Stone column is one of the soft ground improvement method, which enhances ground conditions through ground water draining, settlement reducing and bearing capacity increasing complexly by using crushed stone instead of sand in general vertical drain methods. In recent, general construction material, sand is in short of supply, because of the unbalance of demand and supply. Also, the bearing capacity improving effect of stone column method is needed in many cases so the bearing capacity estimation is considered as important point. Nevertheless, adequate estimation methods to predict bearing capacity of stone column considering stone column and improving ground behavior reciprocally is not yet prepared. To contribute this situation, bearing capacity behavior of stone column were simulated as numerically on various property cases of crushed stone and surrounded ground. Through the numerical analysis of simulation results, bearing capacity behavior prediction formula was suggested. This formula was verified by comparing the prediction result with in situ test.

The load transfer mechanism and load-bearing capacity of cast steel joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection are studied based on the deformation compatibility theory. Then the monotonic tensile experiments are conducted for 12 specimens about the cast steel joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection. The findings are that the tensile bearing capacity of the cast steel joints for beam-column connection depends on the ring of cast steel stiffener. The tensile fracture happens at the ring of the cast steel stiffener when the joint fails. The thickness of square tube column has little influence on the bearing capacity of the joint. The square tube column buckles while the joint without concrete filled, but the strength failure happens for the joint with concrete filled column. And the length of welding connection between square tube column and cast steel stiffener has little influence on the load-bearing capacity of the cast steel joint. Finally it is shown that the load-bearing capacity of the joints for H-shaped beam to concrete filled square tube column connection is larger than that of the joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection by 10% to 15%.

A half open cross section built-up column, namely cold-formed thin-walled steel built-up column with 12-limbsection (CTSBC-12) is put forward. To deeply reveal the mechanical behaviors of CTSBC-12 under axial compression and put forward its calculation formula of axial bearing capacity, based on the previous axial compression experimental research, the finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted on 9 CTSBC-12 specimens, and then the variable parameter analysis is carried out. The results show the FEA is in good agreement with the experimental research, the ultimate bearing capacity error is within 10%. When the slenderness ratio is more than 96.54, the ultimate bearing capacity of CTSBC-12 decreases rapidly, and the failure mode changes from local buckling to global buckling. With the local buckling failure mode unchanged, the ultimate bearing capacity decreases gradually as the ratio of web height to thickness increases. Three methods are used for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity, the direct strength method of AISI S100-2007 gives result of ultimate axial load which is closest to the test and FEA results. But for simplicity and practicality, a simplified axial bearing capacity formula is proposed, which has better calculation accuracy with the slenderness ratio changing from 30 to 100.

Stone column is a soil improvement method and can be applicable for loose sand or weak cohesive soil. Since the lack of sand in Korea, stone column seems one of the most adaptable approach for poor ground as a soil improvement method. However, this method was not studied for practical application. In this paper, the most effective design parameters for the being capacity of stone column were studied. The parametric study of major design factors for single stone column was carried out under the bulging and general shear failure condition, respectively. Especially, a test result of single stone column by static load was compared with the bearing capacity values of suggested formulas. The analysis result showed that the ultimate bearing capacity by the formula was much less than the measured value by the static load test. Especially, the result of the parametric study under general shear failure condition showed that the bearing capacity has apparent difference between each suggested formulas with the variation of the major design parameters. Therefore, the result of this study can be a suggestion which is applicable for the field test and the future research.

An experimental study of eleven PVC-FRP Confined Concrete (PFCC) column-Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam joints reinforced with Core Steel Tube (CST) under axial compression is carried out. All specimens are designed in accordance with the principle of "weak column and strong joint". The influences of FRP strips spacing, length and steel ratio of CST, height and stirrup ratio of joint on mechanical behavior are investigated. As the design anticipated, all specimens are destroyed by column failure. The failure mode of PFCC column-RC beam joint reinforced with CST is the yielding of longitudinal steel bars, CST and stirrups of column as well as the fracture of FRP strips and PVC tube. The ultimate bearing capacity decreases as FRP strips spacing or joint height increases. The effects of other three studied parameters on ultimate bearing capacity are not obvious. The strain development rules of longitudinal steel bars, PVC tube, FRP strips, column stirrups and CST are revealed. The effects of various studied parameters on stiffness are also examined. Additionally, an influence coefficient of joint height is introduced based on the regression analysis of test data, a theoretical formula for predicting bearing capacity is proposed and it agrees well with test data.

