Strength of loess that experienced cyclic freeze and thaw is of great significance for evaluating stability of slopes and foundations in loess regions. This paper takes the frequently encountered loess in the Northwestern China as the study object and carried out three kinds of laboratory tests including freeze-thaw test, direct shear test and SEM test to investigate the strength behaviors of loess after cyclic freeze and thaw, and the correlation with meso-level changes in soil structure. Results show that for loess specimens at four dry densities, the cohesion decreases with freeze-thaw cycles until a residual value is reached and thus an exponential equation is proposed. Besides, little change in the angle of internal friction was observed as freeze-thaw proceeds. This may depend on the varying of soil structure, based on which a clue can be found from the surface morphology and mesoscopic scanning of loess specimens. Clearly we observed significant changes in surface morphology of loess and it tends to aggravate at higher water contents or more cycles of freeze and thaw. Moreover, freeze-thaw cycling leads to obvious changes in the meso-structure of loess including lowering the particle aggregates and increasing both the proportion of fine particles and porosity area ratio. A damage variable dependent on the ratio of porosity area is introduced based on the continuum damage mechanics and its correlation with cohesion is discussed.

강판으로 철근콘크리트 보를 휨보강하면 보의 강성과 강도는 현저하게 증가하나 부착면에서의 조기파괴로 인하여 충분한 연성을 발휘하지 못하는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 에폭시와 콘크리트 계면에서의 부착파괴 메카니즘을 규명하기 위하여 Mohr-Coulomb 규준을 채택하였으며, 에폭시-콘크리트 계면의 부착특성을 결정하기 위하여 사전단 부착실험, 직접전단 부착실험 및 휨보강 부재실험을 수행하였다. 실험과 수치해석을 통하여 에폭시-콘크리트 계면의 내부마찰각이 45$^{\circ}$ 일 때 점착력은 50 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$~70 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$을 얻었으며, 이를 강판으로 보강된 RC보의 구조계산에 적용하여 파괴하중을 예측함으로써 보강보의 조기파괴를 효과적으로 방지할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

고밀도 폴리 우레탄 공법은 주입 물질의 순간 팽창압을 이용하여 연약지반의 불안정한 지반의 안정화를 위해 적용되며 내구성이 매우 탁월한 친환경 공법이다. 순간 팽창압에 의해 연약지반 보강 및 복원, 차수공사가 가능하다. 본 주입공법의 경우 작업시간이 매우 짧고 신속하여 열악한 환경에서도 타 공법보다 접급성과 작업성이 매우 탁월하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고밀도 폴리 우레탄이 지반 내에서 작용하는 물리·역학적 특성을 검증하고자 하였다. 먼저, 주입재료의 강도정수 및 물성값을 확인하기 위하여 일축압축강도시험, 직접전단시험, 토압시험 등을 수행하였고 환경적인 문제에 대한 부분을 확인하고자 투수시험 및 토양환경안정성 시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 조밀한 사질토와 단단한 점성토를 대상으로 비교하였을 때, 내부마찰각은 약 2배, 점착력은 약 2.5~3.5배 이상 높은 것으로 확인되었고, 투수계수 또한 1.0 × 10-5의 범위 이내를 만족하며, 기존 그라우팅 공법과 비교하였을 때 현저히 낮은 투수계수를 확인할 수 있었다.

Strength anisotropy is a typical feature of thin-bedded rock masses and their strength will be degraded subjected to water immersion effect. Such effect is crucial for the operation of hydropower plant because the impoundment lifts the water level of upstream reservoir and causes the rock mass of nearby slopes saturated. So far, researches regarding mechanical property of natural thin-bedded rock masses and their strength variation under water immersion based on field test method are rarely reported. This paper focuses on a thin-bedded stratified rock mass and carries out field test to investigate the mechanical property and strength variation characteristics. The field test is highlighted by samples which have a large shear dimension of 0.5 m*0.5 m, representing a more realistic in-situ situation than small size specimen. The test results confirm the anisotropic nature of the concerned rock mass, whose shear strength of host rocks is significantly larger than that of bedding planes. Further, the comparison of shear strength parameters of the thin-bedded rock mass under natural and saturated conditions show that for both host rocks and bedding planes, the decreasing extent of cohesion values are larger than friction values. The quantitative results are then adopted to analyze the influence of reservoir impoundment of a hydropower plant on the surrounding rock mass stability of diversion tunnels which are located in the nearby slope bank. It is evaluated that after reservoir impoundment, the strength degradation induced incremental deformations of surrounding rock mass of diversion tunnels are small and the stresses in lining structure are acceptable. It is therefore concluded that the influences of impoundment are small and the stability of diversion tunnels can be still achieved. The finings regarding field test method and its results, as well as the numerical evaluation conclusions are hoped to provide references for rock projects with similar concerns.

19개의 절리면에 대해 레이저 스캐너를 이용하여 형상을 측정한 후, 각 절리면의 30개 단면에 대하여 절리 거칠기 계수(Joint Roughness Coefficient)를 계산하였다. JRC 값은 단면의 위치에 따라 매우 큰 차이를 보이고 있으나 3개의 단면에서 측정된 JRC의 평균값은 절리면 전체의 JRC 평균값을 잘 대표할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 9개의 절리면에 대해서 석고를 이용한 복제 시료를 제작하여 절리면 전단시험을 실시하였다. 최대마찰각(${\phi}_p$)은 JRC의 평균값과 ${\phi}_p=41.037+1.046JRC$의 직선의 관계를 보인다. 그러나 절리면 전단시험에서 측정된 전단강도는 절리면에서 측정된 JRC의 평균값을 사용하여 Barton의 관계식에서 추정된 전단강도보다 상당한 오차를 보여, 절리면 전단시험에서 역산된 $JRC_R$과 JRC의 관계를 $JRC_R=f{\cdot}JRC$로 정의하고 회귀분석하여 수정계수 $f=3.15JRC^{-0.5}$를 도출하였고, 이 수정계수를 적용하여 Barton의 전단강도 관계식을 ${\tau}={\sigma}_n{\cdot}tan(3.15JRC^{0.5}{\bullet}{\log}_{10}\frac{JCS}{{\sigma}_n}+{\phi}_b)$로 수정하여 제안하였다. 이 관계식은 강도가 비교적 낮고 연성의 특성을 보이는 풍화암이나 연암의 절리면 전단강도 추정에 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

