마이크로터널링은 비교적 연약한 사질토 지반을 통과하는 소규모의 터널을 시공할 때 적용하는 공법으로, 터널 시작 위치에서 일련의 짧은 원형 콘크리트 관을 유압으로 밀어서 전구간을 관통하는 공법이다. 미국 뉴욕의 JFK공항의 활주로에서는 활주로 하부를 통과하는 전력구의 설치를 위하여 이러한 마이l터널링 공법을 시도하였다. 마이크로터널링 공법에서는 콘크리트관을 전진시키기 위해 강력한 유압으로 벤토나이트를 분출하는데, 이로 인하여 활주로 하부의 지반이 교란될 가능성이 있었기에 본 연구에서는 터널시공으로 인한 교란의 정도를 평가하기 위하여 SASW 기법과 크로스흘 시험을 수행하였다. 구조물 비파괴 건전도 기법인 SASW 기법으로는 활주로 기층 부위의 지반강성 변화 정도를 평가하였고, 크로스흘 시험으로는 활주로 인접 지반의 깊이별 5파속도 변화를 조사하였다. 또한, JFK 공항 부지에서 결정한 5파 속도-N 치의 부지특유 관계식을 통하여 5파 속도를 N치로 변환함으로써 지반강성의 변화를 지반강도 변화의 측면으로도 지반교란의 정도를 파악하였다.

본 연구에서는 벤더엘리먼트가 장착된 삼축시험장비를 이용하여 모래에 대한 일련의 압밀배수시험을 수행하여 응력, 변형률, 그리고 전단파속도를 측정하였으며 이로부터 전단강도와 포아송비의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 전단파속도로부터 계산된 최대전단탄성계수와 파괴시의 축응력과 반경방향 응력의 합으로 정의되는 유효수직응력과는 고유한 상관관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 도출된 경험식은 전단파속도와 전단강도 그리고 마찰각간의 상관관계를 나타내므로 매우 유용하다고 판단된다. 나아가 본 연구에서는 측정된 축변형률과 체적변형률로부터 모래의 포아송비를 측정하였다. 포아송비는 변형률과 체적변화에 큰 영향을 받으며 0.15~0.6까지 변형률에 따라서 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 0.2% 미만의 축변형률에서는 대략 0.25~0.4으로 기존 문헌에서 제시된 0.3~0.35를 크게 벗어나지 않지만 1% 이상의 변형률에서는 0.5~0.6으로 문헌에서 제시된 값은 포아송비를 크게 과소예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

Surface wave techniques are widely used as non-invasive method for geotechnical site characterization. Field surface wave data are collected and analyzed using different processing techniques to generate the dispersion curves, which are further used to extract the shear wave velocity profile by inverse problem solution. Characteristics of a dispersion curve depend on the subsurface layering information of a vertically heterogeneous medium. Sometimes soft layer can be found between two stiff layers in the vertically heterogeneous media, and it can affect the wave propagation dramatically. Now most of the surface wave techniques use the fundamental mode Rayleigh wave propagation during the inversion, but this may not be the actual scenario when a soft layer is present in a vertically layered medium. This paper presents a detailed and comprehensive study using finite element method to examine the effect of soft layers which sometimes get trapped between two high velocity layers. Determination of the presence of a soft layer is quite important for proper mechanical characterization of a soil deposit. Present analysis shows that the thickness and position of the trapped soft layer highly influence the dispersion of Rayleigh waves while the higher modes also contribute in the resulting wave propagation.

A new mechanical model for predicting the vibration of a pipe pile embedded in longitudinally layered visco-elastic media with radial inhomogeneity is proposed by extending Novak's plain-strain model and complex stiffness method to consider viscous-type damping. The analytical solutions for the dynamic impedance, the velocity admittance and the reflected signal of wave velocity at the pile head are also derived and subsequently verified by comparison with existing solutions. An extensive parametric analysis is further performed to examine the effects of shear modulus, viscous damping coefficient, coefficient of disturbance degree, weakening or strengthening range of surrounding soil and longitudinal soft or hard interbedded layer on the velocity admittance and the reflected signal of wave velocity at the pile head. It is demonstrated that the proposed model and the obtained solutions provide extensive possibilities for practical application compared with previous related studies.

지반의 표면에서 비파괴적으로 지반의 구조나 하부강성을 구하는 표면파 기법의 초기형태는 2차원 평면파의 측정과 해석에 기반을 두었으나, 이후 3차원 입체파에 기반을 두는 형태로 발전하였다. 그러나 체적파의 간섭, 근접장 효과, 표면파 측정해상도의 한계 등으로 인하여 3차원 입체파의 활용은 제한적이었고, 측정 지반을 대표하는 1차원 평가에 국한되었다. 본 연구에서는 SASW 시험의 수치모델링을 통하여 수직 레일레이파, 수평 레일레이파, 러브파 등의 표면파 전파 특성을 3차원 영역에서 심도있게 고찰하였으며, 표면파의 근접장 효과를 최소화하기 위한 새로운 필터조건을 정립하였고, 결과적으로 CAP(common-array-profiling)-SASW라는 기법이라고 하는 개선된 표면파 기법을 제안하게 되었다. CAP-SASW 기법의 적용으로 인하여 좁은 폭의 지반단면에 대한 전단파 속도 주상도 평가가 가능하게 되었고, 지반 단면에 대한 2차원 지반강성 평가도 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 기법의 검증을 위하여 자연 지반을 대상으로 하여 CAP-SASW 시험, 기존 SASW 시험, 다운홀 시험 등을 수행하여 획득된 전단파 주상도를 비교하였다.

Site response analyses were performed based on equivalent linear technique using shear wave velocity profiles of 162 sites collected around the Korean peninsula. The site characteristics, particularly the shear wave velocities and the depth to the bedrock, are compared to those in the western United States. The results show that the site-response coefficients based on the mean shear velocity of the top 30m ($V_{S30}$) suggested in the current code underestimates the motion in short-period ranges and overestimates the motion in mid-period ranges. The current Korean code based on UBC is required to be modified considering site characteristics in Korea for the reliable estimation of site amplification. From the results of numerical estimations, new regression curves were derived between site coefficients ($F_{a}\;and\;F_{v}$) and the fundamental site periods, and site coefficients were grouped based on site periods with reasonable standard deviations compared to site classification based on $V_{S30}$. Finally, new site classification system and modification of design response spectra are recommended considering geotechnical characteristics in Korea.

Post-Katrina investigations revealed that most earthen levee damage occurred on the levee crest and landward-side slope as a result of either wave overtopping, storm surge overflow, or a combination of both. In this paper, combined wave overtopping and storm surge overflow of a levee embankment strengthened with high performance turf reinforcement mat (HPTRM) system was studied in a purely Lagrangian and meshless approach, two-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model. After the SPH model is calibrated with full-scale overtopping test results, the overtopping discharge, flow thickness, flow velocity, average overtopping velocity, shear stress, and soil erosion rate are calculated. New equations are developed for average overtopping discharge. The shear stresses on landward-side slope are calculated and the characteristics of soil loss are given. Equations are also provided to estimate soil loss rate. The range of the application of these equations is discussed.

The standard deviations of the proposed method was reasonable compared to site classification based on $V_{S30}$. Finally, new site classification system is recommended based on site periods for regions of shallow bedrock depth in Korea.

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.
