Shear behavior of granular soils largely affects the safety and stability of underground and earth structures. This study presents the characteristics of shear zone in a direct shear test using shear wave and electrical resistivity measurements. An innovative direct shear box made of transparent acrylic material has been developed to prevent direct electric current. Bender elements and electrical resistivity probe are embedded in the wall of direct shear box to estimate the shear wave velocities and the electrical resistivity at the shear and non-shear zones. Experimental results show that the void ratio and shear wave velocity at shear zone increase during shearing while the values remain constant at non-shear zone. The results demonstrate correlation among the contact force, small strain shear modulus, and void ratio at shear zone. This study suggests that the application of the modified direct shear box including shear wave and electrical resistivity measurements may become an effective tool for analyzing soil behavior at shear zone.

When a nail pulled out in dense, granular soil, the soil in the vicinity of the nail tends to dilate, but its dilatancy results in a normal stress concentration at the soil/nail interface, thereby increasing the pull-out resistance of the inclusion. It is thought to be occurring within the resistance zone where the soil mass is at stationary state and the reinforcement are held in position by the soil, due to the friction or bond. In this paper, A series of direct shear and interface tests were conducted by using so called‘Constant Normal Stiffness Test Apparatus’which was modified and improved from the conventional direct shear box test rig. Unlikely the normal shear box test, this enables to simulate the different constraint effects of surrounding soil during shear under the conditions of constant stress and volume, constant normal stiffness. The aim of the research programme is to get better understanding of pull-out bond mechanism, thus to explore the possibility of evaluating the pull-out bond capacity of soil/reinforcement at the preliminary design stage from the laboratory test.

본 연구의 주목적은 아스팔트 포장층간의 접착전단강도를 측정하는 실험법과 평가 방법을 개발하고 배수성 포장에 사용되는 택코트 재료의 특성과 적정 살포량을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험에는 두 종류(RSC-4, 개질유화)의 유화아스팔트와 가열 아스팔트바인더 타입(HM-1) 한 종류로 실시하였으며, HM-1은 배수성 포장에 사용하기 위해 새로 개발된 제품이다. 접착전단강도를 측정하기 위해 직접전단실험을 다양한 실험 조건에서 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 얻은 접착전단강도 값은 결과의 변별력이 떨어 졌으며 하중-변위 곡선의 면적인 터프니스가 접착전단강도를 평가하는데 보다 유용한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 배수성 포장의 경우 RSC-4의 경우는 $0.8l/m^2$ 이상, 개질유화아스팔트의 경우는 $0.5{\sim}0.6l/m^2$의 살포량이 적당한 것으로 나타났다. Trackless 성능이 우수한 HM-1은 유화 아스팔트 택코트에 비해 월등히 좋은 접착전단성능을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.

Based on an estimating method for post-cyclic strength and stiffness with cyclic triaxial tests, Direct Simple Shear (DSS) tests were carried out to confirm whether the method can be adapted to DSS test on fine-grained soils: silty clay, plastic silt, and non-plastic silt. Results from post-cyclic DSS tests were interpreted by a modified method as adopted for post-cyclic triaxial tests. In particular, influence of plasticity index for fine-grained soils was emphasised. Findings obtained from the present study are: (i) the higher the plasticity index of fine-grained soils is, the less not stiffness ratio but strength ratio decreases with increment of a normalised excess pore water pressure; and (ii) post-cyclic strength and stiffness results from DSS tests agree well with those predicted by the method modified from a procedure used for triaxial test results.

The importance of using materials cost effectively to enhance the strength and reduce the cost, and weight of earth fill materials in geotechnical engineering led researchers to seek for modifying the soil properties by adding proper additives. Lightweight fill materials made of soil, binder, water, and Expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are increasingly being used in geotechnical practices. This paper primarily investigates the behavior of sandy soil, modified by EPS particles. Besides, the mechanical properties of blending sand, EPS and the binder material such as fly ash and cement were examined in different mixing ratios using a number of various laboratory studies including the Modified Standard Proctor (MSP) test, the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and the Direct Shear test (DST). According to the results, an increase of 0.1% of EPS results in a reduction of the density of the mixture for 10%, as well as making the mixture more ductile rather than brittle. Moreover, the compressive strength, CBR value and shear strength parameters of the mixture decreases by an increase of the EPS beads, a trend on the contrary to the increase of cement and fly ash content.

Adhesion in geotechnical engineering is the interaction between cohesive soil and a solid surface which can cause clogging in mechanized tunnelling through clayey formations. Normal piston pull out and modified direct shear tests were performed on clayey soil samples to determine which type of adhesion stress, normal or tangential, could be most effectively measured. Measured values for normal adhesion ranged from 0.9 to 18 kPa. The range of tangential adhesion was 2.4 to 10 kPa. The results indicate normal adhesion results were more accurate than those for the modified direct shear test that measure tangential adhesion. Direct shear test on identical samples did not show any correlation between measured cohesion and normal adhesion values. Normal adhesion values have shown significantly meaningful variation with consistency index and so are compatible with the base of field clogging assessment criteria. But tangential adhesion and cohesion were not compatible with these assessment criteria.

