The object of this experiment is to find out some flow characteristics of water through sand layer, to prevent moving sands in the filters of the fill Dam, infiltration gallery, well and Deversion Weir. This experiment was accomplished with different particle Sizes of Six Samples and different hydraulic gradient. The results obtained are Summarized as follows. 1. The critical hydraulic gradients for laminar flow was found to be between 1 and 2 when the sand used had the effective diameter, D10 of between 0.18cm and 0.45cm. 2. The critical hydraulic gradients for different particle sizes of sands were varied considerably. 3. There was a negative correlation between critical hydraulic gradient and critical Velocity, and between effective particle diameter D10 and critical hydraulic gradient respectively. 4. In spite of relatively small variation of void ratio of sands used, the values of the coefficient of permeability varied considerably. There was a negative correlation between coefficient of permeability and void ratio.

This study conducted a series of drained triaxial test in order to determine the critical state parameters of a high compressible Jeju sand. Jeju sand is classified into mixed sand containing both siliceous and calcareous materials and has high extreme void ratios due to the angularity of grains and the intra-particle voids of hollow particles. It is observed that the behavior of Jeju sand is similar to that of general calcareous sand. The friction angle of Jeju sand at critical state gradually decreases with increasing the mean effective stress. Test result shows that the particle crushing resulted from stress during shear causes the reduction of void ratio at critical state.

This paper presents a detailed study focused on investigating the effects of silt content on the static and dynamic properties of sand-silt mixtures. Specimens with a low-plastic silt content of 0, 15, 30 and 50% by weight were tested in static triaxial, cyclic triaxial, and resonant columns in addition to consolidation tests to determine such parameters as compression index, internal friction angle, cohesion, cyclic stress ratio, maximum shear modulus, normalized shear modulus and damping ratio. The test procedures were performed on specimens of three cases: constant void ratio index, e = 0.582; same peak deviator stress of 290 kPa; and constant relative density, $D_r$ = 30%. The test results obtained for both the constant-void-ratio-index and constant-relative-density specimens showed that as silt content increased, the internal friction angle, cyclic stress ratio and maximum shear modulus decreased, but cohesion increased. In testing of the same deviator stress specimens, both cohesion and internal friction angle were insignificantly altered with the increase in silt content. In addition, as silt content increased, the maximum shear modulus increased. The cyclic stress ratio first decreased as silt content increased to reach the threshold silt content and increased thereafter with further increases in silt content. Furthermore, the damping ratio was investigated based on different silt contents in three types of specimens.

In this paper, utilizing void ratio-effective stress and void ratio-permeability relationships, a system of two nonlinear partial differential equations is derived to predict the consolidation characteristics of normally consolidated (NC) and overconsolidated (OC) soft clays subjected to cyclic loading. A developed feature of the coefficient of consolidation containing two key parameters is emerged from the differential equations. Effect of these parameters on the consolidation characteristics of soft clays is analytically discussed. It is shown that the ratios between the slopes of e-$log{\sigma}^{\prime}$ and e-log k lines in the NC and OC states play a major role in the consolidation process. In the companion paper, the critical assumptions made in the analytical discussion are experimentally verified and a numerical study is carried out in order to examine the proposed theory.

본 연구에서는 제주해사에 대한 일련의 삼축압축시험을 수행하여 파쇄성이 큰 제주 탄산염 모래의 한계상태정수를 결정하였다. 제주해사는 입자의 모난 정도가 크고 입자표면과 내부에 다수의 공극이 발달되어 전형적인 탄산염 모래의 특성을 보인다. 제주해사는 큰 최대, 최소 간극비와 큰 압축성 때문에 전단 시 압축거동이 지배적이었다. 구속압이 증가할수록 입자가 파쇄되어 제주해사의 첨두마찰각이 다소 감소하였으나, 일반적인 규산염 모래의 마찰각보다는 다소 큰 것이 관찰되었다. 제주해사의 한계상태 마찰각은 평균유효응력이 증가할수록 점차 감소하였으나, 시료의 간극비가 제주해사의 한계상태에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. 제주해사의 한계상태 정수는 여타의 탄산염 모래와 유사하였으나, 일반적인 규산염 모래보다는 매우 크게 결정되었다.

