  • The compacted bentonite buffer is one of the most important components in an engineered barrier system (EBS) to dispose of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) produced by nuclear power generation. The compacted bentonite buffer has a crucial role in protecting the disposal canister against the external impact and penetration of groundwater, so it has to satisfy the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical requirements. Even though there have been various researches on the investigation of thermal-hydraulic properties, few studies have been conducted to evaluate mechanical properties for the compacted bentonite buffer. For this reason, this paper conducted a series of unconfined compression tests and obtained mechanical properties such as unconfined compressive strength, elastic modulus, and void ratio of Korean compacted bentonite specimens with different water content and dry density values. The unconfined compressive strength and elastic modulus increased, and the Poisson's ratio decreased a little with increasing dry density. It showed that unconfined compressive strength and elastic modulus were proportional to dry density. However, there was not a remarkable correlation between mechanical properties and water content.

  • Gyeongju bentonite is a buffer material primarily considered in Korea and it is highly compacted as a part of an engineered barrier system (EBS) of high-level radioactive waste repository. The compacted bentonite undergoes swelling stress by groundwater penetration and thermal stress by decay heat from a canister. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the compacted bentonite buffer material is crucial for the performance assessment of EBS. This paper aims to evaluate deformation properties of Gyeongju compacted bentonite using seismic methods. Two sets of compacted bentonite specimens were prepared having dry densities of $1.59g/cm^3$ and $1.75g/cm^3$ with water contents of 10.6% and 8.7%. Free-free resonant column tests were performed to measure constrained and unconstrained compression wave velocities. With the measured wave velocities, Young's modulus ($E_{max}$) and constrained modulus ($M_{max}$), material damping ratio ($D_{min}$), and Poisson's ratio at small strain were determined. As results, this paper evaluates the deformation properties of Gyeongju compacted bentonite and compares them with the results of previous researches.

  • Cold joint caused by construction delay is vulnerable to shear stress and it allows more rapid chloride penetration and diffusion. In the paper, investigation of chloride diffusion coefficient is performed for 1-year cured concrete considering compressive and tensile loading level and cold joint. The results are compared with the previous results in 91-day cured concrete. In the 1-year cured concrete without loading, 10.7% and 10.5% of diffusion reduction are evaluated for those in 91-day cured concrete, respectively. The reduction ratios are almost similar however the result in cold joint concrete shows much higher values. The results in 1-year cured concrete under 30% and 60% of compressive loading show reduction of chloride diffusion by 10.9% and 5.8% compared with 91-day cured results, which is caused by steady hydration of cement particles, so called, time effect. In the case of tensile loading, the differences in results are not significant regardless of time effect and cold joint since micro cracks which is weak point of concrete is much dominant despite of long term curing.

  • There are few attempts to estimate the strength and stiffness of controlled low strength material (CLSM) using existing field-testing methods. The objective of this study is to evaluate the resilient modulus of CLSM by using the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) and investigate the relationships between the resilient modulus from LWD and the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and secant modulus of elasticity from unconfined compressive test. Five CLSMs with different mix designs are used to evaluate the flowability and the stiffening of the CLSM in the flow and Vicat needle tests, respectively. To evaluate the early strength and stiffness characteristics, unconfined compressive tests are performed using the CLSM specimens cured for 1 and 7 days. LWD tests are carried out to estimate the resilient modulus of the CLSM specimens. The experimental results show that for the curing time of 1 day, the UCS and secant modulus of elasticity generally increase with the fast setting mortar content (FC). The CLSM specimen with the highest FC shows the significant increase in the UCS and secant modulus of elasticity along the curing time. Overall, the resilient modulus for the curing time of 1 day increases with the FC, while that for the curing time of 7days decreases with an increase in the FC. From the results, the linear relationships between the resilient modulus and UCS and secant modulus of elasticity are established.

