Landslides are often triggered by weak interlayers initiated in tailings dam foundations, and hazards gradually occur. This is serious for landslides in high tailings dams due to their high potential energy. Tailing samples with a fine-grained interlayer at a set dip angle were prepared. Consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial shear tests were carried out by using a high-pressure triaxial apparatus. The results were compared with the results under a low confining pressure. Four reasons were summarized for high tailings dams more prone to instability than low dams. The shear strength of the samples with dipping interlayers decreases with increasing dip angle. An obvious straight drop in the stress path after the peak occurs in samples with dipping interlayers at an angle of 60°. The effect of the interlayer on the mechanical behaviour of tailings is very sensitive, especially for the sample with a dipping interlayer at an angle of 60°. Shear slipping along the interlayer should be given more attention in tailings dams. Compared with the results under low confining pressure, the stress decreases continuously for the samples with dipping interlayers at large angles under high confining pressure. The positive pore pressure, which reduces the effective stress, occurred in tailings samples under high confining pressure. The residual strength of tailings under high confining pressure is smaller than that under low confining pressure. These factors increase the dam break risk and the disaster impact for high tailings dams.

A series of cone penetration tests in large calibration chamber were performed to investigate the effect of cementation level, relative density and vertical confining stress on cone resistance. From the experimental results, it was observed that the cone resistance is increased with increasing gypsum content, relative density, and confining stress. The increasing ratio on cone resistance of cemented sand compared with that of uncemented sand, that is IR($q_c$), was increased with increasing gypsum content and relative density, whereas it was decreased as the vertical confining stress increases. It was also observed that the cementation of granular soil influences the behavior of ground at low level of confining stress and its effect is diminished with depth.

In order to study the mechanical properties of rock salt, triaxial compression tests under different temperatures and confining pressure are carried out on rock salt specimens, the influence of temperature and confining pressure on the mechanical properties of rock salt was studied. The results show that the temperature has a deteriorative effect on the mechanical properties of rock salt. With the increase of temperature, the peak stress of rock salt decreases visibly; the plastic deformation characteristics become much obvious; the internal friction angle increases; while the cohesion strength decreases. With the increase of confining pressure, the peak stress and peak strain of rock salt will increase under the same temperature. Based on the test data, the Duncan-Chang constitutive model was modified, and the modified Duncan-Chang rock salt constitutive model considering the effect of temperature and confining pressure was established. The stress-strain curve calculated by the modified model was compared with the stress-strain curve obtained from the test. The close match between the test results and the model prediction suggests that the modified Duncan-Chang constitutive model is accurate in describing the behavior of rock slat under different confining pressure and temperature conditions.

Tests of cylindrical concrete specimens under lateral confining pressure of up to 5,000 psi were conducted for two different axial loading cases: monotonic compression and monotonic tension. The purpose of this experimental investigation is to provide stress-strain characteristics of plain concrete in triaxial stress conditions. Lateral confining pressure levels, loading rates, and strength of concrete specimens are varied as parameters. The loading rates are $34.75$\times$10^{-5}$ in/in/sec for fast, $\times$$6.95x10^{-5}$ in/in/sec for normal. and $0.579$\times$10^{-5}$ in/in/sec for slow loading cases. The concrete specimens used in the experiment have compressive strength of 3,500 psi and 6,500 psi, respectively. Findings of this experiment include dependency of the stress-strain behavior of concrete on the above parameters under two different types of loading conditions. The parametric study includes a series of 106 triaxial tests.

본 연구에서는, 토목섬유의 크리프시험시 온도 및 토목섬유에 가해지는 구속응력을 제어할 수 있도록 고안된 온도제어 구속크리프시험(Temperature Dependent Confined Creep Test)을 수행하였다. 시험결과를 토대로, 시험온도 및 구속응력의 크기가 토목섬유의 크리프특성에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였으며, 장기적인 크리프변위를 예측하기 위하여 시간-온도 중첩원리를 이용한 합성곡선을 작도하여, 1$\times$$10^7$min.(Geomembrane D)∼1$\times$$10^{10}$min.(Geogrid T)까지의 크리프변위를 예측하였다. 본 합성곡선에 의해, 토목섬유에 가해지는 구속하중에 따른 토목섬유의 이동계수(shift factor)를 도출하였다. 온도제어 구속크리프시험은 시트형 지오그리드와 지오멤브레인을 대상으로 하였으며, 시험온도는 5∼4$0^{\circ}C$의 범위로, 구속하중의 크기는 0∼9t/$cm^2$의 범위로 하였다.

