A suite of 3D large deformation finite element (FE) analyses was performed to investigate the load transfer mechanism and penetration resistance of spudcan foundations in heterogeneous soil profile consisting of sand and clay. The Elasto-Plastic models following Mohr-Coulomb and Tresca failure criteria were adopted for sand and clay, respectively. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated against centrifuge test measurements. The dense sand behavior with dilation is modeled using the non-associated flow rule. An investigation study consisting of key parameters, which includes variation in soil stratigraphy (sand-clay, sand-clay-sand), strength parameters of sand and clay (��' and su) and normalized height ratio of the sand layer (Hs/D) was conducted to assess the penetration behavior of spudcan. Based on calculated outputs, it was demonstrated that these parameters have a significant influence on the penetration resistance of spudcan. The calculated penetration resistance profiles are compared with the published (sand overlying clay) analytical model. It is confirmed that for the case of two-layer soil, the available theoretical model provides an accurate estimate of peak penetration resistance (qpeak). In the case of three-layer soil, the presence of a third stiff layer affects the penetration resistance profile due to the squeezing of the soil.

개착공법으로 원형 수직구 건설 시, 가시설 흙막이 벽체는 일정 수준의 변위를 허용하는 연성벽체로 설계된다. 합리적이고 경제적인 연성벽체의 구조 설계를 위해서는 벽체에 작용하는 토압을 정확히 평가할 필요가 있다. 원형 수직구 벽체에 작용하는 토압은 주변 지반의 소성 변형과 밀접하게 연관되어 있으나, 이에 대한 연구는 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구는 원형 수직구의 단계 굴착을 원심모형시험을 통해 모사하고, 원심모형시험 중 촬영된 이미지에 이미지 해석 기법을 적용하여 원형 수직구 굴착 시 주변 지반에 발생하는 변형을 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 모형실험과 수치해석을 수행하여 유한한 두께의 모래지반 위에 놓인 얕은 띠기초의 지지력 평가방법을 제안하였다. 모형실험은 현장에서 채취한 모래시료를 사용하여 모래지반의 상대밀도와 대상 기초폭(B) 에 대한 모래층 두께(H)의 비(H/B)를 변화시키면서 1g와 20g 중력수준의 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, H/B가 감소함에 따라 지지력은 증가하고 침하는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 상대밀도 증가에 따라 지지력이 증가하는 경향도 나타났다. 강성지반 위 두께가 얇은 모래층의 지지력 평가방법을 제안하기 위하여 실험 결과 얻은 지지력 계수를 H/B의 영향을 고려한 Mandel & Salencon(1972)의 수정지지력계수와 비교 분석하였다. H/B에 따른 지지력계수비 관계를 제안하여 보수적인 설계에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 기초 제원, 사질토 상대밀도, H/B를 변화시킨 수치해석을 실시한 결과, 제시된 관계식과 유사한 경향성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 점토층의 자중압밀을 시행하여 현장강도를 구현하기 위하여 1/70로 축소 모델링하여 원심모형실험을 수행하였으며, 점토구간에 PBD 타설시의 연약지반의 압밀침하거동을 분석하기 위하여서는 1/100로 축소모델링하여 원심모형실험과 전산해석을 실시하였다. 전산해석결과 성토체중심아래의 점토지반의 침하량은 1단계 성토제방하중 하에서 4.8개월 경과 후 최대 침하량은 41.1cm, 2단계 성토하중에서 4.2개월 경과 후의 최대침하량은 78.8, 3단계 성토하중에서 6개월 경과후의 침하량은 93.5cm의 침하가 발생하는 것으로 나타나 수치해석 결과와 원심모형실험결과 값의 유사한 경향을 확인하였다.

In this study, the characteristics of pullout behavior of Pressurized light-weight steel Anchor was investigated through centrifuge model tests considering pull-out angle $0^{\circ}$ with changing undrained shearstrength(0~1, 2~4, 5~7kPa) of clay. According to the results of tests, the yield pullout load of clay ground was gradually increased up to 30% as undrained shear strength was increased. Therefore, it was known that the yield pullout load was affected by increasing the undrained shear strength, in addition, the pattern of behavior was not changed.

This paper studies the effect of saturation of backfill on the seismic stability of reinforced soil walls (RSWs) using centrifuge shaking table tests. For comparison, degradation of static stability and seismic stability of a RSW under unsaturated condition was also investigated. Test results showed that the RSW under saturated condition had enough static stability. However, seismic stability of saturated RSW significantly decreased as compared with that under unsaturated condition. The saturated model RSW did not collapse, though it showed large deformation. It maintained sufficient stability after shakings although a clear slip surface appeared in the backfill. Finally, it is discussed how to evaluate residual stability of RSWs damaged by earthquakes with test results and the simple evaluation method proposed by authors.

This research is results of experimental and numerical works on characteristic of strength increase and bearing capacity in dredged and reclaimed soil due to desiccation shrinkage. For a soil sampled from southern coastal area in Korea, basic soil property tests and standard consolidation test with falling head permeability tests were carried out to obtain consolidational characteristics of soil. Double cone penetration test, laboratory vane test and unconfined compression test were also performed to investigate the change of shear strength with degree of desiccation. Model tests were performed in 1G environment and 30G level artificially accelerated condition by using the centrifuge model test facilities to investigate the bearing capacity of desiccated ground. Test results were analyzed by using the theoretical and load-settlement characteristics method proposed by Meyehof & Hanna(1978). On the other hands, the numerical technique, using the finite strain consolidation theory considering the effect of desiccation was used to estimate the appropriate time of using heavy construction equipments in field with respect to strength increase due to desiccation.

This paper conducts a complicated coupled effective stress analysis of X-section-in-place concrete (XCC) pile installation and consolidation processes using the dual-stage Eulerian-Lagrangian (DSEL) technique incorporating the modified Cam-clay model. The numerical model is verified by centrifuge data and field test results. The main objective of this study is to investigate the shape effect of XCC pile cross-section on radial total stress, excess pore pressure and time-dependent strength. The discrepancies of the penetration mechanism and set-up effects on pile shaft resistance between the XCC pile and circular pile are discussed. Particular attention is placed on the time-dependent strength around the XCC pile shaft. The results show that soil strength improved more significantly close to the flat side compared with the concave side. Additionally, the computed ultimate shaft resistance of XCC pile incorporating set-up effects is 1.45 times that of the circular pile. The present findings are likely helpful in facilitating the incorporation of set-up effects into XCC pile design practices.

In this paper, for the highly plastic marine soft clay distributed in west and southern coast of Korean peninsula of Kwangyang and Busan New Port areas, correlation between compression index and other indices representing geotechnical engineering properties such as liquid limit, void ratio and natural water content were analyzed. Appropriate empirical equations of being able to estimate the compressibility of clays in the specific areas were proposed and compared with other existing empirical ones. For analyses of the data and test results, data for marine clays were used from areas of the South Container Port of the Busan New Port, East Breakwater, Passenger Quay, Jungma Reclamation and Reclamation Containment in the 3rd stage in Kwangyang. In order to find the best regression model by using the commercially available software, MS EXCEL 2000, results obtained from the simple linear regression analysis, using the values of liquid limit, initial void ratio and natural water content as independent variables, were compared with the existing empirical equations. Multiple linear regression was also performed to find the best fit regression curves for compression index and other soil properties by combining those independent variables. On the other hands, another software of SPSS for non-linear regression was used to analyze the correlations between compression index and other soil properties.
