In order to investigate the influence factors to compressive and tensile strength of basalt in Cheju Island, rock samples of Pyosenri basalt, trachy-basalt and scoria were taken from Seoguipo-Si Seongsan-Eup area, and a series of uniaxial compressive strength test and Brazilian test were carried out. Especially, these tests were performed in consideration of the loading speed, the moisture content in rock sample, and the anisotropy of rock strength. The uniaxial compressive strength was increased gradually as the loading speed rose. The increasing quantity of uniaxial compressive strength had a difference in each rock types. Also, the strength was decreased with increasing the moisture contents in rock sample by pore water. As the result of test considering the anisotropy of rock strength, the compressive strength in condition of failure occurred parallel to stratified layer is decreased about 12-26% more than that in condition of failure occurred inclined to stratified layer.

The uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus of intact rocks are the most important analytical parameters for design of rock mass structures. But the preparation of the samples for uniaxial compressive test is a hard and time consuming task. By using ultrasonic test, engineers can predict the analytical parameters that is the uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus. The uniaxial compressive test and ultrasonic test were carried out 115 samples of igneous rocks, 74 samples of metamorphic rocks and 55 samples of sedimentary rocks and, after regression analysis of the test results, best fit equations for predicting the uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus are proposed. In order to obtain a better correlations coefficient between uniaxial compressive strength and P-wave velocity, the P-wave velocity were multiplied by density values. The proposed equations for predicting uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus using ultrasonic test provide reliable results.

The demand for FRPs that are corrosion-free and have an excellent tensile strength-to-weight ratio. However, there is a lack of research on the mechanical properties of FRP in the form of rebars, especially the changes in performance due to heating. Therefore, in this paper, 60 tensile and compression specimens of CFRP rebars with a diameter of 12 mm were fabricated and subjected to direct tensile and direct compression tests, and their performance was evaluated according to the heating temperature. It was found that as the heating temperature increases above 300 ℃, the performance decrease becomes larger due to the burning of epoxy. The compressive strength was found to be much lower than the tensile strength, but the modulus of elasticity was found to be the same in tension and compression.

In this study, laboratory test, in-situ vane shear test and piezocone penetration test in the study area were conducted to investigate the engineering characteristics of soft soils at Cheongra District, Songdo District in Incheon City, the west coast of Gyeonggi province, and Sihwa District in Ansan city. The correlations among compression index, and in-situ vane shear test, and cone resistance were obtained. The variations of liquid limit, plasticity index, water content and compression index with respect to depth exhibit strong similarity. This means that they have strong correlations, which can be used to evaluate the local characteristics of the study area. Thus, the correlations between compression index and physical properties were analysed to investigate the engineering characteristics of soft soil in the study area. The relationships between the measured piezocone factor by empirical methods, and undrained shear strength obtained by triaxial compression test or in-situ vane shear test were compared. It shows the significant correlation and piezocone factors, $N_{kT}$are suggested for the study area.

In this study, it was examined a strength characteristic of organic acid material that is eco-friendly and low energy as a soil improving material. The object of this study is to analysis of strength changes with observing the clay mixed organic acid material through the unconfined compression strength test and triaxial compression test during 28 days. As a result of the tests, the strength of clay mixed organic acid material is increased when the more ages are prolonged, the more organic acid material mixture ratio growed. Therefore, in grasping the strength improvement effects of clay by organic acid material mixing, it confirmed that organic acid material as soil improving material is effective through unconfined compression strength test and triaxial compression test. Through this test, the definite strength increase is confirmed according to the mixture of the organic acid material and the possibility of soil improvement is also confirmed based on this result. From now on, detailed examination and field test will help closely to definite strength characteristics.

This study aims at investigating of the behavioral characteristics of foundation ground subjected to a strip load in anisotropy. Using marine clays sampled at Shihwa area, a series of laboratory tests including triaxial compressive test, plane strain compressive and expansion tests that allows horizontal deformation only and zero strain (${\varepsilon}_2$) in the direction of intermediate stress (${\sigma}_2$) are conducted. In addition, a numerical analysis using parameters obtained from the tests is carried out. In the numerical analysis, Cam-clay model that simulates the behavior of natural deposited clay properly is adopted. The analysis results show that the vertical displacements of the plane strain compressive tests are relatively larger than those of triaxial compressive tests by 18-25%. Likewise, the horizontal displacements is 13-19% larger.

In general, Fracture of the material is not occurring of the maximum normal stress or the maximum shear stress failure in the state. Maximum normal stress and maximum shear stress in the state of Critical coupling from being destroyed based on the Mohr-Coulomb theory. Couple of different mixtures, including permeable asphalt pavement, SMA and dense-graded asphalt mixture, were used for compression triaxial test at $45^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. Mohr-Coulomb theory to the analysis of compression triaxial test result of the internal friction angle $38.9^{\circ}{\sim}46.9^{\circ}$ measured somewhat irregularly, but in the case of cohesion, depending on whether the temperature and immersion of the specimen appeared differently. In addition, Indirect tensile test and compression triaxial test of the asphalt mixture to determine the correlation between compression triaxial test results assessed as cohesion and internal friction angle calculated using the theoretical Indirect tensile strength and measured indirectly tensile strength were analyzed. The Measured & Predicted IDT St values tended to be proportional.

The composite lattice structures have advantages of high specific stiffness and strength and are mainly applied to the structures of launch vehicles that carry the compressive load. However, since these structures are manufactured by filament winding technology, there are some defects and voids found in the knots. For these reasons, the stiffness and strength of the lattice structures have to be compared with finite element model for predicting design load. But, the full scale test is difficult because time and space are limited and the shape of structure is complex, and hence the simple and reliable test methods for examination of stiffness are needed. In this paper, subelements of composite lattice structures were prepared and compressive and bending test were conducted for examination of stiffness of helical and hoop rib. Test methods for subelements of composite lattice structures that has curved and twisted shape were supposed and compared with finite element analysis results.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 폼 샌드위치 복합재료와 알루미늄 허니컴 샌드위치 복합재료의 면내 외 방향 압축실험으로 하중-변위의 관계를 분석하고 압축 특성을 비교하였다. 만능재료시험기로 1 mm/min 의 속도로 압축을 하였으며, 카메라로 실험과정을 촬영하고 로드셀에서 나오는 데이터를 컴퓨터로 저장하였다. 압축실험의 결과로 알루미늄 폼 및 허니컴 샌드위치 복합재료에서 하중이 증가함에 따라 심재에 좌굴이 발생하였다. 면내 방향 압축실험에서 알루미늄 폼 및 허니컴 샌드위치 시험편에 작용하는 압축 최대하중은 비슷하지만 비중을 고려하면 알루미늄 허니컴 샌드위치 복합재료가 더 우수한 것으로 판단되며, 면외 방향 압축실험에서도 알루미늄 허니컴 샌드위치 복합재료의 압축 최대하중이 알루미늄 폼 샌드위치 복합재료보다 높게 나왔다.
