In order to analysis the reason of sliding failure in embankment slope under construction in soft soil area, a model section located in Gimhae Region in Gyeongsangnam-Do, where the sliding failure had been occurred during embankment works in soft soil area, had been selected. This area had been firstly treated with the Pack Drain Method, and additional embankment works of 9.7 meters out of total 14 meters in thickness had been under construction. The results of analysis showed that the reason of sliding failure were overspeed in embankment construction and the overestimation of design factors in calculating strength of each layer of embankment and poor management and inaccuracy reading of measurement devices.

This paper investigates the time dependent behaviour of Haarajoki test embankment on soft structured clay deposit. Half of the embankment is constructed on an area improved with prefabricated vertical drains, while the other half is constructed on the natural deposit without any ground improvement. To analyse the PVD-improved subsoil, axisymmetric vertical drains were converted into equivalent plane strain conditions using three different approaches. The construction and consolidation of the embankment are analysed with the finite element method using a recently developed anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft clays. The constitutive model, namely ACM-S accounts for combined effects of plastic anisotropy, interparticle bonding and degradation of bonds and creep. For comparison, the problem is also analysed with isotropic Soft Soil Creep and Modified Cam Clay models. The results of the numerical analyses are compared with the field measurements. The results show that neglecting effects of anisotropy, destructuration and creep may lead to inaccurate predictions of soft clay response. Additionally, the numerical results show that the matching methods accurately predict the consolidation behaviour of the embankment on PVD improved soft clays and provide a useful tool for engineering practice.

This study were performed to investigated the behavior of excessive pore water pressure with embankment of soft clay. The dissipation behavior of excessive pore water pressure in the improved and non-improved area was used to compare and alyze with lateral displacement , and to investigated the applicability of the methods for stability evaluatio of soft clay. The behavior of excess pore water pressure could be used to the fundamental data for stability evaluation, and the evaluation of the stability of embankment was recommended to use the indlination of curve rather than critical line.

This paper investigates the development of failure surfaces induced by an embankment on soft marine clay deposits and the characteristics of such surfaces through numerical simulations and its comparative study with monitoring results. It is well known that the factor of safety of embankment slopes is closely related to the vertical loading, including the height of the embankment. That is, an increase in the embankment height reduces the factor of safety. However, few studies have examined the relationship between the lateral movement of soft soil beneath the embankment and the factor of safety. In addition, no study has investigated the distribution of the pore pressure coefficient B value along the failure surface. This paper conducts a continuum analysis using finite difference methods to characterize the development of failure surfaces during embankment construction on soft marine clay deposits. The results of the continuum analysis for failure surfaces, stress, displacement, and the factor of safety can be used for the management of embankment construction. In failure mechanism, it has been validated that a large shear displacement causes change of stress and pore pressure along the failure surface. In addition, the pore pressure coefficient B value decreases along the failure surface as the embankment height increases. This means that the rate of change in stress is higher than that in pore pressure.

Since 1970s, though many effective construction methods have been established to solve soft ground problems which had occurred in the off shore land reclamation and on shore highway construction, lateral movement of structure on soft ground is still a big problem to engineers. In this study an applicability of criteria for determining the lateral movement of the structure in soft ground is examined and most measured data is obtained from 140 bridge abutments in highway construction sites. Characteristics and effectiveness of existing methods that used for deciding amount of lateral movements of abutment are analyzed using the obtained data. From the analysis, a proper method to prevent lateral movement is proposed. This method is confirmed on several case histories which were constructed on marine clay.

측방유동의 발생이 가능한 해안연약지반에 성토를 시행하면 지표면의 하부에는 수평변위가 발생한다. 이러한 수평변위는 인접지반에 변형을 발생하여 인접 지하에 매설된 각종 기반시설에 영향을 미칠수 있다. 수평변위의 억지대책으로 성토지지말뚝과 억지말뚝을 적용하였고, 억지대책의 효과분석을 위해 무보강지반과 보강지반으로 구분하여 수치해석을 시행하였다. 수치해석 결과는 억지말뚝 보강시가 무보강시보다 1.9배의 효과가 있었다. 성토지지말뚝의 보강은 무보강시보다 2.6배의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 두 억지대책중 억지말뚝 보강보다 성토지지말뚝 보강이 1.3~1.6배의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

