In this paper, consolidation settlements with time at vertical drain sites were predicted by artificial neural networks. Laboratory test results and field measurements of two vertical drain sites were used for training and testing neural networks. Predicted consolidation settlements by trained artificial neural networks were compared with measured settlements by field instrumentation. To improve the prediction accuracy, modular artificial neural networks were studied. From the results of applying artificial neural networks to the same situation, it was shown that modular artificial neural network model was more accurate for the prediction of the consolidation settlements than the general model.

This paper describes that estimation methods for the distribution of consolidation settlements to investigate the influence of distribution characteristics of compression index on the spatial distribution of consolidation settlements. When the variation of compression index is considerable, the spatial distribution of compression index is estimated using ordinary cokriging. The spatial distribution of consolidation settlements estimated by considering both the variation of compression index and void ratio (CASE-1) is different from the conventional mean value of all soil properties (CASE-2). The settlement of CASE-1 shows the larger variation at short distances rather than that of CASE-2. Whereas the spatial settlement distribution of CASE-1 is affected by the spatial distribution of compression index and the thickness of consolidation layer, the distribution of CASE-2 is significantly influenced by the distribution of the thickness of consolidation layer.

Performance of ground improvement project using prefabricated vertical drains of condition, in which approximately 10m dredged fill overlies original soft foundation layer in the coastal area has been conducted. From field monitoring results, excessive ground settlement compared to predicted settlement in design stage developed during the following one year. In order to predict the final consolidation behavior, recalculation of consolidation settlements and back analysis using observed settlements were conducted. Field monitoring results of surface settlements were evaluated, and then corrected because large shear deformation was occurred by construction events in the early stages of consolidation. To predict the consolidation behavior, material functions and in-situ conditions from laboratory consolidation test were re-analyzed. Using these results, height of additional embankment is estimated to satisfy residual settlement limit and maintain an adequate ground elevation. The recalculated time-settlement curve has been compared to field monitoring results after additional surcharge was applied.

Ground settlements and pore pressure changes were monitored around a shallow tunnel constructed in clay till during the excavation and primary lining installation. The settlements above the tunnel continued to develop for up to 100 days after the primary lining installation. Triaxial compression tests were carried out to estimate the short-term and long-term deformation characteristics of the till. Numerical simulation was conducted to history match the field measurements, and thus, to quantify the settlements induced by ground stress relief, consolidation and creep. It was found that the surface settlements due to ground stress relief, consolidation and creep are 17, 12 and 71% of total settlement (about 44 mm), respectively. In addition, early installation of rigid concrete lining could be an effective means to reduce the settlement due to creep.

In this study, it was proposed that an equation for predicting consolidation settlement on soft clay ground, which separate total settlement into primary and secondary consolidation settlement equation. The consolidation settlements by the proposed equation and by the measured settlements from laboratory model test were compared and verified for its application. It was appeared that the proposed equation from the laboratory model test approach to be more realistic comparing to !the result of Terzaghi's equation. From the above application, it was concluded that the final settlement prediction by. the Hyperbolic, Asaoka methods is needed to the initial settlement but the proposed equation could be much applicable in the lacking condition of measured data of the initial period.

본 연구에서는 해안 준설매립지반에 대한 연약지반 개량사례를 이용하여 연적배수공법 적용시의 현장계측 및 압밀침하 해석을 실시하였다. 대상현장은 원지반위에 대략 10m의 준설매립을 통해 조성된 부지로서 고함수비 및 고압축성의 해성점토로 구성되어 있다. 1년 동안의 현장 계측결과, 당초 설계시의 예측침하량에 비해 매우 큰 압밀침하가 발생하였고, 이 조건에서의 향후 침하거동을 예측하기 위한 추가 압밀침하 해석 및 계측결과를 이용한 역해석을 실시하였다. 상부시공 영향 등에 의해 준설매립지반에는 과다한 전단변형이 발생하였으며, 이에 대한 현장 계측결과의 평가 및 보정을 실시하였다. 압밀해석 및 원지반 조건을 평가하기 위해 실내시험 결과를 이용한 물질함수분석을 실시하였으며, 최종적으로 부지 인도후의 잔류침하량 및 최종 지반고를 만족시키기 위한 추가 성토고를 산정하였다. 추가 성토이후의 현장 계측결과와 당초 예측했던 압밀침하 거동을 비교하였으며, 이를 통해 당초 예측내용에 대한 검증을 수행할 수 있었다.

