In an open-pool type research reactor with a downward forced flow in the core, pipes can be under sub-atmospheric pressure because of the large pressure drop at the reactor core in the atmospheric pool. Sub-atmospheric pressure can result in air inflow into the pipe from the pressure difference between the atmosphere and the inside of the pipe, which in a postulated pipe break scenario can lead to the breakdown of the cooling pump. In this study, a plant-scale experiment was conducted to study air inflow in large piping systems by considering the actual operational conditions of an advanced research reactor. The air inflow rate was measured, and the entrained air was visualized to investigate the behavior of air inflow and flow regime depending on the pipe break size. In addition, the developed drift-flux model for a large vertical pipe with a diameter of 600 mm was compared with other correlations. The flow regime transition in a large vertical pipe under downward flow was also studied using the newly developed drift-flux model. Consequently, the characteristics of two-phase flow in a large vertical pipe were found to differ from those in small vertical pipes where liquid recirculation was not dominant.

In this Paper, to calculate vertical earth pressure affected from several factors in case of rigid buried pipe with cohesionless backfill soil. The result from PENTAGON 3D is compared with several equation's result such as the Janssen, Marston, Spangler, Handy's equation. Result of study shows that vertical earth pressure of each equation is affected by backfill width, backfill depth and wall friction. And vertical earth pressure is linearly increased with backfill depth and backfill width. Marston's equation and Handy's equation are overestimated and FEM(Finite Element method) analysis and Janssen's Silo equation are affected by more backfill depth than backfill width.

This paper reviews depositional environments of marine deposits along the Nakdong river and then analytical solution of self-weight consolidation considering artesian pressure is made to find consolidated state. It's known that this area is in the under-consolidated state by the artesian pressure(u$\_$a/=0.3kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and the distribution of the artesian pressure is not linear but parabola. In predicting consolidation settlement for soft grounds improved by vertical drain, it is emphasized that the self-consolidation by sudden dissipation of artesian pressure should be considered.

본 연구에서는 조밀하게 조성된 되메움 지반에서 강성매설관에 작용하는 연직토압에 대하여 Janssen, Marston, Spangler, Handy 이론식과 수치해석 프로그램인 CANDE를 통해 되메움 공간의 저부폭과 되메움 깊이에 대한 영향, 벽면마찰각, 기타 다른 영향인자들에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 각 이론식들의 비교 점분석결과, 되메움 지반에서의 연직토압에 대한 이론식들은 되메움 저부폭, 매설깊이, 벽면내부마찰각이 주요영향인자로 작용하게 되었다. 또한 CANDE에 의한 해석 결과와 각 이론식들을 비교 분석하면, 동일한 되메움 깊이에서 되메움 저부폭에 따른 연직토압의 크기는 모든 결과에서 동일하게 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 일정한 되메움 저부폭에서 연직토압의 크기는 매설관의 깊이에 따라 증가하였다. CANDE에 의한 해석 결과와 Handy의 제안식이 좋은 접근성을 보였으며, 각종 매설관 및 박스형 구조물의 토압산정에 널리 사용되는 Marston이론은 설계시 상당히 안전측으로 설계되고 있었다.

원형수직터널에서 3차원적인 아칭효과를 고려한 토압산정을 위해 여러 연구가 수행되었고 실내시험 및 수치해석을 통해 이를 검증하였으나, 다층지반과 c-${\phi}$지반에서의 적용이 어려웠다. 본연구에서는 c-${\phi}$지반에서의 토압 산정을 위해 c-${\phi}$지반에서 적용 가능한 토압계수 산정식을 구하였으며, 기존 토압식을 수정 제안하였다. 점착력이 토압에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 지반을 가정하여 각 경우별로 토압을 산정하여 비교하였으며, 다층지반에서 파괴면을 가정하는 방법으로 토압을 구하였다. 이 논문은 두 개의 연속된 논문(Companion paper)의 첫 번째로서 모델개발을 위한 이론전개를 다루고 있으며, 대형 모형실험에 의한 실증은 두 번째 논문에서 다룰 것이다.

