Large quantity of extra soils discharged from excavation site in Songdo area can be treated by hardening agents and utilized in surface stabilized layer overlying thick reclaimed soft soil deposit. Though surface layer stabilization method using cement or lime for very soft soils has been studied in recent years, but studies on moderately soft clayey silt has not been tried. The purpose of this research is to investigate optimum mixing condition for stabilizing Songdo marine soil with low plasiticity. The optimum mixing conditions of hardening agents with Songdo soil such as kind of agents, mixing ratio, initial water content and curing time are investigated by uniaxial compression test and laboratory vane test. The results indicate that strength increases with high mixing ratio and long curing time, while decreases drastically under certain water content before mixing. Finally, optimum mixing condition considering economic efficiency and workability with test results was proposed.

Soft soil ground is a crucial factor limiting the development of the construction of transportation infrastructure in coastal areas. Soft soil is characterized by low strength, low permeability and high compressibility. However, the ordinary treatment method uses Portland cement to solidify the soft soil, which has low early strength and requires a long curing time. Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging method to address geo-environmental problems associated with geotechnical materials. In this study, a method of bio-cementitious mortars consisting of MICP and cement was proposed to stabilize the soft soil. A series of laboratory tests were conducted on MICP-treated and cement-MICP-treated (C-MICP-treated) soft soils to improve mechanical properties. Microscale observations were also undertaken to reveal the underlying mechanism of cement-soil treated by MICP. The results showed that cohesion and internal friction angles of MICP-treated soft soil were greater than those of remolded soft soil. The UCS, elastic modulus and toughness of C-MICP-treated soft soil with high moisture content (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%) were improved compared to traditional cement-soil. A remarkable difference was observed that the MICP process mainly played a role in the early curing stage (i.e., within 14 days) while cement hydration continued during the whole process. Micro-characterization revealed that the calcium carbonate filling the pores enhanced the soft soil.

Consolidation in cohesive soils mainly focuses on compressibility of soils, but it affects solute transport in some cases. The consolidation process takes on particular significance for fine grained soils at high water content, such as dredged sediments, but has also been shown to be important for compacted clay liners during waste filling operation. Numerical investigation using CST1 and CST2 was reviewed on consolidation-induced solute transport in this paper, especially with the development of CST2 model, verification by comparing experimental results with numerical simulations, and cases studies regarding transport in a confined disposal facility (CDF) and during in-situ capping. The importance of the consolidation process on solute transport is accessed based on simulated concentration or mass breakthrough curves. Results indicate that neglecting transient consolidation effects may lead to significant errors in transport analyses, especially with soft contaminated cohesive soils undergoing large volume change.

The increasing lack of good quality soils allowing the development of roadway, motorway, or railway networks, as well as large scale industrial facilities, necessitates the use of reinforcement techniques. Their aim is the improvement of the global performance of compressible soils, both in terms of settlement reduction and increase of the load bearing capacity. Among the various available techniques, the improvement of soils by incorporating vertical stiff piles appears to be a particularly appropriate solution, since it is easy to implement and does not require any substitution of significant soft soil volumes. The technique consists in driving a group of regularly spaced piles through a soft soil layer down to an underlying competent substratum. The surface load being thus transferred to this substratum by means of those reinforcing piles, which illustrates the case of a piled embankment. The differential settlements at the base of the embankment between the soft soil and the stiff piles lead to an "arching effect" in the embankment due to shearing mechanisms. This effect, which can be accentuated by the use of large pile caps, allows partial load transfer onto the pile, as well as surface settlement reduction, thus ensuring that the surface structure works properly. A technique for producing rigid piles has been developed to achieve in a single operation a rigid circular pile associated with a cone shaped head reversed on the place of a rigid circular pile. This technique has been used with success in a pile-supported road near Bourgoin-Jallieu (France). In this article, a numerical study based on this real case is proposed to highlight the functioning mode of this new technique in the case of industrial slabs.

최근의 압밀시험(표준압밀시험 또는 자중압밀시험)을 대신하여 성형되는 않은(또는 성형이 불가능한 상태의) 연약한 흙의 압밀거동을 연속적으로 빠르고 편리하게 결정할 수 있는 실험방법이 요구된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 흙의 압밀 거동을 플로우 펌프에서 발생된 침투압을 이용하여 연속적으로 빠르게 획득할 수 있는 급속압밀실험을 제안하였다. 실험 장치는 삼축셀, 플로우 펌프, 변환기, 데이터처리장치 등으로 구성되고, 실험의 과정은 동일 시료에 대해 침투압에 의한 압밀, 하중재하에 의한 압밀, 압밀 후 투수시험 순으로 연속적으로 진행된다. 또한 본 실험법의 검증을 위해 기존의 표준압밀시험으로부터 얻은 결과와 비교 검토도 이루어졌다. 연구 결과 급속압밀실험법이 연약한 흙의 압밀 침하량 산정에 필요한 데이터를 쉽고 빠르게 산정할 수 있는 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 말뚝기초의 실내모형시험을 통해 연약지반상의 경량포장체용 기초로서의 적합성을 분석 및 평가를 목적으로 하고 있다. 안전성 평가를 위해 실내모형시험용 경량포장체용 말뚝기초모형을 실제 포장체 사이즈의 1/30으로 축소한 모형을 이용하여 시험을 실시하였다. 지반 조건은 연약지반을 모사하여 모델링하였고, 말뚝은 마찰군말뚝으로 실험하였다. 제한된 실험으로부터 측정된 모형포장체의 침하량은 Case A는 0.86 mm, Case B는 0.70 mm, Case C는 0.50 mm로 측정되었다. 측정된 말뚝기초 모형의 실험값을 실제 크기로 환산하였을 때의 최대침하량과 부등침하량은 각각 25.8 mm와 10.8 mm로 도로교 설계기준에 의거하여 최대부등변위량인 50 mm와 부등변위량 20 mm를 넘지 않는 것으로 보이며 침하량을 기준으로 안전성을 평가 할 경우 안전한 것으로 판정되었다.

경사고임대의 지지블록에서 발휘되는 수동토압은 지반종류에 따라 발휘되는 토압이 다르다. 영구구조물인 옹벽 설계에서는 수동토압의 안전율을 고려하도록 하고 있으나, 가시설에 설치되는 경사고임대 지지블록에 작용하는 토압은 실제 발휘되는 수동측토압보다 과하게 산정되어 불안전측의 설계가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석(PLAXIS)을 이용 토사지반에서 경사고임대 지지블록에 발생되는 수동측토압을 산정하였다. 토사지반으로 연약지반과 풍화토지반이 선택되었다. 수치해석결과 각 지반에서 지지블록의 수평변위와 수동측토압 관계 곡선이 산정되었으며 이 곡선상의 항복점이 설계에 적용할 경사고임대 지지체에서의 저항력으로 연약지반에서는 Rankine 수동토압의 약 55.5%, 풍화토지반에서는 약 66%를 보는 것이 안정성 측면에서 바람직한 것으로 나타났다.

Most tunnels in soft soils in urban areas are constructed by shield tunnelling method for environmental reasons. Ground surface settlements are caused by shield tunnelling so that auxiliary measures are often required. Simple methods to predict ground surface settlement are given. The use of the slurry or the earth pressure balance shield machine and the application of new methods of grouting with computer aided operation control systems decreases the ground surface settlement to 3 mm. The construction cost of tunnels is almost identical whichever type of shield machine is employed according to a statistical investigation.
