도심지 구간에 위치한 지반공학 관련 공사 현장에서는 충분한 안전율 확보와 더불어 사용성도 확보해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 공사 중 인접지반에 발생하는 변형을 제어해야 하므로 지반구조물과 관련된 기술 요구사항도 더욱 높아지고 있다. 사용성 확보를 위해서는 지반의 변형을 예측해야 하므로 지반의 강성을 분석해야 한다. 특히 강성의 비선형성과 이방성은 주요인자라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 깊은 굴착 중 지반이 경험하는 응력경로에 따른 강성의 비선형성과 이방성에 대해 실내시험 결과와 전산 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 강성은 변형률이 작은 미소변형률 구간에서 비선형성이 두드러졌으며, 응력경로에도 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 실내시험 결과 압축은 작은 강성을 인장은 큰 강성을 나타내었으며, 깊은 굴착 시 지지벽체 뒤는 압축이 앞은 인장이 지배적인 응력경로를 나타내었다. 굴착 중 발생하는 지반의 변형을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 지반이 경험하는 응력경로에 따라 변하는 강성의 변화 특성을 고려해야 한다.

풍력발전기의 안정성 평가를 위해 수행하는 통합하중해석에서 기초는 하중과 변위의 관계로 정의되는 기초강성을 입력하여 적용이 가능하다. 이때 기초의 형상과 지반의 조건이 정확하게 반영된 기초의 강성이 적용되어야 하므로, 지반의 탄소성 거동을 정밀하게 반영한 버킷기초의 강성 산정방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 사질토의 마찰각과 버킷기초 형상에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하여 기초의 강성을 산정하였으며, 해석결과로부터 정규화된 기초강성 매트릭스가 제안되었다. 제안된 버킷기초의 강성 산정방법은 설계에 직접 적용될 수 있는 유용한 결과라고 판단된다.

In Korea, there are recently many attempts to expand a temporary soil nailing system into a permanent soil nailing system since the first construction in 1993. In the downtown area, it is important that the relaxation of the ground is minimized in the ground excavation works. Due to these problems, soil nailing systems are often used the flexible facing such as shotcrete rather than the rigid facing such as SCW, CIP, and jet grout types in Korea. The soil nailing systems with rigid facings are used greatly however it is insufficient researches for design and analysis of soil nailing systems with rigid facings. In this study, various laboratory model tests are carried out to examining the influence the rigidity of facings on the global safety of soil nailing system, failure loads, displacement behaviour, axial force acting on the nails, and distribution of earth pressure. Also, the parametric studies are carried out for the typical section of soil nailed walls according to thickness of concrete facings and internal friction angle of soil using the numerical technique as shear strength reduction technique.

This study proposes a simple method that uses a simple mass-spring model to predict the natural frequency of a soil-pile-structure system in sandy soil. This model includes a pair of matrixes, i.e., a mass matrix and a stiffness matrix. The mass matrix is comprised of the masses of the pile and superstructure, and the stiffness matrix is comprised of the stiffness of the pile and the spring coefficients between the pile and soil. The key issue in the evaluation of the natural frequency of a soil-pile system is the determination of the spring coefficient between the pile and soil. To determine the reasonable spring coefficient, subgrade reaction modulus, nonlinear p-y curves and elastic modulus of the soil were utilized. The location of the spring was also varied with consideration of the infinite depth of the pile. The natural frequencies calculated by using the mass-spring model were compared with those obtained from 1-g shaking table model pile tests. The comparison showed that the calculated natural frequencies match well with the results of the 1-g shaking table tests within the range of computational error when the three springs, whose coefficients were calculated using Reese's(1974) subgrade reaction modulus and Yang's (2009) dynamic p-y backbone curves, were located above the infinite depth of the pile.

본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 기초지반의 강성과 상재하중이 블록식 보강토 옹벽에 미치는 영향을 고찰한 내용을 다루었다. 이를 위해 기초지반의 강성과 상재하중의 위치를 변화시키며 매개변수 연구를 수행하였으며 해석결과에서는 벽체의 변위와 보강재의 유발인장력은 기초지반의 강성이 감소함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 해석결과에 따르면 현재 설계기준에서 적용되고 있는 상재하중 처리 방법은 경우에 따라서 상재하중의 영향을 지나치게 과대평가 하는 것으로 나타났으며 상재하중이 보강영역에 근접하여 작용할 경우 외적안정성 검토시 주의를 요하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과가 실무적 측면에서 의미하는 바를 심도 있게 고찰하였다.

