녹산국가산업단지는 부산광역시에서 서쪽의 연안매립지 형태의 공업단지이며, 이 지역은 1990년대 초반부터 약 10여년간에 걸쳐 산업단지가 조성되었다. 녹산국가산업단지는 연안 매립에 따른 연약지반으로 인하여 지반침하현상이 지속적으로 발생하고있으며, 이와 같은 이유로 2000년대 초반에는 침하계를 이용하여 지반침하현상을 관측하였다. 레이더 차분간섭도를 이용한 지표변위는 침하계 자료와의 비교 및 분석을 통하여 연구지역의 지반침하현상을 지속적으로 관측할 수 있으며, 실측 자료가 획득되지 못한 2000년대 중반과 후반의 지반침하현상도 측정할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 이번 연구는 2002년부터 2003년까지 획득된 RADARSAT-1 F4 fine-bem모드와 2004년부터 2007년까지 획득된 ENVISAT IS-2모드를 이용하여 2000년대 초반부터 후반까지의 녹산국가산업단지의 지반침하현상을 관측하고 이를 분석하는데 있으며, 관측결과 약 4년동안 최대 33 cm의 침하량을 보이는 곳도 있었다. 이 결과는 C-band 레이더 위성자료의 차분간섭도가 국가 주요시설물 지역의 지반침하 측정에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 중요한 사례가 될 것이다.

The implicit finite difference program was developed to evaluate the relationship between time and consolidation ratio within the zone of vertical drain effective radius. In the evaluation, the excess pore water pressure was considered to dissipate in two directions, namely, vertical and radial flow direction. To calculate subsoil stress increments in the soil due to multi-step embanking, the foundation soil was assumed to be an isotropic and homogeneous elastic medium and the initial excess pore water pressure was estimated by using Skempton's parameters whose condition is plane strain and elastic phase of pore pressure response within the soft ground. Regarding to the settlement estimation, immediate and primary consolidation settlements were calculated. The secondary or delayed consolidation settlement was not considered. Numerically calculated excess pore water pressure and settlements were similar to the measured data in situ. Thus, this method can be used to predict the time-consolidation ratio of each layer treated by vertical drain method.

Recently, the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the country due to a high economic growth, require optimization, usage and the expansion of underground space. Therefore the consturction of large and deep basements takes place in braced excavated area where their earth retaining structures cause many problems such as settlement and damages of nearby buildings and underground utilities. this study deals with the influence distance of settlement and the amount for settlement based on the measurement which were obtained at five excavation construction sites. Maximum ground surface settlement, (0.28∼0.3)(%)H utilizing depth, is similar to the measurement and the value by Clough's method. It was found that the settlement and the influence distance of settlement calculated by Clough's method were rational.

Seismically induced settlement exceeding dam freeboard may lead to a dam failure. The prediction of settlement is important also because it is also reported to be strongly related to longitudinal crack width and depth, which are critical indices used for safe evaluation of dams. The empirical correlation derived from numerical simulations is most often used. In this study, two-dimensional dynamic nonlinear analyses are performed using representative CFRD and ECRD fill dams. A total of 20 recorded motions are used to account for the influence on ground motion intensity and magnitude. The calculated crest settlements are correlated to four ground motion parameters, which are peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), Aria Intensity ($I_A$), and magnitude. It is demonstrated that using ground motion parameters in addition to PGA can significantly increase the prediction accuracy.

Recently, the reclamation of public waters has been on a downward trend due to environmental problems, but there is a limitation to evaluating environmental characteristics index uniformly. In this study, the stability of settlement behavior on public waters reclaimed land was analyzed using the experimental test. From the primary consolidation influence factors, the characteristics of the waste lime was similar that of clay in process of consolidation. Assuming that the waste lime landfill is the layer reinforced with thin geosynthetic reinforcement, the settlement was predicted by calculating the amount of increase using the Westergaard method. As a result of predicting settlement with degree of consolidation, it was found that the increase in stress was reduced by 40% when the surface layer of the soft ground was reinforce with geotextiles compared to the case where it was not reinforced. In addition, the consolidation behavior characteristics of clay and waste lime were compared using the correlation between the plasticity index and internal friction angle of waste lime. Since the waste lime in the public process of consolidation, it was predicted that long-term settlement will increase further.

