In this study, construction modulus, void ratio and settlement characteristics of 38 CFRD in domestic and foreign countries were investigated from monitoring data. The effect of field dry density and void ratio to dam body was analyzed. The standard void ratio of CFRD that can be easily used by dam designers and field engineers was proposed from the monitoring data. It was confirmed that we can get the degree of compaction needed for reasonable compaction of dam body by calculating the field dry density from inverse operation of the standard void ratio. It was thought that the void ratio of CFRD depends on shape coefficient and in case of a high shape coefficient, the void ratio was high with its void ratio 0.17 -0.38.

Void ratios are one of the key parameters for exact calculation of settlement of soft groundse. In the study, shear wave velocities of a soft ground were used to measure the field void ratio using bender elements sensors. The bender-element probes were installed in situ at the depths of 3, 5 and 8m on a pre-loading site near Incheon, Korea. During 90 days after installation, the changes of shear wave velocity and ground surface settlement were measured. The field void ratio was estimated from measured shear wave velocities. The void ratio estimated by the shear wave velocity measured by bender elements agrees well with the measured values in the field.

Determination of geotechnical characteristics of soil is either to use the field samples to measure the characteristics of soil through laboratory test or measuring the characteristics directly in the field. Field test can be derived similar value by considering characteristics of site and laboratory test can be confirmed the characteristic of soil by testing with field samples. This article describes relative density as the measure of compaction for cohesionless soils and presents several simple and mathematical relationships to help engineers estimate needed parameters for relative density calculations. The main purpose of this research is to investigate possible correlations between coefficient of uniformity, coefficient of curvature, maximum and minimum void ratio, mean grain size. Results show a linear relationship between the minimum and maximum void ratios and a power function relationship between coefficient of uniformity and the limiting void ratios. Void ratio range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum void ratios, appeared to be log normally distributed but showed no simple mathematical fit to the data. these results were shown to help engineers estimate needed parameters for relative density calculations.

The void ratio and elastic moduli are design parameters used in geotechnical engineering to understand soil behavior. Elastic and electromagnetic waves have been used to evaluate the various soil characteristics due to high resolution. The objective of this study is to evaluate the void ratio and elastic moduli based on elastic wave velocities and electrical resistivity. The Field Velocity Resistivity Probe (FVRP) is developed to obtain the elastic and electromagnetic wave profiles of soil during penetration. The Piezoelectric Disk Elements (PDE) and Bender Elements (BE) are used as transducers for measuring the elastic wave velocities such as compressional and shear wave velocities. The Electrical Resistivity Probe (ERP) is also installed for capturing the electrical resistivity profile. The application test is carried out on the southern coast of the Korean peninsula. The field tests are performed at a depth of 6~20 m, at 10 cm intervals for measuring elastic wave velocities and at 0.5cm intervals for measuring electrical resistivity. The elastic moduli such as constraint and shear moduli are calculated by using measured elastic wave velocities. The void ratios are also evaluated based on the elastic wave velocities and the electrical resistivity. Furthermore, the converted void ratios by using FVRP are compared with the volumetric void ratio obtained by a standard consolidation test. The comparison shows that the void ratios based on the FVPR match the volume based void ratio well. This study suggests that the FVRP may be a useful device to effectively determine the elastic moduli and void ratio in the field.

Many methods and techniques have been developed to obtain the accurate design parameters in soft soils. In particular, several researchers suggest the techniques to get the void ratio for understanding the soil behavior. The objective of this paper verifies the accuracy of the proposed analytical solution for determining the void ratio based on the elastic wave velocities. The paper covers the theories of Wood, Biot, Gassmann and Foti proposed chronological order. The total theory represents the wave propagation in fully saturated medium. To verify the proposed analytical solution, the laboratory and field tests are carried out. After measuring the elastic wave, the void ratios are assessed using proposed equation. The volume based void ratios are also obtained for comparing with the estimated value by several equations. The values estimated by volume, Gassmann and Biot are show good similarity. However, the void ratios based on Wood and Foti methods have a slightly different trend. This study suggests that the theories of Biot and Gassmann may be a useful equation for assessing the void ratio using elastic wave velocities in the field.

