The several computer programs for the design of soil nailed wall are often used in Korea. However, these programs have been used without any practical justification. Therefore, in order to evaluate the applicability of these programs for the design of soil nailing, these computer results were analyzed and compared with one another. The performance evaluations by the available programs, such as SNAILZ, TALREN97, SLOPE/W, STABL6, and NAILM16, were applied and the applied data were from 5 case history(15 section). The estimated factors of safety with available programs were compared with observed horizontal deformation from the field. The results showed that the program SNAILZ is most adequate tool for the design of soil nailed wall.

As the occurrence of ground subsidence near the excavation site increases recently, studies are being conducted to predict the possibility of ground subsidence prior to excavation. In this study, the ground subsidence risk rating for pre-excavation (GSRp) developed by the previous study was applied to actual excavation sites to verify its applicability. The final results for the evaluation of the ground subsidence risk level for five excavation sites revealed that GSRp scores were calculated between 40 and 79 points and classified mainly into grades II (Good Ground)~III (Fair Ground). In order to verify the evaluation method, the obtained GSRp grades were compared with the measured horizontal displacements. The horizontal displacements measured in five excavation sites were between 25% and 47% of the allowable displacement, which were well agreed with the low subsidence risk level obtained from GSRp calculation. It is expected that the GSRp method can be used as an evaluation tool for predicting the risk of ground subsidence before excavation if GSRp is verified and supplemented through the additional research for the poor soil with the high risk of ground subsidence.

Displacement of structures is the most important parameter for safety and performance assessment and is measured to use for diagnosis and maintenance of bridges. Usually LVDT, Laser and GNSS are used for displacement measurement but these measurement instruments have problems in terms of field condition and cost. Therefore, in this study, displacements were evaluated using rotational angle measured by inclinometers and the proposed algorithm was experimentally verified. As the result, vertical displacements of cable supported bridges with traffic and temperature load were properly evaluated through the proposed algorithm. Therefore it is considered that the proposed algorithm can be used for displacement measurement by vehicle load test and long term displacement monitoring.

많은 공사 현장에는 개구부, 작업발판, 가설계단의 통로 등에서의 추락사고를 방지하기 위해 설치하는 가시설물 중 안전난간이 있다. 안전난간은 작업장에서 현장인부들의 생명과 직결되므로 반드시 적절한 기준에 맞춰 설계를 하는 것이 필요하다. 이러한 안전난간은 표준안전난간으로서 추락재해방지 표준안전작업지침[1]에 의해 설계 기준이 명확하게 명시되어 있으며 난간대와 기둥각 부분 접합부는 쉽게 변형, 변위를 일으키지 않는 구조를 가져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지침에 지시된 표준안전난간을 실제 설계기준에 맞게 직접 구조물을 모델링하고 EDISON용 구조해석 프로그램인 CASADsovler를 통해 유한 요소 해석을 수행하여 안전난간에 가해지는 응력 및 변위 결과들을 통해 구조의 안정성을 시험해 보았다. 더하여 다구찌 기법과 최적설계에 기반하여 안전난간 무게의 경량 최적화를 위한 연구를 진행하였다.

진동을 정량화하기 위해서는 진동변위, 진동속도, 진동가속도 등의 척도를 사용하여 진동의 크기를 나타내고 있다. 또한 각 국가별로 지반조건 및 사회적 특성에 따라 진동척도의 단위가 통일되지 않았고, 각 단위에 대한 진동기준도 다양하게 설정되어 있는 실정이다. 본 기사에서는 진동변위, 진동속도, 진동가속도로 표현된 진동기준을 국외에서 연구 제시된 자료를 중심으로 고찰하였으며 각기 다른 척도 및 단위로 표현된 기준들을 통일된 단위인 진동수준으로 표현하였다. 국내에서도 점차 진동문제에 대한 인식이 늘어감에 따라 진동기준에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있는 시점에서 국내 실정에 적합하게 진동문제를 효과적으로 표현할 수 있으며, 현장에서 계측하고 평가하기에 편리한 진동 표현방법의 기준설정에 대한 기초적인 준비가 필요하다고 사료된다.

