  • Preventing or reducing the damage impact of lateral soil movements on piled foundations is highly dependent on understanding the behavior of passive piles. For this reason, a detailed experimental study is carried out, aimed to examine the influence of soil density, the depth of moving layer and pile spacing on the behavior of a 2×2 free-standing pile group subjected to a uniform profile of lateral soil movement. Results from 8 model tests comprise bending moment, shear force, soil reaction and deformations measured along the pile shaft using strain gauges and others probing tools were performed. It is found that soil density and the depth of moving layer have an opposite impact regarding the ultimate response of piles. A pile group embedded in dense sand requires less soil displacement to reach the ultimate soil reaction compared to those embedded in medium and loose sands. On the other hand, the larger the moving depth, the larger amount of lateral soil movement needs to develop the pile group its ultimate deformations. Furthermore, the group factor and the effect of pile spacing were highly related to the soil-structure interaction resulted from the transferring process of forces between pile rows with the existing of the rigid pile cap.

  • Soil stress distribution under loading is one of the important problems in civil engineering. Many models have been proposed to interpret the stress distribution in soil and most models assume that the soil is homogeneous and isotropic. Therefore, the actual stress distribution may be different. In addition, With the increase of the top load, soil stress does not increase linearly. In this study, vertical stress changes in sandy soil according to top load increase were measured through experiments. Experimental results, vertical soil stress due to top load increase showed an initial nonlinear behavior and when the load increases to some extent, vertical soil stress showed a linear behavior. ${\alpha}$ value obtained by existing theories always 1.00. But, ${\alpha}$ value by experiment was observed from 0.91 to 1.22 and ${\alpha}$ value was increased with increasing distance from the loading plate.

  • This paper presents the results of experimental investigation on the effect of degree of saturation of soil on the pullout behavior of a geogrid. Different test variables were taken into account while performing the experiment including the soil physical conditions based on water content and external loading applied. The soil used was locally available weathered granite soil. The tests included variations in saturation of about 90%, 80%, 70% and 45% (optimum moisture content). The pullout tests were performed according to ASTM standard D 6706-01. The results indicate that increasing the degree of saturation in the soil decreases the pull-out capacity, which in turn decreases the interface friction angle and interaction coefficient. The decrease in the pullout interface coefficient was observed to be around 12.50% to 33.33% depending on the normal load and degree of saturation of the soil. The test results demonstrated the detrimental effect of increasing the degree of saturation within the reinforce soil on the pullout behavior of reinforcement, thus on the internal stability. The practical inferences of the outcomes are analyzed in detail.

  • In order to analyze the behavior of piled abutment adjacent to surcharge loads a numerical study was conducted. In 2D plane stalin analysis, the distribution of lateral soil movement was investigated by varying the thickness of clay layer and the magnitude of surcharge loads. In 3D analysis, the magnitude and distribution of lateral pile-soil movement were studied for different cap rigidity. Based on limited parametric studies, a simple method is proposed to identify the lateral pressure of piled abutment adjacent to surcharge loads.

  • This paper presents the results of instrumentation of a two-level of soil-reinforced segmental retaining wall. Instrumentation items include the lateral wall displacements and the geogrid strains at several locations. The instrumentation is still long carried in order to examine long-term behavior. The result indicate that the upper wall has a significant effect on the behavior of the lower wall doubling the wall moved. The wall also exhibits significant post-construction movements that had ceased several months after the wall completed. The implication of the findings from this study was discussed in great detail.

