Modulus measurements in vertical boreholes under simulated horizontal in-situ stress conditions were performed on laboratory rock specimens. The experimental program was focused on the examination of modulus change with the variation of the orientation, magnitude and ratios of horizontal biaxial stresses. The experiment results show that the modulus increases when the magnitude of the horizontal stresses increases. The modulus measured in the minimum principal direction increased when the ratio between the horizontal principal stresses increased, while the modulus measured in the maximum principal direction decreased when the ratio of the horizontal principal stresses increased. These were caused by the tangential stresses that vary depending upon the magnitude of horizontal stresses, the applied pressure and the orientation of measurement. Also, the measured moduli were determined under tensile stress, compressive stress, or both stresses. Thus, the stress effect on deformation modulus should be considered, not only for the interpretation of the results of borehole deformability measurement, but also for the design of underground gas storage and pressure tunnel, and for the interpretation of tunnel monitoring.

The objective of this study is to examine the loss of prestressing stress in the developed prestressing reinforcing units using steel bar and pipe (SP). The main parameters were the reinforcing bar type, the magnitude of prestressed force, and prestressing method. The test results showed that the loss of prestressing stress for SP was highest in the initial prestressing step, which was higher for the compression introduction typed specimens than tension introduction typed specimens. The loss of prestressing stress of SP made with P800 was 1.6% for the compression introduction typed specimen with 0.8f_y, which was lowest than the other specimens. Meanwhile, the relaxation of SP with the respect to the time ranged between 0.4 and 1.9%, irrespective of SP material type, the magnitude of prestressed force, and prestressing method. These values were less than 2.5%, which is the maximum value for the relaxation of prestressed reinforcing steel bars in design codes. Consequently, considering the loss of stress developed in the initial prestressing step, the developed SP material type, prestressing introduction method, and magnitude are recommended to be P800, compression introduction type, and 0.8f_y.

Information on the deformation behavior and fracture strength of rocks subjected to dynamic loadings is important to stability analyses of underground openings underground vibration due to rock blasts, earthquakes and rock bursts. In this study, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) system was applied to estimate dynamic compressive and tensile fracture strengths of limestone and also examine deformation behavior of limestones under dynamic loadings. A micro-focus X-ray CT scanner was used to observe non-destructively inside the impacted limestone specimens. From the dynamic tests, it was revealed that the limestone have over 140MPa dynamic compressive strength and the strain-rate dependency of the strength. Dynamic Brazilian tensile strength of the limestone exceeds 21MPa and shows over 3 times static Brazilian tensile strength.

In this study, material properties of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (FRHSC) with the compressive strength of about 120MPa were modeled. Steel fiber content of 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% was considered as experimental variable. First of all, compressive strength tests were carried out to determine compressive characteristics of concrete, and compressive stress-strain curves were modeled. For conventional concrete with moderate compressive strength, the stress-strain curves are in the form of parabolic curves, but in the case of high strength concrete reinforced with steel fiber, the curves increase linearly in the form of the straight line. In addition, to understand the tensile properties of FRHSC, the crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) test was performed, and the tensile stress-CMOD curve was calculated through inverse analysis. When the steel fiber content increased from 1.0% to 1.5%, there was a significant difference of tensile strength. However, when the amount of steel fiber was increased from 1.5% to 2.0%, there was no significant difference of tensile strength, which might result from the poor dispersion and arrangement of steel fiber in concrete.

측면구속은 지오그리드에서 골재 입자의 상호결합과 관련된 주요 보강 메커니즘으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 실내실험을 통해 얻은 지오그리드-골재 상호결합에 의한 국부적 강성증가에 대한 결과를 토대로, 지오그리드로 보강된 기층을 포함한 포장구조체의 탄성 반응 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 기존의 실험적 연구에서는 지오그리드 배치된 시편 중간 높이로부터 거리가 멀어질수록 전단파 측정에서 추정된 전단탄성계수가 감소한다는 것을 보여주었다. 또한, 삼각형 지오그리드 근처의 강성 증가가 사각형 지오그리드 근처보다 크게 나타났다. 이러한 전단탄성계수 주상도를 기반으로, 수치해석적 연구에서는 기층의 4 개 하부층에 대한 탄성계수 값을 다르게 할당되었다. 층상 탄성해석 프로그램을 사용한 수치해석적 연구는 아스팔트층 하단에서 두 지오그리드 보강 포장시나리오의 수평방향 인장 응력과 변형이 미보강된 시나리오에 비해 감소했음을 보여주었다. 기층 중간깊이에서는 지오그리드 보강 포장시나리오의 압축응력이 미보강된 시나리오에 비해 보다 크게 나타났으며, 지오그리드 보강구간의 인장변형은 미보강된 구간보다 작게 나타났다. 삼각형 및 사각형 지오그리드의 사용은 기층 중간깊이에서 미보강된 시나리오에 비해 수직압축응력을 증가시키고 수직압축변형을 감소시켰다. 노상 상단에서는 지오그리드 보강 포장 구간의 수직 응력과 변형이 미보강된 구간보다 작았는데, 이는 노상의 침하 가능성이 낮다는 것을 보여주었다. 따라서, 지오그리드와 골재 간 미세역학적 상호결합을 기반으로 한 거시적 모델링 방법은 지오그리드로 보강된 아스팔트포장시스템의 역학적 분석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Many studies have been performed on hybrid fiber reinforced concrete for years, which is to improve some of the weak material properties of concrete. Studies on characteristics of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete using amorphous steel fiber and organic fiber, however, yet remain to be done. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the compressive and tensile behaviors and then propose a material model of high performance hybrid fiber reinforced concrete using amorphous steel fiber and polyamide fiber. For this purpose, the high performance hybrid fiber reinforced concretes were made according to their total volume fraction of 1.0% for target compressive strength of 40MPa and 60MPa, respectively, and then the compressive and tensile behaviors of those were evaluated. Also, based on the experimental results of the high performance hybrid fiber reinforced concrete and mortar, each material model for the compressive and tensile behavior was suggested. It was found that the experimental results and the proposed models corresponded relatively well.

