Cofferdams made of teel sheet piles are commonly utilized as support structures for excavation of sea-crossing bridge foundations. As cofferdams are often subject to tide variation, it is imperative to consider potential effects of tide on stability and serviceability of sheet piles, particularly, ultralong steel sheet piles (USSPs). In this study, a real USSP cofferdam constructed using new construction technology in Nanxi River was reported. The design of key parts of USSP cofferdam in the presence of tidal action was first introduced followed by the description of entire construction technology and associated monitoring results. Subsequently, a three-dimensional finite-element model corresponding to all construction steps was established to back-analyze measured deflection of USSPs. Finally, a series of parametric studies was carried out to investigate effects of tide level, soil parameters, support stiffness and construction sequence on lateral deflection of USSPs. Monitoring results indicate that the maximum deflection during construction occurred near the riverbed. In addition, measured stress of USSPs showed that stability of USSP cofferdam strengthened as construction stages proceeded. Moreover, the numerical back-analysis demonstrated that the USSP cofferdam fulfilled the safety requirements for construction under tidal action. The maximum deflection of USSPs subject to high tide was only 13.57 mm at a depth of -4 m. Sensitivity analyses results showed that the design of USSP cofferdam system must be further improved for construction in cohesionless soils. Furthermore, the 5th strut level before concreting played an indispensable role in controlling lateral deflection of USSPs. It was also observed that pumping out water before concreting base slab could greatly simplify and benefit construction program. On the other hand, the simplification in construction procedures could induce seepage inside the cofferdam, which additionally increased the deflection of USSPs by 10 mm on average.

A reliability analysis is performed to investigate the influence of the uncertainty from the limited in-situ samples and the inherent heterogeneity of the ground on the probability of piping for the marine embankment near shore. The result are compared with those of the deterministic piping stability analysis performed using the fininte element flow analysis. The random variables used are hydraulic conductivity of the ground subsurface and embankment, and the water level of both internal and external side of the embankment. The probability of piping is most sensitive to the mean and standard deviation of internal water level of the embankment among the random variables included in the reliability analysis. It is found that the lower limits of internal water level which satisfies the allowable proability of piping failure for the embankment studied were E.L(-) 1.83m and E.L(-) 1.48m during and after the construction of the embankment, respectively.

서 김해평야에 위치하는 연장 2km의 철도제방은 정규압밀점토인 연약지반 상에 건설되었다. 연직 배수재를 타입하고 단계시공으로 1단계의 시공을 한 직후에 제방은 종방향 균열이 생겨 원호활동의 징조가 나타났다. 이 단계에서 piled raft로 설계변경하고 제방을 완공하였다. 여러 측점에 다양한 계측기를 설치하여 제방 시공 중 piled raft의 거동을 관찰하였다. 이 결과를 정리하여 piled raft 기초의 안전성을 분석한 결과를 이 논문에 기술하였다. 말뚝 무리가 마찰말뚝으로 작용할 때에는 piled raft 기초는 정규압밀점토에서도 안전하고 경제적인 설계가 될 수 있다는 것을 계측결과로 부터 알게 되었다.

In this paper, the effects of variability of smear zone characteristics induced by installation of prefabricated vertical drains on the preloading design are investigated employing analytical and numerical approaches. Conventional radial consolidation theory has been adopted to conduct analytical parametric studies considering variations of smear zone permeability and extent. FLAC 2D finite difference software has been employed to conduct the numerical simulations. The finite difference analyses have been verified using three case studies including two embankments and a large-scale laboratory consolidometer with a central geosynthetic vertical drain. A comprehensive numerical parametric study is conducted to investigate the influence of smear zone permeability and extent on the model predictions. Furthermore, the construction of the trial embankment is recommended as a reliable solution to estimate accurate smear zone properties and minimise the post construction settlement. A back-calculation procedure is employed to determine the minimum required waiting time after construction of the trial embankment to predict the smear zone characteristics precisely. Results of this study indicate that the accurate smear zone permeability and extent can be back-calculated when 30% degree of consolidation is obtained after construction of the trial embankment.

A 10.4-m high highway embankment retained behind mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls is under construction in the northeastern part of the Indian state of Bihar. The structure is constructed with compacted, micaceous, grey, silty sand, reinforced with polyester (PET) geogrids, and faced with reinforced cement concrete fascia panels. The connections between the fascia panels and the geogrids failed on several occasions during the monsoon seasons of 2007 and 2008 following episodes of heavy rainfall, when the embankment was still under construction. However, during these incidents the MSE embankment itself remained by and large stable and the collateral damages were minimal. The observational data during these incidents presented an opportunity to develop and calibrate a simple procedure for estimating rainfall induced pore water pressure development within MSE embankments constructed with backfill materials that do not allow unimpeded seepage. A simple analytical finite element model was developed for the purpose. The modeling results were found to agree with the observational and meteorological records from the site. These results also indicated that the threshold rainwater infiltration flux needed for the development of pore water pressure within an MSE embankment is a monotonically increasing function of the hydraulic conductivity of backfill. Specifically for the MSE embankment upon which this study is based, the analytical results indicated that the instabilities could have been avoided by having in place a chimney drain immediately behind the fascia panels.

콘크리트궤도는 최근 국내에 활발히 적용되고 있다. 콘크리트궤도는 유지보수 비용 저감을 꽤할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나, 콘크리트궤도 구축 후 토공에서 발생할 수 있는 침하를 허용범위 이내로 관리하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 따라서 궤도 공사 이전에 토공 침하를 측정하고 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 원지반과 성토체에서의 침하 거동을 평가하기 위하여 1개의 원지반 침하판, 1개의 하부노반 침하판, 5개의 지표침하핀을 설치하여 성토 완료 후 1년 이상 동안 계측을 수행하였다. 시험개소의 경우 원지반 침하는 시공 중에 완료된 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 성토체 침하는 성토 완료 후에도 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 침하 속도는 점진적으로 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 침하급증 원인을 분석하여 강우가 침하 급증의 주요원인 중의 하나인 것을 확인하였다.

The stability of embankment on the soft ground has included problems on stabilities of embanked body and soft soil, which related with vertical displacement and lateral movement of the soft ground especially. The judge methods for the potentialities of lateral movement have been used in order to stabilization assessment during and after construction of the embankment. In this study, the judge methods on the improved soft ground suggested, which compared with exist judge methods on lateral movement. It is due to recent trend using embanked structures on the soft ground most of improved.

직포 보강재는 연약지반 성토시 장비주행성, 지지력 및 활동안정성 개선 등을 목적으로 활발하게 적용되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 연약지반 위에 고강도의 직포를 2층 보강하여 철도제방을 성공적으로 구축한 사례를 소개하였다. 한계평형해석에 근거한 비탈면 활동안정분석결과 연약지반 위에 고강도의 직포를 2층 보강하고 흙쌓기를 수행하였을 때 제체의 활동에 대한 안전율은 0.91에서 1.14로 약 25%증가하고, 2개월 이상의 공기단축효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 공기가 촉박하거나, 안전율이 다소 부족한 현장의 경우 고강도 직포보강에 의한 연약지반처리공법은 유용한 것으로 판단된다.
