Strength evaluation of soft soils is a formidable task because of difficulties in sampling, specimen preparation and setting in triaxial cells. In undrained triaxial testing, sampling disturbance, verticality of specimen and bedding effect give a great influence on shear strength measurements. In the other hand, shear wave measurements of specimens are less influenced by these factors. In this research, the bender elements were attached top cap and base pedestal of triaxial cell and shear wave velocities were measured. To initiate a methodology to evaluate shear strength indirectly by measuring shear wave velocity, a relationship between shear strength and shear wave velocity was developed with kaolinite specimens consolidated in the laboratory. Undrained shear strength turns out to increase linearly with shear wave velocity. Stress-strain curves can also be predicted with a hyperbolic model and shear wave measurements.

This study performs a series of Triaxial Compression Test for clay-sand composite specimens changing area replacement ratio. Purpose of the test is to conform the propriety of weighted average method in estimating shear strength of the composite ground. The test results show that measured values of shear strength of composite specimens are larger by 20∼30% than those from estimation using the current weighted average method. It is thought that the differences are from pseudo-overconsolidation behavior of composite specimens.

In the present study, the loading frequency dependencies of cyclic shear strength and elastic shear modulus of reconstituted clay were examined by performing undrained cyclic triaxial tests and undrained cyclic triaxial tests to determine deformation properties. The result of undrained cyclic triaxial test of reconstituted and saturated clay shows that a faster frequency leads to higher stress amplitude ratio, but when the frequency becomes fast up to a certain point, the stress amplitude ratio will reach its maximum limit and the frequency dependence becomes insignificant. And also, the result of undrained cyclic triaxial deformation test shows a fact that a faster loading frequency leads to higher equivalent shear modules and smaller hysteresis damping ratio, and confirms the frequency dependence of cohesive soil. Meanwhile, the result of the creep test shows that continuing creep is created in the undrained cyclic triaxial test with slow loading frequency rate, and since loading rate becomes slower at the vicinity of the maximum and the minimum deviator stress due to sine wave loading, the vicinity of the maximum and the minimum deviator stress shall be more influenced by creep.

In this study the shear strengths of a poorly grad ed rock material(d/sub max/≤50.8mm, C/sub u/=1.86) were determined by large direct shear test and large triaxial test. The obtained stress-strain curves by the above large shear tests for the rock materials are similar to the loose sand's or normally consolidated clay's curve, in which the peak strength does not appear obviously. And for the uniformly graded rock material the shear strength by large direct shear test may be overestimated around 1.54∼1.70 times that of large triaxial test.

SHANSEP method involves the consolidation to stresses in excess of the preconsolidation pressure in order to overcome sample disturbance effect. The concept of SHANSEP is based on an approach to laboratory test which attempts to reproduce the in-situ conditions more closely than is possible in routine tests and evaluates normalized strength parameters for the soil as a function of OCR. But SHANSEP method can be applied only to fairly uniform clay deposits, and is unsuitable for a random deposit. In this study, CK/sub o/U triaxial compression test and incremental loading consolidation test were performed for the application of SHANSEP method on Yangsan clay. During the K/sub o/-consolidation, triaxial specimens were consolidated to stress equal to two times the in-situ vertical effective stress. And for overconsolidated condition, the specimens were swelled to a known vertical effective stress in order to have the desired OCR. With the results of CK/sub o/U triaxial compression test using the block samples, the relationship between c/sub u//σ/sub vc/' and OCR on Yangsan clay was established. For evaluating the undrained shear strength of Yangsan clay with depth, CK/sub o/U triaxial compression test was performed using the piston samples taken from Yangsan site. And also undrained shear strength was analyzed from the in-situ test such as Cone Penetration Test(CPT), Dilatometer Test(DMT), and Field Vane Test(FVT) and was compared with that of CK/sub o/U triaxial compression test.

