Soil properties, drain conditions and numerical analysis technique have great influence upon consolidation behavior. In relevant to the above described fact, this paper aims to examining the applicability of prediction model of consolidation as well as deformation characteristics for soft clayey foundation improved by sand drain. A case study for actual foundation of Kwangyang steel works was performed. Single drain consolidation model proposed by Hansbo and Biot's consolidation theory coupled with modified Cam-clay model developed during the research were employed for the FEM numerical analysis of the foundation. Both smear effect and drain capacity were taken into account for the analysis. Finally the applicability of the newly developed technique to the behavior of foundation composed of soft clay proved satisfactory.

본 논문에서는 석션파일의 하중지지력 및 압밀 거동에 대한 수치해석 내용을 다루었다. 수치해석에서는 파일-지반 간 인터페이스 거동이 고려된 3차원 모델을 적용하여 석션파일의 길이 대 직경 비, 하중 형태(수직하중, 수평 및 조합하중)를 변화시키며 해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 토대로 수직 및 수평지지력 거동 특성을 고찰하였다. 아울러 임의의 수직하중이 작용하는 조건에 대해 응력-간극수압 연계해석을 수행하여 석션파일의 하중재하 후 압밀거동을 고찰하였다. 해석 결과 석션파일의 지지력은 석션파일과 지반간의 상호작용 모델링 여부에 따라 큰 차이가 발생하는 것으로 검토되어 인터페이스 모델링의 중요성이 부각되었으며 산정된 하중지지력 결과를 토대로 제시된 조합하중에 대한 파괴포락선을 제시하였다. 아울러 응력-간극수압 연계해석에 근거한 압밀해석 결과를 분석한 결과 석션파일은 주면마찰이 주 하중지지 구조인 관계로 수직하중 재하시 과잉간극수압 발생량 및 압밀침하량은 미미한 것으로 검토되었다.

본 연구에서는 압밀을 고려한 고등 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 압밀이 진행 중인 지반에 근입된 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 거동을 연구하였다. 수치해석에서는 단독말뚝 및 말뚝 중심간의 간격이 2.5D인 $4{\times}4$ 및 $6{\times}6$ 군말뚝을 고려하였다. 여기서 D는 말뚝의 직경을 의미한다. 부마찰에 의한 말뚝의 침하 및 부마찰력은 압밀초기 단계에서 비교적 빠르게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 압밀도가 50~75%를 초과하는 경우 말뚝의 침하 및 부마찰력의 증가량은 상대적으로 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 성토층에서의 부마찰은 신속하게 발현되며 이후의 압밀 단계에서는 일정하게 유지된다. 말뚝에 작용하는 부마찰은 상대변위 및 유효지중응력에 좌우되는 것으로 분석되었다. 압밀 초기단계에서는 상대변위가 큰 영향을 미치는데 비해, 압밀 후반기에서는 유효지중응력이 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 말뚝-인접지반에서의 전단응력 전이로 인해 말뚝과 인접한 흙의 유효수직응력이 감소하며 이러한 현상은 군말뚝에서 특히 현저하다. 부마찰이 영향을 미치는 영역의 범위는 흙의 유효수직응력의 분포를 고려할 경우 말뚝으로부터 수평으로 20D 정도 되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 비해 말뚝에 작용하는 유효수평응력은 far field 조건의 응력과 거의 유사한 것으로 분석되었다.

The total embankment settlement consists of three stages: the initial settlement, the primary consolidation settlement, and the secondary consolidation settlement. The total embankment settlement is largely controlled by the primary consolidation settlement, which is usually computed with numerical models that implement Biot's theory of consolidation. The key parameter that affects the primary consolidation time is the coefficient of permeability. Due to the complex stress and strain states in the foundation soil under the embankment, to be able to predict the consolidation time more precisely, aside from porosity-dependency, the strain-dependency of the coefficient of permeability should be also taken into account in numerical analyses. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional plane strain numerical model of embankment primary consolidation, which implements Biot's theory of consolidation with both porosity-dependent and strain-dependent coefficient of permeability. We perform several numerical simulations. First, we demonstrate the influence of the strain-dependent coefficient of permeability on the computed results. Next, we validate our numerical model by comparing computed results against in-situ measurements for two road embankments: one near the city of Saga, and the other near the city of Boston. Finally, we give our concluding remarks.

Superloading yield surface concept is newly introduced together with subloading yield surface conception in order to describe full gradation continuously of the mechanical behavior of soils from typical sand through intermediate soil to typical clay (All Soils). Finite deformation theory has been applied to the soil skeleton-pore water coupled continuum mechanics, which enables us to discuss things in a perpetual stream from stable state to unstable state like from deformation to failure and vice versa like from liquefaction to post liquefaction consolidation of sand (All States). Incremental form of the equation of motion has been employed in the continuum mechanics in order to incorporate a rate type constitutive equation, which is "All Round" enough to predict ground behavior under both static and dynamic conditions. The present paper is the shortened version of the lecture note delivered in 2008 Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Conference, Science Council Japan, but with newly developed application examples.

