지반의 대표지반정수의 추정, 압밀거동에 대한 수치모델링 및 계측시스템 오차 등과 관련된 불확실성 때문에 실제 현장에서 관측되는 거동은 설계단계에서 예측된 거동과 종종 다르게 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 다층지반으로 구성된 복잡한 압밀물성특성을 갖는 연약지반에 대하여 압밀물성특성을 정확히 예측하기 위해 유전자 알고리즘에 근거한 역해석 기법을 제안하였다. 다층 연약지반의 압밀과정 초기단계에서 계측된 거동을 바탕으로 본 프로그램에 적용된 역해석기법을 이용하여 압밀거동과 관련된 주요 설계변수를 최적화함으로써 장래의 압밀거동을 비교적 정확히 예측하는 것이 가능하다. 국내 배수재가 설치된 다층지반에 대한 예제해석을 수행하여 제안된 역해석 기법의 적용성을 검토하였다.
