흙의 교란영역과 측정값은 관입시험기의 크기에 영향을 받는다. 관입기의 크기가 작을수록 더 국부적인 값을 얻을 수 있다. 관입시험 시 흙의 교란을 최소화하면서 흙의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 극소형 마이크로콘(외경 5mm)을 설계 및 제작하였다. 선단저항력은 마이크로콘 선단부에 설치된 변형률계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 뿐만 아니라 선단 저항력으로부터 마찰저항력 성분을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 이중관 형식의 마찰 슬리브를 채택하였다. 설계 시 변형률계의 설치, 회로구성, 관입시스템, 관입속도, 측정률, 작동 온도, 그리고 calibration 과정이 고려되었다. 점토의 경계면, 점토-모래지반의 경계면을 마이크로콘을 적용함으로써 효과적으로 찾아 낼 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라, 마이크로 콘과 직경 16mm의 미니어처 콘을 이용하여 측정한 선단저항력이 매우 유사하지만, 마이크로 콘의 해상도가 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 마이크로 콘이 매우 높은 해상도 그리고 주변지반의 변형을 최소화하면서 흙의 경계면을 효과적으로 감지할 수 있음을 보여준다.

The criteria such as ASTM recommends that the zero reading process of CPT must be performed in the same temperature condition with underground in order to reduce the effect of temperature. However, this method can not consider the change of temperature occurred during penetration. In this study, ultra small size temperature sensor with 0.5mm in diameter is manufactured to estimate and compensate the effect of temperature by using FBG sensor. The continuous temperature changes are monitored during cone penetration by using FBG temperature sensor installed in cone penetrometer. The temperature compensated tip resistances show the uniform and similar distributions with depth in different with originally measured tip resistance in cohesive soil. This study verifies that the tip resistances measured by previous zero reading method are affected by the change of underground temperature, and suggests the new temperature compensation technique using by FBG temperature sensor.

The test fit has commonly used for the evaluation of the railbed condition, and indirect methods by using the compressional wave are also studied. the direct evaluation method by penetration test has not been studied. For the measurement of in-situ cone tip resistance of the railbed with minimizing the disturbance of the upper railbed. the cone penetrometer with the helical type outer rod(CPH) was developed. The outer rod, which has helical screw, is penetrated through the gravel layer and provides the reaction force for cone penetration testing. the cone tip resistances are measured by the mini cone penetrometer, where diameter is 15mm. For the developing the mini cone, strain gauge installation, circuit configuration, penetration rates and calibration process are considered. For the easy penetration of the screw rod in the field, the reaction force stepping plate and guide column are arranged. The screw rod are penetrated through the gravel layer. And the mini cone was pushed into the subgrade railbed at the penetration rate of 1mm/sec. The penetration test shows that the cone tip resistance increases along the depth. In addition, the subgrade condition is evaluated. This study demonstrates that the CPH may be effectively used for the evaluation of subgrade method any damage of the gravel layer.

Sand is one of the essential materials used for social infrastructure construction such as embankment, landfill and backfill. It was known that mechanical properties and shear strength of sand are closely related to relative density. Therefore it is very important to determine accurate relative density. In this study, Portable Cone Penetration Tester (PCPT) was used to estimate the relative density and the internal friction angle of sand. PCPT cone-tip resistance ($q_c$) was measured changing the relative density of the two soil samples.Standard sand (JMJ) and Busan sand (BS). Also, a direct shear test was performed to investigate relationship between relative density and internal friction angle. The size and shape of soil particles were confirmed by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). As a result, the log value of $q_c$ was linearly correlated with relative density and internal friction angle. In particular, the internal friction angle of BS sample was greater than that of JMJ, which was due to difference of the shape and mean size of particles. This result shows that it is important to determine the shape and size of particles as well as relative density to define mechanical property of sand. Through this study, it can be more effectively and conveniently to investigate relative density and shear strength of sand by using PCPT in situ.

현장지반의 공학적 특성을 파악하기 위한 콘 관입시험(Cone Penetration Test; CPT)은 원지반의 연속적인 강도 특성을 분석하여 다양한 지반변수를 손쉽게 획득할 수 있다는 점에서 널리 활용되고 있으며, 원심모형실험에서도 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원심모형실험에서 콘선단저항치를 계측할 수 있는 직경이 10 mm인 소형 콘을 개발하고 원심모형실험에서의 적용성을 평가하였다. 개발된 콘으로 4자유도 로봇을 활용하여 원심모형 가속 상태에서 콘 관입시험을 수행하였다. 이 때, 원심가속도 수준을 4회 변화시켜 다양한 유효응력상태에서 콘 관입시험을 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 얕은 관입깊이의 동일한 유효응력에서 콘 선단저항치는 g-level에 영향을 받으며, 선단저항치가 임계 깊이 도달하는 깊이는 g-level과 상대밀도가 커질수록 깊어짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 각 실험에서 임계 깊이에 도달한 선단저항치와 실내실험에서 획득한 지반물성을 이용하여 기존 경험식과 비교하였다.

