Sand pile is one of the widely used ground improvement methods. Sand pile improved ground will have composite ground effects, even though the primary purpose is the accelerated consolidation. However, the consolidation of sand pile improved ground as a composite ground is substantially under developed. This study investigate the effect of composite ground for relatively low volume displacement sand piles. Plate bearing tests and earth pressure cell measurements are performed. It turned out that the contribution of sand pile as a load bearing mechanism is not substantial. However the bearing capacity of the surrounding clayey soil is increased by sixty percent, and it cause the stiffness change during consolidation. Therefore it is expected that, the effect of increased stiffness of sand pile improved ground is influenced by change of ground stiffness.

본 연구에서는 저치환율의 모래다짐말뚝으로 개량된 복합지반에서 SCP와 주변지반 사이의 응력 분담 효과를 평가하기 위하여 원심모형시험을 수행하였다. 모래다짐말뚝은 동결법에 의해 형성하였으며, 응력분담거동을 관찰하기 위하여 말뚝과 주변점토지반에 압력계를 설치하였다. 원심모형실험결과, 응력집중비는 주로 하중조건과 면적치환비 그리고 경과시간에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Laboratory experiments were peformed to understand physical properties of soil-cement column under the influence of acidic flow including metal contaminants and its retaining capacity against metal migration. The contaminant used in this study was nitric acid with Cu and Cd. The Permeability of soil-cement column decreased when pH of the column began to drop below 12. Decreases in pH led to significant reduction of compressive strength of clayey soil-cement specimen, while relatively marginal reduction for sandy soil-cement specimen. The metal contaminants did not leachate from soil-cement column until pH of soil-cement dropped below 7∼8 for Cu and 9∼10 for Cd. Metal contaminants were precipitated and trapped inside the soil-cement column at pHs higher than those mentioned as verified with metal analysis and visual inspection. This indicated that soil-cement column not only performs well as a cut-off wall, but also helps alleviating the level of contamination of the surrounding environment.

The practical usage of underground space and demand for vehicular tunnels necessitate the construction of non-circular wide rectangular tunnels. However, constructing large tunnels in soft clayey soil conditions with no ground improvement can lead to excessive ground deformations and collapse. In recent years, in situ ground improvement techniques such as jet grouting and deep cement mixing are often utilized to perform cement-stabilisation around the tunnel boundary to prevent large deformations and failure. This paper discusses the stability characteristics and failure behaviour of a wide rectangular tunnel in cement-treated soft clays. First, the plane strain finite element model is developed and validated with the results of centrifuge model tests available in the past literature. The critical tunnel support pressures computed from the numerical study are found to be in good agreement with those of centrifuge model tests. The influence of varying strength and thickness of improved soil surround, and cover depth are studied on the stability and failure modes of a rectangular tunnel. It is observed that the failure behaviour of the tunnel in improved soil surround depends on the ratio of the strength of improved soil surround to the strength of surrounding soil, i.e., q_ui/q_us, rather than just q_ui. For low q_ui/q_us ratios,the stability increases with the cover; however, for the high strength improved soil surrounds with q_ui >> q_us, the stability decreases with the cover. The failure chart, modified stability equation, and stability chart are also proposed as preliminary design guidelines for constructing rectangular tunnels in the improved soil surrounded by soft clays.

SCP공법(Sand Compaction Pile Method)은 안벽구조물 하부 지반이 연약할 경우에 압밀침하 속도를 증가시키고, 침하를 감소시키며, 지지력을 증가시키기 위하여 널리 적용되어 왔다. 연약지반에 타설 된 모래말뚝과 주변 연약지반으로 구성된 SCP 개량지반 상부에 상부 캐이슨과 상치구조물이 설치됨에 따라, SCP 복합지반에서는 모래말뚝에 의한 즉시침하와 함께 주변 점토지반의 압밀침하가 복합적으로 유발하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SCP 복합지반에 대한 기존의 탄성침하 및 압밀이론에 근거하여 침하 예측기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 침하모델의 모델정수값들의 산정하기 위하여 유전자 알고리즘에 근거한 역해석 기법을 적용하여 최적화 과정을 수행하였다. 국내 SCP 복합지반에 대한 예제해석을 수행하여 제안된 침하예측기법의 적용성을 검토하였다.
