IPM bridge was developed to revise the problems of IAB bridge by Nam et al, (2016). This research conducted the p-y analysis to examine the parameter traits among the protruded length (H), penetrated length (L) of pile bent and soil conditions. From the results, the maximum bending moment happened in the top segment of pile bent, because it is integrated to the upper structure. Also, the maximum shear force was shown in the boundary of the sand and weathered soil zones according to the analysis soil conditions. The maximum member force and unbraced length is converged when the ratio (L/H) of protruded length (H) and penetrated length (L) is 1.0. The larger material force is happened, if the pile bent is penetrated shallowly compared to the protruded length. The definite inflection points were shown in the horizontal displacement curve from the p-y analysis, also the smaller penetrated length made the curve grade slower.

연약지반상에 하중 경감을 목적으로 발포성 폴리스티렌(Expanded Polystyrene)을 사용하는 사례가 최근 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 공법의 요점은 연약지반상에 축조되는 상부구조물에 의한 응력증가를 감소시켜서 결국에는 침하를 방지하기 위한 것이다. 이것을 지오폼(geofoam)이라고 하는데, 지오폼은 교대나 옹벽의 뒷채움재로 사용할 경우 횡토압을 감소시키기 때문에 옹벽이나 교대의 뒷채움재료로 사용하기도 한다. 이와 같이 그 사용이 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만 뒷채움이나 연악지반상에 사용할 때 지오폼의 거동을 예측하는 적절한 수치모델이 아직은 개발되자 않았다. 본 연구에서는 지오폼의 응력-변형 특성을 연구하고 그 탄소성 예측모델을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 삼축압축시험을 실시하였으며 구속응력과 지오폼의 밀도를 다양하게 변화시켜 그 응력-변형특성을 조사하고 회귀분석을 통하여 비선형 구성모델을 제시하였다. 그 결과 지오폼은 탄성 선형모델보다 탄소성모델 특성에 더 가까운 것을 알 수 있었으며 체적변화율과 축방향 변형률에는 특별한 상관 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

MiStrut is a new method to establish structural stability in designing braced excavations by making a rigid connection between top-level steel beams and soldier beams. MiStrut has a function of working as a strut as well as supporting cover plates of top-level steel beams. The structural mechanism of MiStrut is supposed to reduce flexural deformation of soldier beams, which may lead to reduced lateral earth pressures behind excavation. In this research, for verification of the performance of MiStrut, shear-wave velocities of subsurface soil before and after excavation was compared. The rigid connection of main girder beams with soldir beams reduced shear-wave velocity by 67% and lateral earth pressures by 90%, which indicates that MiStrut is effective development in reducing lateral earth pressures on braced excavation.

When a lateral load is applied to a short pile whose embedded depth is relatively smaller than its diameter, an overturning failure occurs. To investigate the behavior of laterally loaded short piles, several model tests in laboratory scales had been carried out, however the behavior of large moment carrying piles for electric poles, traffic sign and road lamp, etc. have not been revealed yet. This paper deals with the real-scale load tests for 750 mm diameter short piles. To simulate the actual loading condition, very large moment was mobilized by applying lateral loads to the location 8 m away from the pile head. Three load tests changing the pile embedded lengths to 2.0 m, 2.5 m, and 3.0 m were carried out. The test piles overturned abruptly with very small displacement and rotation before the failures. These brittle failures are in contrast with the ductile failures shown in the former model tests with the relatively smaller moment to lateral load ratio. Comparisons of the test results with three existing methods for the estimation of the ultimate lateral capacity show that the method assuming the rotation point at pile tip matches well when the embedded depth is small, however, as the embedded depth increases the other two methods assuming the inversion of soil pressure with respect to rotation points in pile length match better.

최근 들어 전력 사용량의 증가로 인한 화력발전소의 부산물인 석탄회 중 바텀애시와 각종 공공사업과 관련하여 해마다 현장발생토의 발생량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 바텀애시와 현장발생토사를 효과적으로 재활용하는 방법 중 유동성 뒤채움재를 개발하여 활용하는 방안을 모색하기 위한 연구이다. SP로 분류된 흙 현장발생토와 서천 화력발전소에서 발생하는 석탄회 중 입경이 0.9~1.5mm의 바텀애시만을 선별하여 현장발생토와 바텀애시의 비율을 7 : 3으로 변환한 최적배합을 선정하여 강재로 제작된 가로 80cm, 세로 60cm, 높이 90cm의 모형토조를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 사용상 지하 매설이 되는 관의 거동 특성은 확인하기 위하여 내경 30cm, 두께 8mm의 연선관 중 하나인 PVC관을 원형지하매설관으로 선정하여 배합을 타설하는 과정과 타설 후 7일간의 양생기간을 거친 후 차량하중으로 가정할 수 있는 하중을 가하여 원형지하매설관의 관외부에서 수직방향과 수평방향의 토압과 관내부의 수직 수평방향 변위 그리고 관 자체의 횡 종단 변형을 측정하여 원형지하매설관의 거동특성을 파악하였다. 타설시 지하매설관은 유동성 뒤채움재의 특성으로 인하여 시간이 지남에 따라 안정화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최대하중을 3300kgf로 하여 하중 재하 후 지하매설관의 거동특성은 대체적으로 일반 모래를 사용하여 실험한 값보다 적은 변형 특성을 보이고 있으나 수평토압의 경우 일반적인 흙의 변형과 전혀 상이한 결과값을 보이는 경우도 있어 추가적인 실험 및 고찰의 필요하다. 본 실험에서 사용한 최적배합비 이외의 배합으로 같은 실험을 수행하여 바텀애시 량의 가감 및 재활용 재료인 폐타이어 고무칩등을 첨가한 실험을 계획하고 있으며 추후 실내시험과 모형실험을 토대로 유한요소해석을 추가로 시행하여 실험값과 해석값의 비교를 할 예정이다.

