An extended model for the response of a rigid footing on a reinforced foundation bed on super soft soil is proposed by incorporating the rough membrane element into the granular bed. The super soft soil, the granular bed and the reinforcement are modeled as non-linear Winkler springs, non-linear Pasternak layer and rough membrane respectively. The hyperbolic stress-displacement response of the super soft soil and the hyperbolic shear stress-shear strain response of the granular fill are considered. The finite deformation theory is used since large settlements are expected to develop due to deformation of the super-soft soil. Parametric studies quantify the effect of each parameter on the stress-settlement response of the reinforced foundation bed, the settlement and tension profiles.

By the countermeasure which is caused by with railroad station ground settlement it applied a CGS in each independent foundation. The effectiveness of the ground improvement and the bearing capacity of the compaction pile has been verified by the Cone Penetration Test(CPT) and Load Test. Test result show that penetration resistance and the cone friction force increased a lot and settlement 13.475mm as the standard settlement 40.0mm appeared at below. Also uniaxial compression test result $278kg/cm^2$ as the standard $150kg/cm^2$ appeared far a lot.

This paper presents a case study that achieved both of serviceability and safety of the building through soil reinforcement and restoration around foundations subjected to serious differential settlement using D-ROG method. The building which has one basement floor and three ground floors is founded on soft ground and differential settlement occurred to the maximum extent of 678mm. The foundation type of the building is a independent mat foundation. Soil profiles consist of landfill layer, alluvial layer, weathered rock, and soft rock. The bearing layer consisting of gravel and weathered rock is located 16.0~17.0m below the bottom of the building. As a result of soil reinforcement and restoration, the recovery ratio of more than 90% can be attained with the maximum set-up of 657mm.

This study is attempted to propose a new hybrid artificial intelligence model called integrative genetic algorithm with multivariate adaptive regression splines (GA-MARS) for settlement prediction of shallow foundations on sandy soils. In this hybrid model, the evolution algorithm - Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to search and optimize the hyperparameters of multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). For this purpose, a total of 180 experimental data were collected and analyzed from available researches with five-input variables including the bread of foundation (B), length to width (L/B), embedment ratio (D_f/B), foundation net applied pressure (q_net), and average SPT blow count (N_SPT). In further analysis, a new explicit formulation was derived from MARS and its accuracy was compared with four available formulae. The attained results indicated that the proposed GA-MARS model exhibited a more robust and better performance than the available methods.

The groundwater level (GWL) is an important subsoil condition for the design of foundation. GWL tends to fluctuate often with seasonal variation, which may cause unexpected, additional settlements with some reductions in the safety margin of foundation. In this study, the effects of fluctuating GWL on the load carrying and settlement behavior of footing were investigated and quantified. A series of model load tests were conducted for various GWL and soil conditions using a hydraulically-controlled chamber system. Changes in load level and rising and falling GWL fluctuation cycle were considered in the tests. Settlements during GWL rise were greater than those during GWL fall. The depth of the GWL influence zone ($\underline{d}_{w,inf}$) varied in the range of 0.3 to 1.5 times footing width and became shallower as GWL continued to fluctuate. Design equations for estimating GWL-induced settlements for footings were proposed. The GWL fluctuation cycle, load level and soil density were considered in the proposed method. Changes in settlement and factor of safety with GWL fluctuation were discussed.

얕은기초의 회전거동은 지진 시 기초 위 상부 구조물의 지진 하중을 줄여주는 장점이 있어 새로운 기초 내진설계개념으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 채취한 시료를 다짐하여 조성된 풍화토 지반에서 얕은기초의 회전거동을 평가하기 위하여 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험 모형은 풍화토 지반, 얕은기초, 단자유도 구조물로 이루어져 있으며, 지진 시 지반, 기초, 구조물의 가속도 응답과 기초의 침하 등 얕은기초 시스템의 거동을 관찰하였다. 입력 지진 하중이 클 경우 상부 구조물의 지진하중은 풍화토 지반에 놓인 기초 들뜸에 의한 회전거동으로 인해 줄어들었으며, 기초의 침하도 최대 기초폭의 0.5%이하로 작게 발현되었다. 이를 통하여 향후 추가적인 연구 및 검증을 바탕으로 국내 풍화토 지반에서 회전 거동 개념을 이용한 기초 설계 가능성을 확인하였다.

It is difficult to control differential settlement and long-term settlement on soft ground with the template used in the pre-filing method of offshore wind power. In this study, the template adopted a suction foundation with high utility on soft ground. To analyze the penetration performance of the doughnut-type suction foundation, step-by-step numerical analysis was applied by calculating the minimum suction pressure needed for ground penetration at that depth. Scale model tests were performed and compared with the numerical analysis results. The ratio of the inside diameter compared to the outside diameter is higher, and penetration by suction was more advantageous than push-in load penetration. The step-by-step numerical analysis method showed an error within 2 % compared to the model tests, so the numerical analysis method confirmed results that the penetration performance of the doughnut-type suction foundation is valid.

본 연구에서는 사질지반에서 말뚝전면기초와 전면기초와의 거동을 유한요소해석을 이용하여 비교하였다. 25개의 시추공의 표준관입시험의 결과를 이용하여 구한 토질정수를 유한요소해석에 사용하였다. 말뚝을 사용하지 않은 전면기초의 경우 $8m{\times}8m$ and $15m{\times}15m$의 크기의 정규화된 침하계수는 각각 1.02~1.15 and 0.64~0.81의 범위로 나타났다. 전면기초의 두께는 부등침하와 휨모멘트에 영향을 미치고 하중분담과 최대침하에는 큰 영향이 없었다. 말뚝의 간격은 최대침하와 부등침하, 휨모멘트에, 말뚝의 하중분담에 영향을 받고 반면에 부등침하와 휨모멘트는 말뚝의 길이에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Settlements of maximum 23cm have occurred in and Apartment building consturcted on a fill layer with pile foundations. The main reason of the settlements was due to the negative skin friction applied to the pile, and settlement of adjacent ground since most pile tips are acted as a floating foundation founded on the stratum where the SPT N value was mostly less than 30. To underpin this building, the Jumbo Special Pile grouging was adopted, and instrumented data showed little differential settlement after the JSP underpinning.

Vast parts of the east of Tabriz city have been covered by Baghmisheh formation marls. These marls can be classified into three types based on their color as identified in yellow, green, and gray marls. Many high-rise buildings and other projects were founded and now is constructing on these marls. Baghmisheh formation marls are classified as stiff soil to very weak rock, therefore they undergo considerable consolidation settlement under foundation loads. This study presents the physical properties and consolidation behavior of these marls. According to the XRD tests, major clay minerals of marls are Illite, Kaolinite, Montmorillonite and Chloride. Uniaxial compressive strength are 100-250, 300-480 and 500-560 kPa for yellow, green and gray marls, respectively. Consolidation and creep behavior of Baghmisheh marls investigated by using of one dimensional consolidation apparatus under stress level up to 5 MPa. The results indicate that yellow marls have high compressibility, settlement and deformation modules. Green marls have an intermediate compressibility and settlement and while gray marls have low compressibility and settlement and from the foundation point of view have high stability. According to the creep test results, all types of marls have not been entered to progressive creep phase up to pressure 5 MPa.
