Under foundation shock mats have been used in the current practice in order to reduce/damp vibrations received by buildings through the surrounding environment. Although some investigations have been made on under foundation shock mats performance, their effectiveness in the reduction of railway induced-vibrations has not been fully studied, particularly with the consideration of underneath soil media. In this regard, this research is aimed at investigating performance of shock mat used beneath building foundation for reduction of railway induced-vibrations, taking into account soil-structure interaction. For this purpose, a 2D finite/infinite element model of a building and its surrounding soil media was developed. It includes an elastic soil media, a railway embankment, a shock mat, and the building. The model results were validated using an analytical solution reported in the literature. The performance of shock mats was examined by an extensive parametric analysis on the soil type, bedding modulus of shock mat and dominant excitation frequency. The results obtained indicated that although the shock mat can substantially reduce the building vibrations, its performance is significantly influenced by its underneath soil media. The softer the soil, the lower the shock mat efficiency. Also, as the train excitation frequency increases, a better performance of shock-mats is observed. A simplified model/method was developed for prediction of shock mat effectiveness in reduction of railway-induced vibrations, making use of the results obtained.

An Ampacity of a power cable depends on the soil thermal property, especially the soil thermal resistivity. Also, The soil thermal resistivity depends on the soil moisture contents in soil surrounding the power cable. This paper propose the prediction algorithm of the soil moisture contents using the Thornthwaite theory.

In order to elucidate the mechanism of red-colored phenomena(RCP) in ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), distribution of inorganic elements of ginseng root and its surrounding soil, and microflora in the soil were investigated. Red brown colored-substances were accumulated in the cell wall of epidermis at early stage of red-colored ginseng (RCG). Cell wall of the late stage of RCG was disordered and microorganisms were shown in the disordered cell wall. Al, Si and Fe contents among inorpanic elements in the epidermis of RCG were higher at two or three times than that of healthy ginseng. On the other hand, K content was higher at three times in healthy ginseng than that of RCG. Especially, Fe content was higher at three times in lateral roots of RCG than that of healthy ginseng. Total 21 strains of microorganisms were isolated on the 523 medium from surface soil, surrounding soil of both healthy and RCG, and RCG. Six strains of microorganisms among them were resistant to 2 mM Fe. Two species in Bacillus app. and Lactobacillus app. , and one species in Micrococcus sp. and Npisseria sp. respectively were identified. It seemed that RCP was closely related with the distribution and uptake of inorganic elements, was also correlated Fe-independent metabolism of microorganisms.

There are numerous factors that affect stress distribution in a buried pipe, such as the shape, size, and stiffness of the pipe, its burial depth, and the stiffness of the surrounding soil. In addition, the pipe can benefit from the soil arching effect to some extent, through which the overburden and surcharge pressure at the crown can be carried by the adjacent soil. As a result, the buried pipe needs to support only a portion of the load that is not transferred to the adjacent soil. This paper presents numerical efforts to investigate the stress distribution in the buried concrete pipe under various environmental conditions. To that end, a nonlinear elasto-plastic model for backfill materials was implemented into finite element software by a user-defined subroutine (user material, or UMAT) to more precisely analyze the soil behavior surrounding a buried concrete pipe subjected to surface loading. In addition, three different backfill materials with a native soil were selected to examine the material-specific stress distribution in pipe. The environmental conditions considering in this study the loading effect and void effects were investigated using finite element method. The simulation results provide information on how the pressures are redistributed, and how the buried concrete pipe behaves under various environmental conditions.

Consolidation of the ground surrounding the sand piles is delayed by well resistance and smear effect. This study is executed to understand the factors that affect the characteristics of consolidation. This was accomplished by utilizing the estimated and measured values of the soil properties through the monitoring of the ground surrounding the sand piles. When it is assumed that the horizontal coefficient is equal to the vertical coefficient of consolidation, the estimated values is exceedingly similar to the measured values. The properties of the initially disturbed soil by the sand pile installation seemed to improve through the process of consolidation with the passage of time. From the results of the analysis of the settlement measurement, the measured values occurred about 60～90% of the predicted values. Considering the initial radical compression deformation, according to the theory of cavity expansion, the difference between the two appears to be in good agreement. In this study, to understand the behavioral characteristics of the ground surrounding the sand piles requires estimation through considering the initial radial compression as well as smear effect of the soil disturbance and well resistance.

