Ths paper was aimed to investigate the effect of reinforcement for the deformation characteristics of clayey foundation. Among numerous improvement method of foundation, only geotextil-reinforced foundation and foundation with both geotextile and sand mat which were 2-dimensional model clayey foundations were selected for load test in order to obtain fundamental results in analizing the behavior of the foundation with geotextile. To scrutinize the behavior characteristics and effect of reinforcement, the model foundations were constructed with various conditions on the location of layout of geotextile, the number of layouts and the depth of sand mat As for the technique of the numerical analysis elasto-plastic constitutive model for clayey soil, beam element for geotextile and elastic model for sand were respectively employed. Interface element was introduced for the block between materials with different rigidity. Observed values and numerical results were compared with satisfactory correspondence, which proved that the numercial technique developed in this paper was available.

실무에서 교량 교각의 내진해석을 수행할 때 계산의 편의와 보수적인 설계를 위하여 기초의 연성을 고려하지 않고 지반면을 고정단으로 가정하여 해석하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 고정단 모델은 대부분의 경우 설계력 측면에서 매우 보수적인 결과를 주므로, 최근 기초의 연성을 고려하여 현실적으로 교각 기초를 모델링하려는 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기초연성의 모델링 방법, 입력응답스펙트럼의 종류 그리고 지반조건을 달리하여 응답스펙트럼 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석을 통하여 교각에 발생하는 전단력, 모멘트 그리고 변위를 비교하여 기초의 연성을 고려하는 기법과 지반 및 지진파 특성들이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대부분의 경우 고정단 모델에서 큰 전단력과 모멘트가 발생하였지만, 연약 점성토층에 장주기 지진파가 작용하는 특수한 경우에는 기초의 연성을 고려한 모델에서 고정단 모델보다 큰 전단력과 모멘트가 발생하였다. 또한 기초의 연성을 고려하는 여러 모델들의 해석결과를 지반-구조물 동적 상호작용을 고려한 정밀 동해석 결과와 비교하여 그들의 적용성을 평가하였다.

This paper presents the results of plate load test and dynamic load test performed to evaluate the performance of geocell where it is used to reinforce soft subgrade for high-speed railroad. Efficacy of geocell was observed in increase in bearing capacity of subgrade and reduction of thickness of reinforced sub-ballast. Plate load tests were carried out at four different places with varying foundation soil strength as a function of number of geocell layer, type of filler material, thickness of cover soil, and the presence of non-woven geotextile. Dynamic load tests were performed in a laboratory. The test soil chamber consists of, from the bottom, 50 cm thick clayey soil, one layer of geocell filled with crushed stone, 10 cm thick crushed stone cover, reinforced sub-ballast of varying thickness, 35 cm thick ballast. This configuration was determined based on the results of numerical analysis and plate load tests. For each set of the dynamic load tests, loads were applied more than 80,000 times. One layer of geocell underlying a 10 cm thick cover soil led to an increase in bearing capacity three to four times compared to a crushed stone layer of the same thickness substituted for the geocell and cover soil layer. Given the test conditions, the thickness of reinforced sub-ballast can be reduced by approximately 35 cm with the presence of geocell.

Applicability of constructing piled raft foundations on soft clay has been given attention in recent years. Lack of sufficient stiffness for soil and thus excessive settlements to allow higher contribution of piles is the major concern in this regard. This paper presents a numerical investigation of performance of piled-raft foundations on soft clay with focusing on a case study. A 3D FEM numerical model is developed using ABAQUS. The model was calibrated by comparing physical and numerical modeling results of other researchers. Then the possibility of using piled-raft system in construction of foundation for a water storage tank in Sarbandar, Iran is assessed. Soil strength parameters in the numerical model were calibrated using the instrumentation data of a heavily instrumented preloading project at the construction site. The results indicate that choosing the proper combination of length and spacing for piles can lead to acceptable differential and total settlements while a high percentage of total bearing capacity of piles can be mobilized, which is an efficient solution for the project. Overall, the construction of piled-rafts on soft clays is promising as long as the total settlement of the structure is not imposing restrictions such as the common 25 mm allowable settlement. But instead, if higher allowable settlements are adopted, for example in the case of rigid steel tanks, the method shall be applicable with considerable cost savings.

Reinforcement with geotextiles have been used in the foundation soil to enhance the resistance of embankments to avoid failure through excessive deformation or shear in the foundation. It is improtant to know the amount of the strain and the displacement of buried geotextiles for the verification of the reinforcement behaviour. Full scale trial constructions were performed to check the deformational characteristics of the polyester(PET) mat which was used for the embankment reinforcement. Many instrumentation equipments including surface settlement plates, profile gauges and inclinometer casings were installed to observe the behaviour of the soft ground due to the soil embankment. 60 electrical resistance strain gauges and 9 vibrating wire LVDTs were installed 세 measure the deformation of the polyester mat. Results of various tests and geotextile, waterproofing and protection from the hazard environments were introduced. The proposed instrumentation method was effective for the monitoring or the geotextile behaviour. The direct attachment of electrical resistance strain gauges on the gertextile mat was able to measure small changes of the strain of geotextiles. At the end of the 5 month monitoring, 54 of 60 (93%) strain gauges and 7 of 9 (78%) displacement transducers survived all perils of the compaction impacts and the humidity. And the tensile strain of grotextiles increased as the ground displacement became larger. Though the observed strain of mats under the 3m high embankment load was less than 1%, the magnitudes of the strain according to the mat spreading method were different from each other.

