The Prefabricated Vertical Drain(PVD) method is most widely used technique to accelerate the consolidation process and to strengthen the weak clayey soil in situ. Uncertainty in the consolidation process via the Prefabricated Vertical Drain(PVD), and the effects of uncertainty on the design of PVDs, are investigated in this paper, Among the effect factors, the coefficient of horizontal(radial) consolidation, C$\sub$h/, is the most important and sensitivity analysis of the degree of consolidation with respect to the other effect factors are carried out. For the reliable determination of uncertain quantities, the laboratory and in-situ tests are carried out. Henceforth, probability analysis that take the uncertainty into account are executed and reliable design method is provided in practice.

To analyze the consolidation with horizontal sand drains, the plane strain consolidation model under multi-ramp loading is established, and its corresponding analytical solution is derived by using the separation of variables method. The proposed solution is verified by the field measurement data and finite element results. Then, the effects of the loading mode and stress distribution on consolidation and dissipation of pore pressure are investigated. At the same time, the influence of hydraulic conductivity and thickness of sand blankets on soil consolidation are also analyzed. The results show that the loading mode has a significant effect on both the soil consolidation rate and generation-dissipation process of pore water pressure. In contrast, the influence of stress distribution on pore pressure dissipation is obvious, while its influence on soil consolidation rate is negligible. To guarantee the fully drained condition of the sand blanket, the ratio of hydraulic conductivity of the sand blanket to that of clay layer k_d/k_v should range from 1.0×10⁴ to 1.0×10⁶ with soil width varying from 100 m to 1000 m. A larger soil width correspondingly needs a greater value of kd/kv to make sure that the pore water can flow through the sand blanket smoothly with little resistance. When the soil width is relatively small (e.g., less than 100 m), the effect of thickness of the sand blanket on soil consolidation is insignificant. And its influence appears obvious gradually with the increase of the soil width.

본 연구에서는 정규압밀 및 과압밀상태의 구별없이 이차압밀 거동을 표현할 수 있는 3차원 탄-점성압밀이론에 의한 유한차분해석에 의해 버티칼 드레인으로 개량된 점성토 지반의 압밀지동을 해석하였다. 또한, 탄-접성압밀이론의 적용성에 대해 버티칼 드레인 타설지반의 모형실험결과와 비교하여 검토하였다. 이들 실험결과로부터, 과잉간극수압이 거의 소산된 상태에서의 버티칼 드레인 개량지반에서의 침하량은 1차원 조건에 비해 적으며, 이차압밀과정에서의 잔류침하량 및 침하속도는 1차원 조건보다 크게 나타남을 알았다. 마지막으로, 압밀과정의 거동에 대한 토질정수의 영향을 정규압밀 및 과압밀 상태에 대한 일련의 수치해석의 결과에 의해 조사하였다.

In order to accelerate the rate of consolidation settlement and to gain a required shear strength for a given soft clay deposit, the preloading technique combined with a vertical drainage system has been widely applied. In this study, the theory of axisymmetric concolidation, which considers the variation of compressibility and permeability during the consolidation process, has been developed. Smear and well resistance effects are also considered. Furthermore, several back-analysis schemes such as simplex method, BFGS method, and ADS have been adopted in the axisymmetric consolidation program(AXICON). The measured data in the first stage of consolidation are utilized to predict the subsequent consolidation behavior.

In this paper, utilizing void ratio-effective stress and void ratio-permeability relationships, a system of two nonlinear partial differential equations is derived to predict the consolidation characteristics of normally consolidated (NC) and overconsolidated (OC) soft clays subjected to cyclic loading. A developed feature of the coefficient of consolidation containing two key parameters is emerged from the differential equations. Effect of these parameters on the consolidation characteristics of soft clays is analytically discussed. It is shown that the ratios between the slopes of e-$log{\sigma}^{\prime}$ and e-log k lines in the NC and OC states play a major role in the consolidation process. In the companion paper, the critical assumptions made in the analytical discussion are experimentally verified and a numerical study is carried out in order to examine the proposed theory.

The Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVDs) method is one of the most widely used techniques to accelerate the consolidation process in-situ and hence increase its bearing capacity. In this paper, the degree of consolidation incorporated with PVDs was evaluated in O construction work site which composed with dredged soil. O Program PVD(Version 2.3) which developed by Asian Institute of Technology was used. The purpose of this analysis is efficiently to estimate the degree of consolidation by analyzing the surface settlement with time, and drainage at initial stage and final stage by using design-parameter which based on the in-situ tests and laboratory tests. This result can be compared with analysis of the degree of consolidation using Program PVD(Version 2.3) and the field observed data in the future studies.

