자연하천은 일반적으로 만곡수로나 사행수로 형태를 보이고 있으며, 직선수로에서와 달리 원심력에 기인한 이차류 영향을 받게 된다. 이차류에 의해서 수면에서는 만곡부 바깥쪽으로, 하상에서는 만곡부 안쪽으로의 흐름특성을 보이게 된다. 만곡부 안쪽으로 가해지는 하상 전단응력에 기인하여 하상에서의 입자가 만곡부 안쪽으로 이송되며, 결과적으로 만곡부 안쪽에는 점사주가, 바깥쪽에는 소(pool)가 생성된다. 또한 지형경사의 생성으로 입자에 가해지는 중력효과도 변화된다. 따라서 이와 같은 자연하천의 흐름과 하상변동을 수치모의 하기 위해서는 만곡부 이차류 특성을 고려한 모형이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수심 적분된 흐름방정식과 하상토 보존방정식 (Exner equation)을 이용한 하상변동을 위한 비연계 수치모형을 위해서 하상토 보존방정식의 유한요소 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 하상토 보존방정식은 흐름 특성에 따른 평형 유사량의 공간변화율을 이용하여 일정 기간 동안의 하상 변화량을 계산한다. 이 때 이차류에 의한 하상 전단응력의 편각 및 지형경사 변화에 따른 실제 입자의 이송방향을 보정하여 평형 유사량이 계산된다. 이러한 보정식을 적용시키기 위해서는 유속성분의 공간변화량 및 지형경사의 공간성분이 필요하다. 유한요소법은 연속성 변수를 이산화시켜 근사해를 구하는 수치기법의 일종이기 때문에, 요소망이 불규칙적으로 구성되었을 경우 임의의 절점에서 연속성을 지닌 변수의 공간변화율을 계산하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 평형 유사량 계산 시에 절점이 아닌 요소 내부에서 평형 유사량을 계산하는, 하상토 보존방정식의 새로운 유한요소 알고리즘을 개발하고, 새로운 알고리즘을 적용시킨 수치모형의 검증을 행하였다. 경계조건 알고리즘의 검증으로 위해서 Soni 등 (1980)이 행한 상류 유입 유사량에 따른 하상변동을 수치 모의하고 실험치와 비교하였으며, Sutmuller와 Glerum (1980)이 수행한 만곡수로에서의 하상변동을 모의하고 실험과 비교하였다. 새로운 알고리즘을 적용시킨 하상토 보존방정식의 유한요소 수치모형의 결과는 매우 안정적이며, 실험과 매우 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 수치모델은 현재 균일한 입자의 하상토만을 고려하므로, 입자분급이나 하상 장갑화 현상 등은 무시한다.

In case of general structures, it has been known that the strain amplitude band experienced by the base in a state of service load is less than 1% and most of the base show low, strain amplitude behavior less than 0.01%. In this study examining the influence affected to dynamic behavior in a condition of the low strain amplitude of unsaturated decomposed granite soils, the resonant column test, using some samples in Su-won area, has been performed for each degree of saturation resulted from different void ratios and confined stress. It is found out that the minimum value of the damping ratio occurred in roughly $17{\sim}18%$ according to void ratios regardless of confined pressure in the same manner with the case of the maximum shear elastic modulus; and it is estimated that for the influence of surface tension in the optimum degree of saturation, the damping ratio appears to be least.

Plate tectonics is a dominant paradigm in modern geophysics. Because of its geological mechanism, Korea has a possibility of earthquake according to plate motion. Besides the disaster of earthquake grows rapidly, the importance of recognition for earthquake has been emphasized. This study attempts to decide crustal movement parameters with GPS data, analysed baseline after processing data with GIPSY-OASIS II S/W, observed from 6 stations in and around the Korean peninsula, and obtained from selected 11 stations in Korea. As a results, maximum shear strain was $0.04{\mu}/yr$ and the mean azimuth of the maximum compression axes$(A_{z2})$ is estimated as $97.75^{\circ}$ in and around the Korean peninsula. The average rate of the maximum shear strain($({\gamma}_max)$) is $0.17{\mu}/yr$. The mean azimuth of the maximum compression axes$(A_{z2})$ is estimated as $70.25^{\circ}$ in Korea. Such a pattern of strain distribution is harmonious with that of seismic activity in Korea both historically as well as today.