The Dongnae Fault in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsular is not a single fault but a complex fault zone composed of numerous minor faults. In order to deduce the paleostress tensor evolving the Dongnae Fault, we measured 329 faults in outcrops around the fault zone and analyzed the geometries of them. Most of them are steeply dipping(>65˚) and fall into three groups striking N10E, N30E and N70E. More than one half of them show the rakes less than 30˚ Paleostress tensor analysis using the collected fault data has been conducted with the Angelier's direct inversion method and the Choi's method. As result, four different principal paleostress axes each of which subtends an independent tectonic event are found. They are; (1) NNE-SSW compression and ESE-WNW extension (Event I), (2) NNE-SSW extension (Event II), (3) ESE-WNW extension (Event III) and (4) ENE-WSW compression and NNW-SSE extension (Event IV) in chronology. Therefore, the tectonic movement around the Dongnae Fault was firstly governed by strike-slip faulting related to Event I. Afterward, normal faults were formed by Event II and Event III. Finally, the dextral strike-slip faults along the major trace of the Dongnae Fault were formed in NNE direction related to Event IV.

Making use of SN steel in the building structure should be a prerequisite to adopt the design strength of said steel. As a preceding study, the material properties of STKN400B/490B tubes and SPAP235/325 and SPAR295 square pipes manufactured using SN400B/490B plates were evaluated. Compared with the yield and ultimate strengths of SN400B/490B plates, those of STKN400B/490B tubes increase. Nonetheless, the yield and ultimate strengths of STKN400B/490B tubes satisfied the design codes of STKN400B/490B tubes even though the tubes were fabricated via roll bending or press forming. On the other hand, the yield and ultimate strengths at the edges of SPAP235/325 square pipes did not satisfy the design codes based on the values at the sides. The maximum tensile and compressive residual stresses at the SN490B tube were equal to and 40% of the yield strength of the SN490B plate, respectively, In the case of the SPAP325 square pipe, both the maximum tensile and compressive residual stresses were 80% of the yield strength of the SN490B plate. The axial compressive loaded column test results snowed that the buckling strengths were not very different regardless of the mode of fabrication of STKN490B tunes. i.e., through roll bending or press forming. On the other hand, the buckling strength of the SPAP325 square pipe was higher than that of the built-up square pipe.

Most of concrete fatigue tests currently used are flexural tension or compression methods to investigate the tensile or compressive properties, respectively. However, the concrete pavement or concrete slab is actually subjected to a combined stress condition such as biaxial or triaxial. The split tension test may result in similar stress condition to biaxial stress condition. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the split tension fatigue test method for application in concrete. These were done by a finite element analysis and experimental series. The results were as follows: The optimum configuration of split tension fatigue test was a cylinder of 15cm in diameter and 7.5cm in thickness, which had a little different thickness compared to the KS standard cylinder of ${\phi}15{\times}30cm$. The concrete stress ratio of compressive against horizontal from FEA was 3.1, while that from theory was 3.0. The stress distributions of mortar and steel were almost similar at different thicknesses. The measured static split tensile strengths of concrete and mortar were quite similar at 30cm and 7.5cm thickness cylinders. The measured stress-strain relationship showed their consistency at all specimens regardless of thickness, and confirmed the results from FEA. As a results, the concrete split tension specimen, cylinder of 15cm in diameter and 7.5cm in thickness, could be used at fatigue test because of its accuracy, simplicity and convenience.
