Sand Compaction Pile(SCP) is a soil improvement method that a sand charge is introduced into the pipe, and the pipe is withdrawn part away while the sand pile is compacted and its diameter is enlarged. The sand used in this method should be of good quality. In Korea, crushed stone and washed sea sand are used frequently in SCP. However, use of these materials is restricted because of environmental problem and deficiency of supply. In the copper smelting process, about 0.7 million tons of copper slag are produced in Korea. The range of particle size distribution of copper slag is from 0.15mm to 5mm, so it can be a substitute for sand, and the relatively high specific gravity compared with the sand, is its characteristic. Copper slag is hyaline and so stable environmentally that in foreign country, such as Japan, Germany etc., it is widely used in harbor, revetment and offshore structure construction works. Therefore, in this study, the several laboratory tests were peformed to evaluate the applicability of copper slag as a substitute for sand of SCP. From the mechanical property test, the characteristics of sand and copper slag were compared and analyzed, and from laboratory model test, the strength of composite ground was compared and analyzed by monitoring the stress and ground settlement of clay, SCP and copper slag compaction pile. Specially, this study focused on the application of copper slag as sand substitute in SCP pilot tests based on laboratory tests results.

The paper is to show the behavior of composit ground which is installed with sheet pile in soft soil improved by sand compaction pile. The results of load-settlement relationship, earth pressure, stress concentration characteristics, and final water content were obtained by centrifuge model test. Two cases of tests, installation of sheet pile on the corner and both side of the loading plate for the improved SCP ground which was designed twice of the footing width, were performed for the tests under the vertical and horizontal loading and both side of corner. Finite element program(CRISP) for sand compaction pile using elasto-plastic model and numerical analysis for soft soil using modified cam-clay constitutive equation were compared and analized with the results of model tests. The result of analysis show the increased bearing capacity of soil after, SCP and sheet pile was installed.

This paper discusses the lateral behavior of single and group piles in homogeneous and non-homogeneous(two layered) soil. In the single pile, the model tests were conducted to investigate the effects on ratio of lower layer height to embedded pile length, ratio of soil modules of upper layer to lower layer, boundary rendition of pile head and tip, embedded pile length, pile construction condition, ground condition with saturate and moisture state in Nak-Dong river sand. Also, in the group pile, the model tests were to investigate the effects on spacing-to-diameter ratio of pile, pile array, ratio of pile spacing, boundary condition of pile head and tip, eccentric load and ground condition. The maximum bending moment and deflection induced in active piles were found to be highly dependent on the relative density, pile construction condition, boundary condition of pile head and tip. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the decrease of lateral bearing capacity in saturated sand was in the range of 31% - 53% as compared with the case of dry sand. Also, in the group pile, a spacing-to-diameter of 6.0 seems to be large enough to eliminate the group effect for the case of relative density of 61.8%, and 32.8%, and then each pile in such a case behaves essentially the same as a single pile. In this study, the program is developed by using the modified Chang method which used p - y method and the exact solution of governing equation of pile and it can be used to calculate the deflection, bending moment and soil reaction with FDM in non-homogeneous soil. In comparing the modified Chang method with field test results, the predict results shows better agreement with measured results in field tests.

Effects of porous fences on the wind erosion of sand particles from a triangular pile were investigated experimentally. The porous fence and sand pile were installed in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer. The mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles measured at the sand pile location were well fitted to the atmospheric boundary layer over the open terrain. Particle motion was visualized to see the motion of windblown sand particles qualitatively. In addition, the threshold velocity were measured using a light sensitive video camera with varying the fence porosity ${\varepsilon}$. As a result, various types of particle motion were observed according to the fence porosity. The porous wind fence having porosity ${\varepsilon}=30%$ was revealed to have the maximum threshold velocity, indicating good shelter effect for abating windblown dust particles.

Sand drain as a vertical drainage is widely used in soft ground improvement Recently, sand, the principal source of sand drain, is running out. The laboratory model tests were carried out to utilize gravel as a substitute for sand. Though which the characteristics of gravel are compared to those of sand for engineering purpose. Two cylindrical containers for the model test were filled with marine clayey soil from the west coast of Korea with a column in the center, one with sand, the other with gravel. Vibrating wire type piezometers were installed at the distance of 1.0D, 1.5D and 2.0D from the center of the column. The characteristics of consolidation were studied with data obtained from the measuring instrument place on the surface of the container. The parameter study was performed on the marine clayey soil before and after the test in order to verify the effectiveness of the improvement. The clogging effect was checked at various depth in gravel column after the test. In-situ tests area was divided into two areas by material used. One is Sand Drain(SD) and Sand Compaction Pile(SCP) area, the other is Gravel Drain(GD) and Gravel Compaction Pile(GCP) area. Both areas were monitored to obtain the information on settlement, pore water pressure and bearing capacity by measuring instruments for stage loading caused by embankment. The results of measurements were analyzed. According to the test results, the settlement was found to be smaller in gravel drain than in sand drain. The increase in bearing capacity by gravel pile explains the result. The clogging effect was not found in gravel column. It is assumed that gravel is relatively acceptable as a drainage material. Gravel is considered to be a better material than sand for bearing capacity, and it is found that bearing capacity is larger when gravel is used as a gravel compaction pile than as a gravel drain.

