This paper reports a case study of aboutment displacement and pavement settlement observed at the construction site for highway bridges. The emphasis was on quantifying the horizontal deflections of about and pavement settlement on the backfill surface. It is shown that in soft clay, bridge aboutments on pile foundations are subjected to lateral earth pressures due to lateral soil movement. Based on the results analyzed, the earth pressure was predicted by deflection shape of piles based on the results of a numerical analysis and an analytical study. Also, the long term settlement of soil below pavement was estimated.

In this paper, a case study was presented to analyze the lateral movement of abutment founded on the soft soil with steel pile foundations and was to propose its remedial methods. The main reason for the displacement was due to the lack of the lateral bearing capacity of piles and even more seriously the lateral movement of the soil arising from the construction of as embankment behind the abutment. This project showed that the passive state as well as the active state of piles must be considered for the proper design of abutment foundations.

In this reaserch, the comparison between numerical results and field measurments including settlement, heaving and lateral displacement, in the interchange construction works on soft ground. Sand drain was performed for the improvement of the site and steel pipe piles driven for the pier foundation of interchange. The steel pipe piles were replaced to the equivalent steel sheet pile wall. Biot's equation was coupled with elasto-viscoplastic model for the multi-purpose program of soft foundation. Finally countemeasures for future possible lateral displacement and settlement were exmanined.

In order to democractically resolve the "not-in-my-backyard" (Nimby syndrome) which is widespread in Korea, the policy of the Ministry of Environmnt(MOE) is that the MOE is willing to negotiate with local inhabitants who refuse to allow the establishment of waste treatment facilities, and that such facilities will be safety and effectively constructed and managed. According to this policy, the MOE has developed a basic plan to construct 255 incinerators by the year 2001, and establish 42 sanitary landfill sites and 5 specific waste treatment facilities in 1994.s in 1994.

In this paper, various aspects of landfill liners such as guide of liner installation, type of bottom liners and vertical barriers, domestic companies producing and dealing liners, quality assurance and control of liners, are investigated. Although sanitary landfilling of domestic municipal wates has begun at the last decade, we still need to strengthen the regulation for designing and constructing the liner systems and to diversify the types of liners used in the landfills. Technologies of quality control for selecting and installing landfill liners should be improved as soon as possible. In order to develop the technologies and to slove th problems related to landfill liners, more efforts should be taken among the engineers and the agencies who are interested in maintraining safe subsurface environments.

Groundwater in waste landfills can be contarninated by leachates produced from wastes and flow down toward rivers. These accidents are easily discovered in uncontrolled landfill sites. In this study, applications for controlling groundwater pollution and protecting river pollution were studied using installation of cut-off walls around the waste landfill. Analyses for the efficiency and applicability of the cut-off wall were made under environmental, economical anc technical considerations. Cut-off walls were installed at the upgradient and the downgradient. prediction analyses for the hydraulic head distribution over the site were made for concerning with the final cover and without the final cover. Also, the hydraulic head distribution was predicted with well-pumping on both cases, upgradient cut-off wall and downgradient cut-off wall.

The DDC(dynamic deep compection) was carried out the main method of ground improvement for construction of municipal high way. The project area is composed of the municipal waste dumped, demolished building debris, coal ash and industrial waste made between 1983 and 1989. From the result of fileld measurement, it was found that waste landfill was compressed considerably (15 ~ 20% of full depth), and the strength was increased satisfactorily(20 ~ 120% of original N-value, 55 ~ 230% of original dynamic cone penetration resistance). And the chemical inclination of the municipal waste landfill was analyzed for expection and control of settlement.
