Based on the reliability theory and limit analysis method, the roof stability of a shallow tunnel is investigated under the condition of surface settlement. Nonlinear Hoek-Brown failure criterion is adopted in the present analysis. With the consideration of surface settlement, the internal energy and external work are calculated. Equating the rate of energy dissipation to the external rate of work, the expression of support pressure is derived. With the help of variational approach, a performance function is proposed to reliability analysis. Improved response surface method is used to calculate the Hasofer-Lind reliability index and the failure probability. In order to assess the validity of the present results, Monte-Carlo simulation is performed to examine the correctness. Sensitivity analysis is used to estimate the influence of different variables on reliability index. Among random variables, the unit weight significantly affects the reliability index. It is found that the greater coefficient of variation of variables lead to the higher failure probability. On the basis of the discussions, the reliability-based design is achieved to calculate the required tunnel support pressure under different situations when the target reliability index is obtained.

도심지 포화 상태로 인한 지하공간 개발의 일환으로 터널 건설의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 쉴드 TBM 공법은 진동과 소음을 최소화하며 굴착과 동시에 지반 변형을 최소화하는 공법으로, 국내 도심지 터널 시공은 대체로 쉴드 TBM이 적용되고 있다. 도심지 지반침하 예측의 중요성은 나날이 증가하고 있으며 쉴드 TBM 시공의 경우 지반 변형을 최소화 하지만 터널굴착에 의한 지반침하는 필연적으로 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도심지 적용성이 높은 쉴드 TBM과 지반침하와의 상관성을 분석하여 지반침하에 주요한 영향을 미치는 쉴드 TBM 시공인자를 제시하고자 한다. 실제 현장에서 수집한 쉴드 TBM 시공데이터와 지반침하 계측데이터 간 상관관계 분석을 수행하였으며, 상관성 정도를 상관계수 "r"로 표현하였다. 그 결과 지반침하에 영향을 미치는 쉴드 TBM 주요 시공인자는 추력(Thrust force), 토크(Torque), 챔버압(Chamber pressure), 뒷채움압(Backfill pressure), 배토량(Muck discharge)으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 향후 쉴드 TBM 운용 시 지반침하를 사전에 예측 및 제어 할 수 있도록 주요 시공데이터에 대한 판단 기준 제시에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims at predicting the behavior of saturated soft clayey foundation subjected to earth structure loads such as tidal dike, embankment etc. by using Biot's consolidation equation coupled with elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model. To validate the computer program developed b author, a case study was performed for the site of Kwang-yang steel works improved by sand drain, where since the beginning of the works, field measurements(settlement, lateral displacement and excess pore water pressure) had been accurately achieved. Comparisons between numerical results and observation values were carried out. The main results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. Settlement and lateral displacement between numerical and observation values show satisfactory accordance. 2. As for the exess pre water pressure, numerical results appear to be larger than observation values, which may be due to the existence of sand seams which were not found during soil investigation. 3. Useful data available for failure prediction of soft foundation can be secured by examining lateral displacement, settlement, exess pore water pressure and stress paths.

This paper reports a case study of aboutment displacement and pavement settlement observed at the construction site for highway bridges. The emphasis was on quantifying the horizontal deflections of about and pavement settlement on the backfill surface. It is shown that in soft clay, bridge aboutments on pile foundations are subjected to lateral earth pressures due to lateral soil movement. Based on the results analyzed, the earth pressure was predicted by deflection shape of piles based on the results of a numerical analysis and an analytical study. Also, the long term settlement of soil below pavement was estimated.

This study was carried out for the purpose of pre-estimating long-term settlement under condition of actual field soil's property, in case of building up industrial sites on the marine deposit silty clay located at West Coast in Korea. This study analyzed Hyperbolic Method, Square Root Time Method and Exponential Function Method with utilization of measured survey values of settlement in In-Cheon Namdong Industrial Sites. In the future, for the continuos utilization, it seemed to be needed that further the survey values of fields should be accurartely measured for the analysis of more accurate pre-estimate about long-term settlement. Among the prediction methods of settlement Hyperbolic Method seemed to be the best fitting method for measured data. The settlement equations were derived from above three methods, for long-term settlements.

Suction Drain Method is soft ground improvement technique, in which a vacuum pressure can be directly applied to the Vertical Drain Board to promote consolidation and strengthening the soft ground. This method does not require a surcharge load, different to embankment or Preloading Method. In this study, ground improvement efficiency of suction drain method was estimated when duplex loading pressure with vacuum and pressure. During suction drain method process, surface settlement and pore pressure were monitored, and cone resistance test as well as water content were also measured after the completion of Suction Drain Method treatment.

