Peatland is distributed in China widely, and organic matters in soil frequently induce problems in the construction and maintenance of highway engineering due to the high permeability and compressibility. In this paper, a selected site of Dali-Lijiang expressway was surveyed in China. A numerical model was built to predict the settlement of the foundation of the selected section employing the soft soil creep (SSC) model in PLAXIS 8.2. The model was subsequently verified by the result of field observance. Consequently, the parameters of 17 types of soils from different regions in China with organic contents varying from 1.1-74.9% were assigned to the numerical model to study the settlement characteristics. The calculated results showed that the duration of primary consolidation and proportion of primary settlement in the total settlement decreased with increasing organic content. Two empirical equations, for total consolidation settlement and secondary settlement, were proposed using multiple linear regression based on the calculated results from the numerical models. The analysis results of the significances of certain soil parameters demonstrated that the natural compression index, secondary compression index, cohesion and friction angle have significant linear relevance with both the total settlement and secondary settlement, while the initial coefficient of permeability exerts significant influence on the secondary settlement only.

This thesis studied the scale effects on bearing capacity and settlement characteristics by using FEM. The conclusions of the study are as follows. 1) For sandy soil, the bearing capacity ratio increased in the form of logarithm as the foundation width increased. Hence application of static mechanic theory results in overestimation of the bearing capacity when the bearing capacity should be derived from plate loading test results. 2) In clayey soil, the characteristics of the bearing capacity associated with foundation width met Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory. 3) In sandy soil, the settlement ratio increased non-linearly as foundation width increased. However, in clayey soil, the settlement ratio increased linearly. 4) In ordinary soil, the foundation width - settlement ratio turned out to be close to that of sandy soil.

This paper reports the application study of the ground reinforement under a buried pipeline subjected to differential settlement via a finite element modelling. The Soil-reinforrement interaction helps to mimimize the differential settlement between the adjoining pipe segments. The settlement pattern and deformation slope of a pipeline have been evaluated for a boundary condition at the joint between a rigid structure and apipeline. The analysis results are compared for both non-reinforied and reinforced cases to measure the effectiveness of the soil reinforcement for restraining the settlement of the pipeline.

얕은기초의 침하해석에 관련된 토질정수, 하중 및 지층구조는 많은 불확실성을 내포하고 있어 확률적 특성을 고려한 해석이 필요하다. 본 연구는 Monte Carlo Method를 이용하여 독립후팅들로 구성된 얕은기초의 침하에 관한 확률론적 해석을 하였다. 변수의 불확실성을 고려하기 위하여 토질정수와 하중은 정규분포의 확률변수로 가정하여 독립후팅의 침하평균 및 변동계수를 구하고 각 독립후팅의 침하도 정규분포하는 것으로 가정하였다. 또한 지반내에 존재할 수 있는 연약토질 포켓 (soft soil pocket)의 확률을 고려한 각 독립후팅의 침하는 Markov process를 따르는 것으로 하였다. 이와같은 각 변수들의 변화에 따라 최대침하와 부등칭하의 허용한계 초과확률에 대한 민감도분석을 하였으며, 얕은기초의 침하해석은 각 변수의 불확실성과 지반조건을 고려하는 것이 타당하다고 판단된다.

For this study, a Peliyagoda area located on a route was selected among many sections of a CKE(Colombo to Katunayake Expressway) route in Sri-Lanka. Its subground consists of a very weak and thick peat soil named amorphous or fibrous peat. All of data, obtained in the design process of soft ground treatment were analyzed to evaluate the settlement characteristics resulted from an embankment load and to present reasonable methods for estimation of secondary compression settlement. For these purposes, soil parameters were used obtainedby field and laboratory tests the settlement analyses were conducted base on the field monitoring results within 20 months. In addition, Reasonable methods were studied to estimate primary consolidation and secondary compression settlement.

In this paper the settlement characteristic of shallow foundation on sandy soil overlained by rigid ground was investigated by analyzing results of model tests. For model experiments, model tests were performed with sandy soils sampled from the field, changing the relative density of sandy soil and the ratio of thickness of sandy layer(H) to the width of model strip footing(B). As result of tests, settlement of sandy soils increases as the value of H/B increases, whereas it increases with relative density of soil. Bearing capacity decreases as the thickness of the sand layer relative to the footing width increases. In order to analyze the settlement characteristics of sandy ground, the results of model tests were compared with the predicted values using the empirical formulas proposed by Terzaghi, De Beer and Schmertmann. The method by De Beer was found to be in good agreements with test results.

