The study was carried out for the strength parameter of coarse grained Soil and slope stability analysis of earth dam. The test samples were taken fifteen kinds of soil from cohesive soil to coarse gravel. The degree of compaction of test samples for shear test and permeability test was chosen 95 percentage of maximum dry density. The results of this study are as follows ; 1.The maximum dry density(Yd) of coarse grained soil increase in proportion to coarse particles(P) with the relation of Y d= 1.609+0.0043P. 2.The coefficients of permeability(k) decrease by the increase of fine particles(n) with the relation of k=0.0426e-0 185n. 3.The cohesions of soil decrease by the increase of coarse particles, but internal friction angles are more increased in same condition. 4.The internal friction angles(${\Phi}$) decrease in inverse proportion to void ratio(e) with the relation of ${\Phi}$ = 73.068 - 69.268e. 5.The strength parameters( Ct ${\Phi}$t) by triaxial compression test are clearly smaller than that (Cd, ${\Phi}$d) by direct shear test in fine grained soil, but the differences between both parameters are a little in coarse grained soil.The relations of both parameters are as follows; Ct = O.544Cd + 0.04 ${\Phi}$t= 1.282${\Phi}$d-2306 6.In cohesive soil, the strength parameters( Cl ${\Phi}$l) by large size shear test apparatus are similar to the strength parameters(Cs , ${\Phi}$s) by small size shear test appratus, but Cs and ${\Phi}$s values are larger than Cl and ${\Phi}$l values from 10 percentage to 20 percentage in coarse grained soil. 7.The fine grained soil is inappropriate to high dam more than 20 meters and it must be taken coarse grained soil with high internal friction angle for high dam.

Bio-grouting based on microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is recently emerging as a novel and environmentally friendly technique for improvement of coarse-grained ground. To date, the mechanical behaviour of bio-grouted coarse-grained soil with different calcite contents and grain sizes still remains poorly understood. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of calcite content on the mechanical properties of bio-grouted coarse-grained soil with different grain sizes. This is achieved through an integrated study of uniaxial loading experiments of bio-grouted coarse-grained soil, 3D digitization of the grains in conjunction with discrete element modelling (DEM). In the DEM model, aggregates were represented by clump logic based on the 3D morphology digitization of the typical coarse-grained aggregates while the CaCO₃ was represented by small-sized bonded particle model. The computed stress-strain relations and failure patterns of the bio-grouted coarse-grained soil were validated against the measured results. Both experimental and numerical investigation suggest that aggregate sizes and calcite content significantly influence the mechanical behaviour of bio-cemented aggregates. The strength of the bio-grouted coarse-grained soil increases linearly with calcite content, but decreases non-linearly with the increasing particle size for all calcite contents. The experimental-based DEM approach developed in this study also offers an optional avenue for the exploring of micro-mechanisms contributing to the mechanical response of bio-grouted coarse-grained soils.

석조문화재 주변의 환경적인 요인은 다양한 형태의 손상을 불러일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 여러 환경 요인 중에서 지면에 조성된 조립사질 토양이 석조문화재의 손상에 끼치는 영향을 불국사 다보탑을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 복잡한 구조를 지닌 불국사다보탑의 주변 지면에는 조립사질토양이 조성되어 있고, 주변은 회랑으로 둘러싸여 있다. 경주의 거센 바람과 수많은 관람객으로 인하여 지면의 토양이 부유되어 복잡한 석탑의 부재 사이에 침착되고 있다. 조립사질토양이 석탑의 손상에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 조립사질 토양과 석탑 주변에 떨어진 풍화편을 채취하여 X-선 회절분석, 편광현미경 및 전자현미경으로 광물조성과 조직을 관찰하였으며, IC와 ICP-AES를 이용하여 수용성 염성분을 분석하였다. 조립사질토양과 풍화편에서는 스멕타이트 뿐만 아니라, 일라이트, 카올리나이트가 검출되었는데, 이들은 수분과 접촉시 팽창을 하여 암석에 압력을 가중시킨다. 풍화편과 조립사질 토양에서는 또한 NaCl 염이 검출되었는데, 이 염은 점토광물에 나트륨이온을 제공하여서, 또는 상대습도 평형을 떨어뜨려서 점토광물의 팽창을 증진시킨다. 분석결과는 조립사질토양이 풍화된 석조문화재의 사이트환경으로는 적절치 못함을 보여준다.

Plastic wastes, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) generated from used bottled water constitute a worldwide environmental issue. Reusing the PET waste for geotechnical applications not only reduces environmental burdens of handling the waste, but also improves inherent engineering properties of soil. This paper investigated factors affecting shear strength improvement of PET-mixed residual soil. Four variables were considered: (i) plastic content; (ii) plastic slenderness ratio; (iii) plastic size; and (iv) soil particle size. A series of unconfined compression tests were performed to determine the optimum configurations for promoting the shear strength improvement. The results showed that the optimum slenderness ratio and PET content for shear strength improvement were 1:3 and 1.5%, respectively. Large PET pieces (i.e., $1.0cm^2$) were favorable for fine-grained residual soil, while small PET pieces (i.e., $0.5cm^2$) were favorable for coarse-grained residual soil. Higher shear strength improvement was obtained for PET-mixed coarse-grained residual soil (148%) than fine-grained residual soils (117%). The orientation of plastic pieces in soil and frictional resistance developed between soil particles and PET surface are two important factors affecting the shear strength performance of PET-mixed soil.

