Investigation on the compressibility and shear strength of compacted loess is of great importance for the design and operation of engineering infrastructures in filling area. In this study, the mechanical behaviors of Yan'an compacted loess are investigated at various dry densities and water contents by conducting one dimensional compression and direct shear tests. And the elastic compressibility, plastic compressibility, yield stress and strength are obtained from the experiments. Results show that when water content increases, plastic compressibility parameter increases, but yield stress decreases. However, the increase of dry density leads to a decrease in plastic compressibility parameter but an increase in yield stress. In addition, elastic compressibility parameter is found to be a constant which is irrelevant to water content and dry density. As for strength, cohesion and internal friction angle is directly proportional to dry density, but inversely proportional to water content. Moreover, the mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests were also performed to observe the pore size distribution and microstructure of the specimens. Finally, by using results of MIP and SEM tests, the compressibility and strength behaviours of Yan'an compacted loess are explained from the perspective of pore-size distribution and microstructure.

The use of fibers has been commonly considered in engineered cementitious composites, but their behavior with coarse aggregate in concrete has not been studied significantly, which is needed to meet structural performance objectives for design, such as ductility. This research analyzes the behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete with coarse aggregate with 0.62%, 1.23%, and 2% PVA (Polyvinyl-alcohol) content, varying the maximum aggregate size. Tensile (direct and indirect) and compressive concrete tests were performed. The PVA fiber addition in coarse aggregate concrete increased the ductility in compression, especially for the fiber with a larger aspect ratio, with a minor impact on strength. In addition, the tensile tests showed that the PVA fiber increased the tensile strength of concrete with coarse aggregate and, more significantly, improved the ductility. A selected mixture was used to build short and slender reinforced concrete beams to assess the behavior of structural members. PVA fiber addition in short beams changed the failure mode from shear to flexure, increasing the deflection capacity. On the other hand, the slender beam tests revealed negligible impact with the use of PVA.

최근까지 우리나라의 암성토의 침하량을 산정하기 위해 가정된 탄성계수를 이용한 선형탄성해석 외에 다른 방법들이 시도되지 않고 있다. 특히 해상투기된 사석으로 구성된 방파제 구조물의 침하량을 정확히 산정하는 것은 거의 불가능하였다. 이 연구에서는 북제주의 채석장에서 채취한 3조의 다공질의 북제주의 화산암시료에 대해 대형삼축압축시험을 수행하였고 비선형모델을 이용하여 삼축압축시험을 수치해석으로 모사하였다. 실험과 해석에 의한 응력-변형률 거동이 비교되어 사석에 대한 하이퍼볼릭 구성모델의 적용성을 조사하였다. 비교 결과 두 응력-변형률 거동이 잘 일치하므로 하이퍼볼릭 모델은 느슨한 암성토체의 침하량을 산정하는데 적절한 것으로 판단되어진다.

전단보강근이 없는 보의 거동을 이해하기 위하여 서로 다른 트러스 개념으로부터 출발한 두 종류의 해석방법 및 배경이론[압축응력장(MCFT) 및 균열마찰 (CFTM)이론]을 수단으로 콘크리트 기여강도($V_c$)를 구성하는 i)압축지역의 전단응력, ii)균열면의 마찰작용, iii)주근의 장부작용, iv)아치작용 및 최근에 추가된 v)비균열 부위 잔류 인장강도의 상대적인 중요도를 물리적으로 설명하였다. 또한, 두 해석모델의 평가를 위하여, 최근 국내에서 파괴역학 개념의 크기 효과식 개발에 보다 초점을 맞추어 수행된 일련의 고강도 콘크리트보의 실험결과(20개, $f'_c$=53.7Mpa)를 예측하였다. 예측결과에 의하면, 두 해석모델은 a/d비, 주근량 및 보의 춤이 변화함에 따라 관측된 물리적 현상을 정확하게 포착하고 있었으며, 특히 MCFT로부터 얻어낸 보다 자세한 응력 및 변형도 분포 등에 관한 정보는 일련의 추가적인 설명을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만, 보다 완전한 이론적 배경을 지니고 있는 MCFT는 P4.6 및 D915의 파괴하중을 각각 다소 과소 및 과대 평가하는 경향을 나타내고 있어, 주근량 및 크기효과에 대한 보다 완전한 결론을 유도하기 위해서는 추가적인 실험적 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

자연상태의 점성토는 Ko상태로 존재하며 하중재하시 주웅력방향에 따라 다르게 거동하는 이방적 특성을 갖는다. 그러나 실험실에서 점성토의 강도특성을 파악하기 위하여 실시하고 있는 실험은 실용성과 간편성 때문에 등방압밀 삼축시험이 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 정규압밀점성토의 이방적 특성과 압밀방법에 따른 전단특성을 고찰하기 위하여 토괴의 형태로 채취한 불교란 점성토를 등방압밀 또는 Ko압밀시켜 정규압밀상태에 도달하게 한 후 비배수삼축압축과 신장시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 주응력방향에 따른 강도의 이방성을 작인하였다. 등방압 밀은 압밀시 시료에 가해지는 Ko상태보다 높은 평균주응력과 흙의 이방적 구조의 파괴때문에 비 배수강도를 과대평가하며 이방성이 감소하고 응력-변형률과 발생 과잉간극수압이 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었으며, 과압밀점성토의 경우 과압밀비를 감소시킨다. 또한 내부마찰각은 신장시험이 압축시험보다 큰 값을 나타내지만 파괴시의 응력상태를 이용하여 회귀분석한 결과에 따르면 신장시 점착력과 함께 나타나는 내부마찰각은 압축시험과 거의 같은 값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

