In this research program special triaxial compression tests and dehydration-swelling tests under the condition of freeze-thaw process were conducted to show the effects of freezethaw process on the physical properties of weathered granite soil, and their results as follows; 1.Consolidation settlement of weathered granite soil mass was increased due to freeze-thaw process, and the initial tangent coefficient of dense state was higher than that of loose state. 2.Compression behaviour of soil was increased according to the decrease of freezing temperature, and when the freezing temperature was reached under - 10$^{\circ}$C, the compression rate was not influenced by change of freezing temperature. 3.The experiments showed that the void ratio and permeability of soil were converged into their values of shrinkage limit, and the permeability was higher due to the freeze-thaw process and as the lower the freezing temperature. 4.The decrease of liquid limit was indicated as the lower the freezing temperature, and as more the freeze4haw cycles, the moisture content was shown the lower side. 5.It was shown that the shrinkage was decreased by freeze-thaw process and not influenced by way of freezing temperature, but dehydration rate was higher.

This paper presents a series of conventional undrained triaxial compression tests conducted to determine the effect of both tire crumbs and cement addition on Narli sand specimens. The tire crumb contents and cement contents were 3%, 7%, 15%; and 1%, 3%, 5% by dry weight of the sand specimens respectively. Specimens were prepared at about 35% relative density, cured during overnight (about 17 hours) for artificially bonding under a 100 kPa effective stress (confining pressure of 500 kPa with a back pressure of 400 kPa), and then sheared. Deviatoric stress-axial strain, pore water pressure-axial strain behavior, and Young's modulus of the specimens at various mixture ratios of tire crumb/cement/sand were measured. Test results indicated that the addition of tire crumb to sand decreases Young's modulus, deviatoric stress and brittleness, and increase pore water pressure generation. The addition of cement to sand with tire crumbs increases deviatoric stress, Young's modulus, and changes its ductile behavior to a more brittle one. The results suggest that specimen formation in the way used here could reduce the tire disposal problem in not only economically, and environmentally, but also more effectively beneficial way for some geotechnical applications.

Natural clays exhibit features such as structural and anisotropy. In this work, a constitutive model that is able to replicate these two salient features of natural clays is presented. The proposed model is based on the classical S-CLAY1 model, where the anisotropy of the soil is captured through the initial inclination and rotation of the yield surface. To account for the structural of the soil, the compression curve of the reconstituted soil is taken as the reference. All parameters of the proposed constitutive model have clear physical meanings and can be conveniently determined from conventional triaxial tests. This proposed model has been used to simulate the behavior of soft soil in the undrained triaxial tests and the performance of Murro embankment in terms of settlement and horizontal displacements during embankment construction and consolidation stage. Results of numerical simulations using proposed model have been compared with the field measurement data. The comparisons show that the two features significantly influence the prediction results.

A total stress-based bounding surface model is developed to predict the undrained behaviour of saturated soft clays under cyclic loads based on the anisotropic hardening modulus field and bounding-surface theories. A new hardening rule is developed based on a new interpolation function of the hardening modulus that has simple mathematic expression and fewer model parameters. The evolution of hardening modulus field is described in the deviatoric stress space. It is assumed that the stress reverse points are the mapping centre points and the mapping centre moves with the variation of loading and unloading paths to describe the cyclic stress-strain hysteresis curve. In addition, by introducing a model parameter that reflects the accumulation rate and level of shear strain to the interpolation function, the cyclic shakedown and failure behaviour of soil elements with different combinations of initial and cyclic stresses can be captured. The methods to determine the model parameters using cyclic triaxial compression tests are also studied. Finally, the cyclic triaxial extension and torsional shear tests are performed. By comparing the predictions with the test results, the model can be used to describe undrained cyclic stress-strain responses of elements with different stress states for the tested clays.

Many aspects of the behavior of sands are affected by the content of non-plastic fine particles and these various aspects should be included in a constitutive model for the soil behavior. The fines content affects maximum and minimum void ratios, compressibility, shear strength, and static liquefaction under undrained conditions. Twenty-eight undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on mixtures of sand and fine particles with fines contents of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, and 100% to study the effects of fines on void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. The experiments were performed at low consolidation pressures at which liquefaction may occur in near-surface, natural deposits. The presence of fines creates a particle structure in the soil that is highly compressible, enhancing the potential for liquefaction, and the fines also alter the basic stress-strain and volume change behavior, which should be modeled to predict the occurrence of static liquefaction in the field. The void ratio at which liquefaction occurs for each sand/fines mixture was determined, and the variation of compressibility with void ratio was determined for each mixture. This allowed a relation to be determined between fines content, void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. Such relations may vary from sand to sand, but the present results are believed to indicate the trend in such relations.

An elastoplastic model for structured clays, which is formulated based on the fact that the difference in mechanical behavior of structured and reconstituted clays is caused by the change of fabric in the post-yield deformation range, is present in this paper. This model is developed from an elastoplastic model for overconsolidated reconstituted clays, by considering that the variation in the yield surface of structured clays is similar to that of overconsolidated reconstituted clays. However, in order to describe the mechanical behavior of structured clays with precision, the model takes the bonding and parabolic strength envelope into consideration. Compared with the Cam-clay model, only two new parameters are required in the model for structured clays, which can be determined from isotropic compression and triaxial shear tests at different confining pressures. The comparison of model predictions and results of drained and undrained triaxial shear tests on four different marine clays shows that the model can capture reasonable well the strength and deformation characteristics of structured clays, including negative and positive dilatancy, strain-hardening and softening during shearing.

