The Incheon Bridge, which was opened to the traffic in October 2009, is an 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge connecting the Incheon International Airport with the expressway networks around the Seoul metropolitan area by way of Songdo District of Incheon City. This bridge is an integration of several special featured bridges and the major part of the bridge consists of cable-stayed spans. This marine cable-stayed bridge has a main span of 800 m wide to cross the vessel navigation channel in and out of the Incheon Port. In waterways where ship collision is anticipated, bridges shall be designed to resist ship impact forces, and/or, adequately protected by ship impact protection (SIP) systems. For the Incheon Bridge, large diameter circular dolphins as SIP were made at 44 locations of the both side of the main span around the piers of the cable-stayed bridge span. This world's largest dolphin-type SIP system protects the bridge against the collision with 100,000 DWT tanker navigating the channel with speed of 10 knots. Diameter of the dolphin is up to 25 m. Vessel collision risk was assessed by probability based analysis with AASHTO Method-II. The annual frequency of bridge collapse through the risk analysis for 71,370 cases of the impact scenario was less than $0.5{\times}10^{-4}$ and satisfies design requirements. The dolphin is the circular sheet pile structure filled with crushed rock and closed at the top with a robust concrete cap. The structural design was performed with numerical analyses of which constitutional model was verified by the physical model experiment using the geo-centrifugal testing equipment. 3D non-linear finite element models were used to analyze the structural response and energy-dissipating capability of dolphins which were deeply embedded in the seabed. The dolphin structure secures external stability and internal stability for ordinary loads such as wave and current pressure. Considering failure mechanism, stability assessment was performed for the strength limit state and service limit state of the dolphins. The friction angle of the crushed stone as a filling material was reduced to $38^{\circ}$ considering the possibility of contracting behavior as the impact.

쇄석다짐말뚝(GCP)은 연약지반의 지지력 증가와 침하량의 감소를 실현할 수 있어 연약지반 개량에 활발하게 사용되고 있다. GCP 설계에 필요한 응력분담비는 치환율, 상재하중, 깊이 등에 따라 달라진다. 많은 연구자들이 현장실험, 실내실험, 수치해석 연구를 통해 쇄석으로 이루어진 GCP에 대해 치환율에 따른 응력분담비를 제시하였으나, 쇄석과 모래의 배합비에 따른 응력분담비에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선행연구 분석과 수치해석을 통해 배합비와 치환율에 따른 응력분담비를 명확히 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS 6.12-4를 사용하여 GCP가 시공된 복합지반을 모델링하여 배합비와 치환율에 따라 복합지반의 과잉간극수압과 응력분담비를 분석하였다. 선행연구 분석결과, GCP 복합지반의 응력분담비에 관한 연구에서 일반적으로 현장에서 정재하시험, 실내시험, 수치해석을 통해 얻은 응력분담비는 각각 1.7~3, 2~7.5, 2~6.5 범위로 나타났으며, 쇄석과 모래의 배합비에 관한 연구에서는 일반적으로 클로깅현상을 저감시키기 위해 실내실험 한 결과로 쇄석과 모래의 최적배합비가 70:30으로 나타났다. 수치해석결과, 일반적인 GCP 복합지반의 치환율이 증가함에 따라 응력분담비가 치환율 30%까지는 증가하다가 40%에서는 다시 감소하는 경향이 나타났으며, 쇄석과 모래의 배합비에 따른 응력분담비는 일반적으로 모래의 함유량이 증가함에 따라 쇄석과 모래의 배합비가 70:30까지는 증가하다가 60:40 이후에 다시 감소하는 경향이 나타났다.
