Several soil improvement methods are applied to stabilize soft ground. But their improvement effects are known to be reduced in view of strength under poor conditions such as marine clay. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the strength increase effects of super injection grouting on the marine clay, A series of laboratory tests and chemical analysis tests has been peformed. Through this study, the causes of strength inferiority of treated soil was analyzed and soil improvement effects of grouted soil was presented.

현재, 포장시스템의 노상과 보조기층의 다짐관리는 들밀도 시험을 이용한 상대 다짐도와 평판재하시험이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 하지만, 이 두 시험법은 노상과 보조기층의 다짐관리를 평가하기엔 시간과 비용이 많이 소요되며 실측 값을 얻기에도 매우 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노상과 보조기층 시공 현장에서 다짐관리를 보다 빠르고, 적은 비용으로 측정 할 수 있는 소형충격재하시험들의 비교분석을 실시한 후, LFWD시험을 다짐평가장비로 제안하였다. 또한, 노상과 보조기층의 실내시험 및 현장 시험을 통하여 국내 도로 하부구조 재료 특성에 따른 $E_{LFWD}$와 상대 다짐도, $K_{30}$, 설계 $M_{R}$ 값과의 상관관계를 제안하였다.

This paper presents the results of plate load test and dynamic load test performed to evaluate the performance of geocell where it is used to reinforce soft subgrade for high-speed railroad. Efficacy of geocell was observed in increase in bearing capacity of subgrade and reduction of thickness of reinforced sub-ballast. Plate load tests were carried out at four different places with varying foundation soil strength as a function of number of geocell layer, type of filler material, thickness of cover soil, and the presence of non-woven geotextile. Dynamic load tests were performed in a laboratory. The test soil chamber consists of, from the bottom, 50 cm thick clayey soil, one layer of geocell filled with crushed stone, 10 cm thick crushed stone cover, reinforced sub-ballast of varying thickness, 35 cm thick ballast. This configuration was determined based on the results of numerical analysis and plate load tests. For each set of the dynamic load tests, loads were applied more than 80,000 times. One layer of geocell underlying a 10 cm thick cover soil led to an increase in bearing capacity three to four times compared to a crushed stone layer of the same thickness substituted for the geocell and cover soil layer. Given the test conditions, the thickness of reinforced sub-ballast can be reduced by approximately 35 cm with the presence of geocell.

Steel casing used to keep a borehole wall in the construction of drilled shaft increases the vertical and lateral stiffness and strength of pile, but it is usually pulled out or ignored due to the absence of standard or the problem of erosion of steel casing. In order to make use of steel casing as a permanent structure, this study carried out an experimental work for the steel-concrete composite pile. Four types of piles were used to estimate the lateral behavior of piles, which are reinforced concrete pile, steel pile and steel-concrete composite pile with and without reinforcing bar. The subgrade-reaction spring system was developed to simulate the lateral stiffness of soil in laboratory. Also, the composite loading system which can apply the axial and lateral load simultaneously was employed.

Low liquid limit silt, widely distributed in the middle and down reaches of Yellow River, has the disadvantages of poor grading, less clay content and poor colloidal activity. It is very easy to cause vehicle jumping at the bridge-embankment transition section when the low liquid limit silt used as the backfill at the abutment back. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to study the physical and mechanical properties of the low liquid limit silt used as back filling. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) was excited by active MgO and hydrated lime to solidify silt as abutment backfill. The optimum ratio of firming agent and the compaction and mechanical properties of reinforced soil were revealed through compaction test and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) test was used to study the pore characteristics and hydration products of reinforced soil. 6% hydrated lime and alkali activated slag were used to solidify silt and fill the model of subgrade respectively. The pavement settlement regulation and soil internal stress-strain regulation of subgrade with different materials under uniformly distributed load were studied by model experiment. The effect of alkali activated slag curing agent on curing silt was verified. The research results can provide technical support for highway construction in silt area of the Yellow River alluvial plain.

