In order to clarify the relation between the physical properties and the strength parameters of compaction materials and to develop a method for evaluating the strength parameters required for design from the physical indices including void ratio and dry density, compaction test, one-dimensional compression test, and exhausted-drained triaxial compression test were carried out with decomposed granite soils. The test results showed that the specimens became over-consolidated by compaction and the increase of the strength parameters of the specimens by the increase of the compaction energy could be verified quantitatively. A method for the evaluation of strength parameters from the void ratio of soil after compaction using preconsolidation theory which evaluates over-consolidation of materials was developed and its engineering applicability was tested for verification.

In case of general structures, it has been known that the strain amplitude band experienced by the base in a state of service load is less than 1% and most of the base show low, strain amplitude behavior less than 0.01%. In this study examining the influence affected to dynamic behavior in a condition of the low strain amplitude of unsaturated decomposed granite soils, the resonant column test, using some samples in Su-won area, has been performed for each degree of saturation resulted from different void ratios and confined stress. It is found out that the minimum value of the damping ratio occurred in roughly $17{\sim}18%$ according to void ratios regardless of confined pressure in the same manner with the case of the maximum shear elastic modulus; and it is estimated that for the influence of surface tension in the optimum degree of saturation, the damping ratio appears to be least.

Dynamic characteristics of decomposed granite soil mixed with stone sludge and bentonite were investigated to figure out adequate applications of stone sludge, A total of 16 specimens with different stone sludge contents of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and bentonite with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% were prepared. Resonant column tests were carried out on each specimen at different confining pressure. The results showed that the optimum mixing ratio which can satisfy the maximum shear modulus and the minimum damping ratio of the decomposed granite soils ranges from 5% to 10% respectively.

In this study, the deformation and strength characteristics for non-woven geotextile-reinforced decomposed granite soil on the triaxial compression test under the same condition as the underground. The specimen of reinforced earth was made of the decomposed granite soil imbedded horizontal in a given space with non-woven geotextile. Four different type of specimen was used in this experimental programme; UR for unreinforced, R-1 for a single non-woven geotextile sheet, R-2 for two sheets, and R-3 for three sheets. According to the testing results, it was found that the strength of the reinforced soil increased when the non-woven geotextile sheets were more used. These results would be applied to the design of reinforced earth structure through the theoretical interpretation method.

화강풍화토의 강도와 변형특성을 조사하기 위하여 불포화배수 삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 주응력방향과 다짐방향을 0, 45, 90도의 세가지 방향성을 갖도록 하였다. 등방압축시 발생하는 압축변형률은 다짐각도에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 이차압축시의 변형거동에 관한 시간의존성은 다짐각도와 관계가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 다짐각도가 압축강도와 변형에 미치는 영향은 특히 낮은 구속압력시에 크다. 다짐각도가 다르다 하더라도 다일러턴시 비율은 다일러턴시로 인한 강도증가와 상관하여 변화한다. 따라서 다짐풍화토는 초기 비등방성 조직을 갖고 있는 모래와 같이 비등방성 역학적 성질을 갖는다고 할 수 있다.

Recently, the calculation of horizontal bearing capacity of piles foundation has been considered very important for earthquake or wind resistant design in Korea. This study deals with the lateral resistance of PHC pile instead of vertical capacity for earthquake resistant design as well as wind. As case study, the prediction values were compared with measured ones based on ASTM. During this research, Matlock & Reese, Davisson & Gill, Broms and Chang's methods were selected in calculating prediction of lateral resistance of PHC piles. In decomposed granite and clayey soils, The result showed that prediction values proposed by Matlock & Reese(Davisson & Gill), Chang and Broms were smaller values than real values. four proposed methods by Matlock & Reese(Davisson & Gill) and Chang based on lateral deflection and Broms by ultimate lateral resistance turned out valid in view of engineering practice.

Since decomposed granite soil shows various characteristics of shear behavior dependent on initial conditions such as weathering degree and grain breakage, it is nacessary to invert ligate stress -strain relationship and changes of shear characteristics for different initial conditions. Associated with abovefnentioned view, direct shear tests, and triaxial compression tutsts(Ef, CD) were carried out in this study for undisturbed and disturbed compacted weathered granite samples obtained from 4 construction work sites with the various weathering degree and components of parent rocks. The deformation behavior of undisturbed samples under small confining stress shows hardening to softening, which is similar to that of over nsolidated clay whereas disturbed weathered granite soils do hardeningfonstant regardless of weathering degree, which is also similar to sedimentary clay. Conventional direct shear-tests for undisturbed samples show a tendency to overestimate cohesion. It is possidle to approximate stress ratio(q/p') and volumetric increment ratio(dv/ds) in the triaxital compression tests by an equation, ($dv/d\varepsilon,=\alpha(M-\eta))$ irrespective of moisture content, weathering degree and disturbance.

The aims of this study are to evaluate the application on the stress-strain behavior of granite Soil using Lade's double work hardening constitutive model based on the theories of elasticity and plasticity. From two different sites of construction work, two disturbed and compacted weathered granite samples which are different in partical size and degree of weathering respectively were obtained. The specimen employed were sampled at Iksan and Pochon in order to predict the constitutive model. Using the computer program based on the regression analysis, 11 soil parameters for the model were determined from the simple tests such as an isotropic compression-expansion test and a series of drained conventional triaxial tests. In conclusion, it is shown that Lade's double work hardening model gives the good applicability for processing of stress-strain, work-hardening, work-softening and soil dilatancy. Therefore, this model in its present form is applicable to the compacted decomposed granite soil.

Decomposed granite soils are in a wide range of conditions depending on the degrees of weathering. This paper is intended to examine laboratory tests such as consolidation tests and conventional triaxial compression tests conducted in order to find out the mechanical properties of Cheongju granite soil. Along with the foregoing, the results of basic physical tests conducted in order to grasp the physical properties of Cheongju granite soil were described and based on the results, methods to calculate the mechanical parameters of numerical approaches using Lade's double surface work-hardening constitutive model were examined. Finally, it is intended to explain the stress properties of Cheongju granite soil used as a geotechnical material based on its shear behavior and critical state concept using the results of isotropic consolidation tests and triaxial compression tests. As a conclusion, it can be seen that in the relationship between confining stress and maximum deviator stress, the slope is maintained at a constant value of 2.95. In the drained CTC test, maximum deviator stress generally existed in a range of axial strain of 6~8% and larger dilatancy phenomena appeared when confining stress was smaller. Finally, based on the results of the CTC tests on Cheongju granite soil, although axial strain, deviator stress and pore water pressure showed mechanical properties similar to those of overconsolidated soil, Cheongju granite soil showed behavior similar to that of normally consolidated soil in terms of volumetric strain.
