The research reported herein is concerned with the model testing of piles socketed in soft rock which was simulated by cement, plaster, sand, water and concrete hardening accelerator. Model tests on a single pile socketed in simulated soft rock under axial cyclic loading were conducted and the bearing capacity and accumulated deformation characteristics under different static, and cyclic loads were studied by using a device which combined oneself-designed test apparatus with a dynamic triaxial system. The accumulated deformation of the pile head, and the axial force, were measured by LVDT and strain gauges, respectively. Test results show that the static load ratio (SLR), cyclic load ratio (CLR), and the number of cycles affect the accumulated deformation, cyclic secant modulus of pile head, and ultimate bearing capacity. The accumulated deformation increases with increasing numbers of cycles, however, its rate of growth decreases and is asymptotic to zero. The cyclic secant modulus of pile head increases and then decreases with the growth in the number of cycles, and finally remains stable after 50 cycles. The ultimate bearing capacity of the pile is increased by about 30% because of the cyclic loading thereon, and the axial force is changed due to the applied cyclic shear stress. According to the test results, the development of accumulated settlement is analysed. Finally, an empirical formula for accumulated settlement, considering the effects of the number of cycles, the static load ratio, the cyclic load ratio and the uniaxial compressive strength, is proposed which can be used for feasibility studies or preliminary design of pile foundations on soft rock subjected to cyclic loading.

Concentrated stresses due to the tunnel excavation easily cause failure around opening in the soft rock mass layer. Thus, while excavatng tunnel in the soft rock mass layerm it is very important to predict the possibility of failure or yielding zones around tunnel boundary. There are two typical methods to predict these; 1) the analysis of field monioring data and 2) numerical analysis. In this study, it was attempted to describe the time-dependent or progressive rock mass manner due to the continuous failure and fracturing caused by surrounding underground openings using the second method. In order to apply the effects of progressive failure underground, an iterative technique was used with the Hoek and Brown rock mass failure theory. By developing and simulating, three different shapes of twin tunnels, this research simulated and estimated the proper size of critical pillar width between tunnels, distributed stresses on the tunnel sides, and convergences of tunnel crowns. Moreover, results out progressive failure technique based on the Hoek and Brown theory were compared with the results out of Mohr-Coulomb theory.

In this study, an anchor dragging simulation was performed using the CEL method to design a rock-berm, which is a protection method for submarine cables. In order to simulate an anchor drag, preliminary simulations were first performed to determine the initial anchor penetration depth, anchor drag velocity, drag angle, and distance between the anchor and rock-berm. Based on the preceding simulation results, a safe rock-berm design for protecting the submarine cables was simulated to calculate the anchor penetration depth by the anchor dragging. As a result, the penetration depth of the anchor was found to be shallower in a hard seabed, and the penetration depth was deeper in a soft seabed, the height of the rock-berm was determined according to the physical properties of the seabed.

도심지 원형 수직구 굴착 시 주변 지반의 침하는 포장 하부에 설치된 인프라시설의 안정성 뿐만 아니라 상부구조의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 배면지반의 침하량을 예측하는 방법은 지반조건, 벽체 변위, 해석 방법 등에 따라 달라지므로 근접시공 설계자는 합리적으로 침하량을 예측해야한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 활용하여 굴착심도별로 지하수의 침투에 따른 영향을 고려하기 위해 비정상류, 정상류, 지하수를 고려하지 않은 조건으로 배면지반의 침하와 벽체의 변위 그리고 토압분포를 검토하였다. 수치해석결과, 배면지반의 침하량과 침하영향범위는 비정상류 상태가 정상류 상태보다 크게 발생하였으나 벽체의 수평변위는 반대로 정상류 상태가 비정상류 상태보다 크게 나타났다. 침하량의 크기는 굴착 깊이에 따라 다르게 나타났으며 굴착 깊이 별로 토사층에서 가장 크고 풍화암층, 연암층 순으로 감소하였다. 또한 수압을 포함한 수평응력값을 기존의 Rankine 토압식과 비교했을 때 토사지반에서는 유사한 경향을 보이나 암반층에서는 수치해석 결과보다 작은 토압형태가 나타남을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Pounding is a major cause of bridge damage during earthquakes. In an extreme situation, it can even contribute to the unseating of bridge girders. Long-span bridges will inevitably experience spatially varying ground motions. Soil-structure interaction (SSI) may play a significant role in the structural response of these structures. The objective of this research is to experimentally investigate the effect of spatially varying ground motions on the response of a three-segment bridge considering SSI and pounding. To incorporate SSI, the model was placed on sand contained in sandboxes. The sandboxes were fabricated using soft rubber in order to minimise the rigid wall effect. The spatially varying ground motion inputs were simulated based on the New Zealand design spectra for soft soil, shallow soil and strong rock conditions, using an empirical coherency loss function. The results show that with pounding, SSI can amplify the pier bending moments and the relative opening displacements.

연약지반에서 지하 공동의 굴착은 지반침하로 인하여 인근 지반 및 구조물에 영향을 끼치게 되고 그 결과 도로 및 시설물의 안정성에 심각한 위험요소로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 구조물의 안정 및 지반보강을 위하여 여러 가지 공법과 주입재료들을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실내 모형실험을 실시하여 연약지반에서 다양한 종류의 지하공동 굴착 시 상부 지반보강에 따른 지반침하량을 비교 분석하였으며 3차원 유한차분법에 근거한 FLAC 3D를 사용하여 지하공동 굴착에 따른 지반 침하를 수치적으로 모사했다. 모형실험에서의 결괏값과 수치해석의 결괏값이 비교적 일치하는 결과를 토대로 수치해석상에서 보강범위를 달리하여 지반 침하량을 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과 다양한 종류의 지하공동을 굴착함에 따른 지반침하 발생 여부 및 침하량 산정을 3차원 수치해석을 통해 보다 정확하게 구현할 수 있으며, 본 연구 결과는 지반침하 방지공법의 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
