Foundation soils are greatly influenced on the stability of structures. The soft clay deposited in Incheon Port area is named either nomally consolidated clay or unconsolidated clay. New harbor structures will be constructed in Incheon Port area. Not sufficient soil boring datum are obtained from the filed soil exploration due to limited time and cost. The harbor construct site is pretty large area and the soils are not homogenous. This paper presented the result of reliability analysis which was performed by both Bayesian approach and analysis of variance.

Land was reclaimed at the waterfront in the Pluit area of Jakarta for a 90ha residential-cum-recreational development. The reclamation works involve construction of permanent and temporary dykes, fill placement, soil improvement, dredging of internal canals and marina, and construction of canal revetment. The site lies on 16m to 18m thick soft seabed deposits. Settlement of the reclaimed areas will result as a consequence of consolidation of the soft underlying sediments. In order to reduce post-construction settlement to within acceptable levels, a system of vertical drains and preloading was adopted. This paper describes the use of Fibredrain, a prefabricated vertical drain made of jute and coir fibres developed at the National University of Singapore, in the soil improvement works and a secondary use in the construction of perimeter dykes for the reclamation works. The construction of the perimeter dyke must be carried out in such a way that slope stability is on ensured. Bamboo rafts and bamboo clusters with Fibredrain inserted, and stage construction were employed to improve stability during the dyke formation for the Pantai Mutiara project.

The Inchon International Airport site was formed by reclaimed soil from the sea. The average thickness of soft soil Is about 5 m and most of soft soils are normally consolidated or slightly over consolidated. There are many box culverts which are being constructed under the runways in the airfield. Sometimes, differential settlement can be occurred in the adjacent of box culvert or underground structures at the top layer of runway Soil compaction at very near to the structure is not easy all the time. Thus, one layer of geogrid was placed at the bottom of lean concrete layer for the concrete paved runway and at the middle of cement stabilized sub-base course layer for the asphalt paved runway. The length of geogrid reinforcement is 5m from the end of box culvert for both sides. The extended length of geogrid was 2m from the end of backfill soil in the box culvert. The tensile strength tests of geogrid were conducted for make sure the chemical compatibility with cement treated sub-base material. The location of geogrid placement for the concrete paved runway was evaluated. The construction damage to the geogrid could be occurred. Because the cement treated sub-base layer or lean concrete was spread by the finisher. The magnitude of tensile strength reduction was 1.16%~1.90% due to the construction damage and the ultimate tensile strength is maintained with the specification required. Total area of geogrid placement in this project is about 50,000 $m^2$.

This study evaluates the seismic fragilities in fill slopes in South Korea through parametric finite element analyses that have been barely investigated thus far. We consider three slope geometries for a slope of height 10 m and three slope angles, and two soil types, namely frictional and frictionless, associated with two soil states, loose and dense for frictional soils and soft and stiff for frictionless soils. The input ground motions accounting for four site conditions in South Korea are obtained from one-dimensional site response analyses. By comparing the numerical modeling of slopes using PLAXIS^2D against the previous studies, we compiled suites of the maximum permanent slope displacement (D_max) against two ground motion parameters, namely, peak ground acceleration (PGA) and Arias Intensity (I_A). A probabilistic seismic demand model is adopted to compute the probabilities of exceeding three limit states (minor, moderate, and extensive). We propose multiple seismic fragility curves as functions of a single ground motion parameter and numerous seismic fragility surfaces as functions of two ground motion parameters. The results show that soil type, slope angle, and input ground motion influence these probabilities, and are expected to help regional authorities and engineers assess the seismic fragility of fill slopes in the road systems in South Korea.

Foundation systems in urban sites are often necessary to be constructed with little vibrations and displacements to surroundings. In order to assess applicability of a new foundation system for urban sites based on soil-cement mixing technique, vibrations and displacements induced by soil-cement construction process is evaluated. Soil-cement columns were constructed to reinforce soft ground near an old masonry wall in an urban redevelopment site, and the vibrations and displacements of the old masonry wall during construction were measured. Results indicate that the vibrations and displacements induced by soil-cement construction were little and not critical to the stability of the masonry wall.

근단층 지역에 위치한 교량은 근단층지반운동에 대한 내진안전성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반이 두껍고 다양한 지층으로 구성된 지역에 건설되는 단일형 현장타설말뚝 교량의 지진거동특성과 내진안전성을 분석하였다. 근단층지반운동을 생성하고 지반해석을 수행하여 각 지층에서의 지반가속도이력을 산정하였다. 이 가속도이력을 이용하여 각 지층의 지반을 등가스프링으로 모델화하고, 각 지층에서의 가속도시간이력을 입력지반운동으로 하는 다지점 가진 지진해석을 수행하였다. 근단층지반운동의 특성으로 인하여 교량은 탄성영역 내에서 거동하였지만 최대모멘트의 발생 위치 등이 설계지반운동을 고려할 때와는 상이한 특성을 보였다.

Recently, piezocone penetration test is frequently conformed in order to estimate the characteristics of soft ground with standard penetration test, generally used in the past. The soil characteristics, such as cone penetration resistance, friction resistence and excessive pore water pressure, can be evaluated continuously through the piezocone penetration test. In Incheon International Airport 2nd phase site preparation, standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test were used in order to increase the confidence for determination of soft ground depth. And the compressible layer was determined by the comparison between the preconsolidation pressure and the designed increase pressure. As the results, the relation between standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test shows q$_{c}$=(1.09~l.63)N at the soft ground, determined by 5/30 N value. And q$_{c}$=(1.21~l.98)N was shown at the point of compressible layer, evaluated by the preconsolidation pressure. These results were applied to determination for the depth of soft ground and to design the improvement for the soft clay.lay.

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.
