This study was intended to evaluate the improved strength of the ground by applying the bio grouting method to a loose sandy ground. The injection material was prepared in the form of cement-like powder, with the bio injection material produced by microbial reactions. The grouting test was conducted under the conditions similar to the field where the bio injection material can be applied. In addition, the injection materials (cement and sodium silicate No. 3) used for Labile Waterglass (LW) method and the conventional grouting methodwere prepared through a two-solution one-step process. The injection into the specimens was done at a pressure of 150 kPa and then, with a bender element, their moduliof elasticity were measured on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th curingdays to analyze their strengths according to the duration of curing. It was confirmed that in all injection materials the moduli of elasticity increased over time. In particular, when 30% of the bio injection material was added to 100% cement, the modulus of elasticity tended to increase by about 15%. This confirmed that the applicability became higher when the bio injection material was used in place of the conventional sodium silicate.

Crushed Stone Pile(CSP) is one of the ground improvement methods available to loose sand and clayey ground by forming compacted CSP in the weak soil layer. The effects of this method are enhancement of ground bearing capacity, reduction of settlement and prevention of lateral ground movement in cohesive layer, reduction of liquefaction potential in sandy ground. This study performs model tests in 1.0m${\times}$1.0m${\times}$1.0m and 1.5m${\times}$1.5m${\times}$l.2m model tank to observe bearing capacity of CSP treated ground. The area replacement ratio of CSP composite ground varies 20%, 30% and 40% with square grid pattern. After the composite ground was consolidated under pressure of 0.5kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 1.0kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, load tests were carried out. The results show that ultimate bearing capacity increases with area replacement ratio and the preconsolidation pressure of ground.

In this study, a model experiment and field experiment was conducted to introduce the optimal tensile force when constructing a non-open cut tunnel according to the ground conditions of sandy soil. CMR (Concrete Modular Roof) method is economical because of the high precision and excellent durability, and corrosion resistance, and the inserted parts can be used as the main structure of a tunnel. In addition the CMR method has a stable advantage in interconnection because the concrete beam is press-fitted compared to the NTR (New Tubular Roof) method, and the need for quality control can be minimized. The ground conditions were corrected by adjusting the relative density of sandy soil during the construction of non-open cut tunnels, and after introducing various tensile forces, the surface settlement according to excavation was measured, and the optimal tensile force was derived. As a result of the experiment, the amount of settlement according to the relative density was found to be minor. Furthermore, analysis of each tensile force based on loose ground conditions resulted in an average decrease of approximately 22% in maximum settlement when the force was increased by 0.8 kN per segment. Considering these results, it is indicated that more than 2.0 kN tensile force per segment is recommended for settlement of the upper ground.

The CGS method is non-discharge replacement method improving ground stiffness by the effect of static compaction with injecting very low slump mortar into ground, and is applied for increasing bearing capacity and filling ground cavity by lifting or restoring differential settled structures and preventing differential settlement. This paper suggests design of ground improvement and construction case history for civil engineering structures by CGS method. This method can be used for reinforcing soft ground and liquefaction of loose sandy soil. This method was used in SongDo area in Incheon Economic Free Zone due to its low vibration of ground while it can improve the soft soil where underground structures(subway and box culvert) are already existed.

Sand Compaction Pile (SCP) method, which uses sand material, is frequently used in Korea. However, the use of sand for SCP faces environmental and economical problems with the shortage of its resources. Therefore, it is necessary to substitute other materials for compaction piles. One of the alternatives is using gravel in lieu of sand. Granular Pile, constituted with sand and crushed-stone, is one of the methods to improve soft clay and loose sandy ground. In this study, modeled pile load tests are performed in test cell. The observations are made on the consolidation and the variation of water table of three different grounds, original, sand pile installed, and granular pile installed ground. In addition, engineering characteristics such as bearing capacity, settlement and drainage are investigated. The test results show that Gravel Compaction Pile (GCP) is more efficient for increasing bearing capacity and reducing settlement than SCP and had similar pore water pressure dissipation to sand. Therefore, the results show that GCP can be a good substitution for SCP.

In general, two methods have been used to predict settlement of soft ground. One method is Terzaghi's one dimensional consolidation theory which gives time-settlement relationship using the standard consolidation test results. The other is forecasting method of ground settlement to be occured in the future using in-situ monitoring data. The above both methods have some defects in application manner or in itself especially in very deep and soft clayey ground. In view of the lessons and experiences of soft ground improvement projects, several techniques were proposed for more accurate theorectical calculation of consolidation settlement as follows ; ① Subdivision of soft ground, ② Consideration of secondary compression, ③ Using the modified compression index, etc. And also, revised hyperbolic fitting method was suggested to minimize the error of predicted future settlement. In addition, revised De-Beer equation of immediate settlement of loose sandy soil was proposed to overcome the tendency to show too small settlement calculation results by original De-Deer equation. And also, considering the various effects of settlement delay in the improved ground by vertical drains, time-settlement caculation equation(Onoue method) was revised to match the tendency of settlement delay by using the characteristics of discharge capacity decreases of vertical drain with time elapse by the pattern of hyperbolic equation.

