In this paper, asymmetric drainage boundaries modeled by exponential functions which can simulate intermediate drainage from pervious to impervious boundary is proposed for the one-dimensional consolidation problem, and the solution for the new boundary conditions was derived. The new boundary conditions satisfy the initial and the steady state conditions, and the solution for the new boundary conditions can be degraded to the conventional solution by Terzaghi. Convergence study on the infinite series solution showed that only one term in the series is needed to meet the precision requirement for larger degree of consolidation, and that more terms in the series for smaller degree of consolidation. Comparisons between the present solution with those by Terzaghi and Gray are also provided.

The estimation of consolidation rate is one of the important factors in the construction on soft clayey deposits. A number of researches are carried out to predict the consolidation behavior in field, however, most of the results show the discrepancies between the prediction and observation. This paper analyzes consolidation behavior of normally consolidated clay in K/sub o/ condition with 2-dimensional drainage by use of the numerical methods. Elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analyses are compared in terms of the dissipation of excess pore pressure. These results are also compared with Terzaghi-Rendulic's equation that is implemented by finite difference method. The consolidation time calculated by using elastic model is found to be similar to the result of Terzaghi-Rendulic's equation. The consolidation predicted by MCC model takes more time than other cases. Initial increase of excess pore pressure in radial drainage can be shown, however, this phenomenon does not have a significant effect on tile final consolidation time.

In general, two methods have been used to predict settlement of soft ground. One method is Terzaghi's one dimensional consolidation theory which gives time-settlement relationship using the standard consolidation test results. The other is forecasting method of ground settlement to be occured in the future using in-situ monitoring data. The above both methods have some defects in application manner or in itself especially in very deep and soft clayey ground. In view of the lessons and experiences of soft ground improvement projects, several techniques were proposed for more accurate theorectical calculation of consolidation settlement as follows ; ① Subdivision of soft ground, ② Consideration of secondary compression, ③ Using the modified compression index, etc. And also, revised hyperbolic fitting method was suggested to minimize the error of predicted future settlement. In addition, revised De-Beer equation of immediate settlement of loose sandy soil was proposed to overcome the tendency to show too small settlement calculation results by original De-Deer equation. And also, considering the various effects of settlement delay in the improved ground by vertical drains, time-settlement caculation equation(Onoue method) was revised to match the tendency of settlement delay by using the characteristics of discharge capacity decreases of vertical drain with time elapse by the pattern of hyperbolic equation.

본 논문은 Biot의 압밀이론을 유한요소법에 의해 해석하는 데 있어 수정 Cam-clay model과 해석 기법으로서는 Christian Boehmer방법을 사용한 것이다. 특히 본 해석에 있어서 압밀의 시간간격과 요소의 분할은 정도와 경제성의 관점에서 연구하였다. 나아가 본 프르그램의 정확을 조사하기 인하여 본 프로그램에 Terzaghi의 정해에 의한 일차원추밀의 해석을 시도하여 그 정상성을 확인하고 또한 Magnan이 연구목적으로 수행한 프랑스의 Cubzac-les-ponts에서 시험성토의 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 주요결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 일차원압밀의 평우에 배수층에 가까이 갈수록 요소를 세분하면 수치해석에서 더 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 2. 상간간격에 대해서는 1 log cycle당 20회로 하면 안정된다. 3. 긴 배수거리를 갖는 요소에서는 Mandel-cryer 효과가 시간지연과 더불어 일어난다. 4. 본 프로그램에 의해 예측된 초기하중 단계에서 축변위는 성토하중으로 산하는 것 보다도 강성을 주는 Mesh화한 것이 관측치와 잘 일치한다. 5. 본 프로그램에 의해 예측된 간극수압은 Magnan결과와 비교해 볼 때 관측치와 더 잘 일치 한다.
