Electric transmission lines pass through a variety of area. Foundation supporting the conductors and tower are selected properly in accordance with external load, for example dead load, wind load, snow load, construction load etc, and topography and geology condition. Typical types of foundation are as follows: pad foundation for small load and hard soil or rock in mountainous area, pile foundation for medium or large load and soft soil in plain field area. This paper introduced cylindrical foundation design & construction for large load and mountainous area. This foundation failure mode against pulling-out show splitting failure by tensile force toward circumferential direction.

In this study, we analyzed lateral behavior of connected foundation for transmission tower in clay. For this study, we performed model lateral load test, measured load-displacement curve of connected foundation. For the tests, we manufactured connected foundation model that consider a change of rigidity, installed various measuring sensors for understanding of elements and general foundation behavior. From the test results, we measured load capacities using various methods, compared and analyzed these capacities.

Resistance factors for static bearing capacity of driven steel pipe piles were calibrated in the framework of reliability theory. A comprehensive foundation design case study on an actual bridge was performed using resistance factors developed in this study. Comparing with Allowable Stress Design (ASD), LRFD design method provides quantitative evaluation of safety level of designed foundation and exhibits considerable potential economy in design.

모래지반의 상대밀도, 말뚝의 시공방법, 일정근입깊이에 따른 소요향타 에너지 그리고 지하수 조건에 따라 말뚝의 지지력과 하중전이를 연구하기 위하여 강관말뚝을 이용한 모형실험을 수행하였다. 매입말뚝은 말뚝을 미리 설치한후에 지반성형을 실시하였고, 타입말뚝은 매입말뚝과 같은 깊이까지 항타높이를 5, 10, 15cm로 달리하여 말뚝을 관입하였다. 그 뒤 정적하중을 단계적으로 가하여 하중-침하 곡선에 의한 모형 말뚝의 지지력과ㅏ 말뚝내의 등간격으로 설치된 변형 게이지를 이용하여 타입말뚝 의 하중전이에 대해 살펴보았다. 타입말뚝의 하중전이시험에서는 항타 전과 항타 후 말뚝내 하중전의 소효항타 에너지에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 매입말뚝의 시험결과는 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 대표적인 정적 지지력 공식들에 의하여 계산되어진 값들과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 상대밀도가 작은 느슨한모래지반에서는 Vesic 공식이 그리고 상대밀도가 큰 조밀한 모래지반에서는 Hanbu 공식이 가장 근접한 평가를 나타내었다. 하중전이시험에 의한 항타시 잔류응력은 모든 경우에서 지표면과 선단부위에서 아주 큰 잔류응력이 나타났고. 말뚝의 선단 지지력비는 상대밀도에 비례하게 증가하였다.

A wide range of problems geotechnical engineering have been analyzed by using the finite element method. In order to establish confidence in a numerical procedure, it is desirable that numerical solution be verified against field or laboratory observations, or both, and in order to aid the user in applying the method to practical problems, it is necessary to examine effects of various parameters that influence the behavior of engineering structures. Often it can be profitable to translate numerical solutions in formats that can be used readily for design analysis. The allowable bearing capacity of concrete piles is mainly governed by settlement rather than by strength of soil. Therefore, the load-displacement behavior of piles should be well understood at the design stage. This paper deals with some of these goals by considering the problem of load-displacement behavior of axially-loaded pile foundations.

Recenlty, there are many cases that structures are constructed on soft ground in domestic. Generally in those cases, appropriate geotechnical techniques for the ground are needed. In this study, an example for ground improvement of OO railroad station construction site is introduced and analyzed. The ground conditions of this site which is soft ground are that N value is under 6, average depth and ground water table is 24.4m, GL-1.7. So, as a countermeasure technique for bearing reinforcement, Compaction Grouting System (CGS) method was applied on construction site. To estimate the application of CGS method, piezo cone penetration test and static pile loading test were carried out during the construction. Results of analysis show that CGS method for improving the bearing capacity of soft ground is applicable for the ground well.

The Design criteria are different from one another due to the different engineering properties of rock in the every nation. Most of the test results of the rock-socketed piers were loaded two times of the design load capacities because they would be used in the foundation of the bridge or the building. So we have much difficulties in study of the load capacities of the rock-socketed piers by the test result in Korea. When we design the rock-socket piers, every designer uses the different formula, and makes different results. Recently the demand of the large bridges and the huge buildings has been increased. The adequate design criterion of the rock-socketed pier is urgently needed to design them reasonable. In this paper we analyzed the various design criteria and proposed the adequate design criterion which is based on the test results of the rock-socked piers in Korea.

Ductility of open piled wharves under reversed cyclic loads has been investigated. Experimental testing of five wharf models having a scale of about 1:4 was conducted under the application of horizontal reversed cyclic loading. The experiments were designed to focus on the horizontal ultimate load, ductility and failure mode of the considered wharf models. Nonlinear numerical analyses using the finite element method were also performed on numerical models representing the experimentally tested wharves. The results of the experimental tests showed that open piled wharves possessed favourable ductile behaviour and that their load bearing capacity did not depreciate until a ductility factor of 3 to 4 was reached. The numerical analysis showed that the relative rotation that took place at the joints between the steel piles and the R.C. beam was responsible for a considerable portion of the total horizontal deformation of the wharves. Therefore, it was concluded that introducing the joint stiffness in calculating the deformations of open piled wharves was important to achieve reasonable accuracy.

This study was carried out for the purpose of comparing in reference to sand drain in the next three different cases. First, The case of drain material (sand pile) has some rigidity during embankment and consolidation. Second, In usual case of no rigidity as a paper drain without permeability during embankment and consolidation Third, Check up clay behavior when above the two cases carried out respectively. This FEM analysis is consisted with Biot's consolidation equation when it is used for Christian Boehmer's numerical technique. The main results are obtained from above the Analysis When sand drain has some rigidity, the lateral and vertical deformation of clay foundation is restrained considerable amount and .exhibited bearing capacity of load as a pile According to the foundation in drained condition and untrained condition, the results are much variable in this analysis method. Also, The behaviors of stress path and pore water pressure met our expectation during , consolidation. This analysis should be considered to put into use of sand drain and design in future.

Sand Compaction Pile and Stone Column method have been used in widely during several decades as a technique to reinforce soft soils and increasing ultimate bearing capacity, accelerate consolidation settlement of the foundation ground. Stone column method, making a compaction pile using crushed stone, is a soft ground improvement method. However, stone column method is difficult to apply to the ground which is not mobilized enough lateral confine pressure because no bulging failure resistance. Hence, in present study, development the geogrid reinforced stone column system for settlement reduction and wide range of application of stone columns. To develop this system, triaxial compression tests were conducted for evaluation which is about behavior characteristics of stone column on replacement rate and confine pressure. Then, 3-dimensional numerical analysis were evaluated for application of the GRSC (geogrid reinforced stone column) system as evaluate behavior characteristics and settlement reduction effect of stone column reinforced by geogrid on types and reinforcing depth change of geogrid.
