In this study, the mechanical behavior of very soft ground that is reinforced on the surface has been investigated with the aid of a series of numerical analyses. Key material properties of each dredged soft ground, reinforcement and backfill sand mat have been parametrically estimated in the numerical analysis. Along with the result of the study previously performed, a series of in-situ loading conditions and settlement exerted by surface reinforcing operation by construction vehicles has been numerically simulated. These result have been used to evaluate the limit bearing capacity for the unreinforced and reinforced soft ground. Also, the results of the numerical analysis obtained in this research were compared with Yamanouchi's empirical correlation for the limit bearing capacity. Engineering charts listed in this paper for estimating the limit bearing capacity provide field engineers with preliminary design tool for surface reinforcement of very soft ground.

Earthborne vibrations are induced by construction operation such as pile driving, roadbed compaction, and blasting and also by transit activities such as truck and trains. The earthborne vibration creates the stress waves traveling outward from the source and can structurally damage nearby buildings and structures in the forms of direct damage to structure and damage due to dynamic settlement. The wave propagation characteristics depends on impact or vibration energy, distance from the source, and soil characteristics. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review on the mechanistic of earthborne vibration and the current practice of vibration control and mitigation measures. The paper describes the state of knowledge in the areas of: (1) mechanics of earthborne vibration, (2) damage mechanism by earthborne vibration, (3) calculation, prediction of ground vibration, (4) the criteria of vibration limits, (5) vibration mitigation measures and their performance, and (6) the current practice of vibration control and mitigation measures.

Running safety and ride comfort of high speed railway largely depend on the track geometry that is dependent on the bridge deformation. This study presents a theoretical study on mapping the bridge vertical deformations to the change of track geometry. Analytical formulae are derived through the theoretical analysis to quantify the track geometry change, and validated against the finite element analysis and experimental data. Based on the theoretical formulae, parametric studies are conducted to evaluate the effects of key parameters on the track geometry of a high speed railway. The results show that the derived formulae provide reasonable prediction of the track geometry change under various bridge vertical deformations. The rail deflection increases with the magnitude of bridge pier settlement and vertical girder fault. Increasing the stiffness of the fasteners or mortar layer tends to cause a steep rail deformation curve, which is undesired for the running safety and ride comfort of high-speed railway.

The creep and consolidation behaviors of clays subjected to thermal cycles are of fundamental importance in the application of energy geostructures. This study aims to numerically investigate the physical mechanisms for the temperature-triggered volume change of saturated clays. A recently developed thermodynamic framework is used to derive the thermo-mechanical constitutive model for clays. Based on the model, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element (FE) code is developed. Comparison with experimental observations shows that the proposed FE code can well reproduce the irreversible thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays, as well as the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays under drained heating. Simulations reveal that excess pore pressure may accumulate in clay samples under triaxial drained conditions due to low permeability and high heating rate, resulting in thermally induced primary consolidation. Results show that four major mechanisms contribute to the thermal volume change of clays: (i) the principle of thermal expansion, (ii) the decrease of effective stress due to the accumulation of excess pore pressure, (iii) the thermal creep, and (iv) the thermally induced primary consolidation. The former two mechanisms mainly contribute to the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays, whereas the latter two contribute to the noticeable thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays. Consideration of the four physical mechanisms is important for the settlement prediction of energy geostructures, especially in soft soils.

Due to the importance of accurate analysis of bearing capacity in civil engineering projects, this paper studies the efficiency of two novel metaheuristic-based models for this objective. To this end, black hole algorithm (BHA) and multi-verse optimizer (MVO) are synthesized with an artificial neural network (ANN) to build the proposed hybrid models. Based on the settlement of a two-layered soil (and a shallow footing) system, the stability values (SV) of 0 and 1 (indicating the stability and failure, respectively) are set as the targets. Each model predicted the SV for 901 stages. The results indicated that the BHA and MVO can increase the accuracy (i.e., the area under the receiving operating characteristic curve) of the ANN from 94.0% to 96.3 and 97.2% in analyzing the SV pattern. Moreover, the prediction accuracy rose from 93.1% to 94.4 and 95.0%. Also, a comparison between the ANN's error decreased by the BHA and MVO (7.92% vs. 18.08% in the training phase and 6.28% vs. 13.62% in the testing phase) showed that the MVO is a more efficient optimizer. Hence, the suggested MVO-ANN can be used as a reliable approach for the practical estimation of bearing capacity.