  • 모형실험과 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석을 통하여 측방변형지반 속에 설치된 매설관에 작용하는 측방토압을 관찰하였다. 모형실험에서는 모형지반 속에 매설관을 설치한 후 모형지반에 측방변형이 발생될 수 있게 모형실험기를 제작하여 실제 지반에서의 상황을 시뮬레이션하였다. 이 모형실험기는 지반의 변형속도를 여러 가지로 조절할 수 있게 제작하였다. 여러 가지 직경과 형상의 매설관에 대하여 실험을 실시함으로써 이들 요인이 측방토압에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 모형실험결과 연약지반의 측방유동으로 인하여 매설관에 작용하는 측방하중은 연약지반의 측방변형속도가 빠를수록 크게 작용하였다. 순간재하 조건에 의한 수치해석 결과는 지반변형속도가 중간 정도 빠르기인 0.3mm/min에서 1.0mm/min 사이의 지반변형속도의 조건에서 실시한 모형실험 결과와 유사하였다. 대부분의 모형실험결과 지반변형량이 작은 시점에서 측방하중의 제1항복이 발생하며 이때까지 탄성변형거동을 보이다가 제2항복에 이르기까지 하중이 한 동안 수렴되는 소성거동을 보였다. 지반변형이 계속하여 증가하면 측방하중도 다시 증가하여 압축거동을 보였다. 그러나 빠른 지반변형속도에서의 실험 결과에서는 항복하중에 도달한 후 수렴과정이 없이 계속하여 하중이 증가하였음을 볼 수 있다. 매설관의 직경이 클수록 측방유동 연약지반 속에 설치된 매설관에 작용하는 측방하중의 크기와 하중증가 속도가 컸으며 초기지반변형에서는 측방하중이 매설관의 직경 및 형상의 영향을 적게 받지만 지반변형량이 증가함에 따라 그 영향이 크게 나타났다.

  • 본 연구에서는 아산만 지역의 해안 연약층에서 채취한 해성토의 거동을 자동화된 삼축실험기를 사용하여 비배수 상태하에서 실내실험과 모델예측을 수행하여 파괴전과 파괴상태시 응력-변형률 상태를 점토질 및 실트질 흙과 비교분석하였다. 채취한 해성토는 실트질 70%와 점토질 30%가 섞인 혼합토로 현장의 비교란 시료와 이를 재 성형한 시료의 2종류로 만들어 400kpa인 유효구속압력까지 등방압밀 시킨 후 압밀하중을 감소시키며 구속압이 각각 400, 200, 100, 67kpa인 경우에 비배수 상태로 삼축압축 및 인장실험을 하였다. 본 연구결과 모든 시료의 극한상태를 연결하면 일정한 파괴선에 도달하였으며 이때 파괴선은 순수점토나 실트에 비해서는 그 기울기에 차이가 있었다. 또한 정규압밀된 아산만 해성토에서는 전단초기에는 순수점토와 유사하게 전단하에서는 양의 간극수압이 발생하여 P'이 계속 감소하나 실트질에서 나타나는 상태변형선을 지나서는 체적팽창경향이 나타나며 전단강도가 증가하고 있다. 과압밀 시료는 체적변형 경향으로 순수실트와는 상당히 다른 거동을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 수정 Camflay모델 및 항복경계면 모델을 사용하여 예측한 결과 정규압밀된 경우에는 최대강도 이전까지는 실제거동을 적절히 예측할 수 있었으나 과압밀비$(2\leqOCR\leq6)$가 커질수록 그 거동에는 정량적인 차이를 보임을 알 수 있었다.

  • To achieve a wide suction range, the low suction was imposed on compacted silt specimens by the axis translation technique and the high suction was imposed by the vapor equilibrium technique with saturated salt solutions. Firstly, the results of soil water retention tests on compacted silt show that the soil water retention curves in terms of gravimetric water content versus suction relation are independent of the dry density or void ratio in a high suction range. Therefore, triaxial tests on compacted silt with constant water content at high suctions can be considered as that with constant suction. Secondly, the results of triaxial shear tests on unsaturated compacted silt with the initial void ratio of about 0.75 show a strain-hardening behavior with a slightly shear contraction and then strain-softening behavior with an obviously dilation. As the imposed suction increases, the shear strength increases up to a peak value and then decreases when the suction is beyond a special value corresponding to the peak shear strength. The residual strength increases to fair value and those at high suctions are almost independent of imposed suctions. In addition, the contribution of suction to the strength of compacted silt would not diminish even in a high suction range.
