It is well known that acoustic emission (AE) is indicator of rock fracturing or damage as rock is brought to failure under the uniaxial compressive loads. In this paper, an experimental study on the source location of acoustic emission on the cylindrical specimens of granite under uniaxial compression test was made. The AE source location was made by measuring the six channel AE data. Comparing to this experiment, the numerical method is applied to model the initiation and propagation of fracture by AE using a numerical code, RFPA (Realistic Failure Process Analysis). This code incorporates the mesoscopic heterogeneity in Young's modulus and rock strength characteristic of rock masses. In the numerical models, values of Young's modulus and rock strength are realized according to a Weibull distribution in which the distribution parameters represent the level of heterogeneity of the medium. The results of the simulations show that RFPA can be used not only to produce acoustic emission similar to those measurements in our experiments, but also to predict fracturing patterns under uniaxial loading condition.

Scaled brick masonry panels were tested under cyclic unialxial compression loading to evaluate its deformation characteristics. An envelope stress - strain curves, a common point curves and stability point curves were obtained for various cyclic test conditions. Loops of the stress-strain hysteresis were used to determine the energy dissipation for each cycle. Empirical expressions were proposed for the relations between energy dissipation and envelope and residual strains. These relations indicated that the decay of masonry strength starts at about two-third of peak stress.

In order to study the triaxial mechanical behavior of steel fiber reinforced high performance concrete (SFRHPC), the standard triaxial compression tests with four different confining pressures are performed on the cylindrical specimens. Three different steel fiber volumes (0, 1% and 2%) are added in the specimens with diameter of 50 mm and height of 100 mm. Test results show that the triaxial compressive strength and peak strain increase with the increasing of fiber content at the same confining pressure. At the same steel fiber content, the triaxial compressive strength and peak strain increases with the confining pressure. The compressive strength growth rate declines as the confining pressure and steel fiber content increases. Longitudinal cracks are dominant in specimens with or without steel fiber under uniaxial compression loading. While with the confining pressure increases, diagonal crack due to shear is obvious. The Mohr-Coulomb criterion is illustrated can be used to describe the failure behavior, and the cohesive force increases as steel fiber content increases. Finally, the numerical model is built by using the PFC3D software. In the numerical model a index is introduced to reflect the effect of steel fiber content on the triaxial compressive behavior. The simulating stress-strain curve and failure mode of SFRHPC are agree well with the experimental results.

Man-made structure materials like concrete usually contain inclusions. These inclusions affect the mechanical properties of concrete. In this investigation, the influence of inclusion length and inclination angle on three-dimensional failure mechanism of concrete under uniaxial compression were performed using experimental test and numerical simulation. Approach of acoustic emission were jointly used to analyze the damage and fracture process. Besides, by combining the stress-strain behavior, quantitative determination of the thresholds of crack stress were done. concrete specimens with dimensions of 120 mm × 150 mm × 100 mm were provided. One and two holes filled by gypsum are incorporated in concrete samples. To build the inclusion, firstly cylinder steel tube was pre-inserting into the concrete and removing them after the initial hardening of the specimen. Secondly, the gypsum was poured into the holes. Tensile strengths of concrete and gypsum were 2.45 MPa and 1.5 MPa, respectively. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind ary from 0 to 90 with increases of 30. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Diameter of the hole was 20 mm. Entirely 20 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Simultaneous with experimental tests, numerical simulation (Particle flow code in two dimension) were carried out on the numerical models containing the inclusions. The numerical model were calibrated firstly by experimental outputs and then failure behavior of models containing inclusions have been investigated. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind vary from 0 to 90 with increases of 15. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Entirely 32 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Loading rate was 0.05 mm/sec. The results indicated that when inclusion has occupied 100% of sample thickness, two tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusion has occupied 75% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusions have occupied 50% and 25% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. Also the inclusion was failed by one tensile crack. The compressive strength of samples decease with the decreases of the inclusions length, and inclusion angle had some effects on that. Failure of concrete is mostly due to the tensile crack. The behavior of crack, was affected by the inclusion length and inclusion number.

심층혼합공법에 지반안정재를 사용하는 경우, 흙의 종류와 입도분포, 함수비 등의 조건에 따라 압축강도의 발현이 다르게 나타날 수 있어 지반의 안정성을 확보하기 위해 필요한 단위결합재량을 산정하기 위해서는 실내에서의 배합시험을 통해 설계기준강도의 만족 여부를 확인하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통해 순환유동층 보일러의 연소재를 고로슬래그의 알칼리 활성화 반응의 자극재로 활용하여 개발한 심층혼합공법용 지반안정재에 대해 다양한 단위결합재량을 적용하여 부산, 여수, 인천지역에서 채취한 점토와 혼합한 후 실내시험을 실시하여 압축강도의 발현효과를 고로슬래그 시멘트와 비교 평가하였다. 또한 국내에서 심층혼합공법에 개발된 지반안정재를 적용하는 경우, 실내에서의 배합시험을 수행하지 않고 단위결합재량을 산정할 수 있도록 실내시험 결과를 종합적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 물/결합재비(W/B)가 70%인 경우, ${\gamma}_B=(108.93+0.0284q_u){\pm}35$, 물/결합재비(W/B)가 80%인 경우, ${\gamma}_B=(122.93+0.0270q_u){\pm}40$의 관계가 있는 것으로 도출되었다.

