Thick soft clay deposits which are generally located at the west and south coast of the Korean peninsula have complicated characteristics according to their orientation and formation history. Thus, several geotechnical problems could possibly occur when those soft clay deposits are used as foundations for marine structures. Deep cement mixing (DCM) method is one of the most widely used soft soil improvement method for various marine structures, nowadays. DCM method injects binders such as cement into the soft ground directly and mixes with the in-situ soil to improve the strength and other geotechnical properties sufficiently. However, the natural impacts induced by dynamic motions such as ocean waves, wind, typhoon, and tusnami give significant influences on the stability of marine structures and their underlaying foundations. Thus, the dynamic properties become important design criteria to insure the seismic stability of marine structures. In this study, the dynamic behavior of cemented Busan clay is evaluated. Laboratory unconfined compression test and resonant column test are performed on natural in-situ soil and cement mixed specimens to confirm the strength and strain-dependent dynamic behavior variation induced by cement mixing treatment. Results show that the unconfined compressive strength and shear modulus increase with curing time and cement content increment. Finally, the optimized cement mixing ratio for sufficient dynamic stability is obtained through this study. The results of this study are expected to be widely used to improve the reliability of seismic design for marine structures.

Soil is the fundamental element in the construction process. Soil problems affect the safety of the structures, even so the high quality of the structures and so, bad soil found the structures will affect the lifetime or even destroy the structures built on it. Therefore, the study of soil is an important step in the construction process and the investigation of the most effective characteristics of a special kind of soil (shale soil), i.e. Atterberg limits, swelling pressure, swelling potential and unconfined compression strength, are the most effective soil properties. A big projects will be constructed in new urban extension areas with expansive shale soils, like at Al-Kawamil and new Akhmim shale soils which associated with soil problems, treatment system should be used to ensure the stability of the soil under the structures foundations one of the most effective methods is by adding lime solution to the soil by specific quantities, which affect on the properties of the shale soil by decreasing the swelling and increasing the compressive strength of the treatment soils. Experimenting with the soil added to the lime, it was found that the addition of lime solution 6% improve c j the properties of the soil. The results of the tests showed the high effectiveness of using lime in the treatment of Al-Kawamil soil

하천의 기본기능인 치수, 이수, 환경 및 문화 등을 되살리기 위한 국가적 사업인 4대강 국가하천 정비사업은 홍수에 안전한 문화 및 생태가 살아있는 친환경 하천 공간을 정비하기 위한 것으로 건설재료의 친환경성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다당류 친환경 개량재인 콘알파를 활용한 토양 및 시멘트 혼화제를 개발하여 다짐시험, 투수시험 및 일축압축강도시험을 통하여 친환경 하천 공간을 위한 건설재료로의 적합성을 평가하고자 하였다. 일축압축시험의 결과로는 다당류 지반개량재가 강도 증진에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않음을 알 수 있다. 이에 대한 원인을 분석한 결과, 일반적으로 자연 상태에서 토사에 서식하고 있는 각종 균들이 본 연구에서 정확한 배합비를 얻기 위해 건조로에서 고온으로 건조를 시키는 과정에서 활동성이 극 저하되어 강도증진 효과에 반영되지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 향후, 다당류 친환경 지반개량재와 관련된 시험에서는 각 시료를 자연상태에서 함수비를 측정하여 적정함 수비로 다진 뒤, 다당류 지반개량재를 혼합하여 공학적 시험을 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.

This research is results of experimental and numerical works on characteristic of strength increase and bearing capacity in dredged and reclaimed soil due to desiccation shrinkage. For a soil sampled from southern coastal area in Korea, basic soil property tests and standard consolidation test with falling head permeability tests were carried out to obtain consolidational characteristics of soil. Double cone penetration test, laboratory vane test and unconfined compression test were also performed to investigate the change of shear strength with degree of desiccation. Model tests were performed in 1G environment and 30G level artificially accelerated condition by using the centrifuge model test facilities to investigate the bearing capacity of desiccated ground. Test results were analyzed by using the theoretical and load-settlement characteristics method proposed by Meyehof & Hanna(1978). On the other hands, the numerical technique, using the finite strain consolidation theory considering the effect of desiccation was used to estimate the appropriate time of using heavy construction equipments in field with respect to strength increase due to desiccation.

The primary aim of this study is to develop a three dimensional finite element (FE) model to predict the axial stress-strain relationship and ultimate strength of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns by comparing experimental results. The reliability of four selected confinement models and three design codes such as ACI-440, CSA-S806-02, and ISIS CANADA is also evaluated in terms of agreement with the experimental results. Totally 6 unconfined and 36 different types of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns are tested under monotonic axial compression. The values of ultimate strengths of FRP-wrapped UHPC columns obtained from the experimental results are compared and verified with finite element (FE) analysis results and the design codes mentioned above. The concrete damage plasticity model (CDPM) in Abaqus is utilized to represent the confined behavior of the UHPC. The results indicate that agreement between the test results and the non-linear FE analysis results is highly satisfactory. The CSA-S806-02 design code is considered more reliable than the ACI-440 and the ISIS CANADA design codes to calculate the ultimate strength of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns. None of the selected confinement models that are developed for FRP-wrapped low and normal strength concrete columns can safely predict the ultimate strength of FRP-wrapped UHPC columns.

