This paper presents the analysis of mechanical behavior of metal wall panels of storehouses and industrial buildings subjected to differential settlements. The storehouses considered are representative of those used in the agricultural activity. A small-scale model was built and tested in order to have evidence of the behavior and to validate computational models. The numerical investigation is carried out through finite element analysis using a general-purpose software, by modeling buildings with different geometries and evaluating different settlements of the ground. To obtain an adequate model, geometric non-linearity has to be taken into account. Models that represent the most usual geometric typologies were investigated under support settlements. The deflected shape of the wall panel and the relationship between the horizontal displacements and the settlement of the foundations are evaluated. The results show that there are large out-of-plane displacements caused by settlements that would be admitted by design recommendations.

한국시설안전공단에서는 '시설물의 안전관리에 관한 특별법'에 따라 철근콘크리트 구조물의 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단을 실시하도록 제시하고 있다. 그러나 한국시설안전공단 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 세부지침의 평가방법에서는 평가결과를 등급으로 제시하기 때문에 구조물의 잔존수명을 알 수 없으며 부등침하가 구조물의 잔존수명에 미치는 영향을 반영하지 못한다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 부등침하의 영향이 반영된 구조물의 잔존수명 평가모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 부등침하와 각 변위의 상관관계를 나타내는 기존의 연구를 바탕으로 부재의 공칭강도에 부등침하의 영향을 반영시키기 위한 식을 제시하였으며, 실제 철근콘크리트 구조물의 현장데이터를 활용하여 부등침하가 구조물의 잔존수명에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 부동침하 영향을 고려하여 지진 하중을 받는 1,300 ton 규모의 스테인리스 배수지 구조에 대한 3차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 1,000 ton 규모 이상의 대용량에 대한 지진하중은 한국표준 규격 규정으로부터 확장하여 산정하였다. 부동침하가 발생한 배수지는 특히 지진하중에 대하여 구조적 거동에 중요한 영향이 발생할 수 있다. 다양한 하중 조합에 대하여 정상상태의 경우, 침하가 고려된 경우, 그리고 수평으로 보강된 경우에 대한 응력 및 변위 분포의 변화를 도출하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 부동침하가 발생된 배수지는 지진하중 조합에 대하여 최대 변위가 크게 증가하게 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The foundation of a tall building frame resting on settable soil mass undergoes differential settlements which alter the forces in the structural members significantly. For tall buildings it is essential to consider seismic forces in analysis. The building frame, foundation and soil mass are considered to act as single integral compatible structural unit. The stress-strain characteristics of the supporting soil play a vital role in the interaction analysis. The resulting differential settlements of the soil mass are responsible for the redistribution of forces in the superstructure. In the present work, the nonlinear interaction analysis of a two-bay ten-storey plane building frame- layered soil system under seismic loading has been carried out using the coupled finite-infinite elements. The frame has been considered to act in linear elastic manner while the soil mass to act as nonlinear elastic manner. The subsoil in reality exists in layered formation and consists of various soil layers having different properties. Each individual soil layer in reality can be considered to behave in nonlinear manner. The nonlinear layered system as a whole will undergo differential settlements. Thus, it becomes essential to study the structural behaviour of a structure resting on such nonlinear composite layered soil system. The nonlinear constitutive hyperbolic soil model available in the literature is adopted to model the nonlinear behaviour of the soil mass. The structural behaviour of the interaction system is investigated as the shear forces and bending moments in superstructure get significantly altered due to differential settlements of the soil mass.

To research and analyze the differential settlements of foundations specifically, site investigations of existing railways and metro were firstly carried out. Then, the centrifugal test was used to observe differential settlements in different position between foundations on the basis of investigation. The theoretical model was established according to the stress diffusion method and Fourier method to establish an analytical solution of embankment differential settlement between different foundations. Finally, theoretical values and experimental values were analyzed comparatively. The research results show that both in horizontal and vertical directions, evident differential settlement exists in a limited area on both sides of the vertical interface between different foundations. The foundation with larger elastic modulus can transfer more additional stress and cause relatively less settlement. Differential settlement value decreases as the distance to vertical interface decreases. In the vertical direction of foundation, mass differential settlement also exists on both sides of the vertical interface and foundation with larger elastic modulus can transfer more additional stress. With the increase of relative modulus of different foundations, foundation with lower elastic modulus has larger settlement. Meanwhile, differential settlement is more obvious. The main error sources in theoretical and experimental values include: (a) different load form; (b) foundation characteristics differences; (c) modulus conversion; (d) effect of soil internal friction.

