In this study, stress and deformation of CFRD during its construction and impounding were analyzed and compared with its monitoring results. Moreover, deformation characteristics of CFRD after impounding were evaluated based on the settlement monitoring records of total 23 domestic and foreign CFRDs during construction and impounding. The investigation on the behavior of CFRD indicated that the influence of impounding on its stability was minimal although slight increases in vertical and horizontal stresses and strains were observed. Also, one method was proposed to predict a crest settlement from multi-layer settlements by applying the best fit method. It is expected that the results of this study would provide practical information for the design, construction, and management of CFRD.

In this study, the ground settlement was investigated by using monitoring data of the test sites where vacuum consolidation method and surcharge method were applied for improving deep soft soil. The monitoring data are chosen in ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ area port construction site reclaimed with very soft dredged clay. These data are analyzed to compare the consolidation characteristics between the different loading methods for soil improvement. Through analysis of the loading time, it is shown that the ground settlement reaches its allowable value under vacuum consolidation loading by about 45% faster than that of the surcharge loading consolidation. This could be explained that vacuum consolidation method makes the isotropic consolidation condition so that the time for reaching a certain final preloading without soil failure can be shortened.

낙동강 하구지역 연직배수공법이 적용된 연약지반에서 성토시 발생할 수 있는 지반의 측방변형에 대해 3개소 현장 35개 지점에서 수행한 현장 계측데이터를 분석하였다. 성토과정에서 측방변형 패턴 및 변형량을 파악하는데 가장 우선적으로 파악해야 할 계측항목이 지중경사계이며 지반특성별 측방변형 패턴(최대 측방변위발생 지점, 전단변위 발생지점, 지층에 따른 변위발생 형태 등)의 정밀 분석을 위해서는 지중경사계가 설치된 지점의 지층구성을 파악하는 것이 가장 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 최대 측방변위량과 성토체 중앙부 침하량과의 관계에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제안한 ${\Delta}_y=(0.18+0.09){\Delta}_s$이하로 관측되었다. 또한 측방변형 억제 및 인접지반의 동반침하를 차단하기 위해 보강된 D.C.M., C.I.P.구간에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제안한 ${\Delta}_y=(0.18-0.09){\Delta}_s$이하로 관측되었다. 최대 측방변위량과 성토속도와의 관계에서는 과잉간극수압 소산에 필요한 충분한 시간과 원활한 배수가 될 수 있도록 시공관리(성토속도조절, 배수관리 철저)하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다는 사실을 다시 한 번 확인 할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 편재하중 재하에 따른 인접 지반 및 구조물의 침하 및 기울기 변화는 측방유동에 의한 거동과 함께 압밀침하에 의한 제체의 체적감소로 인한 인접지반의 동반침하가 상당기간 동안 발생하고 있는 것으로 관측되었다.

Numerical analysis has been performed to estimate maximum settlement, maximum horizontal displacement and total settlement volume at the ground surface due to tunnel excavation varying ground condition, tunnel depth and diameter, and construction condition (volume loss at excavation face). The maximum surface settlement from the numerical analysis has been compared with the maximum settlement at tunnel crown considering ground condition, tunnel depth and diameter, and construction condition, and it has been also compared with the maximum horizontal displacement. In addition, the volume loss ($V_L$) at tunnel excavation face has been compared with the total surface settlement volume ($V_s$) with the variation of ground condition, tunnel depth, and tunnel diameter. The results from the numerical analysis have been compared with field measurements to confirm the applicability and validity of the results and by this comparison it is believed that the numerical results in this study can be utilized practically in analyzing the ground movements due to tunnel excavation.

InSAR (Interferometry SAR) technique is a technique that uses complex data to obtain phase difference information from two or more SAR image data, and enables high-resolution image extraction, surface change detection, elevation measurement, and glacial change observation. In many countries, research on the InSAR technique is being conducted in various fields of study such as volcanic activity detection, glacier observation in Antarctica, and ground subsidence analysis. In this study, a case of large ground settlement due to groundwater level drawdown during tunnelling was introduced, and ground settlement analyses using InSAR technique and numerical analysis method were compared. The maximum settlement and influence radius estimated by the InSAR technique and numerical method were found to be quite similar, which confirms the reliability of the InSAR technique. Through this case study, it was found that the InSAR technique reliable to use for estimating ground settlement and can be used as a key technology to identify the long-term ground settlement history in the absence of measurement data.

해안의 연약지반에 건설되는 폐기물 매립지는 매립지의 안정성 평가를 위하여 하부기초지반의 침하거동 특성에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현장 침하계측자료를 이용하여 현장 간극비와 현장 압축지수를 역산하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 매립초기에는 상부하중에 의한 유효응력증가가 미소하여 하부기초지반은 과압밀 특성을 나타내고 현장 압축지수 변화가 미소하였으나, 매립이 진행될수록 상부하중이 선행압밀하중을 초과하여 정규압밀영역으로 변화함에 따라 큰 폭의 증가를 보였다.

A series of model tests were performed to investigate the ground deformation during trench excavation for diaphragm walls. An apparatus was manufactured to observe the failure pattern of a slurry-supported trench in sandy ground. Ground deformations including settlement and lateral displacement of the surrounding ground adjacent to the trench were carefully monitored during excavation. Experimental observations indicated that the settlement of the adjacent ground increased with closing to the trench. Especially, the considerable settlement occurred at the distance which was equal to 40% of the excavation depth. And, the higher settlement was obtained when the relative density of ground was looser and the ground water table was higher. Also, the lateral wall face of excavated trench was bulged with lowering the slurry level In stages and then the upper part of trench failed finally. The envelope of ground surface settlement could be represented as a hyperbolic line and the measured settlement was smaller than those predicted by Clough and O'Rourke (1990).

Piling engineers in limit state design should consider both capacity of a pile and settlements of pile for stability of a structure. This paper analyzes the prediction of the settlements of single piles and nine-group piles installed at an overconsolidated clay site by common prediction methods and cone penetrometer test data obtained closely at pile locations. The effects of Young's modulus, which varies spatially in soil profile, on estimating the set tlements of piles have been investigated briefly. The predicted settlements for single piles and nine-pile group by using simple linear elan tic methods, Vesic's method and Poulos's method, overestimated overalls the measured valroes, and the assumption of Youngs modulus, which are to be varied linearly through the soil layers. did not significantly affect the settlement predictions.

Aseries of in-situ tests and ground water level measurements with stone and slug materials had been conducted to find out effect of ground settlement reduction and bearing capacity improvement by the Stone Column method. As the result of the tests, it was proved that the Stone Column method is effective for reduction of ground settlement and improvement of bearing capacity. In addition the ground water level went down without overburden load. These results show that the Stone Column method is effective for an increase in density and resistance to liquefaction. The results of estimation of ground settlement and bearing capacity by general theoretical equation, it show that the Stone Column method increases bearing capacity by 2.7~5.7 times and decreases ground settlement by 2~3.5 times.

In stability and settlement management of soft ground, the settlement prediction technology has been continuously developed and used to reduce construction cost and confirm the exact land use time. However, the preexistence prediction methods such as hyperbolic method, Asaoka method and Hoshino method are difficult to predict the settlement accurately at the beginning of consolidation because the accurate settlement prediction is possible only after many measurement periods have passed. It is judged as the reason for estimating the future settlement through the proportionality assumption of the slope which the preexistence prediction method computes from the settlement curve. In this study, ARIMA technique is introduced among time series analysis techniques and compared with preexistence prediction methods. ARIMA method was predictable without any distinction of ground conditions, and the results similar to the existing method are predicted early (final settlement).
