Observed field behaviors are frequently different from the behaviors predicted in the design state due to several uncertainties involved in soil properties, numerical modelling, and error of measuring system even though a sophisticated numerical analysis technique is applied to solve the consolidation behavior of drainage-installed soft deposits. In this study, genetic algorithms are applied to back-analyze the soil properties using the observed behavior of soft clay deposit composed of multi layers that shows complex consolidation characteristics. Utilizing the program, one might be able to appropriately predict the subsequent consolidation behavior from the measured data in an early stage of consolidation of multi layered soft deposits. Example analyses for drainage-installed multi-layered soft deposits are performed to examine the applicability of proposed back-analysis method.

관개용 저수지의 퇴사량 추정을 위해 총 유실량-유사운송비법을 적용하고 대상 저수지의 유사 포착효율을 추정하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 관개용 저수지 20개를 선정하여 실측자료를 구하고 도양유실량식(Universal Soil Loss Equation, USLE)를 이용하여 저수지 유역의 연평균 토양유실량을 산정하였다. 총토양유실량은 경사지 토양유실량과 하도 유실량으로부터 정의되며 유사운송비를 적용하여 저수지 유입유사량을 정하였다. 저수지 포착효율을 적용한 추정 저수지 퇴사량과 특정 퇴사량자룔를 비교한 결과 대체로 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 저수지 포착효율은 퇴사량의 유입토사에 대한 비로서 본 연구의 결과가 Brune값과 비교하여 20% 정도의 오차를 보였으며 이를 개선한 관개용 저수지 포착효율 추정식을 제안하였다.

The high Fe and Mn contents in riverbank filtered groundwater often provoke problems on the water quality, We analyzed the mineral and chemical compositions of the soil samples taken from the different depths of the fluvial deposits at various locations in the riverbank filtration area, Daesan-Myeon. The groundwater chemistry data were also collected from the equivalent depths with the soil samples at the boreholes in July and December, 2005. The relationships between the enrichment characteristics of Fe and Mn in the groundwater and the mineralogical and physicochemical properties of the fluvial deposits were carefully analyzed. The results indicate that the Fe and Mn contents in the groundwater vary with seasonally and show different enrichment behaviors.

Terrace deposits are often encountered in portal areas and tunnels with low overburden. They are challenging to excavate considering their great mechanical and spatial heterogeneity and a very high stiffness contrast within the ground. Terrace deposits are difficult to characterize, considering that samples for laboratory testing are almost unfeasible to obtain, and laboratory tests may not be representative due to scale effects. This paper presents the approach taken for their characterization during the design stage and their posterior validation performed during construction. Lessons learned from several tunnels excavated on terrace deposits on the Bogota-Villavicencio road (central-east Colombia), suggest that based on numerical simulations, laboratory testing and tunnel system behaviour monitoring, an observational approach allows engineers to optimize the excavation and support methods for the encountered ground conditions, resulting in a more economic and safe construction.

In this thesis, from the results of settlement measurement performed at the site where embankment earthwork was carried out on the ground consisting of highly plastic and silty soft soils interlayered with organic deposits, various methods of predicting the embankment settlement such as Hoshino's method, Asaoka's method, hyperbolic method, ${\sqrt{s}}$ method and Monden's method were used to investigate their applicability and the inverse method of finding the soil parameter related to consolidation was used to predict the consolidation behavior in the future. It was confirmed that reliable prediction of consolidation behavior under various conditions could be done to estimate soil parameter related to consolidation such as the consolidation index and consolidation coefficient by the inverse method of comparing the measured settlement with the predicted value by the settlement prediction methods.

Piles passing through sloping liquefiable deposits are prone to lateral loading if these deposits liquefy and flow during earthquakes. These lateral loads caused by the relative soil-pile movement will induce bending in the piles and may result in failure of the piles or excessive pile-head displacement. Whilst the weak nature of the flowing liquefied soil would suggest that only small loads would be exerted on the piles, it is known from case histories that piles do fail owing to the influence of laterally spreading soils. It will be shown, based on dynamic centrifuge test data, that dilatant behaviour of soil close to the pile is the major cause of these considerable transient lateral loads which are transferred to the pile. This paper reports the results of geotechnical centrifuge tests in which models of gently sloping liquefiable sand with pile foundations passing through them were subjected to earthquake excitation. The soil close to the pile was instrumented with pore-pressure transducers and contact stress cells in order to monitor the interaction between soil and pile and to track the soil stress state both upslope and downslope of the pile. The presence of instrumentation measuring pore-pressure and lateral stress close to the pile in the research described in this paper gives the opportunity to better study the soil stress state close to the pile and to compare the loads measured as being applied to the piles by the laterally spreading soils with those suggested by the JRA design code. This test data shows that lateral stresses much greater than one might expect from calculations based on the residual strength of liquefied soil may be applied to piles in flowing liquefied slopes owing to the dilative behaviour of the liquefied soil. It is shown at least for the particular geometry studied that the current JRA design code can be un-conservative by a factor of three for these dilation-affected transient lateral loads.

