This paper investigates the effects of excavation-induced ground movements on nearby structures, considering soil-structure interactions of different soil and structural characteristics. The response of four and two-story block structures, which are subjected to excavation-induced advancing ground movements, are investigated in different soil conditions using numerical analysis. The structures for numerical analysis are modelled to have cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The response of four and two-story block structures are investigated with advancing ground movement phases and compared with the response of structures which are subjected to excavation-induced total ground movement. The response of structures is compared among others in terms of the magnitude and shape of deformations and cracks in structures for different structure and ground conditions. The results of the comparison provide a background for better understandings for controlling and minimizing building damage on nearby structures due to excavation-induced ground movements.

The effects of various forces acting on concrete pole are analyzed using finite element method how the forces affect on ground displacement. The soil types, wind load location of anchor block embedded depth of pole, and distance between poles are varied to find out effects on lateral displacement. Anchor block is effective when it is located at 1/4 of embedded depth The displacement is decreases as elastic modulus increases. Concrete reinforcement for loosened ground is necessary for double poles because double poles cause large excavation. When embedded depth ratio decrease, lateral displacement increase as closer to ground surface. Large embedded depth is effective to reduce lateral displacement, and the distance between poles is not much large factor.

During and after the construction of embankment on soft ground, consolidation settlements and lateral displacements develop. But generally it's very difficult to predict the magnitude of lateral deformations and the correct distribution of lateral displacements with depth under the toe of embankment because the consolidation and the shear deformations of soft ground occur simultaneously. This study shows that later displacements of ground surface arise by embankment loading act on soft clay hight water contents in laboratory model testing. The results of model test are observed settlement of embankment, amount of maximum rising and displacement of ground surface with loading velocity. The formula were proposed to predict lateral movement by test series.

Tunnelling-induced settlements and lateral ground movements have been investigated by numerical parametric studies considering ground condition, excavation characteristics, and ground layers. Before the numerical study the existing methods of ground movement estimation have been collected and analysed to have some information of ground movements and to improve them providing a fundamental material for the numerical study. Numerical model simulation has been performed of a physical model test of tunnel excavation in which the ground movements were measured reliably and the results have been used to determine the numerical approach and the appropriate soil constitutive mode. With this procedure done, the results of numerical parametric studies have been put together to analyze and understand tunnelling-induced settlements and lateral ground movements.

지반침하는 열차 탈선과 같은 대형재난을 야기할 수 있다. 그러므로 지반침하를 사전에 파악하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행 중이다. 최근 광범위한 지역의 지표변위를 경제적으로 분석할 수 있는 InSAR(nterferometric SAR)기법을 이용한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. InSAR 기법 중 PS-InSAR(Permanent Scatterer Interferometric SAR)기법이란 SAR영상에서 긴밀도가 높은 고정산란체(PS:Permanent scatterer)를 이용하여 지반침하를 분석하는 기법으로 다른 InSAR 기법에 비해 대기에 의해 발생하는 오차가 적으며, 보다 정확한 지표변위량을 도출할 수 있다. 또한 장기간에 걸친 시계열적 지표 변위 분석에 용이하다. 본 논문에서는 독일의 Terra SAR-X 위성 영상을 이용하여, 광주광산구의 지표변위를 분석하였다. 연구지역인 광주 광산구는 대표적인 연약지반인 평야지역에 위치해 있으며, 실제로 2015년 한국시설안전공단의 발표에 의하면 6곳의 지반탐사 필요 의심지역이 존재할 만큼 지반이 불안정한 지역이다. 연구 결과 광주 광산구 8mm/year로 지반이 침하되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 광주 광산구 일대의 지반침하 대비를 위해 다양한 노력들이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper describes the earthquake risk evaluation of 15 sites of architectural heritages, which are considered ground conditions of sites in Seoul. In order to acquire the input data of earthquake response analysis, surface wave exploration was performed at the site. Earthquake response analysis and 3D earthquake safety evaluation were carried out under the base of scenario earthquakes. Ground displacements of areas, which are located on architectural heritages, are showed about 0.5 mm ~ 9.7 mm, and it was analyzed to small affected by earthquakes. In case of Naksungdae three-story stone pagoda, ground displacement is similar to the others. However, displacement of three-story stone pagoda with granite is 30 mm on the top, because the greatest occurrence of that is caused by stress release at seismic wave effect.

