A laboratory investigation into crude oil contaminated sand-concrete interface behavior is performed. The interface tests were carried out through a direct shear apparatus. Pure sand and sand-bentonite mixture with different crude oil contents and three concrete surfaces of different textures (smooth, semi-rough, and rough) were examined. The experimental results showed that the concrete surface texture is an effective factor in soil-concrete interface shear strength. The interface shear strength of the rough concrete surface was found higher than smooth and semi-rough concrete surfaces. In addition to the texture, the normal stress and the crude oil content also play important roles in interface shear strength. Moreover, the friction angle decreases with increasing crude oil content due to increase of oil concentration in soil and it increases with increasing interface roughness.

The aim of this paper was to investigating the effects of soil relative density, construction materials roughness, oil type (gasoil, crude oil, and used motor oil), and oil content on the internal and interface shear behavior of sand with different construction materials by means of a modified large direct shear test apparatus. Tests conducted on the soil-soil (S-S), soil-rough concrete (S-RC), soil-smooth concrete (S-SC), and soil-steel (S-ST) interfaces and results showed that the shear strength of S-S interface is always higher than the soil-material interfaces. Internal and interface friction angles of sand beds increased by increase in relative density and decreased by increasing oil content. The oil properties (especially viscosity) played a major role in interface friction behavior. Despite the friction angles of contaminated sands with viscous fluids drastically decreased, it compensated by the apparent cohesion and adhesion developed between the soil grains and construction materials.

The shear behavior of soil-concrete interface is mainly affected by the surface roughness of the two contact surfaces. The present research emphasizes on investigating the effect of roughness of soil-concrete interface on the interface shear behavior in two-layered laboratory testing samples. In these specially prepared samples, clay silt layer with density of $2027kg/m^3$ was selected to be in contact a concrete layer for simplifying the laboratory testing. The particle size testing and direct shear tests are performed to determine the appropriate particles sizes and their shear strength properties such as cohesion and friction angle. Then, the surface undulations in form of teeth are provided on the surfaces of both concrete and soil layers in different testing carried out on these mixed specimens. The soil-concrete samples are prepared in form of cubes of 10*10*30 cm. in dimension. The undulations (inter-surface roughness) are provided in form of one tooth or two teeth having angles $15^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$, respectively. Several direct shear tests were carried out under four different normal loads of 80, 150, 300 and 500 KPa with a constant displacement rate of 0.02 mm/min. These testing results show that the shear failure mechanism is affected by the tooth number, the roughness angle and the applied normal stress on the sample. The teeth are sheared from the base under low normal load while the oblique cracks may lead to a failure under a higher normal load. As the number of teeth increase the shear strength of the sample also increases. When the tooth roughness angle increases a wider portion of the tooth base will be failed which means the shear strength of the sample is increased.

An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the shear performance at the interface composed of structural laminates and concrete. The main variables are the number of CLT layers and the shape of the shear connector. The number of CLT layers consisted of 3 and 5 layers. A total of 6 test specimens for shear performance evaluation were prepared in the form of a shear connector, a direct screw type and a vertically embedded type. As a result of the experiment, similar behavior was shown in all specimens, regardless of the number of layers, including direct screw type (SC series) and vertically embedded type (VE series). The behavior at the joint surface was damaged due to the occurrence of initial shear cracks, expansion of shear groove cracks, and splaying at the interface after the maximum load.After the maximum load, the shear strength decreased gradually due to the effect of the shear connector. It can be seen that the shear strength of all specimens is determined by shear and compression stress failure of concrete at the interface of the notch joint.

The present study evaluates the interface shear strength between sand and different construction materials, namely steel and concrete, using direct shear test apparatus. The influence of surface roughness, mean size of sand particles, relative density of sand and size of the direct shear box on the interface shear behavior of sand with steel and concrete has been investigated. Test results show that the surface roughness of the construction materials significantly influences the interface shear strength. The peak and residual interface friction angles increase rapidly up to a particular value of surface roughness (critical surface roughness), beyond which the effect becomes negligible. At critical surface roughness, the peak and residual friction angles of the interfaces are 85-92% of the peak and residual internal friction angles of the sand. The particle size of sand (for morphologically identical sands) significantly influences the value of critical surface roughness. For the different roughness considered in the present study, both the peak and residual interaction coefficients lie in the range of 0.3-1. Moreover, the peak and residual interaction coefficients for all the interfaces considered are nearly identical, irrespective of the size of the direct shear box. The constitutive modeling of different interfaces followed the experimental investigation and it successfully predicted the pre-peak, peak and post peak interface shear response with reasonable accuracy. Moreover, the predicted stress-displacement relationship of different interfaces is in good agreement with the experimental results. The findings of the present study may also be applicable to other non-yielding interfaces having a similar range of roughness and sand properties.

