Since the particle sizes of the coarse materials used in dam or harbor constructions are much larger than those of typical soils, it is desirable that large shear testing apparatuses are used when performing shear tests on the coarse materials to obtain as accurate results as possible. Two large-scale shear testing apparatuses, large direct shear testing apparatus and large triaxial shear testing apparatus, are commonly used. Currently in Korea, however, there have not been many cases in which shear tests were done using the large apparatus due to mainly difficulties in manufacturing, diffusing, and operating them. In present study, both large direct shear tests and large triaxial shear tests were performed on the coarse materials, which are used as dam fill materials, for 6 test cases in which particle sizes, specimen sizes, vertical pressure (confining pressure) conditions were little different, and then, the shear strength characteristics of the materials were compared with the two different shear tests. The test results showed that, by the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, overall the shear strength obtained by the large direct shear tests was larger than that by the large triaxial shear tests. Moreover, the shear strength under the normal stress of 1,000 kPa was about 10 to 70% larger for the large direct shear tests than for the large triaxial shear tests, revealing the larger differences in the coarse materials, compared to typical soils.

Isotropic rock and anisotropic rock have different tensile strength which has the greatest influence on rock failure. In this study, elastic modulus of anisotropic rock is obtained through uniaxial compression test, and tensile strength and tension failure behavior are analyzed through indirect tensile strength test. Stress concentration factor of a specimen at the center is obtained from anisotropic elastic modulus and strain by indirect tensile strength test. Theoretical solutions for tensile strength of isotropic and anisotropic rock are compared. Stress concentration factor of anisotropic rock is either higher or lower than isotropic rock depending on the inclination angle of bedding plane. The use of stress concentration factor of isotropic rock resulted in overestimation or underestimation of tensile strength.

This study examined the bending performance of high strength and seismic purpose reinforcing bars experimentally with various parameters. For the experimental approach on the bending performance, the specimens were prepared with parameters, such as steel grades, diameters of reinforcing bars, and bending angles of reinforcing bars. Tensile strength tests on the reinforcing bars, the bending tests and re-bending tests, and the second tensile strength tests on the re-bended reinforcing bars were conducted. According to the test results on high strength and seismic purpose reinforcing bars, defects did not appear when the yield strength of the reinforcing bar was 500 MPa or less and the diameter was D13 or less, even when the first bending process was performed with a $135^{\circ}$ bending angle and a $2d_b$ inner radius. The bending performance decreased asthe strength and diameter of the reinforcing bars was increased. In addition, there was no significant difference between the general reinforcing bars and seismic purpose-reinforcing bars.

본 논문에서는 배수성(저소음)포장을 포함하는 2-Layer 아스팔트 포장의 상부층과 하부층의 역학적인 특성을 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 방법으로는 슈퍼페이브 배합설계로 2-Layer 아스팔트 포장의 상 하부층 시편을 제작하였으며, 시편 상부층의 최대공칭치수는 4.75mm이고 하부층의 최대공칭치수는 13mm이다. 이 시편에 대한 기본 물성 시험 실시 후 마샬 안정도 시험에 대한 안정도와 흐름값을 평가하였다. 그리고 상부층과 하부층의 자유단 공진주 시험을 통해 탄성계수(E)를 측정하였고, 비파괴 시험법인 슈미트해머(Schmidt hammer)를 이용해 반발경도를 측정한 후 강도를 추정하였다. 또한 일축압축시험으로 측정된 압축강도로 탄성계수($E_{50}$)를 계산하였다. 마지막으로 각각의 역학적 시험을 통해 얻어진 결과값으로 강도(qu)와 탄성계수 ($E_{50}$)의 상관관계와 추정식으로 구한 강도와 일축압축강도 시험으로 얻어진 강도와의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 자유단 공진주 시험의 탄성계수(E)값과 일축압축시험의 결과로 얻어진 탄성계수($E_{50}$)의 상관관계를 분석하였다.

