1D sand compression response to ko-loading experiences volume contraction from low to high effective stress regimes. Previous study suggested compressibility model with physically correct asymptotic void ratios at low and high stress levels and examined only for both remolded clays and natural clays. This study extends the validity of Enhanced Terzaghi model for different sand types complied from 1D compression data. The model involved with four parameters can adequately fit 1D sand compression data for a wide stress range. The low stress obtained from fitting parameters helps to identify the initial fabric conditions. In addition, strong correlation between compressibility and the void ratio at low stress facilitates determination of self-consistent fitting parameters. The computed tangent constrained modulus can capture monotonic stiffening effect induced by an increase in effective stress. The magnitude of tangent stiffness during large strain test should not be associated with small strain stiffness values. The use of a single continuous function to capture 1D stress-strain sand response to ko-loading can improve numerical efficiency and systematically quantify the yield stress instead of ad hoc methods.

지반과 터널라이닝의 상호작용을 고려한 GLI모델은 기존의 Terzaghi 이완하중과 골조모델을 이용한 방법에 비해 터널의 2차라이닝(콘크리트라이닝)에 작용하는 지반하중을 합리적으로 경감할 수 있음이 입증된 바 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 골조모델을 이용하여 설계된 OO선O공구의 콘크리트라이닝에 대해 GLI모델을 도입한 현장설계를 통해 경제성 및 시공성을 개선하였다. 다양한 안전측 고려사항에도 불구하고 철근량의 약 50%가 감소하여 철근자재비를 감소시킬 수 있었고 적정한 철근간격을 확보하여 콘크리트 밀실충전이 용이하였다. 지반조건이 불량한 터널일 수록 더 큰 철근량 절감효과가 있었으며, 이는 Terzaghi 이완하중이 불량한 지반에서 과도하게 산정되기 때문이다.

The presence of the pore fluid strongly influences the reponse of the soil subjected to external loading and in many cases increases the risk of final failure. In this paper, we propose the use of a discrete beam lattice model with the aim to investigate the coupling effects of the solid and fluid phase on the response and failure mechanisms in the saturated soil. The discrete cohesive link lattice model used in this paper, is based on inelastic Timoshenko beam finite elements with enhanced kinematics in axial and transverse direction. The coupling equations for the soil-pore fluid interaction are derived from Terzaghi's principle of effective stresses, Biot's porous media theory and Darcy's law for fluid flow through porous media. The application of the model in soil mechanics is illustrated through several numerical simulations.
