The weakening and softening behavior of soft clay subjected to cyclic loading due to the build-up of excess pore water pressure is well-known. During the design stage of the foundation of highways and coastal high-rise buildings, it is important to study the mechanical behavior of marine soils under cyclic loading as they undergo greater settlement during cyclic loading than under static loading. Therefore, this research evaluates the cyclic stress-strain and shear strength of untreated and treated marine clay under the effects of wind, earthquake, and traffic loadings. A series of laboratory stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been conducted on both untreated and treated marine clay using different effective confining pressures and a frequency of 0.5 and 1.0 Hz. In addition, treated samples were cured for 28 and 90 days and tested under a frequency of 2.0 Hz. The results revealed significant differences in the performance of treated marine clay samples than that of untreated samples under cyclic loading. The treated marine clay samples were able to stand up to 2000 loading cycles before failure, while untreated marine clay samples could not stand few loading cycles. The untreated marine clay displayed a higher permanent axial strain rate under cyclic loading than the treated clay due to the existence of new cementing compounds after the treatment with recycled tiles and low amount (2%) of cement. The effect of the effective confining pressure was found to be significant on untreated marine clay while its effect was not crucial for the treated samples cured for 90 days. Treated samples cured for 90 days performed better under cyclic loading than the ones cured for 28 days and this is due to the higher amount of cementitious compounds formed with time. The highest deformation was found at 0.5 Hz, which cannot be considered as a critical frequency since smaller frequencies were not used. Therefore, it is recommended to consider testing the treated marine clay using smaller frequencies than 0.5 Hz.

본 논문에서는 기존 IWAN 모델을 수정하여 사질토 지반의 반복경화 현상을 나타낼 수 있는 지반의 반복경화모델을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 동적하중을 받는 지반재료는 하중 반복회수에 따라 동적 거동특성이 변화하게 되며 이는 반복 경화 및 연화현상으로 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 등방 경화 또는 등방 연화 거동을 하는 스프링슬라이더 요소를 기존 병렬 IWAN 모델에 추가함으로써 지반의 동적 변형특성 표현이 가능하였다. 등방 경화 거동을 보이는 요소들의 항복 응력은 각각 반복 경화함수에 의하여 증가하도록 정의되었으며, 반복 경화함수는 대칭 한계를 가지는 동적 비틂전단 시험결과로부터 정의되었다. 이렇게 정의된 반복 경화함수는 지반의 동적 변형 특성을 묘사하기 위하여 하나의 독립 변수를 가지게 되며, 사용된 독립변수는 지반의 동적 한계 변형률의 특성을 포함하는 누적전단변형률로 사용되었다. 누적 전단변형률은 반복 전단한계 변형률 이상의 변형률의 누적으로 정의되며, 역재하 및 재재하 곡선에서는 Masing의 법칙을 적용하여 계산될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 모델의 개발과정을 서술하였고, 모델에 대한 검증은 동반논문인 검증편에 설명하였다.

Diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams (DRCB) play an important role in coupled shear wall systems since these elements dissipate most of seismic input energy under earthquake loading. For reliable seismic performance evaluation using nonlinear response history analysis, it is important to use an accurate analytical model for DRCBs. In this study, the Pinching4 model is used as a base model to simulate the cyclic behavior of DRCBs. For simulating the cyclic behavior of DRCBs using the Pinching4 model, the analytical parameters for backbone curve, pinching and cyclic deterioration in strength and stiffness should be computed. To determine the proper values of the constituent analytical parameters efficiently and accurately, this study proposes the empirical equations for the analytical parameters using regression analyses. It is shown that the hysteretic behavior of coupling beams can be simulated efficiently and accurately using the proposed numerical model with the proposed empirical equations of model parameters.

