필댐의 안정성은 댐 축조시 주재료로 활용되는 조립재료인 암석존(rock zone)의 공학적 거동에 의존하므로 조립재료인 rockfill 재료의 전단강도 뿐만 아니라 하중-변형 특성(stress-strain characteristics)을 보다 정확히 이해하여야 한다. 또한, 댐 제체의 거동을 예측하고 수치해석적으로 분석하기 위해서는 조립재료의 거동을 모사하기에 적합한 구성모델을 활용하기 위한 물성값 분석 및 모델 파라미터의 캘리브레이션 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 부항댐 제체 재료에 대한 대형삼축압축 실험결과를 분석하고 이를 기반으로 조립재료에 대한 구성모델 파라미터들을 분석하였다. 부항댐 제체 재료를 고밀도와 저밀도로 구분하여 시료를 제작하고 다양한 구속압으로 수행된 실험결과와 캘리브레이션 된 구성모델 시물레이션 결과를 상호 비교한 결과 MD 모델이 조립재료의 응력-변형률 거동을 효과적으로 모사할 수 있음을 파악하였다.

자연상태의 흙은 다양한 크기의 입자로 구성되어 있으며, 이 흙의 역학적 거동 중 전단거동은 입도 분포에 크게 영향을 받는다. 그리고 자연상태의 흙은 조립토와 세립토가 다양하게 혼합되어 존재하기 때문에 그 역학적 성질인 전단특성을 명확히 파악하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 흙의 입도 분포가 흙의 전단특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위한 목적으로 조립토는 모래를 세립토는 실트를 이용해 모래에 대한 실트의 함유량을 변화시켜 입도 분포가 다른 사질토를 조성한 후 링 전단시험을 수행하였다. 그리고 물 공급 시 입도 분포가 다른 사질토의 전단특성 변화를 확인하기 위해 링 전단시험 중 물을 공급하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 실트 함유량이 증가할수록 전단강도는 점차 증가하다 실트 함유량이 모래보다 많아지면 전단강도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 수분 공급 시 실트 함유량에 따라 잔류전단강도는 완만한 경사를 나타내며 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The Segregation Potential (SP) is one of the most widely used predictors of frost heave in cold regions. Laboratory step-freezing tests determining a representative SP at the onset of the formation of the last ice lens (near the thermal steady state condition) can predict susceptibility to frost heave. Previous work has proposed empirical semi-log fitting for determination of the representative SP and applied it to several fine-grained soils, but considering only frost-susceptible soils. The presence of fines in coarse-grained soil affects frost susceptibility. Therefore, it is required to evaluate the applicability of the empirical semi-log fitting for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils with fines content. This paper reports laboratory frost heave tests for fines contents of 5%-70%. The frost susceptibility of soil mixtures composed of sand and silt was classified by the representative SP, and the suitability of the empirical semi-log fitting method was assessed. Combining semi-log fitting with simple laboratory frost heave testing using a temperature-controllable cell is shown to be suitable for both frost-susceptible and non-frost-susceptible soils. In addition, initially non-frost-susceptible soil became frost susceptible at a 10%-20% weight fraction of fines. This threshold fines content matched well with transitions in the engineering characteristics of both the unfrozen and frozen soil mixtures.

Bearing capacity of shallow foundations is often determined for either dry or saturated soils. In some occasions, foundations may be subjected to external loading which is inclined and/or eccentric. In this study, the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on partially saturated coarse-grained cohesionless and fine-grained cohesive soils subjected to a wide range of combined vertical (V) - horizontal (H) - moment (M) loadings is rigorously evaluated using the well-established limit equilibrium method. The unified effective stress approach as well as the suction stress concept is effectively adopted so as to simulate the behaviour of the underlying unsaturated soil medium. In order to obtain the bearing capacity, four equilibrium equations are solved by adopting Coulomb failure mechanism and Bishop effective stress concept and also considering a linear variation of the induced matric suction beneath the foundation. The general failure loci of the shallow foundations resting on unsaturated soils at different hydraulic conditions are presented in V - H - M spaces. The results indicate that the matric suction has a marked influence on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. In addition, the effect of induced suction on the ultimate bearing capacity of obliquely-loaded foundations is more pronounced than that of the eccentrically-loaded footings.

In this study, the effect of scour was evaluated by regional and geotechnical characteristics and back data were accumulate for the design against scour through the local erosion characteristics evaluation of the Inchon coast. The erosion characteristics for the undisturbed soil samples collected near the main locations at the Incheon 2nd bridge, the Hwangyeong bridge, and a coast road in Songdo, are determined quantitatively through the scour rate tests. On the basic soil properties test, the bed around the Inchon coast chiefly consists of fined grained soils, and the soil samples were classified as silty clay(ML) or clay(CL) under the Unified Soil Classification System. On the scour rate test, the critical shear stress increases when the undrained shear strength increases as of the general trend of fine grained soils, and the average scour rate for the maximum velocity by 100 year flood is 173mm/hr at the Incheon 2nd bridge, 67mm/hr at the Hwangyeong bridge and 10mm/hr at a coast road in Songdo, respectively. Comparing to the scour rate of coarse grained soil, that of the bed around the Inchon coast is turned out to be very low. Therefore, the relative ability of the bed around the Inchon coast to resist erosion is assumed to be very high.

