잠제와 같은 중력식구조물 하부 해저지반에 고파랑이 장시간 작용하는 경우 토립자내 간극의 체적변화를 일으키는 과정에서 과잉간극수압이 크게 발생될 수 있고, 이에 따른 유효응력의 감소에 의하여 구조물 근방 및 하부의 해저지반에 액상화가 발생될 수 있으며, 종국에는 구조물이 침하파괴될 가능성이 있다. 또한, 액생화를 방지하기 위한 대책공법으로 규칙파의 경우 콘크리트매트를 해저지반상에 포설하여 구조물의 동적변위 및 지반내 간극 수압 및 간극수압비가 감소하는 것을 규명하였다. 본 연구에서는 실해역을 모사한 불규칙파랑을 대상으로 규칙파 해석에서 적용된 동일한 수치해석법을 적용하여 잠제의 동적변위 및 해저지반내 간극수압, 간극수압비 등과 같은 지반거동의 시 공간변화를 규칙파의 경우와 대비하면서 액상화 가능성을 검토하였다. 이로부터 불규칙파동장하에서도 콘크리트매트하의 해저지반내에서 액상화 가능성을 크게 줄일 수 있고, 한정된 본 결과이지만 콘크리트매트가 포설된 경우에도 액상화 평가시 불규칙파의 유의파에 해당하는 파랑조건을 적용한 규칙파 해석이 더욱 안정적인 설계로 된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

잠제와 같은 중력식구조물하 해저지반에 고파랑이 장시간 작용하는 경우 지반을 구성하는 토립자내 간극의 체적 변화과정에서 과잉간극수압이 크게 발생될 수 있고, 이에 따른 유효응력의 감소에 의하여 구조물 근방 및 하부지반이 액상화될 수 있으며, 종국에는 구조물이 침하파괴될 가능성이 있다는 사실이 규칙파 및 불규칙파 조건하의 선행연구에서 규명되었다. 본 연구에서는 잠제 주변지반에서 발생되는 액상화를 방지하기 위한 대책공법으로 주로 하천에서 세굴방지공으로 사용되어온 콘크리트매트를 해저지반상에 포설하는 방안을 제시하고, 이에 따른 잠제와 콘크리트매트를 포함한 구조물의 동적변위, 지반내 간극수압과 간극수압비 등을 콘크리트매트가 적용되지 않은 원지반의 경우와 비교 검토한다. 이로부터 콘크리트매트하의 해저지반내에서 상대밀도의 증가에 따라 액상화 가능성을 크게 줄일 수 있다는 것을 규칙파 작용하의 수치해석으로부터 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an elasto-plastic model for determination of the ground response curve of a circular underwater tunnel excavated in elastic-strain softening rock mass compatible with a nonlinear Hoek-Brown yield criterion. The finite difference method (FDM) was used to propose a new solution to calculate pore water pressure, stress, and strain distributions on periphery of circular tunnels in axisymmetric and plain strain conditions. In the proposed solution, a modified non-radial flow pattern, for the hydraulic analysis, is utilized. To evaluate the effect of gravitational loads and variations of pore water pressure, the equations concerning different directions around the tunnel (crown, wall, and floor) are derived. Regarding the strain-softening behavior of the rock mass, the stepwise method is executed for the plastic zone in which parameters of strength, dilatancy, stresses, strains, and deformation are different from their elasto-plastic boundary values as compared to the tunnel boundary values. Besides, the analytical equations are developed for the elastic zone. The accuracy and application of the proposed method is demonstrated by a number of examples. The results present the effects of seepage body forces, gravitational loads and dilatancy angle on ground response curve appropriately.

When some enormous earthquake hazards broke out in the neighboring Japan and Taiwan, many Korean earthquake engineers thought that seismic guidelines must be adjusted safely and economically to consider the moderate earthquake characteristics. In the present aseismic guideline for liquefaction potential assessment, a simplified method using SPT-N value and a detail method based on the dynamic lab-tests were introduced. However, it is said that these methods based on the equivalent stress concept to simplify an irregular earthquake are not reliable to simulate the kaleidoscopical characteristics of earthquake loading correctly. Especially, even though various data from the dynamic lab-test can be obtained, only two data, a maximum cyclic load and a number of cycle at an initial liquefaction are used to determine the soil resistance strength in the detailed method. In this study, a new assessment of liquefaction potential is proposed and verified. In the proposed assessment, various data from dynamic lab-tests are used to determine the unique soil resistance characteristic and a site specific analysis is introduced to analyze the irregular earthquake time history itself. Also, it is found that the proposed assessment is reasonable because it is devised to reflect the changeable soil behavior under dynamic loadings resulted from the generation and development of excess pore water pressure.

