Recently, excavations using propped walls were popularized in downtown due to reduced settlement of nearby structures. These excavations is induced strain to propped walls or settlement in near ground. In this study, the ground reinforcing effect was proven using NDS, which is an inorganic injection material. Injection tests were performed to compute optimum injection pressure and volume. Next, calibration chamber tests were performed by using computed injection pressure and volume, and wall behaviour was examined for overburden pressures of 50kPa and 150kPa. Ground reinforcing effect was shown when the material behind the propped wall was grouted. From test results, optimum injection pressure was 350kPa and the optimum volume was 10L considering economics. Calibration chamber test results show that after the material was grouted, the maximum settlement was reduced to 19% of the non-grouted condition. For overburden pressures of 50kPa and 150kPa behind the wall, the settlement of the wall increased by 58% and 57% when compared to the case of no overburden pressure.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has announced design standards for disaster-resilient greenhouses capable of resisting wind speeds with a 30-year frequency to respond to the destruction of greenhouses caused by strong winds. However, many greenhouses are still being maintained or newly installed as conventional standard facilities for the supply type. In these supply-type greenhouses, a small pile called a steel peg is used as reinforcement to resist wind-induced damage. The wind resistance of steel pegs varies depending on the soil environment and installation method. In this study, a correlation analysis was performed between the wind resistance of steel pegs installed in loam and sandy loam, using a soil hardness meter. To estimate the pull-out force of steel pegs based on soil water content and compaction, soil compaction tests and laboratory soil box and field tests were performed. The soil compaction degree was measured using a soil hardness meter that could easily confirm soil compaction. This was used to analyze the correlation between the soil compaction degree in the tests. In addition, a correlation analysis was performed between the pull-out force of steel pegs in the soil box and field. The findings of this study will be useful in predicting the pull-out force of steel pegs based on the method of steel peg installation and environmental changes.

One of the most important things to analyze model ground test in plane strain is to observe deformation, accurately, In this paper, the analyzing method of ground deformation by using photos of points on membrane attached on transparent acryle plate of side wall of model ground box is described. First order 4-node isoparametric elements are used to calculate strains of ole cents.

기초지반에 대한 응력·변형률관계를 규명하기 위하여 소성론에 기초를 둔 구성방정식이 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 본문은 성토나 강성기초와 같은 지반구조물을 연약점토지반에 축조하였을 때에 발생하는 변형에 관해 연구코저 한 것이다. 본 연구를 위하여 2차원모형토조를 제작, 재하실험한 시료를 재하실험을통하여 침하, 융기, 측방변위등을 측정하고 이들을 여러구함식과 비교고찰하였다. 구성식으로서는 한계상태개념에 근거를 둔 Cam-clay, Modified Cam-clay그리고 시간의존성을 고려한 탄·정감성 model인 Sakiguchi model을 이용하고 이들을 수치해를 통해 고찰하였다. 본 모형실험에 의하면 변형을 예측하는데 있어서 ModifiedICam-clay model이 Original Cam-clay"model 보다 실측치에 가까웠으며 또한 시간의존성을 고려한 탄·점견성 model인 Sekiguchi model'는 본 실험에서처럼 단기간의 실험에서는 변형의 creep조건을 만족시키지 못하므로 현장조건에 따라 잘- 판단하여 적용하여 야할 것으로 판단 된다.

In this study, evaluation of load capacity and CPT-load capacity parameters were performed using calibration chamber tests for different types of piles including straight-side and tapered piles. Various soil conditions were considered in the investigation, aiming at establishing design procedure for foundation of electronic transmission tower structures. Test results show that no significant difference of total load capacity from straight-side and tapered piles, while individual components of base and shaft load capacities were quite different. Based on the test results, values of CPT-load capacity correlation parameters for different pile types were analyzed for the evaluation of both base and shaft load capacities.

Static formulae based on limiting equilibrium theories often provide misleading predictions of pile bearing capacity in cohesionless soils due to the incorrect basic assumptions or oversimplification of actual soil conditions. Soil conditions prior to pile driving are significantly changed after pile installation and imposition of high stress levels. Therefore soi1 parameters at failure rather than those obtained at initial conditions should be used in application of static formulae. In this research. model pile test data were analyzed and compared with the predicted values obtained from the various static formulae. The results showed that the proper choice of soil parameters remarkably improve the reliability of static formulae.

This study investigated the friction behaviors of rock and grout through the small /large scale laboratory experiments. The small-scale laboratory tests were undertaken using a specially designed and fabricated equipments to simulate the contact surface of rock. In calibration chamber test, a artificial rock mass was prepared in soil container to measure the tensile resistance of grout. Test condition includes the grouting method of pressure involvement. The results of the tests show that the pressure grouting increases the frictional resistance significantly.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate engineering properties of Ferro Nickel Slag (FNS) and to investigate the effects of FNS on potential contamination of surrounding soil and water through small and large chamber tests. Soil conditions in the chamber tests were made as closely as possibile to the field conditions. In order to simulate different types of water, we used fresh water, acidic water and seawater. Sand soils were made with relative densities of 40% and 60%, and clay with the degree of compaction of 90%. After flushing water through the FNS in the chambers was completed, the PH test was performed for the water flowing out of the chambers and the soil samples were collected for soil pollution analysis. Based on the results of the chamber tests, although the pollution level was slightly higher in the silt than in the sand, the environmental effect that FNS causes the surrounding soil was found to be very minimal. This indicates that FNS can be used as construction material in place of natural aggregates.

Sand compaction pile(SCP) is one of the ground improvement techniques which is being used for not only accelerating consolidation but also increasing bearing capacity of loose sands or soft clay grounds. In this study, laboratory model test and large-scale direct shear test were performed to investigate the effects of area replacement ratio of composite ground in order to find out the optimum value of area replacement ratio for the ground improvement purpose. Area replacement ratios of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% were chosen respectively in the model tests to study the effects of area replacement ratio on variations of stress concentration ratio, settlement and shear strength characteristics of composite ground. In large-scale direct she4ar tests, area replacement ratios of 20%, 30%, 46% were applied to study their effects on shear strength characteristics of composite ground.