In this study, coarse-grained geomaterials were mixed with cementing binder. To do that, typical soils from road construction sites were selected to assess the strength and stiffness characteristics of cemented geomaterials mixed with cement and recycled fly ash. Mechanistic evaluation on these samples was performed depending on the various binder contents. Increasing cementing content tend to increase the resilient modulus under repeated loadings and unconfined strength respectively. In addition, the toughness of cemented geomaterials was also estimated in order to check the ability to resisting fatigue failure.

Geosynthetic reinforced soil method in coarse-grained soils has been widely used in last decades. Two effective factors on soil-geosynthetic interaction are confining stresses and loading rate in clay. In terms of methodology, one pull-out test with four different strain rates, namely 0.75, 1.25, 1.75 and 2.25 mm/min, and three different normal stresses equal to 20, 50, and 80 kg have been performed on specimens with dimensions of 30×30×17 cm in the saturated, consolidated condition. The obtained results have demonstrated that activation of geosynthetic strength at contact surface depends on the applied stress. In addition, the increase in normal stress would increase the shear strength at contact surface between clay and geogrid. Moreover, it is concluded that the strain rate increment would increase the shear strength.

탄소성 구성방정식은 주로 미분방적식(rate equation)으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 유한요소법 등을 이용한 지반구조물 해석시 미분방정식들에 대한 수치적분을 수행할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 구조물의 거동을 해석할시 미분방정식들을 위한 적분방법은 해석결과의 정확성과 유한요소법 모델링의 안전성에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 개발되어 사용되고 있는 흙에 관한 구성모델인 "Two-surface soil plasticity model (Manzari and Dafalias 1997)"을 Implicit return-mapping 수치적분방법을 이용하여 실행하는 과정을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 수치적분방법은 Closest-Point-Projection Method(CPPM) 방법으로 탄성 예측자-소성 교정자(elastic predictor-plastic corrector) 개념을 Implicit Backward Euler방법으로 체계화 시킨 알고리듬이다. 본 연구에서 수행한 "Two-surface soil plasticity model"은 조립토의 비선형거동을 해석하며, Bounding surface 개념 및 비선형 등방경화와 이동경화법칙을 사용하는 모델이다. 본 연구는 CPPM 방법이 정확하고 안정되며 유용한 수치적분을 수행할 수 있는 알고리듬이라는 것을 제시한다. 또한, CPPM 알고리듬은 구성방정식의 해를 반복적으로 해석하는 동안 "Consistent tangent operator $d{\sigma}/d{\varepsilon}$"를 제공하므로, 비선형 유한요소 해석이 2차(quadratic convergence rate)의 수렴 조건을 만족하는데 기여한다는 것을 보여준다.

Freezing-thawing cycles have significant effect on soils engineering behavior in frozen areas. This effect is more considerable in fine-graded than coarse-grained soils. The objective of this study is improving soil durability and strength in continues freezing-thawing cycles. For getting this purpose mixture of Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) and Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (EGBE) has been added to fine-grained soil and final prepared samples were tested at different freezing-thawing cycles. PVAc was mixed with 1%, 2% and 3% of soil weight. Half of PVAc weight was used as weight of EGBE. Freezing-Thawing cycles were exposed to samples and they were tested at different cycles. Results showed that adding mixture of PVAc+EGBE improved strength and durability of samples up to 10 freezing-thawing cycles. Unconfined compress strength tests were applied to samples and stress and strain of samples were tested on failure time. Behavior of samples was different at different percentages of mixture. Results showed that increasing amount of PVAc from 1% to 2% had more considerable effect on final stress than 2% to 3%. Using higher percentages of PVAc + EGBE mixture leaded to that samples carried more strain before collapsing. Another result gained from tests was that, freezing-thawing effect was more considerable after fourth cycles. It means differences between first and fourth cycles were more considerable than differences between fourth and tenth.

지반공학에서 흙은 흙 입자에 의한 세립분 함유율($F_c$=50%)에 따라 모래와 점토로 분류되며, 그들의 역학적 거동에 의해 설계가 이루어진다. 그러나, 모래-점토 혼합토는 일반적으로 intermediate soils로 불리어, 모래나 점토로 쉽게 구분할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 비율을 갖는 실리카모래 세립혼합토에 대하여 정적비배수 전단시험을 수행하였고, 미리 계산된 에너지의 다짐방법과 예압밀법을 이용하여 모래부터 점토에 이르는 폭넓은 범위의 흙 구조에 대해 공시체를 준비하였다. 한계 세립함유율 보다 작은 혼합토의 전단강도는 세립분이 증가할수록 증가하며 최대 축차응력비는 조밀한 시료에 대하여 감소하고 느슨한 시료에 대하여 증가한다. 그 후, 골격간극비의 개념을 이용하여 혼합토의 단조 전단강도를 평가하였으며. 이에, 혼합토의 전단강도는 모래입자가 이루는 골격구조에 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알았다.