In this study, two large pile load tests were performed in the deep sand gravel deposit of Nakdong river basin so that the characteristics of the load transfer was identified. The fully instrumented rectangular barrette pile in the size of $1.5\times3.0m$ and the circular bored pile of the diameter 1.5 m were placed into the ground below 50 m. Under the applied loads of 2,400 tonf and 4,000 tonf, the test results of the load transfer showed the portion of 83% and 93% of the applied loads on the barrette pile and the bored pile, respectively, were supported by the skin friction along the pile shaft. It was revealed that the most of these skin friction mobilized in sand layer underlying clay layer having N-value more than 30 and that the friction per unit area of the bored pile was larger than the friction of barrette pile. However, if embedded in the stiff sand graval layer, the both piles were proven to be sufficient for using as the friction piles.

흙의 입자 크기에 따른 지반-말뚝 시스템의 동적 거동 차이를 알아보기 위해, 단말뚝 및 군말뚝에 대한 1g 진동대모형 실험을 수행하였다. 지반 조성에 사용된 시료는 주문진 표준사와 호주산 세사이며, 흙의 입자 크기에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 다른 실험 조건은 동일하게 하였다. 단말뚝 실험 결과 말뚝의 횡방향 변위는 말뚝 직경의 1%인 탄성 영역 이내로 발생하였다. 단말뚝의 p-y 거동을 살펴보면 동일 변위에서 주문진 표준사 모형 지반의 지반 반력 값이 호주산 세사 모형 지반에서의 지반 반력보다 더 크게 나타났으며, 이는 주문진 표준사 모형 지반에서의 초기 탄성 강성이 더 크게 평가됨을 의미한다. 이러한 입자 크기에 따른 초기 지반 강성 차이는 공진주 실험 및 삼축압축실험을 통해서 확인하였다. 또한 외삽을 통해 단말뚝의 동적 p-y 중추 곡선을 산정한 결과 동적 p-y 중추곡선의 강성이 주문진 표준사 지반에서 호주산세사 지반보다 더 크게 산정되었다. 그러므로 사질토 지반에서 입자크기에 관계없이 동일한 p-y곡선을 적용하여 말뚝의 동적 거동을 예측하는 방법에 오류가 있을 수 있다. 군말뚝 실험에서는 단말뚝 실험과 같은 실험 조건에서 말뚝 직경의 1% 이상의 횡방향 변위가 발생하였으며, 모형 지반 종류와 상관없이 유사한 p-y 거동이 나타났다. 이는 변형율이 큰 비선형 영역에서는 주문진 표준사와 호주산 세사의 강성 차이가 크지 않기 때문이다. 이러한 일련의 단말뚝 및 군말뚝 실험 결과로 볼 때, 군효과를 평가하기 위해 단말뚝의 p-y 곡선에 단순히 p-승수(p-multiplier)를 곱하여 군효과를 고려하는 방법에 오류가 있을 수 있다고 판단된다.

최근에 샌드드레인공법이나 샌드콤팩션파일공법 등과 같이 모래말뚝을 이용한 연약점토지반 개량공법의 적용이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 공법들로 개량된 연약점토지반에서는 모래말뚝에 의한 압밀촉진효과를 기대 할 수 있는데 실무에서는 보통 Barren의 이론해 등과 같은 이론식을 이용하여 그 효과를 평가하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 이론식들은 복합지반의 비선형 체적압축거동과 압밀중의 투수계수 변화 현상을 고려할 수 없으며, 따라서 그 평가결과가 합리적 이라고 판단하기 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 일련의 수치해석을 실시하여 Barren의 이론해에 적용되는 복합지반의 압밀정수 결정법에 대하여 고찰하였다. 수치해석 결과의 분석을 통하여 압밀 중에 변화하는 점토부의 체적압축거동특성과 투수성의 변화특성을 고려한 압밀정수의 결정방법을 제안하였다.

Sand Compaction Pile method is one of the widely used ground improvement techniques at loose sand or soft clay ground in Asian countries. However, due to environmental and economical problems concerning shortage of sand resources alternative materials are needed to substitute sand for SCP. This study is on the applicability of slag as an alternative material SCP. Consolidation and direct shear test are performed for the slag-clay composite specimens to find out the positive effects of consolidation rate and shear resistance of slag reinforced ground. The result shows that slag has similar effects with sand in consolidation and shear resistance behavior in composite ground, which says slag can be used as alternative material of sand for SCP.
