Dam deformation should be strictly controlled for the construction of 300 m-high rockfill dams, so the rockfill materials need to have low porosity. A method of using composite grout is proposed to reduce the porosity of rockfill materials for the construction of high rockfill dams. The composite grout is a mixture of fly ash, cement and sand with the properties of easy flow and post-hardening. During the process of rolling compaction, the grout admixture sprinkled on the rockfill surface will gradually infiltrate into the inter-granular voids of rockfill by the exciting force of vibratory roller to reduce the porosity of rockfill. A visible flowing test was firstly designed to explore the flow characteristics of composite grout in porous media. Then, the compressibility, shear strength, permeability and suffusion susceptibility properties of composite grout-modified rockfill are studied by a series of laboratory tests. Experimental results show that the flow characteristics of composite grout are closely related to the fly ash content, the water-to-binder ratio, the maximum sand size and the content of composite grout. The filling of composite grout can effectively reduce the porosity of rockfill materials, as well as increase the compression modulus of rockfill materials, especially for loose and gap-graded rockfill materials. Composite grout-modified rockfill tends to have greater shear strength, larger suffusion erosion resistance, and smaller permeability coefficient. The composite grout mainly plays the roles of filling, lubrication and cementation in rockfill materials.

The installation of vertical drains by using a mandrel causes significant disturbance of the subsoil. Thus a smear zone may be developed with reduced permeability and increased compressibility. In this paper the extent of smear zone developing ground disturbance with the installation of mandrels are analysed by field smear zone test. The extent and the consolidation characteristics of smear zones around the mandrels is compared with the shape, the size of mandrel and penetration speed and is evaluated from the field smear test results.

Static characteristics of hemispherical aerodynamic bearing is studied theoretically. In this paper nonlinear equation of second order considering compressibility and slip effect of air is calculated by Newton-Raphson method. Results indicate that axial load capacity has maximum value when the inclination angle of groove is about 30$\circ$, the ratio of groove clearance to ridge clearance is two. We also present the design method of hemispherical Aerodynamic bearing based on it's load capacity taking into account manufacturing and assembling viewpoint.

The choice of eco-friendly materials for ground improvement is a necessary way forward for sustainable development. Adapting naturally available biopolymers will render the process of soil stabilization carbon neutral. An attempt has been made to use β-glucan, a natural biopolymer for the stabilization of lean clay as a sustainable alternative with specific emphasis on comprehending the effect of confining stresses on lean clay through triaxial compression tests. A sequence of laboratory experiments was performed to examine the various physical and mechanical characteristics of β-glucan treated soil (BGTS). Micro-analysis through micrographs were used to understand the strengthening mechanism. Results of the study show that the deviatoric stress of 2% BGTS is 12 times higher than untreated soil (UTS). The micrographs from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the results of the Nitrogen-based Brunauer Emmett Teller (N₂-BET) analysis confirm the formation of new cementitious fibres and hydrogels within the soil matrix that tends to weld soil particles and reduce the pore spaces leading to an increase in strength. Hydraulic conductivity (HC) and compressibility reduced significantly with the biopolymer content and curing period. Results emphases that β-glucan is an efficient and sustainable alternative to the traditional stabilizers like cement, lime or bitumen.

DME(Di-methyl Ether) has been expected to be one of the promising alternative fuels for compression ignition engines due to its low emission characteristics for particulate matter. However, its physical properties such as density, bulk modulus and viscosity are not comparable to those of conventional diesel fuel. Especially, problems caused by low lubricity and high compressibility need to be understood more thoroughly, when a DME fuel is used for compression ignition engine, especially with mechanical fuel supply system. In this study, measurement and calculation of DME's bulk modulus were carried out over the range of temperatures from $-3^{\circ}C$ to $53^{\circ}C$, and pressures from 50 bar to 250 bar using an experimental apparatus built in this work. The results show that DME is prone to be compressed more easily compared to diesel fuel. A comparison of bulk modulus with butane and propane were also made in this work.

