Compaction is a process of increasing soil density using physical energy. It is intended to improve the strength and stiffness of soil. In embankment, degree of compaction affects the construction time, money, also method of soil improvement. In large scale embankment project, difficulties of embankment should change due to uncertainty of settlement. So it is very important to predict the final settlement and factor of safety induced by embankment. In many construction site, there are primarily design of high embankment using in-situ soil. Therefore numerical analyses are necessary for valid evaluation of the settlement prediction. But due to the construction cost and schedule, there were lacking in properties of soil and also limited number of in-situ test were performed. So we proposed the method that can easily estimate the proper soil parameters and suggest the proper method of numerical analysis. From this, two-dimensional finite-difference numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the settlement and factor of safety induced by embankment with various case of compaction rate and embankment height.

Geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls can be employed as railway embankments to carry large static and dynamic train loads, but very few studies can be found in the literature that investigate their dynamic behavior under simulated wheel loading. A large-scale dynamic test on a reinforced soil railway embankment was therefore carried out. The model embankment was 1.65 meter high and designed to have a soilbag facing. It was reinforced with HDPE geogrid layers at a vertical spacing of 0.3 m and a length of 2 m. The dynamic test consisted of 1.2 million cycles of harmonic dynamic loading with three different load levels and four different exciting frequencies. Before the dynamic loading test, a static test was also carried out to understand the general behavior of the embankment behavior. The study indicated the importance of loading frequency on the dynamic response of reinforced soil railway embankment. It also showed that toe resistance played a significant role in the dynamic behavior of the embankment. Some limitations of the test were also discussed.

In order to analysis the reason of sliding failure in embankment slope under construction in soft soil area, a model section located in Gimhae Region in Gyeongsangnam-Do, where the sliding failure had been occurred during embankment works in soft soil area, had been selected. This area had been firstly treated with the Pack Drain Method, and additional embankment works of 9.7 meters out of total 14 meters in thickness had been under construction. The results of analysis showed that the reason of sliding failure were overspeed in embankment construction and the overestimation of design factors in calculating strength of each layer of embankment and poor management and inaccuracy reading of measurement devices.

The present work investigates the behavior of the embankment models resting on soft soil reinforced with ordinary and stone columns encased with geogrid. Model tests were performed with different spacing distances between stone columns and two lengths to diameter ratios (L/d) of the stone columns, in addition to different embankment heights. A total number of 42 model tests were carried out on a soil with undrianed shear strength $${\sim_\sim}10kPa$$. The models consist of stone columns embankment at s/d equal to 2.5, 3 and 4 with L/d ratio equal 5 and 8. Three embankment heights; 200 mm, 250 mm and 300 mm were tested for both tests of ordinary (OSC) and geogrid encased stone columns (ESC). Three earth pressure cells were used to measure directly the vertical effective stress on column at the top of the middle stone column under the center line of embankment and on the edge stone column for all models while the third cell was placed at the base of embankment between two columns to measure the vertical effective stress in soft soil directly. The performance of stone columns embankments relies upon the ability of the granular embankment material to arch over the 'gaps' between the stone columns spacing. The results showed that the ratio of the embankment height to the clear spacing between columns (h/s-d) is a key parameter. It is found that (h/s-d)<1.2 and 1.4 for OSC and ESC, respectively; (h is the embankment height, s is the spacing between columns and d is the diameter of stone columns), no effect of arching is pronounced, the settlement at the surface of the embankment is very large, and the stress acting on the subsoil is virtually unmodified from the nominal overburden stress. When $(h/s-d){\geq}2.2$ for OSC and ESC respectively, full arching will occur and minimum stress on subsoil between stone columns will act, so the range of critical embankment height will be 1.2 (h/sd) to 2.2 (h/s-d) for both OSC and ESC models.

연약지반속에 말뚝을 설치하고 성토를 실시할 경우 말뚝에 작용하는 연직하중을 산정할 수 있는 이론적 해석법을 개발하였다. 여기서 말뚝은 성토하중지지 효과를 증대시키기 위하여 일정간격의 줄말뚝 형태로 설치하며 각 줄말뚝의 두부는 지중보 형태의 말뚝캡보로 연결시킨 경우를 대상으로 한다. 이론식의 유도과정에서 성토지지말뚝으로 지지된 성토지반의 파괴발생 기구를 말뚝위 성토지반속의 파괴형태에 따라 지반아칭파괴와 펀칭전단파괴의 두 가지로 크게 구분하였다. 여기서 지반아칭은 말뚝캡보 사이의 간격이 좁거나 성토고가 충분히 높을 때 발생된다. 지반아칭파괴는 아치의 파괴부위에 따라 정상파괴와 캡파괴로 나누어 각 파괴형태의 안전성이 검토되었다. 또한, 제안식에 의한 성토지지말뚝의 하중분담효과는 말뚝캡보의 간격과 폭의 크기 및 지반정수에 크게 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있다. 즉, 말뚝캡보의 간격이 증가하면 말뚝의 하중분담효과는 감소하며 성토고, 말뚝캡보폭, 내부마찰각 및 점착력의 크기가 증가할수록 하중분담효과가 커지게 된다. 따라서 이러한 말뚝 및 지반에 관한 영향요소를 적절히 결정하면 성토지지말뚝의 성토하중분담 효과를 효과적으로 극대화시킬 수 있을 것이다.

