Scour vulnerability evaluation for shallow foundations was performed to assure bridge safety against scour in the national capital region. The case studies for 26 shallow foundations consisted of site investigation including boring test, bridge scour analysis for the design flood, bearing capacity evaluation of the bridge foundation before and after scour, and comprehensive evaluation of bridge scour vulnerability. Bridge scour vulnerability was determined based on the interdisciplinary concept considering predicted scour depth for the design floods and bearing capacity of foundation as well as dimensions of foundation. Nine of 26 shallow foundations showed the potential future vulnerability to scour with significant decrease in the bearing capacity of foundations due to scour and the remaining 17 were expected to maintain their stability against scour.

현재 사용되고 있는 여러 가지 얕은기초 침하량 예측식에 대한 신뢰성 평가를 위해 얕은기초에 대한 각종 재하시험 데이터, 기초의 형상과 위치 및 지반 원위치시험 관련사항을 조사하여 데이터베이스(D/B)로 구축하였으며 이를 바탕으로 통계분석을 실시할 수 있는 해석프로그램을 제작하여 기존 침하량 산정 공식의 정확도(accuracy)와 신뢰수준(reliability), 특히, 기존 침하량 공식의 침하비(s/B) 대비 안정성을 평가하여 기 사용 5개식에 대한 평가결과를 제시하였다. 현재수준의 분석결과는 D/B의 양과 질에 좌우되므로 양질의 데이터를 추가로 확보하고 5가지 이외의 방법까지 분석하면 신뢰성과 정확성을 파악하면서 설계에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Micropile has been widely used for reinforcing general grounds, improving slope stability and structural foundations. However, a need still exists for evaluating the effects of inclined micropiles on shallow foundations in Korea. In this paper, numerical analyses were presented to evaluate settlement characteristics on shallow foundations reinforced by micropiles and the effects of inclined micropiles under various conditions such as the installation position, installation angle, hardness(diameter), and grouting type. In addition, this paper reports trends of effectiveness and efficiency of using inclined micropiles on shallow foundations under specified conditions.

Bearing capacity of shallow foundations is often determined for either dry or saturated soils. In some occasions, foundations may be subjected to external loading which is inclined and/or eccentric. In this study, the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on partially saturated coarse-grained cohesionless and fine-grained cohesive soils subjected to a wide range of combined vertical (V) - horizontal (H) - moment (M) loadings is rigorously evaluated using the well-established limit equilibrium method. The unified effective stress approach as well as the suction stress concept is effectively adopted so as to simulate the behaviour of the underlying unsaturated soil medium. In order to obtain the bearing capacity, four equilibrium equations are solved by adopting Coulomb failure mechanism and Bishop effective stress concept and also considering a linear variation of the induced matric suction beneath the foundation. The general failure loci of the shallow foundations resting on unsaturated soils at different hydraulic conditions are presented in V - H - M spaces. The results indicate that the matric suction has a marked influence on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. In addition, the effect of induced suction on the ultimate bearing capacity of obliquely-loaded foundations is more pronounced than that of the eccentrically-loaded footings.

In recent years, world has witnessed many man-made activities related to both above and underground blasts. Details on behaviour of shallow foundations subjected to blast loads and induced liquefaction is scarce in literature. In this paper, typical shallow strip foundation in saturated cohesionless soils subjected to both above and underground blasting have been simulated by using finite difference based numerical model FLAC3D. Peak particle velocity (PPV) has been obtained to propose critical values for which bearing capacity failure for shallow foundations with soil liquefaction can occur. Typical results for pore pressure ratio (PPR) for various scaled distances are compared to PPR values obtained by using empirical equation available in literature which shows good agreement. Critical design values obtained in the present study for PPV and PPR to estimate the scaled distance, bearing capacity failure and liquefaction susceptibility can be used effectively for design of shallow strip foundation in cohesionless soil subjected to both above and under ground blast loads.

