We have analyzed the regional in-situ stress pattern using 460 stress measurement data at about 100 test sites in Korea, and suggested correlation equations of stress-depth and stress ratio-depth. We made Korea Stress Map(KSM) as in-situ stress fields of the Korean peninsula, combining with a paleo-stress analysis according to the geological period and a stress estimation from focal mechanism. We confirmed the reliability and applicability of correlation equations derived in this study, comparing with worldwide stress-depth patterns, and also estimated the pattern of in-situ stress fields of north-eastern Asia including Korea, China and Japan, comparing with World Stress Map.

Korea Stress Map database is built by integrating actual data of 1,400 in-situ stress measurements using hydraulic fracturing and overcoring method in South Korea. Korea Stress Map 2020 is presented based on the guideline proposed by World Stress Map Project. As detailed data, stress ratio and maximum horizontal stress direction distribution for each region are also presented. The dominant maximum horizontal stress direction in the Korean Peninsula is from northeast to southeast, and the magnitude of the in-situ stress is relatively distributed. There is some stress heterogeneity caused by local characteristics such as topographical and geological properties. We investigated case studies in which the in-situ stress was affected by mountainous topography, difference in rock quality of fracture zone, presence of mine or underground cavities, and geological structure of fault zone.

콘크리트의 물리적 특성치인 크리이프, 건조수축, 탄성계수 및 포아슨비등은 배차조건, 부재의 크기, 양생 및 재하조건 등 많은 요소들의 영향을 받고있다. 특히 크리이프와 건조수축은 복잡한 시간의존성 특성(time-dependent properties)으로 인해 아직까지도 이 분야에 대한 연구가 계속되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불확실성이 많은 콘크리트의 장기거동에 따른 물리적 특성규명을 위하여 재하재령을 변화(7, 28, 90, 180, 365일) 시키면서 크리이프, 탄성계수, 포아슨비등을 측정, 분석함으로써 콘크리트 장기거동 예측식을 제시하였으며, 이는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물에서의 시간에 따른 응력손실을 고려한 유효 프리스트레스 응력 산정 및 구조물의 건전성 평가에 실질적 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Although Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion has limitations in that it is a linear criterion and the effect of the intermediate principal stress on failure is ignored, this criterion has been widely accepted in rock mechanics design. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the Hoek-Brown failure criterion was introduced and recently a number of 3-D failure criteria incorporating the effect of the intermediate principal stress on failure have been proposed. However, in many rock mechanics designs, the possible failure of rock mass is still evaluated based on Mohr-Coulomb criterion and most of practitioners are accustomed to understanding the strength of rock mass in terms of the internal friction angle and cohesion. Therefore, if the equivalent Mohr-Coulomb strength parameters of the advanced failure criteria are calculated, it is possible to take advantage of the advanced failure criteria in the framework of the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. In this study, a method expressing the tangential Mohr-Coulomb strength parameters in terms of the stress invariant is proposed and it is applied to the generalized Hoek-Brown criterion and the HB-WW criterion. In addition, a new approach describing the geometric meaning of the ${\sigma}_2$-dependency of failure criteria in 3-D principal stress space is proposed. Implementation examples of the proposed method show that the influence of the intermediate principal stress on the tangential friction angle and cohesion of the HB-WW criterion is considerable, which is not the case for the 2-D failure criterion.

The penetration testing provides 1 dimensional profiles of properties applicable to limited investigation areas, although N-value has been linked to a wide range of geotechnical design parameters based on empirical correlations. The nondestructive test using elastic waves is able to produce 2 or 3 dimensional property maps by inversion process with high efficiency in time and cost. As both N-value and elastic wave velocities share common dominant factors that include void ratio, degree of saturation, and in-situ effective stress, the correlation between the two properties has been empirically proposed by previous studies to assess engineering properties. This study presents the experimentally measured elastic wave velocities of Jumunjin sands under at-rest lateral displacement condition with varying the initial void ratio and degree of saturation. Results show that the stress condition predominantly influences the wave velocities whereas void ratio and saturation determine the stress-velocity tendency. The correlation among the dominant factors is proposed by multiple regression analysis with the discussion of relative impacts on parameters.

