  • Spatial variations of a seismic wave are mainly wave passage and wave scattering. Wave passage effect is produced by changed characteristics of exciting seismic input motions applied to the bedrock. Modified input motions travel horizontally with time differences determined by apparent shear wave velocity of the bedrock. In this study, wave passage effect on the seismic response of a structure-soil system is investigated by modifying the finite element software of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-Dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System) to apply inconsistent (time-delayed) seismic input motions along the soft soil-bedrock interface. Study results show that foundation size affected on the seismic response of a structure excited with inconsistent input motions in the lower period range below 0.5 seconds, and seismic responses of a structure were decreased considerably in the lower period range around 0.05 seconds due to the wave passage. Also, shear wave velocity of the bedrock affected on the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range below 0.3 seconds, with significant reduction of the seismic response for smaller shear wave velocity of the bedrock reaching approximately 20% for an apparent shear wave velocity of 1000m/s at a period of 0.05 seconds. Finally, it is concluded that wave passage effect reduces the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range when the bedrock under a soft soil is soft or the bedrock is located very deeply, and wave passage is beneficial for the seismic design of a short period structure like a nuclear container building or a stiff low-rise building.

  • The behaviors of saturated soils such as compressibility and permeability are distinguished by preconsolidation stress. Preconsolidation stress becomes an important design parameter in geotechnical structures. The goal of this study is to introduce a new method for the evaluation of preconsolidation stress based on the shear wave velocity at small strain, using Busan, Incheon, and Gwangyang clays in Korea. Standard consolidation tests are conducted by using an oedometer cell equipped with bender elements. The preconsolidation stresses estimated by shear wave velocity are compared with those evaluated by the Casagrande, constrained modulus, work, and logarithmic methods. The preconsolidation stresses estimated by the shear wave velocity produce very similar values to those evaluated by the Onitsuka method (one of the logarithmic methods), which yields an almost real preconsolidation stress. This study shows that the shear wave velocity method provides a reliable method for evaluating preconsolidation stress and can be used as a complementary method.

  • Direct numerical simulation database of an axial turbulent boundary layer is used to compute frequency and wave number spectra of the wall shear-stress fluctuations in a low-Reynolds number axial turbulent boundary layer. One-dimensional and two-dimensional power spectra of flow variables are calculated and compared. At low wave numbers and frequencies, the power of streamwise shear stress is larger than that of spanwise shear stress, while the powers of both stresses are almost the same at high wave numbers and frequencies. The frequency/streamwise wave number spectra of the wall flow variables show that large-scale fluctuations to the rms value is largest for the stream wise shear stress, while that of small-scale fluctuations to the rms value is largest for pressure. In the two-point auto-correlations, negative correlation occurs in streamwise separations for pressure, and in span wise correlation for both shear stresses.

  • Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) has high fluidity and self-compaction characteristics. CLSM is mainly used for backfilling the excavated road. Early-age properties of CLSM should be characterized for fast restoration of the road. In this study, shear wave monitoring and Vicat needle test are performed to investigate the early-age properties of CLSM depending on the setting time. CLSM consists of CSA cement, fly ash, silt and sand, accelerator, and water. Five fly ashes with different chemical properties are used for CLSM samples. The penetration of CLSM along setting time is obtained through the Vicat needle test. A pair of bender elements are placed in a mold for shear wave measurement, and the change in shear waves with the setting time is monitored. The experimental results show that, regardless of the type of fly ash, the penetration depth decreases and the shear wave velocity increases with the setting time. Depending on the type of fly ash, initial and final times and shear wave velocity change. After testing, the correlation between penetration and shear wave velocity is obtained with high coefficient of determination. The shear wave measurement technique using the bender element can be used to identify early-age properties.

  • 공학적 물성치로서의 저변형율에서의 전단탄성계수의 결정은 다양한 토목분야에서 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 저변형율에서의 전단탄성계수를 결정하기 위하여 개발된 HWAW(Harmonic Wavelet Analysis of Wave)방법을 이용한 지반조사기법의 실제 현장에서의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 두 곳의 현장에 HWAW방법을 적용하였다. HWAW방법을 검증하기 위하여 동일한 현장에서 수행된 SASW시험과 PS-Suspension Logging 실험의 결과와 비교하였다. 이를 통하여 HWAW방법이 배경잡음과 지반의 횡방향 불균일성에 의한 오류를 기존 방법에 비하여 최소화 할 수 있으며, 국부적이며 정밀한 대상지반의 실제 전단파 속도 주상도를 매우 효과적으로 결정할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • A two-dimensional numerical model based on the finite element method was built to simulate the wave propagation phenomena that occur during the ultrasonic time of flight diffraction (TOFD) process. First, longitudinal-wave TOFD was simulated, and the numerical results agreed well with the theoretical results. Shear-wave TOFD was also investigated because shear waves have higher intensity and resolution. The shear wave propagation was studied using three models with different boundary conditions, and the tip-diffracted shear-to-longitudinal wave was extracted from the A-scan signal difference between the cracked and non-cracked specimens. This signal showed very good agreement between the geometrical and numerical arrival times. The results of this study not only provide better understanding of the diffraction phenomena in TOFD, but also prove the potential of shear-wave TOFD for practical application.