A new type of soft ground breakwater was recently developed, which does not need ground improvement because of light weight and structural characteristics. The various studies about consolidation settlements and lateral behavior of proposed soft ground breakwater have been conducted. But, the systematic investigations on the construction performance and long-term settlements of new type breakwater has not been accomplished. In this study, construction simulation of soft ground breakwater with soil box model test and experiments of the long-term wave loaded breakwater were performed. The results of test shows that it is possible to compensate differential settlements by dead loading and/or suction pressure, and to reduce the consolidation settlements by preloading method. It was also found that the vertical and lateral displacements of long-term wave loaded breakwater were negligible.

The importance of considering soil-structure interaction effect in the analysis and design of RC frame buildings is increasingly recognized but still not penetrated to the grass root level owing to various complexities involved. It is well established fact that the soil-structure interaction effect considerably influence the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral seismic loads. The shear walls are often provided in such buildings to increase the lateral stability to resist seismic lateral loads. In the present work, the linear soil-structure analysis of a G+5 storey RC shear wall building frame resting on isolated column footings and supported by deformable soil is presented. The finite element modelling and analysis is carried out using ANSYS software under normal loads as well as under seismic loads. Various load combinations are considered as per IS-1893 (Part-1):2002. The interaction analysis is carried out with and without shear wall to investigate the effect of inclusion of shear wall on the total and differential settlements in the footings due to deformations in the soil mass. The frame and soil mass both are considered to behave in linear elastic manner. It is observed that the soil-structure interaction effect causes significant total and differential settlements in the footings. Maximum total settlement in footings occurs under vertical loads and inner footings settle more than outer footings creating a saucer shaped settlement profile of the footings. Each combination of seismic loads causes maximum differential settlement in one or more footings. Presence of shear wall decreases pulling/pushing effect of seismic forces on footings resulting in more stability to the structures.

토압, 지하수위 상승, 집중호우, 구조적 결함 등 여러 요인들로 인해 발생한 흙막이 벽체의 변위는 배면지반에 변위를 발생시키고, 과다한 지반의 변위로 인해 발생한 구조물의 부등침하는 구조물의 파손이나 파괴를 일으킨다. 이러한 경우, 벽체와 구조물의 보강대책이 강구되어야 한다. 최근 이러한 문제를 최소화하거나, 억제하기 위한 보강대책 중 하나는 마이크로 파일을 이용하는 방법이다. 본 연구는 벽체의 변위로 인해 발생할 인접구조물의 부등침하를 억제시키기 위해 설치한 마이크로 파일의 보강효과의 경향을 파악하고자 실시한 모형실험을 다루고 있다. 실험결과, 마이크로 파일의 설치길이는 2B(B:기초 폭), 간격은 2D(D:파일직경)로 설치하는 경우가 가장 발생한 침하율이 작았다. 또한 이 경우(L=2B, s=2D), 구조물에서 이격거리 0.1B 이내에서 지표면에 수직방향으로 설치할 때가 침하율이 가장 작게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

We measure subsidences occurred in a reclaimed coastal land, Noksan industrial complex, by using JERS-1 SAR (1996-1998) and RADARSAT-1 SAR (2002-2003) dataset. SAR with a high spatial resolution (about several or several tens meter) can reveal the two-dimensional distribution of settlement that would be bardly estimated from in situ measurements. The DInSAR results show significant deformation signal associated with soil consolidation. Accuracy of the settlements estimated by 2-pass differential interferometry (DInSAR) is evaluated using the measurements of settlement gauge. A two-dimensional subsidence map is constructed from 7 qualified pairs. Comparing the JERS-1 radar measurements with the ground truth data yields the correlation coefficient of 0.87 (RMSE of 1.44 cm). The regression line shows the gradient of 1.04 and intercepts close to the origin, which implies that the unbiased settlement can be measured by DInSAR technique. The residual settlements are also detected from RADARSAT-1 pairs. The extent and amount of the settlements are matched well with ground truth data.