In this paper, a comparative study of the effects of soil modelling on the interaction between tunnelling in soft soil and adjacent piled structure is presented. Several three-dimensional finite element analyses are performed to study the deformation of pile caps and piles as well as tunnel internal forces during the construction of an underground tunnel. The soil is modelled by two material models: the simple, yet approximate Mohr Coulomb (MC) yield criterion; and the complex, but reasonable hardening soil (HS) model with hyperbolic relation between stress and strain. For the former model, two different values of the soil stiffness modulus ($E_{50}$ or $E_{ur}$) as well as two profiles of stiffness variation with depth (constant and linearly increasing) were used in attempts to improve its prediction. As these four attempts did not succeed, a hybrid representation in which the hardening soil is used for soil located at the highly-strained zones while the Mohr Coulomb model is utilized elsewhere was investigated. This hybrid representation, which is a compromise between rigorous and simple solutions yielded results that compare well with those of the hardening soil model. The compared results include pile cap movements, pile deformation, and tunnel internal forces. Problem symmetry is utilized and, therefore, one symmetric half of the soil medium, the tunnel boring machine, the face pressure, the final tunnel lining, the pile caps, and the piles are modelled in several construction phases.

In this paper, unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced soil foundations were modeled by discrete element method and this performed under surface strip footing loads. The effects of horizontal position of geogrid, vertical position, thickness, number, confining pressure have been investigated on the footing settlement and propagation of tensile force along the geogrids. Also, interaction between rectangular tunnel and strip footing with and without presence of geogrid layer has been analyzed. Experimental results of the literature were used to validation of relationships between the numerically achieved footing pressure-settlement for foundations of reinforced and unreinforced soil. Models and micro input parameters which used in the numerical modelling of reinforced and unreinforced soil tunnel were similar to parameters which were used in soil foundations. Model dimension was 1000 mm* 600 mm. Normal and shear stiffness of soils were 5*10⁵ and 2.5 *10⁵ N/m, respectively. Normal and shear stiffness of geogrid were 1*10⁹ and 1*10⁹ N/m, respectively. Loading rate was 0.001 mm/sec. Micro input parameters used in numerical simulation gain by try and error. In addition of the quantitative tensile force propagation along the geogrids, the footing settlements were visualized. Due to collaboration of three layers of geogrid reinforcements the bearing capacity of the reinforced soil tunnel was greatly improved. In such practical reinforced soil formations, the qualitative displacement propagations of soil particles in the soil tunnel and the quantitative vertical displacement propagations along the soil layers/geogrids represented the geogrid reinforcing impacts too.

The soil nailing system at permanent slope reinforcement is used with various facing methods in Korea. Also, pressure-injected grout technique is variously applied to many structures. However, most design of the pressure-injected grout technique have been carried out empirically because of complicated mechanisms associated with the behavior of surrounding soils and the hardening process of cement grout. Therefore this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the PGSN (Pressure Grouting Soil Nailing) system with fabric form is developed to increase the global stability. Up to now, the PGSN system has been estimated mainly focusing on an establishment of the design procedure. In the present study, numerical study are carried out to evaluate potential failure surface and minimum factor of safety including facing stiffness and expanded radius of cemented grout by SSR (Shear Strength Reduction) technique. Also, results of numerical analysis are carried out for the typical section of soil nails slope using $FLAC^{2D}$ program for expanded effective radius by pressure grouting.

Soil compaction works are essential to construction of dams, breakwaters and roads in order to avoid unexpected settlement/deformation of superstructures. Taking advantage of oscillating accelerometer, this research was made to complement existing methods for assessment of soil stiffness. In order to examine the validity of compaction-degree suggested in the study, tests on vibration characteristics using accelerometers was also performed. Test results for sand and gravel mixtures and Korean standard sands were compared and evaluated by conventional assessment methods under varying conditions as of input frequency, size of loading plate and relative density.

This paper presents a numerical model for buckling analysis of slender piles, such as micropiles. The model incorporates geometric nonlinearities to provide enhanced accuracy and a more comprehensive representation of pile buckling behavior. Specifically, the pile is represented using geometrically nonlinear beams with the von Karman deformation measure. The lateral support provided by the surrounding soil is modeled using the spring approach, with the spring stiffness determined according to the undrained shear strength of the soil. The numerical model is tested across a wide range of pile slenderness ratios and undrained shear strengths of the surrounding soil. The numerical results are validated against analytical solutions. Furthermore, the influence of various pile bottom end boundary conditions on the critical buckling force is investigated. The implications of the obtained results are thoroughly discussed.
