carried out to present a rheology model which is able to treat time-dependent properties of clay. The results were summarized as follow ; 1. The slope (a(e1)) of deviator stress in strain rate test was independent on axial strain, and pore water pressure was decreased with increment of strain rate. 2. The pore water pressure in a stress relaxation condition was not changed when the strain rate before stress relaxation was 0.05%/min., but it was increased with increment of time when the strain rate before stress relaxation was 0.2%/min 3. The greater the stress condition (q/qmax) and the strain rate before creep test became, the greater the increment rate of axial strain in creep test became. 4. SEKIGUCHI's constitutive equation was slightly overpredicted while empirical equation proposed in the study was well coincided with measured values. 5. The constitutive equation induced by a strain function could be dealed with a behavior of the pore water pressure increased with increment of elapsed time after primary consolidation.

A numerical model for the thermal response analysis of concrete structures is suggested. The model includes the stress-strain relationship, constitutive relationship, and multiaxial failure criteria at elevated temperature conditions. Modified Saenz's model was used to describe the stress-strain relationship at high temperatures. Concrete subjected to elevated temperatures undergoes rapid strain increase and dimensional instability. In order to explain those changes in mechanical properties, a constitutive model of concrete subjected to elevated temperature is proposed. The model consists of four strain components; free thermal creep strain, stress-induced (mechanical) strain, thermal creep strain, and transient strain due to moisture effects. The failure model employs modified Drucker-Prager model in order to describe the temperature dependent multiaxial failure criteria. Some numerical analyses are performed and compared with the experimental results to verify the proposed model. According to the comparison, the suggested material model gives reliable analytical results.

응력-변형률 관계의 모델링에 있어서 creep, stress relaxation, strain rate effect 등의 묘사는 중요한 지반거동중의 하나인 시간 의존적 거동의 simulation은 있어서 대단히 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 특히 지반은 변형률 속도에 대하여 때로는 매우 다른 거동 특성을 보이기 때문에 지반의 모델링에 있어서 변형율 속도를 고려한 구성방정식의 제시는 큰 비중을 차지한다 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 변형율에 따라 변화하는 지반의 거동특성을 보다 현실에 가깝게 묘사하기 위한 구성모델을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 Bounding Surface Model의 점탄소성 부분을 Perzyna(1966)와 Adachi and Oka(1982)의 구성방정식 이론을 이용하여 발전시켰다. 제안된 구성모델은 기존의 모델에 비하여 다양한 변형율 속도에 적용할 수 있는 모델 정수를 비교적 간단히 결정할 수 있다는 장점이 있으며, 변형율 속도의 영향뿐 아니라 creep, stress relaxation등의 현상도 잘 simulation 할 수 있다. 본 모델은 후에 엄격히 실시되는 실내시험을 통하여 검증될 예정이다.

The creep and consolidation behaviors of clays subjected to thermal cycles are of fundamental importance in the application of energy geostructures. This study aims to numerically investigate the physical mechanisms for the temperature-triggered volume change of saturated clays. A recently developed thermodynamic framework is used to derive the thermo-mechanical constitutive model for clays. Based on the model, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element (FE) code is developed. Comparison with experimental observations shows that the proposed FE code can well reproduce the irreversible thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays, as well as the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays under drained heating. Simulations reveal that excess pore pressure may accumulate in clay samples under triaxial drained conditions due to low permeability and high heating rate, resulting in thermally induced primary consolidation. Results show that four major mechanisms contribute to the thermal volume change of clays: (i) the principle of thermal expansion, (ii) the decrease of effective stress due to the accumulation of excess pore pressure, (iii) the thermal creep, and (iv) the thermally induced primary consolidation. The former two mechanisms mainly contribute to the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays, whereas the latter two contribute to the noticeable thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays. Consideration of the four physical mechanisms is important for the settlement prediction of energy geostructures, especially in soft soils.