The effect of specimen geometry on the bending and tensile strengths of dissimilar joints ($\beta-Si_3N_4/S45C$) with copper interlayers was evaluated. The average bending strength of specimens with circular cross sections was higher than that of specimens with rectangular cross sections. The crack initiation stress ($\sigma_i$) was successfully determined by the acoustic emission (AE) method and was approximately 60~80% of the bending strength. The residual stresses near the interfaces on the ceramic side were measured by X-ray diffraction before conducting the bending test. The bending strength and the crack initiation stress decreased with an increase in the residual stresses. The effect of the bending strain component was evaluated by the tensile testing; the tensile strength decreased with an increase in the bending strain component and was approximately 80% of the bending strength.

콘관입시험(CPT)은 의사정적상태로 수행되는 현장시험방법으로서, 각종 기초구조물의 설계와 더불어 지반조사를 위한 대표적 방법으로 널리 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 콘관입시험결과를 이용하여 사질토 지반에 있어서 지반강도의 상세평가법을 제안하고자 한다. 사질토의 강도는 상대밀도와 응력상태에 따라 변하는 상태의존적 성질을 나타내고 있으나, 이러한 역학적 성질은 실험실 내에서만 측정이 가능한 상태이며, 현장강도의 경험식이나, 대표강도의 평가만이 제안되어 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표적 현장시험방법인 CPT를 이용하여 다이러턴시 특성 평가가 가능하며, 다양한 지반특성치가 반영될 수 있는 현장강도의 상세평가법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 실내삼축압축시험을 통해 얻어진 강도특성과 역학특성치들을 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 수정 다일러턴시 평가법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 가압토조를 이용한 콘관입시험을 수행하였으며, 측정값과의 비교분석을 수행하였다.

The strength and ductility of steel flexural members are investigated experimentally in this study. As for the performance evaluation of flexural members. experimental studies on the 9 test specimens were carried out. Four specimens were fabricated from SM490 and five specimens were fabricated from SM570. The experimental results of the specimens were analyzed with focus on the flexural strength and ductility. The experimental results exhibited that all the specimens provided sufficient flexural strengthes which exceeded the nominal flexural strengthes specified in the current Limit State Design Specification by average ratio of 1.22. However. the experimental results showed that the compact-section specimens fabricated from SM570 did not provide the required rotational ductility. The yield-to-tensile strength ratio(YR) of SM570 of about 0.9 might be the causes of such insufficient capacities.

Eighteen biotite granites on Andong area and twenty seven igneous rocks(diorite, granite, andesite, rhyolite) on Yeosu area were tested to evaluate the correlations between the uniaxial compressive strength values, as determined by the standard uniaxial compression test, and the corresponding results of the ultrasonic velocity. The variability of test results for each test was evaluated by calculating the coefficient of determination or variation. Results indicate that strong correlations exist between the results of uniaxial compression vs the point load, Schmidt hammer and ultrasonic velocity test. The correlation equations for predicting compressive strength using different methods are presented along with their confidence limits. Ultrasonic velocity test used provide reliable estimates of compressive strength.

It is important to evaluate rock strength in order to check stability of a rock slope or to design a structure built on rock. However, test methods used for the evaluation have some difficulties since rock samples provide various deviation of strength due to micro cracks in the samples and teat errors, Also, reliable data have not been accumulated for the rock strength in Korea. Therefore, simple teat methods that can be used easily for investication of rock strength in field or in laboratory are not provided sufficiently yet. This study is to investigate variation of the rock strength due to the degree of weathering and to evaluate the degree of weathering by types of rocks, by using data that have been obtained for several years. Therefore, it is possible to provide a relationship between several rock strength values by performing tests such as uniaxial compression teat, point load test, schmidt hammer teat, absorption ratio best and slaking durability tests. The equations of relationships that can be used to estimate rock strength by using simple test methods in field and in laboratory are proposed.
