This paper presents how to analyze heat transfer characteristics of double-layered soils. Thermal response tests were conducted to measure the ground thermal conductivities of Joomunjin sand and double layered soils filled in a steel box of which the size is $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$. Double-layered soils were composed of Joomunjin sand and Kaoline clay. Each thermal conductivity of Joomunjin sand and Kaloine clay was measured by using Heat Flow Meter considering different void ratio. The ground thermal conductivity of double-layered soils was 15% smaller than that of Joomunjin sand.

The application of Terzaghi's theory of consolidation for analysing the settlement of multi-layered soils is not strictly valid because the theory involves an assumption that the soil is homogeneous. The settlement of stratified soils with confined aquifer can be analysed using numerical techniques whereby the governing differential equation is replaced by 2-dimensional finite difference approximations. The problems of discontinuous layer interface are very important in the algorithm and programming for the analysis of multi-layered consolidation using a numerical analysis, finite difference method(F.D.M.). Better results can be obtained by the process for discontinuous layer interface, since it can help consolidation analysis to model the actual ground The purpose of this paper provides an efficient computer algorithm based on numerical analysis using finite difference method(F.D.M) which account for multi-layered soils with confined aquifer to determine the degree of consolidation and excess pore pressures relative to time and positions more realistically.

The prediction of impending collapse of deep tunnel is one of the most difficult problems. Collapse mechanism of deep tunnel in layered soils is derived using a new curved failure mechanism within the framework of upper bound theorem, and effects of seepage forces are considered. Nonlinear failure criterion is adopted in the present analysis, and the possible collapse shape of deep tunnel in the layered soils is discussed in this paper. In the layered soils, the internal energy dissipations along velocity discontinuity are calculated, and the external work rates are produced by weight, seepage forces and supporting pressure. With upper bound theorem of limit analysis, two different curve functions are proposed for the two different soil stratums. The specific shape of collapse surface is discussed, using the proposed curve functions. Effects of nonlinear coefficient, initial cohesion, pore water pressure and unit weight on potential collapse are analyzed. According to the numerical results, with the nonlinear coefficient increase, the shape of collapse block will increase. With initial cohesion of the upper soil increase, the shape of failure block will be flat, and with the lower soil improving, the size of collapsing will be large. Furthermore, the shape of collapsing will decrease with the unit weight decrease.

The stability prediction of shallow buried tunnels is one of the most difficult tasks in civil engineering. The aim of this work is to predict the state of collapse in shallow tunnel in layered soils by employing non-associated flow rule and nonlinear failure criterion within the framework of upper bound theorem. Particular emphasis is first given to consider the effects of dilation on the collapse mechanism of shallow tunnel. Furthermore, the seepage forces and surface settlement are considered to analyze the influence of different dilation coefficients on the collapse shape. Two different curve functions which describe two different soil layers are obtained by virtual work equations under the variational principle. The distinct characteristics of falling blocks up and down the water level are discussed in the present work. According to the numerical results, the potential collapse range decreases with the increase of the dilation coefficient. In layered soils, both of the single layer's dilation coefficient and two layers' dilation coefficients increase, the range of the potential collapse block reduces.

The aim of this paper is to investigate stress analysis of semi-infinite soils consisting of two layers with twin rectangular tunnels under static loads. The region close to the ground surface and tunnel modelled within finite elements. In order to use a more realistic model, the far region is modelled within infinite elements. The material model of the layered soil is considered as elastic and isotropic. In the finite element solution of the problem, two dimensional (2D) plane solid elements are used with sixteen-nodes rectangular finite and eight-nodes infinite shapes. Finite and infinite elements are ordered to be suitable for the tunnel and the soils. The governing equations of the problem are obtained by using the virtual work principle. In the numerical process, the five-point Gauss rule is used for the calculation of the integrations. In order to validate using methods, comparison studies are performed. In the numerical results, the stress distributions of the two layered soils containing twin rectangular tunnels presented. In the presented results, effects of the location of the tunnels on the stress distributions along soil depth are obtained and discussed in detail. The obtained results show that the locations of the tunnels are very effective on the stress distribution on the soils.

In general, the term soft ground includes clayey soils, which have large compressibility and small shear resistance due to the external load. All process of consolidation in compressible soils can be explained in terms of a transfer of load from an incompressible pore-water to a compressible soil structure. Therefore, one of the most important subjects about the characteristics of the time-dependent consolidation of the clay foundation by the change of load may be the presumption of the final settlement caused by consolidation and the degree of consolidation according to the time. The problems of discontinuous layer interface are very important in the algorithm and programming for the analysis of multi-layered soils using a numerical analysis, finite difference method. Better results can be obtained by the Process for discontinuous layer interface, since it can help consolidation analysis to model the actual ground. The purpose of this paper Provides an efficient computer algorithm based on numerical analysis using finite difference method(F.D.M.) which account for multi-layered soils to determine the degree of consolidation and excess pore pressures relative to time and positions more realistically.

