토질분류법에서 흙은 크게 사질토와 점성토로 분류되며, 실제 설계에서도 이와 같이 분류된 흙 종류에 따라 다른 예측식을 사용하여 흙의 거동을 평가하고 있다. 그러나, 모래-세립분 혼합토는 전형적으로 중간토(intermediate soil or transitional soil)로 구분되어 모래와 점토의 중간적인 성질을 나타내기 때문에, 이러한 혼합토에 대한 거동특성을 평가할 수 있는 기준이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 입도분포를 조정한 특정 모래에 세 가지 종류의 세립분으로 구성된 다양한 세립분함유율을 갖는 시료를 대상으로 일련의 반복 삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 모래가 골격을 이루는 간극비(골격간극비)를 고려하여, Silica sand와 세립분(Iwakuni natural clay, Tottori silt, kaolinite)을 다양한 건조 중량비로 혼합하여 그 특성을 파악하였으며, 실험결과로 전환 세립분함유율(threshold fines content)을 넘지 않는 혼합토의 반복전단강도를 세립분 함유율 증가에 따라 평가하였다. 그 결과, 반복 전단응력비는 세립분 함유율 증가에 따라 조밀한 시료에서는 감소, 느슨한 시료에서는 증가하는 결과를 나타냈으며, 혼합토의 반복전단응력비를 등가골격간극비의 개념을 이용하여 평가했다.

One of the most important factors that should be considered for using any ground improvement technique is the stability of stabilized soil and the durability of the provided solution for getting the required engineering properties. Generally, most of the earth structures that are constructed on clayey soils are exposing movements due to the long periods of drying or wetting cycles. Over time, environmental changes may result in swells or settlements for these structures. In order to mitigate this problem, this research has been performed on mixtures of high plasticity clay with traditional additives such as lime, cement and non-traditional additives such as polypropylene fiber. The purpose of the research is to assess the most appropriate ground improvement technique by using commercially available additives for resisting the developed desiccation cracks during the drying process and resisting the volume changes that may result during wet/dry cycles as an attempt to simulate the changes of environmental conditions. The results show that the fiber-reinforced samples have the lowest volumetric deformation in comparision with cement and lime stabilized samples, and the optimum fiber content is identified as 0.38%. In addition, the desiccation cracks were not visible on the samples' surface for both unreinforced and chemically stabilized samples. Regarding cracks resistance resulting from the desiccation process, it is observed, that the resistance is connected with the fiber content and increases with the increase of the fiber inclusion, and the optimum content is between 1% and 1.5%.

본 연구에서는 점토질 지반의 강도를 증진시키기 위해, 일련의 동전기 현상을 이용한 주입 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 실내 Bench scale 실험을 실시하여 적용성을 파악하였다. 또한 확산의 영향에 의한 지반개량효과를 파악하기 위해 실험 종료 후 5일 간격으로 25일 동안 데인 실험을 실시하여 강도증진효과를 파악하였으며, 처리기간에 따른 영향을 고려하기 위해 5일 간격(5, 10, 15, 20, 25)으로 처리기간을 설정한 후 동전기 주입 실험을 실시하였다. 주입제 종류에 따른 실험결과, 초기 강도치와 비교하여 약 $2\sim7$배 정도의 강도증진효과가 발생하였으며, 특히 양극에 규산나트륨을 주입하고 음극에 인산을 주입한 경우 약 7배 정도의 강도증진효과가 발생하였다. 또한 확산과 함수비 감소에 따른 강도값을 분석해본 결과 시간경과에 따라 강도 값이 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 양상을 띠었으며, 함수비 감소에 의한 강도 증가치 보다 동전기 주입과 확산에 의한 영향으로 발생되는 강도증가치가 약 $700\sim1000%$ 높게 나타났다. 처리기간에 따른 실험결과, 처리기간이 증가함에 따라 동전기 주입에 의한 강도증진효과가 크게 나타났으며, 함수비 감소에 의한 강도증가치보다 대략 $3\sim4$배 정도 높게 나타남을 파악할 수 있었다.