모래에 혼합된 점토의 혼합비에 의한 투수계수와 압밀계수의 영향분석을 위해 주문진 표준사와 오타와 모래에 카올린 점토를 다양한 혼합비로 섞은 시료를 제작하여 연성벽체투수시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 시험이 실시된 10%에서 29%의 카올린 점토 혼합범위에서는 세미 로그 그래프 상에서 점토의 혼합비와 투수계수 및 압밀계수가 "반비례하는 선형적 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 투수계수와 압밀계수는 흙의 구조에 의해서 결정되는 것으로 나타났다. 점토비가 낮아 안정구조로 볼 수 있는 혼합토에서는 점토질 토사에서 투수계수 및 압밀계수와 높은 연관성을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려진 간극비와는 상호관계를 나타내지 않은 반면, 부유구조에서는 간극비의 증가에 따라서 투수계수가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

PURPOSES : Conductive and convective heat transfer simulations for an asphalt mixture were made by using discrete element method (DEM) and similarity principle. METHODS : In this research, virtual specimens composed of discrete element method particles were generated according to four different predetermined particle size distribution curves. Temperature variations of the four different particles for a given condition were estimated and were compared with measurements and analytical solutions. RESULTS : The virtual specimen with mixed particles and with the smallest particle show very good agreement with laboratory test results and analytical solutions. As particle size decreases, better heat transfer simulation can be performed due to smaller void ratio and more contact points and areas. In addition, by utilizing the similarity principle of thermal properties and corresponding time unit, analytical time can be drastically reduced. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that the DEM asphalt mixture specimens with similarity principle could be used to predict the temperature variation for a given condition. It is observed that the void ratio has critical effect on prediction of temperature variation. Comparing the prediction for a 4 mm particle specimen with a mixed particle specimen, it is also concluded that predicting the mixed particle specimen temperature is much more efficient considering the number of particles that are directly associated with computational time in DEM analysis.

Tailings are waste materials of mining operations, consisting of a mixture of clay, silt, sand with a high content of unrecoverable metals, process water, and chemical reagents. They are usually discharged as slurry into the storage area retained by dams or earth embankments. Poor knowledge of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of tailings has often resulted in a high rate of failures in which static liquefaction has been widely recognized as one of the major causes of dam collapse. Many studies have dealt with the static liquefaction of coarse soils in saturated conditions. This research provides an extension to the case of silty tailings in unsaturated conditions. The static liquefaction resistance was evaluated in terms of stress-strain behavior by means of monotonic triaxial tests. Its dependency on the preparation method, the volumetric water content, the void ratio, and the degree of saturation was studied and compared with literature data. The static liquefaction response was proved to be dependent mainly on the preparation technique and degree of saturation that, in turn, controls the excess of pore pressure whose leading role is investigated by means of the relationship between the -B Skempton parameter and the degree of saturation. A preliminary interpretation of the static liquefaction response of Stava tailings is also provided within the Critical State framework.

Oil and natural gas reserves have been recognised abundantly in clayey rich rock formations in deep costal reservoirs. It is necessary to understand the sedimentary history of those reservoir rocks to well explore these natural resources. This work designs a group of laboratory experiments to mimic the physical process of the sedimentary clay-rich rock formation. It presents characterisation results of the physical properties of the artificial clayey rocks synthesized from illite clay, quartz sand and brine water by high-pressure consolidation tests. Special focus is given on the effects of illite clay content and high-stress consolidation on the physical properties. Multi-step loaded consolidation experiments were carried out with stress up to 35 MPa on mixtures constituting of the illite clay, quartz sand and brine water with five initial illite clay contents (w=85%, 70%, 55%, 40% and 25%). Compressibility and void ratio were characterised throughout the physical compaction process of the mixtures constituting of five illite clay contents and their water permeability was measured as well. Results show that the applied stress induces a great reduction of clayey rock void ratio. Illite clay contents has a significant influence on the compressibility, void ratio and the permeability of the physically synthesized clayey rocks. There is a critical illite clay content w=70% that induces the minimum void ratio in the physically synthesised clayey rocks. The SEM study indicates, in the high-pressure synthesised clayey rocks with high illite clay contents, the illite clay minerals are located in layers and serve as the material matrix, and the quartz minerals fill in the inter-mineral pores or are embedded in the illite clay matrix. The arrangements of the minerals in microscale originate the structural anisotropy of the high-pressure synthesised clayey rock. The test findings can give an intuitive physical understanding of the deep-buried clayey rock basins in energy reservoirs.

본 논문은 점성토의 응력-변형률 관계를 모사하기 위해 한계 상태 이론을 기반으로 하여 수정한 Modified Cam-Clay 파괴면을 제안한다. 평균유효응력과 von Mises 응력의 공간에서 타원형상의 파괴면을 가지는 Modified Cam-Clay 모델의 경우, 강성 및 발달법칙 미적용시, 비배수 전단조건하에 한계상태 평균유효응력은 선행압밀 평균유효응력의 절반이 되며, 이는 실제 점성토의 거동과 차이가 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행압밀 평균유효응력은 점성토의 압밀이력으로 정량화되고, 한계상태 평균유효응력은 점성토의 현재 간극비로 산정되어, 이 둘간의 비율이 고정되지 않는 찌그러진 형태의 파괴면을 제안한다. 제안된 파괴면을 항복평면으로 가정하고, 비배수 삼축압축 거동을 모사한 결과, 실내 실험 결과와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다
