The stability of structure, effectiveness of design and construction are very important factors in soil-structure design. The design-parameter is based on the test through laboratory-test and field-test. There are two ways to obtain the design-parameter. One is to through test, and the other is through relative documents and references. Recently, statistics has been used to get reliable data. In this study, Kriging method as Geostatistics and the theory of Bayesian's inference are used and the design-parameters are obtained. As the result of this study to the design-parameter is reliable and information about soil condition and soil properties in design and construction is easily found.

토양의 공극 크기별 분포는 토양중 수분의 함량과 수분퍼텐셜의 관계를 나타내는 토양수분특성 자료로부터 계산된다. 그러나 기존의 토양수분특성 측정방법들은 교란된 토양을 이용하거나 코어시료를 채취한다 하여도 동역학적으로 변화하는 현장 토양 공극분포를 반영하는 데는 많은 어려움이 있었다. 또한 이러한 토양수분특성 자료를 얻기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력이 요구되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교란되지 않은 현장 토양에서 측정한 불포화 수리전도도 자료로부터 토양의 공극 크기별 분포 곡선을 추정하는 이론적 체계를 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Brooks-Corey와 van Genuchten의 수리학적 모델을 이용하여 토양의 불포화 수리전도도 자료로부터 공극의 크기별 분포를 추정하는 이론적 모델을 전개하였으며, 이러한 이론적 모델에 근거하여 Brooks-Corey와 van Genuchten의 soil parameter들의 변화에 따른 불포화수리전도도와 공극 크기별 분포곡선의 모사하였다. 공극크기별 분포곡선의 모사는 토성별 불포화수리전도도 곡선의 scaling factor 역할을 하는 $K_s$를 1.0 cm $h^{-1}$로 설정하고, 수리학적 모델별로 일정한 경계조건 (Brooks-Corey soil parameters, ${\alpha}_{BC}=1-5L^{-1}$, b = 1 - 10; van Genuchten soil parameters, ${\alpha}_{VG}=0.001-1.0L^{-1}$, m = 0.1 - 0.9)에서 수행하였다. Brooks-Corey 모델을 이용한 공극 크기별 분포곡선의 모사에서는 parameter b가 공극분포곡선의 형태에 영향을 주었으며, ${\alpha}_{BC}$는 공극분포곡선의 민감도에 영향을 주었다. 또 van Genuchten 모델을 이용한 공극 크기별 분포곡선의 모사에서는 ${\alpha}_{VG}$가 scaling factor의 역할을 하였으며, parameter m은 공극분포곡선의 형태에 영향을 주었다. 따라서 경계조건 안에서 불포화 수리전도도 자료로부터 공극의 크기별 분포 모사가 가능하였으며, 토양 parameter들이 토성, 입자분포 등의 물리적 특성을 잘 반영하는 경우 이론적으로 현장 토양의 공극 크기별 분포의 추정이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

In aquifers connected hydraulically, the levels of groundwater respond to stream stages. Analytical solutions by Laplace transform and convolution integral are used to get some response patterns about hydrogeoiogic parameter such as hydraulic conductivity, specific storage in confined aquifer. This method has the advantage to do hydrogeologic parameter estimations only with stream stage changes.

자연사면을 대상으로 강우에 따른 침투해석 및 사면안정해석을 통하여 사면토층의 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC) 맞춤계수에 따른 안정성의 영향을 평가하였다. 연구 대상사면의 토질시료를 채취하여 토층의 물리적, 역학적 및 불포화 특성을 실험하였다. 현장조건의 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)의 맞춤계수 α 및 n을 변화시켜 침투해석을 통한 포화심도를 산정하였으며, 이를 고려하여 한계평형해석기법을 이용한 사면안정해석을 수행하였다. 강우에 의한 침투해석 결과에 따르면 맞춤계수 α가 감소함에 따라 토층 내 포화심도가 급격하게 증가하며, 전체 토층에 대한 포화시간도 짧아지는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 포화심도를 고려한 사면안정해석결과에 의하면 맞춤계수 α가 감소함에 따라 사면안전율은 급격하게 감소하지만, 맞춤계수 n을 증가시키더라도 사면안전율의 변화는 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 강우침투로 인한 포화심도와 이를 고려한 사면안정성은 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)의 맞춤계수 α에 크게 영향을 받으며, 맞춤계수 n의 영향은 상대적으로 매우 작음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, the finite element method is applied to investigate the effect of the lateral boundary in homogenous soil on the seismic response of a superstructure. Some influencing factors are presented and discussed, and several parameters are identified to be important for conducting soil-structure interaction experiments on shaking tables. Numerical results show that the cross-section width L, thickness H, wave propagation velocity and lateral boundaries of soil layer have certain influences on the computational accuracy. The dimensionless parameter L/H is the most significant one among the influencing factors. In other words, a greater depth of soil layer near the foundation should be considered in shaking table tests as the thickness of the soil layer increases, which can be regarded as a linear relationship approximately. It is also found that the wave propagation velocity in soil layer affects the numerical accuracy and it is suggested to consider a greater depth of the soil layer as the wave propagation velocity increases. A numerical study on a soil-structure experimental model with a rubber ring surrounding the soil on a shaking table is also conducted. It is found the rubber ring has great effect on the soil-structure interaction experiments on shaking table. The experimental precision can be improved by reasonably choosing the elastic parameter and width of the rubber ring.

