This study was conducted to develop the mathmatical model for predicting the side thrust which is generated by the shearing action on the vertical surfaces of the sides of the track. Experiments were conducted with the three different shear plates with grouser length of 1, 3 and 5 cm for two different soil condition using soil bin system. The measured side thrust were compared with the values predicted by the new model developed in this study and by Bekker's model respectively. The values of side thrust predicted by the new model were more close to the measured values than those of the side thrust predicted by Bekker's model . The total thrust measured were also compared with the values predicted by the conventional model which considers only bottom thrust effect and by the new model which contains not only bottom thurst but side thrust effect. The values of the thrust predicted by conventional modelwere lower than measured values for both of the soil conditions and the three levels of grouser length. The maximum errors of conventional model were increased with the increase of grouser length. but the values of the total thrust predicted by the model developed in this study were well matched to the measured ones for both of the soil conditions and the three levels of grouser lengths.

The probabilistic bearing capacity of a strip footing placed on the edge of a purely cohesive reinforced soil slope is computed by combining lower bound finite element limit analysis technique with random field method and Monte Carlo simulation technique. To simulate actual field condition, anisotropic random field model of undrained soil shear strength is generated by using the Cholesky-Decomposition method. With the inclusion of a single layer of reinforcement, dimensionless bearing capacity factor, N always increases in both deterministic and probabilistic analysis. As the coefficient of variation of the undrained soil shear strength increases, the mean N value in both unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces for particular values of correlation length in horizontal and vertical directions. For smaller correlation lengths, the mean N value of unreinforced and reinforced slopes is always lower than the deterministic solutions. However, with the increment in the correlation lengths, this difference reduces and at a higher correlation length, both the deterministic and probabilistic mean values become almost equal. Providing reinforcement under footing subjected to eccentric load is found to be an efficient solution. However, both the deterministic and probabilistic bearing capacity for unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces with the consideration of loading eccentricity.

사례 연구를 통해서 실제 세립토 교량현장에 대해 기존 교량세굴 해석모델들의 적용성을 분석하였다. 하상이 실트질 점토로 구성된 강화 초지대교를 대상교량으로 선정하여 현장조사를 실시하였다. 초음파 센서장비를 이용하여 교각주변의 세굴심을 직접 측정하였으며, 불교란시료를 채취하여 지반공학적 특성을 결정하고, 또한 세굴률 실험을 통해 대상 지반의 유속별 세굴률을 분석하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 기존에 제안된 대표적인 교량세굴 해석모델들을 이용하여 주요 교각의 세굴심을 예측하여 실측 세굴심과 비교하였다. 지반의 침식특성을 고려하지 않는 기존의 교량세굴 해석모델들은 모두 3.6∼6.5의 비율로 세굴심을 과대평가하는 경향을 보였으며, SRICOS 방법은 실측세굴심에 비해 1.7배의 합리적인 결과를 보여주었다.

The problem of laterally loaded piles is particularly a complex soil-structure interaction problem. The flexural stresses developed due to the combined action of axial load and bending moment must be evaluated in a realistic and rational manner for safe and economical design of pile foundation. The paper reports the finite element analysis of pile groups. For this purpose simplified models along the lines similar to that suggested by Desai et al. (1981) are used for idealizing various elements of the foundation system. The pile is idealized one dimensional beam element, pile cap as two dimensional plate element and the soil as independent closely spaced linearly elastic springs. The analysis takes into consideration the effect of interaction between pile cap and soil underlying it. The pile group is considered to have been embedded in cohesive soil. The parametric study is carried out to examine the effect of pile spacing, pile diameter, number of piles and arrangement of pile on the responses of pile group. The responses considered include the displacement at top of pile group and bending moment in piles. The results obtained using the simplified approach of the F.E. analysis are further compared with the results of the complete 3-D F.E. analysis published earlier and fair agreement is observed in the either result.

The index properties of cohesive soils play an important role to examine entire tendency of soil properties. Especially, the Atterberg limits have a good correlation with compression and shear strength of cohesive soils. However, these values strongly depend on their testing methods. In this study, for Pusan clays the Atterberg limits were peformed under different conditions; for example, four kinds of specimen preparation, two kinds of testing equipment, and four kinds of estimating method. And a laboratory vane test was peformed to compare the undrained shear strength with that of the fall cone test. As experimental results, the value of liquid limit performed for oven-dried sample, followed in ASTM D4318, underestimated by about 10% compared to those of another three methods, irrespective to the used equipments. But the value of plastic limit was not influenced by sample preparation methods and equipments. The liquid limits by one-point methods(Leroueil et al., 1996; Nagaraj et al., 1981) were agreed well with those of different methods. Finally, the undrained shear strength by laboratory vane test was relatively larger than that of fall cone test, and the relationship between both showed a bad trend.

