The objective of the present research is to evaluate the wave propagation velocity and attenuation characteristics of kaolin clay specimens using ultrasonic testing. Test specimens with known initial micro-fabric were prepared using a two-stage slurry consolidation technique. For a known state of stress conditions, initial void ratio, and micro-fabric, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the longitudinal wave propagation velocity and associated damping behavior. The effects of major variables involved in ultrasonic testing of cohesive soil were considered in this study. Ultrasonic velocity was not correlated to the microfabric structure under the given consolidated pressure whereas ultrasonic attenuation was affected by the microstructural properties of the specimen.

This paper describes a Push-Pull type high frequency resonant inverter composed of consolidation of boost converter circuit and resonant inverter circuit. By using a boost converter circuit, the proposed inverter can obtain a twice input voltage of resonant circuit and reduce a secondary turn ratios. also, by using both switching device of boost-converter and resonant circuit, the number of switching device can be reduced by half, the analysis of the proposed circuit was generally described by using normalized parameter and operating characteristics have been evaluated as to switching frequency and parameters. In the future, this proposed inverter shows that is can be practically used as a power source system for the lighting equipment of discharge lamp, induction heating applications.

Consciousness is really regarded as too ambiguous a concept to be understood and accepted as a mental construct without the inclusion of memory and attention in any conceptualization. However we need one criterion to count satisfactorily as an explanation of consciousness in information processing. An operational working definition of consciousness could be made in comparison of memory and attention: Consciousness would be a subjective awareness of momentary experience and also have the characteristics of an operating system performing control and consolidation information processing. This could be called a cognitive consciousness. It is possible that some distinctions between consciousness, memory and attention can be made conceptually and functionally from the perspectives of information processing.

Paper has fibers and fines network structure and it is strongly affected by interface bonding between fibers. Depending on the inter-fiber bonding, paper bulk is determined. Fines play an important roll in Campbell and consolidation effect through wet pressing and drying operations. Refined Sw-BKP, Hw-BKP and BCTMP fines were used to investigate the fines effect. Wet-web strength, breaking length, scattering coefficient, and hydrodynamic specific volume were measured. According to the result of experiments, chemical and morphological compositions of fines do not strongly affect to wet-web forming, but strongly affect to drying operations which form hydrogen bonding among fiber-fines-fiber matrixes. Paper bulk should be controlled by the extent of hydrogen bonding between fibers during drying operations.

During this study, constant stress ratio tests with previous compression anisotropic stress history are performed on compacted decomposed granite soil sampled at Iksan, Jeonbuk. Yielding points are determined from stress-strain curves. The shape and characteristics of compression anisotropic yield curves is examined. In addition, the measured value of yielding curve and stress-strain behavior is predicted by Yasufuku's anisotropic constitutive model based on non-associated flow rule. The main results are summarized as follows : 1) Shape of yielding curves shows almost ellipse but asymmetry with respect to stress path during previous consolidation stress. 2) Yasufuku's anisotropic constitutive model is suitable in evaluation of yielding curves on anisotropic consolidated decomposed granite soil. 3) The predicted stress-strain curve shows reasonable agreement to measured behaviours.

This paper is a study on the improvement effects by quick lime pile through theoretical analysis and in-situ construction test. Effects of strength increase is studied to verify the improvement effects of soft ground arounding quick lime pile. First, engineering characteristics of quick lime and ground was studied, in the second place, laboratory test(consolidation test, triaxial compression test) and in-situ test(portable cone penetration test, vane test) were peformed for verification of strength increase of adjacent ground. Finally, the results of in-situ test were compared with those of theorecal study. From in-situ test results, strength at 28th curing days(6.11-6.55t/㎡) was twice as great as strength before improvement(3.06t/㎡) and was slightly greater than theoretical value(4.95t/㎡).

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the feasibility of using the stabilized sludge, as a backfill and cutoff-water materials for embanckment structures. for stabilizing of sludge, hydrated lime and quick lime was used as additive , and a series of tests was performed on the sludge and the stabilized sludge to examine their physical properties, compaction, compressive strength, hydraulic conducivity and consolication characteristics. From the test results, the physical and mechanical properteis of the stabilized sludge weremore improved as compared with the sludge. Especially from the viewpoint of physical porperty , consolidation or settlement and cutoff-water , quick lime is more effective than the hydraged lime as tabilizatio addtivie. But , viewpoint of compaction and shear strength, hydrated lime is more effective than the quick lime as stabilization additive. As a result of this study, it was founded that the stabilized sludge can be developed the backfill and cutoff-water materials , improved the stabilizing method of sludge.

Soft ground has complex features in mechanic character of ground. Some problems about the settlement and transformation occur if the ground strength is comparatively weak and the depth is large. Therefore, we should consider physical and mechanical characters for safe, economical design and management. As the result of the course, we can compare them with those of field then solve the limitations which were came from the complex character of the soft ground. I have considered the soil's physical character (specific gravity of soil particles, moisture content, grain-size analysis etc) and mechanical character (direct shear test, consolidation, triaxial shear test etc), and then make out a linear interpolation by regression using the two, those and connection of the depth

본 논문에서는 경남 양산지역의 퇴적층에서 채취한 불교란 시료를 이용하여 표준압밀시험($IL_{CON}$)과 일정변형률(CRS, Constant Rates of Strain) 압밀시험을 수행한 후 각각의 시험결과를 분석하여 양산점토의 투수특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 투수계수와 간극비의 관계를 Kozeny(1927)와 Carman(1956) 이후 제안된 많은 연구결과와 비교, 검토하였으며, 시료를 연직방향으로 성형하여 CRS 시험을 수행한 후 횡방향투수계수를 산정하여 양산점토의 투수계수의 이방성을 살펴보았다. CRS시험 결과, 직접적으로 정상류를 발생시켜 누수계수를 측정하는 Rowe cell 시험에 비하여 상대적으로 투수계수의 이방성이 과소평가되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 현장 투수계수에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 살펴보고, 깊이에 따른 투수계수를 고찰하였다.다.

본 연구에서는 2단계 확정예정부지의 일부 원지반에서 수행된 CPTu(piezocone penetration test)와 DMT(dilatometer) 및 실내시험 결과를 바탕으로 흙의 분류, 비배수전단강도 그리고 압밀계수 등의 공학적 특성을 살펴보았다. CPTu와 DMT를 이용한 흙의 분류 결과, 점토층 사이에 얇게 산재한 샌드심(sand seam)층을 보다 정확하게 판정할 수 있었다. 삼축압축시험의 비배수 강도($S_{u}$ )를 기준으로 산정한 콘계수는 CPTu의 경우 $N_{k}$ =18.2를, DMT의 경우 Roque(1988)의 제안식을 이용한 $N_{c}$=6.35로 추정한 비배수전단강도가 비교적 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 CPTu와 DMT를 이용한 수평압밀계수는 비교적 근사한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 해성점토사이에 실트, 샌드심이 존재하는 실트질 지반에서의 수평압밀계수가 연직압밀계수보다 상당히 크며, 압밀계수비($C_{h(Oedo, CPTu, DMT)}$ /$C_{v Oedo}$ )는 4.3~10.2로 큰 차이를 보이고 있다.
