연약지반 설계에 중요한 지반정수는 압축지수($C_c$)이며, 현장의 압밀침하량 및 압밀침하속도를 산출하는데 필요하다. 이러한 압축지수 산정은 실내압밀시험을 통해 얻어지는데, 실내압밀시험에서는 반드시 시료교란이 발생하며, 이러한 교란현상을 보정하기 위하여 Schmertmann(1955)이 제시한 보정 압축지수 산정방법이 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근 시료 샘플링기술의 발전과 국내 지반조건 등이 Schmertmann이 제시한 것과 상이하므로 이에 대한 검증이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저소성 실트(ML), 저소성(CL) 및 고소성 점토시료(CH)에 대하여 교란도를 변화시켜 압밀시험을 실시하여 각각의 압밀곡선의 교차 간극비를 평가하였다. 시험결과 저소성 실트(ML)의 경우 $0.521e_0$, 저소성 점토(CL)의 경우 $0.404e_0$, 고소성 점토(CH)의 경우 $0.458e_0$로 산정되어, Schmertmann이 제시한 $0.42e_0$의 보정값과 다른 결과를 확인하였으며, 흙의 종류에 따른 소성지수(PI)를 활용한 보정식을 제안하였다. 그러나 본 연구결과는 한정된 지역에서의 시험결과이므로 흙의 소성도에 따른 압축지수 보정방법을 제시하기 위해서 다양한 국내 점토에 대한 후속연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 국내의 대표적인 연약지반인 남해안 광양지역과 양산지역의 피스톤 샘플러와 대형블록시료로 수행된 실내시험 시료를 이용하여 교란도 분석을 시행하고 교란에 따른 실내시험 압축지수 특성을 평가하기 위하여 계측침하량 분석에 의한 역해석 압축지수와 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구대상지역의 피스톤 시료에 의한 실내시험 결과로 시료교란도 분석을 수행한 결과 대부분 시료가 품질이 불량한 것으로 평가되어 실내시험결과로 산정된 압축지수를 이용한 설계 예측침하량이 과소평가되었음을 알 수 있었다. 인근지역에서 수행된 시험자료에 대한 교란도 분석결과 대형블록시료가 피스톤 시료보다 교란도가 작은 것으로 분석되었다. 계측침하량을 이용한 장래침하량 예측기법인 쌍곡선법, Hoshino법, Asaoka법, ${\sqrt{S}}$법으로 예측한 결과 일부 측점의 예측자료를 제외하고는 예측기법별 신뢰도는 동일한 것으로 분석되었다. 피스톤 시료의 압축지수에 대한 교란영향을 보정하기 위하여 Schmertmann의 수정 압축지수와 계측침하량 분석에 의한 역해석 압축지수를 이용하여 피스톤 시료의 압축지수를 추정하는 새로운 보정식을 제시하였다.

When constructing projects such as road embankments, bridge approaches, dikes or buildings on soft, compressible soils, significant settlements may occur due to the consolidation of these soils under the superimposed loads. The compressibility of the soil skeleton of a soft clay is influenced by such factors as structure and fabric, stress path, temperature and loading rate. Although it is possible to determine appropriate relations and the corresponding material parameters in the laboratory, it is well known that sample disturbance due to stress release, temperature change and moisture content change can have a profound effect on the compressibility of a clay. The early research of Tezaghi and Casagrande has had a lasting influence on our interpretation of consolidation data. The 24 hour, incremental load, oedometer test has become, more or less, the standard procedure for determining the one-dimensional, stress-strain behavior of clays. An important notion relates to the interpretation of the data is the ore-consolidation pressure ${\sigma}_p$, which is located approximately at the break in the slope on the curve. From a practical point of view, this pressure is usually viewed as corresponding to the maximum past effective stress supported by the soil. Researchers have shown, however, that the value of ${\sigma}_p$ depends on the test procedure. furthermore, owing to sampling disturbance, the results of the laboratory consolidation test must be corrected to better capture the in-situ compressibility characteristics. The corrections apply, strictly speaking, to soils where the relation between strain and effective stress is time independent. An important assumption in Terzaghi's one-dimensional theory of consolidation is that the soil skeleton behaves elastically. On the other hand, Buisman recognized that creep deformations in settlement analysis can be important. this has led to extensions to Terzaghi's theory by various investigators, including the applicant and coworkers. The main object of this study is to suggestion the modified compression index value to predict settlements by back calculating the $C_c$ from different numerical models, which are giving best prediction settlements for multi layers including very thick soft clay.

