The present study is dedicated to investigate the SH body-as well as Love-waves propagation effects in porous media with uncertain porosity and permeability. A unified formulation of the governing equations for one-dimensional (1-D) wave propagation in anisotropic porous layered media is presented deterministically. The uncertainties around the above two cited parameters are taken into account by random fields with the help of Monte Carlo Simulations (MCS). Random samples of the porosity and the permeability are generated according to the normal and lognormal distribution functions, respectively, with a mean value and a coefficient of variation for each one of the two parameters. After performing several thousands of samples, the mathematical expectation (mean) of the solution of the wave propagation equations in terms of amplification functions for SH waves and in terms of dispersion equation for Love-waves are obtained. The limits of the Love wave velocity in a porous soil layer overlaying a homogeneous half-space are obtained where it is found that random variations of porosity change the zeros of the wave equation. Also, the increase of uncertainties in the porosity (high coefficient of variation) decreases the mean amplification function amplitudes and shifts the fundamental frequencies. However, no effects are observed on both Love wave dispersion and amplification function for random variations of permeability. Lastly, the present approach is applied to a case study in the Adapazari town basin so that to estimate ground motion accelerations lacked in the fast-growing during the main shock of the damaging 1999 Kocaeli earthquake.

X-ray micro-CT를 이용한 지반재료 내부 미세구조 및 공극구조의 정밀한 이미지 처리는 종종 이미지 내에 원천적으로 포함되는 화상결함으로 인해 제약된다. 본 논문에서는 X-ray micro-CT 이미지에 가장 일반적으로 나타나는 화상결함인 패임(영상 외곽과 중심부의 명암 차이) 및 동심원상(영상 중심으로부터 방사방향으로 연속적으로 나타나는 원)을 제거할 수 있는 이미지 보정 기법을 제시한다. 결함 제거는 좌표 변환법, 정규화 및 2차원 푸리에 변환에 의한 저역 통과 필터링 기법의 순차적 적용을 통해 이루어진다. 이미지 처리 기법의 효과를 다공성 현무암의 CT 이미지에서 화상결함들을 제거하고 이진화 후 적층하여 3차원 공극 구조를 추출하는 과정을 통해 설명하였다. 패임 및 동심원상 결함을 제거한 이미지와 원본 이미지의 비교 결과 결함 제거는 대상 재료 공극률의 과대평가를 방지할 수 있으며, 따라서 화상결함의 적절한 보정은 X-ray CT의 지반재료 적용 시 필수적인 과정으로 판단된다.

교통하중이 작용하는 기초지반의 성능 및 도로하부 지반에서의 변형예측을 위해서는 반복적인 교통하중하에서의 장기변형 예측이 필요하다. 그러나 도로와 철도와 같은 다층시스템에서의 장기변형을 예측하는 것은 쉽지 않은 일이다. 따라서 보다 정량적인 해석을 위해서는 적절한 해석방식, 재료모형, 그리고 재료의 상수들을 통한 역학-경험적인 방식이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반복 교통하중에 의한 응력의존적인 기초 지반재료의 장기변형 거동 파악을 위해 반복 하중의 응력수준과 함수비 조건이 고려된 반복재하 장기변형실험을 실시한 결과를 분석하고 해석에 활용하였다. 여러 응력상태조건에서 기초 지반재료의 장기변형 특성이 반영된 유한요소해석을 실시하였고 장기변형 예측모델의 실내시험규모에서의 적용성을 평가하였다.

A constitutive model was implemented in ABAQUS code. The constitutive equation can model the behavior for overall range of strain level from small to large deformation, which is based on anisotropic hardening rule and total stress concept. The formulation includes (1) finite strain formulation on the basis of Jaumann rate, (2) implicit stress integration and (3) consistent tangent moduli. Therefore the mathematical background was established in order that large deformation analysis can be performed accurately and efficiently with the anisotropic constitutive model. In the large deformation analyses, geometric nonlinearity was considered and the result of analyses with the proposed model was compared with that of Mises model for the overall strain range behavior.

암석과 같은 지반재료를 전단하게 되면 응력-변형률관계에서 변형률연화현상이 관찰되어진다. 변형률연화현상은 지반공학문제에서 논하고 있는 파괴거동현상과 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 그 거동을 묘사할 수 있는 수치해석방법의 확립이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 대변형 탄소성유한요소법을 이용하여 지반재료의 파괴거동를 묘사하기 위해서 재료의 연화성질을 도입하여 해석하는 경우, 고려해야 할 요소의 선택, 배치, 초기부정의 영향, 미소변형과 대변형 해석의 차이, 최고점 하중후의 하중제어를 하기 위한 변위제어 및 압력제어의 차이에 대하여 검토하였다.

Soil-aggregate system in pavement foundations exist in unsaturated conditions. However, change in water content on foundation layers due to joint and structural cracks during rainfall may cause problems like layer deformations or partial settlements. Therefore, a need exist to evaluate the infiltration and drainage capacity of soil-aggregate foundation system under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. To do that, a laboratory soil-water characteristic curve and permeability under unsaturated conditions are assessed to establish hydraulic properties of geomaterials and limited numerical analysis are performed respectively. As a result, it was found that suction profiles and drainage process was greatly influenced by the initial suction of soil-aggregate system at the time of infiltration, soil water characteristics curves, and hysteresis effects.

It is well known that the peak strength envelope of geomaterials with no cohesion, such as sand, gravel and rockfill, exhibits significant curvature over a range of stresses. In a practical design of slope, however, the linear Mohr-Coulomb's failure envelope is used as a failure criterion and consequently gives inaccurate safety factors, especially for some ranges of small normal stresses on shallow failure surfaces. Necessity of a nonlinear shear strength envelope in slope stability analysis is on this point. Hence, this study describes how to evaluate nonlinear shear strength of gravel fill materials using the results of large triaxial tests under consolidated-drained condition, and compares the safety factors from slope stability analyses for a homogeneous gravel fill or rockfill embankment incorporating the non-linearity of strength, so as to show its effects on safety factors.

Better understanding of in-situ mechanical behavior of pavement foundations is very important to predict long-term effects on the system performance of transport infrastructure. In order to do that, resilient stiffness characterization of geomaterals is needed to properly adopt such mechanistic analysis under both traffic and environmental loadings. In this paper, in situ monitoring data from KHC test road was used to analyze the non-linearity of stress conditions under traffic and moisture loadings. Then, the predicted non-linear response using finite element method with a selected constitutive model of foundation geomaterials are verified with the field data.

In this study, cyclic triaxial tests were carried out with the coarse granular materials used in Korean railway infrastructure (reinforced trackbed, gravel of transition zone, upper subgrade of railway) and Young's modulus for the target materials in small strain level were suggested. And the result of elastic modulus suggested in this study is expected to be effectively applied to dynamic analysis of the railway embankment structure using similar material, since the grain size distributions and unit weight of the material tested in this study are specified in Korean Railway Design Criteria.

Geotechnical limit state design methods; LRFD of North America is an approach that estimates resistance using design model and then multiplies resistance factor by calculated resistance to reflect the uncertainty of geomaterials and design models; whereas, Eurocode of the Europe employs the partial resistance factor applied directly to each variable in the resistance equation that individual soil properties such as cohesion and angle of internal friction are applied. This discussion paper is a study on characteristic value which has globally been argued through processing of development of Eurocode 7 for geotechnical design even to the present. Estimating the characteristic value of soil properties affects not only determination of design value applied directly to design of geotechnical structures, but also economic feasibility and stability of the structures.
