There are two primary causes of the ground movement due to tunnelling in urban areas; firstly the lost ground and secondly the groundwater depression during construction. The groundwater depression was usually not considered as a cause of settlement in previous research works. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the combined effect of these two phenomena on the transverse settlement trough. Centrifuge model tests and numerical analysis were primarily selected as the methodology. The characteristics of settlement trough were analyzed by performing centrifuge model tests where acceleration reached up to 80g condition. Two different types of tunnel models of 180 mm diameter were prepared in order to match the prototype of a large tunnel of 14.4 m diameter. A volume loss model was made to simulate the excavation procedure at different volume loss and a drainage tunnel model was made to simulate the reduction in pore pressure distribution. Numerical analysis was performed using FLAC 2D program in order to analyze the effects of various groundwater depression values on the settlement trough. Unconfined fluid flow condition was selected to develop the phreatic surface and groundwater level on the surface. The settlement troughs obtained in the results were investigated according to the combined effect of excavation and groundwater depression. Subsequently, a new curve is suggested to consider elastic settlement in the modified Gaussian curve. The results show that the effects of groundwater depression are considerable as the settlement trough gets deeper and wider compared to the trough obtained only due to excavation. The relationships of maximum settlement and infection point with the reduced pore pressure at tunnel centerline are also suggested.

지하수위 하강에 따른 침하량은 1차 압밀 침하량에 비해 비교적 작기 때문에 잔류침하량 산정시 별도로 고려하지 않는다. 그러나 고속철도 콘크리트 궤도에서의 허용잔류침하량은 30mm로 작기 때문에 예기치 못한 과도한 지하수위 하강으로 인하여 허용잔류침하량을 초과할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 응력-간극수압 유한요소 해석을 통하여 지하수위 변동에 따른 침하 영향을 분석하여 해석결과와 실측자료를 비교하였다. 그 결과 허용잔류침하량을 만족하기 위한 탄성계수 범위를 제시 하였으며 설계 시 지하수위 저하 영향이 반영되는 것이 타당하다고 판단된다.

A settlement prediction method based on shear wave velocity measurements and soil nonlinearity was recently developed and verified by means of centrifuge tests. However, the method was only applicable to heavily overconsolidated soil deposits under enlarged yield surfaces. In this study, the settlement evaluation method was refined to consider the stress history of the sublayer, based on an overconsolidation ratio evaluation technique, and thereby incorporate irrecoverable plastic deformation in the settlement calculation. A relationship between the small-strain shear modulus and overconsolidation ratio, which can be determined from laboratory tests, was adopted to describe the stress history of the subsurface. Based on the overconsolidation ratio determined, the value of an empirical coefficient that reflects the effect of plastic deformation over the elastic region is determined by comparing the overconsolidation ratio with the stress increment transmitted by the surface design load. The refined method that incorporate this empirical coefficient was successfully validated by means of centrifuge tests, even under normally consolidated loading conditions.

This paper investigates the effects of micro-tunneling on buried pipelines parametrically. A simplified numerical approach was developed and various parametric studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of ground settlements on the response of buried pipelines. The controlled parameters included the pipe stiffness, ground loss magnitude, and pipe location with respect to a micro-tunnel. Maximum settlement and curvature along a pipeline have been investigated and compared among others for different conditions. In addition, the numerical results have been compared with a theoretical method by Attewell et al. (1986), which is based on a Winkler type linear-elastic solution. The comparison indicated that the response of buried pipes to micro-tunneling-induced ground settlements highly depends on the soil-pipe interaction including the separation and slippage of pipe from soil with the effects of the investigated parameters. Therefore, rather than using the theoretical method directly, it would be a better assessment of the response of buried pipelines to consider the soil-pipe interaction in more realistic conditions.

In this study, performance of reinforced railroad roadbeds with the slag(HMS-25) and soil were investigated through the real scale railroad roadbed tests. Several real scale reinforced railroad roadbeds were constructed in the laboratory with different subgrade conditions and were tested with the estimated actual train loads including the impact loading of train. The affecting factors such as plastic ＆ elastic settlement roadbed layers as well as surface of rails were measured. The settlement at rail surface and roadbed surface of case of soil and slag roadbed comparative with good roadbed site were 2.3, 5.7 times and 1.9, 1.6 times, respectively.

