조립재료는 철도, 도로, 댐 등의 대형 지반구조물의 중요한 성토재료로 활용되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 조립재료에 대한 정확한 물성산정은 합리적인 설계와 시공을 위해 필수적이다. 하지만 대입경의 조립재료를 실험하기 위한 장비가 부족하여 이에 대한 연구가 매우 제한적이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 직경 500mm, 300mm, 150mm 등의 공시체에 대한 실험이 기능한 대형삼축압축시험장비를 구축하였다. 본 장비에서는 로드셀을 삼축셀 안에 설치하고, 미소변형률 수준에서의 제어와 변위측정의 정확도를 높이기 위해 시편 중간 영역의 변형을 측정하였다. 본 장비의 동적물성실험 검증을 위해 같은 강성으로 직경 300mm와 50mm의 우레탄 5쌍을 제작하였다. 대형삼축압축시험장비를 이용해서는 직경 300mm의 대형 우레탄 시편에 대한 실험을 수행하였으며, 소형(직경 50mm) 우레탄 시편에 대한 RC/TS, 충격반향기법시험 등을 수행하였다. 시험 결과에서 본 장비의 합리적 시험 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

삼랑진에 위치한 삼랑진양수발전 상.하부댐의 댐마루에 시공 후 종방향 균열이 발생하였다. 이 댐들은 전력을 생산하기 위한 양수발전댐으로 상부댐과 하부댐으로 구성되어 있으며, 매일 10m이상의 수위변화를 받아왔다. 본 논문은 이들 댐중 상부댐에 발생한 종방향 균열의 원인을 찾는데 있다. 균열의 주요 원인은 수위변동으로 인한 것으로 판단되었으며, 이를 검토하기 위해 hyperbolic model을 이용한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석을 위한 입력자료를 얻기 위해 심벽재료와 사석재료에 대해 일련의 삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 또한 수위변동으로 인한 주기적인 응력변화를 검토하기 위한 입력자료를 얻기 위해 진동삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과 반복하중이 작용했을 경우 댐마루에서 깊이 4m까지 구속압력이 음이 되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이로 인해 종방향균열이 발생한 것으로 판단되었다. 이 종방향균열의 깊이는 댐 마루에서 수행한 시험굴에서 확인하였으며, 현장 조사결과와 잘 부합하였다.

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.

In this study, cyclic triaxial tests were performed with the samples which were anisotropically consolidated using irregular earthquake loading to consider in-situ condition and seismic wave. The consolidation pressure ratio(K) was changed from 0.5 to 1.0. The Ofunato and Hachinohe wave are applied as irregular earthquake loading and liquefaction resistance strength was estimated from excess pore water pressure(EPWP) ratio. As results of the cyclic triaxial tests, buildup of EPWP ratio increased as K value increased. It shows, that the isotropically consolidated sands is more susceptible to liquefaction than anisotropically consolidated sands under equal conditions such as confining pressure and dynamic loading.

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.

In this paper, a database consisting of the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio test data of clay obtained from 406 groups of triaxial tests is constructed with the starting area of Xiong'an New Area as the research background. The aim is to study the nonlinear dynamic properties of clay in this area under cyclic loading. The study found that the effective confining pressure and plasticity index have certain influences on the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of clay in this area. Through data analysis, it was found that there was a certain correlation between effective confining pressure and plasticity index and dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio, with fitting degree values greater than 0.1263 for both. However, other physical indices such as the void ratio, natural density, water content and specific gravity have only a small effect on the dynamic shear modulus ratio and the damping ratio, with fitting degree values of less than 0.1 for all of them. This indicates that it is important to consider the influence of effective confining pressure and plasticity index when studying the nonlinear dynamic properties of clays in this area. Based on the above, prediction models for the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio in this area were constructed separately. The results showed that the model that considered the combined effect of effective confining pressure and plasticity index performed best. The predicted dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio closely matched the actual curves, with approximately 88% of the data falling within ±1.3 times the measured dynamic shear modulus ratio and approximately 85.1% of the data falling within ±1.3 times the measured damping ratio. In contrast, the prediction models that considered only a single influence deviated from the actual values, particularly the model that considered only the plasticity index, which predicted the dynamic shear modulus ratio and the damping ratio within a small distribution range close to the average of the test values. When compared with existing prediction models, it was found that the predicted dynamic shear modulus ratio in this paper was slightly higher, which was due to the overall hardness of the clay in this area, leading to a slightly higher determination of the dynamic shear modulus ratio by the prediction model. Finally, for the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of the engineering site in the starting area of Xiong'an New Area, we confirm that the prediction formulas established in this paper have high reliability and provide the applicable range of the prediction model.

The main objective of this paper is to develop an improved model for the analysis of liquefaction potential and to predict excess pore pressure (EPP) using the proposed model that can simulate behavior of saturated sand under earthquake loading conditions. The damage concept is adopted for the development of the proposed model. For the development of the model, a general formulation based on experimental results and damage potential using cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) is proposed for a more realistic description of dynamic responses of saturated sand. Undrained dynamic triaxial tests are conducted using earthquake loading conditions. Based on test results, the NCER-NCW function in terms of $w_d$ and CAV is developed. Procedure for the evaluation of EPP and determination of model parameters for the proposed model is presented as well. For the determination of initial liquefaction, the minimum curvature method using the NCS-NCW curve is proposed. It is observed that predicted initial liquefaction using the proposed method agrees well with measured initial liquefaction. From results of additional undrained dynamic triaxial tests, it is seen that predicted EPP generation using the proposed model agrees well with measured results for earthquake loading cases.

화강풍화토의 동결-융해 전후의 동적 거동을 구명하기 위하여 반복삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 화강풍화토의 실트 함유량 20%이내에서 동결-융해를 받지 않은 공시체와 동결-융해를 받은 공시체를 구속압력을 변화시켜 동적 물성치인 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 변화 특성을 고찰하였다. 또한 점성토의 함유량을 각각 다르게 하여 소성지수의 변화에 따른 동결-응해 후의 동적 거동의 변화를 고찰하였다. 연구결과, 화강풍화토의 실트함유량이 증가할수록 전단탄성계수는 감소하였다. 그러나 동일한 밀도, 구속압력의 조건에서 동결-융해를 받은 화강풍화토의 전단탄성계수는 실트함유량에 관계없이 전단탄성계수에 큰 차이가 없었다. 점토를 함유한 소성지수 20이내의 화강풍화토의 전단탄성계수는 소성지수가 클수록 증가하였으며 동결-융해를 받게되면 전단탄성계수의 감소가 뚜렷하게 나타났다.

When enforced earth is used for the retain wall and four walls, the most important thing would be how to maximize the land utilization. Accordingly, in case of enforced earth, we pile up the minimal height of earth$(20\sim30cm)$ and harden the earth using a static dynamic hardening machine. In this paper, we tried to analyze and. compare the stress transformation characteristics of reinforced weathered granite soil. with geosynthetics when repetitive load is added to the enforced earth structure and when static load is added. The purposes of the study are as follows; 1) To compare and analyze non reinforced weathered granite soil and reinforced weathered granite. soil by executing a unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests. 2) To identify the strength characteristics of weathered granite soil reinforced with geotextile due to the repetitive dynamic loads through comparison of the stress due to the static load and the repetitive dynamic loads.
