본 논문에서는 원심모형시험을 이용한 국제공동연구인 LEAP-2017의 결과를 이용하여 액상화 수치모델의 거동에 대한 검증을 실시하였다. 동적원심모형시험은 Ottawa F-65모래로 수면 아래 조성된 경사각 5°의 지반에 1Hz 테이퍼형 사인파를 가진하여 시행되었다. 원심모형시험의 원형스케일로 모델링 된 수치해석 모델은 유한차분법을 이용한 2차원 및 3차원 해석을 시행하였다. 수치해석의 검증은 깊이별 가속도와 간극수압 시간이력, 잔류변위에 대해 이루어 졌다. 검증결과, 모든 모델에서 시험과 유사한 가속도 시간이력을 나타내었으나, 일부모델이 나타내는 간극수압의 변화는 시험결과와 차이를 나타내었다. 수치해석결과로 나타난 액상화 후 잔류변위는 원심모형시험 대비 매우 작은 크기로 확인되어, 이에 대해서는 추후 LEAP-2017에 참여한 다른 기관의 시험결과와 비교분석이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다.

In geotechnical engineering, the mechanical characteristics of soil, the main material of geotechnical engineering, is highly related to the confining stress. Reduced-scale physical modeling is often conducted to evaluate the performance or to verify the behavior of the geotechnical systems. However, reduced-scale physical modeling cannot replicate the behavior of the full-scale prototype because the reduced-scale causes difference of self weight stress level. Geotechnical centrifuges are commonly used for physical model tests to compensate the model for the stress level. Physical modeling techniques using centrifuge are widely adopted in most of geotechnical engineering fields these days due to its various advantages. In this paper, fundamentals of geotechnical centrifuge modeling and its application area are explained. State-of-the-art geotechnical centrifuge equipment is also described as an example of KOCED geotechnical centrifuge facility at KAIST.

Recently, centrifuge tests have been widely used as tools in geotechnical engineering researches in domestic and foreign. However, the size of these centrifuge facilities is very large and thus the tests require for long time, high expense, and many labors. In this study, therefore, a small size of instructional centrifuge, which can conduct tests in a short period of time effectively, was introduced. This centrifuge facility introduced in here was developed for geotechnical engineering education for graduate and undergraduate students. The slope stability model having $65^{\circ}$ slope formed with clay was used to investigate the application of the instructional centrifuge by considering experimental procedures and results.

In order to verify the reliability of numerical site response analysis program, both soil free-field and base rock input motions should be provided. Beside the field earthquake motion records, the most effective testing method for obtaining the above motions is the dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test. However, need is to verify if the motion recorded at the base of the soil model container in the centrifuge facility is the true base rock input motion or not. In this paper, the appropriate input motion measurement method for the verification of seismic response analysis is examined by dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test and using three-dimensional finite difference analysis results. From the results, it appears that the ESB (equivalent shear beam) model container distorts downward the propagating wave with larger magnitude of centrifugal acceleration and base rock input motion. Thus, the distortion makes the measurement of the base rock outcrop motion difficult which is essential for extracting the base rock incident motion. However, the base rock outcrop motion generated by using deconvolution method is free from the distortion effect of centrifugal acceleration.

본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 설치한 원형수직터널에서 아칭효과를 고려한 토압의 거동 특성을 분석하기 위해 실제의 응력상태를 재현할 수 있는 원심모형실험(centrifuge model test)을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 직경 6.0m, 높이 15.0m의 원형수직터널을 대상으로 축소모형 실험체를 제작하였으며, 중력장 75G를 가속하여 2회 반복실험을 수행하였다. 더불어, 지반굴착에 따른 토압의 거동특성과 크기를 분석하기 위하여 모형 수직터널 벽체를 2단으로 분리하여 굴착효과를 모사하였으며, 그 결과를 선행연구에서 제안한 이론토압식과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 원형수직터널에 작용하는 토압은 기존의 2차원(Ko) 토압에 비해 약 70% 가까이 전토압이 저감되는 효과가 관찰되었으며, 이는 3차원 아칭효과에 의해 토압이 경감된 것으로 판단된다.

This research is to investigate the self-weight consolidation settlement and desiccation shrinkage settlement of soft marine dredging clay by performing numerical and experimental works. Large column test were carried out investigate the consolidation settlement considering effect of the self-weight and desiccation shrinkage, and centrifuge model test was also carried out investigate self-weight consolidation settlement. Results of centrifuge model and large column experiments about changes of settlement with time were analyzed by using the numerical technique of explicit finite difference method considering effect of the self-weight and desiccation based on the finite strain consolidation theory. Centrifuge model test results were in relatively good agreements with analyzed results in terms of self-weight consolidation settlement with time. Large column test results showed quite different values from the numerically estimated one, carried by experimental conditions.

As the number of CFRD constructions increases, the necessity of an accurate assessment on its behavior also has been increasing accordingly. The performance of concrete faced rockfill dam (CFRD) under different water levels is greatly concerned by dam engineers and designers in the world. However, domestic research on CFRD design and construction has yet been insignificant. This study deals with three centrifuge model tests, mainly investigates the deformation of the concrete faced slabs with different face slab stiffness under different water levels. The prototype of a centrifugal model dam is half size of domestic CFRD dam. Detailed material preparation, model design, model set-up, model instrumentation and testing procedures are presented. In order to simulate the prototype concrete faced slab, three kinds of thin fiberglass plates with different thickness was adopted in the three model tests. The water level control facility was specially designed for this experiment to control the water level rise and drawdown during centrifuge flight. Although most of the results from the three model tests are satisfactory, it is also required that the centrifuge test results should be compared with those of numerical analysis and field measurements to analyze the centrifuge test results more in detail.

The centrifuge model test is usually used for two-dimensional deformation and instability study of the soil slopes. As a typical loose slope, the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill is easy to slide with large deformation, under high water levels or large earthquakes. A series of centrifuge model tests of landfill slide induced by rising water level and earthquake were carried out. The particle image velocimetry (PIV), laser displacement transducer (LDT) and marker tracer (MT) methods were used to measure the deformation of the landfill under different centrifugal accelerations, water levels and earthquake magnitudes. The PIV method realized the observation of continuous deformation of the landfill model, and its results were consistent with those by LDT, which had higher precision than the MT method. The deformation of the landfill was mainly vertically downward and increased linearly with the rising centrifugal acceleration. When the water level rose, the horizontal deformation of the landfill developed gradually due to the seepage, and a global slide surface formed when the critical water level was reached. The seismic deformation of the landfill was mainly vertical at a low water level, but significant horizontal deformation occurred under a high water level. The results of the tests and analyses verified the applicability of PIV in the two-dimensional deformation measurement in the centrifuge model tests of the MSW landfill, and provide an important basis for revealing the instability mechanism of landfills under extreme hydraulic and seismic conditions.
