To investigate the mechanical properties of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Beads Stabilized Lightweight Soil (EBSLS), Laboratory studies were conducted. Totally 20 sets of specimens according to the complete test design were prepared and tested with unconfined compressive test and consolidated drained triaxial test. Results showed that dry density of EBSLS ($0.67-1.62g/cm^3$) decreases dramatically with the increase of EPS beads volumetric content, while increase slightly with the increase of cement content. Unconfined compressive strength (10-2580 kPa) increases dramatically in parabolic relationship with the increase of cement content, while decreases with the increase of EPS beads volumetric content in hyperbolic relationship. Cohesion (31.1-257.5 kPa) increases with the increase of cement content because it is mainly caused by the bonding function of hydration products of cement. The more EPS beads volumetric content is, the less dramatically the increase is, which is a result of the cohesion between hydration products of cement and EPS beads is less than that between hydration products of cement and sand particles. Friction angle ($14.92-47.42^{\circ}$) decreases with the increase of EPS beads volumetric content, which is caused by the smoother surfaces of EPS beads than sand grains. The stress strain curves of EBSLS tend to be more softening with the increase of EPS beads content or the decrease of cement content. The shear contraction of EBSLS increases with the increase of $c_e$ or the decrease of $c_c$. The results provided quantitative relationships between physico-mechanical properties of EBSLS and material proportion, and design process for engineering application of EBSLS.

본 연구에서는 항만구조물 기초지반에 소일-시멘트 파일을 이용한 말뚝식 지반개량을 적용한 90개 단면에 대해 안정검토를 수행하였고, 수치해석을 포함한 모든 항목에서 안정한 단면별 최소치환율을 결정하였으며, 원심모형실험을 통해 수치해석 결과의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 기초지반이 매우 연약($s_u$ =15kPa이하)한 경우에는 말뚝식 지반개량이 부적합하고, 항만구조물의 말뚝식 지반개량에는 기초지반과 개량체의 강성비(n)가 최대 50~75이하이고 개량체 강도가 2~3MPa인 소일-시멘트 파일공법이 가장 적합하며, 최소치환율 지배인자가 허용수평변위이므로 말뚝식 지반개량을 설계할 때는 반드시 수평변위를 검토해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 소성 굴패각, 비소성 굴패각, 자력선별된 전로 제강슬래그와 Fly ash를 혼화재로 활용하였을 때 각 재료가 흙 시멘트 강도에 미치는 영향을 일축압축강도, 탄성계수와 배합비 간의 상관관계 분석을 통하여 평가하였다. 연구 결과 비소성 굴패각을 배합한 공시체 강도가 소성 굴패각을 배합한 공시체 강도보다 크게 나타났으며, 이에 따라 기존 연구와 달리 소성 굴패각이 흙 시멘트 공시체 강도에 부정적인 영향을 끼칠 수 있음이 확인되었다. 또한 자력 선별된 전로 제강슬래그 비율과 강도 특성사이에 양의 상관관계가 존재하여 이를 혼화재로 활용할 수 있는 가능성이 확인되었다.

외부안정성을 다룬 동반논문과 차별화하여, 이 논문에서는 심층혼합처리지반에 설치된 안벽의 내부안정성에 대한 정량적 위험도 평가를 위한 신뢰성해석 방법을 제안하였다. 내부안정성 위험도 평가를 위해 개량지반의 단지압, 전단강도 그리고 무개량토의 압출 파괴모드에 대해 MVFOSM, FORM 그리고 MCS를 적용하여 안정성을 검토하고 비교하였다. 심층혼합처리지반상 안벽의 내부안정성에 대한 신뢰성해석 결과, 흙-시멘트 개량체 압축강도의 변동성과 분포형태가 파괴확률에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 다른 확률변수들의 영향은 상대적으로 미미했다. 그러므로 흙-시멘트 개량체의 현장 압축강도에 대한 통계적 특성을 합리적이고 정확하게 결정하는 것이 중요하다.

NATM 터널을 굴착하기에 토피가 너무 낮은 경우에는 보통 개착터널공법이 적용된다. 그러나 토피가 매우 낮거나 없는 계곡부에서 개착터널을 시공하기 위해서는 추가적인 두 곳의 갱구 형성과 복토가 이루어질 때까지 임시 사면에 대한 유지관리가 필요하다. 이런 경우에는 복토를 통해 토피를 확보한 후 터널을 굴착하는 방안이 유효하다. 이 연구는 터널 굴착이전에 소일시멘트로 복토한 후 굴착작업이 이루어진 대만고속철도 C240현장에 대한 사례 연구이다. 소일시멘트의 포틀랜드 시멘트 함유량은 $2\~4\%$이고, 1회 복토층의 두께는 $130\~250\;mm$ 범위가 되도록 시공하였다. 터널 굴착에 따른 소일시멘트 사면 및 터널내 최종 구조물인 콘크리트 라이닝에 대한 수치해석을 통해 안정성을 평가하였다.