조립토로 구성된 지반구조물의 안정성은 전단변형에 따른 전단영역의 특성변화에 의해 영향을받는다. 본 연구의 목적은 전단파와 전기비저항 및 콘 선단저항력을 이용하여 직접전단실험시 발생하는 전단영역의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 전단영역의 특성을 파악하기 위하여, 아크릴 재질로 직접전단상자를 제작하였으며, 직접전단상자의 벽면에는 전단파와 전기비저항의 측정을 위하여 벤더엘리먼트와 전기비저항 프로브를 설치하였다. 벤더엘리먼트와 전기비저항 프로브는 전단영역과 비전단영역에 각각 설치되어, 전단변형에 따른 조립토의 거동을 비교할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 콘 선단저항력을 측정할 수 있도록 개발한 마이크로 콘을 첨두강도상태와 잔류강도상태에서 관입하여 깊이에 따른 시료의 강도분포를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 바닥부근과 하부전단영역에서는 전단변형에 따른 전단파 속도는 일정하였지만, 상부전단영역에서의 전단파 속도는 증가하였다. 또한, 바닥부근의 전기비저항은 변화가 없는 반면, 하부전단영역에서 전기비저항은 상대밀도에 따라 수직변형률과 반비례관계로 나타났다. 콘 선단저항력의 변화도 전단파 속도의 변화와 유사하게 상부전단영역에서 큰 변화가 관찰되었다. 본 논문에서 제시한 직접전단실험시 전단파와 전기비저항을 관찰하는 것과 실험완료 후 콘 관입실험은 조립토의 전단영역 특성을 파악하기 위한 매우 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

마찰 방향에 따른 전단 저항의 이방성을 지반 구조물에서 선택적으로 이용할 수가 있다. 예를 들어서, 축방향으로 하중을 가하는 깊은 기초, 소일 네일링, 타이백 등은 큰 전단 저항이 유발되므로 하중 전달 능력을 증가시키지만, 이와 반대로 말뚝 관입과 흙 시료 채취 등은 최소화된 전단 저항만 유발된다. 기존 연구는 뱀 비늘의 기하학적 형상과 유사한 표면 돌출부를 갖는 플레이트와 흙 경계면에서 유발되는 전단 저항 변화를 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 표면 돌출부의 형상에 따른 경계면 마찰각의 변화를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 수정된 직접 전단 시험기를 이용하여 상대 밀도가 40%로 조성된 모래 시료에 대해 9개의 플레이트, 2개의 전단 방향(전단 시 돌출부 높이가 증가와 감소하는 방향), 그리고 3개의 초기 수직 응력(100kPa, 200kPa, 300kPa) 조건으로 총 51가지 경우를 실험 하였다. 실험 결과, 전단 응력은 돌출부 높이가 높을수록, 돌출부 길이가 짧을수록, 돌출부 높이가 증가하는 전단 방향에서 크게 나타났다.

The coarse grained materials are used in various construction field such as express way back fill, Dam etc. Especially, for dam construction, a huge mount of rock fill materials are needed, so around domestic stony mountains are generally developed to produce materials. Not an accurate theory, but design criteria is based on empirical factors that were constructed in advance for design of dam especially Concrete Face Rockfill Dam(CFRD). Considering the post facts, the modified design criteria are essential in the future with more theoretical and experimental ways. In this study, large scale direct shear tests are performed with various relative density conditions on coarse grained material of Yecheon area to compare test results and general CFRD design factors.

PURPOSES : A geo-grid pavement, e.g., a stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), can be applied to an asphalt-overlay method on the existing surface-pavement layer for pavement maintenance related to reflection cracking. Reflection cracking can occur when a crack in the existing surface layer influences the overlay pavement. It can reduce the pavement life cycle and adversely affect traffic safety. Moreover, a failed overlay can reduce the economic value. In this regard, the objective of this study is to evaluate the bonding properties between the rigid pavement and a SAMI by using the direct shear test and the pull-off test. The predicted fractural energy functions with the shear stress were determined from a numerical analysis of the moving average method and the polynomial regression method. METHODS : In this research, the shear and pull-off tests were performed to evaluate the properties of mixtures constructed using no interlayer, a tack-coat, and SAMI with fabric and without fabric. The lower mixture parts (describing the existing pavement) were mixed using the 25-40-8 joint cement-concrete standard. The overlay layer was constructed especially using polymer-modified stone mastic asphalt (SMA) pavement. It was composed of an SMA aggregate gradation and applied as the modified agent. The sixth polynomial regression equation and the general moving average method were utilized to estimate the interlayer shear strength. These numerical analysis methods were also used to determine the predictive models for estimating the fracture energy. RESULTS : From the direct shear test and the pull-off test results, the mixture bonded using the tack-coat (applied as the interlayer between the overlay layer and the jointed cement concrete) had the strongest shear resistance and bonding strength. In contrast, the SAMI pavement without fiber has a strong need for fractural energy at failure. CONCLUSIONS : The effects of site-reflection cracking can be determined using the same tests on cored specimens. Further, an empirical-mechanical finite-element method (FEM) must be done to understand the appropriate SAMI application. In this regard, the FEM application analy pavement-design analysis using thesis and bonding property tests using cored specimens from public roads will be conducted in further research.