Changes in substructure conditions, such as ballast fouling and subgrade settlement may cause the railway quality deterioration, including the differential geometry of the rails. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a hybrid cone penetrometer (HCP) to characterize the railway substructure. The HCP consists of an outer rod and an inner mini cone, which can dynamically and statically penetrate the ballast and the subgrade, respectively. An accelerometer and four strain gauges are installed at the head of the outer rod and four strain gauges are attached at the tip of the inner mini cone. In the ballast, the outer rod provides a dynamic cone penetration index (DCPI) and the corrected DCPI (CDCPI) with the energy transferred into the rod head. Then, the inner mini cone is pushed to estimate the strength of the subgrade from the cone tip resistance. Laboratory application tests are performed on the specimen, which is prepared with gravel and sandy soil. In addition, the HCP is applied in the field and compared with the standard dynamic cone penetration test. The results from the laboratory and the field tests show that the cone tip resistance is inversely proportional to the CDCPI. Furthermore, in the subgrade, the HCP produces a high-resolution profile of the cone tip resistance and a profile of the CDCPI in the ballast. This study suggests that the dynamic and static penetration tests using the HCP may be useful for characterizing the railway substructure.

Piles are often subjected to both axial and lateral loads. The nonlinear subgrade reaction method is widely used for the design of laterally loaded piles and in this approach the soil reaction is replaced with a series of independent nonlinear Winkler springs. In this study, Laterally loaded high strength H-piles were analyzed using a finite difference solution, and three p-y curve models with different k values(the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction, ［FL$\^$-3/］) were evaluated using data obtained from various field tests, and another analysis method using Q$\sub$g/ - y$\sub$g/ curve was developed. The results of this analysis were compared with the measured values to assess their applicability.

Concrete pavements are subjected to traffic and environmental loadings. Repetitive type of such loading cause fatigue distress which leads to failure by forming cracks in pavement. Fatigue life of concrete pavement is calculated from the stress ratio (i.e. the ratio of applied flexural stress to the flexural strength of concrete). For the correct estimation of fatigue life, it is necessary to determine the maximum flexural tensile stress developed for practical loading conditions. Portland cement association PCA (1984) and Indian road congress IRC 58 (2015) has given charts and tables to determine maximum edge stresses for particular loading and subgrade conditions. It is difficult to determine maximum stresses for intermediate loading and subgrade conditions. The main purpose of this study is to simplify the analysis of rigid pavement without compromising the accuracy. Equations proposed for determination of maximum flexural tensile stress of pavement are verified by finite element analysis.

말뚝의 허용횡방향지지력을 결정하는 방법으로는 지반반력법과 극한횡방향지지력에 근거한 방법이 많이 쓰이고 있는데 설계시 지반반력법에 근거한 방법만을 적용하는 경우가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반조건과 말뚝머리 구속조건 그리고 말뚝길이에 따른 말뚝의 허용지지력을 이들 두 가지 방법을 적용하여 구하고 상호 비교함으로써 해석에서 고려한 조건들이 말뚝의 허용횡방향지지력 결정법에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 말뚝머리 구속조건 및 말뚝길이에 상관없이 연약 점성토 지반에 설치된 말뚝의 경우 지반반력법에 의한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있었고 점성토의 비배수강도가 커짐에 따라 극한횡방향지지력을 통한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있다. 사질토 지반에 설치된 말뚝의 경우 느슨한 사질토지반에 설치된 말뚝머리 자유인 짧은말뚝의 경우를 제외하고 모든 경우에 있어 극한횡방향지지력을 통한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있다. 횡방향말뚝의 설게시 허용 횡방향변위량에 근거한 설계만으로 충분하다는 견해도 있지만 본 연구결과에 따르면 극한횡방향지지력에 근거한 허용횡방향지지력의 계산 또한 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 수평지반반력계수는 허용횡방향변위량 이내에서는 말뚝폭에 큰 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었으며 실제 많이 쓰이는 말뚝폭의 범위인 20~90cm 인 경우 말뚝폭의 영향을 무시해도 될 것으로 생각된다.

해성점토가 주를 이루고 있는 연안지역에서는 높은 함수비와 많은 세립토 함유로 매립 및 투기도 많은 어려움이 따르고 있고 시공에 있어 성토재의 부족이라는 또 다른 문제에 직면하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 제지애쉬 첨가 고화제를 혼합한 현장발생 유용토의 동상특성이나 강도특성을 고려한 배합비를 결정하기 위해 혼합토의 광물학적 분석은 물론 배합비에 따른 강성의 변화를 분석하기 위한 일축압축강도실험을 수행하였다. 또한 현장발생토의 고화처리 효과를 검증하고 노상재로의 활용성을 평가하기 위해 동상시험과 휠트래킹시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 제지애쉬 첨가 고화제를 6% 혼합할 경우 전반적으로 흙쌓기 재료의 품질기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며 본 연구 결과가 현장발생토의 활용에 대한 적합한 사용기준으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