임계면법을 적용하여 횡등방성 암석의 강도이방성을 해석하는 방법을 제안하였다. 암석의 파괴는 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 따르는 것으로 가정하였다. Hoek-Brown의 경험적 파괴기준식에 대응되는 Mohr 포착선식을 이용하고 강도상수인 m과 s를 방향에 따른 스칼라 함수로 정의하여 이방성 파괴함수를 구성하였다. 이방성 파괴함수를 최대고 하는 임계면의 방향을 찾기 위하여 직접 최적화기법의 하나인 공액구배법을 적용하였다. 횡등방성 안석에 대한 기존 이방성 강도모델이 대부분 삼축압축실험과 동일한 응력조건에서만 적용할 수 있는데 반하여 이 연구에서 제안된 방법은 일반적인 3차원 응력조건에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 삼축압축실험의 모사를 통하여 얻어진 삼축압축강도와 파괴면의 경사에 분석을 통하여 제안된 방법의 적합성을 검토하였다.

지반에 대한 정확한 이해를 위해 비교란 시료의 채취를 통한 실내실험이 필수적이며, 사질토 지반의 비교란 시료 채취는 인공동결공법에 의한 방법이 가장 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 유사한 상대밀도를 가지는 동결-융해시료와 비동결시료의 비배수 삼축압축실험을 이용한 강도평가와 실험과정에서 측정한 압축파와 전단파 속도의 특성변화를 관찰하는 것이다. 인공동결공법에 의해 채취된 사질토 동결 시료를 모사하기 위해 주문진 표준사를 이용하여 수중강사법으로 60%와 80%의 상대밀도를 가지는 동결시료와 비동결시료를 조성하였다. 동결된 시료는 삼축압축실험용 페데스탈에 거치하여 자연융해하면서 1분 간격으로 시료의 온도를 측정하였다. 시료가 완전히 융해된 후 비동결시료와 동일한 방법으로 실험을 실시하였으며, 포화, 압밀, 전단과정에서 연속적으로 압축파와 전단파를 측정하여 속도를 산정하였다. 실험결과, 동결시료는 비동결시료에 비하여 축차응력과 전단강도는 감소하는 결과를 보였지만, 내부마찰각은 동결-융해의 여부와 상관없이 일정한 값을 나타내었다. 압축파 속도는 포화과정에서 B-value가 증가함에 따라 약 1800 m/s까지 증가하여 수렴하였으나, 압밀과정과 전단과정에서는 일정하게 유지되는 경향을 보였다. 전단파 속도는 포화과정에서 B-value가 증가함에 따라 감소하였고, 압밀과정과 전단과정에서는 시료가 받는 유효응력의 변화에 따라 거동하였다. 실험과정에서 압축파 속도는 상대밀도와 동결-융해여부에 상관없이 유사한 경향을 나타내었으나, 전단파 속도는 같은 상대밀도를 가지더라도 동결-융해시료가 비동결시료에 비해 작은 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구는 동결-융해시료와 비동결시료의 삼축압축실험 결과와 탄성파 특성을 비교함으로써 향후 인공동결공법으로 채취된 비교란 동결시료의 강도평가를 위한 예비실험으로 의의가 있다.

점토의 거동은 온도변화에 민감하기 때문에 고온이력을 받는 점토의 공학적 성질에 관한 연구가 최근 증가하고 있다. 이러한 증가 현상은 온도의 영향을 연구함으로서 점토의 거동을 지배하는 본질적인 메커니즘을 해명할 수 있고 최근 경제활동의 증가와 더불어 화학적인 지반개량, 토양 열 비축시스템 및 방사성 핵폐기물 지하처리 시스템 등 지반이 고온환경에 노출되는 기회가 증가하고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 측면에서 열 이력을 받는 점토 지반의 압밀 및 강도특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다 따라서 본 연구에서는 고온조건에 있는 점토의 역학적 거동을 삼축압축 시험을 통해 조사하였다. 구체적인 방법으로는 고온고압형 삼축압축시험기를 이용해서 압밀비배수 삼축압축시험을 $20^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C,\;75^{\circ}C,\;80^{\circ}C$ 및 $100^{\circ}C$등으로 온도를 변화시켜 실온 및 고온조건에 있는 점토의 변형${\cdot}$전단강도 및 압축${\cdot}$압밀특성 등을 조사하였다.

일반적으로 흡수력은 불포화 흐름과 전단강도상의 거동을 평가하기 위한 중요한 인자가 되며, 불포화토의 부 간극수압은 흙의 구조와 포화도에 의해 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 불포화 준설토의 전단강도 특성을 조사하기 위해 수정된 삼축압축시험이 수행되었다. 실험결과로서 전단강도의 변화는 배수조건보다 흡수력에 더 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었고 점차적으로 흡수력 100 kPa에 수렴되고 있음을 보여준다. 이것은 흙의 불포화 상태에서 내부마찰각과 점착력이 포화상태에 비하여 흡수력에 기인하여 증가하고 있음을 나타내며, 불포화토에서 합리적인 지반강도정수의 산정을 위해서는 흡수력의 변화에 따른 겉보기 마찰각 ${\phi}^b$이 고려되어야 함을 알 수 있다.
