In this study, we conducted verification of key influencing factors during cone penetration testing using the developed Mini Cone Penetration Tester (Mini-CPT), and compared the experimental results with empirical formulas to validate the equipment. The Mini-CPT was designed to measure cone penetration resistance through a Strain Gauge, and the resistance values were calibrated using a Load Cell. Moreover, the influencing factors were verified using a model ground constituted in a soil box. The primary influencing factors examined were the boundary effect of the soil box, the distance between cone penetration points, and the cone penetration speed. For the verification of these factors, the experiment was conducted with the model ground having a relative density of 63.76% in the soil box. It was observed that the sidewall effect was considerably significant, and the cone penetration resistance measured at subsequent penetration points was higher due to the influence between penetration points. However, within the speed range considered, the effect of penetration speed was almost negligible. The measured cone penetration resistance was compared with predicted values obtained from literature research, and the results were found to be similar. It is anticipated that using the developed Mini-CPT for constructing model grounds in the laboratory will lead to more accurate geotechnical property data.

본 연구에서는 지간 15m 이하의 지중파형강판 박스구조물의 3차원 해석 시 적용 가능한 3차원 보강판 모델을 제안하고 검증하였다. 3차원 보강판 모델은 실제 파형강판의 단면계수와 종방향과 길이방향의 단면특성을 고려하여 지중강판 박스구조물을 모델링함으로써, 3차원 해석 시 모델링을 간편하게 하고 해석시간을 단축할 수 있는 유용한 해석 모델이다. 이 모델을 검증하기 위해 3단계의 시공과정(정점부까지의 뒷채움, 토피고까지의 뒷채움, 활하중재하)에 따른 거동분석으로부터 최대 변위와 최대모멘트를 유발하는 재하상태를 도출하였고, 제안된 단면을 통해 파형강판의 거동을 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 3차원 등가판 모델, 2차원 모델, 실제파형강판 구조물과 동일하게 모델링한 3차원 Corrugated 판 모델과 비교 검증하였다. 해석결과 2차원 모델과 3차원 등가판 모델은 활하중 조건에서 3차원 Corrugated 판 모델과 큰 차이를 나타내었으나, 3차원 보강판 모델은 모든 해석 결과에서 3차원 Corrugated 판 모델과 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다.

Since experimental evaluation of underground RC structures considering interaction with surrounding soil medium is quite difficult to be simulated, the evaluation for the underground RC structures using an analytical method can be applied very usefully. For underground structures interacted with surrounding soils, it is important to consider path-dependent RC constitutive model, soil constitutive model, and interface model between structure and soil, simultaneously. In this paper, an elastoplastic interface model which consider thickness of interface is proposed and applied for the analysis considering the interaction. Failure mechanism of underground RC box of two story and two box subway station under seismic action is obtained and the effects of ductility of intermediate column to entire underground RC system are investigated through analysis.

The analysis of static and dynamic characteristics of reinforced roadbed materials was performed through model and laboratory tests. The strength characteristic of reinforced roadbed materials such as HMS-25 and soil were investigated through the unconfined axial compression test, the model soil box test and the combined resonant column and torsional shear test. The unconfined axial compression strength of HMS-25 shows a steady increasement in strength due to the chemical hardening reaction between HMS-25 and water. The result of model soil box test reveals that railroad roadbed of HMS-25 is better than that of soil in several aspects, such as, bearing capacity and settlement. The combined resonant column and torsional shear test result indicates that shear modulus of HMS-25 and soil increase with the power of 0.5 to the confining pressure and linear relationship to normalized shear modulus and damping ratio.

Currently, layered geogrid method (LGM) is the commonly practiced technique for reinforcement of slopes. In this paper the geogrid-box method (GBM) is introduced as a new approach for reinforcement of rock-soil slopes. To achieve the objectives of this study, a laboratory setup was designed and the slopes without reinforcements and reinforced with LGM and GBM were tested under the loading of a circular footing. The effect of vertical spacing between geogrid layers and box thickness on normalized bearing capacity and failure mechanism of slopes was investigated. A series of 3D finite element analysis were also performed using ABAQUS software to supplement the results of the model tests. The results indicated that the load-settlement behavior and the ultimate bearing capacity of footing can be significantly improved by the inclusion of reinforcing geogrid in the soil. It was found that for the slopes reinforced with GBM, the displacement contours are widely distributed in the rock-soil mass underneath the footing in greater width and depth than that in the reinforced slope with LGM, which in turn results in higher bearing capacity. It was also established that by reducing the thickness of geogrid-boxes, the distribution and depth of displacement contours increases and a longer failure surface is developed, which suggests the enhanced bearing capacity of the slope. Based on the studied designs, the ultimate bearing capacity of the GBM-reinforced slope was found to be 11.16% higher than that of the slope reinforced with LGM. The results also indicated that, reinforcement of rock-soil slopes using GBM causes an improvement in the ultimate bearing capacity as high as 24.8 times more than that of the unreinforced slope.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimal joint positions which can minimize distresses of concrete pavement containing box culvert with horizontally skewed angles. METHODS : The concrete pavement containing the box culvert with different skewed angles and soil cover depths was modeled by 3 dimensional finite element method. The contact boundary condition was used between concrete and soil structures in addition to the nonlinear material property of soil in the finite element model. A dynamic analysis was performed by applying the self weight of pavement, negative temperature gradient of slab, and moving vehicle load simultaneously. RESULTS : In case of zero skewed angle ($0^{\circ}$), the maximum tensile stress of slab was the lowest when the joint was positioned directly over side of box culvert. In case there was a skewed angle, the maximum tensile stress of slab was the lowest when the joint passed the intersection between side of the box culvert and longitudinal centerline of slab. The magnitude of the maximum tensile stress converged to a constant value regardless the joint position from 3m of soil cover depth at all of the horizontally skewed angles. CONCLUSIONS : More reasonable and accurate design of the concrete pavement containing the box culvert can be possible based on the research results.