To analyze the settlement characteristics of short-fiber reinforced soil(SFRS), which will be used as a new backfill material of reinforced retaining wall, under simulated railroad loading, a series of tests with loading condition of 5 Hz frequency and 500,000 cycles were performed. The materials used for tests are soils with SM or ML type, and polypropylene short-fibers with mono-filament(PPM) or fibrillated type(PPF). From the tests, average plastic settlement is low at PPF38(0.3%)(abbreviation of PPF with 38mm length and mixing ratio 0.3%), PPF38(0.5%), PPM60(0.2%) for SFRS using SM soil and at PPF38(0.3%), PPF60(0.2%) for SFRS using ML soil. Elastic settlement is low at PPM60(0.2%) for SFRS using SM soil and at PPM60(0.5%) for SFRS using ML soil.

In this paper, a series of repeated load tests were carried out on a 150 mm diameter plate simulative of vehicle passes, to demonstrate the benefits of soil-rubber shred mixture in decreasing the soil surface settlement of road embankment. The results show that the efficiency of rubber reinforcement is significantly a function of the rubber content, thickness of rubber-soil mixture and soil cap thickness over the mixture. Minimum surface settlement is provided by 2.5% of rubber in rubber-soil mixture, the thickness of mixture layer and soil cap of 0.5 times the loading surface diameter, giving values of 0.32-0.68 times those obtained in the unreinforced system for low and high values of amplitude of repeated load. In this installation, in contrast with unreinforced bed that shows unstable response, the rate of enhancement in settlement decreases significantly as the number of loading cycles increase and system behaves resiliently without undergoing plastic deformation. The findings encourage the use of rubber shreds obtained from non-reusable tires as a viable material in road works.

연약지반에 구조물을 설치하거나 도로 또는 단지를 조성하는 경우 지지력 부족으로 인한 지반 전단파괴 및 과도한 압밀침하 등 공학적 문제가 발생하게 되어, 강도증가 및 침하억제를 위한 지반 개량공사를 필수적으로 시행하여야 한다. 연약지반을 개량함에 있어 현장계측자료를 바탕으로 한 장기침하량 예측은 선행재하 성토고 및 압밀완료시점 예측을 위한 매우 중요한 요소로 이에 관한 연구가 국내 외 여러 학자들에 의해 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행재하 및 연직배수 공법을 적용하여 점성토 연약지반개량을 시행한 연구 대상 지역의 압밀침하 특성을 분석하였으며, 쌍곡선법, ${\sqrt{S}}$법, Asaoka법을 적용하여 압밀도에 따른 예측 침하량과 실측 최종침하량을 비교 분석하여 김포한강지구의 토질특성에 맞는 침하예측기법을 연구하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 3가지 예측방법으로 추정한 침하량과 계측침하량의 오차가 최대 ${\pm}4$% 이내로 실 침하량과 거의 일치하였으며, 예측의 정확도는 Asaoka법, 쌍곡선법, ${\sqrt{s}}$법 순으로 나타났다.

A pile is compressed with settlements when loading and bearing capacity is altered along relative displacement of pile/soil on settlement and compression. Settlements of pile displaying limit skin friction is different from displaying tip resistance. Therefore, it is an error in traditional method that bearing capacity of pile is estimated from the sum of limit skin fraction and tip resistance. Accordingly, development of design method considering behavior of load-settlement is needed. In this study, we would like to establish the base for development of design method considering bearing capacity altering along displacement on settlement and compression. For this, we established system and substance of design method. And in order to establish relationship of load-settlement of pile on the type of soil, we analyzed and arranged existing database and pile loading test. On design method, settlement is assumed gradually on each capacity level being assumed gradually. Bearing capacity developing on the pile is obtained on each settlement level. Until the obtained bearing capacity will be equal to assumed capacity, this process is continued with increasing settlement. Load-settlement curve for soil classification is sketched in the process computing settlement on assumed capacity. This design method will be materialized by computation program.