The purpose of this paper was to confirm the application of the equation of the soil-water characteristic curve on an unsaturated soil. To this ends, a series of suction test was conducted on the selected 4 kinds of soil which is located in Korea, using the modified pressure extractor apparatus. And it was carried out to analyze the experimental parameters which can describe the soil-water characteristics, were determined by using the data obtained from the experiment. From the results, it was found that the matric suction was varied according to the grain size distribution, amount of fine grain particle and void ratio. Also it was found that the residual volumetric water content was decreased with the void ratio, but the index related air entry value, the soil parameter related water content and the parameter with residual water content were increased with the void ratio. And the application of equation of the soil-water characteristic curve was confirmed for the various conditions and the various state by the comparison between the volumetric water content measured by the experiment and the predicted values.

흙 포장의 장점에도 불구하고 흙 자체의 성질을 개선하기 위한 고화재로 시멘트가 주로 사용되고 있는 점 등이 개선되지 않아 활발한 사용에 저해요인으로 지적되어 왔다. 최근 중금속 확산 등을 막고 소정의 강도를 확보할 수 있는 친환경 고화재가 개발되어 실제 적용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 공법은 현장에서의 경험 등에 의해 배합을 결정하는 것이 현재까지의 상황이며, 좀 더 체계적인 강도 파악에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 혼합토에 대한 삼축압축시험을 혼합토의 혼합비율과 전단강도 특성의 상관성을 분석하기 위하여 실시하였다. 혼합토에 대한 삼축압축시험 결과로부터 준설점토와 모래, 그리고 화강풍화토와 유기질토의 네 가지의 흙 종류별로 점착력과 내부마찰각의 변화를 양생 기간에 따라 관찰하였다. 4가지의 연구 대상 지반 중 준설점토와 화강풍화토의 점착력은 양생 기간이 늘어날수록 증가하는 추세를 뚜렷하게 보였다. 반면, 준설 모래와 유기질토는 양생 기간에 따른 증가가 적게 나타났으며, 점착력도 작았다. 내부마찰각의 경우에는 모든 원지반 재료에서 양생일수와 고화재의 종류에 상관없이 일정한 경향을 나타냈다.

To investigate the critical buckling load and post-buckling behavior of an axially loaded pile entirely embedded in soil, the non-linear large deflection differential equation for a pinned pile, based on the Winkler-model and the discretionary distribution function of the foundation coefficient along pile shaft, was established by energy method. Assuming that the deflection function was a power series of some perturbation parameter according to the boundary condition and load in the pile, the non-linear large deflection differential equation was transformed to a series of linear differential equations by using perturbation approach. By taking the perturbation parameter at middle deflection, the higher-order asymptotic solution of load-deflection was then found. Effect of ratios of soil depth to pile length, and ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness on the critical buckling load and performance of piles (entirely embedded and partially embedded) after flexural buckling were analyzed. Results show that the buckling load capacity increases as the ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness increasing. The pile performance will be more stable when ratios of soil depth to pile length, and soil stiffness to pile stiffness decrease.

The undrained shear strength of soil is considered one of the engineering parameters of utmost significance in geotechnical design methods. In-situ experiments like cone penetration tests (CPT) have been used in the last several years to estimate the undrained shear strength depending on the characteristics of the soil. Nevertheless, the majority of these techniques rely on correlation presumptions, which may lead to uneven accuracy. This research's general aim is to extend a new united soft computing model, which is a combination of random forest (RF) with grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) to the pile set-up parameters' better approximation from CPT, based on two different types of data as inputs. Data type 1 contains pile parameters, and data type 2 consists of soil properties. The contribution of this article is that hybrid GOA - RF for the first time, was suggested to forecast the pile set-up parameter from CPT. In order to do this, CPT data and related bore log data were gathered from 70 various locations across Louisiana. With an R² greater than 0.9098, which denotes the permissible relationship between measured and anticipated values, the results demonstrated that both models perform well in forecasting the set-up parameter. It is comprehensible that, in the training and testing step, the model with data type 2 has finer capability than the model using data type 1, with R² and RMSE are 0.9272 and 0.0305 for the training step and 0.9182 and 0.0415 for the testing step. All in all, the models' results depict that the A parameter could be forecasted with adequate precision from the CPT data with the usage of hybrid GOA - RF models. However, the RF model with soil features as input parameters results in a finer commentary of pile set-up parameters.

Optimal range of soil physical quality to enhance crop productivity or to improve environmental health is still in dispute for the upland soil. We hypothesized that the optimal range might be established by comparing soil physical parameters and their interactions inhibiting crop growth. The parameter identifying optimal range covered favorable conditions of aeration, permeability and root extension. To establish soil physical standard two experiments were conducted as follows; 1) investigating interactions of bulk density and aeration porosity in the laboratory test and 2) determining effects of soil compaction and deep & conventional tillage on physical properties and crop growth in the field test. The crops were Perilla frutescens, Zea mays L., Solanum tuberosum L. and Secale cereael. The saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk density from the root depth, root growth and stem length were obtained. Higher bulk density showed lower aeration porosity and hydraulic conductivity, and finer texture had lower threshold bulk density at 10% aeration bulk density. Reduced crop growth by subsoil compaction was higher in silt clay loam compared to other textures. Loam soil had better physical improvement in deep rotary tillage plot. Combined with results of the present studies, the soil physical quality was possibly assessed by bulk density index. Threshold subsoil bulk density as the upper value were $1.55Mg\;m^{-3}$ in sandy loam, $1.50Mg\;m^{-3}$ in loam and $1.45Mg\;m^{-3}$ in silty clay loam for optimal soil physical quality in upland.