지반보강 그라우팅은 대상지반의 공학적 특성 및 사용 목적에 따라 주입재 종류, 주입압력, 주입량 등을 적절히 선택해야 효율적이고 경제성 있는 시공이 될 수 있다. 특히, 압력 그라우팅 공법을 견고한 암반층이 아닌 일반 토사층에 적용시 압력이 높은 경우 수압파쇄에 의한 주입재 이탈 등의 문제가 발생하기 쉬우므로 현장조건에 알맞는 주입압력을 미리 설정하는 것이 필요하다. 이 연구는 느슨 내지 중밀 정도의 쇄석과 모래를 이용한 실험실 모형시험을 통하여 적정 주입압과 주입방법을 밝히기 위해 수행되었다. 최적 주입압, 주입량 그리고 주입시간을 조사하기 위해 실험과정에서 주입조건을 변화시켰다. 시험결과로부터 쇄석 및 모래지반에서 압력그라우팅의 최적 주입압은3~4kg/$cm^2$ 임을 알 수 있었다.

Liquefaction phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which excess pore water pressure occurs when a dynamic load such as an earthquake is rapidly applied to a loose sandy soil ground where the ground is saturated, and the ground loses effective stress and becomes liquid. The laboratory repetition test for liquefaction evaluation can be performed through a repeated triaxial compression test and a repeated shear test. In this regard, this study attempted to evaluate the effects of the relative density of sand on the liquefaction resistance strength according to particle size distribution using repeated triaxial compression tests, and additional experimental verification using numerical analysis was conducted to overcome the limitations of experimental equipment. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the liquefaction resistance strength increased as the relative density increased regardless of the classification of soil, and the liquefaction resistance strength of the SP sample close to SW was quite high. As a result of numerical analysis, it was confirmed that the liquefaction resistance strength increased as the confining pressure increased under the same relative density, and the liquefaction resistance strength did not decrease below a certain limit even though the confining pressure was significantly reduced at a relatively low relative density. This is judged to be due to a change in confining pressure according to the depth of the ground. As a result of analyzing the liquefaction resistance strength according to the frequency range, it was confirmed that there was no significant difference from the laboratory experiment results in the basic range of 0.1 to 1.0 Hz.

연약지반에 구조물을 시공하는 경우가 빈번해짐에 따라 연약지반 개량의 필요성이 증대하고 있다. Granular pile 공법은 연약한 점성토 지반이나 느슨한 사질토 지반의 개량에 사용되는 연약지반처리공법이다. 국내에서는 모래를 이용한 SCP공법은 종종 사용해 왔지만 쇄석을 이용한 Granular pile은 외국에 비해 그 사용실적이 미비한 실정이다. 그러나 모래자원의 고갈에 따른 환경적, 경제적 인 문제 때문에 모래 대신 이용할 수 있는 대체재의 필요성이 절실해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Granular pile 공법에 의해 개량된 연약한 점성토 지반의 거동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 모형토조를 이용한 하중재하 및 압밀시험을 실시하였다. 또한, Pile 재료로서 모래뿐만 아니라 쇄석을 이용한 실내모형시험으로 각각의 재료에 따른 지지력 특성 및 침하 특성, 배수 특성 등의 공학적 특성을 비교 평가하여 모래의 대체재로서 쇄석의 활용가능성을 검토하였다. 시험결과, 쇄석은 모래 재료에 비해 지지력증대와 침하저감효과가 크고, 유사한 간극수압특성을 보여 모래의 대체재료로서 쇄석의 활용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

국내 내진설계의 경우, 일반적으로 비배수 조건 해석을 통해 구조물과 지반의 변형을 검토하여 이를 설계 및 유지보수에 적용한다. 하지만 지진과 같은 동적하중에 의해 발생한 액상화 현상 이후 과잉간극수압의 소산과정을 거치게 되면 추가적인 지반의 침하가 발생하고 그에 따른 더 큰 피해가 발생한다. 그러므로 배수조건의 해석이 추가적으로 요구되는 실정이며, 지진이 끝난 후 소산과정을 거친 지반의 침하량을 산정하고 검토하는 등의 정확한 지반의 거동을 파악해 이를 설계 및 유지보수에 함께 적용해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 순수 사질토 지반을 Dr=30%의 느슨한 지반과 Dr=70%의 조밀한 지반으로 구분하여 비배수조건과 배수조건을 가정해 수치해석을 실시하였다. 특히, 지진과 같은 동적하중이 작용할 때, 지반의 배수조건을 고려하여 느슨한 지반과 조밀한 지반의 침하량 및 과잉간극수압비를 비교하고, 지진이 끝난 후 지반의 소산과정에서 나타나는 침하량 및 과잉간극수압비를 비교, 분석하는 부분에 초점을 맞췄다. 그 결과 지진 시 발생한 지반의 침하량 보다 소산과정을 거친 지반의 침하량이 약 30~60배 큰 결과를 얻었다.
