본 연구는 낙동강 하구 대심도 연약지반에 항타관입된 PHC 말뚝에 대하여 SPT 지지력 공식으로 부터 계산된 선단지지력 값과 PDA 시험에서 얻어진 선단지지력 측정값을 비교하였다. 또한, SPT N값이 50이 넘는 경우에 대하여는 N값과 롯드 관입깊이의 선형관계를 가정하여 30cm 관입깊이에 해당하는 N값을 적용한 경우와 CPT $q_c$와의 상관성을 이용하여 $q_c$값으로부터 N값을 산정한 경우의 2가지 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 적용한 SPT 지지력 공식 모두 측정된 선단지지력 값과 차이가 났으며, SPT 지지력 공식은 대심도 연약지반에 항타 근입된 말뚝에 대하여 실제적인 설계를 수행할 때 신뢰하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 또한, N>50인 경우에 대하여 N값과 롯드 관입깊이의 선형관계를 적용하는 것은 지지력을 매우 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this application study, field pilot tests were performed to evaluate the validity of a proposed formula between the exerted electrical energy and SPT N-value based on the result of the basic study. Measurement sensors and recording system were developed to obtain exerted motor current and drilling depth in a field. By using the correlation formula proposed in the basic study, the measured motor current and boring speed were applied to predict SPT N-value and the predicted N-values were compared to SPT N-value of site exploration. From the comparisons it is verified that the exerted electrical energy to bore ground might be used to predict SPT N-value and pile tip location.

Ground drilling is a common method to conduct site investigation, soil improvement, and pile installation. In the point of construction ground drilling requires electrical energy to drill a hole in ground in which the energy exerts into the motor located on the head of auger and generates rotational power. In this paper it is verified that the exerted electrical energy is closely related to the strength characteristics of ground. Measurement sensors, recording system, and drilling system were developed to obtain exerted motor current and drilling depth and laboratory soil box tests were carried out. The measured motor current and boring depth were applied to predict SPT N-value and the prediction results were compared to SPT N-value of laboratory tests. The test results show that the exerted electrical energy to bore ground be a good index to estimate SPT N-value.

Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) are widely used in geotechnical investigation methods for railway roadbed. However, SPT can not be used on the Railway track, since the equipment may contact to the electric lines. However, a portable equipment can be used for geotechnical investigation without electrical hazard. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) is one of representative portable equipments. A normal portable DCP has usually not enough driving energy and the rigidity of cone-rod, so it is impossible to investigate the required investigate penetration depth. In this study, The adaptability of Pagani cone test which is one of portable dynamic cone penetrometer is studied and compared with SPT-N data. As a result of this study, the proposed correlation factors between Pagani cone test and SPT-N values after corrections is 1.48 for sandy soil and 1.33 for clayey soil.

In this study, features of correlation between S-velocity and N value are derived from 9 suspension PS layers in Chungcheong Buk-do. S-velocity to be measured on Chungcheong Buk-do is classified into 5 as conditions of stratum that are ; cohesive soil layer, sandy soil layer, gravel layer, weathering soil layer, weathered rock layer. Each correlation formulas between N value by SPT and S-velocity is proposed from these classifications. And correlation formula for whole soil body except weathered rock layer also is proposed for reference. Corelation formulas developed this study formed square expression considering existing formulas produced internationally. Strength parameter converted to linear if N value is more than 50. Features of proposed formula which came up with comparative analysis of international result of cohesive soil layer and sandy soil layer and gravel layer show similar to existing ones. But there is deference that result of correlation formula for weathered rock layer is a little smaller than domestic formula's one. Because correlations of weathered rock layer above the N value of 50 is converted into a linear formation.