불포화토의 함수특성은 구속효과 및 이력현상에 따라 변화한다. 이로 인하여 불포화 지층의 유효응력을 정의할 때, 모관흡수력이 기여하는 효과가 깊이에 따라 변화하거나 침투 및 증발과정에서 상이하게 나타난다. 불포화토의 유효응력은 흡수응력 특성곡선에 근거하여 일반화 할 수 있다. 이러한 일반화를 위해서, 구속응력과 함수특성곡선의 관계를 찾는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 구속응력을 가한 상태에서 압력판 추출시험을 수행하고 건조 및 습윤과정에서 나타나는 함수특성의 이력현상을 획득하였다. 그리고 각 이력과정에 대한 유효 체적함수비와 모관흡수력 관계를 구할 수 있었다. 이로부터 모관흡수력에 따른 흡수응력 특성곡선을 정의할 수 있었다. 또한 삼축시험시 구한 불포화 전단강도로부터, 흡수응력과 유효응력을 모관흡수력으로부터 구할 수 있었다. 함수특성에 근거한 유효응력 파괴규준은 유일하게 나타났으며 포화시 파괴포락선과 일치하였다. 삼축시험으로부터 구한 흡수응력은 대표 함수특성곡선으로부터 구한 것과 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서 각 이력과정에서 구속효과에 대하여 함수특성곡선이 유일하게 정의될 수 있음을 입증하였다.

It is important to estimate the shear strength of shallow compacted soils as a construction material. A series of constant water content triaxial compression (CWCC) tests under low confining state in this study were performed on compacted geomaterials. For establishing a relationship of the shear strengths between saturated and unsaturated states on compacted geomaterials, the suction stresses were derived by two methods: the conventional suction-measured method and the Suction stress-SWRC Method (SSM). Considering the suction stress as an equivalent confining stress component in the (${\sigma}_{net}$, ${\tau}$) plane, it was found that the peak deviator stress states agree well with the failure line of the saturated state from the triaxial compression test when the SSM is applied to obtain the suction stress. On the other hand, the cavitation phenomenon on the measurement of suction affected the results of the conventional suction-measured method. These results mean that the SSM is distinctly favorable for obtaining the suction value in the CWCC test because the SSM is not restricted by the cavitation phenomenon. It is expected that the application of the SSM would reduce the time required, and the projected cost with the additional equipment such as a pore water measuring device in the CWCC test.

공용상태 포장에서 노상토 및 보조기층 재료가 경험하는 구속응력 범위는 150㎪ 이내이다. 따라서 포장 시스템 설계 및 해석에서 낮은 구속응력 단계의 변형특성은 매우 중요한 물성치이다. 실제 포장시공 현장에서 노상토 및 보조기층 재료를 채취하였으며, 낮은 구속응력 단계에서 탄성계수에 대한 구속응력 영향 평가를 위하여 공진주시험(RC) 및 자유단공진주시험(FFRC)을 수행하였다. 흥미롭게, 낮은 구속응력 단계에서는 구속응력과 탄성계수의 관계가 대수공간보다는 선형공간에서 더욱 적합한 관계를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 낮은 구속응력단계에서 구속응력의 탄성계수에 대한 영향을 평가하는 새로운 모델을 제안하였다.

Lateral pressure plays a significant role in the stress-strain relationship of compressed concrete. Concrete's internal cracking resistance, ultimate strain, and axial strength are improved by confinement. This phenomenon influences the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete columns. Utilizing behavior factors to predict the nonlinear seismic responses of structures is prevalent in seismic codes, and this factor plays a vital role in the seismic responses of structures. This study aims to evaluate the confining action on the behavior factor of reinforced concrete moment resisting frames (RCMRFs) with shear walls (SWRCMRFs). To this end, a diverse range of mid-rise SW-RCMRFs was initially designed based on the Iranian national building code criteria. Second, the stress-strain curve of each element was modeled twice, both with and without the confinement phenomenon. Each frame was then subjected to pushover analysis. Finally, the analytical behavior factors of these frames were computed and compared to the Iranian seismic code behavior factor. The results demonstrate that confining action increased the behavior factors of SW-RCMRFs by 7-12%.

매우 낮은 구속응력에서의 모래의 전단강도 및 변형특성은 상대적으로 높은 구속응력의 경우와 매우 상이한 분포를 나타낸다. 따라서 낮은 응력상태를 보이는 지반 위에 놓인 얕은 기초와 제방 등의 안정성, 토석류 혹은 얕은 파괴의 안정성 검토와 실내에서 시행하는 각종 모델시험의 경우 이에 대하여 명확히 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 건조된 주문진 표준사를 대상으로 구속응력을 5kPa~300kPa로 하여 배수 삼축시험을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 내부마찰각(${\phi}$) 및 변형계수($E_s$)가 구속응력(${\sigma}{_c}^{\prime}$)에 따라 크게 변하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 구속응력에 대한 조밀 및 느슨한 모래의 내부마찰각과 변형계수의 상관관계식을 제안하였다.
