The standard penetration test (SPT) obtaining the N value of the number of blows has been widely used in various subsurface conditions, including in weathered soil and rock on fresh bedrock, in geotechnical studies pertaining to the design of foundations and earth structures. This study examined the applicability of SPTs terminated conventionally after 50 blows for a penetration of less than 30 cm, particularly in weathered strata, at four sites in Korea. The N values obtained during practical SPTs are typically extrapolated linearly at 30 cm penetration, despite the possibility of a nonlinear relationship between blow counts and penetration. Such nonlinearity in weathered strata has been verified by performing special SPTs ensuring 30 cm penetration. To quantify the nonlinearity in dense strata, we conducted statistical regression analyses comparing the differences (DN) between the N values measured by the special SPTs and those extrapolated using the practical approach with the differences (DP) between the 30 cm penetration and the penetration during 50 blows. Bi-linear relationship models between DN and DP were subsequently proposed for determining the N values at 30 cm penetration in weathered strata. The N values reflecting nonlinearity could be determined from the linearly extrapolated N values by adding a modeled DN value.

Wave equation analysis programs (WEAP) such as GRLWEAP and TNOWave were primarily developed for pre-driving analysis. They can also be used for post-driving measurement applications with some refinements. In the case of pre-driving analysis, the programs are used for the purpose of selecting the right equipment for a given ground condition and controlling stresses during pile driving processes. Recently, the program is increasingly used for the post-driving measurement application, where an assessment based on a variety of input parameters such as hammer, driving system and dynamic behaviour of soil is carried out. The process of this type of analysis is quite simple and it is performed by matching accurately known parameters, such as from CAPWAP analysis, to the parameters used in GRLWEAP analysis. The parameters that are refined in the typical analysis are pile stresses, hammer energy, capacity, damping and quakes. Matching of these known quantities by adjusting hammer, cushion and soil parameters in the wave equation program results in blow counts or sets and stresses for other hammer energies and capacities and cushion configuration. The result of this analysis is output on a Bearing Graph that establishes a relationship between ultimate capacity and net set per blow. A further application of this refinement method can be applied to the assessment of dynamic formulae, which are extensively used in pile capacity calculation during pile driving process. In this paper, WEAP analysis is carried out to establish the relationship between the ultimate capacities and sets using the various parameters and using this relationship to recalibrate the dynamic formula. The results of this analysis presented show that some of the shortcoming of the dynamic formula can be overcome and the results can be improved by the introduction of a correction factor.

공내재하시험은 고무 튜브를 보링공에 넣어 압축을 가함으로써 압력과 변형관계 곡선을 얻을 수 있는데 지반교란이 해석 결과에 큰 영향을 미친다. 공내재하시험의 지배방정식은 공동확장이론과 쌍곡선 형태의 흙모델을 기본으로 이론적으로 유도할 수 있으며 이렇게 유도된 식과 곡선 보정기법을 적용시키면 지반교란이 없는 상태의 응력-변형 곡선을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 해석 방법은 재하단계에 적용할 수 있으며 국내의 화강풍화토의 공내재하시험 결과에 적용하여 초기전 단계수를 구하였다. 이렇게 구한 초기전단계수값을 표준관입시험 결과와 비교 분석하여 초기전 단계수값과 표준관입시험의 상관관계를 구하였다.

The airborne concentrations of the welding fumes produced during $CO_2$ arcwelding process at shipbuilding, shiprepairing, container manufacturing and car accessary manufacturing industry were investigated. The effects how much reduced the welding fume were checked when the portable fan was used. The results were as follows; 1.The geometric mean of welding fume concentration in shipbuilding factory was $10.05mg/m^3$. This exposure concentration was higher than other 3 manufacturing industries at 95% confidence level. 2. The sampling filters for welding fume could be digested with acid within 1 hour by microwave oven. The recoveries for investigated metal elements were all over 95%. 3. The optimal wavelength could be selected for the simultaneous analysis of 8 metal elements by ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma). 4. Noxious gases($O_1,NO_2$) produced during $CO_1$ gas arc welding process were detected that the concentration of ozone($O_1$) was less than 0.01 ppm and that of nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) was 0.01-0.03 ppm. 5. The geometric mean of welding fume particle diameter was $1.26{\mu}m$ and geometric standard deviation was 1.51 for the counts when particle an analyzer(ELZONE) had been used. 6. When the portable fan had been used,the reduced percent of total welding fume for workers was about 47.8% when portable fan was applied to blow and 71.7% when to exhaust.

제체 재료의 다짐 불량에 의한 내부 침식은 국내 제방의 주요 붕괴 원인으로, 제방의 안전진단에 있어서 제체의 다짐 상태 평가는 매우 중요한 점검 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 제체의 다짐상태 평가 시 동적 콘 관입시험의 현장 적용성을 검증하기 위해 대표적인 다짐평가 기법인 평판재하시험에 대해 상관관계를 분석하였다. 시험 부지의 지반 특성 및 토층 심도를 파악하기 위해 표준관입시험을 6회 수행하였다. 평판재하시험 15회, 동적 콘 관입시험 47회 수행 후 크리깅(Kriging) 기법으로 공간분포를 얻었다. 평판재하시험의 공간분포와 일정 관입깊이에서의 동적 콘 관입시험 공간분포 간의 피어슨 상관 계수를 계산하였다. 평판재하시험의 지지력과 관입 깊이 5cm, 10cm, 15cm에서의 동적 콘 관입시험의 타격횟수는 약한 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

다양한 탄성파 시험으로부터 획득할 수 있는 전단파속도($V_S$)는 주로 지진공학 분야에서의 내진 설계 및 내진 성능 평가를 위한 대표적 지반 동적 특성으로 강조되어 왔다. 일반적인 지반공학적 부지 조사 기법의 지반지진공학적 활용을 목적으로, 표준관입 시험(SPT)과 피에조콘관입시험(CPTu)을 국내 여러 부지들을 대상으로 다양한 시추공 탄성파시험과 함께 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 현장시험 자료들의 통계학적 모델링을 통해 전단파속도와 표준관입시험의 타격수(N 값)및 선단저항력($q_t$), 주면마찰력($f_s$)과 간극수압계수($B_q$)로 구성되는 피에조콘관입 자료 간의 상관관계를 도출하고 전단파속도 결정을 위한 경험적 방법으로 제안하였다. 비록 일반적인 지반공학적 관입시험과 시추공 탄성파시험의 대상 변형률 수준이 상이하다 할지라도, 본 연구에서 제안된 상관관계들은 국내 토사 지층의 예비적 전단파속도 산정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
