회전관입형 말뚝은 말뚝설치 시 주변 흙의 변위가 발생하는 변위 말뚝으로 큰 지지력 및 인발력을 발휘할 수 있다. 또한 비배토 공법으로 슬라임이 발생하지 않고 시공 중 소음, 진동이 작아 환경친화적인 특성이 있어 외국의 경우 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 말뚝을 직접적으로 항타하는 항타말뚝, 선굴착 후 기 제작된 말뚝을 지중에 매입하는 매입말뚝이 주로 적용되고 있으며 회전관입형 말뚝의 사용은 제한적으로 이루어지고 있다. 지금까지 실시된 대부분의 실내시험에서는 말뚝을 설치한 후 지반을 조성하여 지지거동을 평가함에 따라 회전관입형 말뚝의 회전관입과정으로 인한 지지거동의 규명은 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 풍화토를 대상으로 회전관입과정을 모사한 실내실험을 실시하여 풍화토에 대한 지지력 거동을 평가하고자 하였으며, 더불어 나선형 판의 직경, 나선형 판의 간격, 나선형판의 개수, 나선형 판의 제원 등을 변화시켜가며 지지 거동을 평가하였다. 연구결과를 통하여 나선형 강관말뚝의 지지력 평가 결과 및 주요 제원에 따른 지지력 변화와 기존이론과의 비교분석 결과를 제시하였다.

해상풍력발전기는 바람 및 파도, 구조물 자중에 의해 수직-수평-모멘트의 복합하중을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석으로 사질토 지반에 설치된 해상풍력발전기 석션기초의 복합하중에 대한 지지력을 산정하였다. 또한 복합하중이 작용하는 중의 석션기초 주변 지반의 응력상태를 상세하게 분석하였다. 최종적으로 유한요소해석 결과를 토대로 수평 및 모멘트 지지력 산정식과 복합하중에 대한 안전성을 평가하는 지지력 포락선 식을 제안하였다.

Base-isolated nuclear power plant (BI-NPP) structures are founded on expanded basemat as a flexible floating nuclear island, are still lacking the recommendation of the consideration of incoherent motion effect. The effect of incoherent earthquake motion on the seismic response of BI-NPP structure has been investigated herein. The incoherency of the ground motions is applied by using an isotropic frequency-dependent spatial correlation function to perform the conditional simulation of the reference design spectrum compatible ground motion in time domain. Time history analysis of two structural models with 486 and 5 equivalent lead plug rubber bearing (LRB) base-isolators have been done under uniform excitation and multiple point excitation. two different cases have been considered: 1) Incoherent motion generated for soft soil and 2) Incoherent motion generated for hard rock soil. The results show that the incoherent motions reduce acceleration and the lateral displacement responses and the reduction is noticeable at soft soil site and higher frequencies.

Seismic base isolation has been accepted as one of the most popular design procedures to protect important structures against earthquakes. However, due to lack of information and experimental data the application of base isolation is quite limited to nuclear power plant (NPP) industry. Moreover, the effects of inelastic behavior of soil beneath base-isolated NPP have raised questions to the effectiveness of isolation device. This study applies the wavelet analysis to investigate the effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the seismic response of a base-isolated NPP structure. To evaluate the SSI effects, the NPP structure is modelled as a lumped mass stick model and combined with a soil model using the concept of cone models. The lead rubber bearing (LRB) base isolator is used to adopt the base isolation system. The shear wave velocity of soil is varied to reflect the real rock site conditions of structure. The comparison between seismic performance of isolated structure and non-isolated structure has drawn. The results show that the wavelet analysis proves to be an efficient tool to evaluate the SSI effects on the seismic response of base-isolated structure and the seismic performance of base-isolated NPP is not sensitive to the effects in this case.

This paper studies the swelling and strength characteristics of unimproved and improved expansive soils in terms of the swell potential, swelling pressure, rate of secondary swelling, unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio (CBR). The admixtures used in this study are locally available cement and fly ash. The soils used in this study were taken from the Mae Moh power plant, Lampang Province, in northern Thailand. A conventional consolidation test apparatus was used to determine the swelling of the soil specimen. The optimum admixture contents are determined to efficiently reduce the swelling of unimproved soil. The rate of secondary swelling for unimproved soil is within the range of highly plastic montmorillonite clay, whereas the specimens improved with optimum admixture contents can be classified as non-swelling kaolinite. A soil type affects the swelling pressure. Expansive soil improvement with fly ash alone can reduce swelling percentage but cannot enhance the unconfined compressive strength and CBR. The strength and swelling characteristics can be predicted well by the swelling percentage in this study.

