대부분의 선행연구는 동결 삼축압축시험 수행 시, 몰드를 사용하여 시료를 조성하고 단방향으로 동결을 진행하였다. 이는 동결된 시료에 잔류응력이 발생할 가능성이 있기 때문에 인공동결공법이 적용된 지반을 모사하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 시험방법의 한계를 보완할 수 있는 시험장비 및 시험방법을 제안하고, 제안된 방법으로 온도 및 구속압력에 따른 동결 사질토의 역학적 특성을 평가하였다. 동결온도가 낮아질수록 동결 사질토는 취성이 증가하였고, 부동수분의 감소 및 얼음자체의 강도 증가로 인하여 강도가 증가하였다. 구속압력의 증가는 강도저감 효과를 발생시키는 압력융해 현상과 강도증진 효과를 발생시키는 흙 입자의 마찰력 증가 모두를 야기하였다. 이처럼 동결 사질토의 역학적 거동은 구속압력과 동결온도의 복합적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

지오튜브 공법은 해안지역 해안선 침식방지와 준설토 매립 호안사면의 뒤채움 필터석 대체용으로도 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 지오텍스타일에 의해 보강되어 제작된 공시체를 현장 상태를 고려하여 등방 구속압력 10kPa, 50kPa, 100kPa 이하로 최소화하여 연직응력 재하 시 변형 거동을 파악하였다. 시험결과 공시체의 연직 변형율 7%까지는 구속압(≤100kPa)에 관계없이 지오텍스타일 조직의 이완에 따른 인장력이 발휘되는 초기 Strain Hardening 영향으로 응력-변위 거동은 동일하였다. 변형율 7%이상부터는 구속압력이 작은 공시체는 재하 시 변형이 커서 보강 지오텍스타일의 인장 저항력을 증가시키므로 Strain Hardening에 의해 파괴 시 축차응력은 상대적으로 증가하였다. 파괴 후는 급격하게 Strain Softening에 의해 취성파괴형태를 나타내면서 저하되었다. 이는 일반적인 삼축압축시험에서 셀 압이 증가되면서 전단응력도 크게 증가되는 현상과 다르다. 지오텍스타일 등방구속시험에서는 지오텍스타일의 인장변위가 일차적으로 영향을 받기 때문에 탄성계수를 급격하게 증가시키는 탄성 거동을 나타내고 있다.

해양성 현무암층에 대해 현장에서의 속도와 공극률의 관계를 알기 위해서 Juan do Fuca 해저산맥의 동쪽 측면으로부터 채취한 현무암 시료들에 대해 최고 40MPa 구속압력(confining pressure)하에서 균열 특성을 고려하며 P파와 S파 속도를 측정하였다. 구속압력에 따른 속도의 변화는 미세균열의 닫힘(microcrack closure)에 기인한다고 가정하고, Kuster-$Toks{\ddot{o}}z$ 이론을 이용하여 미세균열의 개구비 스펙트라(micro-crack aspect ratio spectra)를 측정하였다. 그 결과 서로 다른 시료들의 정규화된 개구비 스펙트라들이 유사한 특성을 갖는다는 것을 보여주었다. 그리고 나서 정규화된 개구비 스펙트럼(spectrum)으로부터, 각 공극률에 대한 개구비 스펙트럼을 계산함으로써 이론적인 속도와 공극률의 관계를 만들었다. 또한 구속압력에 따른 미세균열 닫힘을 고려하여 구속압력의 함수로서의 속도-공극률 관계를 얻을 수 있었다. 개구비 스펙트라를 고려한 이론적인 관계는 대기압하에서 측정된 100개가 넘는 시료들에 대해 관찰된 관계와 잘 일치하고, 넓은 범의의 공극률에 대해 일반적으로 관찰되는 압력 의존적인 관계와도 잘 일치된다. 실험에서 유도된 자료들과 이론적으로 계산된 값들의 일치를 통해 Juan de Fuca 해저산맥의 동쪽 측면으로부터 얻어진 현무암 시료의 속도와 공극률의 관계는 균열의 특성(즉, 정규화된 개구비 스펙트라)과 균열 담힘에 의해 설명되어질 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The accurate modeling of boundary conditions is important in simulations of the discrete element method (DEM) and can affect the numerical results significantly. In conventional triaxial compression (CTC) tests, the specimens are wrapped by flexible membranes allowing to deform freely. To accurately model the boundary conditions of CTC, new flexible boundary algorithms for 2D and 3D DEM simulations are proposed. The new algorithms are computationally efficient and easy to implement. Moreover, both horizontal and vertical component of confining pressure are considered in the 2D and 3D algorithms, which can ensure that the directions of confining pressure are always perpendicular to the specimen surfaces. Furthermore, the boundaries are continuous and closed in the new algorithms, which can prevent the escape of particles from the specimens. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is validated by biaxial and triaxial simulations of granular materials. The results show that the algorithms allow the boundaries to deform non-uniformly on the premise of maintaining high control accuracy of confining pressure. Meanwhile, the influences of different lateral boundary conditions on the numerical results are discussed. It is indicated that the flexible boundary is more appropriate for the models with large strain or significant localization than rigid boundary.

