PURPOSES : To ensure appropriate RCC properties with sufficient strength development and workability, it is necessary to secure a proper level of consistency. It is also necessary to secure maximum dry density, which is an important factor for increasing the interaction of aggregate interlocking, leading to an augmentation of RCC strength. On the other hand, the dry density of RCC can be changed owing to the compaction conditions, water content, and particle size distribution. A Proctor test and a modified Proctor test were used for determining the optimum water content needed to achieve maximum dry density with different amounts of compaction energy. A Vebe test, on the other hand, was used for checking the level of consistency, which is important for producing a workable mixture. METHODS : To confirm the degree of compaction at various particle sizes, RCC mixtures with different sand/aggregate ratios were evaluated. The Proctor test and modified Proctor test were applied to these mixtures to check the effect of the aggregate gradation and compaction energy on the maximum dry density and optimum water content. During each test, three specimens were produced for all types of water content under each aggregate gradation. A compaction curve and the optimum water content and maximum dry density for each aggregate gradation were then obtained for both tests. The range of water content for the appropriate consistency of each aggregate gradation was determined through a Vebe test. The optimum water content was then evaluated based on this range. RESULTS : The compaction test results show that the modified Proctor test provides a higher maximum dry density and lower optimum water content compared with the standard Proctor test. For the modified Proctor test, two cases of aggregate gradation (s/a = 30% and 70%) had the optimum water contents outside of the appropriate water content range. For the standard Proctor test, on the other hand, none of aggregate gradations provided the optimum water content within the desired range. CONCLUSIONS : The modified Proctor test should be used for an RCC mixture design because it can provide adequacy between maximum dry density and consistency. Moreover, the compaction roller has become highly developed for higher compaction energy.

본 연구의 내용은 임도건설(林道建設) 예정지역(豫定地域)의 흙을 어떻게 토질(土質) 역학적(力學的)으로 실험하여 실제적으로 응용할 수 있는가를 다루는 것이다. 이를 위해 8개 플롯에서 각 플롯 당 2 개씩 총 16개의 토양시료(土壤試料)를 채취하였다. 실험내용은 흙이 흩어지기 전후의 단위중량(單位重量), 함수량(含水量), 액성(液性) 및 소성한계(塑性限界), 다짐도 시험(試驗), 입도시험(粒度試驗) 등이다. 흩어지기(교란(攪亂)) 전후의 전체 단위중량(${\rho}_t$)은 각각 $1.69g/cm^3$과 $1.19g/cm^3$이었으며, 함수량(含水量)은 21.0%와 20.5%였다. 체분석과 비중계(比重計)에 의한 입도시험결과 얻은 균등계수(均等係數) U와 곡율계수(曲率係數) C는 각각 125와 0.42를 보이고 있어 전체적으로 좋은 입도분포는 아니었다. USCS에 의한 토양분류는 SM(실트질 모래 내지 모래실트 혼합토)으로서 성토재료(盛土材料)로서는 좋지 않은 것으로 보인다. 다짐시험결과 자연상태의 단위중량(${\rho}$)과 최적(最適) 단위중량(單位重量)(${\rho}pr$)은 각각 $1.40{\pm}0.065g/cm^3$과 $1.88{\pm}0.049g/cm^3$로 나타났는데, 이것은 ${\rho}pr$에 도달하기 위해 성토시(盛土時) 더 많은 다짐작업과 토량(土量)이 필요함을 의미한다.

It was investigated whether the waste polyethylene chips can be recycled as construction materials in geotechnical engineering field. The standard Proctor test, the hydraulic conductivity test, the large box direct shear test, the thermal conductivity test, the frost heaving test and the time domain reflectometry test were performed on weathered granite soil mixed with variable amount of the waste polyethylene chips. The experimental results showed that the hydraulic conductivity and the shear strength of weathered granite soil increase with increasing the amount of the waste polyethylene chips. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity, the amount of frost heaving and the unfrozen water contents of weathered granite soil decrease with increasing the amount of the waste polyethylene chips.

The objective of this paper is to show that the soil-geotextile interaction needs to he addressed in addition to the usual tensile and modulus properties when the geotextile is being designed for a specific application. The soil-geotextile interaction can be directly assessed by standard direct shear test. The data presented here show that the shear strength paramaters describing the soil-geotextile interface can he greatly influenced by the type of the geotextile. In this investigation, we examined nine different geotextiles of varying construction and surface textures with two standard soil, under five loading conditions, and compared the shear strength and the frictional resistance with the corresponding values of soil itself The following conclusions were drawned from this study. 1. The shear stress-strain curve shows that there are the residual shear stresses at the soil-geotextile interface. Because of the hydraulic gradient between the soil and the geotextile, the excessive pore water can migrate into the geotextile and among the filaments and dissipate through the soil-geotextile interface. 2. The shear strength of the soil-geotextile interface is affected by the moisture content of the soil. At moisture content lower than the optimum water content of the Proctor compaction test, the shear strength of the soil-geotextile interface is greater. 3. The type and surface roughness of the geotextile have the greatest influence on the interface friction angle between the soil and the geotextile.

