Determination of the mechanical behaviour of jointed rock masses has been a challenge for rock engineers for decades. This problem is more pronounced for non-persistent jointed rock masses due to complicated interaction of rock bridges on the overall behaviour. This paper aims to study the effect of a non-persistent joint set configuration on the mechanical behaviour of rock materials under both uniaxial and biaxial compression tests using a discrete element code. The numerical simulation of biaxial compressive strength of rock masses has been challenging in the past due to shortcomings of bonded particle models in reproducing the failure envelope of rock materials. This problem was resolved in this study by employing the flat-joint contact model. The validity of the numerical model was investigated through a comprehensive comparative study against physical uniaxial and biaxial compression experiments. Good agreement was found between numerical and experimental tests in terms of the recorded peak strength and the failure mode in both loading conditions. Studies on the effect of joint orientation on the failure mode showed that four zones of intact, transition to block rotation, block rotation and transition to intact failure occurs when the joint dip angle varies from 0° to 90°. It was found that the applied confining stress can significantly alter the range of these zones. It was observed that the minimum strength occurs at the joint dip angle of around 45 degrees under different confining stresses. It was also found that the joint orientation can alter the post peak behaviour and the lowest brittleness was observed at the block rotation zone.

직교로 보강된 판은 효율적인 하중분배능력과 좌굴안정성 때문에 장대교량의 강상판으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일축압축을 받는 직교로 보강된 판의 좌굴강도를 해석적 방법으로 추정하였다. 판이론을 사용하여 전체좌굴 및 부분좌굴과 같은 여러 모드에서의 좌굴응력식을 유도하고, 좌굴강도에 대한 횡리브와 종리브의 강성과 개수 등의 효과를 보이기 위하여 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. 정량적인 해석을 통해 종리브와 횡리브의 강성과 간격의 영향을 보였다.

Soil-cement has been broadly used for eco friendly pavement, slope protection and soft soil improvement since it used for the increase of soil strength with cement. Recently, additional agents are mixed with existing soil-cement so as to improve specific properties or functions such as strength, color and permeability of it. This study aims at figuring out the physical and mechanical properties of a soil-cement mixed with crashed oyster shell and loess. The study is specially focused on the applicability of oyster shell as an alternative material for sands. To have his objective achieved a series of uniaxial compression tests were conducted. As a result, it appears that usage of oyster shell may have effect on strength improvement of mixed soils.

The search for a design that meets both performance and safety, with minimal cost and lesser environmental impact was always the goal of structural engineers. In general, the design of conventional reinforced concrete structures is an iterative process based on rules of thumb established from the personal experience and intuition of the designer. However, such procedure makes the design process exhaustive and only occasionally leads to the best solution. In such context, this work presents the development and implementation of a mathematical formulation for obtaining optimal sections of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression, based on the verification of strength proposed by the Brazilian standard NBR 6118 (ABNT 2007). To minimize the cost of the reinforced concrete columns, the Simulated Annealing optimization method was used, in which the amount and diameters of the reinforcement bars and the dimensions of the columns cross sections were considered as discrete variables. The results obtained were compared to those obtained from the conventional design procedure and other optimization methods, in an attempt to verify the influence of resistance class, variations in the magnitudes of bending moment and axial force, and material costs on the optimal design of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression.

Experimental research was conducted to investigate the behavior of RC circular columns confined by high-strength ties. Large scale columns with concrete strength 34.1 and 65.3 MPa were tested under monotonically increasing concentric compression. The test parameters included the volumetric ratio, tie arrangement, tie yield strength, and concrete compressive strength. The results indicate that high-strength concrete columns can be confined to achieve inelastic deformations usually predicted for normal-strength concrete columns. This can be done by providing increasing volumetric ratio and tie yield strength.

The use of the coal ash for surcharge material, in a view of the environmental aspect, can decrease amount of the reclamation through recycling waste materials as well as prevent a destruction of the ecosystem attributed to sand picking. In addition, it can reduce both unit cost of material and construction expenses. In this study, new construction material as alternative surcharge material using coal ash, which is by-product from thermoelectric power plant, were developed. Mixing ratios of fly ash and bottom ash derived from the coal ash in Samchunpo thermoelectric power plants were determined. Furthermore, mixing conditions depending on the ratios of the cement and gypsum used for chemical additive were determined too. Uniaxial compression strength tests were conducted at different mixing conditions and Design graph of optimum mixing ratio at each required strength for economic efficiency is indicated in this paper.

Slime is produced by excavation during the installation of embedded piles, and it tends to mix with the cement paste injected into the pile shafts. The objective of this study is to investigate the strength and stiffness characteristics of cement pasteslime mixtures. Mixtures with different slime ratios are prepared and cured for 28 days. Uniaxial compression tests and elastic wave measurements are conducted to obtain the static and dynamic properties, respectively. The uniaxial compressive strengths and static elastic moduli of the mixtures are evaluated according to the curing period, slime ratio, and water-cement ratio. In addition, dynamic properties, e.g., the constrained, shear, and elastic moduli, are estimated from the compressional and shear wave velocities. The experimental results show that the static and dynamic properties increase under an increase in the curing period but decrease under an increase in the slime and water-cement ratios. The cement paste-slime mixtures show several exponential relationships between their static and dynamic properties, depending on the slime ratio. The bearing mechanisms of embedded piles can be better understood by examining the strength and stiffness characteristics of cement paste-slime mixtures.

본 연구는 해안점토 또는 육상의 사질토에 지반개량재를 혼합하였을 때 어떤 강도변화를 보이는지에 관한 것이다. 철광석을 제련할 때 부산물인 슬래그와 제지류 소각할 때 생기는 paper fly ash를 일정한 비율로 혼합하여 지반개량재를 만들었다. 이러한 지반개량재를 해안점토와 육상의 사질토에 혼합한 후 함수비, 양생일, 혼합비 등으로 구분하여 일축압축강도 시험용 공시체를 제작하였다. 공시체가 28일간 양생되는 동안 일축압축강도의 변화와 생성물질의 변화를 분석하였다. 강도분석 결과 육상의 사질토보다 해안점토에서 최대 11배 정도의 강도증가의 효과가 나타났는데, 이는 지반개량재로 인한 ettringite 반응이 사질토보다 해안점토에서 명확하게 보여주는 것을 의미한다.

암석이나 콘크리트와 같은 취성재료의 경우에는 역학적 강도의 하중속도 의존성을 보임에 따라 발파 및 충격해석에 있어 이를 반영코자 하는 노력이 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 암석의 동적강도의 경우에는 순간적으로 높은 하중이 작용하는 동적하중의 가압특성에 따라 시험편 내의 응력평형상태를 고려한 평가가 수행되어야함이 제안된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 스플릿 홉킨슨 압력봉 장비를 이용한 포천 화강암의 동적일축압축강도 실험을 통해 응력평형조건의 충족 유무에 따른 암석의 동적파괴과정 및 역학적 강도특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 연구결과 적절한 응력평형상태가 이루어지진 않은 상태에서 평가된 암석의 동적일축압축강도는 상대적으로 과소평가되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 하중의 가압면에서 발생하는 조기파괴에 따른 에너지 파괴에너지 손실 및 변형률속도 과대평가에 의한 것으로 판단되었다. 결론적으로 합리적인 동적강도 평가를 위해서는 암석의 변형거동특성에 대한 분석 및 파괴패턴에 대한 검토를 통한 응력평형조건의 세밀한 검증이 수반되어야 할 것으로 판단하였다.
