본 연구는 토석류의 유통성과 관련하여 세립토의 흐름특성, 유변학적 모델들의 적용가능성 및 액성상태 의존성 유변학적 특성들을 비교 분석하였다. 입자크기에 따른 유변학적 특성을 살펴보고자 점토질이 풍부한 지중해 해저점토와 실트질이 풍부한 캐나다 동부 뉴펀들랜드 와부시 호수에서 채취한 광미에 대한 물성특성을 분석하였다. 점토질이 풍부한 세립토의 경우 전형적인 전단담화(shear thinning) 거동을 보이는 반면, 실트질 광미의 경우는 전단담화와 Bingham 유체 거동을 함께 보인다. 후자의 경우, 전단변형률속도를 높임에 따라 Bingham 유체처럼 거동하였다. 이러한 현상학적 차이는 입자크기에 따른 유동특성곡선의 차이에서 기인한 것이다. 항복응력과 소성점도의 결정은 전단변형에 의한 유동 입자들의 구조적 변화와 응력상태와 관련되기 때문이다. 세립토(< 0.075mm)를 다량 함유한 토석류의 유동성을 역해석하고자 할 때, 퇴적형상(흐름 양상, 퇴적층의 모양, 두께 및 길이 등)은 항복응력과 소성점도에 의해 결정된다. 항복응력과 소성점도는 액성지수의 함수로 나타낼 수 있으므로, 토석류의 발생가능지역에서 액성상태에 따른 토석류의 유동성을 평가할 지표로 활용할 수 있다.

인디아나주 도로국 (INDOT, Indiana Department of Transportation)에서는 부분적으로 1990년대 초반부터 토사개량(지반 안정화는 아님)에 대한 저비용의 건설재료로서 석회노분을 사용해왔다. 그러나 석회노분을 포함한 흙의 강도향상은 설계과정에서 노상의 안정화계산에 반영되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 석회노분이 수화된 석회와 유사한 공학적 성질을 지닌 재료인지를 평가하기 위하여 수행되었으며, 인디아나주에서 흔히 접할수 있는 A-4, A-6, A-7-6와 같이 세립분이 우세한 다양한 흙과 조합하여 석회노분의 역학적 장점들을 평가하기 위해 일련의 실내실험들을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 아터버그한계, 표준다짐, 일축압축, CBR, 체적 안정성과 회복탄성계수등의 실험들을 수행하였으며 그 결과 비처리토에 비해 처리토의 경우 60-400% 정도의 범위로 일축압축강도가 증가하였다. 비혼합토에 대한 CBR 값의 범위가 3-18인 것에 반하여, 혼합토에 대한 CBR 값들은25-70의 범위내에 있다. 또한, 일반적으로 혼합토의 회복탄성계수도 상당히 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과는 석회노분은 수화된 석회에 대한 대안으로서 실용적이고 경제적인 재료이며 세립토의 강도를 향상시키며 작업성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 암시한다.

본 연구는 유류 화합물 중 phenol을 대표적인 친수성 유기 화합물로, phenanthrene을 대표적인 소수성 유기오염물로 선정하여 실내에서 인위적으로 오염시킨 세립질 지반에 EK 정화 실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 유기 오염물의 제거효율을 높이기 위해 기존의 양수처리에서 향상기법으로 사용하는 계면활성제를 이용한 향상기법을 연구하였다. 실내 bench 스케일 실험결과, 물에 대한 용해도가 높은 phenol은 비교적 쉽게 제거되었지만, 용해도가 낮은 phenanthrene은 거의 제거되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 계면활성제를 적용한 향상기법에서 phenanthrene이 음극부 근처에서 누적되는 지연현상을 보였지만, 농도가 증가할수록 제거효율은 증가하였다. 가동시간을 증가시킨 실험을 통해 시간을 증가시키는 것이 계면활성제의 농도를 증가시키는 것보다 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다.

Soils are generally classified as fine-grained or coarse-grained depending on the percentage content of the primary constituents. In reality, soils are actually made up of mixed and composite constituents. Soils primarily classified as fine-grained, still consists of a range of coarse particles as secondary constituents in between 0% to 50%. A laboratory scale model test was conducted to investigate the influence of coarse particles on the physical (e.g., density, water content, and void ratio) and mechanical (e.g., quick undrained shear strength) properties of primarily classified fine-grained cohesive soils. Pure kaolinite clay and sand-mixed kaolinite soil (e.g., sand content: 10%, 20%, and 30%) having various water contents (60%, 65%, and 70%) were preconsolidated at different stress levels (0, 13, 17.5, 22 kPa). The quick undrained shear strength properties were determined using the conventional Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT) method and the new Fall Cone Test (FCT) method. The corresponding void ratios and densities with respect to the quick undrained shear strength were also observed. Correlations of the physical properties and quick undrained shear strengths derived from the SCPT and FCT were also established. Comparison of results showed a significant relationship between the two methods. From the results of FCT and SCPT, there is a decreasing trend of quick undrained shear strength, strength increase ratio ($S_u/P_o$), and void ratio (e) as the sand content is increased. The quick undrained shear strength generally decreases with increased water content. For the same water content, increasing the sand content resulted to a decrease in quick undrained shear strength due to reduced adhesion, and also, resulted to an increase in density. Similarly, it is observed that the change in density is distinctively noticeable at sand content greater than 20%. However, for sand content lower than 10%, there is minimal change in density with respect to water content. In general, the results showed a decrease in quick undrained shear strength for soils with higher amounts of sand content. Therefore, as the soil adhesion is reduced, the cone penetration resistances of the FCT and SCPT reflects internal friction and density of sand in the total shear strength.

