In recent years, geotextile-encased gravel columns (usually called stone columns) have become a popular method to increasing soil shear strength, decreasing the settlement, acceleration of the rate of consolidation, reducing the liquefaction potential and increasing the bearing capacity of foundations. The behavior of improved loose base-soil with gravel columns under shear loading and the shear stress-horizontal displacement curves got from large scale direct shear test are of great importance in understanding the performance of this method. In the present study, by performing 36 large-scale direct shear tests on sandy base-soil with different fine-content of zero to 30% in both not improved and improved with gravel columns, the effect of the presence of gravel columns in the loose soils were investigated. The results were used to predict the shear stress-horizontal displacement curve of these samples using support vector machines (SVM). Variables such as the non-plastic fine content of base-soil (FC), the area replacement ratio of the gravel column (Arr), the geotextile encasement and the normal stress on the sample were effective factors in the shear stress-horizontal displacement curve of the samples. The training and testing data of the model showed higher power of SVM compared to multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network in predicting shear stress-horizontal displacement curve. After ensuring the accuracy of the model evaluation, by introducing different samples to the model, the effect of different variables on the maximum shear stress of the samples was investigated. The results showed that by adding a gravel column and increasing the Arr, the friction angle (ϕ) and cohesion (c) of the samples increase. This increase is less in base-soil with more FC, and in a proportion of the same Arr, with increasing FC, internal friction angle and cohesion decreases.

If the load of constructing vehicles during the construction work acts on the road or the ground surface on the soft ground, due to the excess stresses in soils the trafficability of the vehicles influences the constructing efficiency, constructing period and so on. Stress distribution in soils is the very important element to design and to solve the problems of settlement, safety of foundations and trafficability of constructing vehicle in civil engineering. This research represents the comparative estimation of the actual and theoretical measurement on the underground stress of outer layer for each soil after the observation of each top soil layer for its vertical and horizontal stress in (1)homogeneous sand ground (2) weak stratum with the sand soil (3) weak stratum with gravel of the soil model, and it also investigates the effect of subsidence of ground by the repeated load. The underground stress turn out to be different in the value of theoretical and actual measurement after the trial examination of model.

Soils exhibit creep behavior in which deformation and movement proceed under a state of constant stress or load. In Korea, weathered soil is abundant and occupies around one-third of the country. Weathered soil is visually described as a sandy or gravelley soil, but the behavior is quite different from the behavior of usual sand and gravel. In particular, the permeability of weathered soil is similar to sand, but the durability of settlement is similar to clay. Therefore analysis of time-dependent behavior of weathered soil is very important. In this study, Creep tests with weathered soils were carried out under constant principal stress differences of various stress levels which were experimentally obtained by triaxial compression test. The results of these tests showed the creep behavior for which the deformation increased with time, and the results are consistent with phenomenological model by creep equation of Singh-Mitchell.

Maximum shear modulus (G_max or G₀) is an important soil property useful for many engineering applications, such as the analysis of soil-structure interactions, soil stability, liquefaction evaluation, ground deformation and performance of seismic design. In the current study, bender element (BE) tests are used to evaluate the effect of the void ratio, effective confining pressure, grading characteristics (D₅₀, C_u and C_c), anisotropic consolidation and initial fabric anisotropy produced during specimen preparation on the G_max of sand-gravel mixtures. Based on the tests results, an empirical equation is proposed to predict G_max in granular soils, evaluated by the experimental data. The artificial neural network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models were also applied. Coefficient of determination (R²) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between predicted and measured values of G_max were calculated for the empirical equation, ANN and ANFIS. The results indicate that all methods accuracy is high; however, ANFIS achieves the highest accuracy amongst the presented methods.

