In this study, vibration characteristics of a gravity-based caisson-foundation breakwater system are investigated for ambient and geometric parameters such as various waves, sea levels, and foundation conditions. To achieve the objective, following approaches are implemented. Firstly, operational modal analysis methods are selected to identify vibration modes from output-only dynamic responses. Secondly, a finite element model of an existing caisson-foundation breakwater system is established by using a structural analysis program, ANSYS. Thirdly, forced vibration analyses are performed on the caisson-foundation system for two types of external forces such as controlled impacts and wave-induced dynamic pressures. For the ideal impact, the wave force is converted to a triangular impulse function. For the wave flow, the wave pressure acting on the system is obtained from wave field analysis. Fourthly, vibration modes of the caisson-foundation system are identified from the forced vibration responses by combined use of the operational modal analysis methods. Finally, vibration characteristics of the caisson-foundation system are investigated under various waves, sea levels, and foundations. Relative effects of foundation conditions on vibration characteristics are distinguished from that induced by waves and sea levels.

This paper presents an experimental modal analysis of a caisson-type breakwater to produce basic information for the structural health assessment of a caisson structure. To achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. First, modal analysis methods are selected to examine the modal characteristics of a caisson structure. Second, experimental modal analyses are performed using finite element analyses and lab-scale model tests. Third, damage scenarios that include several damage levels in a foundation-structure interface are designed. Finally, the effects of damage on the modal characteristics are analyzed for the purpose of utilizing them for damage identification.

Centrifuge modeling and numerical analysis on works of breakwater construction were performed to investigate the behavior of caisson type of breakwater and foundation treated with the method of DCM (Deep Cement Mixing) under the condition of wave action in field. In centrifuge modeling, construction sequence of breakwater caisson such as preparation of ground, treatment of DCM, installation of rubble mound, placement of breakwater caisson and lateral loading on the breakwater due to wave action were reconstructed. Lateral movement of model breakwater and ground reaction in the vertical direction were monitored during test. Stress concentration ratio between the untreated ground and the treated ground with DCM was evaluated from measurement of vertical stresses on each ground. Numerical analysis with the software of PLAXIS was carried to compare with Results of centrifuge model test. It was found that stability of model breakwater was maintained during stage of construction and the compared results about stress concentration ratio were in relatively good agreements.

In offshore area, newly deposited Quaternary loose seabed soils are widely distributed. There are a great number of offshore structures has been built on them in the past, or will be built on them in the future due to the fact that there would be no very dense seabed soil foundation could be chosen at planed sites sometimes. However, loosely deposited seabed foundation would bring great risk to the service ability of offshore structures after construction. Currently, the understanding on wave-induced liquefaction mechanism in loose seabed foundation has been greatly improved; however, the recognition on the consolidation characteristics and settlement estimation of loose seabed foundation under offshore structures is still limited. In this study, taking a semi-coupled numerical model FSSI-CAS 2D as the tool, the consolidation and settlement of loosely deposited sandy seabed foundation under an offshore breakwater is investigated. The advanced soil constitutive model Pastor-Zienkiewics Mark III (PZIII) is used to describe the quasi-static behavior of loose sandy seabed soil. The computational results show that PZIII model is capable of being used for settlement estimation problem of loosely deposited sandy seabed foundation. For loose sandy seabed foundation, elastic deformation is the dominant component in consolidation process. It is suggested that general elastic model is acceptable for subsidence estimation of offshore structures on loose seabed foundation; however, Young's modulus E must be dependent on the confining effective stress, rather than a constant in computation.

Recently, various-shaped coastal structures have been studied and developed. Among them, the submerged breakwater became generally known as a more effective structure than other structures, bemuse it not only serves its original function, but also has the ability to preserve the coastal environment. Most previous investigations have been focused on the wave deformation and energy dissipation due to submerged breakwater, but less interest was given to their internal properties and dynamic behavior of the seabed foundation under wave loadings. In this study, a direct numerical simulation (DNS) is newly proposed to study the dynamic interaction between a permeable submerged breakwater aver a sand seabed and nonlinear waves, including wave breaking. The accuracy of the model is checked by comparing the numerical solution with the existing experimental data related to wave $\cdot$ permeable submerged breakwater $\cdot$ seabed interaction, and showed fairly nice agreement between them. From the numerical results, based on the newly proposed numerical model, the properties of the wave-induced pore water pressure and the flow in the seabed foundation are studied. In relation to their internal properties, the stability oj the permeable submerged breakwater is discussed.

