Soils are subjected to additional stresses due to the loads transferred by the foundations of the buildings. The distribution of stress in soil has great importance in geotechnical engineering projects such as stress, settlement and liquefaction analyses. The purpose of this study is to examine the shear stresses on horizontal plane below the rectangular foundations subjected to biaxial bending on an elastic soil. In this study, closed-form analytical solutions for shear stresses in x and y directions were obtained from Boussinesq's stress equations. The expressions of analytical solutions were simplified by defining the shear stress influence values ($I_1$, $I_2$, $I_3$), and solution charts were presented for obtaining these values. For some special loading conditions, the expressions for shear stresses in the soil below the corners of a rectangular foundation were also given. In addition, a computer program was developed to calculate the shear stress increment at any point below the rectangular foundations. A numerical example for illustrating the use of the presented solution charts was given and, finally, shear stress isobars were obtained for the same example by a developed computer program. The shear stress expressions obtained in this work can be used to determine monotonic and cyclic behavior of soils below rectangular foundations subjected to biaxial bending.

The response of a reinforced concrete element under cyclic shear is characterized by the hysteretic loops of the shear stress-strain curves. These hysteretic loops can exhibit strength deterioration, stiffness degradation, and a pinched shape. Recent tests have shown that the orientation of steel grids in RC shear elements has a strong effect on the "pinching effect" in the post-yield hysteretic loops. When the steel grid was set at a 45 degree angle to the shear plane, there was no pinching effect and no strength deterioration. However, when the steel grid was set parallel to the shear plane, there was a severe pinching effect and severe strength deterioration with increasing shear strain magnitude. In this paper, two RC elements subjected to revered cyclic shear stresses are considered to study the effect of the steel grid orientation. The presence and absence of the pinching mechanism in the post-yield shear hysteretic loops is studied using the Rotating Angle Softened Truss Model (RA-STM) theory.

Concrete-to-concrete bedding planes (CCBP) are observed from time to time due to the multistep hardening process of the concrete materials. In this paper, a series of direct/cyclic shear tests are performed on CCBP under static and dynamic normal load conditions to study the frictional behavior effect by the shear velocities, normal impact frequencies, horizontal shear frequencies, normal impact force amplitudes, horizontal shear displacement amplitudes and normal load levels. According to the experimental results, apparent friction coefficient k ($k=F_{Shear}/F_{Normal}$) shows different patterns under static and dynamic load conditions at the stable shear stage. k is nearly constant in direct shear tests under constant normal load conditions (DCNL), while it is cyclically changing with nearly constant peak value and valley value for the direct shear tests under dynamic normal load conditions (DDNL), where k increases with decreasing normal force and decreases with increasing normal force. Shear velocity has little influence on peak values of k for the DCNL tests, but increasing shear velocity leads to increasing valley values of k for DDNL tests. It is also found that, the valley values of k ascend with decreasing impact normal force amplitude in DDNL tests. The changing pattern of k for the cyclic shear tests under constant and dynamic normal load conditions (CCNL and CDNL tests) are similar, but the peak value of k is smaller in CDNL tests than that in CCNL tests. Normal load levels, shear displacement amplitudes, vertical impact frequencies, horizontal shear frequencies and normal impact force amplitudes have little influence on the changing pattern of k for the cyclic shear tests. The tests of this study provide useful data in understanding the frictional behavior of the CCBP under distinct loadings, and these findings are very important for analyzing the stability of the jointed geotechnical structures under complicated in situ stress conditions.