H-pile can be more easily driven than pipe pile by pile driver and shows high skin friction and plugging effect. And lately It is well grown that the high strength H-pile has been widely used f3r pile foundations. To compare the skin frictions of H piles under different density soil conditions, this paper presents results of a series of model tests on vertically loaded group piles. Model piles made of steel embedded in weathered granite soil were used in this study. Pile arrangements $(2\times2,\;3\tunes3)$, pile space(2D, 4D, 6D), and soil density$(D_r=40\%,\;80\%)$ were tested. The main results obtained from the model tests can be summarized as follows. The series of tests found that compression load for group piles increases as number of piles increase and piles space ratic decrease to $D_r=40\%$ of soil density. The analysis also found that the theoretical value of skin friction for group piles is greater than practical value as piles space ratio increases to $D_r=40\%$ of soil density. Piles showed the greatest difference of the skin friction in case that the pile space ratio(S/D) is 6. The theoretical value by Meyerhof and DM-7 showed 1.83 times and 1.32 times respectively as great as practical value in case of S/D=6 and $2\times2$.

본 연구는 강판-콘크리트로 이루어진 구조의 압축실험을 통해 압축강도 및 비탄성 파괴거동을 파악하기 위한 것이 주목적이다. 강판두께(t)에 대한 스터드 간격(B)비를 세가지(25, 33, 50)로 분류하였고, 이 세가지 B/t를 중심으로 하여 압축강도 실험을 실시하였다. 실험을 통해서 강판-콘크리트 구조의 압축강도는 콘크리트와 강재의 누가방식으로 예측하는 것이 타당하다고 판단되었다. 강판의 좌굴은 스터드와 스터드 사이의 취약한 부분에서 비탄성국부좌굴이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 압축하중 지배하의 비보강 SC 구조물에 대한 압축강도의 경험적 계산치가 제시되었다. 또한 좌굴 양상이 유한요소 분석의 결과와 비교되었다.

Determination of the mechanical behaviour of jointed rock masses has been a challenge for rock engineers for decades. This problem is more pronounced for non-persistent jointed rock masses due to complicated interaction of rock bridges on the overall behaviour. This paper aims to study the effect of a non-persistent joint set configuration on the mechanical behaviour of rock materials under both uniaxial and biaxial compression tests using a discrete element code. The numerical simulation of biaxial compressive strength of rock masses has been challenging in the past due to shortcomings of bonded particle models in reproducing the failure envelope of rock materials. This problem was resolved in this study by employing the flat-joint contact model. The validity of the numerical model was investigated through a comprehensive comparative study against physical uniaxial and biaxial compression experiments. Good agreement was found between numerical and experimental tests in terms of the recorded peak strength and the failure mode in both loading conditions. Studies on the effect of joint orientation on the failure mode showed that four zones of intact, transition to block rotation, block rotation and transition to intact failure occurs when the joint dip angle varies from 0° to 90°. It was found that the applied confining stress can significantly alter the range of these zones. It was observed that the minimum strength occurs at the joint dip angle of around 45 degrees under different confining stresses. It was also found that the joint orientation can alter the post peak behaviour and the lowest brittleness was observed at the block rotation zone.

High temperature uniaxial compression tests in the alpha single phase region were carried out on the Ti -43mo1%Al intermetallic compound, in order to obtain oriented lamellar microstructure. The compression deformation temperatures and strain rates are from 1573k to 1623k and 1.0x10$^{-4}$ s to 5.0x10$^{-3}$ s, respectively. Fully lamellar microstructure was observed after the uniaxial compression deformation in a single phase region followed by cooling to room temperature. Lamellar colony diameter depended on strain rates and test temperatures. The diameter varied between 8601m and 300fm. Stress-strain curve showed a work softening and the size of lamellar colony diameter varied depending on peak stresses. This shows the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization. Texture measurements after the uniaxial compression deformation, showed the development of fiber during dynamic recrystallization. It is seen that the area for the maximum pole density existed in 35 degrees away from the compression plane. The texture sharpens with a decrease in strain rate

This study was conducted to propose the model that is able to predict long-term settlement of sands containing carbonates. We can observe that in addition to the initial elastic compression, a considerable additional compression occurs with long-term period in some sands. The compressibility of sands is significantly dependent on particle characteristics. Some sands have many pores and particularly has an angular shape. To predict of long-term settlement of these sands which contain carbonates, first of all a variety of tests which are to assess chemical, physical and compression characteristics of these sands were conducted. Second, in order to know settlement with time, the time parameter was determined by analyzing the measured data obtained from $\bigcirc\bigcirc$ area. The measured settlement of this area shows that in addition to the initial elastic compression, a considerable additional compression occurring with time. It was caused by the crushing, shattering, and rearrangement of particles, which were real phenomena in sandy soils under loading condition. Based on this case study, we proposed that a simple method is able to predict settlement with time of sandy soil containing carbonates.