Consolidation settlements on soft clay are often large and potentially damaging to structures. Currently, large-scale projects are in progress in Korea. These structures will be constructed on both thick and soft clay layers, and so the accurate evaluation of magnitude of settlement is required at every step in design and construction. Especially, secondary compression play an important role in consolidation settlements on soft clay. Generally, the magnitudes of secondary compression are evaluated by laboratory and in-situ consolidation tests or by empirical $C_{a/}$ $C_{c}$ relationships. The empirical $C_{a/}$ $C_{c}$ may not be only economical, but a fast and powerful tool in estimating secondary consolidation settlement. However, databases of the $C_{a/}$ $C_{c}$ relationship for sites in Korea are currently insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of $C_{a/}$ $C_{c}$, on marine clay near the southern sea in Korea. In this study a series of incremental loading consolidation tests (measuring base pore water pressure) are performed. It was found that the $C_{a/}$ $C_{c}$ on undisturbed marine clay equaled 0.0397. This value is similar to the value proposed by Mesri and Castro(1987) for inorganic clay and silt. and silt. and silt.

A new type of soft ground breakwater was recently developed, which does not need ground improvement because of light weight and structural characteristics. The various studies about consolidation settlements and lateral behavior of proposed soft ground breakwater have been conducted. But, the systematic investigations on the construction performance and long-term settlements of new type breakwater has not been accomplished. In this study, construction simulation of soft ground breakwater with soil box model test and experiments of the long-term wave loaded breakwater were performed. The results of test shows that it is possible to compensate differential settlements by dead loading and/or suction pressure, and to reduce the consolidation settlements by preloading method. It was also found that the vertical and lateral displacements of long-term wave loaded breakwater were negligible.

연약 점토지반에서의 2차 압밀침하량은 일반적으로 전체 압밀침하량에 비해 미소하고 2차 압밀까지의 종료시간도 상당히 길기 때문에 이를 무시하는 경우가 많으나 유기질 또는 고압축성의 점토에서는 비교적 큰 침하량이 발생하기 때문에 중요한 공학적 요소로 간주된다. 이러한, 준설매립지반의 잔류침하량을 저감시키기 위해선 선행재하공법(preloading)이 주로 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 매립지역의 장기침하량을 보다 합리적으로 결정하기 위하여 실내에서 단계재하 압밀시험 및 surcharging 압밀시험 등을 수행하였다. 서해안(인천) 및 남해안(광양) 일대의 대규모 준설매립지역에서 시료를 채취했으며, 이 지역내 준설점토의 2차 압밀특성치들을 실험으로 규명하여 장기침하량 예측에 필요한 기초자료로 활용하였다. 또한, 지리정보체계(geographic information system, 이하 GIS)의 위치정보(수치지도)에 지반정보(속성자료)를 접목시켜 해당지역의 자료를 D/B화 한 후, GIS의 연산기능 및 공간추정 기능 등을 활용함으로써 대규모 준설매립지역의 2차 압밀침하량을 예측하였다.

얕은 터널의 시공에 있어 지표 침하는 주요 관리 사항으로 쉴드 TBM 기술을 적용함으로써 굴착 중 지반 변형의 제어를 통하여 침하를 경감시키는 것이 가능하며, 특히 뒤채움 주입은 침하 경감의 목적으로 쉴드 공법에서는 일반적으로 적용되는 기술이다. 투수성이 낮은 지반에서의 TBM 시공에 의한 지표 침하는 터널 시공 중에 발생할 뿐만 아니라, 터널 관통 후에도 장기간에 걸쳐 발생한다. 장기 침하는 주로 터널 주변의 압밀에 의해 발생되고, 이 압밀 과정은 터널 주변에 과잉간극수압을 유발하는 뒤채움 주입에 의해 영향을 받게 되며 결과적으로 쉴드 TBM 터널에서는 뒤채움 주입이 장기 침하에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 쉴드 TBM 공법 중 뒤채움 주입이 지표 침하에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 3차원 응력-간극수압 연계해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 뒤채움 주입압의 증가는 단기 침하를 경감시키지만, 다수의 경우에서 장기 침하의 감소에 기여를 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 장기 침하를 최소한으로 제한할 수 있는 한계 주입압의 존재를 확인하였다.