Mechanized constructions have been frequently increased in soft ground below sea bed or river bed, for urban tunnel construction, and for underpinning the lower part of major structures in order to construct a safer tunnel considering various risk factors during the tunnel construction. However, it is difficult to estimate the subsidence behavior of the ground surface due to excavation and needs to be easily predicted. Thus, in this study, when a twin tunnel is constructed in the soft ground, it is proposed a simpler equation relating to the settlement behavior and a corrected formula applicable to soft ground and large diameter shield tunnels based on the previously proposed theory by Peck (1969). For this purpose, it was analyzed to long-term measurement values such as the amount of maximum settlement, the subsidence range by ground conditions, and interference volume loss due to the parallel construction, etc. As a result, a equation was suggested to predict the amount of maximum settlement in the soft sediment clay ground where is located at the upper part of the excavation site. It is turned out that the proposed equation is more suitable for measurement data in Korea than Peck (1969)'s.

We measured subsidences occurred in a coastal reclaimed land, Noksan industrial complex, from May 2, 1996 to February 21, 1998, using 5 interferograms of JERS-1 L-band SAR. SAR with a spatial resolution of about 16 m can detect the two-dimensional distribution of subsidence that is difficult to be estimated from in situ measurements. Accuracy of the subsidences estimated by 2-pass DInSAR was evaluated using the measurements of Magnetic Probe Extensometer (accuracy of :${\pm}$1 mm) installed at 42 stations. DInSAR measurements were well correlated with the field measurements showing an average correlation coefficient of 0.77. The correlation coefficient was further improved to be 0.87 (with RMSE of 1.44 cm) when only highly coherenced (>0.5) pixels were used. The slope of regression line was 1.04, very close to the unit value. In short, DInSAR measurements have a good linear relation with field measurements so that we can effectively detect a subsidence in the coastal reclaimed area especially using pixels of high coherence (>0.5). The maximum accumulated subsidence was about 60 cm in the study area, while the subsidence in the northern and south western areas were less than 20 cm. The resuts show that DInSAR is extremely useful for geotechnical applications as well as observation of natural deformation.

The settlement prediction during the design phase is primarily conducted using theoretical methods. However, measurement-based settlement prediction methods that predict future settlements based on measured settlement data over time are primarily used during construction due to accuracy issues. Among these methods, the hyperbolic method is commonly used. However, the existing hyperbolic method has accuracy issues and statistical limitations. Therefore, a weighted nonlinear regression hyperbolic method has been proposed. In this study, two weighting methods were applied to the weighted nonlinear regression hyperbolic method to compare and analyze the accuracy of settlement prediction. Measured settlement plate data from two sites located in Busan New Port were used. The settlement of the remaining sections was predicted by setting the regression analysis section to 30%, 50%, and 70% of the total data. Thus, regardless of the weight assignment method, the settlement prediction based on the hyperbolic method demonstrated a remarkable increase in accuracy as the regression analysis section increased. The weighted nonlinear regression hyperbolic method predicted settlement more accurately than the existing linear regression hyperbolic method. In particular, despite a smaller regression analysis section, the weighted nonlinear regression hyperbolic method showed higher settlement prediction performance than the existing linear regression hyperbolic method. Thus, it was confirmed that the weighted nonlinear regression hyperbolic method could predict settlement much faster and more accurately.

K시 강변여과수 개발 지역에서 적정 채수량 산정 및 지표수 연계 특성을 파악하기 위한 적절한 현장 시험 세부계획 수립과 그 근거를 마련하였다. 일반적으로 단계양수시험을 통하여 적정 채수량 산정 후, 산정된 적정 채수량으로 장기양수 시험을 통하여 주변 수리권에 미치는 지하수위 변화와 강변여과수의 수질변화를 관찰하여 지표수와 연계한 변동특성을 파악하는 일련의 과정을 생각할 수 있다. 그러나 K시 강변여과수 개발 지역과 같은 연약 지반에서는 단계 양수시험시의 높은 양수량에 인한 지반 침하의 우려로 인해 이에 대한 공정의 변화가 불가피하였다. 따라서 현장 시험 공정 순서를 바꾸어서 장기 양수 시험 후 단계양수시험을 수행하는 새로운 대안을 모색하였고 이를 뒷받침 해주는 근거를 제시하고자 한다. 뿐만 아니라 단계양수시험의 단계별 적절한 양수시간을 합리적, 효율적으로 결정하여 경제적이면서 가급적 빠른 시간 내에 단계양수시험을 완료 가능하게 만들고, 가능한 한 더 오랜 기간동안 장기 양수 시험을 가능하게 함으로써 제한된 시간내에 많은 수리지질학 및 화학적인 정보를 얻을 수 있도록 하였다.
