Sheet pil VL 제조에 있어서 핵심적인 중요 기술은 압연 중 진행 소재가 좌우 휨이 없이 직진토록하여 치입 상에 문제가 없어야 하는 것이며, 또 하나는 압연 완료후 냉각 중에 있는 제품의 bending량을 최소로 하여 roller 교정기에서 1차 교정으로 교정이 완료되게 하는 것이다. 압연중 소재가 직진토록 하기 위해서 web와 flange 등의 caliber 협상에서 balance가 유지되어야 하므로, web와 flange의 reduction을 1:1 vs 1.0으로 web의 압하가 flange에 비해 10%정도 크게 하였고, 좌우 flange의 reduction이 변화하지 않도록 flange 온도 보존을 위하여 intermediated에서 2 pass를 생략하여 약 40초의 rolling time을 단축시켰고, 이는 7$0^{\circ}C$정도의 온도 drop를 방지하는 효과를 나타내었다. 이로 인한 roll force는 약 15%정도 down 되었다. 논리상으로 A3 변태점 이하에서 web(두꺼운 부분 24.3mm)나 flange(얇은부분 9.5mm)가 동시에 압연이 완료된다면 bending량은 휠씬 줄어든 것이나, 이 경우 roll force 증가에 따른 roll 절손 사고의 위험과 설비 trouble이 우려되기 때문에 web 온도를 약 95$0^{\circ}C$에서 flange 온도를 83.$0^{\circ}C$에서 압연 완료토록 함으로써 설비 안전을 도모하였고, 1차 교정을 위하여 냉각 주수 설비를 설치하여 공냉시켰을 때의 1400mm에서 700mm로 bending량을 감소시킴으로써 이를 가능토록하였다.

Coffer dam for tunnel type spillway in inflow section of Dae-am dam was originally planned as 2 lines sheet piles with Water Zet method. But, the result of pilot test was caused of some problems that vibration during installation of pile could pollute water and water leakage could the lower part. So, sheet piles was not satisfactory for faculty of coffer dam. Structural instability of sheet pile system need to reinforcement. Characteristic of Dae-am dam was small reservoir capacity but wide drainage area, of which it was judgment that security of leakage and stability was difficult during excavation of inlet part. So, we consider that water curtain method utilized with in site pouring concrete pile method was designed at weir part of spillway. We were known about basement rock that geological boring was carried out in weir part. After taking a deep consideration, PRD method was accepted as a new method. Concrete pile by PRD was installed to below country rock. CJM method was carried out with PRD. After making concrete wall using Top-down method, earth anchors were installed for supporting it. According to the result of numerical analysis, as water level rises, wall is stable.

Currently, cofferdams of circular cross section are widely applied as temporary facilities for the installation of bridge foundations in river/sea bridge construction in Korea. Existing caisson, sheet pile, and cell type cofferdam are widely used, but these methods take a lot of time and cost for installation and dismantling. In the case of the existing sheet pile construction method, attention is needed to secure internal and external stability because of the damage to the sheet pile due to ground penetration and difficulty in connecting element members. In this study, penetration design of circular steel pipes using suction pressure was performed on the soft ground of the west coast, and it was confirmed that penetration construction using suction pressure was possible through field tests. It was confirmed that applying the ground analysis results using the cone penetration test (CPT) to the design rather than the standard penetration test (N value) results more similar to the field test results. In addition, it was confirmed that local failure of the inside of the cofferdam was induced when a suction pressure higher than the upper limit suction pressure was applied in the silty sand.

Recently, earthquakes have occurred frequently in worldwide. These earthquakes cause various forms of natural and physical damage. In particular, liquefaction in which the ground shows liquid-like behavior causes great damage to the structure. Accordingly, various liquefaction damage reduction methods are being studied and developed. Therefore, in this study, a method of reducing liquefaction damage in the event of an earthquake applicable to existing structures was studied using the sheet pile method. The 1-G Shaking table test was performed and the ground was constructed with Jumunjin standard sand. A two-story model structure was produced by applying the similitude law, and the input wave applied a sine wave with an acceleration level of 0.6 g and a frequency of 10 Hz. The effect of reducing structure damage according to various embedded depth ratio was analyzed. As a result of the study, the structure settlement when the ground is reinforced by applying the sheet pile method is decreased by about 71% compared to when the ground is not reinforced, and the EDR with minimum settlement is "1". In addition, as the embedded depth ratio is increased, the calculation of the pore water pressure in the ground tends to be delayed due to the sheet pile. Based on these results, the relationship with structural settlement according to the embedded depth ratio is proposed as a relational equation with the graph. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data in developing sheet pile methods applicable to existing structures in the future.

In order to study the behavior of the sheet pile under vertical load in sands, model pile tests using calibration chamber are performed. For this research, five model piles, with the same section area and different degree of inclination of flange, were made. And model pile tests were conducted for each of these piles with different relative density and direction of applied load. For model pile which has the same shape, compression capacity is about 100% higher than pullout capacity and the difference increases with increasing relative density. Pullout ultimate capacity and corresponding displacement increase with increasing relative density and the pullout capacities remained almost the same irrespective of the inclination of flanges for the same density. The ultimate capacity under compression load is highest at 30$^{\circ}$ of inclination of flanges and the trend is more evident with increasing relative density. From the analysis of load distribution, the higher loading capacity at 30$^{\circ}$ of inclination of flanges with same section area may be attributed to the partial soil plug between flanges.

Based on the field measuring data obtained from excavation sections in Inchon International Airport project, the relationships between the horizontal displacement of sheet-pile walls and the deformations of soft ground around the excavation were investigated. The horizontal displacements of walls according to supporting method are largely occurred in order of anchors, anchors with struts, and struts. The depths of maximum horizontal displacement are varied with supporting systems. If the stability number shows lower than ${\pi}$, the maximum horizontal displacement and the velocity of maximum horizontal displacement are respectively developed less than 1% of excavation depth and 1mm/day. When the stability number shows lower than ${\pi}+2$, the maximum horizontal displacement and the velocity are respectively developed less than 2.5% of excavation depth and 2mm/day. Also, when the stability number shows more than ${\pi}+2$, the maximum horizontal displacement and the velocity are rapidly increased.

The JV method is an epochal civil engineering style that boasts of significant pile driving power through low-vibration works by ideally combining the high pressure water injected from the water jet cutter and the vibrations combining from the vibratory pile driver extractors. As a result, you are ensured stable and safe pile driving and extraction in bedrocks that were previously impossible with conventional machines and methods. The other advantage is its high performance and a low-pollution characteristis that is ensured by suppressing ground vibrations. This is a very important factor since it often becomes an issue upon civil engineering in the city. With the addition of this method. the range of steel pipe pile, steel sheet pile and other steel pile use has been drastically expanded. Other advantages of this method incldes accurate works, shortening of the construction period and improved work performance. Since the minimun amount of high pressure water is used to drill the ground, it not only loosens the ground, but also cuts the ground at the tip of the pile to improve driving works.

Steel piling for abutments of new and replacement bridges can be aesthetically attractive and cost effective. Use of embedded steel sheet piling brings savings in dead load, provides a compliant retaining wall, and permits speedier construction. In addition, for replacement bridge projects, traffic interruption can be minimized. It is hoped that this study will encourage designers and constructors to consider a steel substructure option more frequently during the conceptual and preliminary design phases of projects and thereby to take advantage of the Potential to construction more efficiently.