본 연구에서는 점성토지반에서의 이차압밀특성을 규명하기 위해 정규압밀 영역에 대해 표준압밀시험을 수행하고, Yoshikuni가 제안한 탄-점성 압밀이론의 유한차분해석결과를 이용하여 점성토지반의 압밀특성을 조사하였다. 압밀시험은 초기압밀하중 0.8, 1.6, 3.2, 6.4kgf/$cm^2$의 4케이스에 대해 압밀하중 증분비(${\Delta}p/p_0$)를 1.0으로 하여 수행하였다. 또한 압밀하중증분비의 영향을 명확히 하기 위해 압밀하중 증분비를 변화시킨 장기압밀시험을 수행하였다. 얻어진 실내실험결과에 대해 탄-점성 압밀이론을 이용한 수치해석을 실시한 결과, 수치해석결과가 1차압밀과정에서 약간지연(또는 조기진행)되는 결과가 얻어졌지만, 이차압밀과정에 대해서는 잘 일치한 것으로부터 그 적용성을 검증하였다. 또한 일반적인 점성토지반의 모델지반을 작성하고 압밀특성에 영향을 미치는 압밀정수에 대해 수치모델링을 수행하고 그 영향에 대해서 분석하였다.

본 연구는 1차압밀 중의 크리프의 영향과 Yin이 제안한 탄-점-소성 모델에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 탄성모델을 이용한 일반적인 압밀이론은, 1차압밀 과정을 표현할 수 있으나 2차압밀을 표현할 수 없다. 이러한 결과는 2차압축을 표현할 수 있는 점성에 기인하며, 때로는 Ladd 등(1977)이 제안한 가정 A 및 B와 같은 스케일효과(실험실 공시체와 현장조건 사이의 점토층 두께의 차이)와 관련되어진다. 통상적으로 1차압밀 중의 크리프의 존재는 많은 연구자에 의해 확인되어졌으며, 가정 B가 잘 맞는 것으로 되어있다. 한편, 대형압밀시험을 통해 가정 A와 B의 중간적인 특성이 Aboshi(1973)에 의한 가정 C로써 제안되어졌다. 본 연구에서는 1차압밀 중의 침하-시간관계에 대한 크리프의 영향을 명백히 하기 위해, peat와 점토에 대해 분할형 압밀시험기를 이용하여 가정 B의 압밀시험을 행하였다. 그리고 Yin의 탄-점-소성 모델을 이용하여 실험결과를 해석하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1차압밀 종료시에 분할 공시체의 압축은 과잉간극수압 소산속도의 차이에 의해 동일하지 않았다. 또한 분할형 압밀시험기에 의해 측정된 평균변형률과 Yin의 EVP 모델을 이용한 해석치는 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 과잉간극수압의 소산에 대해서는 측정치가 Yin 모델에 비해 빨리 소산되었다.

In this study, the large scaled model test improved by sand drain was carried out to clarify the internal behavior of the three-dimensional consolidation under different secondary consolidation periods. From the results of model test, the void ratio in the undrained side was lager than in the drained side. In addition, the unconfined compressive strength in the long-term consolidated specimen was larger than that in the short-term consolidated one. It was also found that the unconfined compressive strength was larger in the drained side than in the undrained side. These reasons are considered to be due to the large effective stress by quick pore water pressure dissipation by the short drainage distance in the drained side. Furthermore, in order to investigate the three-dimensional consolidation behavior of clay ground improved by the vertical drain method, the numerical analysis obtained from the three-dimensional elasto-viscous consolidation theory proposed by author (2006) were compared with the test results. It was found that during the three-dimensional consolidation process not only vertical displacement but also radial displacement occurs inside the specimen.

N-Type $SbI_3$ doped $95%Bi_2Te_3+5%\;Bi_2Se_3$ compounds were newly fabricated by the combination of gas atomization process and Magnetic Pulsed Compaction process. The thermoelectric properties of the MPCed bulks according to consolidation temperatures were investigated by a combination of microscopy, XRD and thermoelectric property testing. The microstructure of MPCed bulk shows homogeneous and fine distribution through consolidated bulks due to the high solidification of compound powders. The research presented the challenges toward the successful consolidation of thermoelectric powder using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and analysis of thermoelectric properties of the consolidated bulks.