The thermomechanical characteristics of rocks such as temperature dependency of strength and deformation were experimentally investigated using Iksan granite, Cheonan tonalite and Chung-ju dolomite for proper design and stability analysis of underground structures subjected to temperature changes. For the temperature below critical threshold temperature $T_c$, the variation of uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, Brazilian tensile strength and cohesion with temperature were slightly different for each rock type, but these mechanical properties decreased at the temperatures above $T_c$ by the effect of thermal cracking. Tensile strength was most affected by $T_c$, and uniaxial compressive strength was least affected by $T_c$. To the temperature of 20$0^{\circ}C$ with the confining prressure to 150 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, failure limit on principal stress plane and failure envelope on $\sigma$-$\tau$ plane of Iksan granite were continuously lowered with increasing temperature but those of Cheonan tonalite and Chung-ju dolomite showed different characteristics depending on minor principal stress on principal stress plane and normal stress on $\sigma$-$\tau$ plane. The reason for this appeared to be the effect of rock characteristics and confining pressure. Young's modulus was also temperature and pressure dependent, but the variation of Young's modulus was about 10%, which was small compared to the variation of compressive strength. In general, Young's modulus increased with increasing confining pressure and increased or decreased with increasing temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$ depending on the rock type.

The compression anchor is characterized by decrement of progressive failure, simple site work, economy and durability compared with tension anchor. In this paper, compression anchor is analysed through the laboratory element tests. The formula to be estimate the grout strength in fixed part of compression anchor and the effective reinforcement method for several types of soil were suggested. The following conclusions were made from this study : (1) A formula, which is able to calculate the grout strength in the fixed part of the compression anchor, is suggested. (2) The strength increment ratios( $R_{si}$) are 100％, 132％, 147％, 217％ according to the reinforcement method of grout. The reinforcement method is Non, Outside spiral, Inside-Outside spiral, Steel pipe, respectively. (3) The strength increment ratios( $R_{si}$) by reinforcing can be 8.23 times the strength increment effect according to the reinforcement types and ground confining pressure. (4) The steel pipe reinforcement is most effective in decomposed soil while, in the case of hard rock ground, high confining pressure is exerted on the grout, so there is no need to use reinforcements.

Various core shapes of cylindrical drains are used for accelerating primary consolidation for soft clay deposits, but serious harmful disadvantages on drainage capacity may occur on cylindrical drains due to confining Pressure when they are installed in that soil. In this study, two different core shapes of cylindrical drain are used to evaluate the drainage capacity with consideration of clogging effects on their filter jackets for an applied confining pressure. Column tests with radial drainage system were conducted under confining pressure of 50 kPa for 13 days. Two parameters which are discharge and accumulated volume of water drained were measured as the time elapsing. From this experimental study, the results showed that at the Initial stage before the clogging developed enough, the cylindrical drain with angular-type-plastic-core could produce discharge twice higher (maximum) than those with round-type. After 13 days had passed on, cylindrical drain with angular-type-plastic-core could produce discharge only 20% higher than those with round-type one. Eventually, there is a possibility that the efficiency of using angular-type-cylindrical-drain will be similar to the round-type one as the clogging develops more.

To overcome the dilemma of the [BQ] method's inability to predict mountain tunnel support loads, this study is based on the Hoek-Brown criterion and previous results to obtain the connection equations from GSI scores to each parameter of the Hoek-Brown criterion and the link between the [BQ] scores and the GSI system. The equations were embedded in the Hoek-Brown criterion of FLAC6.0 software to obtain tunnel construction forecasts without destroying the in-situ stratigraphy. The feasibility of the secondary development of the Hoek-Brown criterion was verified through comparative analysis with field engineering measurements. If GSI > 45 with a confining pressure of less than 10 MPa, GSI has little effect on the critical softening factor while we should pay attention to the parameter of confining pressure when GSI < 45. The design values for each parameter are closer to the FLAC3D simulation results and the secondary development of the Hoek-Brown criterion meets the design objectives. If the Class V surrounding rock is thinned with shotcrete or the secondary lining is installed earlier, the secondary lining may act as the main load-bearing structure. The study may provide ideas for rapid prediction of mountainous tunnels in China.

Triaxial compression tests were run to study on the undrained strength characteristics of fiber mixed kaolin clay(Hadong). The influence of various test parameters such as amount and aspect ratio(ratio of length to diameter) of fiber, confining stress was also investigated. Test results showed that the increase in aspect ratio was increased in deviator stress at failure, but no effect on pore water pressure at failure. Deviator stress at failure was also increased at 0.5％ mixing ratio(weight fraction of fiber to that of soil solid) of fiber but it was, thereafter, decreased and wits reached to constant after 2％ mixing ratio. On the contrary, Pore water pressure at failure was increased as mixing ratio of fiber was greater than 1%. Deviator stress and pore water pressure of both clay and fiber mixed clay(FMC) at failure were increased as confining stress was increased. Deviator stress of FMC at failure was about 10％ larger than that of clay, but pore water pressure of FMC at failure was almost similar to that of clay.

In this paper, the existing Stokoe type torsional shear equipment is modified to saturate the specimen and measure excess pore water pressure during undrained testing. Two types of sands, Geumgang and Toyoura sands, were collected and TS tests were performed at various densities drainage conditions, and confining pressures. The cyclic threshold shearing strains were estimated based on the variations of shear modulus, material damping ratio and pore pressures with loading cycles. The effects of relative density, confining pressure, and drainage condition on the cyclic threshold shearing strains were investigated.
