There have been often cases of collapse for geogrid reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall. Hence, social interest in the reinforcement and restoration of the collapsed GRS wall is increasing day by day. However, there are only few researches. For this reason, a series of numerical analyses using the Plaxis 2D program was conducted in this study to analyze the suitable reinforcement methods that can be applied on the existing damaged GRS wall caused by overturning of the modular blocks facing and the surface settlement at the backfill as the results from the design failure. The restoration plan used in this study is composed of two cases: (Case 1) soil nailing reinforcement and reinforced concrete (RC) wall facing construction on the existing damaged GRS wall; and (Case 2) removal of the entire damaged GRS wall and then reconstruction. The results on the internal stability of the GRS wall show that Case 1 obtained a greater safety factor than Case 2 for tensile force while Case 2 had a greater safety factor than Case 1 for pullout failures. Case 1 was found to be more stable than Case 2 in terms of the global slope safety by shear strength reduction method and the external deformation behavior by numerical analysis. In this study, the existing damaged GRS wall which was reinforced using Case 1 method shows more stable external behavior.

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation on the effect of degree of saturation of soil on the pullout behavior of a geogrid. Different test variables were taken into account while performing the experiment including the soil physical conditions based on water content and external loading applied. The soil used was locally available weathered granite soil. The tests included variations in saturation of about 90%, 80%, 70% and 45% (optimum moisture content). The pullout tests were performed according to ASTM standard D 6706-01. The results indicate that increasing the degree of saturation in the soil decreases the pull-out capacity, which in turn decreases the interface friction angle and interaction coefficient. The decrease in the pullout interface coefficient was observed to be around 12.50% to 33.33% depending on the normal load and degree of saturation of the soil. The test results demonstrated the detrimental effect of increasing the degree of saturation within the reinforce soil on the pullout behavior of reinforcement, thus on the internal stability. The practical inferences of the outcomes are analyzed in detail.

Design techniques for the deep mixing method, one of the soft ground improvement methods, include two ways to interpret the ground as composite ground and pile ground. However, since comparative studies on these two approaches are insufficient, it is difficult to clearly define the analysis criteria in the design. In this study, two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses have been performed with different conditions. The three conditions, the embankment height, depth of soft ground, and replacement ratio of reinforcement zones were varied and the analysis was performed on the basis of the assumption of composite ground and pile ground for each condition. As a result, the minimum depth of improvement in the twodimensional analysis was deeper by 6.85∼9.08% than in the three-dimensional analysis. The pile ground analysis showed that the depth of improvement was deeper by 12.22∼ 14.45% than the composite ground analysis. Based on these results, it is concluded that for more accurate design, three-dimensional analysis should be performed rather than two-dimensional analysis. also, it is judged that necessary to analyze the ground as composite ground for economical design, and as the pile ground analysis for stable design.

In this paper development artificial neural networks (ANN) for preliminary design and prediction of urban tunnelling and deep excavation-induced ground settlement was presented. In order to form training and validation data sets for the ANN development, field design and measured data were collected for various tunnelling and deep-excavation sites. The field data were then used as a database for the ANN training. The developed ANN was validated against a testing set and the unused field data in terms of statistical parameters such as R, RMSE, and MAE. The practical use of ANN was demonstrated by applying the developed ANN to hypothetical conditions. It was shown that the developed ANN can be effectively used as a tool for preliminary excavation design and ground settlement prediction for urban excavation problems.

The DMM (Deep mixing method) is a construction method in which an improved pile is installed in the soft ground by excavation ground using an auger and then mixing ground stabilizer with soil. Improved pile installed in the soft ground by the DMM may have different compressive strength depending on the properties and characteristics of the soil. In the previous study, laboratory tests were performed on the ground stabilizer for the DMM developed by using the ash of the circulating fluidized bed boiler as a stimulator for alkali activation of the blast furnace slag. And the test results were analyzed to derive the correlation between the unit weight of binder (γB) and the uniaxial compressive strength (qu). In this study, comparative reviews were conducted on the correlations derived from the same laboratory tests on soil material collected from the Saemangeum area and the stability of the site was evaluated by analyzing the test results performed at the site. As a result, the clay collected from the Saemangeum area satisfies the correlation between the unit weight of binder (γB) and the uniaxial compressive strength (qu) derived from the previous study. And the result of the test at the field showed a higher uniaxial compressive strength than the standard strength at the field, indicating excellent stability.