This paper describes a new numerical analysis technique in stability analysis for a slope reinforced with pressure grouted soil nails. The installing effect of pressure grouted soil nails can be simulated in this method. Shear strength reduction method associated with finite element method is used for slope stability analysis. Factors of safety for a slope reinforced with pressure grouted soil nails are compared with those for a natural slope and a slope reinforced with gravity grouted soil nails in order to investigate their reinforcing effects. More than 50% increase in the factor of safety is obtained when the slope is reinforced with pressure grouted soil nails compared to the one with gravity grouted soil nails. The reinforcing effects of pressure grouted soil nails become obvious with increase in their length. The reinforcing mechanism of the pressure grouted soil nails for the slope stability can be explained by the slope failure surface expanding gradually toward the backfill. The increased stability of the slope reinforced with pressure grouted soil nails results mainly from their improved pull-out resistance.

The unsaturated layers by rainfall infiltration are not properly reflected in construction codes to do slope design. The objective of this paper is to analyze the slope behavior according to the saturation layer increase resulted from the rainfall infiltration, to do that the laboratory slope model apparatus was adopted. From the model apparatus, the variation of water content and strength parameters of the model slope were analyzed. The safety factors of model slope was decreased, if saturation layer was increased from 3.0m to 4.5m, which means ground water level 3m selected from construction codes makes higher safety level. Also, if the ground water level is located in soil surface, the lower safety level will show up. Therefore, to make the proper slope design, the experiments and analysis of variation of saturation layer is needed.

For the reinforced earth wall constructed on a soft ground in parallel with replacing soft soils, the behavior of the wall according to variations of thickness and stiffness of soft layer, replacement depth, and wall height is investigated using a finite element method, in which incremental construction steps including consolidation of soft soil layer are considered. The behavior of wall is characterized by investigating displacements and settlements developing at the wall, and shear strains developing in a soil deposit. The stability of wall is, then, evaluated by comparing these values with the safety criteria determined on the basis of the literature. Based on the investigation, it is shown that the behavior of wall is influenced naturally from soft soil thickness(t), replacement depth(d) and wall height(h), but more significantly from d and h. In addition, it is also shown that the normalized replacement depth, d/h, required for the safety of wall is not influenced significantly by the variations of t and h. Consequently, it can be concluded that the proper replacement depth can be suggested in an equivalent value in terms of d/h, even for the cases where the wall height is varying with stations, but the variation is not significant.

In this study, the centrifuge model tests were carried out to evaluate the stress concentration ratio, the deformation modes of piles and the ground movement in clay deposit improved by SCP and GCP piles with changing the replacement ratio(20%, 40%, 60%) under flexible loading. Based on the results obtained, it was shown that the stresses acting on GCP was larger than those acting on SCP with the same replacement ratio. It was evaluated that the average stress concentration ratio of soft clay ground improved by GCP was slightly larger than that of SCP when the replacement ratio is 40%. Only expansion failure occurred in GCP, whereas SCP showed the expansion and shear failure simultaneously.

MRE(magneto-rheological elastomers) is a material which shows reversible and various modulus in magnetic field. Comparing to conventional rubber vibration isolator, MREs are able to absorb vibration of broader frequency range. These characteristic phenomena result from the orientation of magnetic particles named carbonyl iron powder(CIP) in rubber matrix. In this paper, simulation on variation rate of shear modulus for anisotropic MRE due to volume fraction of CIP and an effective permeability model was applied to predict the field-induced shear modulus of MREs. Also, the variation rate of shear modulus for anisotropic MRE was derived using magneto-mechanical theory. Based on Maxwell-Garnett mixing rule, the increment of shear modulus was calculated to evaluate the shear modulus of MREs with column structure of CIP due to induced current. The simulation results on variation rate of shear modulus can be applied to the variable mechanical system of MRE such as tunable vibration absorber, stiffness variable bush and mount.

The current analytical techniques for R/C elements under severe dynamic repeated loads, like earth¬quake or impact, have two major problems; one is that the effects of strain rate are not considered and the other one is the current analytical model was developed based on flexural behavior only. This study develops computer software that can idealize the flexural and shear behavior of R/C elements using several parameters and also can consider the effects of strain rate. The analytical results using the developed technique were compared with serveral experimental results and they were generally satisfied.

Three interior slab-column connections designed by equal static moments and by different distribution of end and midspan moments were tested. Each test specimen consists of a 4.2 m square slab and a 355 mm square column stub. The slab thickness is 152 mm. Test results showed not only that flat plate systems can undergo considerable redistribution of moments from the uncracked state to final maximum capacity, but also that the distribution of moments is controlled largely by the distribution of reinforcement adopted by the designer. Tests also indicated that the punching shear strength of slabs can be affected by the redistributed moments.