The response displacement method is the most frequently used method for seismic design of underground structures. This method is pseudo-static method, and the evaluations of velocity response spectrum of seismic base and response displacement of surrounding soil are the most important steps. In this study, the evaluation of velocity response spectrum of seismic base according to the Korean seismic design guide and the simple method of calculating the response displacement were studied. It was found that velocity response spectrum of seismic base can be estimated by directly integrating the ground-surface acceleration response spectrum of soil type S$_A$, and the evaluation of the response displacement using double cosine method assuming two layers of soil profile shows the advantages in the seismic design.

변위가 발생한 해안도로 옹벽에 대한 원인을 규명하기 위하여 기반암과 매립부 지반에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 연구지역에서 지질구조선의 발달은 관찰되지 않고 지표에서 기반암의 거동은 낙석의 형태로 나타난다. 기반암은 생교란작용의 유무에 따라 상, 하부지층이 구분되며 하부 지층은 신선한 상태로 이완된 불연속면은 나타나지 않는다. 변위는 옹벽의 이음부에 집중되며 옹벽의 운동방향은 우향이동과 좌향이동이 반복되며 최초 변위 발생지점 (시 점부)에서 멀어짐에 따라 장력에 의한 확장 (벌어짐)이 우세하며 종점부에서 회전운동이 수반된다. 이음부의 확장과 회전은 최초 발생 지점에서 응력이 전달되는 과정에서 나타난 것으로 해석된다. 매립부 지반의 전기비저항탐사에서 상부의 매립층은 높은 전기비저항을 가지는 것에 반해 하부는 매우 낮은 전기비저항 값을 보여준다. 이는 매립부의 하부지반이 해수면 이하에 위치하여 해수와 같은 유체의 영향을 받으나, 상부는 유체의 영향을 거의 받지 않는 것으로 추정된다. 반면 최초 변위가 발생한 지점의 매립부 지반은 하부와 같이 낮은 전기비저항 값을 보여준다. GPR 탐사에서 최초 변위 발생 지점에서 매질의 이완 내지 공동으로 추정되는 구조가 관찰된다.

Soil-nailing has two main resistance factors: skin friction between ground and grouting; and tension load of reinforced material. These two factors will affect the load-displacement curve when performing soil-nailing pullout tests. The purpose of this paper is to figure out the shear behavior between ground and soil-nailing focusing on the net load-displacement behavior during soil-nailing pullout tests. Firstly, the net load-displacement curve between ground and grouting is estimated theoretically. Then, in-situ pullout load tests are performed on various ground conditions to obtain the load-displacement curve occuring between ground and grouting. Since the measured shear displacement includes elongation of the reinforced material (steel nails), the net load-displacement curve can be obtained by subtracting the elongation magnitude of steels from the measured displacement. It was found that the measured net load-displacement curve matches reasonably well with the theoretically estimated curve.

Model tests on propped retaining walls were performed for the investigation of wall displacement, distribution of earth pressure, surface settlement and underground movement at various excavation stage in sand. The result of model tests on the trough of surface settlement showed considerable difference depending on the characteristic of wall stiffness, wall friction and soil condition. The location of maximum underground movement were found to be at range of 0.15H to 0. 1H(H: Final excavation depth). Effect of arching by the redistribution of earth pressure were closely related to the stiffness of wall as well as the soil condition. The wall displacement and earth pressure distribution were simulated by elasto - plastic beam analysis program and finite element method with GDHM model respectively. The result of elasto-plastic analysis showed some discrepancy on the wall displacement and earth pressure, but result of underground movement by FEM with various wall stiffness were in good agreement with the model tests.
