A ground treatment work for Hongkong container terminal yard is reported as a case study of site formation work with full dredging and replacement method. Ground treatment work adopting surcharge and deep compaction (vibroflotation) were applied to improve the sand creep potential. The sand creep parameter of 0 25% was assumed in design stage and improved up to 0.05% and 0.02% after surcharge and deep compaction respectively

This study investigates the creep behavior of bentonite-sand mixtures as potential buffer materials for low-level radioactive waste (LLW) repositories, with a specific case study in Taiwan. To assess the long-term hydro-mechanical properties, constant-volume swelling pressure, hydraulic conductivity, strain-controlled shear, and stress-controlled shear tests were conducted on MX80 and KV1 bentonite-sand mixtures. The experimental results indicate that MX80-sand 70/30 mixtures are prioritized as the buffer materials with 2.10 MPa swelling pressure and 1 × 10^-13 m/s hydraulic conductivity. However, the shear strength of mixtures was reduced by almost 50 % when fully saturated. Furthermore, this study proposed a novel stress-controlled direct shear apparatus to retrieve the creep model parameters. The numerical method based on the creep model efficiently supports and simulates the saturation process and creep displacement. The finite element method (FEM) result predicts that the buffer of both bentonite-sand mixtures will achieve an average degree of saturation of 95 % at the end of three decades and full saturation in 100 years. The simulated creep displacement results at key nodes suggest that both top and bottom parts in the buffer, assembled from MX80-sand 70/30 mixtures or KV1-sand 70/30 mixtures, will have almost equivalent values of 4 mm in the horizontal and 2 mm in the vertical directions eventually.

Flowable fill is generally a mixture of sand, fly ash, a small amount of cement and water. Sand is the major component of most flowable fill with waste materials. Various materials, including two waste foundry sands(WFS), an anti-corrosive waste foundry sand and natural soil, were used as a fine aggregate in this study. Natural sea sand was used for comparison. The flow behavior, hardening characteristics, and ultimate strength behavior of flowable fill were investigated. The unconfined compression test necessary to sustain walkability as the fresh flowable fill hardens was determined and the strength at 28-days appeared to correlate well with the water-to-cement ratio. The strength parameters, like cohesion and internal friction angle, were determined for the samples prepared by different curing times. The creep test for settlement potential was conducted. The data presented show that by-product foundry sand, an anti-corrosive WFS, and natural soil can be successfully used in controlled low strength materials(CLSM), and it provides similar or better properties to that of CLSM containing natural sea sand.

일반적으로 유동성 뒤채움재는 모래, 플라이애쉬, 물과 소량의 시멘트를 혼합하여 이용한다. 플라이애쉬는 재활용재료로서 최근에 재활용 활용도가 매우 높아, 이를 대체할 대체제로서 해양준설토를 이용하였다. 해양준설토를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재의 특성을 비교하기 일반바다모래를 이용한 혼합물을 이용하였다. 해양준설토를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재의 흐름특성, 경화특성 및 일축압축강도 특성을 평가하였다. 유동성 뒤채움재의 초기 공용성평가를 위해 최적의 배합비에서 3일 양생한 시료의 강도 특성을 이용하였다. 시간에 따른 유동성 뒤채움재의 점착력과 내부마찰각을 평가하였다. 또한 차량하중에 의한 침하량을 평가하기 위하여 크리프시험을 수행하였다. 이동용 FWD를 이용하여 혼합재료의 탄성계수를 역산하였다. 이러한 실험결과로부터 해양준설토를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재의 공학적 특성은 도로하부 지하매설물용 뒤채움재로서 충분한 것으로 판단되었다.
