Reasonable estimates of tunnel lining dislocations in the operation stage, especially under longitudinal differential settlement, are important for the design of waterproof gaskets. In this paper, a modified shell-joint model is proposed to calculate shield tunnel dislocations under longitudinal differential settlement, with the ability to consider the nonlinear shear stiffness of the joint. In the case of shell elements in the model, an elastoplastic damage constitutive model was adopted to describe the nonlinear stress-strain relationship of concrete. After verifying its applicability and correctness against a full-scale tunnel test and a joint shear test, the proposed model was used to analyze the dislocation behaviors of a shield tunnel in Shanghai Metro Line 2 under longitudinal differential settlement. Based on the results, when the tunnel structure is solely subjected to water-earth load, circumferential and longitudinal joint dislocations are all less than 0.1 mm. When the tunnel suffers longitudinal differential settlement and the curvature radius of the differential settlement is less than 300 m, although maximum longitudinal joint dislocation is still less than 0.1 mm, the maximum circumferential joint dislocation is approximately 10.3 mm, which leads to leakage and damage of the tunnel structure. However, with concavo-convex tenons applied to circumferential joints, the maximum dislocation value reduces to 4.5 mm.

A difference in subgrade settlement between two rails of a track manifests as lateral differential subgrade settlement. This settlement causes unsteadiness in the motion of trains passing through the corresponding area. To illustrate the effect of lateral differential subgrade settlement on the dynamic response of a vehicle-track coupling system, a three-dimensional vehicle-track-subgrade coupling model was formulated by combining the vehicle-track dynamics theory and the finite element method. The wheel/rail force, car body acceleration, and derailment factor are chosen as evaluation indices of the system dynamic response. The effects of the amplitude and wavelength of lateral differential subgrade settlement as well as the driving speed of the vehicle are analyzed. The study reveals the following: The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system generally increase linearly with the driving speed when the train passes through a lateral subgrade settlement area. The wheel/rail force acting on a rail with a large settlement exceeds that on a rail with a small settlement. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system increase with the amplitude of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. For a 250-km/h train speed, the proposed maximum amplitude for a lateral differential settlement with a wavelength of 20 m is 10 mm. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system decrease with an increase in the wavelength of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. To achieve a good operation quality of a train at a 250-km/h driving speed, the wavelength of a lateral differential subgrade settlement with an amplitude of 20 mm should not be less than 15 m. Monitoring lateral differential settlements should be given more emphasis in routine high-speed railway maintenance and repairs.

본 논문에서는 기초지반의 부등침하를 해석하기 위하여 추계론적 수치해석 방법을 사용하였다. 부등침하는 토질탄성계수의 공간적 변화와 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있다. Kriging 이론은 탄성계수의 공간적 변화를 설명하기 위하여 사용되었다. 이 방법은 선형최적불편추정기법으로 제한된 자료로 부터 최소의 분산을 가진 추정값을 구할 수 있다. 추계론적 유한요소법을 이용하여 일차근사 2차모멘트 기법으로 변위의 평균값과 분산값 그리고 공분산값을 구한다. 최종적으로 부등침하의 신뢰도모델이 제시되었다. 해석결과 두 기초사이의 거리와 탄성계수의 수평방향 변동거리가 거의 같을 때 최대부 등침하량이 일어난다는 것과 이 때 부등침하량이 허용간을 넋을 확률이 상당히 크다는 것이 밝혀 졌다.

본 연구는 폐기물 매립지에서 폐기물의 분해 등으로 인해 부등침하가 발생할 경우 SRSL(Self Recovering Sustainable Liner)를 활용한 매립지 최종복토층의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 확인해보는 것을 목적으로 한다. FLAC(Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua) 2D 프로그램을 이용하여 폐기물 분해 양상을 빈칸(blank)으로 설정한 후 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 기본 물성치시험 및 문헌조사 등을 통해 각 층에 대한 구성성분의 변수를 산정하였다. 이전 현장투수시험 등을 통해 얻어진 파괴 시 안전균열폭(6mm)을 바탕으로 부등침하 발생 시 부등침하의 폭, 깊이, 개수별 매립지 최종복토층의 침하량을 산정하여 부등침하에 대한 구조적 안정성을 검토하였다. 해석결과, 깊이에 따른 영향은 없으며, 침하갯수가 증가할수록 오히려 매립지 최종복토층에 인장력을 발휘하여 안정성 확보를 유리하게 하며, 부등침하의 폭이 전체길이에 24.5% 이내일 경우 안정성에는 문제가 없는 것을 확인하였다.

The importance of considering soil-structure interaction effect in the analysis and design of RC frame buildings is increasingly recognized but still not penetrated to the grass root level owing to various complexities involved. It is well established fact that the soil-structure interaction effect considerably influence the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral seismic loads. The shear walls are often provided in such buildings to increase the lateral stability to resist seismic lateral loads. In the present work, the linear soil-structure analysis of a G+5 storey RC shear wall building frame resting on isolated column footings and supported by deformable soil is presented. The finite element modelling and analysis is carried out using ANSYS software under normal loads as well as under seismic loads. Various load combinations are considered as per IS-1893 (Part-1):2002. The interaction analysis is carried out with and without shear wall to investigate the effect of inclusion of shear wall on the total and differential settlements in the footings due to deformations in the soil mass. The frame and soil mass both are considered to behave in linear elastic manner. It is observed that the soil-structure interaction effect causes significant total and differential settlements in the footings. Maximum total settlement in footings occurs under vertical loads and inner footings settle more than outer footings creating a saucer shaped settlement profile of the footings. Each combination of seismic loads causes maximum differential settlement in one or more footings. Presence of shear wall decreases pulling/pushing effect of seismic forces on footings resulting in more stability to the structures.

Settlements of maximum 23cm have occurred in and Apartment building consturcted on a fill layer with pile foundations. The main reason of the settlements was due to the negative skin friction applied to the pile, and settlement of adjacent ground since most pile tips are acted as a floating foundation founded on the stratum where the SPT N value was mostly less than 30. To underpin this building, the Jumbo Special Pile grouging was adopted, and instrumented data showed little differential settlement after the JSP underpinning.

Recently, the high speed railway comes into the spotlight as the important and convenient traffic infrastructure. In Korea, Kyung-Bu high speed train service began in about 400km section at 2004, and the Ho-Nam high speed railway will be constructed by 2017. The high speed train will run with a design maximum speed of 300-350km/hr. Since the trains are operated at high speed, the differential settlement of subgrade under the rail is able to cause a fatal disaster. Therefore, the differential settlement of the embankment must be controlled with the greatest care. Furthermore, the characteristics and causes of settlements which occurred under construction and post-construction should be investigated. A considerable number of studies have been conducted on the settlement of the natural ground over the past several decades. But little attention has been given to the compression settlement of the embankment. The long-term settlement of compacted fills embankments is greatly influenced by the post-construction wetting. This is called 'hydro collapse' or 'wetting collapse'. This wetting collapse problem for the compressibility of compacted sands, gravels and rockfills, has been recognized by several researchers. For this wetting settlement problem, we showed the test results carried out with 4 fill materials. These tests were performed under the condition that the fill materials were inundated at the first wetting. Subsequently, in this study, we investigated the long-term settlement characteristics of the fill materials under the repeated partial wetting and rising of the ground water table happend by rainfall.