성토지지말뚝 상부의 성토지반내에서 발생되는 지반아칭효과에 의하여 성토하중이 말뚝에 전달되는 효과를 조사하면서 제안된 이론해석의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다. 본 모형실험에서 말뚝은 성토 아래에 일렬로 수열의 줄말뚝으로 설치하였으며, 말뚝캡보는 성토의 길이방향에 직각방향으로 말뚝두부에 설치하였다. 성토재의 하중전달에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 말뚝캡보사이의 간격과 성토고를 들 수 있다. 이전의 이론적인 연구에 의해 제안된 지반아치의 반경보다 약 33%정도 큰 최소소요성토고보다 높게 성토를 실시할 경우 지반아치는 완벽하게 발생될 뿐만 아니라, 실험치와 이론치는 잘 일치함을 모형실험결과 확인할 수 있다. 모형말뚝캡보에 작용하는 성토하중의 분담률은 말뚝캡보사이의 간격이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 반면, 성토고가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였다. 따라서, 설계시 말뚝의 성토하중지지효과를 극대화시키기 위해서는 성토고를 충분히 높게한 상태에서 말뚝캡보의 간격비를 감소시켜야 한다. 여기서 말뚝캡보의 간격비를 감소시키려면 말뚝캡보사이의 간격을 감소시키거나 말뚝캡보의 폭을 증가시켜야 한다.

Model studies on the response of homgeneous earth embankment dams subjected to strike-slip fault movement have been penomed via centrifuge and finite element analysis. The centrifuge model tests have shown that crack development in earth embankment experiences two major patters: shear failure deep inside the embankment and tension failure near the surface. The shear rupture zone develops from the base level and propagates upward continuously in the transverse direction but allows no open leakage chnnel. The open tensile cracks develop near the surface of the embankment, but they disappear deep in the embankment. The functional relationship has been developed based on the results of the centrifuge model tests incorporating tile variables of amount of fault movement, embankment geometry, and crack propagation extent in earth des. This set of information can be used as a guide line to evaluate a "transient" safety of the duaged embankment subjected to strike-slip fault movement. The finite element analysis has supplemented the additional expluations on crack development behavior identified from the results of the centrifuge model tests. The bounding surface time-independent plasticity soil model was employed in the numerical analysis. Due to the assumption of continuum in the current version of the 3-D FEM code, the prediction of the soil structure response beyond the failure condition was not quantitatively accurate. However, the fundamental mechanism of crack development was qualitatively evaluated based on the stress analysis for the deformed soil elements of the damaged earth embankment. The tensile failure zone is identified when the minor principal stress of the deformed soil elements less than zero. The shear failure zone is identified when the stress state of the deformed soil elements is at the point where the critical state line intersects the bounding surface.g surface.

연약지반상에 제방 성토시 예상되는 연약지반의 측방유동을 적극 억지할 수 있는 성토지지말뚝공법은 말뚝두부에 캡을 설치하는 형태에 따라 크게 말뚝슬래브공법, 캡보말뚝공법 및 단독캡말뚝공법으로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 공법중 캡보말뚝공법 및 단독캡말뚝공법에서는 성토지지말뚝과 지반간의 상대적인 강성차이로 인해 성토지반 속에 지반아치가 발생하게 되고, 대부분의 성토하중은 발달된 지반아치를 통해 말뚝으로 전달된다. 두 공법에서 발생되는 지반아치의 차이는 그 형태가 캡보말뚝공법의 경우 터널의 형태와 유사하게 2차원적이고, 단독캡말뚝공법에서는 돔의 형태와 유사하게 3차원적이라는 것이다. 따라서 이 두 경우의 지반아치로 인한 성토지지말뚝의 하중분담효과에 관한 이론식을 각각 유도 제안하여 비교하였으며, 두 이론식의 타당성을 입증하기 위한 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다.

This paper presents an experimental investigation about visualization of bulging development of geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) based on the digital image correlation (DIC) technique and transparent soil. Visual model tests on GESC and ordinary stone column (OSC) were carried out. In order to delete the warping effect resulting from transparent soil and experiment setup, a modification for experiment results was performed. The bulging development process of the GESC and the displacement field of the surrounding soil were measured. By comparing with the existing experimental and theoretical results, it demonstrates that the model test system developed for studying the continuous bulging development of GESC is suitable. The current test results show that the bulging depth of GESC ranges from 1.05 to 1.40 times the diameter of GESC. The influence depth of GESC bulging on surrounding soil displacement is 0~3 the times diameter of GESC.
