본 연구는 기존 모형말뚝에 인접하여 터널을 굴착하는 경우 발생하는 모형말뚝에 대한 거동연구로 이를 규명하기 위해 모형실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과, 모형터널의 굴착 정도인 지반손실에 따라 수직하중을 받고 있던 모형 말뚝에 수직 및 수평변위가 동시에 발생하였으며, 이로 인해 모형말뚝이 기울어지는 현상이 발생하였다. 이러한 모형말뚝의 기울기 정도는 터널굴착으로 인한 지반손실, 터널중심으로부터 말뚝 선단부까지의 이격거리와 말뚝 선단부의 지지층 조건에 따라 크게 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 도심지 터널굴착을 계획함에 있어 인접한 기존 말뚝의 위치에 따른 지반거동뿐만 아니라 말뚝 자체의 거동도 반드시 분석하여 상부구조물의 손상을 최소화해야 한다.

본 논문에서는 사질토 지반에 시공되는 고강도 지오그리드 보강 쇄석말뚝(Geosynthetic-Reinforced Stone Column, GRSC)의 다양한 영향인자 검토를 통한 지지력 거동특성을 다루었다. 본 연구는 GRSC의 국내 적용을 위한 사전연구로서 대형 구조물의 기초지지 말뚝으로 적용시를 대상으로 2차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 GRSC와 쇄석말뚝(Stone Column, SC)의 비교를 통해 지오그리드 보강이 지지력 증가에 현저히 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지반강도와 쇄석기둥 직경, 지오그리드 강성에 대해 지지력은 증가하는 것으로 나타난 반면, 감쌈길이에 대해서는 3D(D=쇄석기둥 직경)이상의 감쌈에 대해 지지력이 수렴하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GRSC 적용시 효율적인 지오그리드 보강의 최적조건을 제안하였다.

The practical usage of underground space and demand for vehicular tunnels necessitate the construction of non-circular wide rectangular tunnels. However, constructing large tunnels in soft clayey soil conditions with no ground improvement can lead to excessive ground deformations and collapse. In recent years, in situ ground improvement techniques such as jet grouting and deep cement mixing are often utilized to perform cement-stabilisation around the tunnel boundary to prevent large deformations and failure. This paper discusses the stability characteristics and failure behaviour of a wide rectangular tunnel in cement-treated soft clays. First, the plane strain finite element model is developed and validated with the results of centrifuge model tests available in the past literature. The critical tunnel support pressures computed from the numerical study are found to be in good agreement with those of centrifuge model tests. The influence of varying strength and thickness of improved soil surround, and cover depth are studied on the stability and failure modes of a rectangular tunnel. It is observed that the failure behaviour of the tunnel in improved soil surround depends on the ratio of the strength of improved soil surround to the strength of surrounding soil, i.e., q_ui/q_us, rather than just q_ui. For low q_ui/q_us ratios,the stability increases with the cover; however, for the high strength improved soil surrounds with q_ui >> q_us, the stability decreases with the cover. The failure chart, modified stability equation, and stability chart are also proposed as preliminary design guidelines for constructing rectangular tunnels in the improved soil surrounded by soft clays.

Artificial ground freezing methods have been applied to geotechnical construction projects for stabilizing earth materials and controlling water seepage into the ground. However, this can result in frost heaving and causes the same engineering problems as encountered with the natural freezing of soil. In natural freezing, the ground freezes from the surface downward. When artificial ground freezing is applied at a deep location, however, freezing is limited locally. The soil condition differs between them as follows: Natural freezing - unsaturated and without overburden pressure. Artificial freezing -- saturated and under overburden pressure. The authors investigated the practical application of artificial ground freezing and examined the frost behaviour of a saturated soil under overburden pressure. This paper presents the results obtained from experiments concerning frost heaving and discusses frost heaving at the freezing site.

The aerodynamic behaviour of a CRH high-speed train under three infrastructure scenarios (flat ground, embankment, and viaduct) in the presence of a crosswind was simulated using a 1/8th scaled train model with three cars and the IDDES framework. The time-averaged and instantaneous flow field around the model were examined. The employed numerical algorithm was verified through a wind tunnel test, and the grid and timestep resolution analyses were conducted to ensure the reliability of the data. It was noted that the flow around the rail line was different under different infrastructure scenarios, especially in the case of the embankment, which degraded the aerodynamic performance of the train under the crosswind. The flow around the train on the flat ground and viaduct was different, although the aerodynamic performance of the train was similar in both cases. Moreover, the viaduct accidents were noted to have the most critical consequences, thereby requiring the most attention. The aerodynamic performance of the train on the windward track of the embankment under the crosswind was worse than that of the train on the leeward track. But for the other two infrastructure scenarios, the aerodynamic performance of the train on the windward track is relatively dangerous, which is mainly caused by the head car. These observations suggest that the aerodynamic behaviour of the train on an embankment under a crosswind must be carefully considered and that certain wind protection measures must be adopted around rail lines in windy areas.