This study is a suggest a measurement method of lateral displacement, which can be used to judge the stability of bridge abutment on soil undergoing lateral movement. The abutment of bridge on soft foundation makes lateral movement due to the settlement of back fill and lateral flow. To measure the displacement of such a abutment, there are a lot of indirect method for measurement such as survey of leveling or inclinometer gauge around the abutment. But all of them are not sufficient to confirm the ground behavior and measure the exact lateral behavior of structure. As making the structure and pile cooperatively by measuring the movement of lateral displacement, for measuring the abutment displacement precisely by using the inclinometer. In this work, we try to suggest efficient measuring method of abutment displacement and its application.

CGS(Compaction Grouting System) is widely used in reinforcement of structural foundation and ground improvement in soft ground. But the effects of ground improvement depending on the type of soil must be studied in order to adopt in various soils (granular soil and cohesive soil). In this study, characteristics of ground improvement (the increase of N value, increase in unit weight, vertical displacement on the ground surface) by CGS method was compared through two cases that were performed in granular and cohesive soil. The results show that the closer to the grout hole, the more increase in N value and this trend appear distinctly in granular soil. Unit weight of ground increase largely near by the grout hole and decrease in far from it independently of the soil type. The vertical displacement on the ground surface appeared in smaller area in case of granular soil than cohesive soil.

연약지반에 위치한 교대의 기초로서 말뚝기초를 채택할 경우 교대배면의 연약지반에는 측방유동같은 문제등이 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 지반이 측방유동을 일으킬 경우 기초말뚝은 전형적인 수동말뚝임에도 불구하고 교대기초말뚝의 설계시 수동말뚝으로 설계되지 않고 있다. 이러한 이유로는 측방유동의 정확한 판정이 어려운 점과 현재까지 합리적인 설계법이 확립되지 않은점 등을 들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 측방이동이 발생된 우리나라의 몇몇 교대를 조사하였다. 이 조사에 의거하여 연약지반의 측방유동 판정 및 교대의 측방이동을 예측할 수 있는 판정기준을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구결과 사면안전율이 말뚝효과를 고려할 결우 1.8이하, 말뚝효과를 무시한 경우 1.5이하에서는 교대측방이동이 발생할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 사면안전율이 말뚝효과를 무시한 경우 1.0이하, 말뚝효과를 고려할 경우 1.1 이하에서는 과대한 교대측방이동이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교대의 허용측방이동량을 5cm라고 하면 사면의 소요안전율은 1.4(말뚝효과를 무시한 경우) 혹은 1.6(말뚝효과를 고려한 경우)이상이 되어야 한다.

최근에 해상 풍력발전기의 기초구조물로 석션 버켓기초가 적용되고 있다. 그런데, 석션기초는 보통 해양 연약지반에 설치되므로 장기 반복하중에 의해 누적변위가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 1-g 모형실험을 수행하여 장기 수평 반복하중을 받는 석션 버켓기초의 누적 회전각을 분석하였다. 지반조건은 2가지 밀도의 건조 사질토 지반에 대하여 실험하였다. 모형석션 버켓기초의 근입깊이, 모형지반의 밀도, 반복하중의 크기를 변화시키며 실험을 수행하였다. 수평 반복하중은 일방향 재하로 최대 $10^4$번까지 재하하였다. 실험결과, 석션 버켓기초의 누적회전각은 재하횟수와 재하진폭이 증가에 비례하여 증가하였다. 실험결과를 이용하여 건조 사질토 지반에 근입된 석션 버켓기초의 장기 누적회전각을 산정할 수 있는 경험식을 제안하였다.

The problems associated with constructing high-speed concrete track embankments over soft compressible soil has lead to the development and/or extensive use of many of the ground improvement techniques used today. Drains, surcharge loading, and geosynthetic reinforcement, have all been used to solve the settlement and embankment stability issues associated with construction on soft soils. However, when time constraints are critical to the success of the project, owners have resorted to another innovative approach. Especially, the design criteria of residual settlement is limited as 30mm for concrete track embankment, it is very difficult to satisfy this standard using the former construction method. Pile net method consist of vertical columns that are designed to transfer the load of the embankment through the soft compressible soil layer to a firm foundation and one or more layers of geosynthetic reinforcement placed between the top of the columns and the bottom of the embankment. This paper will present the guidelines for the design of pile net method to supported embankments. These guidelines were developed based on a review of current design methodologies and a parametric study of design variables using numerical modeling.
