Recently the large scale civil engineering projects are being implemented by reclaiming the sea or utilizing seashore and river embankment areas. The reclaimed land and utilized seashore are mostly soft ground that doesn't have sufficient bearing capacity. This soft ground consists of fine-grained soil such as clayey and silty soils or large void soil like peat or loose sand. It has high ground water table and it may cause the failure and crock of building foundation by uplift pressure and ground water leakage. In this study, the permittivity and the transmissivity were evaluated with the applied normal pressure in the laboratory. The laboratory model tests were conducted by utilizing geocomposite drainage system for draining the water out to release the uplift pressure. The soil used in the laboratory drainage test was dredged soil from the reclaimed land where uplift pressure problems can arise in soil condition. Geocomposite drainage system was installed at the bottom of apparatus and dredged soil was layered with compaction. Subsequently the water pressure was supplied from the top of specimen and the quantities of drainage and the pore water pressure were measured at each step water pressure. The results of laboratory measurements were compared with theoretical values. For the evaluation of propriety of laboratory drainage test, 2-D finite elements analysis that can analyze the distribution and the transferring of pore water pressure was conducted and compared with laboratory test results.

Dissolution of some of geo-materials may yield the loss of the soil strength and the settlement of earth structures. The goal of this study is to monitor the several physical behaviors of soluble mixtures during dissolution. Sand-salt mixtures are used to monitor the meso to macro response including the settlements and shear waves. The mixtures of photoelastic and ice disks are used to monitor micro to meso behavior of soluble mixture including the void ratio, force chain, coordination number and horizontal force changes. In the sand-salt mixtures, shear waves are measured by using bender elements in conventional oedometer cells. In the photoelastic disk - ice disk mixtures, micro to meso response are measured by digital images and load cells. The shear wave velocity decreases at the initial stage of the dissolution, and then increases and approaches to asymptotic value. The larger dissoluble particle and the more random packing produces the severe horizontal fore change. After dissolution, the void increases and the coordination number decreases. This study demonstrates that the particle level behavior such as the changes of the force chain, void ratio, and coordination number affects the global behavior such as the change of the shear wave velocity and horizontal force of the system.

Soil undergoes numerous repetitive loads, making it crucial to estimate changes in effective horizontal stress for structural stability. This study investigates the variations in the coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K_o), void ratio, and shear wave velocity of granular materials during repetitive loading. Semi-cyclic compaction tests were performed under different initial stress-to-amplitude ratios throughout the loading history. The results indicate that the void ratio of all specimens decreases during cyclic compaction subjected to varying stress amplitude ratios, eventually stabilizing at a terminal void ratio-representing a stable deformation state. Variations in K_o under repetitive loading depend on the stress amplitude ratio and relative density, influenced by soil fabric and particle-scale mechanisms. K_o can be predicted through changes in shear wave velocity over the entire stress history as the number of cycles approaches infinity. This study presents new solutions for determining the resilient modulus in road pavement design and offers methods to estimate terminal settlement of foundation structures subjected to repetitive loading.

In this paper a useful method on evaluating the joint stiffness of a bolted member was introduced using optimization technique on the basis of Finite Element Method. A finite element model having one directional gap element at boundary area was introduced to compensate the prying force in jointed members which might be caused by geometrical configuration of members. Results showed a good agreement with classical method in certain range and will be available to define the appropriate design margin of pre-load design.

A series of field tests were performed to suggest a rational method for the stability evaluation of soft clay. The behavior of settlement-displacement obtained by field monitoring system was used to compare and analyze with various stability evaluation methods, and to investigate the applicability of the methods for stability evaluation of soft clay. The limit equilibrium method, numerical analysis and field monitoring methods were used to analyze the stability evaluation. The horizontal displacement was abruptly increased when physicla properties of soft clay reached its maximum values and therefore, the values of these properties could be used to the fundamental data for stability evaluation. The evaluation of the stability of clay embankment was suggested to use inclination of ccrve rather than critical line, and the minimum satey factor of 1.2 or larger for natural clay was recommeded . Therefore, the evaluation of short term stability of soft clay could be effectively peformed with the hypefrbolic model and the field monitored data.

This study was performed to estimate the degree of consolidation using excess pore water pressure in the very soft ground. The final settlement prediction methods by Hyperbolic, Asaoka and Curve fitting methods from the measured settlement data were used to compare with the degree of consolidation estimated by excess pore water pressure. The dissipated excess pore water pressure during embankment construction and the peak excess pore water pressure on the completed embankment were used for the estimation of the degree of consolidation. After completion of embankment, it was concluded that the degree of consolidation estimated from dissipated excess pore water pressure was more reliable than that from the peak excess pore water pressure. And, the degree of consolidation estimated from the surface settlement was nearly the same as settlement of each layer. The degree of consolidation estimated from dissipated excess pore water pressure was a little larger than that from settlement.

연료 분사펌프는 600bar 이상의 고압 연료를 분사밸브를 통하여 디젤기관의 연소실에 연속적으로 공급하는 장치이며, PLUNGER&BARREL 은 분사펌프의 핵심 부품으로 작동하고 고온 고압의 환경에서 $4{\mu}m$ 미만의 초정밀 간극을 유지해야 한다. 이러한 정밀한 가공 상태를 유지하기 위해선 내마모성 및 내열성에 적합한 재료와 열처리가 필수 요소이다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 방식은 DIAMOND STONE 에 의한 HORNIG 가공을 주로 사용하기 있다. 하지만, 연삭 가공과는 달리 별도의 치수 보정 장치가 없는 관계로, STONE 마모와 그에 따르는 마모량 공차에 의한 정밀 치수 확보의 어려움으로 인해, 고비용 저효율의 약점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 기존의 HORNING STONE 방식을 대체한 PIN 방식의 HORNING MACHINE 개발을 목표로 한다.

The floating ring seal is used in an oxidizer and a fuel pump of the turbo pump unit in the liquid rocket engine to optimize a leakage without rubbing phenomenon. The damper floating ring seal, one of the floating ring seals, is with round hole pattern surfaces. It can reduce the leakage by increased friction factor that obtained from experimental data. In this paper, the leakage test about floating ring seal and damper floating ring seal was conducted. The test result showed the leakage performance of damper floating ring seal was better than the leakage performance of floating ring seal. With the leakage test the lock-up and rotation test about seal was conducted and that position is measured. The relatively large lock-up eccentric ratio was obtained from the test result of damping floating ring seal. The attitude angle of seal increases with increasing of shaft rotation

씨일의 마모에 따른 터빈펌프의 동적거동을 고찰하기 위해서 10단 터빈펌프를 대상으로 유한요소법에 의한 동특성 해석을 수행하였다. 베어링과 씨일의 동적계수를 회전속도의 하수로 계산하였으며, 이를 동적거동해석에 적용하였다. 해석결과 씨일들은 그 간극이 커질수록 강성 및 감쇠계수가 크게 떨어지고 누설량이 급격히 늘어남을 확인하였다. 따라서 1차 위험속도(1st Critical Speed) 이하에서 충분한 분리여유(Seperation Margine)를 가지고 정상운전되도록 설계된 터빈펌프라 할지라도 장기적 사용시 마모가 진전됨에 따라 계의 1차 위험속도가 변하여 운전속도에 접근할 수 있으며, 아울러 이 때 씨일의 감쇠가 크게 줄어들어 급격한 진동의 증가를 가져올 수 있음을 보였다.