본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 설치된 수직갱에 작용하는 토압에 대한 기존 제안식을 수정하였다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 깊이에 관계없이 동일한 반경방향 변위를 일으킬 수 있는 실내 모형시험장치를 개발하였으며, 벽면마찰각과 상대 밀도를 변수로 시험하였다. 실내 모형시험 결과는 수정식에서 접선방향 토압계수(수직응력에 대한 접선방향 응력 비)인 $\lambda$값을 $\lambda=1-sin\phi$와$\lambda=1$을 사용하였을 경우의 토압 사이에 분포하였다. 다층지반에 설치된 원형수직갱 배면지반의 파괴면을 가정하고 수정식을 적용하여 다층지반에 설치된 원형수직갱에 작용하는 토압 산정방법을 제안하였다. 시공현장의 3개의 수직갱으로부터 계측 데이터를 획득하였으며 이를 토압으로 환산하여 제안된 방법을 검증하였다. 계측 데이터로부터 환산된 대부분의 환산 토압은 제안된 방법의 토압과 잘 일치하였다.

원형수직터널에서 3차원적인 아칭효과를 고려한 토압산정을 위해 여러 연구가 수행되었고 실내시험 및 수치해석을 통해 이를 검증하였으나, 다층지반과 c-${\phi}$지반에서의 적용이 어려웠다. 본연구에서는 c-${\phi}$지반에서의 토압 산정을 위해 c-${\phi}$지반에서 적용 가능한 토압계수 산정식을 구하였으며, 기존 토압식을 수정 제안하였다. 점착력이 토압에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 지반을 가정하여 각 경우별로 토압을 산정하여 비교하였으며, 다층지반에서 파괴면을 가정하는 방법으로 토압을 구하였다. 이 논문은 두 개의 연속된 논문(Companion paper)의 첫 번째로서 모델개발을 위한 이론전개를 다루고 있으며, 대형 모형실험에 의한 실증은 두 번째 논문에서 다룰 것이다.

Studies of earthquakes over the last 50 years and the examination of dynamic soil behavior reveal that soil behavior is highly nonlinear and hysteretic even at small strains. Nonlinear behavior of soils during a seismic event has a predominant role in current site response analysis approaches. Common approaches to ground response analysis include linear, equivalent linear and nonlinear methods. These methods of ground response analysis may also be categorized into time domain and frequency domain concepts. Simplicity in developing analytical relations and accuracy in considering soils' dynamic properties dependency to loading frequency are benefits of frequency domain analysis. On the other hand, nonlinear methods are complicated and time consuming mainly because of their step by step integrations in time intervals. In part Ι of this paper, governing equations for seismic response analysis of surcharged and layered soils were developed using fundamental of wave propagation theory based on transfer function and boundary conditions. In this part, nonlinear seismic ground response is analyzed using extended HFTD method. The extended HFTD method benefits Newton-Raphson procedure which applies regular iterations and follows soils' fundamental stress-strain curve until convergence is achieved. The nonlinear HFTD approach developed here are applied to some examples presented in this part of the paper. Case studies are carried in which effects of some influencing parameters on the response are investigated. Results show that the current approach is sufficiently accurate, efficient, and fast converging. Discussions on the results obtained are presented throughout this part of the paper.

점토층 사이에 존재하는 모래 협재층은 연약지반 거동에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 협재층은 주로 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$)에서 측정된 지반의 저항력과 간극수압 값을 이용하여 평가하고 있지만, 높은 해상도를 위하여 소형 콘이 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 연약지반에 얇게 분포된 협재층을 선단저항력, 주면마찰력 그리고 전기비저항을 이용하여 평가할 수 있는 전기비저항 콘(Cone Resistivity Penetrometer, CRP)을 개발하고 적용하는 것이다. CRP는 각각 실내실험(단면적: $0.78cm^2$, 직경: 1.0cm)과 현장실험(단면적: $1.76cm^2$, 직경: 1.5cm)에 활용되도록 제작하였으며, 길이는 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$, 직경: 3.57cm)의 단면적과 마찰부의 면적비를 고려하여 제작하였다. 실내실험은 모래와 점토가 반복적으로 조성된 다층의 층상탐지 셀을 사용하여 각 지층의 경계면을 탐사하였으며, 현장실험은 광양지역에서 심도 6m부터 15m까지 관입실험을 수행하였다. CRP는 실내실험에서 측정된 선단저항력과 전기비저항으로 조성된 시료의 각 지층 경계면을 뚜렷하게 평가하였으며, 현장실험에서는 3개의 협재층을 탐지하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 CRP는 실내 및 현장결과 적용성이 뛰어나 추후 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.