일반적으로 연약지반인 점성토 지반이나 느슨한 사질토 지반을 개량하기 위하여 모래다짐말뚝(SCP)공법 또는 쇄석다짐말뚝(GCP)공법이 쓰여지고 있다. 하지만 모래다짐공법은 모래의 수급부족과 모래채취로 인한 환경파괴와 같은 문제점이 있으며, 쇄석다짐공법은 쇄석다짐재료의 클로깅으로 인하여 배수재의 투수계수가 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 최근, 모래와 공학적 성질이 유사한 화력발전소 부산물인 저회를 모래의 대체 재료로 활용하기 위한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저회혼합다짐말뚝에 대한 기초적 연구로써 조립재료 및 치환율에 따른 조립재료 혼합다짐말뚝의 거동특성을 수치해석적으로 규명하였다. 특히, 말뚝중심부로부터 거리에 따른 침하저감비(SRR)를 산정하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같았다. 조립재료에 따른 혼합다짐말뚝의 침하저감비 변화값은 유사한 형태를 보였으며 치환율에 따라 복합지반의 강성이 증대하여 침하저감비는 감소하는 형태를 보였다. 특히, 치환율 20~40%의 범위에서는 일반적으로 침하저감비의 증가가 큰 것으로 나타났고, 치환율 40% 이상에서는 증가치가 서서히 감소하는것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 적용한 연약지반과 유사한 지반에 혼합다짐말뚝 적용 시 경제성을 고려하였을 때, 30~40%의 치환율이 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

the shaking table tests for 5 different model sections are performed to investigate the behaviors of quay walls during earthquakes and to evaluate the seismic performance of quay walls with countermeasures. 5 different model sections describe the cases of dense soil and loose soil in the foundation repectively the case to which gravel backfill was applied and the cases to which light material replacement method and sand compction pile method was applied repectively for sesmic countermeasure methods. Pore water pressures accelerations and deformations in quay walls and grounds are analyzed. As a result the softening of foundation and backfill soils have much influence on the behaviors of quay walls. Also light material replacement method and sand compaction pile method are effective in improving the seismic performance of quay walls.

Piezoelectric sensors have many applications in geotechnical engineering, especially in characterizing soils through measurement of wave velocities. Since mechanical properties of a material are closely associated with wave velocities, piezoelectric sensors provide a reliable and non-destructive method for the determination of soil properties. This paper presents results of recent research on measuring stiffness of a wide range of soils such as clay, sand, and gravel, characterizing anisotropic properties of soil induced by external loading, measuring stiffness of base and subgrade materials in the pavement, determining soil properties in a centrifuge model during the flight of a centrifuge, and understanding wave propagation in granular materials under micro-gravity environment using this technique.

In this paper, we present experimental results of the soil discharge characteristics as a function of moisture content when a 1.2/50-㎲ lightning impulse voltage is applied. For this study, laboratory experiments were carried out based on factors affecting the transient behavior in soils. The electrical breakdown voltages in soils were measured for a 0-6% range of moisture content for sand and a 0 - 4% range of moisture content for gravel. A test cell with semi-spherical electrodes buried face-to-face in the middle of a cylindrical container was used. The distance separating the electrodes is 100 mm. As a result, the time-lag to breakdown in soils decreases as the amplitude of applied voltage increases. The time-lag to initiation of ionization streamer is decreased, with an increase in the moisture content. However, the formative time-lag is rarely changed. The behavior of soil discharges depend not only on the type of soil and its moisture content but also on the amplitude of the impulse voltage. When the test voltage is applied repeatedly, electrical breakdown occurs along different discrete paths, leading radially away from the injected electrode. i.e., the fact that the ionization streamers propagate in different paths from shot to shot was observed.

This study was carried out to examine the physicochemical characteristics of dredged soils in reservoirs. Surveys and analyses of basic materials were made on 241 of 2,328 reservoirs in Chonbuk province through 2 years from December 1994 to November 1996. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. Soils were classified as 15 types according to physical properties, and some soils contain comparatively high percentage of sand and gravel. Considering only soil textures, useful and economical soils as aggregate are approximately 25% in all, and the other soils are arable for farm planting. 2. The results of chemical analyses of soils showed on the average 5.9 in pH, 1.lmmhos/cm in ECe, 14.6me/l00g in CEC, 460.0ppm in T-N, 119.0ppm in T-P, 264.9ppm in K, 134.2ppm in Na, l,335.0ppm in Ca, 575.9ppm in Mg, 486.Sppm in Fe, 57.7ppm in Mn, 3.3ppm in Cu, 21.9ppm in Zn, 0.49ppm in As, 0.34ppm in Cd, 0.O3ppm in Hg, 1.7% in OM, respectively. 3. General chemical components, heavy metals, organic matter contents were analyzed as similar to tlie mean values of common soils, therefore it was considered to be no significant effects on crop growth in the chemical properties. 4. Accodingly, the physicochemical characteristics of soils ought to be analyzed accurately before dredging for effective using of dredged soils. And it will be more effective, if the dredged soils are used with proper balance among each content of components with considering to the physicochemical properties of common soils.