Shallow failures occur frequently in both engineered and natural slopes in expansive soils. Rainfall infiltration is the most predominant triggering factor that contributes to slope failures in both expansive soils and clayey soils. However, slope failures in expansive soils have some distinct characteristics in comparison to slopes in conventional clayey soils. They typically undergo shallow failures with gentle sliding retrogression characteristics. The shallow sliding mass near the slope surface is typically in a state of unsaturated condition and will exhibit significant volume changes with increasing water content during rainfall periods. Many other properties or characteristics change such as the shear strength, matric suction including stress distribution change with respect to depth and time. All these parameters have a significant contribution to the expansive soil slopes instability and are difficult to take into consideration in slope stability analysis using traditional slope stability analysis methods based on principles of saturated soil mechanics. In this paper, commercial software VADOSE/W that can account for climatic factors is used to predict variation of matric suction with respect to time for an expansive soil cut slope in China, which is reported in the literature. The variation of factor of safety with respect to time for this slope is computed using SLOPE/W by taking account of shear strength reduction associated with loss of matric suction extending state-of-the art understanding of the mechanics of unsaturated soils.

Unsaturated soil at high suctions is widespread. Many civil engineering projects are related to the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils at high suctions, particularly in arid and semiarid areas. To investigate water retention behaviors of nine clayey soils (one is classified as fat clay and the others are classified as lean clay according to the unified soil classification system), the high suction (3.29-286.7 MPa) was imposed on the specimens at zero net stress by the vapor equilibrium technique. In this paper, the effect of void ratio on the water retention behavior at high suction was discussed in detail. Validation data showed that soil types, i.e., different mineralogical compositions, are critical in the soil water retention behavior at a high suction range. Second, the hysteresis behavior at a high suction range is mainly related to the clay content and the specific surface area. And the mechanism of water retention and hysteresis behavior at high suctions was discussed. Moreover, the maximum suction is not a unique value, and it is crucial to determine the maximum suction value accurately, especially for the shear strength prediction at high suctions. If the soil consists of hydrophilic minerals such as montmorillonite and illite, the maximum suction will be lower than 10⁶ kPa. Finally, using the area of hysteresis to quantify the degree of hysteresis at a high suction range is proposed. There was a good correlation between the area of hydraulic hysteresis and the specific surface area.

Some experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of freezing and thawing on the strength and strain characteristics of alluvial silty clay under the different temperatures, loading and moisture conditions. The results were as follows; 1. The soil used was proved to be consisted of silty clay with honey-combed structure, and showed higher dilatancy, frost activity and lower stability in natural state. 2. Soil treated with freezing and thawing cycles showed lower compressive strength compared with the non treated, The strength decreased with incement of freezing and thawing cycles. It's shapes of stress-strain curves were flat and did not formulate a peak while the peak strength of higher moisture content soil decreased with the increment of moisture content. It's decrement ratio was most distinctly shown at the first one cycle of freezing and thawing. 3. The cohesion decreased due to freezing and thawing cycles but internal frcition angle was not changed. 4. The liquid limit decreased with increment of freezing and thawing cycles, and became almost constant after three cycles of freezing and thawing. 5. The strength under simple loading at failure mode was appeared to be higher compared with the cyclic loading after freezing and thawing but initial moisture content effect was not observed. 6. Ice lense was not observed within 50% of ice content ratio but observed over 100%. The higher the ice content ratio, the higher the peak strength. As a matter of fact, it seems that an optimum ice content ratio exists for plastic mode and the least compressive strength.

The single regression method was used to analyze the correlationship between the compression index with mechanical properties for reclaimed marine clays in the southern coast of Korea. As results of performing regression analysis for 200 samples about reclaimed marine clays in the southern coast of Korea, linear regression lines between compression index and natural water content, void ratio in situ, and liquid limit respectively wer obtained. The changed properties of soil due to disturbance during dredging and reclaiming could be investigated by comparing with the existing empirical correlation equations for the original ground where dredging was performed. These regression equations might be rationally used in the preliminary evaluation of settlement of dredged and reclaimed marine clayey ground in the southern coast of Korea.

This study was performed to provide basic data for development and construction of reinforced soil wall that mixed with reinforcements such as calcium carbonate, monofilament fiber. In order to determine proper moisture content and mixing ratio by weight of reinforcement, Poisson's ratio and compressive strength tests for sandy soil had been conducted. Model tests for long-term behavior of reinforced soil wall were carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement during loads and under static loads. The results of creep and model tests for sandy soil compared with clayey soil. Reinforced sandy soil mixed with calcium carbonate and cement showed brittle rupture by shear but that of mixed with monofilament fiber showed ductile rupture due to the tension force of fiber. It was shown that when age increased, creep strain of reinforced soil under sustained load approached constant values.