자연상태의 흙은 다양한 크기의 입자로 구성되어 있으며, 이 흙의 역학적 거동 중 전단거동은 입도 분포에 크게 영향을 받는다. 그리고 자연상태의 흙은 조립토와 세립토가 다양하게 혼합되어 존재하기 때문에 그 역학적 성질인 전단특성을 명확히 파악하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 흙의 입도 분포가 흙의 전단특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위한 목적으로 조립토는 모래를 세립토는 실트를 이용해 모래에 대한 실트의 함유량을 변화시켜 입도 분포가 다른 사질토를 조성한 후 링 전단시험을 수행하였다. 그리고 물 공급 시 입도 분포가 다른 사질토의 전단특성 변화를 확인하기 위해 링 전단시험 중 물을 공급하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 실트 함유량이 증가할수록 전단강도는 점차 증가하다 실트 함유량이 모래보다 많아지면 전단강도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 수분 공급 시 실트 함유량에 따라 잔류전단강도는 완만한 경사를 나타내며 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Geosynthetic reinforced soil method in coarse-grained soils has been widely used in last decades. Two effective factors on soil-geosynthetic interaction are confining stresses and loading rate in clay. In terms of methodology, one pull-out test with four different strain rates, namely 0.75, 1.25, 1.75 and 2.25 mm/min, and three different normal stresses equal to 20, 50, and 80 kg have been performed on specimens with dimensions of 30×30×17 cm in the saturated, consolidated condition. The obtained results have demonstrated that activation of geosynthetic strength at contact surface depends on the applied stress. In addition, the increase in normal stress would increase the shear strength at contact surface between clay and geogrid. Moreover, it is concluded that the strain rate increment would increase the shear strength.

PURPOSES : This paper presents a comparison study between dynamic and static analyses of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing, which is a test used for evaluating layered material stiffness. METHODS: In this study, a forward model, based on nonlinear subgrade models, was developed via finite element analysis using ABAQUS. The subgrade material coefficients from granular and fine-grained soils were used to represent strong and weak subgrade stiffnesses, respectively. Furthermore, the nonlinearity in the analysis of multi-load FWD deflection measured from intact PCC slab was investigated using the deflection data obtained in this study. This pavement has a 14-inch-thick PCC slab over fine-grained soil. RESULTS: From case studies related to the nonlinearity of FWD analysis measured from intact PCC slab, a nonlinear subgrade model-based comparison study between the static and dynamic analyses of nondestructive FWD tests was shown to be effectively performed; this was achieved by investigating the primary difference in pavement responses between the static and dynamic analyses as based on the nonlinearity of soil model as well as the multi-load FWD deflection. CONCLUSIONS : In conclusion, a comparison between dynamic and static FEM analyses was conducted, as based on the FEM analysis performed on various pavement structures, in order to investigate the significance of the differences in pavement responses between the static and dynamic analyses.

In this study, laboratory model test carried out to present the suitable range of particle size distribution and clogging behavior of recycled aggregates and crushed stone as horizontal drains in soft ground. The recycled aggregates and crushed stone showed clogging phenomenon because the top fill material and bottom clay inflow into the horizontal drains. The pp mat was the most effective method to minimize clogging phenomenon. The horizontal coefficient of permeability in case of installing the pp mat showed largely 2.1 times more than the case of not installing. When the pp mat is not installing, the thickness of fine grained soil inflow into the horizontal drains showed 6.7~13.3% range in top fill material and 3.3~6.7% range in bottom clay. Overall, the reduction of the discharge capacity by fine grained soil inflow showed small in recycled aggregates and crushed stone. Also, the appropriate criterion range of particle size distribution is presented to make use of a horizontal drains in soft ground on the basis of laboratory test.

The Segregation Potential (SP) is one of the most widely used predictors of frost heave in cold regions. Laboratory step-freezing tests determining a representative SP at the onset of the formation of the last ice lens (near the thermal steady state condition) can predict susceptibility to frost heave. Previous work has proposed empirical semi-log fitting for determination of the representative SP and applied it to several fine-grained soils, but considering only frost-susceptible soils. The presence of fines in coarse-grained soil affects frost susceptibility. Therefore, it is required to evaluate the applicability of the empirical semi-log fitting for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils with fines content. This paper reports laboratory frost heave tests for fines contents of 5%-70%. The frost susceptibility of soil mixtures composed of sand and silt was classified by the representative SP, and the suitability of the empirical semi-log fitting method was assessed. Combining semi-log fitting with simple laboratory frost heave testing using a temperature-controllable cell is shown to be suitable for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils. In addition, initially non-frost-susceptible soil became frost susceptible at a 10%-20% weight fraction of fines. This threshold fines content matched well with transitions in the engineering characteristics of both the unfrozen and frozen soil mixtures.

The purpose of this study is investigated the method for estimation of the liquefaction on the reclaimed land, located in Incheon and assessed the ability of liquefaction under the condition of criteria, which is the magnitude '6.5' of seismic on the basis of the domestic seismic characteristics. Performed not only field test but the experiment as well to study how the fine content would affect into the dreging and reclaimed land and also estimated the safety factor through the empirical method and anticipated detail method based on the results. Within the reclaimed land, there are many sized soils which are almost extended from well-graded silty sand(SM) to poor-graded fine grained sand, and which have the condition, so called, the liquefaction which is easily to bring into under the circumstances within the ground. However, partly, now that the soil is mixed with silt and silty clay which include the content of fine grained dust quite a bit, the difficulties and inconveniences has been expected while trying to find the ratio of cyclic resistance, but finally Seed and Idriss method showed the most way when we estimate the safety factor on the liquefaction.
