Variation of horizontal to vertical stress ratio of transversely isotropic rock caused by erosion was studied by numerical analysis. Influence of transversely isotropic was less than 5% for isotropic case. Difference between stresses obtained by numerical analysis and theoretical solution was small when initial stress ratio was small and the difference increased as erosion depth increased. Stress ratios diverged from initial ones as depth increased. An equation to determine stress ratio considering erosion according to the analyses was suggested.

In-situ stress measurement using AE (Acoustic Emission) and DRA (Deformation Rate Analysis) is usually carried out under uniaxial loading in the laboratory and it consumes delay time from drilling to testing. Therefore, it should be considered how the lateral stress and delay time influence on the test results for the in-situ stress determination. As the delay time increased, the accuracy of estimating the pre-stress decreased. The pre-stress of the specimen loaded only axially was determined within an error of less than 9% (using AE) and 4% (using DRA). And the specimen on which axial pre-stress and the confining pressure were loaded had an error of less than 17% (using AE) and 14% (using DRA). The results of AE and DRA for field specimens were very similar with each other but smaller than those of hydraulic fracturing method.

A total of 18 stress measurements were performed in the rock and rock-like blocks in the laboratory to estimate the influence of anisotropy in rock. Full scale overcoring equipment, which consists of a coring machine and a biaxial loading system by flat jacks, was developed to simulate the in-situ rock stress condition in the laboratory By comparing the isotropic analysis with the anisotropic analysis in measuring the stress, conclusions have been drawn as to the influence of anisotropy. The maximum difference between the isotropic and the anisotropic analysis was 34% and it was shown that the stress measurement considering the anisotropy was needed. To confirm the validity of the observed data, a diagnostic analysis of stress relief curve by overcoring was conducted using the three dimensional finite difference program, FLAC 3D.

This study is concerned with an application of the Boundary Element Method to 2-dimensional elastoplastic stress analysis on the material nonlinearities. The boundary integral formulation adopted an initial stress equation in the inelastic term. In order to determine the initial stress increment, the increment of initial elastic strain energy due to elastic increment in stressstrain curve was used as the convergence criterion during iterative process. For the validity of this procedure, the results of B.E.M. with constant elements and NISA with linear elements where compared on the thin plate with 2 edge v-notches under static tension and the thick cylinder under internal pressure. And this paper compared the results of using unmedical integral with the results of using semi-analytical integral on the plastic domain integral.

In this study, the in-situ stress, strength and stress-strain characteristics with shear parameters (UU, CU, ${\bar{CU}}$) are analytically evaluated and the stability analyses are carried out under loading/unloading conditions. The in-situ stress and the stress-strain behaviour may become different according to input shear parameters in finite element analyses with construction step, Especially, if the internal friction angle in Mohr-Coulomb model is set to zero, the in-situ stress and the stress-strain behaviour might not be properly predicted. The results from CU parameter of total stress analysis have no significant difference with the results from CU of effective stress analysis. Therefore, in the numerical analysis for soft ground, CU parameters can be applied to predict in-situ stress and stress-strain behaviors. In addition, the calculation method was proposed to determine the shear parameter of Mohr-Coulomb model, which is corresponding to the shear strength equivalent to that of in-situ soil.

The state of in situ stress is an important factor in considering the suitability of a site as a geological repository for nuclear waste. In this study, three-dimensional distinct numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of deformation zones on the state of stress in the Oskarshamn area, which is one of two candidate sites in Sweden. A discontinuum numerical model was constructed by explicitly representing the numerous deformation zones identified from site investigation and far-field tectonic stress was applied in the constructed model. The numerical model successfully captured the variation of measured stress often observed in the rock mass containing large-scale fractures, which shows that numerical analysis can be an effective tool in improving the understanding of the state of stresses. Discrepancies between measured and modelled stress are attributed to the inconsistent quality of measured stress, uncertainty in geological geometry. and input data for fractures.

항공기는 전체 수명동안 무수한 반복하중에 노출되기 때문에, 동체에 피로로 인한 다중균열이 불가피하게 발생하게 된다. 이 다중균열은 기체의 강성을 저하시킬 뿐 만 아니라, 종국적으로는 해당 기체구조의 파단을 야기할 수 있다. 초기 결함과 운용 중에 작용되는 응력 스펙트럼은 구조물의 피로수명에 영향을 끼치며 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 초기결함 특성을 파악하기 위한 등가초기결함크기 분포를 산출하고 리벳 시편의 다중균열모델에 대해서 초기결함과 응력배열을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다.

For a massive project related to building national industrial complexes on a soft ground applied to PVD after dredging and hydraulic fill, laboratory tests were carried out using undisturbed sample taken from various depth. Piezocone penetration and dissipation tests were carried out to assess horizontal coefficient of consolidation and initial stress in field. The ground consists of upper dredged fill and lower original clay layer having both similar marine clays. It should be, however, considered as multi-layered soft ground having different initial void ratio, initial water content, initial effective stress, and permeability and compressibility with directions. To assess initial stress of those soft layers in which have different stress history related to consolidation, CPTu test results, especially excess pore water pressure, were analyzed. It allows to find out distribution of excess pore water pressure and initial stress inner original clay layer.

This study is devoted to the problems of thermal and shrinkage stresses in order to avoid cracking at early ages. The early-age damage induced by volume change has great influence on the long-term structural performance of the concrete structures such as its durability and serviceability To solve this complex problem, the computer programs for analysis of thermal and shrinkage stresses were developed. In these procedures, numerous material models are needed and the realistic numerical models have been developed and validated by comparison with relevant experimental results in order to solve practical problems. A framework has been established for formulation of material models and analysis with 3-D finite element method. After the analysis of the temperature, moisture and degree of hydration field in hardening concrete structure, the stress development is determined by incremental structural formulation derived from the principle of virtual work. In this study, the stress development is related to thermal and shrinkage deformation, and resulting stress relaxation due to the effect of early-age creep. From the experimental and numerical results it is found that the early-age creep p)ays important role in evaluating the accurate stress state. The developed analysis program can be efficiently utilized as a useful tool to evaluate the thermal and shrinkage stresses and to find measures for avoiding detrimental cracking of concrete structures at early ages.

로켓모타의 연소관은 구조적인 편의성 및 경량화를 위하여 도옴-실린더부와 실린더-노즐부에 나사체결방법을 많이 적용하고 있는데, 나사의 골부위에 집중응력이 발생하여 인장강도를 넘는 응력이 발생하는 경우가 있다. 본 연구에서는 나사의 골부위의 응력수준을 좀 더 정확히 예측하기 위하여 나사체결시 작용하는 조립 토오크에 의한 초기하중을 고려한 구조해석을 수행하였으며, 나사부위에 발생하는 응력이 항복강도를 초과하므로 정확한 해석을 위하여 탄소성해석을 수행하였다. 조립 토오크에 의한 초기하중은 나사체결 멈춤부에 음(-)의 접촉 간극을 부여하여 모델링하였으며, 조립 토오크의 크기는 나사체결 근접부에서 변형률을 측정하여 모사하였다. 해석결과 초기하중을 고려하여 구조해석을 수행하면 최대예상 작동압력에서 초기하중의 영향은 거의 나타나지 않았으며, 마찰계수를 감소시키면 최대응력이 감소하여 구조적 안전성이 증가할 것으로 판단된다.