The construction of underground structures such as power supply lines, communication lines, utility tunnels has significantly increased worldwide for improving urban aesthetics ensuring citizen safety, and efficient use of underground space. Those underground structures are usually constructed along with vertical cylindrical shafts to facilitate their construction and maintenance. When constructing a vertical shaft through the open-cut method, the walls are mostly designed to be flexible, allowing a certain level of displacement. The earth pressure applied to the flexible walls acts as an external force and its accurate estimation is essential for reasonable and economical structure design. The earth pressure applied to the flexible wall is closely interrelated to the displacement of the surrounding ground. This study simulated stepwise excavation for constructing a cylindrical vertical shaft through a centrifugal model experiment. One quadrant of the axisymmetric vertical shaft and the ground were modeled, and ground excavation was simulated by shrinking the vertical shaft. The deformation occurring on the entire ground during the excavation was continuously evaluated through digital image analysis. The digital image analysis evaluated complex ground deformation which varied with wall displacement, distance from the wall, and ground depth. When the ground deformation data accumulate through the method used in this study, they can be used for developing shaft wall models in future for analyzing the earth pressure acting on them.

A new earth pressure equation considering the arching effect in $c-{\phi}$ soils was proposed for the accurate calculation of earth pressure on circular vertical shafts. The arching effect and the subsequent load recovery phenomenon occurring due to multi-step excavation were quantitatively investigated through laboratory tests. The new earth pressure equation was verified by comparing the test results with the earth pressures predicted by new equation in various soil conditions. Resulting from testing by using multi-step excavation, the arching effect and load recovery were clearly observed. The test results in $c-{\phi}$ soil showed that even a small amount of cohesion can cause the earth pressure to decrease significantly. Therefore, predicting earth pressure without considering such cohesion can lead to overestimation of earth pressure. The test results in various ground conditions demonstrated that the newly proposed equation, which enables consideration of cohesion as appropriate, is the most reliable equation for predicting earth pressure in both ${\phi}$ soil and $c-{\phi}$ soil. The comparison of the theoretical equations with the field data measured on a real construction site also highlighted the best-fitness of the theoretical equation in predicting earth pressure.

원형수직터널의 시공시 지하수가 존재하는 경우 굴착에 의해 지하수의 흐름이 발생되어 추가적인 힘이 작용하게 된다. 원형수직터널의 지하수의 흐름은 일반적인 수평터널과 달리 깊이방향으로 다르게 작용되며, 수직터널의 벽체에 경사방향으로 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 원형수직터널에 작용하는 침투력의 영향을 파악하기 위해 깊이에 따라 변하는 경사방향의 흐름성분을 수직과 수평방향으로 나누어 각각을 이론식에 적용하였다. 지하수가 영향을 미치는 범위는 토압을 야기하는 이완영역과 같은 것으로 가정하여 이론식을 유도하였다. 침투력에 의해 발생되는 추가적인 힘으로 인하여 원형수직터널의 이완영역에 작용되는 응력이 달라짐에 따라 침투력을 고려한 토압계수 산정식과 원형수직터널 벽체에 작용하는 응력 산정식을 본 연구를 통해 제안하였다. 가상지반을 설정하고 제안식을 적용한 결과, 침투를 고려하지 않은 건조한 지반에 비하여 수직방향응력은 약 1.4배, 토압은 2.5배 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 침투해석을 통하여 "유효응력+침투력"으로 구한 값과 제안식을 이용하여 산정한 값은 유사한 경향을 보여 제안식은 침투력을 적절히 고려하여 토압을 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a laboratory model test on utilization of recycled aggregates and crushed stone as vertical drains to use alternative material of sand in soft ground is performed. The vertical and horizontal coefficient of permeability of the recycled aggregates and crushed stone showed largely 1.2~4.0 times and 3.0~3.3 times greater than sand, respectively. Therefore, it showed enough to be an alternative material to the sand which had been being used as the vertical and horizontal drainage material before. The variations of pore water pressure with time showed constantly regardless of the load in all vertical drainage materials. When water level drops suddenly, the pore water pressure of the recycled aggregate and crushed aggregate is reduced to nearly zero. Therefore, it was applicable to the field because discharge capacity was similarity to that of sand. The settlement in crushed aggregates and recycled aggregate decreases gradually with the load increase. When water level drops suddenly, earth pressure in all drains materials was evaluated the equivalent drainage capacity similarity to sand because it show approaching the nearly zero.
