In order to study the effects of shell contents on the liquefaction resistance of the shelly sand, NGI cyclic simple shear tests were performed for the shelly sands with shell contents of 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% under the effective vertical stress of 50kPa, 100kPa and 150kPa for 40% and 55% of relative density, respectively. Cyclic simple shear test results showed that for the low effective vertical stress, liquefaction resistance increased rapidly with the increase of shell contents in both 40% and 55% relative density. On the other hand, for the high effective vertical stress, the liquefaction resistance increased slightly in 40% relative density whereas the resistance was almost same in 55% relative density. Liquefaction resistance decreased with increasing effective vertical stress for both 40% and 55% relative density. In the same effective vertical stress and shell contents, liquefaction resistance increased with the increase of relative density of sands.

Understanding the post-liquefaction shear behavior is crucial for predicting and assessing the damage, such as lateral flow, caused by liquefaction. Most studies have focused on the behavior until liquefaction occurs. In this study, we performed undrained multi-stage tests on clean sand, sand-silt mixtures, and silty soils to investigate post-liquefaction shear strain based on soil compressibility. The results confirmed that it is necessary to consider the soil compressibility and the shape of soil particles to understand the post-liquefaction shear strain characteristics. Based on this, an index reflecting soil compressibility and particle shape was derived, and the results showed a high correlation with post-liquefaction small resistance characteristic regardless of soil type and fine particle content.

This study investigates the effects of loading frequency (f) and specimen size on the liquefaction resistance of clean sand. A series of cyclic direct simple shear tests were conducted on Jumunjin sand with varying consolidated relative densities (40% and 80%), f values (0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 Hz), and diameter to height (D/H) ratios (3.63, 3.18, 2.82, and 2.54). The results demonstrated the significant influence of f and D/H ratio on the number of cycles to liquefaction (N_cyc-liq) and the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR₁₅). It was observed that increasing f linearly increased N_cyc-liq. Increasing the specimen height also led to higher N_cyc-liq values irrespective of the f or relative density. Moreover, a positive correlation between CRR₁₅ and f indicated that higher f yielded higher CRR₁₅. This relationship was more pronounced in dense sand than in loose sand. Specimen height also significantly affected CRR₁₅, with increasing the specimen height resulting in higher CRR₁₅ values. Furthermore, the effect of f on CRR₁₅ was less significant compared to the influence of specimen height. The effect of f on the normalized cyclic resistance ratio (NCRR) was relatively negligible for loose sand but more substantial for dense sand depending on the D/H ratio. Data analysis revealed that the NCRR generally decreases as the D/H ratio increases. An interpolation formula was provided to calculate the NCRR based on the D/H ratio regardless of the f and relative density.

Cyclic triaxial and resonant column tests were conducted to understand the beneficial effects of various grouted sands on liquefaction resistance and dynamic properties. The test procedures were performed on a variety of grouted sands, such as silicate-grouted sand, silicate-cement grouted sand and cement-grouted sand. For each type of grout, sand specimen was mixed with a 3.5% and 5% grout by volume. The specimens were tested at a curing age of 3, 7, 28 and 91 days, and the results of the cyclic stress ratio, the maximum shear modulus and the damping ratio were obtained during the testing program. The influence of important parameters, including the type of grout, grout content, shear strain, confining pressure, and curing age, were investigated. Results indicated that sodium silicate grout does not improve the liquefaction resistance and shear modulus; however, silicate-cement and cement grout remarkably increased the liquefaction resistance and shear modulus. Shear modulus decreased and damping ratio increased with an increase in the amplitude of shear strain. The effect of confining pressure on clean sand and sodium silicate grouted sand was found to be insignificant. Furthermore, a nonlinear regression analysis was used to prove the agreement of the shear modulus-shear strain relation presented by the hyperbolic law for different grouted sands, and the coefficients of determination, $R^2$, were nearly greater than 0.984.

해안 연약지반 개량공사에 사용되는 모래는 대부분 다소간의 패각을 함유하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 패각 함유량이 패각질모래의 액상화 저항에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 중량비에 의해 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%의 패각을 함유한 모래의 입도를 조성하고 건조퇴적 방법으로 상대밀도가 40%와 55%인 공시체를 성형하여 50kPa, 100kPa, 150kPa의 압밀유효연직응력으로 NGI형 직접단순전단시험기를 이용해서 반복단순전단시험을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 압밀유효연직응력이 낮을 경우에는 상대밀도가 40%, 55% 모두 패각 함유량이 많아질수록 액상화강도가 크게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 압밀유효연직응력이 높을 경우에는 상대 밀도가 40%일 경우 약간 증가하는 경향을 얻었으나 상대밀도가 55%일 경우에는 거의 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 결과를 얻었다. 그리고 상대밀도에 관계없이 압밀유효연직응력이 증가하면 액상화 저항이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 같은 압밀유효연직응력과 패각함유량에서 상대밀도가 높아질수록 액상화강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The results of an experimental study on Saemangeum dredged sands are presented. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed with there different initial relative densities, namely 18, 34, and 50%, intend to evaluate undrained Behavior. All undrained triaxial compression tests were performed under static loading conditions. Undrained triaxial compression tests were exhibited complete static liquefaction, zero effective confining pressure and zero stress difference at lower confining pressures. As confining pressures were increased, the effective stress paths indicated increasing resistance to static liquefaction by showing increasing dilatant tendencies. The fines and larger particles create a particle structure with high compressibility at lower confining pressure. The effect of increasing relative density was to increase the resistance of the sand against static liquefaction by making the sand more dilatant.

액상화 구성모델의 입력변수는 실내외 실험 등을 통해 지반 및 하중 조건에 적합한 값을 결정하는 것이 중요하지만, 설계 실무에서는 시험수행의 어려움 등으로 입력변수의 결정 및 해석결과의 검증이 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 반복 직접전단시험에 대한 수치모델링을 수행하여 액상화 구성모델 중 Finn 모델과 PM4Sand 모델의 적용성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, Finn 모델은 과잉간극수압의 최대값 도달시점은 모사할 수 있었지만 항복 이후의 과잉간극수압 응답 및 응력-변형률 거동을 모사하는데 한계가 있었다. 이에 반해, PM4Sand 모델은 액상화 도달시점 및 및 액상화 이후의 응력-변형률 거동을 잘 모사할 수 있었다. 최종적으로, 설계조건에 맞는 액상화 저항전단응력비 CRR을 모사할 수 있는 액상화 모델의 입력변수 산정절차를 제안하고 PM4Sand 모델의 입력변수를 산정하는 간편식을 제안하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour of saturated silty sand under monotonic loading conditions. The undrained soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed at different confining pressures, void ratios and overconsolidation ratios and the samples were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain monotonic loading conditions. It is shown that increasing confining pressures, void ratios and overconsoildation ratios increases the deviator stress, but it has no effect on increasing the dilatant tendencies. It is shown that complete static liquefaction was observed regardless of increases in the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsolidation ratio. Therefore, the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsoildation ratio does not provide significant effects on the liquefaction resistance of the silty sand. The presence of fines in the soil was shown to greatly increase the potential for static liquefaction and creates a particle structure with high compressibility for all cases.
