This study analyses the seismic response of a three-dimensional (3-D) rigid massless square foundation resting or embedded in a viscoelastic soil limited by rigid bedrock. The foundation is subjected to harmonic oblique seismic waves P, SV, SH and R. The key step is the characterization of the soil-foundation interaction by computing the impedance matrix and the input motion matrix. A 3-D frequency boundary element method (BEM) in conjunction with the thin layer method (TLM) is adapted for the seismic analysis of the foundation. The dynamic response of the rigid foundation is solved from the wave equations by taking into account the soil-foundation interaction. The solution is formulated using the frequency BEM with the Green's function obtained from the TLM. This approach has been applied to analyze the effect of soilstructure interaction on the seismic response of the foundation as a function of the kind of incident waves, the angles of incident waves, the wave's frequencies and the embedding of foundation. The parametric results show that the non-vertical incident waves, the embedment of foundation, and the wave's frequencies have important impact on the dynamic response of rigid foundations.

쏘일네일은 지반과 네일간에 발생하는 마찰특성을 이용하여 지반을 보강하기 때문에 쏘일네일의 길이는 지반의 안정성에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이와 같은 이유로 쏘일네일의 길이를 정확히 평가하여 지반의 안정성을 확보해야 한다. 본 연구는 쏘일네일의 길이를 평가하는 기법을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로써 비파괴기법의 적용성을 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 커플러로 연결된 철근에도 적용 가능한 기법을 개발하기 위해 초음파와 전자기파를 적용한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 초음파는 커플러의 영향으로 신호를 측정할 수 없는 반면, 전자기파의 경우 커플러의 영향 없이 신호를 측정할 수 있었다. 둘째, 쏘일네일의 길이에 따른 전자기파 신호양상을 파악하기 위해 1 m~15 m의 길이가 되도록 철근을 조합한 후, 전자기파를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 철근의 길이가 증가할수록 전자기파의 도달시간이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 기 설치된 쏘일네일에도 적용할 수 있도록 접지선을 이용한 실험도 수행하였다. 실험결과, 접지선을 이용한 경우에도 철근의 길이가 증가할수록 전자기파의 도달시간도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 전자기파가 쏘일네일의 길이를 평가하기에 유용한 기법임을 보여준다.

Ultrasonic waves have several mechanical, chemical, and biological effects on a saturated soil medium. Their mechanical effects, popularly known as cavitation. Cavitation is the rapid and repeated formation, and resulting implosion, of imcrobubbles in a liquid, resulting in the propagation of microscopic shock waves. In a soil-liquid system, their mechanical effects generate high differntial fluid-particle velocities and microscopic shock waves. The velocity perturbations are capable of dislodging oil in the system by overcoming the forces binding oil to sand particles. In this study, a series of laboratory experiments involving the simple flushing and ultrasonic flushing were carried out. An increase in permeability and oil removal rate were observed in ultrasonic flushing tests. Some practical implications of these results are discussed in terms of technical feasibility of in situ implementation of ultrasonics.

This study, analyses the seismic response for a rigid massless square foundation resting on a viscoelastic soil layer limited by rigid bedrock. The foundation is subjected either to externally applied forces or to obliquely incident seismic body or surface harmonic seismic waves P, SV and SH. A 3-D frequency domain BEM formulation in conjunction with the thin layer method (TLM) is adapted here for the solution of elastodynamic problems and used for obtained the seismic response. The mathematical approach is based on the method of integral equations in the frequency domain using the formalism of Green's functions (Kausel and Peck 1982) for layered soil, the impedance functions are calculated by the compatibility condition. In this study, The key step is the characterization of the soil-foundation interaction with the input motion matrix. For each frequency the impedance matrix connects the applied forces to the resulting displacement, and the input motion matrix connects the displacement vector of the foundation to amplitudes of the free field motion. This approach has been applied to analyze the effect of soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of the foundation resting on a viscoelastic soil layer limited by rigid bedrock.