A new and efficient implicit scheme is proposed to obtain a steady-state solution in time integration and the comparison of characteristics with the approximation ways for the implicit method to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is provided. The conservative, finite-volume cell-vertex upwind scheme and artificial compressibility method using dual time stepping for time accuracy is applied in this paper. The numerical results obtained indicate that the direct application of Jacobian matrix to the Lower and upper sweeps of implicit LU-SGS leads to better performance as well as convergence regardless of CFL number and true time step than explicit scheme and approximation of Jacobian matrix. The flow simulation around box in uniform flow with unstructured meshes is demonstrated to check the validity of the current formulation.

Terzaghi의 1차원 압밀이론은 그 유도과정에 있어 몇 가지 중요한 가정사항을 내포하고 있으며, 이로인해 이 이론을 연약 점토지반의 압밀거동에 적용하는데는 많은 모순이 발생할 수 밖에 없다. 특히, 미소변형 및 선형 물질함수에 대한 가정은 실제 현장의 압밀현상과 비교할 때 많은 오류를 발생시키는 원인으로 작용한다. 이러한 이유에서, Gibson 등은 물질함수의 비선형성을 고려할 수 있는 1차원 비선형 유한변형률 압밀이론에 대한 엄밀해를 발표하였다. 그러나, 이 이론은 연직배수공법이 적용된 일반적인 연약 점토지반의 압밀현상에는 적용시킬 수 없다는 단점을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 포화된 지반의 수직 및 수평방향 배수를 고려하며 지반의 자중 및 투수성과 압축성에 대한 물질함수의 비선형적 특성을 반영할 수 있는 압밀모델을 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 모델을 실제 압밀현상에 적용하기 위한 수치해석 기법을 개발하였다. 수치해석에 이용된 물질함수의 특성은 표준압밀 시험 및 로우셀 시험, 개량 표준압밀 시험등을 이용하여 산정되었다.

비대칭 3차원 핀틀 노즐 형상에서 연소실과 핀틀 노즐의 연결관 각도와 핀틀 위치가 성능계수에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 초음속 노즐을 통해 배출되는 유동 특성을 정확히 예측하기 위하여 $k-{\omega}$ SST의 압축성 보정 난류모델을 적용하였다. 비대칭 3차원 형상에 의한 복잡한 유동 구조로 인하여 나선형 형태의 유선과 유동 박리가 관찰되었으며, 이로 인하여 유동의 전압력 손실이 크게 발생되었다. 유입관의 각도가 감소할수록 성능계수가 증가하였으며, 핀틀의 위치에 따른 유동구조가 크게 변화되기 때문에 이에 대한 성능 특성을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 국내 서 남해안의 해성점토를 대상으로 대형블럭시료와 피스톤 시료를 채취하여 시료교란도 평가와 다양한 압밀시험을 수행하였다. 이들 시료에 대하여 시료교란도 분석과 다양한 압밀시험결과를 토대로 압축특성을 규명하였다. 그 결과, 대형블럭시료는 압밀시험으로 결정한 선행압밀하중까지의 체적변형률이 피스톤 시료보다 더 낮으며, 대형블럭시료에서 얻은 압축지수는 피스톤시료의 압축지수에 비하여 더 크게 나타났다. 샘플링 방법에 따른 압축지수에 끼치는 영향을 고려하여 새로운 압축지수 추정식을 제안하였다. 이러한 압축지수 제안식을 이용하여 압밀침하량을 추정한다면, 관행적으로 피스톤 샘플로부터 압축특성을 결정하는 경우보다 더 합리적으로 침하량을 예측할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Pneumatic control system has been used mainly for endpoint position control because of the compressibility, viscosity and low output stiffness of air which causes nonlinear flow characteristics. In this paper, pneumatic position control algorithms using fuzzy rule were developed to achieve faster and more stable response than conventional PI control algorithm. The performances of the proposed algorithms were compared by computer simulations with them of PI controller. From those simulations it was shown that the proposed algorithms are more efficient about settling time, steady state error and overshoot than PI control algorithm.
