이 연구는 경상남도 함안군 일대에 분포하는 백악기 이암에 대하여 동결-융해 시험을 수행하고 동결-융해 반복 횟수의 증가에 따른 암석의 물리 역학적 특성변화를 고찰하였다. 동결-융해의 한 사이클은 24시간이며 진공 챔버에서 2시간 동안 포화시킨 시료를 $-16{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 8시간 동결하고 상온에서 14시간 동안 융해하였다. 총 55 사이클의 동결-융해 시험 중에 물리적인 특성을 측정한 결과 비중, P파 속도는 지속적으로 감소하였으며 흡수율, 공극률은 지속적으로 증가하였다. 시험 전 풍화를 많이 받은 암석일수록 동결-융해에 따른 물성의 변화가 크며 풍화에 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 슬랩 시편에서 취득한 미세균열 트레이스의 크기 및 면적밀도는 30사이클 이후부터 급격히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 30사이클 이후 급격히 감소하는 P파 속도의 특성과도 부합하며 암석 내부에 미세균열이 급격히 발현 확장하고 특히 층리면의 결합력이 약화되는 암석 풍화에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 미세균열의 밀집도와 크기를 동시에 고려할 수 있는 박스 프랙탈 차원($D_B$)은 미세균열 트레이스의 변동성을 효과적으로 반영하며 중 장기적인 풍화 예측을 위한 새로운 풍화지수로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The glacial tills and shales in Midwestern states of the USA often show strength degradation after construction. They are often in need of applying soil modification techniques to remediate their strength degradation with weathering process. This study investigated the weathering durability of these natural soils and biopolymer treated soils by comparing direct shear test results for wet-dry and wet-freeze-thaw-dry cycled specimens. The tests showed that untreated glacial tills maintained only 62% and 50% initial shear strength after eight wet-dry cycles and eight wet-freeze-thaw-dry cycles, respectively. These untreated soils could not withstand by themselves after 16 weathering cycles. The same soils treated with 1.5% (by dry weight) food-grade Xanthan gum maintained 140% and 88% initial shear strength of untreated soils after 16 weathering cycles for wet-dry cycles and wet-freeze-thaw-dry cycles, respectively. The same soils treated with 1.5% (by dry weight) Gellan gum maintained 82% and 60% initial shear strength of untreated ones after 16 weathering cycles, respectively. Similar results were obtained for crushed shales, manifesting that the biopolymerization method may be adopted as a new eco-friendly method to enhance the weathering durability of these problematic soils of glacial tills and shales.

The deformation behaviors under uniaxial compressive cyclic loading were investigated for fresh rocks and freeze-thaw cycled samples. The Pocheon granite which is one of the most popular building stone in Korea was selected for tests. 0.5 Hz and 50% of dynamic strength were used as test conditions for frequency and fatigue span, respectively. For freezethaw procedure, sample were frozen for 3 hours under the temperature of -2$0^{\circ}C$ and then followed 3 hours thawing under the temperature of +2$0^{\circ}C$. Twenty seven samples were used as untreated and seventy three for freeze-thaw samples. No failure occurred up to 15000 cycles at the stress level of 60% of dynamic strength, indicating that the lowest strees level for fatigue failure may be around 60% of dynamic strength. Permanent strain and damping capacity curves show that there were three stages when rock behaves like under creep. Young's moduli were increased and Possion's ratios were decreased with the increase of the number of cycles. Possion's ratios varied more rapidly than Young's moduli did with the increase of the number of cycles. This may represent that most microcracks developed by fatigue stress are parallel to the axis of loading. The deformation behavior of freeze-thaw cycled samples were almost the same as that of untreated samples. However, the result of freeze-thaw cycled samples showed lower regression constant, indicating that the physical durability of rock is much lowered because of cyclic temperature variation.

한라산 정상의 백록담 서북벽 표고 1,860m 지점에서 18개월간 용암돔 암벽의 표면 온도를 향별로 관측하여 동결융해 사이클의 빈도와 출현 시기, 동결기의 암온 저하량을 밝혔다. 관측 지점에는 일주기와 연주기의 동결융해 사이클이 나타난다. 유효동결융해 사이클을 포함하여 일주기성 동결융해 사이클은 북동향 암벽보다 남서향 암벽에서 더 많이 발생한다. 일주기성 동결융해 사이클은 남서향 암벽에서는 2월과 3월에, 북동향 암벽에서는 11월과 4월에 집중적으로 출현한다. 또한 남서향 암벽에서는 11월 중순~4월 중순, 북동향 암벽에서는 11월 초순~4월 하순에 걸쳐 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 암온이 지속되는 계절적 동결기가 출현함으로써 연주기성 동결융해 사이클도 확인된다. 동결기의 암온 저하량은 동결지수가 더 높은 북동향 암벽에서 더 크고, 동결파쇄의 최적 온도 기준점으로 알려진 $-3^{\circ}C$ 이하의 지속시간도 북동향 암벽에서 더 길어 북동향 암벽이 남서향 암벽보다 일주기성 동결융해 사이클의 빈도는 낮아도 동결 강도는 더 큰 것으로 보인다. 따라서 암벽의 향에 따른 일사 조건의 차이가 동결융해 사이클의 빈도와 동결 지속시간을 결정함으로써 일주기성 동결융해 사이클은 남서향 암벽에서, 연주기성 동결융해 사이클은 북동향 암벽에서 현저하게 출현한다. 암석의 동결파쇄는 온도 조건으로만 결정되는 것은 아니므로 식생피복, 지형적 위치, 고도, 향을 달리하는 다양한 장소의 온도 자료 축적과 함께 암석 물성과 수분 공급에 관한 조사가 필요하다.

