This paper is experimental and numerical research about the sliding behavior of cantilever retaining walls resisting surcharge loads. In experimental research, centrifuge model tests at the lg and 40 g-level were performed by changing the location of model footing and its width. Bearing capacity of model footing and characteristics of load-settlement and load-lateral displacement of retaining wall were investigated. Test results of bearing capacity were compared with modified jarquio method, based on the limit equilibrium method with elasticity theory. For the numerical analysis, the commericially available program of FLAC was used by implementing the hyperbolic constitutive relationships to compare with test result about load-settlement and load-displacement of retaining wall, bearing capacity of strip footing.

Coupled finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of degree of saturation on the vertical displacements and pore water pressures simultaneously by developing a FORTRAN90 code. The finite element formulation adopted in the present study is based upon Biot's consolidation theory to include partially saturated soils. Numerical methods are applied to a two-dimensional plane strain strip footing (flexible) problem and the effect of variable degree of saturation on the response of excess pore water pressure dissipation and settlement of the footing is studied. The immediate settlement in the case of partly saturated soils is larger than that of a fully saturated soil, the reason being the presence of pore air in partially saturated soils. On the other hand, the excess pore water pressure for partially saturated soil are smaller than those for fully saturated soil.

This paper presents an investigation on bearing capacity, load-settlement behavior and safety factor of rock-soil slopes reinforced using geogrid-box method (GBM). To this end, small-scale laboratory studies were carried out to study the load-settlement response of a circular footing resting on unreinforced and reinforced rock-soil slopes. Several parameters including unit weight of rock-soil materials (loose- and dense-packing modes), slope height, location of footing relative to the slope crest, and geogrid tensile strength were studied. A series of finite element analysis were conducted using ABAQUS software to predict the bearing capacity behavior of slopes. Limit equilibrium and finite element analysis were also performed using commercially available software SLIDE and ABAQUS, respectively to calculate the safety factor. It was found that stabilization of rock-soil slopes using GBM significantly improves the bearing capacity and settlement behavior of slopes. It was established that, the displacement contours in the dense-packing mode distribute in a broader and deeper area as compared with the loose-packing mode, which results in higher ultimate bearing load. Moreover, it was found that in the loose-packing mode an increase in the vertical pressure load is accompanied with an increase in the soil settlement, while in the dense-packing mode the load-settlement curves show a pronounced peak. Comparison of bearing capacity ratios for the dense- and loose-packing modes demonstrated that the maximum benefit of GBM is achieved for rock-soil slopes in loose-packing mode. It was also found that by increasing the slope height, both the initial stiffness and the bearing load decreases. The results indicated a significant increase in the ultimate bearing load as the distance of the footing to the slope crest increases. For all the cases, a good agreement between the laboratory and numerical results was observed.

The general design practice for piled footings is based on the assumption that the piles are free-standing, and that all the external loads are carried by the piles, with any contribution of the footing being ignored. This approach is not reasonable, because the footing itself is actually in direct contact with the soil, and thus carries a significant fraction of the loads. In the case of not considering the bearing capacity of footing, the bearing capacity of group piles can be evaluated conservatively in the designing the group piles. There are a number of reasons why the idea of piled raft design with considering the capacity of footing has not become widely used. One of the reasons is the lack of reliable calculation methods for estimating the behavior of piled raft. In this study the bearing capacity, settlement, load distribution, etc. of piled raft footing are studied.

This paper is an experimental study of investigating the reinforcing effect and the behavior of cohesionless slope installed with reticulated root pils. Reduced scale model tests with plane strain conditions were performed to study the behavior of the strip footing located on the surface of cohesionless slopes reinforced with root piles. Model tests were carried out with Jumunjin Standard Sand of 45% relative density prepared by raining method to have an uniform slope foundation during tests. Slope of model foundation was 1 : 1.5 and a rigid model slop. Parametric model tests were performed with changing location of model footing, arrangements of root piles and angles of pile installation. On the other hands, the technique with camera shooting was used to monitor sliding surface formed with discontinuty of dyed sand prepared during formation o foudation. From test results, parameters affecting the behavior of model footing were analyzed qualitatively to evaluate their effects on the characteristic of load - settlement, ultimate bearing capacity of model footing and failure mechanism based on the formation of failure surface.

기초의 근입비가 보상기초의 극한지지력과 침하량에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에 의한 극한지지력비는 이론식에 의한 극한지지력비보다 컸으며 전체적으로 극한지지력비가 근입비에 비례하는 결과를 보였으나 정사각형기초에 대한 수치해석결과만 극한지지력비가 근입비에 따라 급격하게 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 모래지반에 놓인 띠기초의 경우 근입비에 따른 극한지지력비는 수치해석과 Meyerhof 방법에 의한 경우가 비슷하였으며 대체로 근입비의 제곱에 가까운 값을 나타내었으며 점토지반에 놓인 띠기초의 경우 이론식에 의할 경우 극한지지력비는 근입비의 영향을 크게 받지 않았고 수치해석결과에 따르면 근입비를 약간 상회하는 값들을 보였다. 수치해석결과에 따르면 근입비에 따른 정사각형기초의 극한지지력비가 띠기초의 그것에 비하여 크게 계산되었다. 수치해석결과를 통해 볼 때 전체적으로 근입비가 1인 경우 침하량비는 0.4 정도의 값을 보이다가 근입비가 커짐에 따라 침하량비가 감소하는 양상을 보였으며 느슨한 모래의 경우 상대적으로 침하량비가 가장 작았다.