고분자 첨가물의 퇴화는 시험용액의 고온상태에서 증가된다. 합성고분자용액의 퇴화에 대해 시간에 따른 온도와 고분자 농도의 영향을 알아보기 위해 6$0^{\circ}C$, 8$0^{\circ}C$의 온도와 100, 200, 400, 600 ppm의 다양한 고분자 농도에 따라 폐회로방식으로 실험적인 연구를 하였다. 퇴화효과는 기계적 퇴화보다 온도에 더 의존적임이 밝혀졌다. 마찰계수와 레이놀즈 수의 관계는 레이놀즈 수가 5만부터 15만까지의 범위에서 레이놀즈 수가 증가함에 따라 마찰계수가 감소하고, 저온에서 마찰은 Vi가의 최대마찰저항감소 점근선에 접근한다는 것을 보인다. 일정한 유량과 온도에 대해, 높은 고분자 농도에서 퇴화효과가 더 작게 밝혀졌다. 일정한 유량과 고분자 농도에 대해서는 퇴화율이 주로 온도에 영향받는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 8$0^{\circ}C$의 온도, 100 ppm의 고분자 농도에서 4시간후에 마찰저항 감소효과가 없어졌다. 그러나, 열적퇴화는 고분자 분자들간의 결합력을 증가시켜 주는 것으로 생각되는 계면활성제 같은 추가적인 물질을 이용하여 극복할 수 있을 것이다.

H/T(High Tension) bolt is generally being used in joining the members of steel structure. It has some difficulties in management such as an adequate fastening force and a selection of proper instrument for fastening. T/S(Torque Shear Type High Tension) bolt which is more convenient and easier than H/T bolt in quality control has recently been developed. T/S bolts are produced and widely used these days in domestic, but those have not a detail regulation for their on. Those are only being used according to the specification for the H/T bolts. In this study, we tried to confirm the soundness of T/S bolts by the fatigue test of the modified specimens. First, we measured the reduction rate of the initial axial force with time at bolts. Second, we investigated the slip forces of bolts when the test specimen is loaded in tension. Third, we implemented the fatigue tests. During the test, we measured the variation of the axial forces of bolts under the cyclic loading. Finally, we compared and analyzed the fatigue behavior of H/T and T/S bolt, by S-N curve diagrams that are obtained in this study.

The poisson's ratio was obtained from the effective vertical stress and horizontal stress of consolidation-undrained test. It was analyzed void ratio verse poisson's ratio. At the result, the effective friction angle was increase with relative density increased, was decreased the poisson's ratio. The empirical equation of void ratio and poisson's ratio was showed very high correlation r²=0.846. The empirical equation was showed that the smaller the void ratio in the fine grained soil than granular soil. In the case of 0.85 times the correlation analysis equation of granular and fine grained soil, the experimental results were shown very similarly. In especially, the poisson's ratio prediction results was shown within 5% of the error range, was revalidation 0.85 times the correlation analysis equation using the void ratio. In this study, correlation analysis equation of the granular and fine grained soil was more reliability of the poisson's ratio prediction results apply to the void ratio than dry unit weight.

This paper aims to investigate the axial load behavior and stability strength of square tubed steel-reinforced concrete (TSRC) columns. Unlike concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column, the outer steel tube of a TSRC column is mainly used to provide confinement to the core concrete. Ten specimens were tested under axial compression, and the main test variables included length-to-width ratio (L/B) of the specimens, width-to-thickness ratio (B/t) of the steel tubes, and with or without stud shear connectors on the steel sections. The failure mode, ultimate strength and load-tube stress response of each specimen were summarized and analyzed. The test results indicated that the axial load carried by square tube due to friction and bond of the interface increased with the increase of L/B ratio, while the confinement effect of tube was just the opposite. Parametric studies were performed through ABAQUS based on the test results, and the feasibility of current design codes has also been examined. Finally, a method for calculating the ultimate strength of this composite column was proposed, in which the slenderness effect on the tube confinement was considered.

In Korea, accidents related to the collapse of deteriorated aging reservoirs occur every year. The grouting method is generally applied to reinforce an aging reservoir. However, when using this method, different reinforcing effects appear depending on the ground conditions. Thus, new construction methods and materials capable of providing consistent reinforcing effects are required. In this study, the direct shear test (DST), model test, and simulation analysis were performed to evaluate the impact of surface stabilizers, generally used to reinforce roads, rivers, and slopes of roads, applied using surface curtain walls on aging reservoirs. The DST results indicate that when the surface stabilizer was mixed with in-situ soil, the increase in cohesion was the highest at a mixing ratio of 9%. No changes in the friction angle were evident; therefore, 9% was determined to be the optimal mixing ratio. In addition, the model test and simulation analysis showed that when 9% of the surface stabilizer was mixed and applied to the aging reservoir, the seepage quantity of water and the saturated area were reduced by approximately 42% and 73%, respectively. Moreover, the comprehensive analysis of results showed that the grouting method could be completely replaced by surface stabilizers applied through surface curtain walls because the technique could secure stability by decreasing the seepage in the aging reservoir.
