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.

This paper investigates the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) circular columns under combined loading including torsion. The main variables considered in this study are the ratio of torsional moment to bending moment (T/M) and the level of detailing for moderate and high seismicity (low and high transverse reinforcement/spiral ratio). This paper presents the results of tests on seven columns subjected to cyclic bending and shear, cyclic torsion, and various levels of combined cyclic bending, shear, and torsion. Columns under combined loading were tested at T/M ratios of 0.2 and 0.4. These columns were reinforced with two spiral reinforcement ratios of 0.73% and 1.32%. Similarly, the columns subjected to pure torsion were tested with two spiral reinforcement ratios of 0.73% and 1.32%. This study examined the significance of proper detailing, and spiral reinforcement ratio and its effect on the torsional resistance under combined loading. The test results demonstrate that both the flexural and torsional capacities are decreased due to the effect of combined loading. Furthermore, they show a significant change in the failure mode and deformation characteristics depending on the spiral reinforcement ratio. The increase in spiral reinforcement ratio also led to significant improvement in strength and ductility.

The effects of mean particle size and uniformity coefficient of dredged soils to the liquefaction resistance strength and dynamic characteristics are experimentally studied in this paper. Representative 4 mean particle sizes and 3 uniformity coefficients were selected and 12 representative particle size distribution curves which have different mean particle sizes and uniformity coefficients, were artificially manufactured using the real dredged river soil. Cyclic triaxial tests and torsional shear tests were carried out to analyze the effect of mean particle size and uniformity coefficient to the liquefaction resistance strength and dynamic characteristics of soils.

동적하중을 받는 지반-구조물 시스템의 설계를 위해 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비로 표현되는 지반의 변형특성의 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 공진주/비틂전단시험기를 이용하여 저변형률 및 중간 변형률하에서 건조사질토의 변형특성을 연구하였다. 동적시험인 공진주시험과 반복시험인 비틀전단시험을 동일한 공시 체를 이용하여 실시하였다. 진동측정시스템을 개량하여 응력 -변형관계가 하중반복회수와 전단변형률의 크기에 영향을 받지않는 선형영역을 찾았으며 이 영역에서 이력감쇠가 존재함을 나타내었다. 반복한계변형률 이상에서는 하중반복회수에 따라 전단탄성계수는 증가하고 감쇠비는 감소하였다. 사질토의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비는 진동주파수에 영향을 받지 않으며 의사정적시험인 비틈전단시험에서 변형특성과 동적시험인 공진주 시험에서 얻은 값은 비교시 하중반복회수의 영향을 고려하면 동일하다. 그러므로 공진주l비틀전단시 험을 통해 얻은 변형특성은 지반-구조물시스템의 동적해석은 물론 정적해석에서도 적용할 수 있다.

Traffic-induced cyclic loading leads to the rotation of principal stresses within pavement foundations, challenging accurate simulation with conventional triaxial testing equipment. To investigate the deformation characteristics of fiber-reinforced soil under traffic loads and to develop a fractional-order model to describe these deformations. A series of hollow cylinder torsional shear tests were conducted using the GDS-SSHCA apparatus. The effects of fiber content, load frequency, cyclic deviatoric stress amplitude, and cyclic shear stress amplitude on soil deformation were analyzed. The results revealed that fiber content up to 3% enhances soil resistance to deformation, while higher fiber content reduces it. Axial cumulative plastic deformation decreases with higher load frequencies and increases with higher cyclic stresses. The study also found that principal stress rotation exacerbates soil deformation. A fractional integral model based on the Riemann-Liouville operator was developed to describe the axial cumulative plastic strain, with its validity confirmed by supplementary tests. This model provides a scientific basis for understanding foundation deformation under traffic loading and contributes to the development of dynamic constitutive soil models.