In this study, the bearing capacity behavior of strip footing located above a continuous cavity in sand was investigated experimentally. The model footing test was performed in a model box made by using raining method in sand. The model footing test results were compared with those obtained from theoretically proposed equations. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a critical region under the footing. For strip footing, there exists a critical depth below which the presence of the cavity has negligible influence on the footing performance. Only when the cavity is located within this region will the footing performance be significantly affected by the presence of the cavity. The size of the critical region depends on several factors such as footing shape, soil property, cavity size and cavity shape. When the cavity is located within the critical region, the bearing capacity of the footing varies with various factors, such as the size and location of the cavity and the depth of foundation. Based on the experimental study, the following conclusions were induced. 1. The ultimate bearing capacity due to the eccentricity of a underground cavity increases at the rate of the small rather than that due to the depth of a underground cavity. This indicates that the bearing capacity of a strip footing is influenced on the depth rather than the eccentricity of a underground cavity. 2. The critical $depth(D/B)_{cr}$, by underground cavity in sand soil ground that is made by the relative density($D_r$)=55%, 65%, 75%, approaches a range of about 8~10 in case of W/B=1, and about 11~13 in case of W/B=2. 3. In case of the relative density($D_r$) 75%, the most outstanding differential settlement trend is shown in the depth of 4~8cm regardless of the size of cavity, namely, when the value of D/B is 1~2. Therefore, a underground cavity influences on not only the decrease of the bearing capacity but also the differential settlement of a strip footing.

In this study, bearing capacities and settlement profiles of six irregularly shaped footings located on sand have been experimentally and analytically investigated under the effect of axial loading. The main variable considered in the study was the geometry of the footings. The axial loads were applied from the center of gravities of the test specimens. Consequently, the effect of footing shape on the variation of the bearing capacities and settlement profiles have been investigated in this paper. The three dimensional finite element analyses of the test specimens were conducted using the PLAXIS 3D software. The finite element model results are in acceptable agreement with the results obtained using experimental investigation. In addition, the usability of the finite element technique by design engineers to determine the bearing capacities and settlement profiles of irregularly shaped footings was investigated. From the results of the study, it was observed that the geometric properties of the footings significantly influenced the variation of the bearing capacities and settlement profiles.

본 연구에서는 제지회를 성토재로 활용할 경우 제지회의 지지력 특성을 파악하기 위하여 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 모형실험은 기초폭과 중력수준을 변화시켜 실시하였으며, 하중재하에 따른 침하와 수직토압을 측정하였다. 모형실험결과는 지지력 이론 및 유한차분 해석프로그램인 FLAC을 이용한 수치해석 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 하중-침하특성은 침하비 s/B가 약 25~30%에서 변곡점을 나타내는 국부전단파괴 양상을 보이며, g-level과 기초폭이 증가할수록 하중강도가 증가하고 있다. 실험에서 측정된 극한지지력은 Terzaghi 이론에 의한 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 기초 중심에서 이격거리가 증가할수록 수직토압이 크게 감소하였으며, E/B가 7이상에서는 하중재하에 따른 응력증가가 거의 발생하지 않았다. 하중재하에 의한 수직변위는 기초 직하부에서 가장 크며, 깊이 4cm 이상, 이격거리 E/B=5.0 이상에서는 거의 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 수치해석과 현장계측을 연계하여 압밀과 재하폭의 영향을 고려한 연약지반 상 팽이말뚝기초의 최적 침하량을 평가하여 기존의 침하량 산정법을 수정한산정 기법을 제안하였다. 팽이기초공법이 적용되는 연약지반(점성토, 사질토)을 선정하고, 3차원 유한요소해석을 통해 현재 팽이기초공법에서 고려치 못하는 압밀과 재하폭의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, $7\times7$ 이상의 팽이배열을 가지는 경우, 재하폭의 증가에 따라 영향깊이가 더 이상 증가하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이 때, 팽이말뚝 1개의 폭 BT(=0.5m)에서, 최대 영향깊이는 점성토지반의 경우에 28BT 정도를 보였으며, 사질토지반은 최대 $18B_T$로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 현재 재하폭과 압밀의 영향을 고려하지 못하는 팽이기초 침하량 산정식은 실제 계측 침하량과 비교하여 약 2배 이상 과다하게 산정하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 연약 단일지반에 따른 bilinear 형태의 영향깊이 산정식과 하중분산각을 제안하였고, 이를 통해 산정된 침하량은 실제 침하량과 비교적 유사하게 나타나 국내 현장조건을 적절히 반영할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
