This study mainly focused on the subsurface settlement due to shallow and deep tunneling in sandy ground. In order to figure out theoretical deformation patterns in association with the ground loss during the progress of tunneling, laboratory model tests using aluminum rods and finite element analyses using the CRISP program were carried out. As a result of comparison between the model test and the finite element analysis, the similar deformation patterns were found. In addition, it was identified that the most K values obtained from both the FEA and the model tests were distributed between Dyer et al. (1996) and Moh et al. (1996) of the field observation data. Based on the model test data, the linear equation of K for the sandy soil could be obtained.

Artificial disturbance in mountainous areas increases the sensitivity to erosion by exposure of the subsoil with a low loam ratio to the surface. In this study, rainfall simulations were conducted to evaluate the erodibility of sand and loamy sand in the interrill erosion by the rainfall-induced sheet flow. The mean diameters of sand and loamy sand used in the experiment were 0.936 mm and 0.611 mm, respectively, and the organic matter content was 2.0% and 4.2%, respectively. In the experimental plot, the runoff coefficient of overland flow increased 1.16 times in loamy sand rather than sand. Mean sediment yields of loamy sand and sand by sheet erosion were 3.71kg/m²/hr and 1.13kg/m²/hr respectively. The erodibility, the rate of soil erosion for rainfall erosivity factor, was 3.65 times greater in loamy sand than in sand. As the gradient of the steep slope increased from 24° to 28°, the sediment concentration and the erodibility for two soils increased by about 20%. The erodibility factor K of sandy soils for small plots was overestimated compared to the measured erodibility. This means that RUSLE can overestimate the sediment yields by sheet erosion on sandy soils.

본 연구에서는 펄스 방전 기술에 의해 확공된 앵커의 인발 거동에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 펄스 방전 현상을 등가의 폭발 현상으로 모델링하여 점성토와 사질토 지반에 대한 확공해석을 수행하였으며 이를 통해 펄스 방전에 의해 개량된 지반 조건을 구현하였다. 확공된 지반에 대해 설치된 압축형 그라우트 앵커의 인발 거동을 시뮬레이션하여 인발력-인발변위 곡선을 산정하였다. 해석 결과, 점성토의 경우에는 확공 정도가 인발 거동과 밀접한 관련을 갖는 반면, 사질토의 경우에는 확공 정도 이외의 추가적인 증가 요인이 확인되는 것으로 나타났으며 펄스 방전 기술이 사질토 지반의 다짐을 통해 앵커의 인발력을 증가시키는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에서 펄스 방전(PDT)에 의한 확공 현상을 평가하기 위한 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 수중 폭발 모델을 기반으로 PDT적용을 통해 시추공 내부의 시멘트 페이스트에 발생하는 충격파를 모델링하였고, 이를 바탕으로 사질토 지반에 유발되는 변형을 유체-구조물 연동해석을 통해 예측하였다. 해석 결과, 수치해석을 통한 예측이 문헌에 언급된 지반 확공 정도에 대한 실험 결과와 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 펄스 방전에 의해 지반의 응력 증가 및 체적 압축 등의 지반 다짐효과를 파악할 수 있었다.

Estimation of vertical bearing capacity is critical in the design of bucket foundation used to support offshore structure. Empirical formula and closed form solutions for bucket foundations in uniform sand or clay profiles have been extensively studied. However, the vertical bearing capacity of bucket foundations in alternating layers of sand overlying clay is not well defined. We performed a series of two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element analyses on bucket foundations in sand overlying clay soil, using elasto-plastic soil model. The load transfer mechanism is investigated for various conditions. Performing the parametric study for the friction angles, undrained shear strengths, thickness of sand layer, and aspect ratios of foundation, we present the predictive charts for determining the vertical bearing capacities of bucket foundations in sand overlying clay layer. In addition, after comparing with the finite element analysis results, it is found that linear interpolation between the design charts give acceptable values in these ranges of parameters.

Natural soil is composed of particles of various sizes, and the shear behavior which is a kind of mechanical behavior of the soil is affected by the particle size distribution. In addition, since the natural soil contains a large mixture of coarse and fine grained soil, it is difficult to clearly understand the shear behavior of the soil. Therefore, a ring shear test was conducted on sandy soils that has various particle size distribution in order to identify the effect of the distribution on shear characteristics of soils. At this time, sand and silt were used for coarse and fine grained soils, respectively, to make sandy soils by changing the silt content. Also the water was supplied during the test to confirm shear characteristics of sandy soils with various particle size distributions. The result shows that the shear strength increases as the silt content increases, and the strength decreases as the silt content increases over the sand. Besides, residual shear strength gradually decreases because of the silt content when the water is supplied.

The road sinks in the sewer line or subway section are affected by the ground characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify the relationship between the soil properties and the ground motion in the area where cavities occurred in order to establish a countermeasure against the road sink. In this paper, simulation was performed by using EDEM program, which is one of the Discrete Element Method programs, for sandy soil and clayey soil, which are most common in alluvial deposits, with different locations and sizes of cavities in the underground. As a result, it was found that the sink size occurred more in the sandy soil than in the cohesive soil. Deeper and larger cavity is more likely to occur the road sink In the sand soil model while road sink in the clay model is easy to occur when the cavity is more shallower.

Electrokinetics technology is proposed for improving the recovery metals ion and oil from clay-sandy soil. In order to restore or extract them from clay-sandy soil, the gas produced by anode chamber is re-injected to the clay-sandy soil(sample). Samples produced in this study were completed to verify the proposed performance for 7 days by gradually increasing the pressure to the final pressure of 30psi($2.11kgf/cm^2$) through the compression process. Before compression, the copper rings were inserted into the sample, allowing us to observe the changes in appearance of copper ring after the end of the experiment. In this study, pressurized module and non-pressurized module were tested, respectively. The condition of test is a continuous process and the voltage gradient is 2V/cm during 24 hours. As a result, the efficiency of pressurized module is better than non-pressurized module.

The vertical bearing capacity of a bucket foundation installed in sand can be calculated as sum of the skin friction and end bearing capacity. However, the current design equations are not considering the non-associated flow characteristics of sand and the reduction in the skin friction and increase in the end bearing capacity when the vertical load is applied. In this study, we perform two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element analyses following non-associated flow rule and calculate the vertical bearing capacity of circular bucket foundation of various sizes installed in sand of different friction angles. After calculating the skin friction and end bearing force at the ultimate state, design equations are derived for each. The skin friction of bucket foundation is shown significantly small compared to the end bearing capacity. Considering the difference with the available design equation for piles, it is recommended that the equation for piles is used for the bucket foundation. A new shape-depth factor ($s_q{\cdot}d_q$) for bucket foundation is recommended which also accounts for the increment of the end bearing capacity due to skin friction. Additionally, the shape and depth factor of embedded foundation proposed from the associated flow rule can overestimate the bearing capacity in sand, so it is more adequate to use the shape-depth factor proposed in this study.