최근까지 국내에서는 팽이기초에 관한 연구가 미흡하였고, 지반조건에 맞는 설계기준이 마련되어 있지 못하여 일본의 설계기준을 그대로 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인해 기존 팽이기초의 지지력식은 과소하게 예측되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제크기의 1/5 스케일로 축소한 모형실험을 수행하였으며, 국내에서 이루어 진 100여개 현장의 재하실험 결과를 근거로 강도특성(N값), 지하수영향, 팽이기초의 파괴형상을 고려하여 보다 합리적으로 팽이기초의 지지력을 예측할 수 있는 식을 제안하였다.

The objective of this study is to develop a Stability Evaluation System for retaining walls to assess their safety in real-time during excavation. A ground investigation is typically conducted before construction to gather information about the soil properties and predict wall stability. However, these properties may not accurately reflect the actual ground being excavated. To address this issue, the study employed a differential evolution algorithm to estimate the soil parameters of the actual ground. The estimated results were then used as input for an artificial neural network to evaluate the stability of the retaining walls. The study achieved an average accuracy of over 90% in predicting differential settlement, wall displacement, anchor force, and structural stability of the retaining walls. If implemented at actual excavation sites, this approach would enable real-time prediction of wall stability and facilitate effective safety management. Overall, the developed Stability Evaluation System offers a promising solution for ensuring the stability of retaining walls during construction. By incorporating real-time soil parameter analysis, it enhances the accuracy of stability predictions and contributes to proactive safety management in excavation projects.

본 연구는 현재 시공중인 사업부지를 선정하여 시험시공중에 있는 연약지반에서 페이퍼 드레인 공법에 의하여 처리한 지반에서 드레인의 타입간격별 침하거동을 파악하고, 실내시험과 현장계측치로부터 구한 압축지수와 압밀계수를 비교분석하여 배수성능의 우수성을 평가한 것으로 그결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 실측침하량($S_m$)과 설계침하량($S_t$)의 관계 및 실측압밀도($U_m$)와 설계압밀도($U_t$)와의 관계는 드레인 타입간격 1.0m에서는 $S_m=(1.0{\sim}1.1)S_t$, $U_m=(1.13{\sim}1.17)U_t$로 나타났고, 드레인 타입간격 1.5m에서는 $S_m=(0.7{\sim}0.8)S_t$, $U_m=0.92{\sim}0.99)U_t$의 범위로 나타났다. 2. 현장압축지수($Cc_{Field}$)와 처녀압축지수($V_{CC_{lab.}}$)와의 관계는 $Cc_{Field}=(1.0{\sim}1.2)V_{CC_{lab.}}$로 나타났으나, 처녀압축지수의 결정밥법과 최종예상 침하량의 적용방법에 따른 오차를 감안하면 거의 동일한 것으로 판단된다. 3. 계측치로부터 역산한 현장압밀계수는 실내시험에서 구한 압밀계수보다 크게 나타났고, 압밀계수비($C_h/C_v$)는 드레인 타입간격 1.0m에서는 $C_h=(2.4{\sim}3.0)C_v$, 드레인 타입간격 1.5m에서는 $C_h=(3.5{\sim}4.3)C_v$의 범위로 타입간격이 넓을수록 크게 나타났다. 4 드레인 타입간격에 따른 드레인 자재별 배수성능 평가기준을 압밀계수비의 결과를 기초로 판단하여 보면, 드레인 타입간격 1.0m에서는 Mebra 드레인, 드레인 타입간격 1.5m에서는 Amer드레인이 약간 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 동일한 타입간격에서는 재질간의 큰차이가 발생되지 않아 모두 동일한 배수성능을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.
