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.

해상풍력발전기의 기초는 바람, 조류, 그리고 파도 하중을 받기 때문에 해상풍력발전기 기초를 설계하는 데 있어 반복하중을 받는 기초지반의 전단거동 평가가 필요하다. 지반의 비배수 동적 전단거동은 반복하중 횟수, 수직 유효응력, 반복 전단변형률, 상대 밀도, 그리고 평균 및 반복전단응력의 조합에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 해양 실트질 모래의 비배수 동적 거동에 대한 평균 및 반복전단응력의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 반복단순전단시험(CDSS)을 수행하였으며 상대밀도 85%, 수직 유효응력 200kPa과 300kPa의 시험조건에서 15%의 이중진폭 동적전단변형률(${\gamma}_{cyc}$)과 영구전단변형률(${\gamma}_p$)를 파괴 기준으로 적용하였다. 시험결과는 설계 그래프와 등고선도로 나타내었다. 결과에 따르면 해양 실트질 모래의 비배수 동적 거동은 평균 및 반복전단응력과 두가지 전단응력의 조합에 의해 크게 변하는 경향을 보였다. 평균전단응력이 존재하는 경우에는 반복전단변형보다는 영구변형에 의해 파괴가 결정되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, to observe aging effect of undrained shear behavior for Nak-Dong River sand, undrained static and cyclic triaxial tests were performed with changing relative density ($D_r$), consolidation stress ratio($K_c$) and consolidation time. As a result of the test, the modulus of elasticity to all samples estimated within elastic zone by the micro strain of about 0.05% in case of static shear behavior increased with the lapse of consolidation time significantly, so aging effect was shown largely. Also strength of phase transformation point(S_{PT}$) and strength of critical stress ratio point($S_{CSR}$) increased with the lapse of consolidation time. Undrained cyclic shear strength($R_f$) obtained from the failure strain 5% increased in proportion to relative density($D_r$) and initial static shear stress($q_{st}$), $R_f$ of consolidated sample for 1,000 minutes increased about 10.6% compared to that for 10 minutes at the loose sand, and $R_f$ increased about 7.0% at the medium sand. In situ application range of $R_f$ to the magnitude of earthquake for Nak-Dong River sand was proposed by using a increasing rate of $R_f$ as being aging effect shown from this test result.

This study was carried out to improve our understanding about the influence of silt content on the stress-strain of sand under cyclic loading. Soil specimens were prepared by wet-tamping method as same void ratio and specimen's silt contents on total weights was changed from 0% to 20%. Also, effects of the silt contents on the stress-strain response were studied at different anisotropic consolidation ratio, Kc=1.0, 1.5, 2.0 condition. As a result, cyclic shear strength decreased as silt contents increased in same stress ratios. In same silt contents, cyclic shear strength increased as Kc increased in lower silt contents, but in higher silt contents, it had reverse 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.

본 논문에서는 모래의 비배수 정적전단거동과 반복전단거동의 상호관계를 분석하기 위하여 낙동강 모래를 사용하여 비배수 정적 및 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 정적삼축시험은 반복전단거동과의 상호비교를 위하여 인장시험을 포함하여 실시하였다. 그리고 반복삼축시험은 초기정적전단응력$(q_{st})$과 반복응력$(q_{cy})$조건을 조합하여 여러 응력조건 하에서 실시하였다. 시험결과 반복전단거동의 응력경로는 정적전단거동의 한계응력비(CSR)선을 지나면서 유동변형이 발생하여 정적전단거동과 일치하였으며, 그 후 정적전단거동의 파괴선(FL)을 따라 파괴가 발생하였다. 이러한 반복 전단거동의 응력경로는 시험방법이 다름에 따른 약간의 차이는 있으나 정적전단거동의 응력경로와 본질적으로 동일함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an investigation of the liquefaction characteristics and particle crushing of isotropically consolidated silica sand specimens at a wide range of confining pressures varying from 0.1 MPa to 5 MPa during undrained cyclic shearing. Different failure patterns of silica sand specimens subjected to undrained cyclic loading were seen at low and high pressures. The sudden change points with regard to the increasing double amplitude of axial strain with cycle number were identified, regardless of confining pressure. A higher cyclic stress ratio caused the specimen to liquefy at a relatively smaller cycle number, conversely producing a larger relative breakage $B_r$. The rise in confining pressure also resulted in the increasing relative breakage. At a specific cyclic stress ratio, the relative breakage and plastic work increased with the rise in the cyclic loading. Less particle crushing and plastic work consumption was observed for tests terminated after one cyclic loading. Majority of the particle crushing was produced and majority of the plastic work was consumed after the specimen passed through the phase transformation point and until reaching the failure state. The large amount of particle crushing resulted from the high-level strain induced by particle transformation and rotation.

Earthquakes not only produce additional load on the structures and underlying soil, but also change the strength characteristics of the soil. Therefore, in order to analyze soil structures for stability, the behaviour after earthquake must be considered. In this paper, a series of cyclic triaxial tests and monotonic triaxial tests were carried out to investigate the undrained shear strength and liquefaction strength characteristics of Nak-Dong River sand soils which were subjected to cyclic loading. The sample was consolidated in the first stage and then subjected to stress controlled cyclic loading with 0.1Hz. After the cyclic loading, the cyclic-induced excess pore water pressure was dissipated by opening the drainage valve and the sample was reconsolidated to the initial effective mean principal stress(p/sub c/'). After reconsolidation, the monotonic loading or cyclic loading were applied to the specimen. In the results, the undrained shear strength and liquefaction strength characteristics depended on the pore pressure ratio(Ur=U/p/sub c/'). The volume change following reconsolidation can be a function of cyclic-induced excess pore water pressure and the maximum double amplitude of axial strain.

압밀응력비, 과압밀비 및 반복재하를 포함하는 압밀응력이력이 점성토의 비배수전단강도에 미치는 영향에 관해서 연구하였다. $(S_u/\sigma'_{vc})ckou/(S_U/\sigma_{vc})cuv$의 강도비는 과압밀비가 증가함에 따라 증가됨이 관찰되었다. Mayne(1980)이 과압밀점토의 비배수전단강도를 추정하기 위해 제안한 식(1)과 Yasuhara(1994)가 반복재하로 인해 발생된 간극수압이 소산된 후의 비 배수전단강도를 구하기 위해 제안한 식(4)는 Ko압밀상태에서도 비교적 잘 적용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이들 두 식중의 원위치전단강도를 위한 한계상태간극수압정수 A.값은 조금 과압밀된 점토의 경우(OCR< 3) 표준압밀시험에 의해서 구할 것을 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 분포하는 모래와 실트를 대상으로 실트 함유량에 따른 모래의 비배수 반복전단강도 특성을 파악하기 위하여 이방압밀비($K_c$=1.0, 1.5, 2.0)를 달리하여 일련의 비배수 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 모든 $K_c$에서 실트 함유량이 증가함에 따라 반복전단응력비(CSR)가 감소하였으며, $K_c$가 증가할수록 실트 함유량 증가에 의한 CSR의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다. 전단시 발생되는 과잉간극수압은 $K_c$에 관계없이 실트 함유량 증가에 따라 초기 과잉간극수압이 크게 발생되어 CSR의 감소에 영향을 미쳤으며, 또한 압밀 후 시료의 skeleton 간극비를 산정하여 분석한 결과 실트 함유량 증가에 비례하여 전반적으로 skeleton 간극비가 크게 증가하여 초기 과잉간극수압의 증가와 더블어 CSR 감소의 주요원인으로 파악되었다.