An assessment of liquefaction potential is made in principle by comparing the shear stress induced by earthquake to the liquefaction strength of the soil. In this study, a modified method based on Seed and Idriss theory is developed for evaluating liquefaction potential. The shear stress in the ground can be evaluated with seismic response analysis and the liquefaction strength of the soil can be investigated by using cyclic triaxial tests. The cyclic triaxial tests are conducted in two different conditions in order to investigate the factors affecting liquefaction strength such as cyclic shear stress amplitude and relative density. And performance of the modified method in practical examples is demonstrated by applying it to liquefaction analysis of artificial zones with dimensions and material properties similar to those in a typical field. From the result, the modified method for assessing liquefaction potential can successfully evaluate the safety factor under moderate magnitude(M=6.5) of earthquake.

The behaviour of an unsaturated soil was analyzed by performing $K_0$ consolidated triaxial tests. Unsaturated triaxial tests were performed with matric suctions for weathered soils and could catch stress paths under consolidation and stress-strain relationships under shear. As a result, both isotropic and $K_0$ conditions had similar shear strength envelopes in the same matric suction. Especially, strength parameters could obtain by stress variables based on critical state theory reasonably which was better than those by Mohr circles at failure.

본 연구에서는 철도, 도로 등 대형 성토지반구조물의 주요 지반재료인 입경이 큰 조립재료에 대해 전단강도, 변형계수, 응력-변형 거동과 같은 지반공학적 설계정수를 평가 산정할 수 있는 대형삼축압축시험장비를 구축하고, 이를 활용한 도상자갈재료에 대한 정적삼축압축시험 결과를 통해 그 의미와 적용 가능성을 제시하였다. 도상자갈과 같이 지표면에 설치되어 포화 가능성이 낮고, 구속압이 작은 경우에는 진공압(vacuum)으로 구속압을 제어하는 방식이 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 도상자갈 재료의 삼축압축시험 결과로부터 구속압별 전단강도, 변형계수, 입자파쇄 영향 등의 합리적인 결과와 경향을 확인하였으며, 모암의 입자강도, 구속압 등의 영향을 고려하여 전단강도 포락선을 예측할 수 있는 비선형식에 적합한 재료 상수를 산정, 적용하여 실험 결과를 근접하게 재현해낼 수 있었다.

댐이나 항만 건설시 재료로 사용되는 조립재는 입자크기가 일반 토사에 비해 매우 크기 때문에 이러한 재료에 대해서 전단시험을 수행할 때에는 가급적 대형 전단시험장치를 사용하는 것이 보다 정확한 결과를 얻기 위해 바람직하다. 대형 전단시험장치로는 일반적으로 대형 직접전단시험장치와 대형 삼축압축시험장치가 있으나 일반 토질시험장치와 비교해 제작과 보급, 운영 등의 어려움 때문에 현재까지 국내에서 두 시험장치를 사용하여 시험을 수행한 실적은 많지 않은 편이다. 본 연구에서는 댐 축조재로 사용되는 입경이 큰 조립재료를 대상으로 시료의 평균 입자크기와 공시체 크기, 연직응력(구속압) 조건 등에 차이가 있는 총 6개 case에 대해서 대형 직접전단시험과 대형 삼축압축시험을 수행하고 두 시험간 전단강도 특성의 차이를 비교하였다. Mohr-Coulomb 강도규준에 의한 전단강도를 기준으로, 대형 직접전단시험을 통해 산정된 전단강도가 대형 삼축압축시험을 통해 산정된 전단강도보다 전체적으로 크게 나타났으며 또한, 1,000kPa 수직응력에 대해 두 시험간 산정된 전단강도를 비교한 결과 대형 직접전단시험에 의한 전단강도가 대형 삼축압축시험에 의한 전단강도보다 약 10~70% 크게 나타나 입경이 작은 일반 토사와 비교해 그 차이가 크고, 대형 직접전단시험결과의 분산도가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다.

An assessment of liquefaction potential is made in principle by comparing earthquake induced shear stress to the liquefaction strength of the soil. In this research a modified method based on Seed and Idriss theory is developed for evaluating liquefaction strength of Jumunjon sand(Korean standard sand). Also the factors affecting liquefaction strenght such as cyclic shear stress amplitude and relative density are investigated and verified by using cyclic triaxial test. From the result the new relationships between cyclic shear stress ratio and number of load cycles are proposed for evaluating liquefaction strength under moderated magnitude(M=6.5) of earthquake.
