A new borehole roughness and verticality measurement system (BKS-LRPS) for rock socketed drilled shafts were developed and verified its field application. The stability of BKS-LRPS was verified for several field conditions, which included the effect of measuring unit shaking, the application of water/air calibration factors, and the resistance of high water pressure inside piles. Also, effective measurement distances for various conditions of turbidity were defined in the field by measuring borehole roughness and vertical alignment for 6 drilled shafts. Vertical alignments for all drilled shafts could be measured by BKS-LRPS. However, borehole roughness was not able to be measured due to high turbidity caused by RCD drilling processing. Based on the BKS-LRPS field verification, BKS-LRPS is the first borehole roughness and verticality measurement system applying both in the water and air.

Recently, construction of high-rise buildings have been increased all around the world, and their foundation are designed to carry heavy loads form superstructures. For this reason, the use of drilled shafts have been increased, and the proper understanding of drilled shafts have been issued, especially for socket roughness and vertical offsets. In this study, the BKS-LRPS using laser sensor was developed for the measurement of socket roughness and vertical offsets for the first time in Korea. The BKS-LRPS was applied for measuring of socket roughness and also vertical offsets at the specific field sites. Based on this study, BKS-LRPS was successfully applied for measurement of socket roughness and vertical offsets the in the fields, and more appropriate quality control for the vertical offsets have to be needed.

Based on recent studies, the side resistance of rock socketed drilled shafts was affected by unconfined compressive strength of rock, socket roughness, rock types and joints, and initial normal stress. Especially, the socket roughness was affected by rock types and joints, drilling methods, and diameters of pile. In this study, a new roughness measurement system (BKS-LRPS, Backyoung-KyungSung Laser Roughness Profiling System) usable in water was developed. Based on the laboratory model tests, an EMD (Effective Measurement Distances) according to various turbidity was proposed as EMD=$1149.2{\times}T^{-0.64}_b$.

Based on recent studies on rock socketed drilled shafts, it was found that the side resistance of rock socketed drilled shafts is affected by unconfined compressive strength of rock, socket roughness, rock types and joints, and initial normal stress. Especially, the socket roughness is affected by rock types and joints, drilling methods, and diameters. Since existing roughness measurement systems could be conducted only in the air, a new roughness measurement system, which can measure rock socket roughness in the air and also in the water, is needed. However, the development of new roughness measurement system fur civil engineers has been faced with difficulties of electrical applications. In this study, the laboratory verification system far BKS-LRPS (Backyoung-KyungSung Laser Roughness Profiling System) was developed, which can be applied both in the water and air. Based on the laboratory verification, it was found that the improved BKS-LRPS could define effective measurement distances for the conditions reflecting the apparatus and in-situ situations.

Recently, researches for side resistances of drilled shafts considering socket roughness have been conducted actively. In order for these researches, roughness measurement devices using laser sensor were developed by two research groups. The devices were only applied in boreholes with dry conditions. In this research, a roughness measurement devices using the laser sensor (BKS-LRPS) was developed, which could apply in wet conditions and also measure vertical offsets of drilled shafts. In addition, the application of the laser sensor to the geotechnical engineering proposed in this paper.