In Korea, small reservoirs have been constructed for the supply of agricultural water, but most of them have been over 50 years from the year of construction. Aging agricultural reservoirs are being investigated for serious defects such as leaks and movements in slope, which are very vulnerable to safety. Accordingly, grouting methods are used to reinforce aging agricultural reservoirs in Korea. However, cement used as a grouting injection material consumes natural resources and generates a large amount of greenhouse gases during production. In addition, there is a problem that sufficient reinforcement is not made due to various factors such as the injection amount, the compounding ratio, the injection pressure, and etc. Therefore, due to these problems, the development of new materials and methods that can replace the grouting method and cement is required. In order to solve these problems, this study conducted an laboratory test on the surface stabilizer used to secure the stability of road and rail slopes. In addition, the program was analyzed and the reinforcing effect was examined when the surface stabilizer was used as reinforcement material for aging agricultural reservoir. As a result of the laboratory test, when the surface stabilizer is mixed, the increase of cohesion is possible up to 9% and there is no change in the friction angle. The results of the program analysis showed that the 1.0m reinforcement of slopes increased the factor of safety by 1.4 times, making it possible to reinforce the aging agricultural reservoir using surface stabilizers. And as a reinforcement method, it was analyzed that it is most appropriate to reinforce the slope and the bottom of slope simultaneously.

This study describes the evaluation results of pile length ratio and N value on the bearing capacity of drilled shafts in cohesionless soil. The bearing capacity ratio in Meyerhof’s formula is affected only by the length ratio, and it is equally evaluated a sharing ratio of the end bearing capacity and the skin friction. NAVFAC’s formula shows that the pile length influences both end bearing capacity and the skin friction, but pile length is also found to be a more influence factor on the end bearing capacity. Especially, it was found that the effect of pile length factor was larger than the effect of N value and pile diameter. FHWA’s formula was evaluated to reflect the influence factor by skin friction more positively than other formulas at calculation the bearing capacity. It was also confirmed that the influence of the skin friction is larger when the ultimate bearing capacity is evaluated.

To improvement the swelling characteristics of the existing cutoff wall against the moisture, the permeability of the sand, calcium bentonite and solidifier mixture according to the contact with trichloroethylene (TCE) was evaluated. Characteristics analysis and the permeability test of the research materials were performed. The permeability was decreased as the mixing ratio of the calcium bentonite was increased and it was increased as the mixing ratio of the solidifier was increased. In conclusion, when mixing 15% of calcium bentonite and more than 30% of solidifier, the permeability coefficient in the underground water movement was analyzed as more than α × 10 cm/sec showing that it does not block the underground water movement. In addition, as the permeability coefficient of mixtures after TCE reaction was analyzed as less than α × 10 cm/sec, it satisfied the condition of blocking layer (less than 1.0 × 10 cm/sec). Therefore, the calcium bentonite and solidifier can be utilized as barrier that showing the characteristic of percolation ability conversion in soil and underground water contaminated with TCE.

The grouting method is utilized to reinforce and waterproof poor grounds, enhance the bearing capacity of geo-structures damaged from differential settlement. The purpose of this research is to improve the compressive strength and degree of grout using reinforcing fibers and blast furnace slag powder. In this regard, this study has conducted uniaxial compression tests for the specimens with high ratios (higher than 50%) of blast furnace slag powder. The carbon fiber content was increased by 0, 0.5, and 1.0% to coMpare its compressive strength with that of aramid fiber. The uniaxial compressive strength increased with the increase of fiber content and the bridging activity by fiber in cement tended to increase uniaxial compressive strength. Based on the results, it was confirmed that the aramid fiber has a gel time of 14 seconds and the uniaxial compressive strength is more than 3 Mpa coMpared to carbon fiber.