  • Several additives are used to enhance the geotechnical properties (e.g., shear wave velocity, shear modulus) of soils to provide sustainable, economical and eco-friendly solutions in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering. In this study, piezoelectric ring actuators are used to measure the shear wave velocity of unreinforced, fiber, cemented, and fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. One dimensional oedometer tests are performed on medium dense specimens of Toyoura sand-cement-fiber-silica flour mixtures with different percentages of silica flour (0-42%), fiber and cement (e.g., 0-3%) additives. The experimental results indicate that behavior of the mixtures is significantly affected by the concentration of silica flour, fiber and cement additives. Results show that with the addition of 1-3% of PVA fibers, the shear wave velocity increases by only 1-3%. However, the addition of 1-4% of cement increases the shear wave velocity by 8-35%. 10.5-21% increase of silica flour reduces the shear wave velocity by 2-5% but adding 28-42% silica flour significantly reduces the shear wave velocity by 12-31%. In addition, the combined effect of cement and fibers was also found and with only 2% cement and 1% fiber, the shear wave velocity increase was found to be approximately 24% and with only 3% cement and 3% fibers this increased to 35%. The results from this study for the normalized shear modulus and normalized mean effective stress agree well with previous findings on pure Toyoura sand, Toyoura silty sand, fiber reinforced, fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. Any variations are likely due to the difference in stress history (i.e., isotropic versus anisotropic consolidation) and the measurement method. In addition, these small discrepancies could be attributed to several other factors. The potential factors include the difference in specimen sizes, test devices, methods of analysis for the measurement of arrival time, the use of an appropriate Ko to convert the vertical stresses into mean effective stress, and sample preparation techniques. Lastly, it was investigated that there is a robust inverse relationship between α factor and 𝞫0 exponent. It was found that less compressible soils exhibit higher 𝜶 factors and lower 𝞫0 exponents.

  • Recently, surface-wave methods have been widely used for site investigation due to economic advantage and improved reliability. Specially, the Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Wave (SASW) method has been used to evaluate soil properties in geotechnical engineering. In determination of subgrade stiffness by SASW measurements, only the vertical Rayleigh waves have been used. This study proposed a framework to determine shear-wave velocity profiles by using vertical and horizontal Rayleigh waves and Love wave all together. In addition, the Common-Array-Profiling(CAP) SASW method was employed, which subgrade stiffness of profile the local material under two fixed receivers. The procedure proposed in this study was verified by comparing the shear-wave velocity profiles with the shear-wave velocity profiles of downhole testing at two geotechnical sites.

  • 대형 사력댐의 내진성능 평가에서 필히 요구되는 입력상수는 사력재료, 코아매질의 전단파 속도이다. 이를 표면파 시험으로 평가하기 위해서는 사력골재의 불연속, 매질의 비균질, 사면 경계면 등 표면파 시험결과의 신뢰도를 떨어뜨리는 조건을 극복해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 표면파시험의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 기존 빔형성기법의 원리를 응용한 SBF (Short-Array Beamforming) 기법을 제안하였다. SBF 기법은 3~9 m의 짧은 측선과 원거리 발진원을 이용함으로써, 빔형성기법 고유의 장점인 측정자료의 자동화분석뿐만 아니라 근접장 문제의 해결, 국부적 이상대의 발견 등의 기능을 가지도록 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 SBF 기법과 IRF(Impulse-Response Filtration) 기법을 활용하여 대형 사력댐의 전단파속도를 신뢰성 있게 평가하는 방법을 정립하였다. 정립된 기법은 사력댐의 사력재료와 유사한 암버럭으로 매립 성토된 철도 노반에서 다운홀 시험, CapSASW (Common-Array-Profiling SASW) 시험과의 비교를 통하여 그 신뢰성과 실용성을 검증하였다.

  • 이 연구에서는 지반의 개량에 따른 전단파속도 및 지반등급 향상 여부를 알아보기 위하여 지반개량체의 형상을 변수로 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 지반개량체의 형상을 변수로 크로스홀(Cross hole) 기법을 이용하여 전단파속도를 측정하였다. 또한, 이 연구에서 측정된 결과와 기존 전단파속도 측정결과를 이용하여 국내 지반조건에 맞는 N-Value에 대한 전단파속도 예측식을 제안하였다. 실험결과, 지반개량을 수행하는 경우 원지반의 전단파속도는 소폭 상승하였다. 또한, 이 연구에서 제안한 예측식은 지층조건에 관계없이 기존실험결과를 합리적으로 예측하였다.