In this study, to evaluate the collision behaviors of the navigating vessel and the dolphin protective system protecting the substructures of bridges, the numerical simulation was performed. The analysis model of vessel bow that the plastic deformations are concentrated was composed by shell elements, and the main body of vessel was modeled by beam elements to represent the mass distribution and the change of potential energy. The material model reflecting the confining condition was used for the modeling of the filling soil of dolphin system. The surrounding soil of the dolphin system was modeled as nonlinear springs. As results, it is verified that the dolphin system can adequately dissipate the kinematic energy of the collision vessel. The surrounding soil of the dolphin system is able to resist the collision force of the vessel. And the major energy dissipation mechanism of collision energy is the plastic deformation of the vessel bow and the dolphin system.

Since experimental evaluation of underground RC structures considering interaction with surrounding soil medium is quite difficult to be simulated, the evaluation for the underground RC structures using an analytical method can be applied very usefully. For underground structures interacted with surrounding soils, it is important to consider path-dependent RC constitutive model, soil constitutive model, and interface model between structure and soil, simultaneously. In this paper, an elastoplastic interface model which consider thickness of interface is proposed and applied for the analysis considering the interaction. Failure mechanism of underground RC box of two story and two box subway station under seismic action is obtained and the effects of ductility of intermediate column to entire underground RC system are investigated through analysis.

말뚝두부에 무시할 수 없을 정도의 큰 횡력이 작용할 때 이에 대한 합리적인 해석이 있어야 한다. 이같은 해석에 있어서는, 말뚝과 말뚝 주위 지반과의 복잡한 상호작용 때문에 어려움이 많다. 본 연구의 목적은 말뚝 주위 지반을 탄소성체로 가정하고, 말뚝과 지반사이 경계요소를 가정하여 유한요소법에 의해 삼차원 해석 프로그램을 개발하는데 있다. 본 연구의 결과, 지반을 탄소성체로 가정한 해석결과가 현장측정치와 잘 일치함과, 말뚝과 주위지반의 불연속성을 환경요소로 극복할 수 있음과 경계요소의 두께 변화가 해석결과에 큰 영향을 주지 않으나, 되도록 얇게 함이 정도 높은 결과를 얻음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 입력가속도의 한계 범위를 흙의 상대밀도, 지하수위, 지반 조건을 고려하여 시간이력해석과 응답스펙트럼해석으로 분석하였다. 시간이력해석은 FLAC3D로 응답스펙트럼해석은 FB-Multipier를 이용하여 여러 지반 조건에 대한 수치해석을 실시하였다. 말뚝 주변 지반은 탄소성 물질로 가정하였다. FLAC3D 해석의 주변 지반은 Mohr-Coulomb과 Finn 모델로 설정하였고, FB-Multiplier 해석은 비선형 p-y 곡선을 이용하여 해석하였다. 비선형 지반 거동을 갖는 가속도의 한계범위는 주변 지반의 상대밀도에 비례함을 보였다. 해석 결과 SP soil이 SM soil보다 지반의 가속도의 한계범위가 훨씬 크고 지하수위는 지반조건에 관계없이 입력가속도의 한계범위를 감소시키는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 가속도의 한계 범위는 주로 전단탄성계수의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

플랜트 하부 강파일 기초 주변 토양의 부식성을 평가하기 위해서 현장조사, 현장 보링작업을 통한 시료 채취 및 실험실 분석을 거친 결과를 검토하였다. 토양 분석 결과 강관파일이 타설된 토양은 여러 개의 특성이 다른 토양층으로 구성되어 있었으며, 각 지층의 화학적, 물리적 성질이 다르므로 강관파일의 타설깊이에 따른 부식성의 차이가 발생할 것을 예상할 수 있었다. 분석 결과를 토대로 정성적인 부식성 평가, 평균부식속도 및 최대부식속도를 예측한 결과, 일부 지층에서는 일반적으로 강관파일 설계시 적용되는 부식속도인 0.01-0.02mm/y 이상의 평균부식속도를 보이고 있었다 (0.33mm/y).