일반적으로 하천제방 배수통문은 다양한 원인에 의하여 붕괴가 발생하며, 특히 연약지반 상에 말뚝기초를 이용하여 설치된 경우 1) 주변 지반(외부토체)/말뚝기초 처리된 암거 상단(내부토체)의 상대적 침하 차에 의한 배수통문 암거 측벽부의 다짐도 약화, 2) 하이드로릭 플랙처링에 의한 홍수 시 침투수압의 지속적 반복에 의한 측벽부 교란 등에 의해 붕괴가 발생한다. 특히 측벽부는 시공여건상 다짐장비의 접근이 어려운 다짐 취약부이고, 이질재료에 의한 마찰력 감소로 전단저항력이 일반 흙의 전단강도에 비해 1/3 이상 감소하여 발현된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 주변 지반에 인위적인 변형을 발생시키는 방법으로 침하를 모사한 실내 모형실험을 통하여 연약지반 상 말뚝 기초된 배수통문 암거의 상대적 침하에 따른 외부토체/내부토체 발현 메카니즘과 저판확폭에 따른 배수통문 암거 측벽부 다짐도 향상 효과를 비교 분석함으로써 배수통문 저판 확폭을 통한 주변지반 공동 확장 억제기법을 제시하였다.

One major problem in the model testing is the boundary effect and size effect caused by the limit in the size of the container. To overcome this problem, various types of laminar boxes are gradually manufactured and used in the shaking table test, which ideally has zero stiffness to horizontal shear. In this study, a small-scale laminar box is manufactured, which is composed of 6 thin aluminum rectangular hollow plates, and its inside dimensions are 300 mm length by 200 mm width by 350 mm depth. Shaking table tests are performed both with the laminar box and the rigid box under the same conditions, where displacements and accelerations are measured at various points of the box and model ground. As result of analyzing the measured data, during the propagation of input seismic motion from the bottom to the ground surface, the relative displacement of the model ground and the amplification of acceleration is hardly amplified in the rigid box. Because of the effect of stress waves reflecting from the rigid wall, the acceleration is slightly decreased at the edge in the rigid box. The laminar box, manufactured in this study, has a problem in that the soil behavior at the edge of ground surface is affected by the inertia force of the top layer due to its excessive self-weight.

The mono-layer cover system is composed of soils only as a filling material and various plants are planted on the surface to control the water balance in the cover system. In this paper, the mono-layer cover system was considered as an alternative landfill final cover system and developed a model that could utilize industrial by-product (especially, coal ash & phosphogypsum) as additive filling materials. The mixture of granite soil, coal ash, and phosphogypsum was placed as a cover material in a box constructed with cement. Laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the environmental effect on the utilization of coal ash & phosphogypsum and to determine the mxing ratio of each materials. In the leaching test, all materials showed lower heavy metal concentration than the threshold values of regulation. The optimum mixing ratio of materials which was applied to field model test was determined to soil (4) : coal ash (1) : phosphogypsum (1) on the volume base. Field model tests were continued from February to July, 2004 in the soil box that was constructed with cement block. It was verified that coal ash and phospogypsum mixed with soil was to be safe environmentally and the water balance of mono-layer cover system was reasonable.

1g 진동대 실험을 수행할 때, 양 벽면이 고정되어 있는 강성토조를 시용하기도 한다. 1g 진동대 실험에 강성토조를 사용하는 경우 양 쪽 벽면에서 파동이 반사가 되고 모형지반의 동적 전단 변형이 구속되어 위상차 및 가속도 증폭이 제대로 발생하지 않는 문제가 생긴다. 반면 토조를 얇은 층(Laminate)으로 구성하고 각 층 사이의 수평거동을 허용해 주는 특수형태의 토조(층 분할 토조, Laminar Shear Box)를 사용하면 이와 같은 문제를 상당부분 해결할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 1g 진동대 실험을 통하여 경계 조건이 서로 다른 두 종류의 토조(강성토조; Rigid Box or Rigid container, 층 분할 토조; Laminar Shear Box or Laminar container)에 동적 특성이 동일한 연약한 모형 점토 지반을 조성하여 그 거동의 차이들을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 강성토조는 벽면의 강성으로 인해 지반내의 위상차가 적게 발생하였으며, 가속도 증폭 양상은 자유장 거동과 많이 다른 결과를 보였다. 이와 달리 층 분할 토조는 지반의 전단변위를 구속하지 않고 실제지반에서 발생하는 지반 내 위상차 및 가속도 증폭 현상을 상대적으로 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 층 분할 토조(Laminar shear box)는 강성토조(Rigid Box)와 비교할 때 자유장 지반의 동적거동을 더 정확히 재현해 주는 것을 실험결과를 통해 분석할 수 있었다.