전단 강성은 지반 거동을 이해하기 위한 필수적인 요소로 인식되고 있으며, 특히 탄성계수 및 간극비는 구조물의 기본적인 설계 정수로서 그 중요성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 전단파와 압축파 같은 탄성파 및 전기비저항 측정이 가능한 현장 탄성파 및 전기비저항 측정 장비(FVRP)를 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 대상지반의 탄성계수 및 간극비를 산정하는 것이다. 압축파 및 전단파는 각각 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트와 벤더 엘리먼트를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그리고 전기비저항은 소형 전기비저항 측정 프로브를 제작하여FVRP 선단에 설치하여 측정하였다. 개발된 장비는 실내의 대형토조와 현장에 적용되었다. 대형 토조실험의 경우, 모래와 점토를 슬러리 상태에서 혼합하여 지반을 조성한 후 상재하중을 가하여 조성된 지반을 압밀 시킨 후 진행되었으며, 탄성파 및 전기비저항의 측정은 매 심도 1cm 간격으로 수행되었다. 현장 실험은 남해안 지역에서 수행되었으며, 탄성파 및 전기비저항 측정은 관입심도 6m부터 20m까지 10cm 간격으로 수행하였다. 토조 및 현장 실험을 통해 측정된 탄성파와 전기비저항은 이론적인 관계식을 이용하여 탄성계수 및 간극비로 환산되었다. 탄성파와 전기비저항을 이용한 간극비는 부피를 이용하여 산정한 간극비와 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 탄성파와 전기비저항을 동시에 측정할 수 있는 FVRP는 연약지반의 탄성계수 및 간극비 산정에 유용한 장비가 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

In rainy weather, permeable concrete pavement has advantages such as good drainage, increased skid resistance, reduced splash and spray behind vehicles for improving the safety of driving vehicles as well as reduction of the traffic noise. It also contributes to improvement of traffic environment. In this study, the fundamental properties of permeable concrete in accordance with maximum size of aggregate, sand percentage and unit cement content were investigated for practical use of permeable concrete pavement. Although the permeability standard for typical permeable asphalt-concrete pavement is $1{\times}10^{-2}cm/sec$, the researchers determined that the coefficient of permeability of the permeable concrete should be set higher at $1{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$. Then, the researchers measured the coefficient of permeability, strength, void ratio, and continuous void ratio of the permeable concrete while varying maximum size of the aggregate, sand percentage, unit cement content for detailed analysis. It was found that the void ratio, continuous void ratio, and flexural strength were about 15%, 12%, and 5.0MPa, respectively, when the permeability of the concrete was set at $1{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$. Given that the maximum size of aggregate was $10{\sim}13mm$, we reached the conclusion that the best mix design for permeable concrete was $0{\sim}20%$ of sand percentage and $380kg/m^3$ of unit cement content.

간극비는 지반 특성을 나타내는 중요한 인자로서 대상 지반의 기본적 성질, 압축성, 다짐 등의 다양한 공학적 거동을 반영한다. 간극비는 현장의 시료를 채취한 후 실내 실험을 통하여 현장 상태와 동일한 조건의 값을 결정하고 있다. 하지만, 이와 같은 방법은 시료채취 시 발생하는 응력해방, 운반 과정에서 유발되는 시료진동, 그리고 실험 준비과정에서 발생하는 오차 요인으로 참값을 반영하지 못하는 한계가 있다. 이를 해소하고자 현장에서 획득한 탄성파 속도로 간극비를 도출 할 수 있는 다양한 이론식들이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장에서 획득한 탄성파 속도를 이용하여 기존 이론식으로 간극비를 도출하고, 각 이론식들의 특성을 오차규범(error norm) 방법으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 이론식은 Wood 방법, Gassmann 방법 그리고 Foti 방법으로 총 3가지이며, 탄성파 속도외의 입력값들은 문헌값을 이용하여 결정하였다. 현장 탄성파 속도는 기존에 개발되어 다양한 현장에 활용되고 있는 현장 탄성파 속도 프로브 (Field Velocity Probe: FVP)를 이용하였으며, 실험은 광양지역에서 수행하였다. 이론식으로 분석된 간극비 결과는 현장에서 채취한 압밀실험 결과값과 비교하여 신뢰성을 검증하였으며 Gassmann 방법이 가장 신뢰성 높게 나타났다. 뿐만아니라 각 식들이 가지고 있는 오차를 분석하기 위하여 하나의 함수 값을 변화시키며 도출되는 간극비 값의 신뢰성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 각 이론식 마다 인자들에 의하여 다양한 특성을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 도출된 결과를 이용하여 현장 특성에 맞는 이론식을 선택한다면 현장에서 더욱 신뢰성 높은 간극비 주상도를 도출 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Many aspects of the behavior of sands are affected by the content of non-plastic fine particles and these various aspects should be included in a constitutive model for the soil behavior. The fines content affects maximum and minimum void ratios, compressibility, shear strength, and static liquefaction under undrained conditions. Twenty-eight undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on mixtures of sand and fine particles with fines contents of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, and 100% to study the effects of fines on void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. The experiments were performed at low consolidation pressures at which liquefaction may occur in near-surface, natural deposits. The presence of fines creates a particle structure in the soil that is highly compressible, enhancing the potential for liquefaction, and the fines also alter the basic stress-strain and volume change behavior, which should be modeled to predict the occurrence of static liquefaction in the field. The void ratio at which liquefaction occurs for each sand/fines mixture was determined, and the variation of compressibility with void ratio was determined for each mixture. This allowed a relation to be determined between fines content, void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. Such relations may vary from sand to sand, but the present results are believed to indicate the trend in such relations.
