최근 도시지역의 확대와 고밀도화에 따른 도시근교의 산림, 논밭, 녹지 등이 감소하고, 도로나 건축물 등의 증가로 인해 불투수 유역이 확대되어, 원래 그 토지가 유지하고 있던 보수 유수 기능이 현저히 저하되고 있다. 그 결과 강우 시 표면 유출량의 증가와 유출시간의 단축이 현저하게 되고, 도시하천이나 하수도 유하 능력을 넘는 홍수가 자주 발생하고 있다. 또한 빗물 침투량이 줄어들어, 용천수 고갈, 하천의 평상시 유량감소가 나타나게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 유역 내에 저류시설과 침투시설 등 유출저감효과를 기대할 수 있는 여러 가지 시설의 활용방안이 꾸준히 모색되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 내배수 홍수분담시설 중 저류와 침투의 기능을 모두 갖추고 있는 쇄석공극저류시설의 효율성을 분석하였다. 또한 쇄석저류지와 규모와 형태가 유사한 우수저류지와의 비교를 통해 상대적인 효율성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 두 시설이 같은 규모를 가진다고 가정할 때, 우수저류지가 쇄석저류지에 비하여 월등한 유출저감효과를 보이는 것으로 파악되었다.

In this study, the centrifuge model tests were carried out to evaluate the stress concentration ratio, the deformation modes of piles and the ground movement in clay deposit improved by SCP and GCP piles with changing the replacement ratio(20%, 40%, 60%) under flexible loading. Based on the results obtained, it was shown that the stresses acting on GCP was larger than those acting on SCP with the same replacement ratio. It was evaluated that the average stress concentration ratio of soft clay ground improved by GCP was slightly larger than that of SCP when the replacement ratio is 40%. Only expansion failure occurred in GCP, whereas SCP showed the expansion and shear failure simultaneously.

The geogrid encased stone column (GESC) system, which increases the confinement effect, has been developed to improve the load carrying capacity of stone columns. The resonable design method for calculating the geogrid ring tension force and ultimate bearing capacity that can be applied to the design of GESC is proposed. In order to calculate design procedure for GESC, two ultimate bearing capacities were compared. One is the ultimate bearing capacity measured using data of the field loading test in light railway site and the other is the ultimate bearing capacity using suggested design procedure of GESC. The results indicated that design method of GESC higher ultimate bearing capacities compared with field loading test.

Among soft ground improvement methods by using granular material, the sand compaction pile method has been widely utilized in Korea, but, as a result of shortage and increase of unit price of sand, a necessity of an alternative method has been required. In this study, a series of in-situ static load tests for crushed-stone compaction piles were performed. Pile diameter was fixed to 700mm and areas of loading plates were changed. The static load tests were performed for area replacement ratios of 20, 30 and 40% respectively. Based on the test results, bearing capacity of single crushed-stone compaction pile was estimated. It showed that the settlement decreases as the replacement ratio increases. Also, a yielding capacity equation of the crushed-stone compaction pile considering replacement ratio was suggested.

As construction cases on soft ground are increasing, the necessity of ground improvement is also increasing. Granular pile is one of the methods for soft clay and for loose sandy soil. In our country, SCP(Sand Compaction Pile) method using sand material has been mainly used to improve soft ground, but Granular pile with crushed-stone was not used much. However, alternative material such that crushed-stone is needed to substitute for sand due to the environmental and economical problems. In this study, staged load test and consolidation test were performed in the laboratory to observe the behavior of soft ground improved by Granular pile. In order to evaluate the characteristics such as bearing capacity, drainage, and settlement, sand and crushed-stone were applied as each pile material. The test results show that crushed-stone has higher bearing capacity and less settlement than those of sand under similar pore water pressure condition. Therefore, crushed-stone is determined to be appropriate as substitute for sand.

In this study, the resistance bias factors are calculated to determine the resistance factor of Gravel Compaction Piles which is one of the soft ground improvement methods. In order to calculate resistance bias factors for gravel compaction piles, two ultimate bearing capacities were analyzed. One is the ultimate bearing capacity in 2.54 cm settlement measured using data of the field loading test on 41 piles and the other is the ultimate bearing capacity calculated using the seven equations concerning bulging failure. The results of analysis show that the probability density function of the calculated ultimate bearing capacities has a lognormal distribution. Resistance bias factor and the coefficient of variation for Greenwood equation are 0.91 and 0.38, respectively, and for those of Hughes & Withers are 1.19 and 0.39. The two equations are suitable for calculating resistance factors for LRFD of soil improvement using gravel compaction piles.

Recently, duc to highly increased consumption of' ngg~.egatc>s f o ~ . construction. studies have focused on the effective utilization of rock wastes abandoned so far. This study was designed, firstly, to determine t,hc petrological, g'ochemical and mechanical cha~,acte~istics of' crushed limestone aggregates in thc Samhwa district for suitable construction aggregates and, secondly, to offer basic data for cff'ective utilization of low grade limestones. Results of' the petrographic st,udy indicates that the crushed limestone aggregates in the Samhwa district can bo separate4 into two groups, namely f'inc-grained and cowlxcgrained limestones. Dominantly distributed fine-grained limestone containing some dolomite has higher Mgo and $SiO_2$ contents compared to the coarse-graincd limestonr. It, can be classified as medium strength rock by the physical and mcxhanical pi.opertics. I3ased on the size of' mineral grains and chemical compositions, it is suggested that the crushed limestone aggregates in t,his study area would bctkr be u s ~ i for asphalt concr.ctt., road pavement, or railroad ballast materials than for cement concrete.

Stone column is the method that replace soft ground such as weak clay and loose sand with gravel or crushed stone which has relatively high stiffness and low compressive. Stone column increases bearing capacity of the soft ground, reduces settlement, produces ground improvement effect by consolidation drain, and is effective to prevent soil liquefaction in sandy ground during an earthquake. Stone column has been used in many civil works, and has recorded quite a lot of construction achievement internationally, but there is no standardized settlement calculation method yet. Therefore, in this study, the applicability of the existing theoretical equations were evaluated through comparison and analysis to predict a reasonable settlement of the Stone column. Consequently, Hook's law formula was verified to be the most close to numerical analysis.

This paper deals with the bearing capacity behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced stone column(GRSC) constructed in soft ground, as part of an investigation regarding the applicability of GRSC in Korea. In this study, two-dimensional finite element analyses were performed to investigate the effect of relevant design factors on the bearing capacity behaviour. The parametric study is performed for various influencing factors. The results indicated that the geogrid encasement tends to significantly improve the load carrying capacity of a stone column. Also found were that the geogrid encasement length and its stiffness significantly affect the load carrying capacity behaviour of GRSC, and that the encasement length of three times the stone column diameter is sufficient in mobilizing the full reinforcement effect. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.
