In urban areas, tunnelling induced ground deformations, particularly ground settlements should be considered in order to minimize the damage of adjacent structures. Therefore, an appropriate monitoring system for the tunnel construction should be setup at the planning or design stage. A number of studies on ground settlements due to tunnelling in soft ground have been carried out so far. However, most studies have focused on clay soil rather than sand soil. In particular, a few studies on behaviour of subsurface deformations in granular material have been reported. In this study, two-dimensional laboratory model test with aluminium rods regarded as continuum granular material and close range photogrammetric technique, and numerical analysis were carried out in order to identify the behaviour of subsurface deformations due to shallow tunnelling. Direction and magnitude of displacement vectors from the model test was identical to the numerical analysis. In particular, the vector direction was appeared to be toward a point below the tunnel invert level. A narrow 'chimney or tulip like' pattern of vertical displacement was confirmed by both the model test and numerical analysis. This is consistent with the field data. In addition to the qualitative comparison, the quantitative comparison of subsurface settlements according to 2D volume loss showed good agreement between the model test and numerical analysis. Therefore, close range photogrammetric technique applied in the model test may be used to validate the result from the continuum numerical analysis.

As shear occurs along a soil-structure interface, a localized zone with a thickness of several grain diameters will develop in soil along the interface, forming an interfacial layer. In this paper, the behaviour of a soil-structure interface is studied numerically by modelling the plane shear of a granular layer bounded by rigid plates. The mechanical behaviour of the granular material is described with a micro-polar hypoplastic continuum model. Numerical results are presented to show the development of shear localization along the interface for shearing under conditions of constant normal pressure and constant volume, respectively. Evolution of the resistance on the surface of the bounding plate is considered with respect to the influences of grain rotation.

Nowadays, railway system plays a significant role in transportation, conveying cargo, passengers, minerals, grains, and so forth. Railway ballasted track is a conventional railway track as can be seen all over the world. Ballast, located underneath the sleepers, is the most important elements on ballasted track, which has many functions and requires routine maintenance. Ballast needs to be maintained frequently to prevent rail buckling, settlement, misalignment so that ballast has to be modelled accurately. Continuum model was introduced to model granular material and was extended in ballast. However, ballast is a heterogeneous material with highly nonlinear behaviour. Hence, ballast could not be modelled accurately in continuum model due to the discontinuities nature and material degradation of ballast. Discrete element modelling (DEM) is proposed as an alternative approach that provides insight into constitutive model, realistic particle, and contact algorithm between each particle. DEM has been studied in many recent decades. However, there are limitations due to the high computational time and memory consumption, which cause the lack of using in high range. This paper presents a review of recent ballast modelling with benefits and drawbacks. Ballast particles are illustrated either circular, circular crump, spherical, spherical crump, super-quadric, polygonal and polyhedral. Moreover, the gaps and limitations of previous studies are also summarized. The outcome of this study will help the understanding into different ballast modelling and particle. The insight information can be used to improve ballast modelling and monitoring for condition-based track maintenance.

본 연구는 사질토 지반에서의 얕은 터널굴착으로 인한 지반변형 거동을 규명하기 위해 연속체 사질토 지반을 모사 하는 알루미늄 봉과 근거리 사진계측기법을 이용하여 2차원 실내모형실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과에 근거하는 수치해석으로부터 생성된 변위벡터의 방향과 크기는 모형실험 결과와 거의 일치하였다. 특히, 벡터의 방향은 터널의 인버트 아래 어느 한 점을 향하는 것으로 나타났다. 좁은 "굴뚝 또는 튜울립" 형태의 수직변위는 수치해석 및 모형실험 결과에서 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 양상은 현장에서 측정한 결과와 잘 일치된다. 정성적인 비교와 더불어 지중에서의 2차원 지반손실에 따른 정량적인 침하량 비교 결과, 모형실험에서 측정된 지중침하량이 수치해석 결과 잘 일치됨을 보여주었다. 따라서 본 모형실험에 적용된 근거리 사진계측기법은 수치해석 결과를 검증하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

입자물질의 빠른 움직임을 미시적으로 관찰하고 이를 연속체이론에 적용하였다. 두 입자의 상호충돌현상에서 두 종류의 시간 즉 미행시간과 접촉시간을 나누었다. 전자는 시간에 따라 변하는 움직임과 체적의 변화를 나타내며, 후자는 두 입자가 접촉시에 걸린 시간을 뜻하며 이 크기는 입자의 탄성성질을 나타낸다. 이러한 두 종류의 시간을 이용하여 4개의 상태변수 즉 압축응력, 점성, 에너지전달률 그리고 에너지손실률로서 동력학적 구조거동식을 세웠다. 연속체이론의 질량, 운동량 및 에너지방정식을 위의 상태변수로서 표기하고 이를 다시 두 가지의 모델에 적용한 결과 탄성성질로 인한 이완 및 에너지 흡수현상이 나타났다.