This paper reviews depositional environments of marine deposits along the Nakdong river and then analytical solution of self-weight consolidation considering artesian pressure is made to find consolidated state. It's known that this area is in the under-consolidated state by the artesian pressure(u$\_$a/=0.3kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and the distribution of the artesian pressure is not linear but parabola. In predicting consolidation settlement for soft grounds improved by vertical drain, it is emphasized that the self-consolidation by sudden dissipation of artesian pressure should be considered.

미소지반 진동에 의해 사질토에서 유발되는 지반 침하는 많은 영향요소들의 복합작용에 의해 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 이들 영향요소들에 대하여 알아보고, 다변수 실험계획법을 이용하여 사질토에서 진동침하 예측모델을 개발하였다. 예측모델에 사용된 변수로는 진동의 크기, 축차응력, 구속응력, 입자분포, 진동지속시간, 함수비, 상대밀도 등이다. 여러 변수들을 실험적으로 고려하기 위하여 특수제작된 진동 프레임을 이용하여 삼축셀안의 공시체에 진동을 가하였다. 다변수 실험 계획법을 이용하여 비교적 작은 실험 양으로 많은 변수들이 진동침하에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 진동침하에 영향을 미치는 중요 요소는 진동의 크기, 구속응력, 축차응력 등이 있다. 진동의 크기가 2.5~18mm/sec의 범위에 있는 미소지반 진동에 의해서도 상당한 침하가 유발되었고 현장응력의 이방성이 진동침하에 많은 영향을 주었다.

Settlement of the piled raft can be estimated even after years of completing the construction of any structure over the foundation. This study is devoted to carry out numerical analysis by the finite element method of the consolidation settlement of piled rafts over clayey soils and detecting the dissipation of excess pore water pressure and its effect on bearing capacity of piled raft foundations. The ABAQUS computer program is used as a finite element tool and the soil is represented by the modified Drucker-Prager/cap model. Five different configurations of pile groups are simulated in the finite element analysis. It was found that the settlement beneath the piled raft foundation resulted from the dissipation of excess pore water pressure considerably affects the final settlement of the foundation, and enough attention should be paid to settlement variation with time. The settlement behavior of unpiled raft shows bowl shaped settlement profile with maximum at the center. The degree of curvature of the raft under vertical load increases with the decrease of the raft thickness. For the same vertical load, the differential settlement of raft of ($10{\times}10m$) size decreases by more than 90% when the raft thickness increased from 0.75 m to 1.5 m. The average load carried by piles depends on the number of piles in the group. The groups of ($2{\times}1$, $3{\times}1$, $2{\times}2$, $3{\times}2$, and $3{\times}3$) piles were found to carry about 24%, 32%, 42%, 58%, and 79% of the total vertical load. The distribution of load between piles becomes more uniform with the increase of raft thickness.

본 연구에서는 다단계 굴착시 연성토류 벽체의 수평변형, 굴착단계별 토압변화 및 분포, 그리고 배면지반의 지표침하와 지중변위의 분포를 규명하기 위하여 벽체강성, 벽마찰의 유무 및 지반조건에 대하여 굴착모형실험을 실시하였다. 모형실험 결과 벽체강성 및 벽체와 배면지반의 벽마찰각에 유무에 따른 지표침하 형태는 다소 차이를 나타내었으며, 지중변위 결과는 최대지중변위의 발생심도는 심도비 0.1H에서 0.15H(H는 최종굴착심도)의 범위에서 나타났다. 그리고 벽체의 강성에 따라 배면지반의 토압재분배 현상인 아칭효과는 벽체강성과 지반조건에 직접적인 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 모형실험에서 얻은 벽체변위 및 토압분포는 기존 탄소성보법 프로그램으로 또한 지표침하 및 지중변위는 본 연구진에 의해 개발된 GDHM 재료모델을 이용한 유한요소법 프로그램으로 각각 비교분석하였다. 기존 탄소성보법 프로그램을 이용하여 모형실험을 해석한 결과 벽체변위 및 토압분포는 모형실험 결과와 상이한 결과를 얻었으며, GDHM 재료모델을 적용한 유한요소해석에서는 벽체수평변위의 형태는 다소 상이한 결과를 얻었으나 배면지반의 지중변위 분포는 벽체강성에 따라서 유사한 결과를 얻었다.
