The main purpose of this work is to determine characteristics of undrained shear strength of remolded marine clay at Incheon. Laboratory vane tests with remolded marine clay sampled from west coast at Incheon were performed to investigate the undrained shear strength of them being dumped for reclamation after dredging from the sea bottom. Test results were compared with the predicted values of undrained shear strength proposed by many researchers. It was found that measured results about undrained shear strength with water content was in good agreements with values proposed by Mikasa and Modified Mikasa's empirical formula.

Anisotropic consolidation, shear, a transportational component during or after deposition each may produce anisotropic fabrics, which result in the anisotropic properties of soils. Nevertheless, the isotropically consolidated compression triaxial tests are commonly used in practice to determine the strength of the anisotropically consolidated soils because of their practicality and simplicity. In this paper the effects of anisotropic consolidation on the strength properties of soils are discussed. For the sandy soils consolidated under a constant vertical consolidation pressure, the deformation modulus decreases with decreasing consolidation pressure ratio($\sigma$$\sub$3c/'/$\sigma$ sub 1c/'), but the liquefaction resistance increases. For the saturated cohesive soils, both the undrained shear strength and undrained creep strength decrese with decreasing the consolidation pressure ratio. When the in-situ strength properties of the anisotropically and normally consolidated soils are determined by the isotropically consolidated tests, the undrained shear strength and creep strength of saturated cohesive soils as well as the deformation modulus of sandy soils are measured to be higher than the rear in-situ values. This, therefore, could lead to a dangerous judgement in stability analysis

Soils are generally classified as fine-grained or coarse-grained depending on the percentage content of the primary constituents. In reality, soils are actually made up of mixed and composite constituents. Soils primarily classified as fine-grained, still consists of a range of coarse particles as secondary constituents in between 0% to 50%. A laboratory scale model test was conducted to investigate the influence of coarse particles on the physical (e.g., density, water content, and void ratio) and mechanical (e.g., quick undrained shear strength) properties of primarily classified fine-grained cohesive soils. Pure kaolinite clay and sand-mixed kaolinite soil (e.g., sand content: 10%, 20%, and 30%) having various water contents (60%, 65%, and 70%) were preconsolidated at different stress levels (0, 13, 17.5, 22 kPa). The quick undrained shear strength properties were determined using the conventional Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT) method and the new Fall Cone Test (FCT) method. The corresponding void ratios and densities with respect to the quick undrained shear strength were also observed. Correlations of the physical properties and quick undrained shear strengths derived from the SCPT and FCT were also established. Comparison of results showed a significant relationship between the two methods. From the results of FCT and SCPT, there is a decreasing trend of quick undrained shear strength, strength increase ratio ($S_u/P_o$), and void ratio (e) as the sand content is increased. The quick undrained shear strength generally decreases with increased water content. For the same water content, increasing the sand content resulted to a decrease in quick undrained shear strength due to reduced adhesion, and also, resulted to an increase in density. Similarly, it is observed that the change in density is distinctively noticeable at sand content greater than 20%. However, for sand content lower than 10%, there is minimal change in density with respect to water content. In general, the results showed a decrease in quick undrained shear strength for soils with higher amounts of sand content. Therefore, as the soil adhesion is reduced, the cone penetration resistances of the FCT and SCPT reflects internal friction and density of sand in the total shear strength.

본 연구에서는 고소성토 비배수강도와 주요 특성치들의 관계에 대하여 다양한 현장 및 실내시험 결과를 활용하여 심층적으로 고찰하였다. 소성지수, 활성도, 함수비 및 유효단위중량 등은 비배수강도 및 정규화 비배수강도 경우 모두 예상과 달리 특별한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 과압밀비, 예민비 및 비배수탄성계수 등은 정규화 비배수강도와 분명한 관계를 보여주었다. 정규화 비배수강도 방법이 비배수강도와 특성치들의 연구에 크게 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the characteristics of pullout behavior of Pressurized light-weight steel Anchor was investigated through centrifuge model tests considering pull-out angle $0^{\circ}$ with changing undrained shearstrength(0~1, 2~4, 5~7kPa) of clay. According to the results of tests, the yield pullout load of clay ground was gradually increased up to 30% as undrained shear strength was increased. Therefore, it was known that the yield pullout load was affected by increasing the undrained shear strength, in addition, the pattern of behavior was not changed.

