The interaction of cracks and water significantly affects the fracture mechanism of rocks. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted using sandstone samples containing a single fissure to explore the hydro-mechanical behaviors in the failure process of pre-cracked rocks. The internal crack characteristics were also analyzed using X-ray CT scanning. The results show that the confining pressure has the greatest effect on the mechanical properties (e.g., strengths, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio), followed by the fissure inclination and water pressure. At a lower fissure inclination, the confining pressure may control the type main cracks that form, and an increase in the water pressure increases the number of anti-wing cracks and the length of wing cracks and branch cracks. However, the fracture behaviors of samples with a higher fissure inclination are only slightly affected by the confining pressures and water pressures. The effect of fissure inclination on the internal crack area is reduced with the propagation from the fissure tips to the sample ends. The fissure inclination mainly affects the value of permeability but not affect the trend. The impact of pre-existing fissure on permeability is smaller than that of confining pressure and water pressure.

고준위방사성폐기물 심층처분 시, 처분공 주변의 근계암반은 높은 지중응력과 재포화된 벤토나이트 완충재의 팽윤압, 방사성 원소 붕괴열의 영향을 받아 국부적으로 투수계수가 변화될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 유력한 처분 대상 부지 암종 중의 하나인 결정질 경암으로서의 화강암을 대상으로, 실제 처분 환경에서 예상되는 다양한 구속압과 온도 조건을 적용하여 투수계수 변화 특성을 실험적인 방법을 통하여 고찰하고자 하였다. KURT 화강암 시험편 하나당 3개 이상의 정수압 조건에서 투수시험을 수행하여 구속압이 증가함에 따라 투수계수가 지수적으로 감소하는 관계를 도출하였다. 예상 최대 온도로 설정한 90℃ 이하 수준에서는 온도에 의한 투수계수 변화가 무시 가능할 정도로 작음을 확인하였다. 추가로 초기투수계수가 초기공극률의 거듭제곱에 비례하는 상관관계를 도출함으로써, 특정 공극률을 지닌 화강암이 일정 구속압 하에 있을 때 가지는 투수계수 값을 유추할 수 있었다.

The thermomechanical characteristics of rocks such as temperature dependency of strength and deformation were experimentally investigated using Iksan granite, Cheonan tonalite and Chung-ju dolomite for proper design and stability analysis of underground structures subjected to temperature changes. For the temperature below critical threshold temperature $T_c$, the variation of uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, Brazilian tensile strength and cohesion with temperature were slightly different for each rock type, but these mechanical properties decreased at the temperatures above $T_c$ by the effect of thermal cracking. Tensile strength was most affected by $T_c$, and uniaxial compressive strength was least affected by $T_c$. To the temperature of 20$0^{\circ}C$ with the confining prressure to 150 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, failure limit on principal stress plane and failure envelope on $\sigma$-$\tau$ plane of Iksan granite were continuously lowered with increasing temperature but those of Cheonan tonalite and Chung-ju dolomite showed different characteristics depending on minor principal stress on principal stress plane and normal stress on $\sigma$-$\tau$ plane. The reason for this appeared to be the effect of rock characteristics and confining pressure. Young's modulus was also temperature and pressure dependent, but the variation of Young's modulus was about 10%, which was small compared to the variation of compressive strength. In general, Young's modulus increased with increasing confining pressure and increased or decreased with increasing temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$ depending on the rock type.

The compression anchor is characterized by decrement of progressive failure, simple site work, economy and durability compared with tension anchor. In this paper, compression anchor is analysed through the laboratory element tests. The formula to be estimate the grout strength in fixed part of compression anchor and the effective reinforcement method for several types of soil were suggested. The following conclusions were made from this study : (1) A formula, which is able to calculate the grout strength in the fixed part of the compression anchor, is suggested. (2) The strength increment ratios( $R_{si}$) are 100％, 132％, 147％, 217％ according to the reinforcement method of grout. The reinforcement method is Non, Outside spiral, Inside-Outside spiral, Steel pipe, respectively. (3) The strength increment ratios( $R_{si}$) by reinforcing can be 8.23 times the strength increment effect according to the reinforcement types and ground confining pressure. (4) The steel pipe reinforcement is most effective in decomposed soil while, in the case of hard rock ground, high confining pressure is exerted on the grout, so there is no need to use reinforcements.