국내에서 가장 많이 사용되는 현장조사방법인 표준관입시험의 결과로 얻어지는 N값에 대해 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 롯드 에너지 전단률(깽 Energy Ratio)을 지반조건이 상이한 3개 현장에서 항타분석기(Pile Driving Analyzer)를 이용하여 실측하였다. 에너지 전달률에 영향을 미치는 요인들 중엣 해머의 종류, 로프의 상태, 자아틀에 감은 횟수 등의 조건을 달리하여 롯드 에너지 전달률에 미치는 영향을 측정/분석하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 도넛해머, 안전해머, 개량형 도넛해머(Modified Automatic Donut Hammer)는 롯드에너지 전달률이 각각42%, 66%, 57% 정도로 측정되었으며 로프의 상태와 자아틀에 감은 횟수는 상대적으로 영향이 적은 것으로 측정되었다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 실측된 N값을 해머의 이론적 위치에너지의 60%에 해당하는 에너지가 롯드에 전달되었을 때의 N값(N60)으로 변환하기 위한 식을 제안하였다.

Recently, as the number of earthquakes increases in the Korean Peninsula and surrounding area, the importance of earthquake countermeasures and seismic design has been increasing. As a result, interest and concerns about liquefaction, which is one of the problems that concern the earthquake, are increasing. There are various methods that can assess the possibility of liquefaction by using geotechnical information for specific ground. However, direct comparisons of each method are not yet available. In this study, the two methods using the SPT-N value and the shear wave velocity among the methods for estimating the Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) value required for the simplified liquefaction assessment method were compared. And the correction of the ground information required to use the two methods respectively was compared. As a result, more accurate evaluation results were obtained when the CRR value is calculated using the SPT-N values.

The SPT If value has been known to be influenced by various factors, among which the actually delivered energy level of the falling ram has the most significant effect. If N values of different energy levels are to be applied in the general analysis which is based on N values of standard energy levee the safety of the foundation might be in danger or the design might be overestimated. In this study the actual falling velocity of the ram has been measured so that the energy level could be estimated. The results Indicated that the energy level should be considered in the analysis or the design in this country, since the measured values are different from the internationally accepted scandard value, N60

하천 내의 자생수목군에 의한 자연적인 흐름저항의 증가, 식재를 통한 인위적인 흐름저항의 증가, 교각 등의 구조물로 인한 흐름저항을 배수계산에 반영하기 위하여 일반적으로 Manning n값이 사용된다. 그러나 흐름 장애물로 인하여 증가된 Manning n값의 선정은 Chow(1950) 등이 제시한 도표를 활용하는 방법과 같이 공학적 판단을 요하는 작업이다. 그러므로 객관적으로 흐름저항을 산정할 수 있는 기법의 개발이 필요하며, 이를 위한 기초연구로 본 연구에서는 개수로 내 장애물의 항력계수 특성에 대하여 분석하고자 한다. 일반적으로 항력계수는 유체의 유속에 따라 변화되므로, Reynolds 수 또는 Froude 수에 따라 변화되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 그 범위가 연구자에 따라 상이하여 이를 정량화 할 필요가 있으며, 본 연구에서는 실험자료로부터 개수로 내 장애물의 항력계수 특성을 분석하고, 개수로에서 일반적으로 발생할 수 있는 Reynolds 수 또는 Froude 수 범위에서 기존 연구결과들을 비교분석하여 항력계수의 범위를 정량적으로 정립하고자 한다. 일반적인 상류 흐름조건에서 평균 항력계수($C_D$)는 1.11로 계산되었고, Froude 수의 증가에 따라 항력계수의 변동성이 점차 증가하였으며, 이러한 결과로부터 개수로 내 장애물로 인한 흐름저항을 반영하기 위하여 Manning n값으로 산정된 결과는 평균 0.01의 편차를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study is to predict the life exponent by measuring, over 7 years, the insulation resistance of high-voltage cables in 22 kV operation for 13 years. We found out the lifetime index in order to determine the time-dependent trend of deteriorating performance of power cables. The insulation resistances decreased according to elapsed time. We found that: the initial measurements of the cable systems were in agreement with the deterioration properties of the Arrhenius Law. By analyzing the life curve of the cable system, we also verified that the value of the life exponent (n) in the v-t characteristics defined by Weibull distribution has values from 10 to 11. When designing the cable system, the initial value of life exponent was chosen as 9 without any grounding. We have verified that the theoretical grounding based on the design safety of n=9 was actually the best one available. In the short term, we apply our research result to the diagnosis and evaluation of the power cables. In the long run, however, we plan to reduce the cost of the installation and management of cable systems in operation at power stations.
