When deep excavation adjacent to an existing structure is performed, it is very important to minimize damage on the structure through the prediction of ground movement. In this paper, finite element analysis was performed to predict the ground movement, based on the data from site investigation and laboratory tests, when deep excavation close to a buried water tank was carried out in soft clay ground. The movement and stabilities of the soil-cement wall(SCW) and the adjacent structure were checked using the results of the analysis and the field measurement. The comparison between the measured and the predicted ground movements showed the significance of the excavation procedure and lowering of water level in the analytical model. In the future, it is needed to improve the prediction method for better estimation of the ground movement.

최근 아스팔트 혼합물의 배합설계법은 기존에 주로 사용하던 빔 및 마샬 배합설계법에서 수퍼페이브 배합설계법으로 점차적으로 바뀌고 있는 추세이다. 수퍼페이브의 배합설계과정에서 중요한 사항 중의 하나는 선회다짐기를 사용하는 다짐방법이다. 아스팔트 포장은 노상 위에 보조기층, 기층, 표층의 순으로 구성되는데 노상은 포장 아래 약 1.0 m의 흙부분으로 포장과 일체로 구성되며 포장체에 작용하는 하중을 최종적으로 지지하는 층이다. 따라서, 수퍼페이브 배합설계법에서 사용하는 선회다짐기를 포장과 일체로 구성되는 노상의 다짐시험에도 적용한다면 각각의 포장층에 같은 원리의 다짐방법을 적용한다는 큰 의미가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 일반 노상토에 시멘트와 플라이애시를 첨가한 강화노상토를 선회다짐기를 이용하여 시편을 제작하였고, 각 시편에 대한 탄성계수를 1축압축시험, 공진주시험, LFWD를 이용해 각각 측정하여 각 결과물들의 상관관계를 추정하고자 한다.

Poor compaction of subgrade soil causes low stiffness and bearing capacity of sublayers so that faulting and differential settlements can be generated between new and old pavement surfaces in case of widening works. However, investigation of verifying the reason of producing the defects in the pavements are not performed in detail. In this study, several in-field tests including PMT and PBT were performed for obtaining stiffness of the sublayers in new and old pavements respectively of an widening project. Then, based on the obtained stiffness values and the measured deformations obtained by specially designed tilt meters, the main reasons of generating different deformations between the old and new pavement sections and the relationship between the deformation and stiffness are verified.

Dc resistivity monitoring has been increasingly used in order to understand the changes of subsurface conditions in terms of conductivity. The commonly adopted interpretation approach which separately inverts time-lapse data may generate inversion artifacts due to measurement error. Eventually the contaminated error amplifies the artifacts when reconstructing the difference images to quantitatively estimate the change of ground condition. In order to alleviate the problems, we defined the subsurface structure as four dimensional (4-D) space-time model and developed 4-D inversion algorithm which can calculate the reasonable subsurface structure continuously changing in time even when the material properties change during data measurements. In this paper, we discussed two case histories of resistivity monitoring to study the ground condition change when the properties of the subsurface material were artificially altered by injecting conductive materials into the ground: (1) dye tracer experiment to study the applicability of electrical resistivity tomography to monitoring of water movement in soil profile and (2) the evaluation of cement grouting performed to reinforce the ground. Through these two case histories, we demonstrated that the 4-D resistivity imaging technique is very powerful to precisely delineate the change of ground condition. Particularly owing to the 4-D inversion algorithm, we were able to reconstruct the history of the change of subsurface material property.

After researching the physical properties of the concrete included Rice Husk Ash(RHA concrete) and workability of fresh concrete admixed RHA, we have tested durability of RHA-concrete against freeaing and thawing in the winter using rapid freezing and thawing test method(KS F 2456) . There aretwo hypotheses to explain the failure mechanism of a freezing and thawing action. First, the hydraulic pressure in the pores of freezing concrete make an internal stress of concrete structures outbreaking micro crack in the face of concrete, Second, Frost action causing damage to cement paste repeatedly come from soil frost action, freezing water in the capillaries. Initial Relative Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (DME) was biggest in cae of unit binder weight 600kgf/㎥ and relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased until 300cycles. In general , initial relative DME was proportional to unit binder weight . Relative DME was decreased in proportion to unit binder weight in the case of 300, 400, 500kgf/㎥ , but relative DME fo the others remained more than 90% until 300 cycles. It was not good effect of intermixed RHA to concrete in case of below unit binder weight 300kgf/㎥ and the resistance of freezing and thawing was not good either.

Although high pressure discharge method is widely used for improving soft ground, it has various problems including lack of strength increase and the possibility of water pollution and soil contamination. MJM(Morta Jet Method) uses sand in addition to cement as the injection material. MJM uses triple rods with a built-in nozzle that allows easier discharge of the slime, resulting in higher replacement area ratio and more uniform formation of pillar hydrates, and thus results in significant increase in strength. MJM is expected to perform especially well as piles in marine clays. This study investigates the field applicability of the MJM through extensive laboratory and field tests.

The rate of softening is an important factor to determine whether the failure occurs along localized shear band or in a more diffused manner. In this paper, strength loss and softening rate effect depending on sensitivity are investigated for weakly cemented clays, for both artificially cemented high plasticity San Francisco Bay Mud and low plasticity Yolo Loam. Destructuration and softening behavior for weakly cemented sensitive clays are demonstrated and discussed through multiple vane shear tests. Artificial sensitive clays are prepared in the laboratory for physical modeling or constitutive modeling using a small amount of cement (2 to 5%) with controlled initial water content and curing period. Through test results, shear band thickness is theoretically computed and the rate of softening is represented as a newly introduced parameter, ${\omega}_{80%}$. Consequently, it is found that the softening rate increases with sensitivity for weakly cemented sensitive clays. Increased softening rate represents faster strength loss to residual state and faster minimizing of shear band thickness. Uncemented clay has very low softening rate to 80% strength drop. Also, it is found that higher brittleness index ($I_b$) relatively shows faster softening rate. The result would be beneficial to study of physical modeling for sensitive clays in that artificially constructed high sensitivity (up to $S_t=23$) clay exhibits faster strain softening, which results in localized shear band failure once it is remolded.

Recently, as large constructions on the coast are performed frequently, surface layer stabilization method which Is one of the improvement methods for dredged soft clay has been applied. However, there have been few studies about the surface layer stabilization method. The purpose of this study is to clarify characteristics of ultra-soft marine clay and hardening agent. Also, optimal mixture ratio of hardening agent was verified through the laboratory tests such as statistical analysis and pilot tests. Laboratory tests were performed with proper hardening agent and test soil and standard mixing tables of hardening agent were determined according to ground conditions through statistical analysis. Also, applicability of surface layer stabilization method to field was verified by pilot tests. From the results of the tests, it was found that hardening agent materials such as cement, slag, fly-ash, inorganic salts, arwin, gypsum etc. affect on the appearing compressive strength. It was defined optimal mixture ratio which satisfies the required compressive strength from the statistical analysis. Also, It was compared the effect of ground improvement by cements and hardening agents through the pilot tests. This study will serve as data for design or construction criteria of stabilization of surface layer on ultra-soft marine clay.