본 연구는 경안천 유역에 발달한 유물 지형인 하성면의 퇴적층을 모재로 하여 형성된 토양 특성을 밝히는 데 있다. 조사 지점의 적색토의 A층은 적갈색(5YR/4/3)의 미사질식토로 발달도가 미약한 아각괴상 내지 입상 구조이다. B층은 황적색(5YR4/3) 내지 명적색(2.5YR4/6)의 미사질식토로 발달도가 약한 아각괴상 구조를 보이며 적색의 점토 피막과 망간결핵이 나타나는 점토 집적층의 특징을 갖는 argillie층이다. 토층은 $A_1-B_{1t}-B_{2t}-C$ 층으로 되어있다. 하성 고위면의 퇴적층을 모재로 발달한 본토양은 과거 제4기의 온난한 생물기후 상태하에서 이루어진 강력한 탈규산화 작용과 염기용탈 및 적색토화 작용에 의하여 생성된 고적색토의 일종으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 적색토는 현재보다 온난한 생물-기후상태하에서 탈규산화를 동반하는 적색토화 작용에 의하여 형성된 고적색토로 판단된다.

Dissected erosional surfaces are widely distributed in the western part of Korea (e.g. Icheon, Chungju, Jecheon, Seosan). The deposits with thickness of less than 2m occur on the smooth bedrock surface are composed of poorly sorted subangular gravels with less than 20cm diameter. However, only weathered mantle of granites without the gravel layer are observed at some outcrops. The results of grain size analysis of deposits of Icheon district revealed that the characteristic of the gain size distribution is very similar with the results of sheetflood deposits presented by Blair (1999) in the Death Valley. Loess layer with buried soil layers of MIS7 covers the sheetflood deposits. The loess layer implies that the sheetflood deposits occurred before MIS7 based on the typical Loess sequences presented by Naruse et al.(2003). On the other hand, the climate of Korean Peninsula in MIS2 was very dry and cold (Yoon and Hwnag, 2003) by pollen analysis. This is because Yellow Sea was completely emerged during the MIS2(e.g. Sau\ito, 1998). So, it is thought that the climate in Korean Peninsula of not only MIS2 but also other glacial ages such as MIS8 was similar with present Mongolian climates. Tanaka et al.(2005) pointed out that Hortonian overlandflow occurs in grass vegetated granite basin in Mongolia. Therefore, dissected piedmont gentle slopes in the western Korea were possibly formed by sheetflood erosion during probably MIS8 as pediment widely distributed in Mongolia.

With rapid economic growth, numerous deep excavation projects for high-rise buildings and subway transportation networks have been constructed in the past two decades. Deep excavations particularly in thick deposits of soft clay may cause excessive ground movements and thus result in potential damage to adjacent buildings and supporting utilities. Extensive plane strain finite element analyses considering small strain effect have been carried out to examine the wall deflections for excavations in soft clay deposits supported by diaphragm walls and bracings. The excavation geometrical parameters, soil strength and stiffness properties, soil unit weight, the strut stiffness and wall stiffness were varied to study the wall deflection behaviour. Based on these results, a multivariate adaptive regression splines model was developed for estimating the maximum wall deflection. Parametric analyses were also performed to investigate the influence of the various design variables on wall deflections.

To calculate proper seismic design load and seismic design category, the exact site class for construction site is required. At present, the average shear-wave velocity for multi-layer soil deposits is calculated by the sum of shear-wave velocities without considering of vertical relationship of the strata. In this study, the transfer function for the multi-layered soil deposits was reviewed on the basis of the wave propagation theory. Also, the transfer function was accurately verified by the finite element model and the eigenvalue analysis. Three methods for site period estimation were evaluated. The sum of shear-wave velocities underestimated the average shear-wave velocities of 526 strata with large deviations. The equation of Mexican code overestimated the average shear-wave velocities. The equation of Japanese code well estimated the average shear-wave velocities with small deviation.