This study performed the physical and mechanical experiment on the samples of costal marine clays individually collected in western and southern regions to identify the characteristics of western and southern costal marine clay. Based on the experiment result, the characteristics of costal marine clay is identified undrained shear strength. Based on the experiment result on the physical and mechanical characteristics of costal marine clays, the regression is presented that can analyze the mechanical characteristics of undrained shear strength in costal marine clay of Korea, region of Korea and western-southern region. The correlation of uniaxial compressive strength and undrained shear strength was suitable for use of western-southern region correlation equation. The test result of Jeonnam Yeosu area compares with prediction results of previous researchers formula and western-southern region formula. Prediction results appear highest reliability on the 0.827 of coefficient of determination in the prediction results of the western-southern region formula.

원추형콘과 T-bar 관입시험기는 점토의 비배수전단강도를 측정하기 위해 널리 사용된다. 축소모형시험의 경우 소형관입시험기가 사용되어야 하지만 경험상관계수에 대해 발표된 자료가 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 소형콘과 소형T-bar 관입시험기의 경험상관계수를 도출하기 위한 시험시스템을 구축하였고, 카올린점토에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 직경 350mm의 강재원형챔버를 사용하여 4개의 모형지반을 조성하였고, 각 모형지반은 다른 선행압밀응력에서 압밀하여 비배수전단강도를 조절하였다. 경계면 효과, 관입속도, 직경 및 형상의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 다른 직경을 가진 두 직경의 소형콘(10mm, 16mm)과 직경 10mm T-bar를 이용하여 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 관입시험 후의 시편을 채취하여 비압밀비배수삼축시험을 수행하여 비배수전단강도로 결정하였다. 최종적으로 비배수전단강도와 관입시 선단저항력의 상관관계를 통해 경험상관계수를 산정하였다.

본 논문에서는 피에조콘 관입시험 결과로부터 점토의 비배수전단강도를 예측하기 위한 인공신경망 이론의 적용과 최적 모델 구축에 대하여 기술하였다. 먼저 등방 및 비등방 삼축압축실험(CIUC and CAUC)으로 얻어진 비배수전단강도 결과를 바탕으로 오차역전파 알고리즘에 의하여 간단한 다층 구조를 갖는 최적 인공신경망 모델이 구성되었다. 구성된 인공신경망 모델은 모델 구축 시에 사용되지 않은 새로운 자료에 대해 비배수전단강도 예측을 수행하고 예측결과와 실내시험 결과를 비교함으로써 그 타당성이 검증되었다. 또한 기존의 이론적 방법, 경험적 방법 및 direct correlation method 등으로 예측된 비배수전단강도와 제안된 모델의 예측결과를 비교하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 인공신경망 모델링 기법은 피에조콘 관측결과들과 비배수전단강도 간의 비선형적 상관관계를 정의하는 데에 유용하며 구성된 인공신경망 모델은 기존의 이론적 및 경험적 방법들에 비하여 예측 신뢰성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지금까지 주로 사용되어 온 경험적 방법들이 특정 지역에 대한 상관관계에 만족하던 것과 비교해 인공신경망 모델은 다양한 지역과 국가에서 일반적으로 적용 가능한 상관관계로서 발전될 가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The estimation of the undrained shear strength $s_u$ for clays using CPT results has been mainly based on the cone factor $N_k$. In this study, a new CPT-based method for the estimation of the undrained shear strength $s_u$ is presented. This aims at reducing uncertainties for the estimation of $s_u$ and enhancing the application of CPT results in more effective manner. For this purpose, a site located at a marine clay deposit is selected and test results from extensive experimental testing program are adopted. The new method defines a direct correlation between the undrained shear strength $s_u$ and the cone resistance $q_t$, excluding the procedure of the overburden pressure correction and therefore undisturbed soil sampling process. In order to verify the new CPT-based method, additional test sites and example sites from literature, which consist of a variety of soil conditions, are selected and examined. It is observed that values of su obtained from the proposed method are in good agreements with measured values of $s_u$ for all the selected verification cases.