본 연구에서는 전단특성 및 유변학적 정수를 모두 산정할 수 있는 직접전단실험 장비를 이용하여 조립토와 세립토에 대하여 전단강도 및 유변학적 특성에 대한 입도분포의 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 최대입경 0.075mm의 세립토와 최대입경이 0.425mm이고, 세립분 함량이 17%인 조립토를 건조상태와 액성한계상태로 조성하여, 산사태 분류기준에 따라 재활성 산사태(reactivated landslide) 혹은 붕괴직후 토석류 속도에 해당하는 전단속도에 대하여 전단강도를 산정하였다. 또한, 유변학적 특성 평가를 위해 액성한계상태로 조성된 조립토와 세립토에 대하여 서로 다른 세 가지의 전단변형률속도로 반복적으로 전단하며 잔류전단강도를 측정하였다. 측정된 잔류전단강도와 전단변형률속도와의 관계를 통해 빙햄모델의 소성 점도와 항복응력을 산정하였다. 건조 및 액성한계상태에서 조성된 시료에 대하여 첨두전단강도에서 산정한 점착력의 경우, 세립토에서 조립토보다 더 크게 산정되었으며, 내부마찰각은 조립토에서 더 크게 산정되었다. 유변학 정수의 경우, 소성 점도와 항복응력이 조립토보다 세립토에서 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 재활성 산사태 혹은 붕괴직후 토석류의 거동예측에 효과적으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

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.

In the design of geotechnical structures, engineers choose either peak or critical state friction angles. Unfortunately, this selection is based on engineer's preference for economy or safety and lacks the assessment of the expected level of deformation. To fill this gap in the design process, this study proposes a strain based empirical method. Proposed method is founded on the experimentally supported assumption that higher dilatancy angles result in more brittle soil response. Using numerous triaxial test data on ten different soils, an empirical design chart is developed that allows the estimation of shear strain at failure based on soil's peak dilatancy angle and mean grain diameter. Developed empirical chart is verified by conducting a small scale retaining wall physical model test. Finally, a design methodology is proposed that makes the selection of design friction angle in structured way possible based on the serviceability limits of the proposed structure.

본 연구에서는 압밀 배수를 촉진하기 위한 공법에서 사용되는 조립토나 골재로의 세립토 관입 정도를 다양한 조건에서 실험을 통해 확인하여 세립토의 조립토나 골재로의 관입특성을 규명하였다. 지중응력에 대응하는 압력의 크기나 세립토 함수비의 변화에 상관없이 해성점토가 해사나 표준사로는 관입되지 않아 모래 배수/말뚝 체에서의 배수저항 현상은 전혀 발생하지 않은 것으로 확인되었고, 오히려 물다짐에 의한 모래 배수/말뚝 체의 전단강도가 크게 증대한 것으로 보인다. 골재의 경우에는 골재의 입경이 클수록 해성점토의 관입깊이는 증대하고, 같은 골재라도 압력이나 함수비가 클수록 해성점토의 관입깊이는 증대함을 알 수 있었으며, 액성한계보다 작은 함수비를 갖는 해성점토는 입자가 작은 편인 13mm 골재로의 관입깊이가 현저하게 줄어들어 그 관입깊이가 상당히 적다 하더라도 일단 관입된 세립토에 의해 배수/말뚝 체에서의 배수저항 현상이 발생할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 자연함수비가 액성한계보다 큰 매우 연약한 세립토층에서는 모래보다 큰 입경을 갖는 쇄석이나 자갈 등 골재를 사용하는 gravel drain 공법 및 gravel compaction pile 공법 등의 적용을 지양해야 하고, 자연함수비가 액성한계보다 작은 연약한 세립토 지반에서도 gravel drain 공법 및 gravel compaction pile 공법 등과 같은 연직배수공법을 적용할 경우 그 효용성은 크게 저하할 것으로 사료된다.

The seismic holding behaviors of plate anchor embedded into submerged coarse-grained soils were investigated considering different anchor inclinations. The limit equilibrium method and the Pseudo-Dynamic Approach (PDA) were employed to calculate the inertia force of the soils within the failure rupture. In addition, assuming the permeability of coarse-grained soils was sufficiently large, the coefficient of hydrodynamic force applied on the inclined plate anchor is obtained through adopting the exact potential flow theory. Therefore, the seismic holding resistance was calculated as the combination of the inertia force and the hydrodynamic force within the failure rupture. The failure rupture can be developed due to the uplift loads, which was assumed to be an arc of a circle perpendicular to the anchor and inclines at (π/4 - φ/2). Then, the derived analytical solutions were evaluated by comparing the static breakout factor N_γ to the published experimental and analytical results. The influences of soil and wave properties on the plate anchor holding behavior are reported. Finally, the dynamic anchor holding coefficients N_γd, were reported to illustrate the anchor holding behaviors. Results show that the soil accelerations in x and z directions were both nonlinear. The amplifications of soil accelerations were more severe at lower normalized frequencies (ωH/V) compared to higher normalized frequencies. The coefficient of hydrodynamic force, C, of the plate anchor was found to be almost constant with anchor inclinations. Finally, the seismic anchor holding coefficient oscillated with the oscillation of the inertia force on the plate anchor.