기존의 많은 연구에서 비구속 콘크리트에 비해 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트는 강도 및 연성의 탁월한 증진 효과가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나, FRP로 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 보강 설계 시 구속 효과에 의한 정확한 평가가 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 강도 및 변형률을 예측하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 102개의 실험체를 제작하여 일축압축실험을 수행하였으며 축하중, 축방향 변형률 및 횡방향 변형률을 측정하였다. 또한, 보다 정확한 극한응력과 변형률 예측식을 개발하기 위하여 기존 연구 결과를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 압축강도 실험을 통해 강도 및 변형률 예측 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 식은 기존의 설계식에 비해 극한응력과 파괴 변형률을 보다 정확하게 예측하였다. 결과적으로, 본 연구에서 제안된 식은 구속된 콘크리트의 보수 보강을 위한 응력-변형률 모델에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study presents experimental and numerical investigations on circular steel tube confined ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) columns under axial compression. The plain UHPC without fibers was designed to achieve a compressive strength ranged between 150 MPa and 200 MPa. Test results revealed that loading on only the UHPC core can generate a significant confinement effect for the UHPC core, thus leading to an increase in both strength and ductility of columns, and restricting the inherent brittleness of unconfined UHPC. All tested columns failed by shear plane failure of the UHPC core, this causes a softening stage in the axial load versus axial strain curves. In addition, an increase in the steel tube thickness or the confinement index was found to increase the strength and ductility enhancement and to reduce the magnitude of the loss of load capacity. Besides, steel tube with higher yield strength can improve the post-peak behavior. Based on the test results, the load contribution of the steel tube and the concrete core to the total load was examined. It was found that no significant confinement effect can be developed before the peak load, while the ductility of post-peak stage is mainly affected by the degree of the confinement effect. A finite element model (FEM) was also constructed in ABAQUS software to validate the test results. The effect of bond strength between the steel tube and the UHPC core was also investigated through the change of friction coefficient in FEM. Furthermore, the mechanism of circular steel tube confined UHPC columns was examined using the established FEM. Based on the results of FEM, the confining pressures along the height of each modeled column were shown. Furthermore, the interaction between the steel tube and the UHPC core was displayed through the slip length and shear stresses between two surfaces of two materials.

This paper investigates the strength characteristics and stress-strain behaviors of waste fishing net (WFN)-added lightweight soil. The lightweight soil, which consisted of dredged soil, crumb rubber, and cement, was reinforced with WFN in order to increase its shear strength. Glue treated WFN was also added to lightweight soil to improve the interlocking between the soil mixture and WFN. Three kinds of test specimens were prepared: unreinforced lightweight soil, reinforced lightweight soil without glue treatment, and reinforced lightweight soil with glue treatment. Several series of laboratory tests were carried out, including flow value tests, unconfined compression tests, and SEM analyses. From the experimental results, it was found that the peak strength of the reinforced lightweight soil with glue treatment was increased by the increased interlocking between the soil mixture and WFN, which was induced from the bonding effect. The stress-strain relation of the reinforced lightweight soil, irrespective of the glue treatment, showed a more ductile behavior than that of the unreinforced lightweight soil.

항로유지 준설과 해안건설 현장에서 채취된 해양준설토는 일반적으로 점토 성분 내에 다량의 염분을 함유하고 있다. 본 논문은 염분이 포함된 고화준설토(S-SDS)와 염분이 포함되지 않은 고화준설토(N-SDS)의 역학적 특성에 대한 염분의 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 염분이 포함된 준설토와 염분이 포함되지 않은 준설토에 각각 동일한 양의 시멘트를 혼합하여 여러 개의 시편을 제작하였다. 7일 혹은 28일 양생된 N-SDS와 S-SDS 시편에 대하여 전자현미경 분석, 일축압축시험 및 구속압축시험을 수행함으로써 고화준설토의 미세 흙구조, 강도 및 압축 특성을 비교 및 분석하였다. 실험결과 점토에 포함된 염분은 고화준설토의 미세 흙구조 형성 뿐만 아니라 고화토의 강도발현에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 S-SDS의 압축지수와 팽창지수는 N-SDS 보다 크게 나왔다. 이것으로부터 염분은 고화토의 압축성을 증가시킨다는 것을 알 수 있다. 염분은 고결화된 준설토의 강도발현 및 압축성에 악영향을 주었다.