본 연구에는 지반-그라우트 인터페이스 거동을 평가하기 위한 직접전단시험 장비를 제작하였으며, 제작된 시험 장비를 통해 풍화토, 풍화토-그라우트 두 종류의 시료에 대해 직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 전단응력-슬립 곡선 평가 결과 풍화토-그라우트의 잔류 전단 강도는 단일 풍화토의 잔류 전단 강도와 유사한 값을 나타냈으며, 풍화토-그라우트 인터페이스의 한계 상태 거동은 풍화토에 의해 결정된다는 것을 확인했다. 그러나, 최대 전단 강도의 경우 풍화토-그라우트 인터페이스에서 매우 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 최대 전단 강도의 증가율은 느슨한 지반에서 더 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 풍화토 입자와 그라우트 입자가 섞여 있는 인터페이스 레이어의 두께가 증가했기 때문으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 링전단시험 결과를 이용하여 말뚝-사질지반 사이의 전단거동을 정량화하였다. 링전단시험은 가장 일반적인 말뚝재료 - 콘크리트와 강 - 와 대표적인 사질토인 주문진표준사를 대상으로 수행하였으며, 두 재료 사이의 전단거동을 항복 이전과 잔류전단거동을 중심으로 확인하고 분석하였다. 시험결과를 통하여 다양한 상재압과 상대밀도의 영향 또한 분석하여, 그에 따른 전단거동을 각 재료 별 대표적인 마찰각으로 정량화하였다. 더 나아가, 추가적인 대변형 수치해석을 통하여 시험결과를 검증하였다. 링전단시험 및 수치해석을 수행한 결과, 사질토의 전단 중 발생하는 팽창과 수축특성에 의하여 전단거동을 크게 두 가지로 구분할 수 있었다. 1) 상대밀도가 높은 시료일수록 두 재료 간 전단응력곡선은 첨두전단응력이 관찰된 후 잔류전단응력이 발현되는 개형을 나타내었고, 반면에 2) 상대밀도가 낮은 시료일수록 두 재료 간 전단응력곡선은 첨두전단응력의 발현 없이 바로 잔류전단응력이 발현되는 이중곡선 형태를 보였다. 상재압은 소변형 범위에서는 전단거동 형태와 마찰각에 영향을 주지만, 상대밀도와 마찬가지로 대변형 하에서는 유의미한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 리메싱을 통한 대변형 수치해석 기법을 정립하여 링전단시험과 같은 대변형 전단거동을 모사하고 예측할 수 있도록 하였을 뿐 만 아니라, 링전단시험을 통하여 도출되고 대변형 수치해석으로 검증된 말뚝 재료와 사질토 사이의 마찰각은 실제 기초 말뚝의 수치해석과 설계에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper presents the results of an intensive experimental investigation on cyclic behavior of various sands and structural materials interface. Comprehensive measurements of the horizontal displacement and shear stresses developed during testing were performed using an automated constant normal load (CNL) cyclic direct shear test apparatus. Two different particle sizes (0.5 mm-0.25 mm and, 2.0 mm-1.0 mm) of sands having distinct shapes (rounded and angular) were tested in a cyclic direct shear testing apparatus at two vertical stress levels (${\sigma}=50kPa$, and 100 kPa) and two rates of displacement ($R_D=2.0mm/min$, and 0.025 mm/min) against various structural materials (i.e., steel, concrete, and wood). The cyclic direct shear tests performed during this investigation indicate that (i) the shear stresses developed during shearing highly depend on both the shape and size of sand grains; (ii) characteristics of the structural materials are closely related to interface response; and (iii) the rate of displacement is slightly effective on the results.
