Conglomerates and core-stones are the typical composite geomaterials that are composed of a weak matrix and a strong pebble part. In general, we couldn't analyze the composite geomaterials by using emperical rock classification methods. In the study, a series of analyses of elastic behavior of composite geomaterials are carried out by using homogenization theory. 45-case models are made with considering 3 kind of factors such as gravel content, size and strength of matrix. Those are applicable to various composite geomaterials of conglomerates and core-stones. The size of analysis model is large enough to exceed REV.

In view of the mounting cost of rehabilitating deteriorating infrastructure, further compounded by intensified environmental concerns, it is now obvious that the evolvement and application of advanced composite structural materials to complement conventional construction materials is a necessity for sustainable construction. This study seeks alternative fill materials (polymer-based) to the much-limited cement concrete used in concrete-filled steel tubular structures. Polymers have been successfully used in other industries and are known to be much lighter, possess high tensile strength, durable and resistant to aggressive environments. Findings of this study relating to elasto-plastic characteristics of polymer concrete filled steel composite beams subjected to uniform bending highlight the enormous increase in stiffness, strength and ductility of the composite beams, over the empty steel tube. Moreover, polymer based materials were noted to present a wide array of properties that could be tailored to meet specific design requirements e.g., ductility based design or strength based design. Analytical formulations for design are also considered.

This paper presents a mathematical model for optimizing earthwork allocation plan that minimizes earthwork cost. The model takes into account operational constraints in the real-world earthwork such as material-type (i.e., quality level of material) and quantities excavated from cut-sections, required quality of material and quantities for each embankment layer, top-down cutting and bottom-up filling constraints, and allocation orders. These constraints are successfully handled by assuming the rock-earth material as the three dimensional (3D) blocks. The study is of value to project scheduler because the model identifies the optimal earth allocation plan (i.e., haul direction (cut and fill pairs), quantities of soil, type of material, and order of allocations) expeditiously and is developed as an automated system for usability. It is also relevant to estimator in that it computes more realistic earthworks costs estimation. The economic impact and validity of the mathematical model was confirmed by performing test cases.

Radon has been considered the greatest source of exposure within the total radiation exposure of the human body. xposure from radon, which exists in indoor air quality, lacks public perception, Radon, which exists anywhere on earth, is not regarded as a state of attention even if it is above the average level. Indoor radon exposure situations are not intentionally introduced, and essentially the attention and responsibilities of radon exposures are assumed to be in indoor occupants. So, these are caused by common uranium and thorium scattering on Earth, and are brought into the building by fine cracks or exposed indicators of the buildings. Therefore, this study aims to reduce the risk of radon rays and reduce radon, which induces diseases caused by breathing in the body of indoor air pollutants and emitting diseases by emitting alpha rays from the radon gas.

Earthmoving equipment's haul-route has a great influence on the productivity of the earth work operation. Haul-route grade is a critical factor in selecting the haul-route. The route that has low grade resistance contributes to increase machine travel speed and production. This study presents a mathematical model called "Hauling-Unit Optimal Routes Selecting system" (HUORS). The system identifies optimal path that maximize the earth-work productivity. It consists of 3 modules, i.e., (1) Module 1 which inputs site characteristic data and computes site location and elevation using GIS(Geographical Information System); (2) Module 2 which calculates haul time; (3) Module 3 which displays an optimum haul-route by considering the haul-route's gradient resistances (i.e., from the departure to the destination) and hauling time. This paper presents the system prototype in detail. A case study is presented to demonstrate the system and verifies the validity of the model.

