Cyclic loading due to traffic, excavation and blasting causes microcrack growth in rocks over long period of time, and this type of loading often causes rock to fail at a lower stress than its monotonically determined strength. Thus, the crack growth and coalescence under cyclic loading are important for the long-term stability problems. In this research, experiments using gypsum as a model material for rock are carried out to investigate crack propagation and coalescence under monotonic and cyclic loading. Both monotonic and cyclic tests have a similar wing crack initiation position, wing crack initiation angle, cracking sequence and coalescence type. Three types of crack coalescence were observed; Type I, II and III. Type I coalescence occurs due to a shear crack and Type II coalescence occurs through one wing or tension crack. For Type III, coalescence occurs through two wing or tension cracks. Fatigue cracks appear in cyclic tests. Two types of fatigue crack initiation directions, coplanar and horizontal directions, are observed.

Based on an estimating method for post-cyclic strength and stiffness with cyclic triaxial tests proposed by one of the authors, cyclic Direct Simple Shear (DSS) tests were carried out to confirm whether the method can be adapted to DSS test on fine-grained soils: silty clay, plastic silt, and non-plastic silt. Results from cyclic and post-cyclic DSS tests were interpreted by a modified method as adopted for cyclic and post-cyclic triaxial tests. In particular, influence of plasticity index for fine-grained soils and initial static shear stress (ISSS) was emphasised. Findings obtained from the present study are: (i) liquefaction strength ratio of fine-grained soils decreases with decreasing plasticity index and increasing ISSS; (ii) plasticity index and ISSS did not markedly influence relation between equivalent cyclic stiffness and shear strain relations; (iii) the higher the plasticity index of fine-grained soils is, the less the strength ratio decreases with increment of a normalcies excess pore water pressure (NEPWP); (iv) stiffness ratio of plastic silt has large activity decrease rapidly with increasing excess pore water pressure; and (v) post-cyclic strength and stiffness results from DSS tests agree well with those predicted by the method modified from a procedure used for triaxial test results.

국내에 천연가스버스가 보급된 이래 5차례의 용기파열 사고가 발생하였는데 그중 2005년 8월 전주 덕진충전소에서 발생한 용기파열사고는 CNG용기의 라이너를 감싸고 있는 복합재료가 손상되어 발생한 사고로 보고되었다. 복합재료용기의 외피손상이 원인이 되어 발생한 사고사례는 해외에서 약 13건이 보고되었다. CNG용기 외피손상은 용기룰 고정하는 스트랩과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 용기고정이 불완전하면 슬립이 발생하고 이는 복합재의 손상으로 이어진다. 본 연구에서는 ISO 19078, CGA C6.4 등 국제코드의 규정을 고려하여 국내에서 제조된 Type 2, 3, 4 용기와 외국에서 생산된 Type 3 용기를 대상으로 결함깊이, 길이, 넓이에 따른 복합재료 결함 내구성시험을 수행하여 CNG용기의 내구성능을 평가하였고, 시험과 동일한 조건으로 복합재료 손상결함 조건을 컴퓨터로 전산모사하여 시험결과의 타당성과 유효성을 비교 검증하였다. 실험결과, Type 2 용기의 경우, 11,250회의 최소반복가압 회수를 충족하였으나 외피손상부와 반복가압에 따른 실제누출부위가 일치하지 않아 실험조건을 달리한 추가실험이 요구되었다. Type 3 용기의 경우에는 복합재 결함부위와 누수부위가 일치된 시험용기의 수는 67%정도로, 복합재료 용기의 수명을 저하시키는 원인으로 라이너와 외피손상이 서로 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. Type 4 용기는 국제기준에서 요구하는 반복횟수를 만족하였고, 손상깊이 0.75mm와 1.25mm에서 반복가압회수가 60,000회 이상이 되어도 누설이 발생되지 않았다. 이는 라이너의 재질이 폴리머로서 균일한데다 탄소섬유 복합재료층 위에 유리섬유 복합재료 층이 1.5mm 정도 추가로 적층되어 있어서 3등급의 손상결함(결함깊이 1.25mm)에서도 구조 층이 전혀 손상되지 않은 것으로 판단되며, 이는 Type 2 용기의 강재라이너나 Type 3의 알루미늄 라이너와 비교하여 Type 4 용기의 폴리에틸렌 라이너의 물성이 반복성능이 탁월함을 확인할 수 있었다.

