In the design of geotechnical structures, engineers choose either peak or critical state friction angles. Unfortunately, this selection is based on engineer's preference for economy or safety and lacks the assessment of the expected level of deformation. To fill this gap in the design process, this study proposes a strain based empirical method. Proposed method is founded on the experimentally supported assumption that higher dilatancy angles result in more brittle soil response. Using numerous triaxial test data on ten different soils, an empirical design chart is developed that allows the estimation of shear strain at failure based on soil's peak dilatancy angle and mean grain diameter. Developed empirical chart is verified by conducting a small scale retaining wall physical model test. Finally, a design methodology is proposed that makes the selection of design friction angle in structured way possible based on the serviceability limits of the proposed structure.

This study was concerned with the influence of reaction conditions on the surface friction properties of Syrene-Butadiene Rubber(SBR) sheet when it was chlorinated by chemical treatment method using the sodium hypochlorite and sulfuric acid. The results of this study were as follows. SEM photographs of chlorinated SBR surface showed uneven etching caused by the chlorination. In the FTIR spectra, the intensity of C=C peak of SBR was decreased with increasing the concentration of sodium hypochlorite. Otherwise there was no trace of C=C peak in spectrum of SBR treated with 5 wt% NaOCl with pH 0.1 for 90 seconds. EDX spectra showed that relative content of chlorine of SBR was increased with increasing the amount of sodium hypochlorite, and also affected with pH condition of acid solution. Friction angle and friction coefficient of SBR were influenced with concentration of sodium hypochlorite, but were not with pH condition of acid solution.

본 연구에서는 제주해사에 대한 일련의 삼축압축시험을 수행하여 파쇄성이 큰 제주 탄산염 모래의 한계상태정수를 결정하였다. 제주해사는 입자의 모난 정도가 크고 입자표면과 내부에 다수의 공극이 발달되어 전형적인 탄산염 모래의 특성을 보인다. 제주해사는 큰 최대, 최소 간극비와 큰 압축성 때문에 전단 시 압축거동이 지배적이었다. 구속압이 증가할수록 입자가 파쇄되어 제주해사의 첨두마찰각이 다소 감소하였으나, 일반적인 규산염 모래의 마찰각보다는 다소 큰 것이 관찰되었다. 제주해사의 한계상태 마찰각은 평균유효응력이 증가할수록 점차 감소하였으나, 시료의 간극비가 제주해사의 한계상태에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. 제주해사의 한계상태 정수는 여타의 탄산염 모래와 유사하였으나, 일반적인 규산염 모래보다는 매우 크게 결정되었다.

Laboratory determination of strength and deformation behavior of clean sands and gravels has always been challenging due to the difficulty in obtaining their undisturbed samples. An alternative solution to this problem is to develop correlations between mechanical properties of cohesionless soils and their gradation characteristics. This study presents database of 3 natural sands with 11 varying particle size gradation curves to allow investigating relationships between mean particle size, maximum and minimum void ratio, relative density and shear strength of the test soils. Direct shear tests were performed at relative densities of 50, 75 and 95% to explore the effects of gradation and density on the angle of internal friction of the modeled sand samples. It is found that the mean grain size D₅₀ bears good correlations with void ratio range (e_max - e_min) and peak angle of internal friction 𝜙'_peak. The generated regression models are in good agreement with published literature and can be considered as reliable for natural sands in Pakistan. These empirical correlations can save considerable time and efforts involved in laboratory and field testing.

In this paper, reinforcement of soil shear strength by bamboo(substitute materials simulating a root system) are evaluated by soil strength parameters(apparent cohesion(c) and internal friction angle(tan${\Phi}$)), using simple shear tester which clearly depicts shear deformation and controls soil suction. The results show that the internal friction angle does not change under various soil suction conditions but the apparent cohesion, which reach a peak in suction of 45cm$H_2O$ near critical capillary head, is effected by soil suction. And the reinforcement of soil strength by bamboo are expressed by apparent cohesion more than internal friction angle. In addition the increment of apparent cohesion by bamboo reached a peak in suction 45cm$H_2O$ too.

본 연구에서는 영상처리 기법을 이용해 총 9개의 모래 시료의 형상을 정량화하여 전단강도와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 시료는 6개의 자연모래 시료와 3개의 부순모래 시료이며 이를 고해상도 3차원 X-ray CT 촬영하여 그로부터 개별 입자 영상을 분리하고 구형도(Sphericity) 및 이완도(Elongation)와 같은 형상 계수를 통해 모래 시편의 형상을 정량화 하였다. 또한 시료의 상대밀도를 다르게 조성하여 직접전단시험을 수행해 첨두내부마찰각(Peak friction angle)과 극한내부마찰각(Critical state friction angle)을 획득하였다. 시료의 구형도가 감소하고 이완도가 증가할수록, 첨두내부마찰각과 극한내부마찰각은 유사한 기울기를 보이며 증가함을 확인하였으며 두 내부마찰각 사이 절댓값 차이는 입자 형상보다는 상대밀도 차이로부터 기인함을 확인하였다.