일반 자연 점토지반의 투수계수는 다양한 응력수준에 따라 비선형적인 특성을 보이며, 이러한 지반 투수계수의 비선형성은 상재하중 재하시 지반의 압밀시간 및 지반 변형 특성에 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 지반의 비선형 투수계수의 영향성을 고찰하기 위해 수정 Cam-clay 모델과 Biot의 압밀이론을 접목한 연립이론(Coupled theory)을 이용하여 FEM 수치해석을 실시하였다. 검토 결과 비선형 투수성은 비선형 특성을 나타내는 투수계수 변화비와 전체 간극비에 대한 평균 투수계수의 크기에 따라 지반 변형과 지중 과잉간극수압에 미치는 영향성이 상이하게 나타났다. 따라서, 보다 현장에 근접한 해석을 실시하기 위해서는 지반 투수계수의 변화비와 평균 투수계수의 크기에 따라 투수계수의 비선형 특성을 고려해야할 것인지를 판단해야 할 것이다.

The paper presents a comparison between a semi-implicit time integration linear finite element implementation and fully-implicit nonlinear Newton-Raphson finite element implementation of a triphasic small strain mixture formulation of an elastic partially saturated porous medium. The pore air phase pressure pa is assumed atmospheric, i.e., $p_a$ = 0, although the formulation and implementation are general to handle increase in pore air pressure as a result of loading, if needed. The solid skeleton phase is assumed linear isotropic elastic and partially saturated 'consolidation' in the presence of surface infiltration and traction is simulated. The verification of the implementation against an analytical solution for partially saturated pore water flow (no deformation) and comparison between the two implementations is presented and the important of the porosity-dependent nature of the partially saturated permeability is assessed on comparison with a commercial code for the partially saturated flow with deformation. As a result, the response of partially saturated permeability subjected to the porosity influences on the saturation of a soil, and the different behaviors of the partially saturated soil between staggered and monolithic coupled programs is worth of attention because the negative pore water pressure in the partially saturated soil depends on the difference.

Laboratory and field data showed that deep mixed (DM) columns accelerated the rate of consolidation of the soft foundations. Most analyses of consolidation of DM column-improved foundations so far have been based on the elastic theory. In reality, the DM columns may yield due to the stress concentration from the soft soil and its limited strength. The influence of column yielding on the degree of consolidation of the soft foundation improved by DM columns has not been well investigated. A three-dimensional mechanically and hydraulically-coupled numerical method was adopted in this study to investigate the degree of consolidation of the DM column foundation considering column yielding. A unit cell model was used, in which the soil was modeled as a linearly elastic material. For a comparison purpose, the DM column was modeled as an elastic or elastic-plastic material. This study examined the aspects of stress transfer, settlement, and degree of consolidation of the foundations without or with the consideration of the yielding of the DM column. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of the column yielding on the stress concentration ratio, settlement, and average degree of consolidation of the DM column foundation. The stress concentration ratio increased and then decreased to reach a constant value with the increase of the column modulus and time. A simplified method was proposed to calculate the maximum stress concentration ratios under undrained and drained conditions considering the column yielding. The simplified method based on a composite foundation concept could conservatively estimate the consolidation settlement. An increase of the column modulus, area replacement ratio, and/or column permeability increased the rate of consolidation.

This paper proposes an approach for staged finite element modeling with coupled seepage and stress analysis. The stage modeling is based on the predefined inter-relationship between the base model and the unit stage models. A unit stage constitutes a complete finite element model, of which the geometries and attributes are subject to changes from stage to stage. The seepage analysis precedes the mechanical stress analysis at every stage. Division of the wet and dry zone and the pore pressures are evaluated from the seepage analysis and used in determining input data for the stress analysis. The results of the stress analysis may also be associated with the pore water pressures. For consolidation analysis, the pore pressure and the displacement variables are mixed in a coupled matrix equation. The time marching solution produces the dissipation of excess pore pressure and variation of stresses with passage of time. For undrained analysis, the excess pore pressures are computed from the stress increment due to loading applied in the unit stage and are used in revising the hydraulic head. The solution results of a unit stage are inherited and accumulated to the subsequent stages through the relationship of the base model and the individual unit stages. Implementation of the proposed approach is outlined on the basis of the core procedures, and numerical examples are presented for demonstration of its application.

Soil properties are not random values which is represented by mean and standard deviation but show spatial correlation. Especially, soils are highly variable in their properties and rarely homogeneous. Thus, the accuracy and reliability of probabilistic analysis results is decreased when using only one random variable as design parameter. In this paper, to consider spatial variability of soil property, one-dimensional random fields of coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) were generated based on a Karhunen-Loeve expansion. A Latin hypercube Monte Calro simulation coupled with finite difference method for Terzaghi's one dimensional consolidation theory was then used to probabilistic analysis. The results show that the failure probability is smaller when consider spatial variability of $C_v$ than not considered and the failure probability increased when the autocorrelation distance increased. Thus, the uncertainty of soil can be overestimated when spatial variability of soil property is not considered, and therefore, to perform a more accurate probabilistic analysis, spatial variability of soil property needed to be considered.
