Mode I fracture toughness ( $K_{IC}$) of the frozen rocks and that of the frozen-thawed rocks were obtained by using BDT and CCNBD specimens. The test temperatures ranged from +$25^{\circ}C$ to -16$0^{\circ}C$. Wet and air-dry specimens of granite and sandstone were used in order to investigate the effect of water and porosity on fracture toughness. The SEM images of the frozen-thawed rocks were also analysed to check the density of thermal cracks. The $K_{IC}$ of the frozen rocks increased as the test temperature went down. The rate of increase was higher in wet condition than in dry condition and the rate of increase for wet granite was higher than that for wet sandstone. The $K_{IC}$ of the frozen-thawed rocks varied within 15% from the $K_{IC}$ of the rocks at room temperature. After one freeze-thaw process, thermal crack occurred in granite but no thermal cracks occurred in sandstone. And the crack density was increased as the temperature went down.n.

The limit equilibrium method (LEM) is commonly used for slope design and stability analysis because it is easy to simulate slope and requires short calculating time. However, LEM cannot adequately simulate ploughing failure in a footwall slope with a joint set dipping parallel with slope, e.g. bedding joint set. This study performed parametric study to analyze the influence factors on ploughing failure using UDEC which is a commercial two-dimensional DEM (Distinct Element Method)-based numerical program. The influence of joint structure and properties on stability of a footwall slope against ploughing failure was investigated, and the factor of safety was estimated using the shear strength reduction method. It was found that the stability of footwall slope against ploughing failure strongly relies on dip angle of conjugate joint, and the critical bedding joint spacing and the critical length of slab triggering ploughing failure are also affected by dip angle of conjugate joint. The results obtained from this study can be used for effective slope design and construction including reinforcement.

최근 급격한 산업사회의 발달로 인해 전력기기의 종류와 설치개수가 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 수많은 고전압 전력기기의 운용으로 인해 발생되는 온실가스는 지구온난화와 같은 환경파괴를 유발시키는 등의 문제를 발생시키고 있다. 고전압 전력기기의 전기적 절연을 위해 주로 사용되는 SF6와 같은 기체 절연체는 온실가스를 유발시키며, 현재 여러 나라에서는 고전압 전력기기로부터 방출되는 CO2의 양을 최소화하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 일본 교토에서 180여개의 국가가 온실가스 감축의 의무를 나누고자 교토의정서를 채택하였고, 온실가스를 유발하는 SF6를 대체할 수 있는 친환경 기체 절연체에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 그 중에서도 본 연구에서는 친환경 기체 절연체인 Dry-air의 절연파괴와 부분방전 개시전압 특성을 분석하였다. 다양한 구 전극의 크기와 전극 사이 간격 조건에서 AC 절연파괴 및 부부방전 개시전압에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 유한요소해석을 통해 산출한 전계 이용률을 고려하여 절연파괴와 부분방전 개시전압에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 구 전극의 크기와 전극 사이 간격이 증가할수록 절연파괴와 부분방전 개시전압의 크기가 커지는 것을 알 수 있으며, 부분방전이 먼저 개시되고 절연파괴로 이어는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 전계 이용률이 0.52 이상에서는 부분방전이 개시되지 않고 곧바로 절연파괴로 이어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Composite materials have been used in aerospace industry and many applications because of many advantages such as specific strength and stiffness and corrosion resistance etc. However, it is vulnerable to impacts, these impact lead to formation of cracks in composite laminate and failure of structures. In this paper, we analyzed Mode I fracture toughness of Carbon/Epoxy laminates using acoustic emission signal. DCB test was carried out to analyze Mode I failure characterization of Carbon/Epoxy laminates, and AE sensor was attached to measure AE signal induced by failure of specimen. Fracture toughness was calculated using cumulative AE energy and measured crack length using camera. The calculated fracture toughness was applied in FE model and the result of FE analysis compared with DCB test results. The results show good agreement with between FEM and DCB test results.

In this study, numerical analysis is performed to determine highly influential factors that increase the possibility of asphalt road collapse due to cavity underneath the road. The considered influence factors on road collapse due to underground cavity were the asphalt layer thickness, the cover depth, the cavity width, and the cavity height. The concentrated load and uniform distributed pressure were applied on the top surface of asphalt pavement layers with different shape of cavity and asphalt thickness. For each analysis case of given cavity and asphalt thickness, failure load was analyzed under displacement controlled condition. Based on the analyzed failure loads, the applicability of the cavity management system developed by Seoul city was evaluated. As a result of the analysis, the effect of cavity height on road collapse was not significant while the other factors considerably influenced road collapse. Consequently, degree of road collapse susceptibility should be classified by failure load rather than by the condition of existing cavity.

In analysis of slope stability, deterministic analysis which yields a factor of safety has been used until recently. However, probability of failure is considered as a more efficient method because it deals with the uncertainty and variability of rock mass. In both methods, a factor of safety or a probability of failure is calculated for a slope although characteristics of rock mass, such as characteristics of joints, weathering degree of rock and so on, are not uniform throughout the slope. In this paper, we divided a model slope into several zones depending on conditions of rock mass and joints, and probabilities of failure in each zone are calculated and compared with that calculated in whole slope. The persistence of joint was also used as a parameter in calculation of probability of failure. A rock slope located in Hongcheon, Gangwondo was selected and the probability of failure using zoning and persistence as parameter was calculated to confirm the applicability of model analysis.

This paper described that the failure causes of reinforced slope are analyzed based on the effect of geological and rainfall. The analysis result confirmed that the rainfall has effects on the stability of reinforced slope. Therefore, it was applied to the dewatering method using collector well for slope stabilized, and then the analysis of seepage and slope stability were conducted on slope with the applied method. The results of seepage analysis are corresponded with failure cause by rainfall and the results of slope stability, which is applied to dewatering method, are satisfied with safety factor criterion. Therefore, it confirmed that the dewatering method using collector could be possible to apply in field and reasonable method for slope stabilized during heavy rainfall.

The failure of footing generally involves the concentration of deformation into one or more narrow bands. With the displacement of the footing, the failure plane will subsequently form The purpose of this paper is to assess the capabilities of numerical techniques to predict bearing capacity and progressive failure of footings. By using the method of large deformation theory and strain softening we have investigated the progressive failure of strip footing on undrained clay. This paper describes the procedure to predict the entire loadfisplacement curve and the failure mechanism of strip footing. The presented results show that it is Possible to analyze the Post Peak behavior of strip footing numerically and to give a progressive failure mechanism clearly.

In this paper, fracture behavior of laminated composites with notch was studied by cohesive zone modeling approach. The numerical modeling proceeded by first generating 3 dimensional solid element meshes for notched laminated composite coupon configurations. Then cohesive elements representing failure modes of fiber fracture, matrix cracking and delamination were inserted between bulk elements in all regions where the corresponding failures were likely to occur. Next, progressive failure analyses were performed simulating uniaxial tensile tests. The numerical results were compared to those by experiment available in the literature for verification of the analysis approach. Finally, notched laminated composite configurations with selected stacking sequences were analyzed and the failure behavior was carefully examined focusing on the failure initiation and progression and the dominating failure modes.
