A settlement prediction method based on shear wave velocity measurements and soil nonlinearity was recently developed and verified by means of centrifuge tests. However, the method was only applicable to heavily overconsolidated soil deposits under enlarged yield surfaces. In this study, the settlement evaluation method was refined to consider the stress history of the sublayer, based on an overconsolidation ratio evaluation technique, and thereby incorporate irrecoverable plastic deformation in the settlement calculation. A relationship between the small-strain shear modulus and overconsolidation ratio, which can be determined from laboratory tests, was adopted to describe the stress history of the subsurface. Based on the overconsolidation ratio determined, the value of an empirical coefficient that reflects the effect of plastic deformation over the elastic region is determined by comparing the overconsolidation ratio with the stress increment transmitted by the surface design load. The refined method that incorporate this empirical coefficient was successfully validated by means of centrifuge tests, even under normally consolidated loading conditions.

The use of sand-tire chip mixtures in construction industry is a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach that addresses both waste tire disposal and soil improvement needs. However, the addition of tire chip particles to natural soils decreases maximum shear modulus (G_max), but increases compressibility, which can be potential drawbacks. This study examines the effect of overconsolidation stress history on the maximum shear modulus (G_max) of rigid-soft mixtures with varying size ratios (SR) and tire chip contents (TC) by measuring the wave velocity through a 1-D compression test during loading and unloading. The results demonstrate that the G_max of tested mixtures in the normally consolidated state increased with increasing SR and decreasing TC. However, the tested mixtures with a smaller SR exhibited a greater increase in G_max during unloading because of the active pore-filling behavior of the smaller rubber particles and the consequent increased connectivity between sand particles. The SR-dependent impact of the overconsolidation stress history on G_max was verified using the ratio between the swelling and compression indices. Most importantly, this study reveals that the excessive settlement and lower G_max of rigid-soft mixtures can be overcome by introducing an overconsolidated state in sand-tire chip mixtures with low TC.

본 연구에서는 피에조콘 관입시험(PCPT)결과를 사용한 연약지반의 과압밀비(OCR)결정의 타당성을 평가하고자 양산-물금지역의 연약지반에서 실시된 피에조 콘 관입시험 자료와 동일지역 44개소에서 심도별로 시추한 총 172개 자연시료를 사용하여 기본적인 실내토질시험 결과를 사용하였다. 실내압밀시험 결과로부터 구한 과압밀비($OCR_c$)와 압밀시험에 사용된 시료와 상응하는 지역에서 실시된 피에조콘 관입시험 결과로 구한 과압밀비($OCR_p$)를 비교 분석하여 피에조콘 관입시험 결과와 과압밀비의 상관 관계식을 제시하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 점토의 경우 Poewll 등(1994)이 균열이 없는 점토를 대상으로 하여 제안한 경험식으로 구한 과압밀비가 표준압밀시험으로 구한 과압밀비와 가장 잘 부합되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, it enforced DMT test, CPTu test, laboratory consolidation test, because it estimated stress history of Gwangyang port marine clay. Through DMT test obtained Horizontal stress index($K_D$), predicted overconsolidation ratio by $K_D$. To compare empirical equation with laboratory consolidation test and CPTu test calculated OCR examined application. The result, Powell & Uglow(1988) method underestimated OCR value in comparison with Suggestion. Comparatively Byeon wi yong(2004) and Chang(1991) method seem to exactly predict in-situ stress states. Sugawara(1988) method of CPTu test seems to underestimate OCR.

시화지역 퇴적층의 퇴적환경을 분석하여 압밀특성을 연구하였다. 퇴적환경은 입도분석, 퇴적구조, 지화학특성, 간 극수 화학분석, 탄소동위원소분석을 통해 분석하였으며 조사지점에서 연속적으로 채취한 불교란 시료에 대해 압밀시험과 이방압밀삼축시험(CKoUC)을 수행하여 과압밀현상을 조사하였다. 퇴적환경 분석 결과 상부의 실트/점토 혼합층은 해성환경에서 퇴적되었으며 하부의 모래층과 점토층은 하성환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 밝혀졌다. 해성퇴적층에서는 실트와 점토의 수평층리에 의한 퇴적구조가 우세하게 나타난다. 해성퇴적층 내에서 지질학적 침식이 발생했다는 뚜렷한 증거가 없음에도 불구하고 상부 해성퇴적층의 과압밀비는 1보다 크게 나오고 있다. 상부 해성퇴적층은 삼축 응력경로에서 정규압밀 점토와 동일한 거동을 보이며, 응력상태선도에서도 지질학적 의미의 정규압밀 영역에 도시된다. 해성퇴적층의 이러한 겉보기 과압밀 현상은 퇴적속도의 차이에 의해 발생되는 연약층의 구조, 즉 입자간 화학적 결합력에 의해 발생된 것으로 설명할 수 있다.

