Laboratory calibration chamber tests for cone penetrometers, pressuremeters and dilatometers in cohesionless soil specimens have been conducted by numerous researchers. However, there have been only few applications to compacted or preconsolidated cohesive soils. Therefore, for the first time, Calibration Chamber System was developed in Korea University. This can be attributed to the extremely time consuming and laborious process involved in the preparation of large cohesive soil specimens in addition to other complexities involving instrumentation for pore pressure monitoring and the need for maintaing saturation by back pressure. Chamber System with similar principle as LSU Chamber System was made of more strengthen and complementary form by increasing system diameter(1.2m), carrying out 1st and 2nd consolidation process in one system for smooth and safe work, accurate Data Aquisition.

This research aimed to appraise the effectiveness of four optimization approaches - cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA), multi-verse optimization (MVO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) - that were enhanced with an artificial neural network (ANN) in predicting the bearing capacity of shallow foundations located on cohesionless soils. The study utilized a database of 97 laboratory experiments, with 68 experiments for training data sets and 29 for testing data sets. The ANN algorithms were optimized by adjusting various variables, such as population size and number of neurons in each hidden layer, through trial-and-error techniques. Input parameters used for analysis included width, depth, geometry, unit weight, and angle of shearing resistance. After performing sensitivity analysis, it was determined that the optimized architecture for the ANN structure was 5×5×1. The study found that all four models demonstrated exceptional prediction performance: COA-MLP, MVO-MLP, PSO-MLP, and TLBO-MLP. It is worth noting that the MVO-MLP model exhibited superior accuracy in generating network outputs for predicting measured values compared to the other models. The training data sets showed R² and RMSE values of (0.07184 and 0.9819), (0.04536 and 0.9928), (0.09194 and 0.9702), and (0.04714 and 0.9923) for COA-MLP, MVO-MLP, PSO-MLP, and TLBO-MLP methods respectively. Similarly, the testing data sets produced R² and RMSE values of (0.08126 and 0.07218), (0.07218 and 0.9814), (0.10827 and 0.95764), and (0.09886 and 0.96481) for COA-MLP, MVO-MLP, PSO-MLP, and TLBO-MLP methods respectively.

Submarine pipelines encounter significant wave forces in shallow coastal waters due to the action of waves. In order to reduce such forces (also to protect the pipe against anchors and dropped objects) they are buried below the seabed. The wave force variation due to burial depends on the engineering characteristics of the sub soil like hydraulic conductivity and porosity, apart from the design environmental conditions. For a given wave condition, in certain type of soil, the wave force can reduce drastically with increased burial and in certain other type of soil, it may not. It is hence essential to understand how the wave forces vary in soils of different hydraulic conductivity. Based on physical model study, the wave forces on the buried pipeline model is assessed for a wide range of wave conditions, for different burial depths and for four types of cohesion-less soils, covering hydraulic conductivity in the range of 0.286 to 1.84 mm/s. It is found that for all the four soil types, the horizontal wave force reduces with increase in depth of burial, whereas the vertical force is high for half buried condition. Among the soils, well graded one is better for half buried case, since the least vertical force is experienced for this situation. It is found that uniformly graded and low hydraulic conductivity soil attracts the maximum vertical force for half buried case. A case study analysis is carried out and is reported. The results of this study are useful for submarine buried pipeline design.

공용하중 상태에서 지반이 경험하는 변형률 크기는 0.1~1% 미만임이 밝혀지고 있다. 변형특성을 보다 엄밀히 평가하기 위하여는 미소변형률 영역에서의 신뢰성 있는 변형측정이 가능한 현장시험기기의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 공내째하시험기(PMT)를 사용하여 지반의 미소변형률 전단탄성계수를 측정하는 것이다. 공내재하시험에서 시추공 설치에 따른 주위 지반의 교란효과를 제거하기 위하여 초기 하중재하단계가 아닌 역재하-재재하 단계에서 PMT 주위지 반의 응력상태 및 변형률 크기를 고려하여 미소변형률 잔단탄성계수를 결정하였다. 실내 토조에서 성형한 모래시료와 화강풍화토 현장지반에서 시험을 수행하였으며,시험결과로부터 본 연구 에서 사용한 PMT시험은 변형률 크기 10-2%~0.5% 범위에서 신뢰성 있는 전단탄성계수 측정이 가능하였다. 또한 변형률 크기를 고려하여 다른 실내외시험에서 결정된 전단탄성계수와 비교 하면 서로 잘일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