  • The mechanical properties such as compressive strength and elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete containing fly ash are investigated in this study. The experimental parameters were replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate(RCA) and fly ash. Replacement ratio of RCA was 0, 30, 50, and 70% and replacement ratio of fly ash was 0, 15, 30%. The experimental results were extensively discussed about compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete at ages of 7, 28 and 91 days. Compared with concrete not containing fly ash, the decrease of compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete containing fly ash with the replacement ratio of 30% was significant. Therefore, the test results represented that the fly ash replacement ratio of less than 30% was favorable in terms of mechanical properties of recycled coarse aggregate concrete.

  • In order to provide fundamental data for the design of geotextile drains, the in-plane permeability coefficients were determined by tests and permeable cllaracteristics were investigated, mainly on domestic nonwoven and composite getextile products used for drainage purpose. The results obtained are as follows, The thickness, the in-plane permeability coefficient and the transmissivity with the in- crease of compressive stress are found to be remarkably decreased when the compressive stress is lass than about 10KN/m2. The inflane permeability of filament nonwovens are found to be lower than that of composites or staple-fiher nonwovens, and the compressibility of the geotextile shown to be larger for the polyester nonwovens than for the polypropylene nonwovens. The relation of compressive stress, q and compressibility, Cr is expressed as Cr=13.37 In q+23.28 and that of compressibility on the basis of 2KN /m2, Cr' and decrease ratio of in-plane permeability coefficient is followed Pr: 1.25Cr'

  • According to KS and Standard Specifications for Concrete, the compressive strength of concrete containing recycled aggregate is limited to 27 MPa and thereafter there are little research on concrete containing recycled aggregate of its compressive strength of greater than 27 MPa. Therefore, to expand the applicability of concrete recycled coarse aggregate(RCA), this paper concerns the mechanical properties of concrete containing RCA with compressive strength ranging from 30 to 60 MPa. The experimental parameters were water-cement ratio and replacement ratio of RCA. Water-cement ratio(w/c) was 0.36, 0.46 and 0.53, and replacement ratio of RCA was 30, 50, 70 and 100%. The experimental results were discussed about compressive strength, elastic modulus, split tensile strength and modulus of rupture. Test results of elastic modulus were compared to the design code predictions. Experimental elastic modulus for concrete with w/c=0.53 decreased by greater than 10% compared with that for concrete with w/c=0.36. The design code predictions for elastic modulus overestimated the experimental results. Whereas, the design code predictions for modulus of rupture underestimated the measured values.

  • On large-scale sites, concrete is often delivered from a number of ready-mixed concrete companies, but even if the same concrete mixture table is used, it is thought that there will be a difference in quality due to differences in materials and manufacturing equipment. Due to a lack of previous research in this area, this study measured the properties of fresh concrete, compressive strength, and chlorine ion diffusion coefficient using the concrete supplied by 12 ready-mixed companies in Busan. The fresh concrete properties met the criteria. The compressive strength increased by 137% for 30MPa, 131% for 45MPa, and 117% for 80MPa by specified compressive strength. For the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient, the average value for each specified compressive strength could be derived without significant variation. The higher the compressive strength, the greater the deviation , and the lower the compressive strength, the greater the deviation in the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient.

  • 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.

  • In this paper, the applicability to the Korean rock condition of using the deformation moduli based on Rock Mass Rating (RMR) and Pressuremeter Test (PMT) is evaluated. The correlations among deformation moduli and various rock properties were also analyzed. It appears that the existing correlations using RMR overestimate the deformation moduli and wide variation was found between predicted moduli using these correlations and measured values. As for the correlations among the deformation moduli and various rock properties, Rock Quality Designation (RQD) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) were found to correlate to deformation moduli reasonably well, but joint spacing and joint conditions appear to correlate poorly to RQD and UCS. Additionally, groundwater can not be correlated with the modulus values. While the depth has very little contribution to deformation modulus, it should be factored in the simple regression analyses with various rock mass properties, especially with the correlations made with UCS, RQD etc. With the deficiencies of these correlations, more in depth analysis techniques such as multivariate correlations may be to reliably estimate deformation modulus of rock mass.
