This paper is the research result about centrifuge model experiments of investigating the behavior of bridge abutment on the sloped ground. Ground condition of the studied site was the bridge abutment with pile foundation adjacent to the slope. The pile foundations was supported on the soft rocks covered with the embankment. Evaluating the behavior of such a complicate ground and structure conditions was not easy so that the centrifuge modelling was performed to find the overall behavior of them. Layout of centrifuge model experiment was simplified to simulate easily the actual behavior of very complicate site condition. Construction process in field such as ground excavation for footing foundation, installation of piles, placement of footing and bridge abutment, backfilling and surcharge loading eas duplicated in the centrifuge model experiment. Consequently, the stability of the piled bridge abutment adjacent to the slope of embankment was evaluated throughout centrifuge modelling.

Scaled centrifuge modelling techniques were used to study the soil-structure interactions and performance of a jointed rollable aluminium roadway (or trackway) system on soft clay under light truck tyre loads. The measured performance and subsequent analyses highlighted that the articulated connections significantly reduced the overall longitudinal flexural stiffness of the roadway leading to stress concentrations in the soil below the joints under tyred vehicle loadings. This resulted in rapid localised failure of the supporting soil that in turn led to excessive transverse flexure of the roadway and ultimately plastic deformations. It is shown that the performance of rollable roadway systems under tyred vehicle trafficking will be improved by eliminating joint rotation to increase longitudinal stiffness.

본 연구에서는 토사나 사석을 이용하여 자체를 축조하는 과정에서 발생하는 연약지반의 강제치환거동을 연구하기 위하여 다양한 시험조건에 대한 원심모셩을 수행하였다. 제체축조에 따른 연약지반의 강제치환거동은 제체의 성토시공방법, 성토재의 입경, 연약지반의 종류와 강도 등에 따라 맣은 차이를 보였는데, 특히 성토과정 중에 발생하는 과잉간극수압의 크기와 밀접한 상관관계를 보였다. 급속시공인 경우에 연약지반의 파괴영역은 회적으로 확대되고 성토사면의 기울기는 완만해졌으며, 성토재의 입경이 클수록 치환깊이가 증가하고 성토사면의 기울기가 급하게 형성되었다. 그리고 동일점토에서는 지반의 강도가 클수록 치환량이 적었지만, 점토의 종류가 다른 경우에는 지반내 발생하는 과잉간극수압의 크기와 소산성조에따라 치환거동이 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper is experimental and numerical research results of performing centrifuge model tests to investigate the geotechnical engineering behavior of slag compaction pile as a substitute of sand compaction pile. In order to find the geotechnical engineering characteristics of the soft clay and the slag used in centrifuge model experiments, basic soil property tests, consolidation test, permeability tests and triaxial compression tests were performed. For centrifuge model tests, slags with changing relative density were used and their bearing capacity, stress concentrations in between pile and soft clay, settlement characteristics, and failure modes were investigated. As a results of centrifuge model tests, it was found that the bearing, capacity of model was increased with increasing density of slag pile and general shear failures were occured. Miniature soil pressure gauges were installed on model pile and soft ground respectively and thus vertical stress acting on them were measured. Stress concentration ratio was found to be in the range of 2.0~3.0. Bearing capacity obtained from the model test with slag was greater than that from the model test with a sand having the identical layout to each other. Thus it was confirmed the slag was an appropriate substitution of pile for sand.

서남해안 지역의 중간조밀한 실트질모래 지반에서 버켓기초 스커트벽체의 압입저항력을 원심모형실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 압입저항력은 석션을 작용하지 않고 버켓기초를 지반에 관입시킬 때 발생하는 저항력으로서 자중관입 깊이와 직접적으로 관계된다. 스커트벽체의 주면저항력에 의한 지반의 응력증가 효과를 고려하는 방법(Houlsby and Byrne, 2005) 을 기반으로 실험 결과와 유사한 압입저항력을 산정할 수 있었다. 압입저항력 산정에 이용되는 수평토압계수, 스커트 벽체와 지반간의 경계면 마찰각 등의 주요 물성값의 산정 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 또한, 응력증가 효과의 고려 여부와 물성값의 변화가 압입저항력 산정 결과에 미치는 영향과 실험을 통해 계측된 압입시 지반거동에 대하여 분석하였다.