In this study reinforcing effect of soil nailed-drilled shafts subjected to axial and lateral loads was evaluated. Special attention was given to the reinforcing effects of soil nails placed from the drilled shafts to surrounding weathered- and soft-rocks based on model tests, numerical analyses and field tests. The model tests and numerical analyses are conducted to analyze the reinforcing effect of various conditions of number, inclination, position and length. The results of 1/40 scale model tests and numerical analyses show that as the number of reinforcing level increases, the incremental effect of reinforcement tends to increase, whereas the reinforcing effect on relative position is negligible. In addition there is a reinforcing effect as the inclination angle increase up to 30 degrees. Based on the results of tensile load tests, soil nailed-drilled shaft has a considerably smaller settlement to reach the ultimate level compared with the result of un-reinforced drilled shafts. For compression tests, there is a reinforcing effect of about 200% measured.

In this study, the virtual fixed point analysis and 3D fully modeling analysis for bent pile structures are conducted by considering various influencing factors and the applicability of the virtual fixed point theory is discussed. Also, the optimized column-pile length ratio is analyzed for supplementing virtual fixed point design and examining a more exact behavior of bent pile structures by taking into account the major influencing parameters such as pile length, column and pile diameter, reinforcement ratio and soil conditions. To obtain the detailed information, the settlement and lateral deflection of the virtual fixed point theory are smaller than those of 3D fully modeling analysis. On the other hand, the virtual fixed point analysis overestimates the axial force and bending moment compared with 3D fully modeling analysis. It is shown that the virtual fixed point analysis cannot adequately predict the real behavior of bent pile structures. Therefore, it is necessary that 3D fully modeling analysis is considered for the exact design of bent pile structures. In this study, the emphasis is on quantifying an improved design method (optimized column-pile length ratio) of bent pile structures developed by considering the relation between the column-pile length ratio and allowable lateral deflection criteria. It can be effectively used to perform a more economical and improved design of bent pile structures.

A landslide was occurred due to soil cutting for construction to expand the Donghae express highway in Dong-hae-City, Korea. The total area of the landslide was about $9,550m^2$ with 100 m of width and 87m of height. The landslide was occurred due to the internal factor of the unstable geological structure including the clay layer and the external factor of continuous heavy rainfalls. As the result of field instrumentation during the landslide, the horizontal displacement of the slope ground increases with increasing the accumulated rainfall by continuous rainfall during the rainy season. Also, the depth of sliding failure was decided by the horizontal displacement distribution during landslide occurrence. It makes sure that the horizontal displacement starts from the depth of sliding failure and the depth of sliding failure matches well with the location of the clay layer. As the slope stability analysis using Bishop's Simplified Method at the landslide area, the safety factor of slope during the rainy season was 0.53. This safety factor of slope was enough to trigger the landslide at this area. The depth of sliding failure obtained by analytical method matches well with the depth of the clay layer.

This study is concerned with the characteristics of the behavior of drilled shafts with steel casing, a material that is used for large bridge foundations in Korea, and especially for weak submerged ground conditions. The effect of steel casing on bearing capacity of drilled shafts was also verified in this study. Three large drilled shafts with 1.8, 2.4, 3.0m diameter respectively were selected, and 3-D finite element analysis has been undertaken on the following three models: 1) drilled shafts without steel casing, 2) drilled shafts with steel casing, 3) steel-concrete composite drilled shafts. Interface element between concrete core and steel casing was taken into account, and ground conditions and load combinations were applied which had been considered in the fields. Detailed characteristics of the stress and displacement distributions were evaluated to understand the characteristics of the behavior of the drilled shafts. Based on the study performed, the steel casing used as load-carrying materials in the drilled shafts can reduce the horizontal and vertical displacement of drilled shafts by 32~37% and 15~19% respectively compared with drilled shafts without steel casing.