In order to increase seismic performance of nuclear power plant (NPP) in strong seismic zone, lead-rubber bearing (LRB) can be applied to seismic isolation system of NPP structures. Simple equivalent linear model as structural analysis model of LRB is more widely used in initial design process of LRB than a bilinear model. Seismic responses for seismically isolated NPP containment structures subjected to earthquakes categorized into 5 different soil-site classes are calculated by both of the equivalent linear- and bilinear- LRB models and compared each others. It can be observed that the maximum displacements of LRB and shear forces of containment in the case of the equivalent linear LRB model are larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model. From the seismic fragility curves of NPP containment structures isolated by LRB, it can be observed that seismic fragility in the case of equivalent linear LRB model are about 5~30 % larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model.

In order to modeling seismic isolation system such as lead-rubber bearing (LRB), bilinear model is widely used by many researchers. In general, an actual force-displacement relationship for LRB has a smooth hysteretic shape. So, Bouc-Wen model with smooth hysteretic shape represents more accurately actual hysteretic shape than bilinear model. In this study, seismic responses for seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) with LRB modelled by Bouc-Wen and bilinear models are compared with those of NPP without seismic isolation system. To evaluate effect of earthquake characteristics for seismic responses of NPP isolated by LRB, 5 different site class earthquakes distinguished by Geomatrix 3rd Letter Site Classification and artificially generated earthquakes corresponding to standard design spectrum by Reg. Guide 1.60 are used as input earthquakes. From the seismic response results of seismically isolated NPP, it can be observed that maximum displacements of seismic isolation modelled by Bouc-Wen model are larger than those by bilinear model. Seismic responses of NPP with LRB is significantly reduced than those without LRB. This reduction effect for seismic responses of NPP subjected to Site A (rock) earthquakes is larger than that to Site E (soft soil) earthquakes.

The estimation of soil stabilization is of great importance concerning the construction of structures on weak soil. A typical model of soil stabilization is considered as replacement, which is based on ground at failure due to direct loading on weak soil. The calculation of the line of predicting settlement was carried out using RPL and DIKE programs. The DIKE program is showing a tendency to excel totally about this embankment of the seadike. Hereafter, This program will be contributed widely to the construction of offshore structures on weak soil.

Using radioactive $^{40}K$ in potassium, a study was conducted to evaluate the potassium supplying power of different soil types developed on different parent materials. A conversion factor based on two parameters namely $\frac{available\;K_{soil}}{total\;K_{soil}}$ and $\frac{K_{plant}}{K_{soil}}$ was developed and found to be closely related to plant response. According to this characterization soils derived from the various parent materials were ranked as basalt >Silla series>gneiss>porphyry>granite${\gg}$schist. From the point of view of potassium response as measured by yield as similar response pattern was observed. That is, soils derived from basalt to be most responsive as compared to the other soils. The variations among the soils may be accounted for to their potassium bearing mineralogical composition and their stability.

최근 들어 산업부산물인 저회를 지반 매립재로 활용하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 5개 사에서 채취된 저회와 풍화토 혼합하여, 3가지 저회의 혼합비 (30%, 50%, 70%)에 따른 다짐실험, CBR 실험 및 삼축 압축실험 등이 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 저회를 혼입한 혼합토의 CBR값은 20을 상회하였으며, 소성을 보이지 않아 성토재료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다. 혼합토에 사용된 저회의 역학적 성능이 풍화토보다 우수하므로, 혼합비가 증가할수록 혼합토의 CBR값은 뚜렷한 증가를 나타내었다. 그러나, 배합후 입자배열에는 큰 영향을 주지 못하므로, 혼합비에 따른 내부마찰각 및 점착력의 변화는 뚜렷하게 평가되지 못했다. 저회는 시료 자체의 강성이 있으므로, 지지력이 풍화토에 비하여 크게 평가되었으며, 성토재료로서의 활용할 수 있음을 실험적으로 규명하였다.
