In order to make use of finished municipal landfill as a construction site, it is necessary to consider environmental and geotechnical aspects for the ground improvement and application of waste landfill. In environmental aspect, methods for management of landfill gas and leachate have to be established, and in geotechnical aspect, it is necessary to investigate available method for constructing structure foundation. In this study, the finished landfill was selected for pilot test. Investigation about the environmental characteristics of the waste landfill was performed to establish the methods far management of landfill gas according to monitoring the gas quantity and to investigate economical efficiency according to utilizing landfill gas. Investigation about cases of utilizing the waste landfill in Korea and abroad as construction site was performed and pilot tests were performed to analyze the improvement effects of methods such as dynamic compaction method and PG pile method available to waste landfill. The results of this study showed that economical profits could be gained by utilizing landfill gas and improved waste landfill, besides, dynamic compaction method was effective in case of improvement depth being shallow, and PG pile method was effective in case of improvement depth being deep.

Steel frame-type retaining walls(SFRW) are constructed by on site bolting of prefabricated steel frames and internal filling of materials such as rocks with the size of 150-300mm. Easy & fast construction, superior drainage performance and structural performance to rigorous site conditions are some of the merits of applying the SFRW to various construction sites. After the development of the structural details, a test construction of SFRW, with the height of 6m and 30m in length, was carried out at an apartment site. After completion, several months of monitoring was carried out on the structure to check displacement, tilting, settlement, soil pressures and drainage characteristics. The results of the structural behavior of SFRW along with its construction methods are presented in the paper.

This paper proposes a new approximate analytical solution for highly nonlinear vibration of mechanical systems called Hamiltonian Approach (HA) that can be widely use for structural health monitoring systems. The complete procedure of the HA approach is studied, and the precise application of the presented approach is surveyed by two familiar nonlinear partial differential problems. The nonlinear frequency of the considered systems is obtained. The results of the HA are verified with the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta's [RK] algorithm. It is established the only one iteration of the HA leads us to the high accurateness of the solution.

A case study deals with Squeezing behavior under tunneling. Squeezing stands for large time-dependent convergence during tunnel excavation. Squeezing can occur in both rock and soil as long as the particular combination of induced stresses and material properties pushes some zone around the tunnel beyond the limiting shear stress at which creep starts. Under squeezing rock conditions, If the support installation is delayed the rock mass moves into the tunnel and a stress redistribution takes place around it. On the contrary, if deformation is restrained, squeezing will lead to long-term load build-up of rock support. This paper shows analysis case mutually with monitoring and numerical analysis result of squeezing behavior of Pinglin tunnel in Taiwan.

In this paper, using soil slope inclinometer observations of lateral flow is used as a traditional way, but there are some decisions. Inclinometers in the process of installing and monitoring is costly. Severe incline slope of the lateral flow is observed in the inefficient. As a solution for it using TDR sensors are used to. Metal conductors such as coaxial cable and general cable uses a measurement sensor can be installed on site at a lower cost and slope measurements are available for long-term monitoring. When TDR sensor is installed on the slopes, changes in the behavior of slopes causes the earth pressure. TDR sensors determine the change of earth pressure and tried to analyze the behavior of slopes.

In this study, we dealt with an analysis and development of measurement systems for tunnel and slope structures under a high velocity. Deterioration of tunnel and slope structures becomes a critical issue in regard to both safety and economic concerns. Deterioration itself is inevitable, but condition assessment technology and nondestructive evaluation techniques could provide solutions to ensure public safety by means of detecting damage before serious and expensive degradation consequences occur. We reviewed the existing monitoring and maintenance systems of slopes and tunnels and more advanced directions, especially for highways under high-speed vehicles.

As a state-of-the-art paper related to consolidation settlement, the 31th Terzaghi lecture was briefly described. Case histories that are compared between predicted and measured settlements in the Nakdong River deltaic plane were introduced to show the true picture of our technology. Structures and other features of clays in this country were needed to understand, which are closely related to sample disturbance and also consolidation properties. In order to improve the settlement-related technology, some problems that we have faced and their alternatives were considered.

Larger area will be constructed in a harbor land and container terminal which are constructed in reclaimed land using the dredged materials. Soil improvement work is to be carried out including constructibility, in which is monitoring devices, measuring frequency, installations etc. The ground water tables in the reclaimed area are affected by the several factors which are design reclamation level, consolidation settlement, remaining surcharge pressure and remaining excess pore water pressure. The plan wii be drawn up in which monitoring results for the ground water tables are capable to provide the reliable ground water table when designers and civil engineers construct the harbor structures considering constructibility.

Better understanding of in-situ mechanical behavior of pavement foundations is very important to predict long-term effects on the system performance of transport infrastructure. In order to do that, resilient stiffness characterization of geomaterals is needed to properly adopt such mechanistic analysis under both traffic and environmental loadings. In this paper, in situ monitoring data from KHC test road was used to analyze the non-linearity of stress conditions under traffic and moisture loadings. Then, the predicted non-linear response using finite element method with a selected constitutive model of foundation geomaterials are verified with the field data.

A monitoring system for a field magnetometer was configured with assistance of a Raspberry Pi as a data logger. The suggested geomagnetic system uses a semi-real-time data transmission module. The system consists of two parts: a field-observation part and a data-center part. The field-observation part comprises a Raspberry Pi, magnetometer, LTE router, and power source, while the data center part takes samples at the site. The collected magnetometer data are then sent to the data center through the LTE router. The newly designed monitoring system was deployed and checked in Jeju-do island, and found to operate stably. The suggested system is promising in that it is simple and cost saving, providing at least physical insight and knowledge on the complex natural phenomena.