압밀응력비, 과압밀비 및 반복재하를 포함하는 압밀응력이력이 점성토의 비배수전단강도에 미치는 영향에 관해서 연구하였다. $(S_u/\sigma'_{vc})ckou/(S_U/\sigma_{vc})cuv$의 강도비는 과압밀비가 증가함에 따라 증가됨이 관찰되었다. Mayne(1980)이 과압밀점토의 비배수전단강도를 추정하기 위해 제안한 식(1)과 Yasuhara(1994)가 반복재하로 인해 발생된 간극수압이 소산된 후의 비 배수전단강도를 구하기 위해 제안한 식(4)는 Ko압밀상태에서도 비교적 잘 적용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이들 두 식중의 원위치전단강도를 위한 한계상태간극수압정수 A.값은 조금 과압밀된 점토의 경우(OCR< 3) 표준압밀시험에 의해서 구할 것을 제안하였다.

말뚝의 허용횡방향지지력을 결정하는 방법으로는 지반반력법과 극한횡방향지지력에 근거한 방법이 많이 쓰이고 있는데 설계시 지반반력법에 근거한 방법만을 적용하는 경우가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반조건과 말뚝머리 구속조건 그리고 말뚝길이에 따른 말뚝의 허용지지력을 이들 두 가지 방법을 적용하여 구하고 상호 비교함으로써 해석에서 고려한 조건들이 말뚝의 허용횡방향지지력 결정법에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 말뚝머리 구속조건 및 말뚝길이에 상관없이 연약 점성토 지반에 설치된 말뚝의 경우 지반반력법에 의한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있었고 점성토의 비배수강도가 커짐에 따라 극한횡방향지지력을 통한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있다. 사질토 지반에 설치된 말뚝의 경우 느슨한 사질토지반에 설치된 말뚝머리 자유인 짧은말뚝의 경우를 제외하고 모든 경우에 있어 극한횡방향지지력을 통한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있다. 횡방향말뚝의 설게시 허용 횡방향변위량에 근거한 설계만으로 충분하다는 견해도 있지만 본 연구결과에 따르면 극한횡방향지지력에 근거한 허용횡방향지지력의 계산 또한 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 수평지반반력계수는 허용횡방향변위량 이내에서는 말뚝폭에 큰 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었으며 실제 많이 쓰이는 말뚝폭의 범위인 20~90cm 인 경우 말뚝폭의 영향을 무시해도 될 것으로 생각된다.

The study deals with the physical modeling of a typical building frame resting on pile foundation and embedded in cohesive soil mass using complete three-dimensional finite element analysis. Two different pile groups comprising four piles ($2{\times}2$) and nine piles ($3{\times}3$) are considered. Further, three different pile diameters along with the various pile spacings are considered. The elements of the superstructure frame and those of the pile foundation are descretized using twenty-node isoparametric continuum elements. The interface between the pile and pile and soil is idealized using sixteen-node isoparametric surface elements. The current study is an improved version of finite element modeling for the soil elements compared to the one reported in the literature (Chore and Ingle 2008). The soil elements are discretized using eight-, nine- and twelve-node continuum elements. Both the elements of superstructure and substructure (i.e., foundation) including soil are assumed to remain in the elastic state at all the time. The interaction analysis is carried out using sub-structure approach in the parametric study. The total stress analysis is carried out considering the immediate behaviour of the soil. The effect of various parameters of the pile foundation such as spacing in a group and number piles in a group, along with pile diameter, is evaluated on the response of superstructure. The response includes the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The soil-structure interaction effect is found to increase displacement in the range of 58 -152% and increase the absolute maximum positive and negative moments in the column in the range of 14-15% and 26-28%, respectively. The effect of the soil- structure interaction is observed to be significant for the configuration of the pile groups and the soil considered in the present study.

The PMT test results are compared with other in situ test such as Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT), Field Vane Test (FVT) and the laboratory test in order to investigate the correlationships for the strength parameters obtained from Busan and Incheon areas. Many proposed correlation formulas also make a comparative study and new correlation formulas for domestic soils are introduced. Limit pressure ( $P_1$) could be determined by P-log($\Delta$V/V) and Relative volume Method. PMT for the granular soils showed relatively high correlation with SPT, while CPT has good correlation with PMT for cohesive soil. The predicted undrained shear test ( $S_{u}$) by the PMT test results for Incheon and Busan samples showed low correlativity with proposed equations, therefore, new correlation formulas are proposed for domestic soils.s.
