본 논문에서는 주문진 표준사를 대상으로 개량된 반복삼축압축 시험장치를 이용하여 탄성계수와 감쇠비에 대한 변형특성을 분석하였다. 기존의 낮은 정밀도를 갖는 LVDT를 사용한 반복삼축시험기를 개량하여 정밀하고 넓은 영역의 동적변형특성을 얻기 위해서 전단변형률(${\gamma}$) $10^{-4}-10^{-1}%$ 범위의 측정을 제어하는 셀 외부 LDT와 내부의 시료에 LDT를 설치하여 사용하였다. 이러한 미소변형제어를 통하여 5가지의 재하속도 변화와 간극비를 구분하고 4가지의 구속응력 조건을 달리하여 반복삼축시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과를 바탕으로 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비를 여러 조건에 대하여 반복하중 및 변형률 크기의 영향을 비교하고 분석한 결과, 주문진 표준사의 기존(공진주 시험)의 동적변형특성 보다 넓은 구간에서 시험값들을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 공진주 시험에서 0.02% 이하의 미소변형률 구간에서 얻은 결과를 토대로 중간변형률 구간을 비선형 모델로 예측한 값들은 반복삼축시험으로 얻은 실험값들과 다른 변형특성을 나타내고 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Adopting a rational engineering methodology for building structures on sandy-clay soil layers has become increasingly important since it is crucial when structures erected on them often face seismic and cyclic wave loads. Such loads can cause a reduction in the stiffness, strength, and stability of the structure, particularly under un-drained conditions. Hence, this study aims to investigate how the dynamic properties of sand-clay mixtures are affected by loading frequency and clay content. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed on a total of 36 samples, comprising pure sand with a relative density of 60% and sand with varying percentages of clay. The tests were conducted under confining pressures of 50 and 100 kPa, and the samples' dynamic behavior was analyzed at loading frequencies of 0.1, 1, and 4 Hz. The findings indicate that an increase in confining pressure leads to greater inter-particle interaction and a reduced void ratio, which results in an increase in the soil's shear modulus. An increase in the shear strength and confinement of the samples led to a decrease in energy dissipation and damping ratio. Changes in loading frequency showed that as the frequency increased, the damping ratio decreased, and the strength of the samples increased. Increasing the loading frequency not only reflects changes in frequency but also reduces the relative permeability and enhances the resistance of samples. An analysis of the dynamic properties of sand and sand-clay mixtures indicates that the introduction of clay to a sand sample reduces the shear modulus and permeability properties.

본 연구에서는 기존의 액상화 평가방법과 국내의 지진규모(M=6.5)를 고려한 수정 상세예측법을 비교 분석하였다. 액상화 발생 가능성은 흙의 액상화 저항강도와 지진에 의해 토층내에 유발되는 전단응력을 비교하여 평가하였다. 지진에 의한 전단응력은 지진응답해석을 이용하여 산정하며 흙의 액상화 저항강도는 진동삼축시험결과를 이용하여 산정한다. 진동삼축시험은 상대밀도(50%, 60%, 70%)와 초기유효구속압(70kPa, 100kPa, 150kPa) 그리고 세립분함유량(10%, 20%, 30%)을 변화시키며 시료를 재성형하여 수행하였다. 기존의 액상화 평가방법과 수정 상세 예측법 결과를 비교해 볼 때, 수정 상세 예측법은 연약한 사질토지반$(FS \leq1.5)$에서 액상화 안전율을 기존 평가방법에 비하여 크게 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 액상화 발생가능성 판정시, 진동삼축시험에 기초한 수정 상세 예측법을 이용하도록 제안하였다. 또한 국내 발생 지진규모 6.5를 고려한 수정 상세 예측법에서의 액상화가 발생할 수 있는 최대심도는 약 15m인 것으로 나타났다.