In this study, characteristics of the fundamental longitudinal guided wave mode, L(0,1), which is a usual mode employed in the inspection of the above-ground pipe, of the buried pipe were numerically investigated considering property changes in the surrounding soil. Results showed that soil conditions are significantly affecting the attenuation of L(0,1) mode in the pipe embedded in soil. Especially, if the soil is partially saturated, the attenuation of L(0,1) mode is larger and is very similar regardless of the degree of water saturation in the surrounding soil. However, when the soil is fully saturated, the attenuation of L(0,1) mode is less and show different trend with its partially saturated counterparts.

In order to obtain more reliable data for the information on the ground, a new site Investigation method is proposed, in which seismic waves (S-waves) generated by the Swedish Ram Sounding Test (SRS) are used. It is indicated that the energy transferred from the hammer to the rod in SRS's is much more stable, compared to SPT's. A series of SRS with measurements of seismic waves at the ground surface were carried out to clarify the characteristics of seismic wave propagation in the ground. As the results of comparison between seismic S-wave amplitudes and $N_d$ (blow count for 20 cm penetration in SRS), it was found that amplitudes of S-waves generated by SRS correlate well with $N_d$. The amplitude of the S-wave is thought to be more adequate parameter for the soil strength and rigidity than $N_d$.

The quasi-static finite element (FE) approaches are widely used for the seismic analysis of tunnels. However, the conventional quasi-static approaches may cause significant deviations when the tunnel excavation process is simulated prior to the quasi-static analysis. In addition, they cannot account for vertical excitations. Therefore, this paper first highlights the limitations of conventional approaches. A hybrid quasi-static FE approach is subsequently proposed and extensively validated for various conditions. The hybrid approach is simple and not time consuming, and it can be used for the preliminary seismic design of tunnels, especially when the tunnel excavation and vertically propagating P-waves are considered.

Acoustically enhanced soil flushing method is a newly developed in-situ remediation technique. However, there has not been an analytical method that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonic wave under different conditions. This study was undertaken to investigate the degree of enhancement in contaminant removal due to ultrasonic energy on the soil flushing method. The test conditions included different levels of ultrasonic power and hydraulic gradient. The test soils were Ottawa sand, a fine aggregate, and a natural soil, and the surrogate contaminant was a Crisco Vegetable Oil. The test results showed that sonication could increase contaminant removal significantly. Increasing sonication power increased pollutant removal. The faster the flow is, the smaller the degree of enhancement will be. The pollutants in dense soils are more difficult to be removed than in loose soils.

This paper presents a study of soil-structure interaction problems using infinite elements. The infinite elements are formulated for homogeneous and layered soil media, based on approximate expressions for three components of propagating waves, namely Rayleigh, compressive and shear waves. The integration scheme which was proposed for problems with single wave component by Zienkiewicz is expanded to the multi-wave problem. Verifications are carried out on rigid circular footings which are placed on and embedded in elastic half space. Numerical analysis is performed for a containment structure of a nuclear power plant subjected seismic excitation.

강릉지역은 유기질토가 생성되기 적합한 환경을 지닌 지역으로 유기질토 상부와 하부에 퇴적 모래층이 분포되어 있는 충적층 지반이 존재한다. 본 연구는 모래층 사이에 유기질토 및 점토가 협재된 지반 상부에 조성된 강릉지역을 통과하는 철도노반의 내진 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 상사율을 고려한 철도노반 및 지반 모형을 제작하여 진동대 시험을 실시하고 유효응력 해석 결과값을 비교하여 내진 안정성을 평가하였다. 적용된 지진파는 인공지진파, 경주지진파, Borah 지진파, Nahanni 지진파, Tabas 지진파를 적용하였으며 상부 모래층의 최대 응답가속도는 0.239g(인공지진파), 과잉간극수압비는 0.509(Borah파)가 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 신설노반의 하부지반에 적용된 jet grouting에 의한 지반보강 효과로 인해 신설 노반의 발생변위는 기존노반에 비해 최소 33.7%에서 최대 56.7% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 진동대 시험결과는 Flac 프로그램의 Finn 모델을 적용한 유효응력해석으로 검증하였으며, 진동대 시험값과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.
