Reinforced soil structures may experience large local movements between soil and reinforcement. The failure modes of a reinforced structure depend on several factors which are governed by deformation and slipping of the reinforcement. In some cases, pulling out of the reinforcement may occur instead of rupturing, The growing use of geosynthetic liner system for storage of solid and liquid wastes has led to a number of slope instability problems where the synthetic liner may undergo a large amount of stretching and slipping as a result of the loading. The conventional finite element model for the soil-reinforcement interface uses a zero thickness joint element with normal and shear stiffnesses and can only accommodate a small amount of deformation. When a large slippage occurs, the model provides an i ncorrect mechanism for deformation. This paper presents a new interface finite element model which is able to simulate a large amount of slippage between soil and reinforcement. The formulation of the model is presented and the capability of the model is demonstrated using illustrative examples.

Recently, geofiber(polyester) reinforced soil was added on soil-seed mixture spray to control erosion and to improve vegetation growth on rocky slope sites. This research was conducted to compare vegetation effects and soil hardness on three types of soil-seed mixture spray on stone gabion river bank [A type : soil-seed mixture spray underlying 30cm thick sand with geofiber(geofiber reinforced soil system), B type : soil-seed mixture spray underlying 30cm thick sand without geofiber, C type : soil-seed mixture spray]. Evaluation were made concerning vegetation coverage, soil hardness and moisture content. The results of this study showed that A type system was effective for the growth of vegetation and soil hardness when compareed to B type and C type. A type and B type showed higher covering rate than C type on stone gabion river bank, and especially A type showed the highest covering rate. Soil hardness and water content were high on A type vegetation system compared to B type and C type. We noted that high soil hardness and high moisture content with geofiber(geofiber reinforced soil system) were effective both to control erosion from water current impact and to be high coverage and species of vegetation on stone gabion river bank.

PLA(Poly(lactic acid))는 옥수수, 사탕수수와 같은 천연재료에서 얻어진 젖산(lactic acid or lactide)을 원료로 하여 합성한 생분해성 고분자로서 석유자원의 고갈과 환경오염에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 합성고분자를 대체할 재료로 각광받고 있다. 일반적인 PLA의 장점으로 투명성, 굽힘강성, 방수성, 가열밀봉성 등이 있으며, 단점으로는 열안정성, 내구성, 충격 강도 등이 있다. PLA를 섬유로 사용될 경우 농림 토목용 생분해성 소재 뿐 아니라 실크의 광택과 뛰어난 드레이프성, 감촉을 갖는 장점이 있다. 또한 수분을 신속하게 흡수하여 발산시키는 특성을 가지고 있고, 낮은 연소열과 가스량, 자기 소화성 등의 방염 특성 등을 지녀 의류 인테리어 소재로 매력적인 특성을 가지고 있다. PLA는 바이오고분자 중 비교적 높은 용융온도를 가지고 있지만 특히 염색 및 가공조건 등 고온 처리에 의해 기계적 강도가 저하되는 단점이 있어 내열성 및 기계적 강도의 향상이 필수적이다. 내열성 및 기계적 강도 향상을 위한 가장 손쉬운 방법은 고분자 사슬을 가교시키는 것으로서 열처리 또는 감마선, 전자선, 자외선 조사를 이용할 수 있는데 열에 의한 가교는 균일한 열전달과 고온이 필요하며 감마선 및 전자선 조사는 설비의 고비용과 방사성 노출 위험으로 인해 비친환경적이다. 따라서 다루기 쉽고 비용이 적게 들고 친환경적인 장점을 가진 자외선 조사법을 이용한 PLA의 광가교의 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 PLA 직물의 열안정성과 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 광개시제와 자외선 조사를 이용하여 PLA 직물의 광가교를 수행하였다.

Recently, the composite material becomes more popular and its usage is kept expanding from aerospace to civil structures such as bridge decks and irrigation and drainage pipes. The major cause for the popularity can be found in its high strength, light, and excellent anticorrosive properties. Nevertheless the methods to accurately predict and analyze its structural behavior are extremely limited. This has been the major reason circumventing more prevalent use of the composite materials in civil structures. This study is a pre-study to develop the analyzing models for accurate prediction of the composite material structures. Thus, various tests were performed for GFRP pipes to estimate material characteristics of GFRP in this study. And stress-strain relation of GFRP was suggested as a bilinear relation.

충남서부권은 기상이변으로 강수량이 적고 가뭄이 심화되고 있는 반면, 신규수원 개발 적지 부족 등 용수공급에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 2015년부터 2016년까지 가뭄시 비상용수공급을 위해 비상도수로를 건설하였다. 이 비상도수로는 보령댐의 가뭄단계 상황기준으로 운영중에 있다. 가뭄단계 상황이 경계단계에 진입하면 도수로를 가동시작하여 관심단계 회복시에 중단하게 된다. 동 연구는 현재 운영중인 보령댐도수로의 가동Rule을 수량(이수안전도), 수질(BOD), 전력비용을 고려하여 시나리오별로(상시도수, 총 도수량대비 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) 도수할 때 어느 도수 Rule이 수량-수질-에너지 넥서스 측면에서 가장 유리한지를 밝혀 내고자 하였다. 연구에 사용된 기초자료는 보령댐도수로 준공이후 2016년~2019년 도수실적 자료를 이용하였다. 수량(이수안전도) 검토는 MODSIM을 활용하였고, 수질개선효과는 실측 BOD를 기준으로 도수조건별로 오염부하량으로 검토하였다. 전력비용은 금강원수 도수년도별로 산정하여 분석하였다. 추가 연구결과를 통해 가뭄단계 상황기준, 월별 물관리 여건을 고려하여 기준향후 비상도수로 운영에 있어서 수량절량, 수질개선, 전력비용 절감을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