The paper presents a case study addressing the design and construction aspects for DCM(Deep Cement Mixing) method employed as the foundation of a caisson type breakwater with heavy weight(10,700 ton/EA) and a high design wave height($H_{1/3}$=8.7m). The DCM was designed for the project(Ulsan New Port North Breakwater Phase 1) by optimizing the pattern of DCM columns with a combination of short and long columns (i.e., block type(upper 3m)+wall type(lower)) and considering overlapped section between columns as a critical section against shear force where the coefficient of effective width of treated column($\alpha$) was estimated with caution. It was shown that the value can be 0.9 under the condition with the overlapped width of 30cm. In addition to that, a field trial test was performed after improving conventional DCM equipment (e.g., mixing blades, cement paste supplying pipes, multi auger motor, etc.) to establish a standardized DCM construction cycle (withdrawal rate of mixing blades) which can provide the prescribed strength. The result of the field strength test for cored DCM specimens shows that the averaged strength is larger than the target strength and the distribution of the strength(with a defect rate of 7%) also satisfies with the quality control normal distribution curve which allows defect rate of 15.9%.

본 연구에서는 철재형 이안제를 설계하기 위한 하부기초의 설계과정을 제시하고, 시험시공 현장에 대한 실시설계를 실시하였다. 본 구조물이 시험시공될 예정지인 경상북도 울진군 오산항 인근 해역에 대한 지반조사를 실시하였다. 대상기초는 압축력이 아닌 파력에 의한 수평력과 인발력에 의존한다. 상부 구조물이 해저면에서 약 9.0 m 돌출되어 있으므로 말뚝두부에 파력에 의한 수평하중이 재하되며 휨강성에 대한 저항력이 중요하다. 검토 결과 철재형 이안제의 기초로 강관말뚝(${\varphi}711$-12t)으로 결정하였다. 외부하중에 대한 말뚝기초의 안정성을 평가한 결과, 연직지지력, 인발저항력 및 수평저항력은 기준 안전율보다 크게 나타났다. 상용하중 작용시 발생되는 기초의 변위는 허용량 이내인 것으로 평가되었다. 지반반력법을 통하여 지층의 횡방향 및 축방향 지반반력과 변위관계를 산정할 수 있었다. 이를 토대로 상부구조의 해석을 수행하고 결과를 정량적으로 비교하였다.

The breakwater of surface-piercing type has been developed mainly for application within bays or estuaries that are semi-protected from the direct impact of targe waves. Most of bays have soft foundation which is too weak to bear the weight of gravity type breakwater. (omitted)

최근 국내에 리히터 규모 5.0 이상의 지진의 빈도수가 늘어남에 따라 지진피해가 늘어나면서 내진설계에 대한 많은 연구와 관심이 높아져 가고 있는 실정이다. 최근 발생한 포항지진에 의해 많은 피해가 발생하였고, 항만시설물 또한 피해가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 항만구조물 중 외곽시설인 직립식 방파제의 지진 시 발생하는 동적 거동을 원심모형실험을 통해 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 상사법칙을 적용한 직립식 방파제 모형에 포항지진파, 인공지진파 I, II의 총 세 가지 지진파를 적용하고, 지반에 대하여 DCM보강, 사석치환의 두 가지 방식의 보강을 한 경우를 고려하여 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 획득한 지진 시 직립식 방파제의 동적 거동에 대하여 가속도, 수평·수직 변위를 분석하여 내진안정성을 검토하였다. 검토 결과 방파제 기초지반이 DCM보강 및 사석치환을 통해 지지력 및 강성이 높아짐에 따라 가속도 증폭이 억제되는 경향을 나타내었다.