Recently a pressurized grouting soil nail is demanded due to problems beyond of economical and engineering purpose. In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the PGSN (Pressurized Grouting Soil Nailing) system is respected to reduced displacements of nails and increase of global slope stability. And effects of various factors related to the design of the PGSN system, such as the length of the soil nail, injected pressure and W/C ratio of cement grout in the pressurized grouting soil nail are examined throughout a series of the displacement-controlled field pull-out tests. Displacement-controlled field pull-out tests are performed in the present study and the volume of grouting are also evaluated based on the measurements. In addition, both short-term and long-term characteristics of pull-out deformations of the newly proposed PGSN system are analyzed and compared with those of the general soil nailing system by carrying out the stress-controlled field pull-out tests. From the pull-out characteristics of pressurized grouting soil nails, it is found that the effect of the length of the soil nail, injected pressure and W/C ratio of cement grout are important parameters.

This paper investigates strength characteristics and stress-strain behaviors of unreinforced and reinforced lightweight soils. Lightweight soil, composed of dredged soil, cement, and air-foam, was reinforced by a waste fishing net, in order to increase its compressive strength. Test specimens were fabricated by various mixing conditions, such as cement content, initial water content, air content, and waste fishing net; then, unconfined compression tests were carried out on these specimens. From the test results, it was shown that reinforced lightweight soil had different behavior after failure, even though it had similar behavior as unreinforced lightweight soil before failure. The test results also showed that stress became constant after peak strength in reinforced lightweight soil, while the stress decreased continuously in unreinforced lightweight soil. It was observed that the strength was increased due to reinforcing effect by the waste fishing net for most cases, except high water content greater than $218\%$. In the case of high water content, a reinforcing effect is negligible, due to slip between waste fishing net and soil particles. In reinforced lightweight soil, secant modulus (E50) was increased, due to the inclusion of waste fishing net.

Use of cement in stabilizing the sulfate-bearing clay soils forms ettringite/ thaumasite in the presence of moisture leads to excessive swelling and causes damages to structures built on them. The development and use of non-traditional stabilisers such as alkali activated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (AGGBS) and enzyme for soil stabilisation is recommended because of its lower cost and the non detrimental effects on the environment. The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of AGGBS and enzyme on improving the volume change properties of sulfate bearing soil as compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The soil for present study has been collected from Tilda, Chhattisgarh, India and 5000 ppm of sodium sulfate has been added. Various dosages of the selected stabilizers have been used and the effect on plasticity index, differential swell index and swelling pressure has been evaluated. XRD, SEM and EDX were also done on the untreated and treated soil for identifying the mineralogical and microstructural changes. The tests results show that the AGGBS and enzyme treated soil reduces swelling and plasticity characteristics whereas OPC treated soil shows an increase in swelling behaviour. It is observed that the swell pressure of the OPC-treated sulfate bearing soil became 1.5 times higher than that of the OPC treated non-sulfate soil.

The importance of using materials cost effectively to enhance the strength and reduce the cost, and weight of earth fill materials in geotechnical engineering led researchers to seek for modifying the soil properties by adding proper additives. Lightweight fill materials made of soil, binder, water, and Expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are increasingly being used in geotechnical practices. This paper primarily investigates the behavior of sandy soil, modified by EPS particles. Besides, the mechanical properties of blending sand, EPS and the binder material such as fly ash and cement were examined in different mixing ratios using a number of various laboratory studies including the Modified Standard Proctor (MSP) test, the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and the Direct Shear test (DST). According to the results, an increase of 0.1% of EPS results in a reduction of the density of the mixture for 10%, as well as making the mixture more ductile rather than brittle. Moreover, the compressive strength, CBR value and shear strength parameters of the mixture decreases by an increase of the EPS beads, a trend on the contrary to the increase of cement and fly ash content.

무단 매립이나 일시 야적으로 환경오염을 유발하는 굴패각을 활용한 친환경 굴패각고화재의 고화성능을 평가하는 일련의 실험연구를 수행하였다. 연구목적은 연약지반개량에 적용하기 위하여 고화재의 고화능력을 평가하고 지반개량 효과를 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 굴패각 고화재 및 시멘트 고화재를 가지고 준설토사에 적용하여 양생기간 및 물/고화재 비를 다르게 변화하면서 일축압축실험을 수행하여 상호 비교하였다. 실내모형 실험을 수행한 결과,굴패 각 고화재는 표층이나 천층 및 심층혼합처리공법으로 연약지반을 개량하는 경우에 시멘트 고화재 보다 고화성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
