The acceleration of consolidation by stone columns was mostly analysed within the framework of a basic unit cell model (i.e. a cylindrical soil body around a column). A method of converting the axisymmetric unit cell into the equivalent plane-strain model would be required for two-dimensional numerical modelling of multi-column field applications. This paper proposes two practical simplified conversion methods to obtain the equivalent plane-strain model of the unit cell, and investigates their applicability to multi-column reinforced ground. In the first conversion method, the soil permeability is matched according to an analytical equation, whereas in the second method, the column width is matched based on the equivalence of column area. The validity of these methods is tested by comparison with the numerical results of unit-cell simulations and with the field data from an embankment case history. The results show that for the case of linear-elastic material modelling, both methods produce reasonably accurate long-term consolidation settlements, whereas for the case of elasto-plastic material modelling, the second method is preferable as the first one gives erroneously lower long-term settlements, where plastic yielding of stone column are ignored.

This study systematically examines the changes in the compressive and tensile strength of soil cement reinforced by natural hair fiber, which is regularly produced from human. Extensive experimental tests of various test specimens have been carried out in a laboratory. Several factors are considered, including the soil type, amount of cement, amount of fiber, fiber length, loading type, and curing age. The test results indicate that both the compressive and tensile strengths are significantly affected by the fiber, either increasing or decreasing depending on the conditions. The increase in tensile strength is significant in the sand-based soil cement due to the tensile resistance of the fiber which is interlocked with the surrounding soil or cement particles. The natural fiber provides a larger strain to failure due to its extensibility, which allows greater deformation. Based on the test results, natural hair fibers can be an effective and environmentally friendly way to improve soil ground subjected to tensile loading, such as an embankment slope, road subgrade, or landfill, thus reducing the cost for cement and waste treatment. The study results provide a useful information of better understanding the mechanical behavior of natural hair fiber in soil cement and the practical use of waste materials in civil engineering. The findings can be practically applied for improving earth structures under tensile loading.

지반의 지지력을 증가시키는 보강토공법은 일반적으로 산악지대에서 시행되는 건설공사에 쓰여지는데, 보강토 옹벽의 높이가 일반 평지의 성토구조물보다 상당히 높아지며, 성토도로의 시공이나 고속철도 등과 같은 높은 상재하중을 지지하여야 할 경우에는 지반강성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 공법의 적용이 요구된다. 또한, 절토공사 현장의 환경문제 및 대지경계 등의 이유로 원지반의 절취량을 최소화 할 수 있는 공법이 지속적으로 요구되고 있으며, 이를 만족하기 위한 많은 공법들이 개발되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 일반적인 보강토 옹벽의 경우 옹벽 높이의 $60{\sim}80%$정도에 해당되는 보강재 길이가 요구되어 절토현장에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 또한, 근래에 들어 용지경계 확보와 성토구조물의 안정성 확보 등 제한적인 범위에서 적용되던 보강토 옹벽공법이 추가 보강재를 병행, 사용함으로써 절토공사 현장에도 점차 적용되는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 보강토 옹벽의 보강재 길이를 줄이는 대선에 쏘일네일링 공법과 같은 사면보강공과 연결하여 충분한 저항력을 확보할 수 있도록 쏘일네일과 강재스트립으로 보강된 복합보 강토옹벽 시스템의 설계 및 시공사례를 소개하고 실제 현장에서 측정된 계측자료를 통해 복합보강토옹벽 시스템의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다.

Geosynthetics are commonly used for filtering, layer separations, drainages, cutoffs, and reinforcements. In highway constructions, geotextile mats have been used for the purposes of vehicle trafficability, separations and embankment reinforcements. Geosynthetics are utilized as prefabricated vertical drains and also used as horizontal drainage layers substituted for the sand mat. Geogrids, essential element of reinforced retaining walls, are sometimes spread under the highway pavement. Besides various usage mentioned above, many type of them are also used as drainage of backfill in culverts and bridge abutments. In this paper, problems of specifications and regulations concerning mostly used geotextiles are specifically dealt with from the practical aspects of field engineering and efforts are given upon improvement of them. Especially, relevant sections of "Standard Specifications for the Highway Construction by Korea Highway Corporation"are being revised and these are introduced in detail.

It is most important to support the track as well as to be directly connected to run safety. The performance design satisfied with the more safe and economic embankment study is required due to the high speed, design load and growth of traffic. Therefore, in this paper the relation between main design elements to adopt the method of the performance design were analysed. And the correlation among design indices developed and used in an advanced countries such as germany, japan were evaluated.

Damage to earth structures for roads, railways and residential areas, as well as dams and river levees, during the 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu earthquake in Japan, and their rehabilitation works are overviewed. Several influential factors are pointed out, such as a) heavy rainfall preceding the earthquake, b) large aftershocks, c) geological conditions for subsoil including existence of liquefiable layers, d) compaction degrees for embankment, and e) drainage capacity from subsoil/embankments. It is also reported that, in the reconstruction works of damaged roads and railways, preferred use of geogrid-reinforced soil retaining walls was implemented.

The purpose of this study is to estimate a landslide using the SLOPILE program from the slope reinforced by slope stability systems such as soil nailing and pile. To do this, cutting slope located at Donghae-Highway in Kwangwon-Do was considered. The behavior of slope was monitored for a long term by using instrumentation according to the reinforcement stages. The sequence of reinforcement stages was followed as pile installation, boring, soil nailing installation, anchoring and embankment. The result from this case study shows that the safety factor of slope depends on the reinforcement stage more or less.

This paper presents the design, construction and performance of ground treatment to support road embankment on refuse landfill. Long-term settlement of refuse landfill is analysised by Sower and Yen/scanlon. As a results of site test, predicting settlement excess the allowable settlement and ultimate bearing capacity is not satisfied. The effectiveness of DDR(Deep Dynamic Replacement) is monitered by field tests (SPT, PBT, PMT) before, during and after construction of the stone columns. The ultimate bearing capacity for reinforced landfill by stone columns obtained from the in-situ test results has been compared with the existing theories. In municipal wastes landfill, settlement after treatment using stone column is satisfied to allowable residual settlement. Therefore, long-term stability can be gain in these cases.

A series of consolidated undrained triaxial compression testes were performed to increase field applications of soil admixtures mixed with short fiber. Kaolin clay and three types of fiber were selected and auto cutter was used to obtain reliable length of fibers. Remolded soil specimens were tested for obtaining the basic data to be applied to the reinforcement of soft clay, embankment or barrier and clay liner of wastes landfill etc. Conversion equations from weight to volume of clay mixed with short fiber are introduced and relationships between fiber content and fiber concentration are derived. It is found that reinforcing effect by aspect ratio and mixing ratio of short fiber decreases as confining pressure increases. The best efficient reinforcing effect is given at the aspect ratio of 80~120 and the fiber content of 1.2%~2.4% and the fiber diameter of 0.27mm.

Owing to a landslide or embankment damage be caused by a localized torrential downpour and heavy snowfall resulted from recent abnormal climate, a slope stability is very important. This study is investigate a general slope reinforcement method and applicability improvement of soil nailing method utilized prototype loading test for the facing stiffness effect confirmation. A prototype loading test supplements general slope stability study by numerical analysis or laboratory test with a resonable analysis of slope structure.