본 연구에서는 기초판으로 연결된 군말뚝 형태의 기초 하부를 터널이 근접 통과할 경우 이로 인해 발생하는 말뚝의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이때 터널과 말뚝기초 사이의 지반보강을 조건별로 고려하여 수치해석을 수행함으로써 결과를 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널 굴착으로 발생하는 말뚝의 침하, 축력, 전단응력 및 상대변위를 고찰하였으며, 추가적으로 IoT 플랫폼 예비 설계 가이드라인을 제시하였다. 지반보강을 고려하지 않으며 터널로부터 이격거리가 가장 가까운 말뚝은 지반보강을 가장 크게 고려하고 터널로부터 이격거리가 가장 멀리 존재한 말뚝에 비해 말뚝두부의 침하가 약 70% 크게 발생하였다. 또한, 말뚝 품질관리 요소 데이터는 수집 및 정제과정을 통해 다양한 형태의 API (Application Programming Interface)로 제공되었으며, 각 데이터 플로우 프로세스를 정의하여 데이터가 생성되는 시점에 따라 적합한 API를 제공하는 것이 중요한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 기초판으로 연결된 군말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자를 보강조건에 따라 심도 있게 고찰하고, 말뚝의 품질관리 IoT 플랫폼을 제시하였다.

Tunnelling in water bearing soils influences the ground water regime. It has been indicated in the literature that the existence of ground water above a tunnel influences tunnel stability and the settlement profile. Only limited research, however, has been done on ground water movements around tunnels and their influence on tunnel performance. Time dependent soil behaviour can be caused by the changes of pore water pressure and/or the viscous properties of soil(creep) under the stress change resulting from the advance of the tunnel face. De Moor(1989) demonstrated that the time dependent deformations due to tunnelling are mainly the results of pore pressure dissipation and should be interpreted in terms of effective stress changes. Drainage into tunnels is governed by the permeability of the soil, the length of the drainage path and the hydraulic boundary conditions. The potential effect of lime dependent settlement in a shallow tunnel is likely to occur rapidly due to the short drainage path and possibly high coefficient of consolidation. Existing 2D modelling methods are not applicable to these tunnelling problems, as it is difficult to define empirical parameters. In this paper the time-based 2D modelling method is adopted to account for the three dimensional effect and time dependent behaviour during tunnel construction. The effect of coupling between the unloading procedure and consolidation during excavation is profoundly investigated with the method. It is pointed out that realistic modelling can be achieved by defining a proper permeability at the excavation boundary and prescribing appropriate time for excavation Some guidelines for the numerical modelling of drained and undrained excavation has been suggested using characteristic time factor. It is highlighted that certain range of the factor shows combined effect between the unloading procedure due to excavation and consolidation during construction.

The effect of shear coupled with axial force variation on the inelastic seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete bridge piers is investigated in this paper. For this purpose, a hysteretic axial-shear interaction model was developed and implemented in a nonlinear finite element analysis program. Thus, flexure-shear-axial interaction is simulated under variable amplitude reversed actions. Comparative studies for shear-dominated reinforced concrete columns indicated that a conventional FE model based on flexure-axial interaction only gave wholly inadequate results and was therefore incapable of predicting the behaviour of such members. Analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge damaged during the Northridge (California 1994) earthquake demonstrated the importance of shear modelling. The contribution of shear deformation to total displacement was considerable, leading to increased ductility demand. Moreover, the effect of shear with axial force variation can significantly affect strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of reinforced concrete members. It is concluded that flexure-shear-axial interaction should be taken into account in assessing the behaviour of reinforced concrete bridge columns, especially in the presence of high vertical ground motion.

Prefabricated Modular Buildings are increasingly becoming popular in the construction industry as a method to achieve financially economical buildings in a very short construction time. This increasing demand for modular construction has expanded into multi-storey applications where the effect of lateral loads such as seismic loads becomes critical. However, there is a lack of detailed scientific research that has explored the behaviour of modular buildings and their connection systems against seismic loads. This paper will therefore present the nonlinear time history analysis of a multi-storey modular building against several ground motion records. The critical elements that need special attention in designing a modular building in similar seismic conditions is discussed with a deeper explanation of the behaviour of the overall system.
