Professor Sung-Ryul Kim's research lab specializes in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, with a focus on the behavior of deep foundations, soil-structure interaction, and ground improvement techniques under dynamic and undrained conditions. The lab conducts advanced numerical simulations, centrifuge modeling, and full-scale field instrumentation to investigate pile drivability, liquefaction mitigation, and the performance of innovative ground improvement systems such as aggregate piers and bucket foundations. Research also extends to advanced manufacturing processes in composite materials, particularly in high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) for carbon fiber-reinforced plastics.

Abstract A series of three-dimensional finite element analyses was conducted to investigate the effects of the embedment depth, the non-homogeneity of clay, and combined loads on the undrained bearing capacities of bucket foundations. The undrained shear strength and Young's modulus of clay were assumed to vary linearly with depth. Meanwhile, the stress-strain response of clay was simulated using the Tresca criterion. The numerical modeling adopted in this study was verified by comparing the cal
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) is a material developed for its high strength and light weight in a broad variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, and leisure. Due to the rapid molding cycle time, high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) processes are prone to molding defects and susceptible to various process variables such as the resin injection rate, pressure and temperature in the mold, vacuum, end-gap, pressing force, and binder. In recent years, process monitorin
Foundation conditions are studied for a series of apartment buildings in a shore area reclaimed from the Nakdong River estuary delta west of Busan, South Korea, in full-scale field tests on two 600 mm, post-driving grouted, concrete cylinder piles instrumented with strain gages, driven through compressible layers and a short distance into underlying dense sand at depths of 56 m (Shinho) and 35 m (Myeongji). One test pile was provided with an O-cell so that after an initial O-cell test, a subsequ