Available methods to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations may not be accurate enough owing to the complicated failure mechanism and diversity of the underlying soils. Accordingly, applying new methods of artificial intelligence can improve the prediction of the ultimate bearing capacity. The M5' model tree and the genetic programming are two robust artificial intelligence methods used for prediction purposes. The model tree is able to categorize the data and present linear models while genetic programming can give nonlinear models. In this study, a combination of these methods, called the M5'-GP approach, is employed to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of the shallow foundations, so that the advantages of both methods are exploited, simultaneously. Factors governing the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations, including width of the foundation (B), embedment depth of the foundation (D), length of the foundation (L), effective unit weight of the soil (${\gamma}$) and internal friction angle of the soil (${\varphi}$) are considered for modeling. To develop the new model, experimental data of large and small-scale tests were collected from the literature. Evaluation of the new model by statistical indices reveals its better performance in contrast to both traditional and recent approaches. Moreover, sensitivity analysis of the proposed model indicates the significance of various predictors. Additionally, it is inferred that the new model compares favorably with different models presented by various researchers based on a comprehensive ranking system.

얕은기초 설계시 이용되는 지반의 물리적 공학적 설계변수들은 고유변동성(inherent variability) 및 측정 오차(measurement error) 등과 같은 여러 가지 요인으로 인하여 불확실성이 필연적으로 내포되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 얕은기초 설계시 기존의 결정론적 방법에서 고려하지 못하는 지반 불확실성 등을 포함한 설계 파라미터의 분산을 고려할 수 있는 확률론적 방법의 신뢰성 설계 사례를 제시하였다. 극한지지력 산정시 확률변수(random variable)인 단위중량, 점착력 및 내부마찰각 그리고 침하량 산정시 탄성계수에 대하여 국내 지반에 대한 적정 확률분포 형태 및 통계적 특성치를 결정하였다. 각 확률변수별로 채택된 분포를 적용하여 지지력과 침하량에 관한 신뢰지수와 파괴확률을 결정하였으며, 목표 신뢰지수 또는 확률에 대한 기초폭을 결정하였다. 얕은기초의 신뢰성 설계에 있어서 정규분포의 일괄적 적용보다는 각 확률변수에 해당하는 적합한 분포형태를 적용, 분석하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다.

연약지반에 적용하여 인력 및 장비의 진입을 용이하게 함은 물론 나아가 가시설이나 소형구조물의 기초로서의 역할도 가능한 간편하고 효율적인 공법의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 얕은기초에 설치되는 저면돌출벽의 지내력 증대 효과를 확인하고 간격과 길이에 따라 연약지반상 기초의 지내력이 어떻게 달라지는가를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 재하장치가 설치된 토조에 연약지반을 조성하고 다양한 간격과 길이의 저면돌출벽을 가진 모형기초에 대해 재하시험을 실시하여 지지력과 침하량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 연약지반에서 얕은기초에 저면돌출벽을 장치하면 지내력 증대 효과를 얻을 수 있으며 돌출벽의 길이가 길수록, 개수가 증가할수록 전반적으로 지내력은 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 또한 저면돌출벽의 길이 대 폭 비가 1일 때 즉, 돌출벽과 기초 저면이 이루는 형상이 정사각형일 때 최적의 효과를 보이며 이 경우 지내력은 약 25% 증대된다.

The time-history finite element analysis is usually used to evaluate the seismic response of shallow foundations. However, the literature lacks studies on the influence of the soil constitutive model complexity on the seismic response of shallow foundations. This study, thus, aims to fill this gap by investigating the seismic response of shallow foundation resting on dry silica sand using the linear elastic (LE) model, elastic-perfectly-plastic (EPP) model, and hardening soil with small strain stiffness (HS small) model. These models have been used because it is intended to compare the results of a soil constitutive model that accurately captures the seismic response of the soil-structure interaction problems (which is the HS small model) with simpler models (the LE and EPP models) that are routinely used by practitioners in geotechnical designs. The results showed that the LE model produces a very small seismic settlement value which is approximately equal to zero. The EPP model predicts a seismic settlement higher than that produced using the HS small model for earthquakes with a peak ground acceleration (PGA) lower than 0.25 g for a relative density of 45% and 0.40 g for a relative density of 70%. However, the HS small model predicts a seismic settlement higher than the EPP model beyond the aforementioned PGA values with the difference between both models increases as the PGA rises. The results also showed that the LE and EPP models predict similar trend and magnitude of the acceleration-time relationship directly below the foundation, which was different than that predicted using the HS small model. The results reported in this paper provide a useful benchmark for future numerical studies on the response of shallow foundations subjected to seismic shake.