본 연구에서는 준설토, EPS 그리고 고화재를 혼합한 경량혼합토의 역학적 특성을 일축 및 삼축압축시험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 역학적 특성은 다양한 준설토의 초기 함수비, EPS 함유율, 시멘트 함유율 그리고 양생압력에 대한 경량혼합토의 압축강도에 대하여 연구하였다. 삼축압축상태에서 EPS를 함유한 경량혼합토의 압축강도는 유효구속압에 의존 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. EPS 함유율이 감소할수록($A_E$<2%) 그리고 시멘트 함유율이 증가할수록($A_c$>2%) 삼축압축강도-변형 거동특성은 극한 압축강도를 지나 급격한 압축강도의 감소를 보이는 시멘트 혼합토의 압축강도-변형 거동특성과 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 200kpa 이상의 압축강도를 요구하는 개량지반에 본 경량혼합토를 적용하는 경우에서 적절한 준설토의 초기함수비, EPS 함유율은 각각 약 165%~175%이상 그리고 3%~4%이상으로 제시할 수가 있었다. 삼축 및 일축압축상태에서 극한 압축강도는 시멘트 함유율이 2%이상에서 거의 증가하지 않음으로서 한계 시멘트 함유율은 2%로 제시할 수가 있었다.

Uniaxial compressive strength test and uniaxial compression creep one were produced on four groups of twelve concrete specimens with different hole number by RLW-2000 rock triaxial rheology test system. The relationships between horizontal holes and instantaneous failure stress, the strain, and creep failure stress, the strain, and the relationships between stress level and instantaneous strain, creep strain were studied, and the relationship between horizontal holes and failure mode was determined. The results showed that: with horizontal hole number increasing, compressive strength of the specimens decreased whereas its peak strain increased, while both creep failure strength and its peak strain decreased. The relationships between horizontal holes and compressive strength of the specimens, the peak strain, were represented in quadratic polynomial, the relationships between horizontal holes and creep failure strength, the peak strain were represented in both linear and quadratic polynomial, respectively. Instantaneous strain decreased with stress level increasing, and the more holes in the blocks the less the damping of instantaneous strain were recorded. In the failure stress level, instantaneous strain reversally increased, creep strain showed three stages: decreasing, increasing, and sharp increasing; in same stress level, the less holes the less creep strain rate was recorded. The compressive-shear failure was produced along specimen diagonal line where the master surface of creep failure occurred, the more holes in a block, the higher chances of specimen failure and the more obvious master surface were.

CFS로 둘러싸서 외부에서 구속하는 방법은 정적 혹은 지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 기둥을 보강하는데 매우 효과적이다. 이러한 CFS 보강법의 신뢰성 있고 경제적인 설계를 위해서는 정확한 CFS 구속콘크리트의 응력-변형률 모델이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 사각단면을 갖는 단주 RC 기둥에 대해서 일축압축 실험을 실시하였다. CFS 면적비와 띠철근 면적비가 CFS로 구속된 콘크리트의 응력-변형률관계에 대한 구속 효과를 평가하기 위한 실험변수로서 고려되었다. 실험결과를 기초로 CFS로 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 새로운 응력-변형률 모델을 제안하였다. 제안 모델에서는 파괴 시 CFS에 발생하는 변형률을 계산하기 위한 방법이 검토되었으며 적절하게 고려되었다. 그 결과, 제안모델은 실험결과를 정확하게 예측하였다.

This study evaluates the interfacial properties of composite specimens consisting of shotcrete and sprayed waterproofing membrane. Two different membrane prototypes were first produced and tested for their waterproofing ability. Then composite specimens were prepared and their interfacial properties assessed in direct shear and uniaxial compression tests. The direct shear test showed the peak shear strength and shear stiffness of the composites' interface decreased as the membrane layer became thicker. The shear stiffness, a key input parameter for numerical analysis, was estimated to be 0.32-1.74 GPa/m. Shear stress transfer at the interface between the shotcrete and membrane clearly emerged when measuring peak shear strengths (1-3 MPa) under given normal stress conditions of 0.3-1.5 MPa. The failure mechanism was predominantly shear failure at the interface in most composite specimens, and shear failure in the membranes. The uniaxial compression test yielded normal stiffness values for the composite specimens of 5-24 GPa/m. The composite specimens appeared to fail by the compressive force forming transverse tension cracks, mainly around the shotcrete surface perpendicular to the membrane layer. Even though the composite specimens had strength and stiffness values sufficient for shear stress transfer at the interfaces of the two shotcrete layers and the membrane, the sprayed waterproofing membrane should be as thin as possible whilst ensuring waterproofing so as to obtain higher strength and stiffness at the interface.