Tailings fluidization (i.e., tailings behave as being fluidized) under cyclic loading is one concern during the construction of tailings dams, especially in the shallow tailings layers. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the responses of tailings under cyclic loadings and the tailings potential for fluidization. A series of cyclic triaxial undrained and drained tests were performed on medium and dense tailings samples under various cyclic stress ratios (CSR). The results indicated that axial strain and excess pore water pressure accumulated over time due to cyclic loading. However, the accumulations were dependent on CSR values, densities, and drainage conditions. The fluidization potential analysis in this study was then evaluated based on the obtained cyclic axial strain and excess pore water pressure. As a result, tailings samples were stable (unfluidized) under small CSR values, and the critical CSR values, where the tailings fluidized, varied depending on the density of tailings samples. Tailings fluidization is triggered as cyclic stress ratios reach critical values. In this study, the critical CSR values were found to be 0.15 and 0.40 for medium and dense samples, respectively.

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.

The effect of non-plastic fines (silt) on liquefaction and pore pressure generation characteristics of saturated sands was studied through undrained stress controlled cyclic triaxial tests using cylindrical specimens of size 50 mm diameter and height 100 mm at different cyclic stress ratios and at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. The tests were carried out in the laboratory adopting various measures of sample density through various approaches namely gross void ratio approach, relative density approach, sand skeleton void ratio approach, and interfine void ratio approach. The limiting silt content and the relative density of a specimen were found to influence the undrained cyclic response of sand-silt mixtures to a great extent. Undrained cyclic response was observed to be independent of silt content at very high relative densities. However, the presence of fines significantly influenced this response of loose to medium dense specimens. Combined analyses of cyclic resistance have been done using the entire data collected from all the approaches.

Turkey is one of the most important earthquake regions in Europe. This region has been exposed to many earthquakes of different magnitudes from past to present. It is of great importance to determine the dynamic properties of the soils for structures to be built in earthquake zones. In order to minimize the damages that may occur, the behavior of the soils under repeated loads should be known and taken into consideration in the design. In this study, 4 different point borings were taken near active fault lines in the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ). In order to determine the dynamic parameters of soils, both dynamic triaxial (TRX) and resonant column (RC) tests were carried out on undisturbed samples at every 5 m. As a result of the experiments, V_s and G_max values were obtained from the field and differences were determined. The dynamic behavior of the soil was examined at varying depths with the comparison of reference models in the literature and compatible results were obtained. Finally, the behavior at the transition region is highlighted. As a result, three shear modulus and dumping ratio models have been proposed for clay soils to be used in different soil conditions.

This paper presents a detailed study focused on investigating the effects of silt content on the static and dynamic properties of sand-silt mixtures. Specimens with a low-plastic silt content of 0, 15, 30 and 50% by weight were tested in static triaxial, cyclic triaxial, and resonant columns in addition to consolidation tests to determine such parameters as compression index, internal friction angle, cohesion, cyclic stress ratio, maximum shear modulus, normalized shear modulus and damping ratio. The test procedures were performed on specimens of three cases: constant void ratio index, e = 0.582; same peak deviator stress of 290 kPa; and constant relative density, $D_r$ = 30%. The test results obtained for both the constant-void-ratio-index and constant-relative-density specimens showed that as silt content increased, the internal friction angle, cyclic stress ratio and maximum shear modulus decreased, but cohesion increased. In testing of the same deviator stress specimens, both cohesion and internal friction angle were insignificantly altered with the increase in silt content. In addition, as silt content increased, the maximum shear modulus increased. The cyclic stress ratio first decreased as silt content increased to reach the threshold silt content and increased thereafter with further increases in silt content. Furthermore, the damping ratio was investigated based on different silt contents in three types of specimens.

Rock salt is a near-perfect material for gas storage repositories due to its excellent ductility and low permeability. Gas storage in rock salt layers during gas injection and gas production causes the stress redistribution surrounding the cavity. The triaxial cyclic loading and unloading tests for rock salt were performed in this paper. The elastic-plastic deformation behaviour of rock salt under cyclic loading was observed. Rock salt experienced strain hardening during the initial loading, and the irreversible deformation was large under low stress station, meanwhile the residual stress became larger along with the increase of deviatoric stress. Confining pressure had a significant effect on the unloading modulus for the variation of mechanical parameters. Based on the theory of elastic-plastic damage mechanics, the evolution of damage during cyclic loading and unloading under various confining pressure was described.
