Centrifuge model tests were performed to find appropriate equations proposed previously of estimating the bearing capacity of the composite clayey soil reinforced with sand compaction pile. Model tests were carried out with changing the replacement ratio of SCP (20%, 40%, 70%), contents of fine materials (5%, 10%, 15%) and ratio of treated width to loading width (1B, 2B, 3B). Test results about bearing capacity of the composite ground were obtained by performing the surcharge load tests with measurements of applied loads and vertical displacement. Bearing capacities against bulging and shear failures were estimated by the existing equations. As results of comparing the estimated bearing capacity with experimental values the bearing capacities estimated by Greenwood's equation (1970) for bulging failure mode were similar to the test results.

In this paper, the centrifuge model tests were conducted for the sake of measuring three dimensional arching earth pressure while two step excavation of the vertical shaft. The results of the centrifuge model tests were compared to newly suggested arching earth pressure equation proposed by Kim et al(2009) and two dimension earth pressure(Rankine). As the results, Measured arching earth pressure revealed about 35 percentages of two dimension earth pressure(Rankine) and almost same as that of newly suggested arching earth pressure equation.

To investigate earthquake responses of structures with basements affected by soil deposits, centrifuge tests were performed using an in-flight earthquake simulator. The test specimen was composed of a single-degree-of-freedom structure model, a basement and sub-soil deposits in a centrifuge container. The test parameters were the dynamic period of the structure model, boundary conditions of the basement, existence of soil deposits, centrifugal acceleration level, and type and level of input earthquake accelerations. When soil deposits did not exist, the earthquake responses of the structures with fixed basement were significantly greater than those of the structure without basement. Also, the earthquake responses of the structures with the fixed basement surrounded by soil deposits were amplified, but the amplifications were smaller than those of the structures without basement. The earthquake responses of the structures with the half-embedded basement in the soil deposits were greater than those estimated by the fixed base model using the measured free-field ground motion. The test showed that the basement and the soil deposit should be simultaneously considered in the numerical analysis model, and the stiffness of the half-embedded was not effective.

A centrifuge model study is carried out to investigate the behavior of pile subject to negative skin friction induced by pile installation, ground water drawdown and surcharge loading. A single end-bearing pile is examined as the induced negative skin friction would induce the most severe stress on the pile structural material as compared to friction piles. In addition, the behavior of the pile under simultaneous negative skin friction and dead/live loads is examined. To facilitate detailed interpretations of the test results, the model setup is extensively instrumented and involves elaborate test control schemes. To further examine the phenomenon of negative skin friction on an end-bearing pile, finite element analyses were conducted. The numerical analysis is first validated against the centrifuge test data and subsequently extended to examine the effects of pile slenderness ratio, surcharge intensity and pile-soil stiffness ratio on the degree of mobilization of negative skin friction induced on the pile. Finally experimental and numerical studies are conducted to examine the effect of applied transient live load on pile subject to negative skin friction.

Piled raft foundation is a geotechnical composite construction to support the superstructure by pile-soil-raft interaction. General conventional design for piled raft doesn't consider the contribution of a raft. This is very conservative and requires more piles to satisfy the factor of safety. It is important to evaluate the load sharing features of piled raft. In this research, this characteristics of piled raft evaluated using both centrifuge and numerical modelings. The ultimate bearing capacity of piled raft foundation was also evaluated and predicted through comparisons of ultimate bearing capacity of single pile (SP), unpiled raft (UR), freestanding pile group (FPG) and piled raft (PR). $\xi_{pr}$ and $\eta$ were determined by centrifuge model tests to simply evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of piled raft and bearing capacity of piled raft was predicted using the calibrated numerical model based on the centrifuge tests and laboratory tests data.

The centrifuge and 1-g shaking table tests were performed simultaneously to compare the dynamic behaviors of loose sands of same geotechnical properties. The prototype soils were 10 m thick liquefiable loose sands. The geometric scaling factors were 20 for 1-g and 40 for centrifuge tests. The excess pore pressure, surface settlement, and acceleration in the soil were measured at the same locations in the 1-g and centrifuge tests. The total excess pore pressure from development to dissipation was measured. In the centrifuge test, viscous fluid was used as the pore water to eliminate the time scaling difference between dynamic time and dissipation time. In the 1-g tests, the steady state concept was applied to determine the unit weight of the model soil, and two different time scaling factors were applied for the dynamic time and the dissipationtime. It is concluded that the 1-g tests can simulate the excess pore pressure of the prototype soil if the permeability of the model soil is small enough to prevent dissipation of excess pore pressure during shaking and the dissipation time scaling factor is properly determined.