IN 617의 시편으로 1073K의 온도와 107과 180 MPA의 응력에서 $\varepsilon$=0.18까지 정압크\ulcorner을 한 직후 107 MPa로 응력을 낮추고 (응력강하시험), 또 다른 시편에는 180 ↔ 0.2 MPa의 응력으로 각각 17초씩 반복주기변형을 수행하여 정압크\ulcorner 변형시의 크\ulcorner곡선과 비교를 하엿다. 그 결과 IN 617 의 반복주기변형에서는 변형속도둔화(CCD)가 발생함을 알 수 있었고, 응력강하와 반복변형시험은 모두 거의 같은 모양의 회복 크\ulcorner곡선을 나타내었다. 이러한 회복 크\ulcorner은 아결정립크기와 자유전위밀도로서 그 회복기구를 설명할수 있었다.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effect of cyclic wetting-drying on the compressive strength characteristics of decomposed granite soils. A series of plane strain compression (PSC) tests were performed on test specimens with varying fine contents under different wetting-drying cycles to investigate the change in compressive strength under the process of wetting-drying cycles. The effect of wetting-drying cycles on the structural particle rearrangement at a micro-scale level was also examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests. It was shown that the soil containing larger fines showed more significant decrease in compressive strength compared with the soils with less fines. Also found was that the wetting-drying cycle did not have significant effect on the particle arrangement.

Cracked component analysis is needed for structural integrity analysis under seismic loading. Under large amplitude cyclic loading conditions, the change in material properties can be complex, depending on the magnitude of plastic strain. Therefore the cracked component analysis under cyclic loading should consider appropriate cyclic hardening model. This study introduces a procedure for determining an appropriate cyclic hardening model for cracked component analysis. The test material was nuclear-grade TP316 stainless steel. The material cyclic hardening was simulated using the Chaboche combined hardening model. The kinematic hardening model was determined from standard tensile test to cover the high and wide strain range. The isotropic hardening model was determined by simulating C(T) test under cyclic loading using ABAQUS debonding analysis. The suitability of the material hardening model was verified by comparing load-displacement curves of cyclic C(T) tests under different load ratios.

The liquefaction potential of saturated sands under seismic loading conditions has been carefully considered by many investigations. Typical of these investigations is the laboratory determination of cyclic strength of sands by means of cyclic triaxial tests. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the method of sample preparation on the liquefaction characteristics of remolded samples of saturated uniform sands. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed on saturated uniform sand compacted to the same density by 3 different procedures of pluvial compaction through air, pluvial compaction through water and vibratory compaction. It was validated that the cyclic stress ratio of remolded saturated uniform sands by different compaction procedures at the same density was very different.

Repeatability and reproducibility in solid weight and effective porosity measurements have been discussed using 8 core samples with different diameters, lengths, rock types, and effective porosities. Further, the effect of temperature on the effective porosity measurement has been discussed as well. Effective porosity of each sample has been measured 7 times with vacuum saturation method with vacuum pressure of 1 torr and vacuum time of 80 minutes. Firstly, effective porosity of each sample is measured one by one, so that it can provide a reference value. Then for reproducibility check, effective porosity measurements with vacuum saturation of 2, 4, and 8 samples simultaneously have been performed. And finally, repeated measurements for 3 times for each sample are made for repeatability check. Average deviation from the reference set in solid weight showed 0.00 $g/cm^3$, which means perfect repeatability and reproducibility. For effective porosity, average deviations are less than 0.07% and 0.05% in repeatability and reproducibility test sets, respectively, which are in good agreement too. Most of porosities measured in reproducibility test lies within the deviation range in repeatability test sets. Thus, simultaneous vacuum saturation of several samples has little impact on the effective porosity measurement when high vacuum pressure of 1 torr is used. Air temperature can cause errors on submerged weight read and even effective porosity, because it is closely related to the temperature, density, and buoyancy of water. Consequently, for accurate measurement of effective porosity in a laboratory, efforts for maintaining air or water temperature constant during the experiment, or a temperature correction from other information are needed.

If the railways consisting of soil subgrade is applied to repetitive loading, elastic deformation and plastic deformation will occur at the same time. So the repeat traffic loading condition should be considered to predict the long-term deformation on railway roadbed. In this study, laboratory data from the repeated load triaxial tests and cylinder model test were used to predict accumulated settlement on railway foundation and results were analyed based on the nonliear models and stress state considered. It has proposed predict model using power function model on plastic settlement of roadbed materials.