대부분의 선행연구는 동결 삼축압축시험 수행 시, 몰드를 사용하여 시료를 조성하고 단방향으로 동결을 진행하였다. 이는 동결된 시료에 잔류응력이 발생할 가능성이 있기 때문에 인공동결공법이 적용된 지반을 모사하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 시험방법의 한계를 보완할 수 있는 시험장비 및 시험방법을 제안하고, 제안된 방법으로 온도 및 구속압력에 따른 동결 사질토의 역학적 특성을 평가하였다. 동결온도가 낮아질수록 동결 사질토는 취성이 증가하였고, 부동수분의 감소 및 얼음자체의 강도 증가로 인하여 강도가 증가하였다. 구속압력의 증가는 강도저감 효과를 발생시키는 압력융해 현상과 강도증진 효과를 발생시키는 흙 입자의 마찰력 증가 모두를 야기하였다. 이처럼 동결 사질토의 역학적 거동은 구속압력과 동결온도의 복합적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

A series of consolidated undrained triaxial tests for compacted short fiber reinforced clay were performed to increase the field applications, e.g. retaining wall, waste landfill, soft ground etc. of soil admixtures mixed with short fiber. Kaolin clay and three types of fiber were selected. To acquire reliable length of fibers, an auto cutter was used and a helical mixer was also used to avoid floating of fibers during mixing soil and fibers. It is found that reinforcing effect by aspect ratio and mixing ratio of short fiber decreases as confining pressure is increased. Reinforcing effect has a maximum value at the aspect ratio of 120 and the fiber content of 0.6%∼1.2% and low confining pressure like 50kPa.

Triaxial compression tests were run to study on the undrained strength characteristics of fiber mixed kaolin clay(Hadong). The influence of various test parameters such as amount and aspect ratio(ratio of length to diameter) of fiber, confining stress was also investigated. Test results showed that the increase in aspect ratio was increased in deviator stress at failure, but no effect on pore water pressure at failure. Deviator stress at failure was also increased at 0.5％ mixing ratio(weight fraction of fiber to that of soil solid) of fiber but it was, thereafter, decreased and wits reached to constant after 2％ mixing ratio. On the contrary, Pore water pressure at failure was increased as mixing ratio of fiber was greater than 1%. Deviator stress and pore water pressure of both clay and fiber mixed clay(FMC) at failure were increased as confining stress was increased. Deviator stress of FMC at failure was about 10％ larger than that of clay, but pore water pressure of FMC at failure was almost similar to that of clay.

To overcome the dilemma of the [BQ] method's inability to predict mountain tunnel support loads, this study is based on the Hoek-Brown criterion and previous results to obtain the connection equations from GSI scores to each parameter of the Hoek-Brown criterion and the link between the [BQ] scores and the GSI system. The equations were embedded in the Hoek-Brown criterion of FLAC6.0 software to obtain tunnel construction forecasts without destroying the in-situ stratigraphy. The feasibility of the secondary development of the Hoek-Brown criterion was verified through comparative analysis with field engineering measurements. If GSI > 45 with a confining pressure of less than 10 MPa, GSI has little effect on the critical softening factor while we should pay attention to the parameter of confining pressure when GSI < 45. The design values for each parameter are closer to the FLAC3D simulation results and the secondary development of the Hoek-Brown criterion meets the design objectives. If the Class V surrounding rock is thinned with shotcrete or the secondary lining is installed earlier, the secondary lining may act as the main load-bearing structure. The study may provide ideas for rapid prediction of mountainous tunnels in China.

An experimental study has been carried out on square plain concrete (PC) and reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. A total of 78 specimens were loaded to failure in axial compression and investigated in both axial and transverse directions. Slenderness of the columns, number of wrap layers and concrete strength were the test parameters. Compressive stress, axial and hoop strains were recorded to evaluate the stress-strain relationship, ultimate strength and ductility of the specimens. Results clearly demonstrate that composite wrapping can enhance the structural performance of square columns in terms of both maximum strength and ductility. On the basis of the effective lateral confining pressure of composite jacket and the effective FRP strain coefficient, new peak stress equations were proposed to predict the axial strength and corresponding strain of FRP-confined square concrete columns. This model incorporates the effect of the effective circumferential FRP failure strain and the effect of the effective lateral confining pressure. The results show that the predictions of the model agree well with the test data.