본 논문에서는 동반된 논문에서 제안된 수정 병렬 IWAN 모델의 적용성을 금강 모래와 토요라 모래를 대상으로 비틂전단실험을 수행하여 검증하였다. 두가지 사질토에 대해서 대칭 하중과 불규칙 하중을 반복 재하하여 실험을 수행하였다. 제안된 모델의 변수는 다양한 상대밀도와 구속압 조건하에서 대칭 반복하중을 재하하여 결정하였다. 시험 결과, 하중반복회수가 증가함에 따라 발생하는 사질토의 반복경화거동을 수정 병렬 IWAN 모델로 표현 가능하였으며, Pyke(1979)에 의해 제안된 불규칙 하중 형태를 이용한 실험결과를 실험 조건이 유사한 대칭 반복하중 재하실험 결과로 얻어진 모델 변수를 이용하여 예측한 결과 실험 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

The dynamic characteristics of west coast sand were investigated in order to evaluate the design properties of the offshore wind turbine foundations to be constructed in the West Sea. Torsional shear tests were performed at different confining pressures and densities on specimens constituted by the dry fluviation method. The strain-dependent shear modulus and damping curves were obtained, together with modulus degradation curves. The results show that the confining pressure is more influential on the dynamic characteristics of the sand than the density. It was also found that the dynamic curves from this study were similar to those proposed by others. The modulus degradation ratio $G/G_{1st}$ varies slightly at a small strain level, but increases significantly once beyond the intermediate strain level.

It has been observed in the past that, the reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns are very often subjected to torsional moment in addition to flexure and shear during seismic vibration. Ignoring torsion in the design can trigger unexpected shear failure of the columns (Farhey et al. 1993). Performance based seismic design is a popular design philosophy which calls for accurate prediction of the hysteresis behavior of structural elements to ensure safe and economical design under earthquake loading. However, very few investigations in the past focused on the development of analytical models to accurately predict the response of RC members under cyclic torsion. Previously developed hysteresis models are not readily applicable for torsional loading owing to significant pinching and stiffness degradation associated with torsion (Wang et al. 2014). The present study proposes an improved polygonal hysteresis model which can accurately predict the hysteretic behavior of RC circular and square columns under torsion. The primary curve is obtained from mechanics based softened truss model for torsion. The proposed model is validated with test data of two circular and two square columns. A good correlation is observed between the predicted and measured torque-twist behavior and dissipated energy.

A total stress-based bounding surface model is developed to predict the undrained behaviour of saturated soft clays under cyclic loads based on the anisotropic hardening modulus field and bounding-surface theories. A new hardening rule is developed based on a new interpolation function of the hardening modulus that has simple mathematic expression and fewer model parameters. The evolution of hardening modulus field is described in the deviatoric stress space. It is assumed that the stress reverse points are the mapping centre points and the mapping centre moves with the variation of loading and unloading paths to describe the cyclic stress-strain hysteresis curve. In addition, by introducing a model parameter that reflects the accumulation rate and level of shear strain to the interpolation function, the cyclic shakedown and failure behaviour of soil elements with different combinations of initial and cyclic stresses can be captured. The methods to determine the model parameters using cyclic triaxial compression tests are also studied. Finally, the cyclic triaxial extension and torsional shear tests are performed. By comparing the predictions with the test results, the model can be used to describe undrained cyclic stress-strain responses of elements with different stress states for the tested clays.

점성토의 변형특성을 연구하기 위하여 공진주(RC)시험과 비틀전단(75)시험을 저변형률 및 중간 변형률하에서 실시하여 변형률의 크기,진동주파수,하중반복회수의 영향을 살펴보았다. 소 성지수가 이들의 영향을 평가하는데 중요한 변수임을 알 수 있었다. 실험에 사용된 시료로는 불 교란 실트 및 점토와 실험실에서 다져진 노상토를 사용하였다. 선형한계변형률이하에서 전단탄 성계수는 하중반복회수와 변형률의 크기에 영향을 받지 않았으며, RC시험에서 얻은 최소감소비가 1.1%에서 1.7%영역에서 존재하였다. 점성토의 선형한계변형률은 구속압과 소성지수에 따라 증가하였으며 사질토와 비교하여 넘은 선형영역을 보였다. 반복한계변형률이상의 변형률하에서는 전단탄성계수는 하중반복회수에 따라 감소하였지만 감쇠비는 영향을 받지 않았다. 진동주파수의 영향에 의해 RC시험에서 얻은 점성토의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비는 RC시험결과보다 컸다. 전단탄성계수는 진동주파수의 대수증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였고 감쇠비의 경우 2Hz이하의 저주파수영역에서는 영향을 받지 않았다.