The rockbolt functions as a main support, which restricts enlargement of the plasticity area and increases stability in the original ground around tunnels, and prevents a second deformation of an excavated surface by supplementing vulnerability arising from opening of the excavated surface. System bolting is generally applied if ground conditions are bad. System bolting is generally installed perpendicular to the excavation direction in every span. If a place is narrow, or it is difficult to insert bolts due to construction conditions, it may be connected and used with short bolts, or installed obliquely. In this study, laboratory model tests were performed to analyze the effect of the ground being reinforced by inclined bolts, based on a bending theory that assumes that the reinforced ground is a simple beam. In all test cases, deflections and vertical earth pressures induced by overburden soil pressure were measured. Total of 99 model tests were carried out, by changing the installation angle of bolts, lateral and longitudinal distance of bolts, and soil height. The model test results indicated that when the installation angle of bolts was less than $75^{\circ}$, deflections of model beams tended to increase rapidly. Also, the relaxed load that was calculated by earth pressure was rapidly increased when the installation angle of bolts was less than $75^{\circ}$. However, the optimum installation angle of inclined bolts was judged to be in the range of $90^{\circ}{\sim}75^{\circ}$. Also, as might be expected, the reinforcement effect of bolts was increased when the longitudinal and lateral distance of bolts was decreased.

Terzaghi proposed a 2D formula for arching based on the assumption of a vertical sliding surface induced in the upper part due to the downward movement of a trapdoor. The formula was later expanded to consider 3D tunnel excavation conditions under inclined sliding surfaces. This study further extends the expanded formula to consider the effects of different ground properties and inclined sliding conditions in the transverse and longitudinal directions considering anisotropic ground conditions, as well as 3D tunnel excavation conditions. The 3D formula proposed in this study was examined of the induced vertical stress under various conditions (ground property, inclined sliding surface, excavation condition, surcharge pressure, earth pressure coefficient) and compared with the 2D Terzaghi formula. The examination indicated that the induced vertical stress increased as the excavation width and length increased, the inclination angle increased, the cohesion and friction angle decreased, the earth pressure coefficient decreased, and the surcharge pressure increased. Under the conditions examined, the stress was more affected at low excavation lengths and by the ground properties in the transverse direction. In addition, The comparison with the 2D Terzaghi formula showed that the induced vertical stress was lower and the difference was highly affected by the ground properties, inclined sliding conditions, and 3D tunnel excavation conditions. The proposed 3D arching formula could help to provide better understanding of complex arching phenomena in tunnel construction.

The conventional single-core PBDs have been widely used in order to accelerate consolidation settlement of soft grounds. When using the single-core PBD in a thick clay deposit, a delay of consolidation may occur due to high confining pressure in the thick deposit and necking of drains. This study is to compare the performances of soil improvement by the single-core and double-core PBD installed at a site in Busan New Port which exhibits approximately a 40m-thick clay layer. An in-situ test program was performed at the test site where a set of the double-core PBDs and single-core PBDs were installed to compare the efficiency of each drain. In addition, the discharge capacity of each PBD has been measured using the modified Delft Test. A series of laboratory tests for estimating in-situ soil properties have also been performed in order to obtain input parameters for a numerical program ILLICON. The discharge capacity of the double-core PBD is higher than that of the single-core PBD in the modified Delft Test. However it is observed from the comparative in-situ test and numerical analysis that there is no difference in the performance of ground improvement between the two drain systems. This discrepancy comes from the fact that the amount of water released during consolidation in most common field conditions is much smaller than the capacity of even the single core PBD. And thus, considering actual field conditions, it can be concluded that the single-core PBD has enough discharge capacity even in the thick clay deposit such as this test site.

For the design of compression anchor, three things should be considered. The first is a resistance force by skin friction, the second is a tension strength of tendon, and the third is a compressive strength of grout. Especially, compressive strength of grout is the most important design parameter of compression anchor. When compression anchor is pulled out from the ground, the compressive strength of grout increases by confining pressure of ground($\sigma_{tg$). Here, $\sigma_{tg$ is the confining pressure which is produced by earth pressure at rest and by lateral expansion of grout. We call this phenomenon of increase of confining pressure "poisson effect". In this paper, the design method of compression anchor called SSC anchor and the computer program for the design are developed through compression tests of anchor body grout.ody grout.