Retaining structures are one of the most important elements in the stabilization of excavations and slopes in various engineering projects. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are widely used as retaining structures due to their flexibility, easy and economical construction. These benefits are especially prominent for projects built on soft and weak foundation soils, which have relatively low resistance and high compressibility. For high retaining walls on weak foundations, conventional design methods are not cost-effective. Therefore, two alternative solutions for different foundation weakness are proposed in this research: optimized multi-tiered MSE walls and single tier wall with foundation improvement. The cost optimization considers both the construction components and the land price. The results show that the optimal solution depends on several factors, including the foundation strength and more importantly, the land price. For low land price, the optimized multi-tiered wall is more economical, while for high land price (urban areas), the foundation improvement is preferable. As the foundation strength decreases, the foundation improvement becomes inevitable.

This paper reports a case study of aboutment displacement and pavement settlement observed at the construction site for highway bridges. The emphasis was on quantifying the horizontal deflections of about and pavement settlement on the backfill surface. It is shown that in soft clay, bridge aboutments on pile foundations are subjected to lateral earth pressures due to lateral soil movement. Based on the results analyzed, the earth pressure was predicted by deflection shape of piles based on the results of a numerical analysis and an analytical study. Also, the long term settlement of soil below pavement was estimated.

Recently, deep excavation for high-rise buildings occurs frequently to accommodate the rapidly increasing population in urban area. The stability of the earth retaining structures for deep excavation becomes more critical. The behavior of the earth retaining structures should be accurately predicted in a design stage, but the predicted behavior is different from the measured data due to uncertain soil properties and problems in construction. In this study the back-analysis using Powell's optimization theory was performed to match the measured deflection and results obtained from back-analysis were presented.

최근 해석프로그램과 시공기술의 발달에도 불구하고 많은 흙막이 가시설 공사현장에서 구조물의 붕괴로 인한 경제적 인적피해가 발생하고 있다. 이번 연구 현장의 지반조사 결과는 원래 설계시 조사결과와 다른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 경우에 지반조사 결과를 통해 산정된 매개변수는 오류가 있을 가능성이 있고, 그 지반정수를 활용하여 분석한 가시설 구조물의 거동분석도 비합리적임을 추정할 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 가시설 구조물에 영향을 주는 매개변수에 대한 상관성을 탄소성해석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석방법으로 탄소성해석법에 적용되는 주요 매개변수(점착력, 지반반력계수, 하중조건)를 변화시키고 그 변화로 인한 흙막이 가시설 재료(부재)의 거동을 분석하였다. 그 결과 점착력이 재료의 거동에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 흙막이 가시설의 설계에서 지반조사 결과와 실제 지반의 확인과 여러 매개 변수중에서 점착력의 정확하고 합리적인 산정이 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 대규모 지반굴착 조건에서 흙막이 벽체로 적용된 벽강관말뚝의 탄소성보 해석, 유한요소 해석 및 최적화 설계 등의 결과를 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고강도 내해수강 벽강관의 경우 부식에도 유리하고 허용응력이 커 구조적으로 우수하여 흙막이 벽체로써 활용성이 높고, C-Y형 이음부의 경우 기존 P-P형 대비 인장강도와 강성이 크게 개선되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 시공 중 벽체 누수나 결함이 발생하더라도 용접, 덧댐 시공 등으로 확실한 보수가 가능한 장점이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 벽강관 연속벽의 경우 CIP나 Slurry wall 대비 변위 순응 구조임과 동시에 동일 수평변위에 대하여 허용 휨응력이 매우 커 대심도 흙막이 측면에서 가장 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 대규모 편토압 조건에서의 지반굴착임을 고려하여 탄소성보해석 및 유한요소 해석을 실시하고, 그 결과를 상호 비교한 결과, 굴착 시 전체적인 거동, 벽체의 변위나 부재력 등 각 항목별 발생 최대값에 대해서도 두 방법간에는 정량적 수치가 유사한 것으로 나타나 추후 설계 시 두 해석방법 모두 적용가능한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 동일 직경에서 가장 두꺼운 두께의 중공형보다는 가장 얇은 두께에 콘크리트로 속채움하는 방법, 그리고 변위와 부재력의 급격한 변화가 없는 깊이 즉, 정상성 검토를 통한 근입길이 결정 시 경제적인 설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