The present study evaluates the interface shear strength between sand and different construction materials, namely steel and concrete, using direct shear test apparatus. The influence of surface roughness, mean size of sand particles, relative density of sand and size of the direct shear box on the interface shear behavior of sand with steel and concrete has been investigated. Test results show that the surface roughness of the construction materials significantly influences the interface shear strength. The peak and residual interface friction angles increase rapidly up to a particular value of surface roughness (critical surface roughness), beyond which the effect becomes negligible. At critical surface roughness, the peak and residual friction angles of the interfaces are 85-92% of the peak and residual internal friction angles of the sand. The particle size of sand (for morphologically identical sands) significantly influences the value of critical surface roughness. For the different roughness considered in the present study, both the peak and residual interaction coefficients lie in the range of 0.3-1. Moreover, the peak and residual interaction coefficients for all the interfaces considered are nearly identical, irrespective of the size of the direct shear box. The constitutive modeling of different interfaces followed the experimental investigation and it successfully predicted the pre-peak, peak and post peak interface shear response with reasonable accuracy. Moreover, the predicted stress-displacement relationship of different interfaces is in good agreement with the experimental results. The findings of the present study may also be applicable to other non-yielding interfaces having a similar range of roughness and sand properties.

Dilatancy is a unique characteristics of granular materials showing the tendency to change volume upon shearing. In this study large triaxial tests were peformed for both the well graded rock and the poorly graded rock. And the shear strength of rockfill materials considering dilatancy is evaluated based on the test results. For the rock materials of this study the contribution of dilatancy in the maximum internal friction angle is as much as -6.0%∼3.0% of the internal friction angle measured at peak

지반구조물에서는 흙과 구조물 사이의 상호 마찰 특성이 구조물에 작용하는 하중과 저항 분석에 큰 영향을 미친다. 일반적으로 지반구조물의 주재료로서 콘크리트 또는 강재가 많이 사용되며, 흙 입자 크기와 비교하여 마찰면의 거칠기 정도에 따라 경계면 마찰 특성이 큰 차이를 보인다. 특히 비신장성 보강재를 사용하는 보강토 옹벽, 말뚝 주면, 옹벽면 등의 지반구조물에 대해서는 흙과 구조물 사이의 마찰특성을 합리적으로 분석하여 구조물의 안전성을 확보하여야 한다. 구조물면과 사질토 사이의 마찰특성에 대하여 보다 정확한 예측식을 제시하고 이 예측식이 가지고 있는 불확실성을 제시하는 것은 지반-지반구조물의 신뢰성 분석에 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 양질의 연구 문헌들에 보고된 흙과 거칠기가 다른 면 사이의 마찰실험결과를 분석하여, 강재와 사질토 사이의 첨두 경계면 마찰각을 구하는 식을 제안하였다. 첨두 경계면 마찰각을 결정하는 주요인자는 경계면의 상대조도, 흙의 상대밀도, 구속압, 한계상태 경계면 마찰각이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 첨두 경계면 마찰각 예측식에 대한 불확실성을 통계적으로 Goodness-of-fit 시험 결과를 반영하여 평가하였다.

The directional response of strength and deformation on the rocks acting by external loads is called by strength and deformability anisotropy, respectively. Peak strength and its failure criteria of anisotro rocks have been studied and reported. Many authors have investigated in detail the behavior of triaxial peak strength of anisotropic rocks(Jaeger 1960, McLamore & Gray 1967, Hoek & Brown 1980, Ramamurthy & Rao 1985). They concluded that the triaxial strength of anisotropic rocks varies according to the inclination of discontinuity in specimens. And, the minimun triaxial strength occurs in the specmen with 60° of inclination angle ; and specimens with 0° or 90° inclination have maximum triaxial strength. Based on the experimental result, the behavior triaxial strength is investigated. The triaxial compression tests due to the angle bedding plane have been conducted and the material constants, 'm' and 's', cohesion and angle of friction and nonlinear strength parameters to fit for the failure criterion were derived from the regression analysis. And, the experimental date are employed to examine three existing failure criteria for peak strength, provided by Jaeger, McLamore and Hoek & Brown and Ramamurthy & Rao. For a shale, the suitability of the failure criteiria of triaxial peak strength for anisotropic rocks is discussed.