최근 우리나라는 집중호우로 인한 토석류의 발생이 현저하게 증가하고 있으며, 2002년 태풍 루사와 2003년 매미 그리고 2006년 7월 집중호우 등으로 인한 피해의 규모는 여러 조사와 문헌에서도 확인할 수 있다. 2011년 7월, 서울 우면산 일대에서는 집중호우로 인한 토석류가 발생하였으며, 16명의 인명손실을 포함한 큰 피해가 있었다. 우면산 토석류는 십여 개 지역에서 동시다발적으로 발생하였으며, 토석류 발생 유역 특성과 토석류의 유동특성을 분석하기 위한 현장 조사가 진행되었다. 조사한 자료에 따르면 우면산 일대의 일일 강우량은 서초 기상측정소를 기준으로 최대 24시간 누적 324mm 그리고 시간당 최대 68.5mm/hr를 기록하였다. 상업용 소프트웨어인 FLO-2D는 유사농도의 함수로서 점성(viscous)응력, 항복(yield)응력, 난류 및 분산(dispersive) 응력항을 포함하는 2차 유변학(quadratic rheology) 모델을 기본으로 사용하여 이류(mudflow)와 토석류(debris flow)를 모의할 수 있다. FLO-2D는 흐름의 운동량 및 에너지 보존을 고려하여 격자와 시간에 관계없이 유동심도, 속도, 압력을 예측할 수 있으며, 격자 기반의 모델로서 GIS 및 기타 응용 프로그램들과 연동이 쉽다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 하상침식에 의해 유발된 토석류의 체적 증가는 고려 할 수 없으므로 토석류의 전파 및 퇴적영역에서의 토석류 모의에만 사용할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 FLO-2D 소프트웨어를 이용하여 우면산에서의 토석류 현상을 재현하는 것이다. 우면산 일대에서 발생한 토석류 중 서초구 방배동의 래미안 아파트 부근에서 발생한 토석류에 대하여 수치지도(DEM)와 현장조사를 통해 얻은 지형자료, 해당 지역의 강우량 및 지질 특성 자료 등을 토대로 FLO-2D 모델을 적용하여 토석류의 흐름특성을 검토한다. 토석류 유동 및 퇴적에 대한 가용한 현장관측 자료와의 비교 분석을 통하여 토석류 특성 값을 산정하고, 모델의 적용성을 검증한다.

This study was implemented to clarify the effect of a supplementary pole on the increment of safety snow-depth for the single-span plastic greenhouses which had been run as standardized facilities for 10 to 15 years till April, 2007. In the previous work, some of the basic ideas of the use of a temporary pole were discussed, but application was restricted to both 2-D and the cases which took rafter's specifications into no consideration, and there was also much less experimental information available. So, by modeling the house as the 3-D frame structure, the present study attempted to provide a comprehensive review of the pole's effect through structural analyses as well as measurements. Structural analyses abnormally revealed that the pole regardless of its interval had a negative effect on the structural stability. The results was certainly inconsistent with practical experience and hence implied a necessity of reinforcing the roof purlin. Accordingly, with the purlin being sufficiently reinforced, the plastic greenhouse with the pole's interval of 3~4 m had two times safety snow-depth more than that of the plastic greenhouse without the pole. And the safety snow-depth of five types of the single-span plastic greenhouses according to the pole's intervals was presented.

In modern rock engineering practice, fully grouted rock bolting is actively employed as a major supporting system, so that understanding the behavior of fully grouted rock bolts is essential for the precise design of rock bolting. Despite its importance, the supporting mechanism of rock bolts has not been fully understood yet. Since most of existing analytical models for rock bolts were developed by drastically simplifying their boundary conditions, they are not suitable for the bolts of in-situ condition. In this study, 3-D elastic FE analysis of fully grouted rock bolts has been conducted to provide insight into the supporting mechanism of the bolt. The distribution of shear and axial stresses along the bolt are investigated with the consideration of different boundary conditions including three different displacement boundary conditions at the bolt head, the presence of intersecting rock joints, and the variation of elastic modulus of adjacent rock. The numerical result reveals that installation of the faceplate at the bolt head plays an important role in mobilizing the supporting action and enhancing the supporting capabilities of the fully grouted rock bolts.

Plate bonding technique has been widely used in strengthening of existing concrete structures, although it has often a serious problem of premature falure such as interface separation and rip-off. However, this premature failure problem has not been well explored yet especially in view of local failure mechanism around the interface of plate ends. The purpose of the present study is, therefore, to identify the local failure of strengthened plates and to derive a separation criterion at the interface of plates. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up. The double lap pull-out tests considering pure shear force and half beam tests considering combined flexure-shear force were performed. The main experimental parameters include plate thickness, adhesive thickness, and plate end arrangement. The strains along the longitudinal direction of steel plates have been measured and the shear stress were calculated from those measures strains. The effects of plate thickness, bonded length, and plate end treatment have been also clarified from the present test results. Nonlinear finite element analysis has been performed and compared with test results. The Interface properties are also modeled to present the separation failure behavior of strengthened members. The cracking patterns as well as maximum failure loads agree well with test data. The relation between maximum shear and normal stresses at the interface has been derived to propose a separation failure criterion of strengthened members. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of externally strengthened flexural member with steel plates.

Since the observation of ground motions in South Korea, liquefaction manifestation was the first to be observed in Pohang earthquake in 2017 with $M_L$ 5.4. Because liquefaction causes ground settlement and lateral spread damaging in-ground or super structures, various researchers have been analyzing the Pohang liquefaction case history to better understand and predict liquefaction consequence and to prevent future disasters. In prior research at the 2018 EESK conference, a map of Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), indicating the severity of liquefaction, in Pohang was created and compared with damage observations. The LPI correlated well with the observations, but the severity categorized by LPI range was significantly higher than the actual observations in most regions. The prior LPI map was created evaluating ground motions using the simplified approach. In this research, we perform the effective site response analyses with porewater pressure generation model for the detailed evaluation of liquefaction on the liquefied sites in Pohang. We found that the simplified approach for LPI evaluation can overestimate the severity.