연약지반 개량공법의 하나인 쇄석기둥은 일반 연직배수공법에 주로 사용되는 모래재료 대신에 쇄석재료를 사용하며 배수 및 침하량 감소, 지지력 증대의 복합 효과에 의해 지반을 개량한다. 최근 들어 대규모 토목공사에 사용되는 건설재료로서 막대한 양이 소요되는 모래는 현재 수요는 급증하고 구득은 갈수록 어려워져 재료는 고갈상태에 이르고 있는 실정으로서 쇄석기둥공법의 적용이 더욱 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 최근 들어 쇄석기둥의 지지력 보강효과를 이용하는 경향이 증가함에 따라 지지력 보강 예측이 중요한 관심사항으로 대두되었으나 아직까지 주변지반과 쇄석기둥 구조체의 상호 거동을 합리적으로 반영한 산정식이 제시되어있지 못한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연약지반상에 조성된 쇄석기둥에 의한 개량효과중 지지력 증대효과를 규명하기 위해 쇄석기둥의 지지력 거동을 수치해석적으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 쇄석기둥이 설치되는 원지반의 물성과 쇄석기둥의 물성을 반영하면서 하중-침하거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 수치해석 시뮬레이션에 의한 지지력 거동을 원지반조건, 쇄석기둥 조건별로 분석하여 쇄석기둥의 지지력 거동식을 제안하고 제안된 지지력 예측방법과 거동을 계측한 실측치와의 검증을 실시하였다.

스톤컬럼 공법의 침하량 저감과 지지력 증진 효과를 파악하고자 연약한 준설매립 지반에 쇄석재료와 슬래그 재료를 이용하여 시험시공 후 지하수위계측 및 현장시험을 진행하였다. 현장실험 결과, 지지력 증진 및 침하량 저감 효과가 파악되었으며 상재하중 없이도 지하수위는 저하되는 양상을 보였다. 이는 스톤컬럼 공법이 밀도증가 측면과 더불어 액상화 저항에 우수함을 나타낸다. 일반적인 이론식을 이용하여 원지반 및 복합지반에 대한 침하량과 지지력 산정 결과, 스톤컬럼 공법은 2.7~5.7배의 지지력 증진 효과와 2~3.5배의 침하량 저감 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

Sand drain as a vertical drainage is widely used in soft ground improvement. Recently, sand, the principal source of sand drain, is running out. A laboratory model test was carried out to utilize gravel as a substitute for sand. Though which the characteristics of gravel are compared to those of sand for engineering purpose. According to the test, the settlement was found to be smaller in gravel drain than in sand drain. The increase in bearing capacity by gravel rile explains the result. The clogging effect was not found in gravel column. As a result, it is assumed that gravel is relatively acceptable as a drainage material. Gravel material seems better than sand material in bearing capacity and it is found that bearing capacity is larger when gravel is used as compaction pile than as drain from in-situ test on bearing capacity. Increase of bearing capacity with gravel pile means an effect of composite ground by stiffness of gravel material. It can lie supposed to use gravel pile instead of sand pile in view of consolidation effect and bearing capacity.

쇄석기둥 공법은 성토제방, 교량교대기초, 오일탱크와 같은 침하에 민감한 구조물의 지지력 증대 및 압밀 촉진에 효과적인 지반 개량 공법이다. 쇄석기둥 공법은 지반의 지지력 증대, 침하감소, 측방유동 방지 및 액상화 방지 등의 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 최근 들어서는 쇄석기둥의 외벽을 토목섬유로 보강(감쌈) 구속력을 증가시켜 줌으로써 쇄석기둥 지반의 하중지지력을 개선시키는 공법에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으나, 지오그리드 보강 쇄석기둥 공법에 대한 연구는 체계화되어 있지 않는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 실내모형실험을 통해 지오그리드로 보강 쇄석기둥의 하중지지력 특성 및 파괴형태를 고찰하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 지오그리드로 보강하지 않은 쇄석기둥공법에 비해 지오그리드보강 쇄석기둥공법의 지지력 개선효과가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있다.
