The Pusan clays are soft and thick deposits and in some places, they reach even up to 50-70m. So, the pile foundations are inevitable in almost all cases. But they are significantly expansive when the length of the pile reaches about 70m. In this study, a comprehensive parametric study has been carried out in order to reduce the pile length and number of piles required in turn the cost of the foundation for particular building. A belled shaft pile has been optimized for a typical soil profile using the PLAXIS (FEM code). These results have shown a new direction of the pile foundation in Pusan, Korea. The results including the variation of contact pressures at the bottom of the bell, optimization of the angle of the bell and height of the bell in terms of the diameter of the shaft. And also, the design curves have been generated so that they can be directly used for design of belled shaft foundations. However, the structural strength criterion is being checked in the concerned laboratory.

In this paper, a method is presented for estimating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM). By applying Winkler-springs for accounting for the compatibility between soil blocks, the proposed method can estimate the state of stress at failure surface and the ultimate bearing capacity. For the investigation of the application of the method, example problems about shallow foundations on the single layer and two layers soil are analyzed.

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.

스마트홈과 연동하는 안전한 방범창은 외부의 침입자를 차단하고 주거 내의 물품 도난 및 개인의 신변을 보호하기 위한 안전설비로 다양한 형태의 방범창이 존재한다. 스마트홈은 건물 내의 센서가 화재를 감지하면 방범창 내부의 원격시스템이 자동으로 방범창을 매우 짧은 시간 안에 개방할 수 있도록 설계한다. 화재 등 재난시 상하부 방법창이 자동으로 개폐되도록 랙피니언을 이용하여 방범창의 위쪽 창틀을 상승시켜 창살이 움직일 수 있도록 개방하고 동시에 아래쪽 창틀이 회전하도록 구성하여 화재 및 폭우 등에 인명피해를 줄일 수 있도록 설계한다. 스마트홈 시스템과의 연계로 재난을 미리 감지하고 탈출구를 개방한다면 신속하고 안전한 대피가 가능하고, 기존의 프레임 부분 변경에 간단한 시스템만 변경하여 적용할 수 있어, 간단한 구조로 설치할 수 있고 낮은 비용으로 스마트홈을 구성할 수 있다. 특히 스마트홈과 연동하여 재난을 미리 감지하고 탈출구를 개방함으로써 신속하고 안전한 대피가 가능하여 다양한 재난을 대비할 수 있다.