Recently the geogrids are being used in some large projects such as Inchon International Airport construction, highway construction, and Korean High-Speed Railway construction with not only the merit of simple construction but also reinforcing efficiency for the soft ground. Main function of roadbed is to provide a stable foundation in terms of bearing capacity and settlement for the subballast and ballsat layers. Differential settlement of the railroad should be avoided. The cyclic laboratory model tests were performed to investigate the settlement behavior of geogrid reinforced railroadbed. The ratio of settlement of roadbed under cyclic loading with three layers of geogrid reinforced is less than 1/2 of the roadbed thickness without reinforcement.

Fourteen model pile load tests using a calibration chamber and instrumented model pile were preformed to investigate the variation of the behaviors of driven piles in sands with soil and lateral cyclic loading conditions. Results of the model tests showed that the first loading cycle generated more than 70% of the pile head rotation developed for 50 lateral loading cycles. Lateral cyclic loading also made an increase of the ultimate lateral load capacity of piles for $K_0$=0.4 and an decrease for $K_0$ higher than 0.4. Higher portion of the increase or decrease in the ultimate lateral load capacity by lateral cyclic loading was generated for the first loading cycle due to densification of loosening of the soil around the pile by lateral cyclic loading. It was also observed that a two-way cyclic loading caused higher ultimate lateral load capacity of driven piles than a one-way cyclic loading. When the pile was in the ultimate state, the maximum bending moment developed in the pile increased with increasing $K_0$ value of soil and was insensitive to the magnitude and number of lateral cyclic loading.

The combined ab initio and vibrational predissociation (VP) spectroscopic studies on methylammonium-$(water)_4$ complex aimed at understanding the hydration behavior of an amphiphilic ion core are described. The ab initio calculations predicted eleven low-energy isomers forming cyclic, tripod, chain, and caged structures, and their relative stabilities, total hydration energies and thermodynamic functions at 298 K and 150 K. The excellent correlation between the observed VP spectra and ab initio spectra for bonded N-H, bonded O-H and free O-H stretches suggested co-existence of five cyclic isomers and two non-cyclic isomers in ion beam at 150 K, consistent with the trends of calculated Gibbs free energies.