In this research problems of recent design methods and their improvement for SIP in domestic areas were studied by using the characteristics of load-settlement curves and bearing capacity from field loading tests. Elastic and plastic settlement for total settlement in each loading step conducted domestic areas had a tendency. From these tendency and bearing capacity determined by loading tests we can ascertain that empirical chart can be assistant tool in SIP design. It showes that SIP design using N-value in domestic area with soil condition of grarute type results in very conservative bearing capacity, to be opposed in soil with unprofitable geological condition the design can be insecure. Also, we can ascertain that Meyerhof's bearing capacity used modified N-value on tip part of pile is more applicable than recent design method where tip bearing capacity is 20NAp N-value limited to 50. These results show that modified design method can he more economic than before because of using pile's bearing capacity to tolerable load of pile material.

In this study, performance of reinforced railroad roadbeds with the reinforced roadbed materials were investigated through the real scale roadbed tests. It was also found that the reinforced roadbed with reinforced roadbed materials has less elastic and plastic settlement than the one with soil. The slag roadbed was more effective than the crushed stone roadbed with the same condition for load distribution. Therefore considering overall characteristics of reinforced roadbed material, the optimum thickness was recommended as 50 cm. Furthermore the real scale model test under the simulated rainfall condition, the settlement in the slag roadbed was about 8 times smaller than the settlement in the soil roadbed.

In practical design of girder bridges or reinforced concrete slab bridges with T-type piers, it is usually assumed that vertical movements of superstructures are completely restrained at the locations of bearings(shoes) on a cap beam of the pier, The resulting vertical reactions are applied to the bearing for the calculation of bending moments and shear forces in the cap beam. However, in reality, the overhang parts of the cap beam will deform under the dead load of superstructures and the live load so that it may act as an elastic foundation. Due to the settlement of the elastic foundation, the actual distribution of the reactions at the bearings along the cap beam may be different from that obtained under the assumption that the vertical movements are fixed at the bearings. In the present study, investigated is the effects of elastic deformations of the T-type pier on the distribution of reactions at the bearings along the cap beam through 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Herein, for this purpose the whole structural system including the superstructure and piers as well is analyzed. It appears that the conventional practice which neglects the elastic deformations of the cap beam exhibits considerably different distributions of the reactions as compared with those obtained from the present finite element analysis. It is, therefore, recommended that in order to assess the reactions at bearings correctly the whole structural system be analyzed using 3-dimensional finite element analysis.

흙노반으로 이루어진 철도 구간의 경우 반복적인 하중재하에 따라 탄성상태로 복귀하는 회복변형과 영구 변형이 동시에 발생한다. 따라서 열차하중이 반복적으로 작용하는 철도하부 지반에서의 변형예측을 위하여 반복하중에 대한 장기변형 예측이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최적함수비 범위에서의 최적함수비의 일반토사를 대상으로 진동삼축압축시험과 원형토조시험을 통해 반복하중에 따른 변형 특성을 비교하였으며, 파워함수 모델을 이용하여 각 재료별 축차응력과 반복횟수를 고려한예측모델식을 제안하였다.

연직드레인의 유효반경내에서 시간과 압밀도 관계를 계산하기 위해 음적차분해법이 적용되었으며 계산시 과잉간극수압의 소산은 두 방향으로 수행된다. 다단계 성토에 의한 지중응력 증분을 계산하기 위해, 지표면하의 연약지반은 등방균질 탄성체로서 간주하였고 각 단계 순간성토시 초기 과잉간극수압은 포화된 점성토내에서 평면변형률 조건과 탄성단계의 간극수압 응답 상태에 대한 Skempton의 간극수압계수를 이용해 계산하였다. 침하에 대해서는, 즉시 및 1 차 압밀침하량만 계산하였고, 2차 압밀침하는 고려하지 않았다. 계산된 과잉간극수압과 지표침하량이 경과시간에 대한 현성측성치와 유사한 것으로 판정되었으며, 본 연구에 적용된 계산기법(압밀특성이 다른 다층지반으로 구성된 연약지반내에 연직배수공법을 적용하고 성토가 다단계 순간성토로 이루어질 경우 과잉간극수압 소산과정을 음적 차분해법으로 근사계산)은 각 연약층의 시간-압밀도 관계를 예측하는데 이용가능할 것으로 생각된다.