연직배수공법이 적용된 연약지반 상 성토 시 발생할 수 있는 지반의 측방유동에 대한 평가기법을 마련하기 위하여, 세 개 현장의 56개 지점에서 수행한 현장계측 자료를 분석하였다. 계측결과 분석을 통해 지반의 측방유동 가능성에 대한 평가 방안이 마련되었다. 무처리 연약지반에 대하여 Marche & Chapuis(1974)가 제안한 무차원계수 R을 연직배수 공법으로 개량된 연약지반에 적용하기 위해서는 성토체 선단부 직하의 최대지중수평변위를 활용하는 것이 바람직하고, 연약지반 두께와 성토폭의 비(H/B)가 $0.05 {\sim}1.15$인 경우, 사면안전율이 $1.2{\sim}1.4$이면 지반의 측방변위량이 급격히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 최대로 성토할 수 있는 높이와 비배수전단강도의 관계를 나타낸 Tschebotarioff(1973)의 방법을 이용하면, 연약지반의 측방유동 가능성을 간편하게 평가할 수 있다.

연직배수공법이 적용된 연약지반의 측방유동 특성을 조사하기 위해 우리나라 해안지역에서 계측관리가 실시된 13개 연약지반 현장의 자료를 수집하여 조사 분석을 실시하였다. 먼저 성토규모가 연약지반의 측방유동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연약층의 두께와 상대적 도로성토규모가 클수록 연약지반 속의 수평변위는 크게 발생하였다. 특히 연약지반이 두꺼우면 도로성토저면폭에 대한 연약층의 두께의 비인 상대적 성토규모도 자연 커지므로 수평변위량은 크게 발생하였다. 또한 도로성토속도가 빠르면 연약지반의 수평변위량이 크게 발생하였다. 그 밖에도 연약지반의 두께와 비배수전단강도, 지반계수 및 안정수는 연약지반의 측방유동에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 나타났다. 즉 연약지반의 비배수전단강도와 지반계수가 작을수록 그리고 안정수가 클수록 연약지반의 최대수평변위량은 크게 발생하였다. 도로성토로 인하여 연약지반 속에 전단변형이 발생되지 않는 안전한 상태에서는 안정수가 3이하가 되고 지지 안전율이 1.7이상이 되었다. 그러나 연약지반 속에 전단파괴가 발생되는 불안전한 상태에서는 안정수가 5.14이상이 되고 지지안전율이 1.0이하가 되었다. 도로성토로 인하여 연약지반 속에 전단변형이 발생하는지 여부를 판단할 수 있는 허용최대수평변위량의 기준은 50mm로 정하는 것이 바람직하며 연약지반에 전단파괴가 발생됨이 없이 도로성토를 실시할 수 있는 연약지반의 수평변위량 기준은 100mm로 정하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

The problems associated with constructing high-speed concrete track embankments over soft compressible soil has lead to the development and/or extensive use of many of the ground improvement techniques used today. Drains, surcharge loading, and geosynthetic reinforcement, have all been used to solve the settlement and embankment stability issues associated with construction on soft soils. However, when time constraints are critical to the success of the project, owners have resorted to another innovative approach. Especially, the design criteria of residual settlement is limited as 30mm for concrete track embankment, it is very difficult to satisfy this standard using the former construction method. Pile net method consist of vertical columns that are designed to transfer the load of the embankment through the soft compressible soil layer to a firm foundation and one or more layers of geosynthetic reinforcement placed between the top of the columns and the bottom of the embankment. This paper will present the guidelines for the design of pile net method to supported embankments. These guidelines were developed based on a review of current design methodologies and a parametric study of design variables using numerical modeling.

The generally known vertical drain methods for improvement of soft ground are Sand Drain, Sand Compaction Pile, Plastic Drain Board, and Pack Drain. Recently, Plastic Drain Board method application in soft ground is widely used. In this case study, it is compared with each other vertical drain methods from the results of monitorning and test embankment. The results of the analysis and the study show that Plastic Drain Board method is relatively acceptable as vertical drain method.