대구지역에 분포하는 고유이방성 셰일(shale)의 점재하지수 및 일축․압축강도 특성을 평가하기 위한 일련의 실험실 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 시험시편의 크기효과 및 형태효과를 조사하기 위하여 축방향 및 직경방향으로 점재하지수를 측정하였다. 일반적으로 직경방향의 점재하지수는 길이/직경(L/D)비가 대략 1.0 이상일때 일정한 값을 보이고 축방향 점재하 시험 결과 L/D비의 증가에 따라 평균 점재하지수가 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 L/D비가 1.0 이상이면 corner파괴가 발생하였다. 최소의 점재하지수는 층리면이 연직과 이루는 각 ($\beta$)이 $15^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$에서 나타났고 ${\beta}=30^{\circ}$에서 최소의 일축압축강도가 얻어졌다. $\beta$ 값의 범위가 $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$인 시편의 점재하지수와 일축압축강도를 측정하여 이들의 상호관계를 회귀분석하였다. 층리면을 $0^{\circ}$에서 $90^{\circ}$까지 변화시키면서 측정한 점재하지수는 일축압축강도와 선형적인 관계인 ${\sigma}_c=25.0 I_{s(50)}$로 나타났다. 한편, 층리각($\beta$)를 90${^{\circ}}$로 고정시킨 상태에서의 이들의 상관성은 ${\sigma}_c=14.4 I_{s(50)}$로 나타났는데, 이는 ISRM(1985)에서 추천하는 층리가 없는 무결암 시료에 대한 일반적인 상관성, ${\sigma}_c=22 I_{s(50)}$과는 많은 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 일축압축강도의 이방성 모형은 기존의 Ramamurthy(1993)이론에 지수 'n'을 도입하여 n= 3을 적용 했을때 측정결과와 잘 부합되는 결과를 얻었다.

Low cyclic loading tests are conducted on the steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) column-steel (S) beam composite frame joints. This research aims to evaluate the earthquake damage performance of composite frame joints by performing cyclic loading tests on eight specimens. The experimental failure process and failure modes, load-displacement hysteresis curves, characteristic loads and displacements, and ductility of the composite frame joints are presented and analyzed, which shows that the composite frame joints demonstrate good seismic performance. On the basis of this finding, seismic damage performance is examined by using the maximum displacement, energy absorbed in the hysteresis loops and Park-Ang model. However, the result of this analysis is inconsistent with the test failure process. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified Park-Ang seismic damage model that is based on maximum deformation and cumulative energy dissipation, and corrected by combination coefficient ${\alpha}$. Meanwhile, the effects of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage and axial compression ratio on the seismic damage performance are analyzed comprehensively. Moreover, lateral displacement angle is used as the quantification index of the seismic performance level of joints. Considering the experimental study, the seismic performance level of composite frame joints is divided into five classes of normal use, temporary use, repair after use, life safety and collapse prevention. On this basis, the corresponding relationships among seismic damage degrees, seismic performance level and quantitative index are also established in this paper. The conclusions can provide a reference for the seismic performance design of composite frame joints.

Objective : To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the controlled distraction-compression technique using an expandable titanium cage (ETC) in posttraumatic kyphosis (PTK). Methods : We retrospectively studied and collected data on 20 patients with PTK. From January 2014 to December 2017, the controlled distraction-compression technique using ETC was consecutively performed in 20 patients with PTK of the thoracolumbar zone (range, 36-82 years). Among them, nine were males and 11 were females and the mean age was 61.5 years. The patients were followed regularly at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and the last follow-up was more than 2 years after surgery. Results : The mean follow-up period was 27.3±7.3 months (range, 14-48). The average operation time was 286.8±33.1 minutes (range, 225-365). The preoperative regional kyphotic angle (RKA) ranged from 35.6° to 70.6° with an average of 47.5°±8.1°. The immediate postoperative mean RKA was 5.9°±3.8° (86.2% correction rate, p=0.000), and at the last follow-up more than 2 years later, the mean RKA was 9.2°±4.9° (80.2% correction rate, p=0.000). The preoperative mean thoracolumbar kyphosis was 49.1°±9.2° and was corrected to an average of 8.8°±5.3° immediately after surgery (p=0.000). At the last follow-up, a correction of 11.9°±6.3° was obtained (p=0.000). The preoperative mean back visual analog scale (VAS) score was 7.9±0.8 and at the last follow-up, the VAS score was improved to a mean of 2.3±1.0 with a 70.9% correction rate (p=0.000). The preoperative mean Oswestry disability index (ODI) score was 32.3±6.9 (64.6%) and the last follow-up ODI score was improved to a mean of 6.85±2.9 (3.7%) with a 78.8% correction rate (p=0.000). The overall complication was 15%, with two of distal junctional fractures and one of proximal junctional kyphosis and screw loosening. However, there were no complications directly related to the operation. Conclusion : Posterior vertebral column resection through the controlled distraction-compression technique using ETC showed safe and good results in terms of complications, and clinical and radiologic outcomes in PTK. However, to further evaluate the efficacy of this surgical procedure, more patients need long-term follow-up and there is a need to apply it to other diseases.