본 논문에서는 유효응력모델을 이용하여 포화된 사면의 동적거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 수치해석에는 저자가 개발한 연성 유효응력모델인 UBSSAND모델을 이용하였으며, 이 모델은 초기전단응력이 수평면에 작용하는 경우와 작용하지 않는 경우를 포함한 반복 직접단순전단시험 자료를 이용하여 검증하였다. 검증된 모델은 느슨한 Fraser River 모래로 성형된 사면을 가진 원심모형모델의 동적거동을 예측하였다. 예측된 과잉간극수압, 가속도 및 변위를 계측치와 서로 비교하였으며, 예측치와 계측치는 비교적 서로 잘 일치하였다. 전단응력도의 응력전환형태는 초기전단응력과 반복전단응력의 크기에 따라 달라지며, 이는 지진시 포화된 사면의 안정해석에 아주 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 전단응력도의 응력전환이 발생하지 않을 경우에 사면근처의 모래는 낮은 유효응력 구속압과 그에 따른 팽창성으로(부의 과잉간극수압발생) 유효응력이 증가하여, 동적하중 하의 사면의 변위를 저지하였다. 이와 같은 유효응력모델은 액상화를 고려한 지반구조물의 내진해석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents an investigation of the liquefaction characteristics and particle crushing of isotropically consolidated silica sand specimens at a wide range of confining pressures varying from 0.1 MPa to 5 MPa during undrained cyclic shearing. Different failure patterns of silica sand specimens subjected to undrained cyclic loading were seen at low and high pressures. The sudden change points with regard to the increasing double amplitude of axial strain with cycle number were identified, regardless of confining pressure. A higher cyclic stress ratio caused the specimen to liquefy at a relatively smaller cycle number, conversely producing a larger relative breakage $B_r$. The rise in confining pressure also resulted in the increasing relative breakage. At a specific cyclic stress ratio, the relative breakage and plastic work increased with the rise in the cyclic loading. Less particle crushing and plastic work consumption was observed for tests terminated after one cyclic loading. Majority of the particle crushing was produced and majority of the plastic work was consumed after the specimen passed through the phase transformation point and until reaching the failure state. The large amount of particle crushing resulted from the high-level strain induced by particle transformation and rotation.

최근 늘어나고 있는 폐기물량에 따라 폐기물 매립장의 건설이 증가하고 있으며, 매립장 내 폐기물의 보강 및 보호 목적으로 토목섬유가 널리 사용되고 있다. 토목섬유는 흙과의 접촉면을 형성하는데 폐기물 매립장의 전단 거동에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 침출수 내의 산성 및 염기성과 같은 성분이 반복 전단하중 상태에서 지반-토목섬유 접촉면의 전단강도 감소에 미치는 영향을 실내 시험을 통하여 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 동적 접촉면 전단시험기를 제작하고 60일, 840일간 수침시킨 토목섬유와 흙 시료를 이용하여 반복 단순전단시험을 수행하였고, 그 결과를 교란상태개념에 기초하여 화학적 인자들에 의한 지반-토목섬유 접촉면의 전단강도 감소 특성을 교란도 함수로써 확인하였다.

암석에서의 임계하 균열성장은 단조 및 반복하중 하에서 일어날 수 있다. 임계하 균열 성장은 암반에 건설되는 지하구조물의 장기 안정성의 평가에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 모사 암석 시료를 사용하여 단조 및 반복하중 하에서의 임계하 균열성장 지수를 구하였다. 단조하중 조건에서는 일정 응력 속도법이 적용되었으며, 반복하중에 의한 임계하 균열성장 지수는 반복에 의한 균열성장 속도와 응력확대계 수폭의 관계를 이용하였다. 연구에 사용된 시험편은 $45^{\circ}$와 $60^{\circ}$의 균열 경사각을 가지고 있으며, 균열의 간격 및 연속성에 변화를 주어 전단 또는 인장에 의한 균열성장이 가능하도록 하여 전단 또는 인장에 의한 임계하 균열성장 지수도 구하였다. 그 결과, 임계하 균열성장 지수 n은 작용하는 하중 조건, 즉 단조 및 반복하중, 혹은 전단 및 인장에 관계없이 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the hysteretic behaviors of exterior beam-column joints with high strength concrete (f'c≒1000kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) subjected to cyclic loads. Four exterior subassemblages scaled down about 60% were tested, whose variables were with/without shear reinforcements and with/without slab and spandrel beams. Hoop bars and hooked steel fibers were used as the shear reinforcements. The test results showed that using hooked steel fiber reinforced concrete with volume ratio 1.5% at beam-column joints was very effective to resist shear stress due to cyclic loads.

This paper proposes an analytical method to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete beams subjected to reversed cyclic loading. The proposed method is based on the compatibility aided truss model and adopts the stress vs. strain curve of concrete which considers the softening effects. This model Is verified by comparing to the six reinforced concrete panel tests.

This paper presents a study on defects in pearlite lamella structure of high carbon steel by means of finite-element method(FEM) simulation. High-carbon pearlite steel wire is characterized by its nano-sized microstructure feature of alternation ferrite and cementite. The likely fatigue crack is located on interface of the lamella structure where the maximum amplitude of the longitudinal shear stress and transverse shear stress was calculated during cyclic loading. The FEM is proposed for maximum shear stress from loading of lamella structure, and a method is predicted to analyze the likely fatigue crack generation. It is possible to obtain the important basic data which can be guaranteed in the ductility of high carbon steel wire by using FEM simulation.