This study examined the jack-up spudcan penetration for a new type of offshore wind substructure newly proposed using the jack-up concept to reduce construction costs. The jack-up spudcan for offshore wind turbines should be designed to penetrate a stable soil layer capable of supporting operational loads. This study evaluated multi-layered soil conditions using centrifuge tests: loose sand over clay and loose sand-clay-dense sand. The penetration resistance profiles of spudcan recorded at the centrifuge tests were compared with the ISO and InSafeJIP methods. In the tests, a spudcan punch-through effect slightly emerged under the sand-over-clay condition, and a spudcan squeezing effect occurred in the clay-over-sand layer. On the other hand, these two effects were not critically predicted using the ISO method, and the InSafeJIP result predicted only punch-through failure. Nevertheless, ISO and InSafeJIP methods were well-matched under the conditions of the clay layer beneath the sand and the penetration resistance profiles at the clay layer of centrifuge tests. Therefore, the ISO and InSafeJIP methods well predict the punch-through effect at the clay layer but have limitations for penetration resistance predictions at shallow depths and strong stratum soil below a weak layer.

얕은기초의 회전거동은 지진 시 기초 위 상부 구조물의 지진 하중을 줄여주는 장점이 있어 새로운 기초 내진설계개념으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 채취한 시료를 다짐하여 조성된 풍화토 지반에서 얕은기초의 회전거동을 평가하기 위하여 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험 모형은 풍화토 지반, 얕은기초, 단자유도 구조물로 이루어져 있으며, 지진 시 지반, 기초, 구조물의 가속도 응답과 기초의 침하 등 얕은기초 시스템의 거동을 관찰하였다. 입력 지진 하중이 클 경우 상부 구조물의 지진하중은 풍화토 지반에 놓인 기초 들뜸에 의한 회전거동으로 인해 줄어들었으며, 기초의 침하도 최대 기초폭의 0.5%이하로 작게 발현되었다. 이를 통하여 향후 추가적인 연구 및 검증을 바탕으로 국내 풍화토 지반에서 회전 거동 개념을 이용한 기초 설계 가능성을 확인하였다.

캡이 설치된 오염된 해성 퇴적층의 압밀침하를 연구하기 위해 원심모형 실험이 실시 되었다. 간극수의 이동을 관측하기 위해 형광색 염료가 사용되었다. 염료이동을 추적한 결과 압밀에 의한 오염원의 이류이동이 확실히 나타났다. 그러므로 압밀에 의한 오염원의 이류이동을 감소시키기 위해 캡핑을 적절하게 설계해야만 한다. 그리고, 원심모형실험 결과와 캡이 설치된 해성 퇴적층의 압밀침하를 예측할 수 있는 PSDDF 프로그램으로 예측된 값이 비교되었다. 원심모형실험결과와 PSDDF 예측치 비교에서 원형시간이 18년 이후에는 원심모형실험 결과와 PSDDF 예측치가 대체로 잘 일치하지만, 원형시간 6년에서 두 결과 사이에 최대 20% 가까운 격차가 나타났다. 그러므로 설계자는 PSDDF 프로그램에 의해 얻은 압밀침하 결과를 사용 시 주의가 요구된다.

최근, 성능기반 내진설계법이 도입되면서 동적수치해석을 수행하여 지진에 대한 구조물의 실제 거동을 엄밀히 평가하는 것이 필요해지고 있다. 성능기반설계를 수행하려면 수치해석 모델링의 적용성을 검증하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치해석을 수행하여 말뚝지지 구조물의 동적 거동을 분석하고 수치모델링 기법과 입력변수값 산정방법을 제안하였다. 수치모델링의 적용성은 느슨한 사질토 지반에 설치된 무리말뚝의 동적 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 본 수치모델링은 동적 지반 물성값, 지반-말뚝 상호작용, 경계조건, 무리말뚝과 구조물의 모델링 등 원심모형실험의 실제 조건을 반영하도록 모델링하였다. 그 결과, 수치해석에서 얻어진 결과는 지반 내 가속도 변화, 말뚝의 모멘트와 변위, 그리고 구조물의 변위와 가속도 결과를 잘 모사하였다. 그러므로, 본 수치모델링 기법과 입력변수 산정기법이 무리말뚝의 내진성능을 평가할 때 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