This research is focused on the inducement of the constitutive equation considering the creep strain component and on the development of a finite element method program. The purpose of this research was to contribute to the design of construction structures or to the construction management in soft clay ground through predicting the long-term strain of construction structures reasonably bused on the above program. Modified Cam Clay model was adopted to describe the elastic-plastic behavior of clayey soil. And in the calculation of the creep sprain, the secondary coefficient of consolidation C. was applied for considering the volumetric creep element and the constants m, $\alpha$, A were rosed by the empirical creep equation proposed by Singh 8E Mitchell for considering the deviatoric creep element. To examine the reliability of the program which is developed in this study, the estimated values by this program were compared with the theoretical solution and the experimental results. And the applicability of the developed program was found to be reliable from the sensitive analysis of each parameters used in this study. According to the results obtained from the application of the program on the field measurement data, the estimated values by the program were found with be consistent with the actual values. And from the analysis of the displacement of embankments, the case of considering the creep behavior induced much fower errors than the case of neglecting it. But the results obtained from considering the volumetric creep behavior only were slightly underestimated the results from considering the deviator creep behavior showed the slightly overestimated values. Therefore, it remains the task of further studios to develop the laboratory test devices to obtain the reliable creep parameters, and to select the appropriate soil parameters, etc.

In this paper, the creep behavior of bolted rock was analyzed by using the unconfined creep tests and the numerical results. Based on the test results, the Bolted Burgers creep model (B-B model) was proposed to clarify the creep mechanism of rock mass due to rock bolts. As to the simulation of the creep behaviour of bolted rock, a new user-defined incremental iterative format of the B-B model was established and the open-source $FLAC^{3D}$ code was written by using the object-oriented language (C++). To check the reliability of the present B-B creep constitutive model program, a numerical model of a tunnel with buried depth of 1000 m was established to analyze the creep response of the tunnel with the B-B model support, the non-support and the bolt element support. The simulation results show that the present B-B model is consistent with the calculated results of the inherent bolt element in $FLAC^{3D}$, and the convergence deformation can be more effectively controlled when the proposed B-B model is used in the $FLAC^{3D}$ software. The big advantage of the present B-B creep model secondarily developed in the $FLAC^{3D}$ software is the high computational efficiency.

Creep densification and grain growth of alumina powder compacts during high temperature processing were investigated. The creep densification and grain growth of alumina powder compacts during various sintering processes were analyzed by employing the consitutive model by Kwon and Kim. Theoretical results from the constitutive model were compared with various experimental data of alumina powder compacts in the literature including pressureless sintering, sinter forging and hot pressing. The proposed constitutive equations were implemented into finite element analysis program (ABAQUS) to simulate densification for more complicated geometry and loading conditions. The effects of friction between die and powder compact or punch and powder compact during sinter forging and hot pressing are investigated by using the finite element method. Also, high temperature forming processing of alumina compact with complicated shape was simulated.

To obtain realistic stress-strain relation in concrete, it is necessary to improve the constitutive model for creep and shrinkage of concrete. This study is made up with predicting model of creep using rheological approach and mathematical development which is solution for phenomenon of concrete creep. Long-term deformation components are combined based on traditional 4-parameters model. Creep deformation is obtained adequately using 4-parameters determined by considering aging effect and microprestress among gels. And coefficient of effective viscosity is able to represent both basic creep and total creep included drying creep. This study attempt to establish mathematical model considering effects of aging, hydration, and variations of pore humidity. It can predict both basic creep and total creep. Values of result between prediction and experiment have greater than correlation factor 99%. Additionally experimental results report bad consentaneity with highway design specification adopting FIB MC 90. Rather than those are similar to FIB MC 90 rev.99.

A unified elastic-viscoplastic ocnstitutive model based on dislocation density considerations is described. A combination of a kinetic equation, which describes the mechanical response of a material at a given microstructure in terms of dislocation glide and evolution equations for internal variables characterizing the microstructure provide the constitutive equations of the Model. Microstructural features of the material, such as the grain size, spacing between second phase particles etc., are directly implemented in the constitutive equations. The internal variables are associated with the total dislocation density in the simple version of the model. The model has a modular structure and can be adjusted to describe a particular type of metal forming processes.