반복수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 거동은 정적하중을 받는 경우와 다르며, 지반 및 하중특성에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 모래지반에서 반복하중특성이 말뚝의 수평거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 가압토조를 이용한 모형말뚝 재하시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 반복수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 극한수평지지력은 하중의 반복재하횟수가 많아질수록 선형적으로 감소하였고 수평하중의 크기가 커질수록 조금씩 증가하였다. 그리고 수평하중의 반복재하횟수가 증가할수록 극한상태에서 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트는 감소했으나 그 발생위치는 말뚝 근입길이의 0.36배 되는 곳으로 일정하였다. 반면 반복수평하중의 크기가 증가하면 극한상태에서 말뚝의 최대 휨모멘트와 그 발생위치가 조금씩 증가하였으며, 반복수평하중은 정적하중에 비해 말뚝의 극한수평지지력과 극한상태에서 말뚝의 최대 휨모멘트를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 모형실험결과에 근거해서 조밀한 모래지반에서 반복수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 극한수평지지력을 산정할 수 있는 지지력산정식을 제안하였으며, 제안식으로부터 얻은 계산치를 실험치와 비교한 결과 제안식은 모형실험의 결과를 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 자갈혼합률을 다르게 준비한 자갈-모래 혼합시료가 등방압밀 및 $K_0$-이방압밀 상태에서 나타나는 액상화거동에 대해서 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 자갈혼합률이 다른 자갈-모래 혼합토 공시체를 100kPa의 연직응력으로서 상대밀도가 40% 되도록 등방압밀 및 $K_0$-이방압밀 시킨 후 반복삼축시험을 수행하였다. 또한 자갈혼합률이 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%인 공시체에 100 kPa의 연직응력으로서 간극비가 0.7이 되도록 등방압밀 후 반복시험도 실시하였다. 시험결과 동일한 상대밀도(Dr=40%)를 가지는 자갈-모래 혼합토 공시체의 간극비는 자갈혼합률이 증가할수록 감소하다가 약 70%를 저점으로해서 다시 증가한다. 그러나 이 경계혼합률 이하에서는 자갈입자 사이를 채우고 있는 모래의 간극비는 자갈혼합률이 증가할수록 증가한다. 상대밀도가 일정한 (Dr=40%)등방압밀 공시체에 있어서 자갈혼합률이 비교적 낮은 경우(GC=0%, 20%, 40%)에는 반복하중에 의해서 일어나는 간극수압과 축변형률 거동이 비교적 높은 간극비로 인해서 느슨한 모래의 거동을 나타내나, 자갈혼합률이 높은 경우(GC=70%)에는 간극수압과 축변형률 거동이 조밀한 모래의 거동과 비슷한 경향을 보인다. 또한 간극비가 일정한(e=0.7) 등방압밀 공시체에 있어서 자갈혼합률이 높을수록 축변형률과 간극수압 거동은 느슨한 모래의 거동을 보이며 자갈혼합률이 낮을수록 축변형률 거동은 조밀한 모래의 거동을 나타낸다. 등방압밀 공시체의 액상화강도는 경계혼합률(GC=70%)이하의 범위에서는 상대밀도가 일정한 경우에는 자갈혼합률이 증가할수록 증가하며 간극비가 일정한 경우는 자갈혼합률이 증가할수록 감소한다. 따라서 자갈-모래 혼합토의 액상화강도는 예상과는 달리 자갈 입자 사이를 채우고 있는 모래의 상대밀도 보다는 혼합토의 전체적인 상대밀도 및 간극비에 의해서 결정된다는 사실이 확인되었다. $K_0$-이방압밀 공시체의 간극수압과 축변형률 거동은 반복응력이 어느 정도의 응력반전을 포함하고 있는데도 불구하고 응력반전이 없는 경우의 사질토의 거동을 나타낸다. 즉 응력반전량이 반복응력 진폭의 약 10%인데도 불구하고 반복변형률은 비슷하나 영구변형률이 크게 증가하며 또한 간극수압비는 1.0에 미달하여 초기액상화가 일어나지 않는다. 그리고 액상화강도는 자갈촌합률이 증가할수록 0%에서 40%까지의 범위에서는 증가하나 그 이상에서는 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 결론적으로 자갈-모래 혼합토의 반복거동은 자갈혼합량, 간극비, 상대밀도 그리고 압밀상태와 같은 요인에 의해 결정된다.

The ratcheting effect greatly challenges the design of piping components. With the assistance of the quasi-three point bending apparatus, ratcheting and the ratcheting boundary of pressurized straight Z2CND18.12N stainless steel pipe under bending loading and vertical displacement control were studied experimentally. The characteristics of progressive inelastic deformation in axial and hoop directions of the Z2CND18.12N stainless steel pipes were investigated. The experiment results show that the ratcheting strain occurs mainly in the hoop direction while there is less ratcheting strain in the axial direction. The characteristics of the bending ratcheting behavior of the pressure pipes were derived and compared under load control and displacement control, respectively. The results show that the cyclic bending loading and the internal pressure affect the ratcheting behavior of the pressurized straight pipe significantly under load control. In the meantime, the ratcheting characteristics are also highly associated with the cyclic displacement and the internal pressure under displacement control. All these factors affect not only the saturation of the ratcheting strain but the ratcheting strain rate. A series of multi-step bending ratcheting experiments were conducted under both control modes. It was found that the hardening effect of Z2CND18.12N stainless steel pipe under previous cyclic loadings no matter with high or low displacement amplitudes is significant, and the prior loading histories greatly retard the ratcheting strain and its rate under subsequent loadings. Finally, the ratcheting boundaries of the pressurized straight Z2CND18.12N stainless steel pipe were determined and compared based on KTA/ASME, RCC-MR and the experimental results.