비점성토 지반에서 말뚝 기초의 지지력을 산정하는 방법으로 동역학적 공식이 있다. 이 공식은 사용이 간편한 반면에 공식에 사용되는 경험적인 계수값들의 타당성과 항타기록의 정확성등이 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 현재 널리 사용되는 6 종류의 공식을 선정하여 각 공식이 산출한 계산 허용 지지력을 말뚝 재하 시험으로부터 구한 실측 허용 지지력과 비교 분석하고, 말뚝 재하시험 결과와 동일한 허용 지지력을 산출할 수 있도록 선형 회귀곡선을 이용하여 각 공식을 수정하였다. 수정된 공식중에서 Gates의 공식이 가장 신뢰도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 기존의 Olson 수정공식과 비교한 결과 본 논문 제안 공식이 10% 이상 보수적인 결과를 산출하였다.

At-rest and active earth pressure in plane strain condition have been applied to the design of cylindrical retaining walls. But many researchers have indicated that the earth pressure on the cylindrical retaining walls would be smaller than in plane strain condition due to wall deformation and stress relief. In this paper, the distribution of earth pressure acting on diaphragm wall of a shaft in dry sand was predicted by using the convergence confinement method and model test was performed to verify the estimated values. Test results showed that the earth pressure acting on the diaphragm wall of a shaft was expected to be 1.1~1.5 times larger than active earth pressure of plane strain condition and 0.7~0.9 times less than at-rest earth pressure.

Determination of geotechnical characteristics of soil is either to use the field samples to measure the characteristics of soil through laboratory test or measuring the characteristics directly in the field. Field test can be derived similar value by considering characteristics of site and laboratory test can be confirmed the characteristic of soil by testing with field samples. This article describes relative density as the measure of compaction for cohesionless soils and presents several simple and mathematical relationships to help engineers estimate needed parameters for relative density calculations. The main purpose of this research is to investigate possible correlations between coefficient of uniformity, coefficient of curvature, maximum and minimum void ratio, mean grain size. Results show a linear relationship between the minimum and maximum void ratios and a power function relationship between coefficient of uniformity and the limiting void ratios. Void ratio range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum void ratios, appeared to be log normally distributed but showed no simple mathematical fit to the data. these results were shown to help engineers estimate needed parameters for relative density calculations.

Many of the recent investigations in the field of geotechnical engineering focused on the bearing capacity theories of multilayered soil. A number of factors affect the bearing capacity of the soil, such as soil properties, applied overburden stress, soil layer thickness beneath the footing, and type of design analysis. An extensive number of finite element model (FEM) simulation was performed on a prototype slope with various abovementioned terms. Furthermore, several non-linear artificial intelligence (AI) models are developed, and the best possible neural network system is presented. The data set is from 3443 measured full-scale finite element modeling (FEM) results of a circular shallow footing analysis placed on layered cohesionless soil. The result is used for both training (75% selected randomly) and testing (25% selected randomly) the models. The results from the predicted models are evaluated and compared using different statistical indices (R² and RMSE) and the most accurate model BBO (R²=0.9481, RMSE=4.71878 for training and R²=0.94355, RMSE=5.1338 for testing) and TLBO (R²=0.948, RMSE=4.70822 for training and R²=0.94341, RMSE=5.13991 for testing) are presented as a simple, applicable formula.

횡하중이 작용하는 짧은말뚝의 지지거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들에 대한 분석을 문헌과 사례를 통해 제시하였다. 가상고정점은 $1/{\beta}$를 일률적으로 적용하는 것보다 지반의 강성에 따라 적용되어야 하고, Chang(1937)법과 P-Y 해석법이 유사한 고정점 위치를 예측하였다. 점성토의 수평지지력은 실내와 현장이 다른 특성을 보였고, 평가방법은 실내시험에서는 모두 과소예측을 하였고, 현장은 과소 또는 과대 예측을 한다. 현장실험에서는 Hansen(1961)법이 비교적 실측에 근접한 예측결과를 제시하였다. 사질토의 수평지지력 평가법은 실내시험에서는 과대예측을 하였고, 현장도 대부분 과대예측한다. 경험적 수평지지력 분포도를 사용한 Zhang(2005)법이 비교적 실측에 근접한 예측 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서는 점성토 지반에 대하여 극한수평지지력 분포도 및 산정방법을 제안하였다. 제안법은 다른 방법에 비해 실측과 가장 근접한 결과를 추정하였다.