Piles passing through sloping liquefiable deposits are prone to lateral loading if these deposits liquefy and flow during earthquakes. These lateral loads caused by the relative soil-pile movement will induce bending in the piles and may result in failure of the piles or excessive pile-head displacement. Whilst the weak nature of the flowing liquefied soil would suggest that only small loads would be exerted on the piles, it is known from case histories that piles do fail owing to the influence of laterally spreading soils. It will be shown, based on dynamic centrifuge test data, that dilatant behaviour of soil close to the pile is the major cause of these considerable transient lateral loads which are transferred to the pile. This paper reports the results of geotechnical centrifuge tests in which models of gently sloping liquefiable sand with pile foundations passing through them were subjected to earthquake excitation. The soil close to the pile was instrumented with pore-pressure transducers and contact stress cells in order to monitor the interaction between soil and pile and to track the soil stress state both upslope and downslope of the pile. The presence of instrumentation measuring pore-pressure and lateral stress close to the pile in the research described in this paper gives the opportunity to better study the soil stress state close to the pile and to compare the loads measured as being applied to the piles by the laterally spreading soils with those suggested by the JRA design code. This test data shows that lateral stresses much greater than one might expect from calculations based on the residual strength of liquefied soil may be applied to piles in flowing liquefied slopes owing to the dilative behaviour of the liquefied soil. It is shown at least for the particular geometry studied that the current JRA design code can be un-conservative by a factor of three for these dilation-affected transient lateral loads.

In this paper stability about lateral soil movement of bridge abutment constructed on the soft ground, reinforced with the sand compaction pile (SCP) and the preconsolidaton methods, was evaluated by using the centrifuge testing facility which stress conditions in field could be reconstructed in the laboratory. The layouts of model such as ground condition, sand compaction piles and abutment was determined on the basis of similitude law with the reduced scale of 1/200. Construction sequences of installing SCP, preparing reclaimed ground, preconsolidating ground and building the piled bridge abutment were reconstructed during centrifuge modelling and measurements of movement were followed in each sequence. From analyzing the results of measuring movements of the model abutment and the ground, measured lateral movement of model abutment was found to be within the allowable value so that stability of abutment against lateral sliding was secured.

Slope stability of sensitive clayey soils is particularly important when subjected to strength loss and deformation. Except for progressive failure, for most sensitive and insensitive slopes, it is important to review the feasibility of conventional analysis methods based on peak strength since peak strength governs slope stability before yielding. In this study, as a part of efforts to understand the behavior of sensitive clay slopes, a total of 12 centrifuge tests were performed for artificially sensitive and insensitive clay slopes using San Francisco Bay Mud (PI = 50) and Yolo Loam (PI = 10). In terms of slope stability, the results were analyzed using the updated instability factor ($N_I$). $N_I$ using equivalent unit weight to cause a failure is in reasonable agreement shown in the Taylor's chart ($N_I$ ~ 5.5). In terms of dynamic deformation, it is shown that two-way sliding is a more accurate approach than conventional one-way sliding. Two-way sliding may relate to diffused shear surfaces. The outcome of this study is contributable to analyzing stability and deformation of steep sensitive clay slopes.

This paper is an experimental result of investigating lateral soil movements at piled bridge abutments by using the centrifuge model facility. Three different centrifuge model experiments, changing the methods of ground improvement at bridge abutment on the soft clayey soil (no improvement, preconsolidation and plastic board drains (PBD), sand compaction pile (SCP) + PBD), were carried out to figure out which method is the most appropriate for resisting against the lateral soil movements. In the centrifuge modelling, construction process in field was reconstructed as close as possible. Displacements of abutment model, ground movement, vertical earth pressure, cone resistance after soil improvement and distribution of water content were monitored during and after centrifuge model tests. As results of centrifuge model experiments, preconsolidation method with PBD was found to be the most effective against the lateral soil movement by analyzing results about displacements of abutment model, ground movement and cone resistance. Increase of shear strength by preconsolidation method resulted in increasing the resistance against lateral soil movement effectively although SCP could mobilize the resistance against lateral soil movement. It was also found that installment with PBD beneath the backfill of bridge abutment induced effective drainage of excess pore water pressure during the consolidation by embanking at the back of the abutment and resulted in increasing the shear strength of clay soil foundation and eventually increasing the resistance of lateral soil movement against piles of bridge abutment.

근래에 들어 증가하고 있는 도심지 지반함몰 사고는 사회적 이슈가 되고 있으며 이로 인해 최근 관련 법안이 발의 되었다. 지반함몰은 수많은 원인인자들의 복합적 작용으로 발생하므로 수치해석적 기법의 적용에 한계점이 존재한다. 이로 인해 지반함몰 메커니즘 규명 연구는 주로 모형실험을 이용하여 진행되었다. 선행 연구들은 상하수도관 파열로 인한 지반함몰 모사에 초점이 맞추어져 있으며, 지하수 흐름, 지반 굴착공사 등 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하는 지반함몰에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 또한 기존 수행된 대부분의 모형실험은 1 g 상태의 모형실험이며, 지반함몰 메커니즘 평가 시 지반의 현장 구속응력을 고려할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 모형실험을 이용한 지반함몰 거동 평가에 대한 선행 연구동향들을 고찰하여 보다 다양한 환경 조건을 모사할 수 있는 기법들에 대해 논의하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 더 신뢰성이 있는 지반함몰 메커니즘 평가 기법으로서 원심모형실험기법을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서는 지반안정성평가에 지반함몰 메커니즘에서 사용한 모형실험 기법을 적용할 것을 제시했다.