The importance of using materials cost effectively to enhance the strength and reduce the cost, and weight of earth fill materials in geotechnical engineering led researchers to seek for modifying the soil properties by adding proper additives. Lightweight fill materials made of soil, binder, water, and Expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are increasingly being used in geotechnical practices. This paper primarily investigates the behavior of sandy soil, modified by EPS particles. Besides, the mechanical properties of blending sand, EPS and the binder material such as fly ash and cement were examined in different mixing ratios using a number of various laboratory studies including the Modified Standard Proctor (MSP) test, the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and the Direct Shear test (DST). According to the results, an increase of 0.1% of EPS results in a reduction of the density of the mixture for 10%, as well as making the mixture more ductile rather than brittle. Moreover, the compressive strength, CBR value and shear strength parameters of the mixture decreases by an increase of the EPS beads, a trend on the contrary to the increase of cement and fly ash content.

Frictional forces between soil and structural elements are of vital importance for the foundation engineering. Although numerous studies were performed about the soil-structure interaction in recent years, the approximate relations proposed in the first half of the 20th century are still used to determine the frictional forces. Throughout history, wood was often used as friction piles. Steel has started to be used in the last century. Today, alternatively these materials, FRP (fiber-reinforced polymer) piles are used extensively due to they can serve for long years under harsh environmental conditions. In this study, various ratios of low plasticity clays (CL) were added to the sand soil and compacted to standard Proctor density. Thus, soils with various internal friction angles (${\phi}$) were obtained. The skin friction angles (${\delta}$) of these soils with FRP, which is a composite material, steel (st37) and wood (pine) were determined by performing interface shear tests (IST). Based on the data obtained from the test results, a chart was proposed, which engineers can use in pile design. By means of this chart, the skin friction angles of the soils, of which only the internal friction angles are known, with FRP, steel and wood materials can be determined easily.

This study was performed to evaluate the characteristics of volume change is unsaturated clayed soil. The medium-plastic clay was selected and compacted by 50% of Proctor standard compaction energy at 6% higher moisture content than its OMC. A series of isotropic compression tests and triaxial shear tests were performed. The results of the study are summarized as follows. At each matric suction, when the matric suction was increased, the yield stress was increased and slope of volume change was decreased. The more net mean stress was, the less the quantity of volume change was. In shear test, the volumetric strain was much rapidly changed in large matric than in low matric suctions. But the effect of matric suction to volume change disappeared under high net mean stress. At lower deviator stress the more matric suction was, the higher volume change was. But As the matric suction was increasing, the behavior of the unsaturated clayey soil was similar to that of saturated clayey soil. Volume change in the unsaturated clayey soil can be represented as a unique plane in three-dimensional space, which is the axes of net mean stress, matric suction and void ratio.

흙의 다짐 특성에 영향을 주는 주요인자 중 하나인 온도는 지역과 계절에 따라 다양하게 변화하는 특성을 가진다. 최근 동토지방에서 많은 토목공사가 시행되고 있지만, 온도와 관련된 흙의 다짐기준 및 지침을 정량화할 수 있는 문헌은 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 온도에 따른 흙의 다짐특성을 시험을 통해 평가하고자 하였다. 시험을 위해 러시아 시베리아, 캐나다 앨버타 주 오일 샌드 지역 등에서 자주 쓰이는 성토재료인 모래의 온도별 다짐특성을 나타낼 수 있는 주문진 모래를 사용하였으며, 표준다짐시험을 흙의 다양한 온도조건($-10^{\circ}C$에서 $17^{\circ}C$)에서 수행하였다. 시험 결과 영상 온도에서는 다짐 시 벌킹 효과로 인해 흙 공시체의 부피 팽창이 발생하였으며, 그 범위는 0%~6%이였다. $0^{\circ}C$에서 $17^{\circ}C$까지 온도가 증가하면서 최대 부피(최소 건조단위중량)에 해당하는 함수비는 감소하였고, 최소 부피(최대 건조단위중량)에 해당하는 함수비는 온도가 증가함에 따라 약간 증가하였다. 영하 온도의 경우 함수비가 추가됨에 따라 건조단위중량은 지속적으로 감소하였다. 영하 온도에서는 벌킹이 발생하지 않았으며 물의 단위부피보다 얼음의 단위부피가 더 크기 때문에 흙 공시체의 부피가 증가하였다.