The increased speed of a train causes increased loads that act on the track substructures. To ensure the safety of the track substructures, proper maintenance and repair are necessary based on an accurate characterization of strength and stiffness. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a cone penetrometer incorporated with the dynamic cone penetration method (CPD) for investigating track substructures. The CPD consists of an outer rod for dynamic penetration in the ballast layer and an inner rod with load cells for static penetration in the subgrade. Additionally, an energy-monitoring module composed of strain gauges and an accelerometer is connected to the head of the outer rod to measure the dynamic responses during the dynamic penetration. Moreover, eight strain gauges are installed in the load cells for static penetration to measure the cone tip resistance and the friction resistance during static penetration. To investigate the applicability of the developed CPD, laboratory and field tests are performed. The results of the CPD tests, i.e., profiles of the corrected dynamic cone penetration index (CDI), profiles of the cone tip and friction resistances, and the friction ratio are obtained at high resolution. Moreover, the maximum shear modulus of the subgrade is estimated using the relationships between the static penetration resistances and the maximum shear modulus obtained from the laboratory tests. This study suggests that the CPD test may be a useful method for the characterization of track substructures.

This paper presents the details of indigenous development of the piezovibrocone and calibration chamber. The developed cone has a cylindrical friction sleeve of $150cm^2$ surface area, capped with a $60^{\circ}$ apex angle conical tip of $15cm^2$ cross sectional area. It has a hydraulic shaker, coupled to the cone penetrometer with a linear displacement unit. The hydraulic shaker can produce cyclic load in different types of wave forms (sine, Hover sine, triangular, rectangular and external wave) at a range of frequency 1-10 Hz with maximum amplitude of 10 cm. The piezovibrocone can be driven at the standard rate of 2 cm/sec using a loading unit of 10 ton capacity. The calibration chamber is of size $2m{\times}2m{\times}2m$. The sides of the chamber and the top as well as the bottom portions are rigid. It has a provision to apply confining pressure (to a maximum value of $4kg/cm^2$) through the flexible rubber membrane inlined with the side walls of the calibration chamber. The preliminary static as well as dynamic cone penetration tests have been done sand in the calibration chamber. From the experimental results, an attempt has been made to classify the soil based on friction ratio ($f_R$) and the cone tip resistance ($q_c$).

점토층 사이에 존재하는 모래 협재층은 연약지반 거동에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 협재층은 주로 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$)에서 측정된 지반의 저항력과 간극수압 값을 이용하여 평가하고 있지만, 높은 해상도를 위하여 소형 콘이 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 연약지반에 얇게 분포된 협재층을 선단저항력, 주면마찰력 그리고 전기비저항을 이용하여 평가할 수 있는 전기비저항 콘(Cone Resistivity Penetrometer, CRP)을 개발하고 적용하는 것이다. CRP는 각각 실내실험(단면적: $0.78cm^2$, 직경: 1.0cm)과 현장실험(단면적: $1.76cm^2$, 직경: 1.5cm)에 활용되도록 제작하였으며, 길이는 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$, 직경: 3.57cm)의 단면적과 마찰부의 면적비를 고려하여 제작하였다. 실내실험은 모래와 점토가 반복적으로 조성된 다층의 층상탐지 셀을 사용하여 각 지층의 경계면을 탐사하였으며, 현장실험은 광양지역에서 심도 6m부터 15m까지 관입실험을 수행하였다. CRP는 실내실험에서 측정된 선단저항력과 전기비저항으로 조성된 시료의 각 지층 경계면을 뚜렷하게 평가하였으며, 현장실험에서는 3개의 협재층을 탐지하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 CRP는 실내 및 현장결과 적용성이 뛰어나 추후 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

To improve the accuracy of the standard penetration test (SPT) results, smart measurement system, which considers the energy transfer ratio into the sampler (ETR_Sampler), is required. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of joints and rod length on the transferred energy into the sampler. The energy transfer ratios into the rod head (ETR_Head) and ETR_Sampler, and the energy ratio from the head to the sampler (ER_HS) were obtained using energy modules, which were installed at the rod head and above the SPT sampler. Linear regression analyses are conducted to correlate the ER_HS with the number of joints, rod length, and SPT N-values. In addition, the dynamic resistances are calculated using both transferred energies into the rod head and into the sampler, and are compared with the corrected cone tip resistance measured from the cone penetration test (CPT). While the ETR_Head are generally constant, but the ETR_Sampler and ER_HS gradually decrease along the depth or the number of joints, except at certain depths with high SPT N-values. Thus, the ER_HS can be estimated using the number of joints, rod length, and SPT N-values. The dynamic resistance evaluated by E_Sampler produces a better correlation with the corrected cone tip resistance than that by E_Head. This study suggests that transferred energy into the SPT sampler may be effectively used for more accurate subsurface characterization.