Recently, foundations of heavy structures such as bridge abutments have been built on slopes or near the crest of slopes at an increasing rate. Because the bearing capacity of such foundations is considerably lower than the bearing capacity of the same soil on a level ground, deep footings such as piles and caissons are often used. However, the costs of such methods are generally very high. One of the new techniques to overcome the problem is to place reinforcing members such as geosynthetics or metal strips horizontally at some depths beneath the footings. Rational methods of analysis to predict the bearing capacity of footings in reinforced slopes are therefore needed. This paper proposes an analytical method for estimating the increase in bearing capacity gained from the included horizontal strips or ties of tensile reinforcing in the foundation soil below the footing built near the crest of a slope. A failure mechanism, including the concept of'wide slab effect', adopted in the present study for analyzing the bearing capacity of foundations in reinforced slopes, is established through the observed model test behaviors described by Binquet SE Lee and Huang et al, and the Boussinesq solutions. The analytical results are then compared with the experimental data described in the paper by Huang et al. Also in order to properly evaluate the soil reinforcement interaction, typical pullout test values of the apparent friction coefficient, which usually vary with depths owing to both the increase of the shearing volume and the increase in local stress caused by soil dilatancy, are analyzed and related functionally. Furthermore, analytical parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effect and significance of various pertinent parameters associated with design of reinforced slope foundations. Keywords : Bearing capacity, Reinforced slope, Slab effect, Friction coefficient.

This paper deals with the numerical determination of the stress intensity factors of cracked aluminum plates under the mixed mode of $K_I$ and $K_{II}$ in glass-epoxy fiber reinforced composites. For the stress intensity factors, two different models are reviewed such as VCCT and two-step extension method. The p-convergent partial layerwise model is adopted to determine the fracture parameters in terms of energy release rates and stress intensity factors. The p-convergent approach is based on the concept of subparametric element. In assumed displacement field, strain-displacement relations and 3-D constitutive equations of a layer are obtained by combination of 2-D and 1-D higher-order shape functions. In the elements, Lobatto shape functions and Gauss-Lobatto technique are employed to interpolate displacement fields and to implement numerical quadrature. Using the models and techniques considered, effects of composite laminate configuration according to inclined angles and adhesive properties on the performance of bonded composite patch are investigated. In addition to these, the out-of-plane bending effect has been investigated across the thickness of patch repaired laminate plates due to the change of neutral axis. The present model provides accuracy and simplicity in terms of stress intensity factors, stress distribution, number of degrees of freedom, and energy release rates as compared with previous works in literatures.

Recently, the closed landfills are usually converted into parks or playground by the check the stability of landfill because they settle unevenly making them unsuitable for structures. When the closed landfill reuse, environmental and structural stability is important. To increase the bearing capacity and reduce the probable settlement of a foundation on waste disposal ground, a layer of geosynthetics(Geocell) is placed on the waste disposal ground. In this paper, the analysis of long-term settlement parameter correlation was performed, also the evaluation of bearing capacity reinforcement effect was conducted by field test. The settlement measured in the field, and input the same ground index when an integer to identify each model were compared by calculating the settlement. In addition, by adjusting the parameters of each model to identify the most similar to the value of field measurement parameters were calculated. Based on the analysis results, when the using the Park's model C(intermediate) = 0.0678, the expected settlement is similar to the field measurement results. Also, the bearing capacity of geocell reinforced ground is 1.193~1.554 times higher than that of unreinforced ground.

In this study, more economical than conventional reinforced soil retaining walls, we compared the behavior characteristic about the safety block type numerically for reinforced retaining wall. In this study, reinforced soil retaining wall, first, was integrated a wall putting shear key on the blocks. Second, construction reinforcement focused on the theoretical failure surface was satisfied with the stability of a retaining wall reinforced by a shear plane. when analyzing, element of using reinforcement was carried out a numerical analysis for the cable element and the strip element, and they were analyzed under the conditions according to the stiffener length, distance, with or without shear key. Analysis for the integration of the front wall was reinforced soil retaining walls by installing a larger displacement shear key confinement effect, if reinforced construction and reinforcement with 1 interval and 2 interval, the failure surface was bigger displacement constraints. Generating a deformation amount was smaller than the generation amount of deformation accrued during construction of AASHTO so that it was stable.

Geobag method is an eco-friendly method to minimize the impact on the environment in the construction of retaining wall structure as a kind of geosynthetic reinforced retaining walls. In this study, evaluated behavior of full scaled geobag retaining wall about four different types of geobag retaining walls, that is, non-compacted geobags wall, compacted geobag wall, combination of longitudinal and transversal laied geobags wall, gabion and geobag wall were constructed in the field with instrumentation. Based on the results of field measurement, transversal layered geobag wall for non-compacted case was displaced 30% more than that of mixed gabion wall. Also, the more than 2m geobag walls without reinforcement at the backfill area are turned out to be unstable in terms of wall displacement. On the one hand, the distribution of the earth pressure for all geobag retaining walls sites show within the range of Rankine's and Coulomb's earth pressure after construction. But after intensity rainfall, the transversal laied geobag walls significantly increment of soil pressure. The geobag walls which constructed in the way of mixed wall systems such as gabion and geobag, longitudinal and transversal laied geobags are much stable with comparison of transversal laied geobag wall.