The durability of concrete involves resistance to freeze-thaw action, corrosion, permeation, carbonation, chemical attack and so on. Generally, properties of concrete have been well understood under the separate action of these deterioration mechanisms. However, in practice, the degradation of concrete usually is the result of combined action of physical and chemical attack and can be accelerated by the combined action of several deterioration mechanisms. In the present study, to evaluate the combined deterioration by freeze-thaw action and seawater attack, ground granulated blast-furnace slag or silica fume concrete with water or seawater as mixing water was exposed to 210 cycles of freeze-thaw action. Tests were conducted to determined the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity and compressive strength. Furthermore, The XRD, SEM and EDS analysis were performed on the deteriorated part of concrete due to freeze-thaw action and seawater attack.

For the present experiment five Portland cement mortars are in order: mortars with two different water/ cement ratios (W/C=0.45 and 0.50, each having no chemical additive), and those with an additive such as superplasticizer, air-entraining agent or water-repelling agent. We fix the W/C ratio of mortars having additive so that their pastes can yield the same workability as that of the cement mortar of W/C=0.50 with no additive. It is shown that the freeze-thaw resistivity depends heavily on the characteristic of wide pores. Despite a good deal of wide pores, the air-entrained specimen shows a good freeze-thaw resistivity due to appropriate air-pores. And also the specimen with water-repelling agent, which proves to cause the microstructure to become hydrophobic, make good resistance to freeze-thaw cycles in spite of its high wide-porosity. Our suggestion is that the freeze-thaw durability of Portland cement mortar/concrete can be more effectively enhanced by using air-entraining agent or water-repelling agent, and simutaneously by taking proper measures against foaming and/or the increased tendency of wide-pore building due to additive.

The usability of waste materials as raw materials is necessary for sustainable production. This study investigates the effects of different powder materials used to replace cement (0%, 5% and 10%) and standard sand (0%, 20% and 30%) (basalt, limestone, and dolomite) on the compressive strength (f_c), flexural strength (f_r), and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of mortars exposed to freeze-thaw cycles (56, 86, 126, 186 and 226 cycles). Furthermore, the usability of artificial intelligence models is compared, and the prediction accuracy of the outputs is examined according to the inputs (powder type, replacement ratio, and the number of cycles). The results show that the variability of the outputs was significantly high under the freeze-thaw effect in mortars produced with waste powder instead of those produced with cement and with standard sand. The highest prediction accuracy for all outputs was obtained using the adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system model. The significantly high prediction accuracy was obtained for the UPV, f_c, and f_r of mortars produced using waste powders instead of standard sand (R² of UPV, f_c and f_f is 0.931, 0.759 and 0.825 respectively), when under the freeze-thaw effect. However, for the mortars produced using waste powders instead of cement, the prediction accuracy of UPV was significantly high (R²=0.889) but the prediction accuracy of f_c and f_r was low (R²f_c=0.612 and R²f_f=0.334).

This study investigates the influence of nano-silica and basalt fiber content, curing duration, and freeze-thaw cycles on the static and dynamic properties of soil specimens. A comprehensive series of tests, including Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), static triaxial, and dynamic triaxial tests, were conducted. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was employed to examine the microstructure of treated specimens. Results indicate that a combination of 1% fiber and 10% nano-silica yields optimal soil enhancement. The failure patterns of specimens varied significantly depending on the type of additive. Static triaxial tests revealed a notable reduction in the brittleness index (IB) with the inclusion of basalt fibers. Specimens containing 10% nano-silica and 1% fiber exhibited superior shear strength parameters and UCS. The highest cohesion and friction angle were obtained for treated specimens with 10% nano-silica and 1% fiber, 90 kPa and 37.8°, respectively. Furthermore, an increase in curing time led to a significant increase in UCS values for specimens containing nano-silica. Additionally, the addition of fiber resulted in a decrease in IB, while the addition of nano-silica led to an increase in IB. Increasing nano-silica content in stabilized specimens enhanced shear modulus while decreasing the damping ratio. Freeze-thaw cycles were found to decrease the cohesion of treated specimens based on the results of static triaxial tests. Specimens treated with 10% nano-silica and 1% fiber experienced a reduction in shear modulus and an increase in the damping ratio under freeze-thaw conditions. SEM analysis reveals dense microstructure in nano-silica stabilized specimens, enhanced adhesion of soil particles and fibers, and increased roughness on fiber surfaces.