The gas diffusion layer (GDL) consists of two main parts, the GDL backing layer, called as a substrate and the micro porous layer (MPL) coated on the GDBL. In this process, carbon particles of MPL penetrates to the GDBL consequently forms MPL penetration part. In this study, the micro porous layer (MPL) penetration thickness is determined as a design parameter of the GDL which affect pore size distribution profile through the GDL inducing different mass transfer characteristics. The pore size distribution and water permeability characteristics of the GDL are investigated and the cell performance is evaluated under fully/low humidification conditions. Transient response and voltage instability are also studied. In addition, to determine the effects of MPL penetration on the degradation, the carbon corrosion stress test is conducted. The GDL that have deep MPL penetration thickness shows better performance in high current density region because of enhanced water management, however, loss of penetrated MPL parts is shown after aging and it induces worse water management characteristics.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate mechanical properties of the porous Ti implants according to porosity. Porous Ti implant will be had properties similar to human bone such as microstructure and mechanical properties. Methods: Porous Ti implant samples were fabricated by sintering of spherical Ti powders(below $25{\mu}m$, $25{\sim}32{\mu}m$, $32{\sim}38{\mu}m$, and $38{\sim}45{\mu}m$) in a high vacuum furnace. Specimen's diameter and height were 4mm and 40 mm. Surface and sectional images of porous Ti implants were evaluated by scanning electron microscope(SEM). Porosity and average pore size were evaluated by mercury porosimeter. Young's modulus and tensile strength were evaluated by universal testing machine(UTM). Results: Porosity of Implant was increased according to larger particle size of the powder. Boundary portions of particles are sintered fully and others portions were formed pore. Young's modulus was decreased by formed porous structure. Tensile strength was decreased according to larger the particle size of the powder, but higher than human bone. Conclusion: If prepared by adjust the porosity of the porous Ti implant will be able to resolve the stress shielding phenomenon.

본 연구에서는 유류로 오염된 모래의 지반공학적 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 오염물로 사용한 유류는 점도특성을 고려하여 등유, 원유, 자동차 엔진오일을 선정하였고, 모형지반은 주문진 표준사를 사용하였다. 실내시험은 다짐시험, 투수시험, 직접전단시험을 유류의 오염비율에 따라 수행하였다. 투수시험에서 유류의 함유비가 증가할수록 오염되지 않은 지반에 비해 투수계수가 점진적으로 저하되었다. 내부마찰각은 오염되지 않은 지반보다 상대적으로 감소하였다.

This research investigated the nonlinear compressibility, permeability, the yielding due to structural degradation and their effects on consolidation behavior of structured soft soils. Based on oedometer and hydraulic conductivity test results of natural and reconstituted soft clays, linear log (1+e) ~ $log\;{\sigma}^{\prime}$ and log (1+e) ~ $log\;k_v$ relationships were developed to capture the variations in compressibility and permeability, and the yield stress ratio (YSR) was introduced to characterize the soil structure of natural soft clay. Semi-analytical solutions for one-dimensional consolidation of soft clay under time-dependent loading incorporating the effects of soil nonlinearity and soil structure were proposed. The semi-analytical solutions were verified against field measurements of a well-documented test embankment and they can give better accuracy in prediction of excess pore pressure compared to the predictions using the existing analytical solutions. Additionally, parametric studies were conducted to analyze the effects of YSR, compression index (${\lambda}_r$ and ${\lambda}_c$), and permeability index (${\eta}_k$) on the consolidation behavior of structured soft clays. The magnitude of the difference between degree of consolidation based on excess pore pressure ($U_p$) and that based on strain ($U_s$) depends on YSR. The parameter ${\lambda}_c/{\eta}_k$ plays a significant role in predicting consolidation behavior.

The creep and consolidation behaviors of clays subjected to thermal cycles are of fundamental importance in the application of energy geostructures. This study aims to numerically investigate the physical mechanisms for the temperature-triggered volume change of saturated clays. A recently developed thermodynamic framework is used to derive the thermo-mechanical constitutive model for clays. Based on the model, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element (FE) code is developed. Comparison with experimental observations shows that the proposed FE code can well reproduce the irreversible thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays, as well as the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays under drained heating. Simulations reveal that excess pore pressure may accumulate in clay samples under triaxial drained conditions due to low permeability and high heating rate, resulting in thermally induced primary consolidation. Results show that four major mechanisms contribute to the thermal volume change of clays: (i) the principle of thermal expansion, (ii) the decrease of effective stress due to the accumulation of excess pore pressure, (iii) the thermal creep, and (iv) the thermally induced primary consolidation. The former two mechanisms mainly contribute to the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays, whereas the latter two contribute to the noticeable thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays. Consideration of the four physical mechanisms is important for the settlement prediction of energy geostructures, especially in soft soils.

투수성이 낮은 흙에서 과잉간극수압은 빨리 소산되지 못하므로 유효응력을 감소시키게 되며, 이는 보강토 옹벽에서 보강재와 흙 사이의 인터페이스 전단강도를 감소시키는 결과를 가져온다. 이러한 조건에서는 간극수압의 소산속도가 매우 중요하며, 이는 벽체의 크기, 뒤채움 흙의 투수성 그리고 보강재의 길이 등에 의해 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영향요소의 효과를 조사하기 위하여 유한요소해석을 실시하였고, 그 결과 투수계수 $10^{-3}cm/sec$ 이하부터는 간극수압 소산시간이 점차 증가하기 시작함을 알 수 있었다. 간극수압 소산시간의 증가는 유효응력의 감소를 의미하여 보강재 인발력의 감소로 이어질 것이며, 이는 본 논문에서 수행된 수치해석으로 확인되었다. 또한, 보강재의 길이가 길수록 간극수압 소산시간이 더 많이 필요한 것으로 나타났는데 이는 배수거리의 증가에 기인한다.