이방압밀이 과압밀점토의 비배수크리프파괴거동에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 등방 및 이방과압일시킨 점토시료에 대해서 비배수상태에서 크리프시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 비배수 크리프파괴거동은 점토시료의 응력이력 즉 과압밀비와 압밀응력비$(\sigma_{3c}/\sigma_{le})$의 크기에 의해서 영향을 크게 받는다는 사실이 밝혀졌다. 즉 점토의 크리프강도는 과압밀비와 압밀응력비가 클수록 증가하므로 정지토압계수가 1.0보다 작은 점토지반의 크리프파괴 가능성을 등방압밀크리프피 괴시험에 의해서 판단하는 것은 위험하다. 그리고 점토의 크리프강도는 과압밀비와 압밀응력비의 크기에 관계없이 Finn과 Shead(1973)의 제안식에 의한 상한항복강도로서 구할 수 있었다.

Consolidation properties were analysed by means of depositional environments. Depositional environments including geochemical properties, porewater chemistry, sediment structures, particle size distributions and carbon age dating were analysed using undisturbed samples retrieved successively from a boring hole in the study area. Laboratory oedometer tests and anisotropic consolidated triaxial tests(CKoUC) were performed to examine the overconsolidation phenomenons. Based on the carbon age dating results and profiles of geochemical properties, porewater chemistry, salinity and pH, it was founded that the upper silt/clay complex layer was deposited under marine condition while sand and clay layers were deposited under fluvial condition. Planar laminated structures of silts and clays were dominant in marine deposits. Although there was no clear evidences that geological erosion had been occurred in marine deposits, overconsolidation ratio obtained from oedometer tests were greater than unity. Stress paths of samples behaved similar to those of normally consolidated clays. Data plotted in stress state charts proposed by Burland(1990) and Chandler(2000) showed that the marine deposits were geologically normally consolidated. These apparent overconsolidations can be explained by the fabric and chemical bonding due to the difference of the rate of deposition.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour of saturated silty sand under monotonic loading conditions. The undrained soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed at different confining pressures, void ratios and overconsolidation ratios and the samples were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain monotonic loading conditions. It is shown that increasing confining pressures, void ratios and overconsoildation ratios increases the deviator stress, but it has no effect on increasing the dilatant tendencies. It is shown that complete static liquefaction was observed regardless of increases in the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsolidation ratio. Therefore, the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsoildation ratio does not provide significant effects on the liquefaction resistance of the silty sand. The presence of fines in the soil was shown to greatly increase the potential for static liquefaction and creates a particle structure with high compressibility for all cases.

Vibration triaxial compression test was put in influence for liquefaction strength of fine grained soil of dredged and reclaimed ground and consideration for fine fraction content, relative density, overconsolidation ratio and plasticity index in this study. By the results of these test, the liquefaction strength increased with fine fraction content and the relative density, overconsolidation ratio incresed with liquefaction strength too. However, in the case of nonplastic silt was the smalist liquefaction strength which influenced by dilatancy and interlocking when silt content was 34.7%(average grading 0.12mm). Therefore, liquefaction strength of fine grained soil of dredged and reclaimed ground increased with fine fraction content so it will help to make lower liquefaction.

Reusing the used pile has not yet been implemented due to the unpredictability of the bearing capacity evolution. This paper presents an analytic approach to estimate the sides shear setup after the dissipation of pore pressure. Long-term evolution of adjacent soil is simulated by viscoelastic-plastic constitutive model. Then, an innovative concept of quasi-overconsolidation is proposed to estimate the strength changes of surrounding soil. Total stress method (α method) is employed to evaluate the long term bearing capacity. Measured data of test piles in Louisiana and semi-logarithmic time function are cited to validate the effectiveness of the presented method. Comparisons illustrate that the presented approach gives a reasonably prediction of the side shear setup. Both the presented method and experiment show the shaft resistance increase by 30%-50%, and this highlight the potential benefit of piles reutilization.
