The objective of this paper is to experimentally study the consolidation of saturated silty clay subjected to repeated heating-cooling cycles using a modified temperature-controlled triaxial apparatus. Focus is placed on the influence of the water content, confining pressure, and magnitudes and number of thermal loading cycles. The experimental results show that the thermally induced pore pressure increases with increasing water content and magnitude of thermal loading in undrained conditions. After isothermal consolidation at an elevated temperature, the pore pressure continues to decrease and gradually falls below zero during undrained cooling, and the maximum negative pore pressure increases as the water content decreases or the magnitude of thermal loading increases. During isothermal consolidation at ambient temperature after one heating-cooling cycle, the pore pressure begins to rise due to water absorption and finally stabilizes at approximately zero. As the number of thermal loading cycles increases, the thermally induced pore pressure shows a degrading trend, which seems to be more apparent under a higher confining pressure. Overall, the specimens tested show an obvious volume reduction at the completion of a series of heating-cooling cycles, indicating a notable irreversible thermal consolidation deformation.

The prediction of soil response under repetitive mechanical loadings remains challenging in geotechnical engineering applications. Modeling the cyclic soil response requires a robust model validation with an experimental dataset. This study proposes a unique method adopting linearity of model constant with the number of cycles. The model allows the prediction of the terminal density of sediments when subjected to repetitive changes in pore-fluid pressure based on the two-surface plasticity. Model simulations are analyzed in combination with an experimental dataset of sandy sediments when subjected to repetitive changes in pore fluid pressure under constant deviatoric stress conditions. The results show that the modified plastic moduli in the two-surface plasticity model appear to be critical for determining the terminal density. The methodology introduced in this study is expected to contribute to the prediction of the terminal density and the evolution of shear strain at given repetitive loading conditions.

하루에 두번씩 10m의 진폭을 가지고 조위(潮位)가 계속해서 변화(變化)한다고 가정하여 한 대표적인 호안제(護岸提) 단면에 대해 사면안정해석(斜面安定解析)을 행한다. 조위(潮位)가 변화(變化)하는 동안 호안제내(護岸提內) 간극수압(間隙水壓)의 변화(變化)는 전산 프로그램 "FLUMP"에 의해 수행되며 이 프로그램은 포화(飽和)흐름은 물론 비포화(非飽和)흐름과 비정상(非正常) 흐름까지 고려될 수 있도록 짜여져 있다. 이 프로그램으로 얻어진 결과는 조위변동시(潮位變動時)의 자유수면(自由水面) 변화(變化)와 정(正) 및 부간극수압(負間隙水壓)의 크기와 분포를 명확하게 결정할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 조위(潮位)가 최저(最低)까지 내려갔을 때 제체내(堤體內) 어느 부분에서는 압력수두(壓力水頭)가 자유수면(自由水面)의 높이보다 더 높게 나타난다. 즉 이것은 조위변동(潮位變動)을 받는 호안제(護岸堤)의 일부에 과잉간극수압(過剩間隙水壓)이 발생함을 의미한다. 또한 부간극수압(負間隙水壓)이 나타나는 불포화영역(不飽和領域)이 조위강하시(潮位降下時)에 일시적(一時的)으로 발생한다. 이 불포화영역(不飽和領域)의 흙의 전단강도(剪斷强度)는 간극수압(間隙水壓)이 정(正)의 상태로부터 부(負)로 바뀔때 증가(增加)되며 이 값은 Fredlund 등이 제안한 방법에 따라 결정될 수 있다. 호안제(護岸堤) 사면(斜面)의 안정해석(安定解析)에 있어서는 조위변동시(潮位變動時) 발생되는 과잉간극수압(過剩間隙水壓)과 불포화영역(不飽和領域)의 부간극수압(負間隙水壓)이 반드시 고려되어야 한다는 것을 이 논문에서 강조하고 있다. 이것들이 고려되었을 때 임계활동원은 조위(潮位)가 최저(最低)로 되었을 때 얻어지는 자유수면(自由水面)보다 아래에 존재하는 것 같다.

This paper deals with the accumulated damage in concrete structures due to the cyclic freeze-thaw as an environmental load. The cyclic ice body nucleation and growth processes in porous systems are affected by the thermo-physical and mass transport properties, and gradients of temperature and chemical potentials. Furthermore, the diffusivity of deicing chemicals shows significantly higher value under cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Consequently, the disintegration of concrete structures is aggravated at marine environments, higher altitudes, and northern areas. However, the properties of cyclic freeze-thaw with crack growth and diffusion of chloride ion effects are hard to be identified in tests, and there has been no analytic model for the combined degradations. The main objective is to determine the driving force and evaluate the reduced strength and stiffness by freeze-thaw. For the development of computational model of those coupled deterioration, micro-pore structure characterization, pore pressure based on the thermodynamic equilibrium, time and temperature dependent super-cooling with or without deicing salts, nonlinear-fracture constitutive relation for the evaluation of internal damage, and the effect of entrained air pores (EA) has been modeled numerically. As a result, the amount of ice volume with temperature dependent surface tensions, freezing pressure and resulting deformations, and cycle and temperature dependent pore volume has been calculated and compared with available test results. The developed computational program can be combined with DuCOM, which can calculate the early aged strength, heat of hydration, micro-pore volume, shrinkage, transportation of free water in concrete. Therefore, the developed model can be applied to evaluate those various practical degradation cases as well.

When some enormous earthquake hazards broke out in the neighboring Japan and Taiwan, many Korean earthquake engineers thought that seismic guidelines must be adjusted safely and economically to consider the moderate earthquake characteristics. In the present aseismic guideline for liquefaction potential assessment, a simplified method using SPT-N value and a detail method based on the dynamic lab-tests were introduced. However, it is said that these methods based on the equivalent stress concept to simplify an irregular earthquake are not reliable to simulate the kaleidoscopical characteristics of earthquake loading correctly. Especially, even though various data from the dynamic lab-test can be obtained, only two data, a maximum cyclic load and a number of cycle at an initial liquefaction are used to determine the soil resistance strength in the detailed method. In this study, a new assessment of liquefaction potential is proposed and verified. In the proposed assessment, various data from dynamic lab-tests are used to determine the unique soil resistance characteristic and a site specific analysis is introduced to analyze the irregular earthquake time history itself. Also, it is found that the proposed assessment is reasonable because it is devised to reflect the changeable soil behavior under dynamic loadings resulted from the generation and development of excess pore water pressure.

This study introduces the case of pipelines installed in subsea conditions and buried offshore. Such installations generate pore water pressure under the seabed because of cyclic wave excitation, which is an environmental load, and consistent cyclic wave loading that reduce the soil shear strength of the seabed, possibly leading to liquefaction. Therefore, in view of the liquefaction of the seabed, stability of the subsea pipelines should be examined via calculations using a simple method for buried subsea pipelines and floating structures. Particularly, for studying the possible liquefaction of the seabed in regard to subsea pipelines, high waves of a 10- and 100-year period and the number of occurrences that are affected by the environment within a division cycle of 90 s should be applied. However, when applying significant wave heights (HS), the number of occurrences within a division cycle of 3 h are required to be considered. Furthermore, to research whether dynamic vertical load affect the seabed, mostly a linear wave is used; this is particularly necessary to apply for considering the liquefaction of the seabed in the case of pile structure or subsea pipeline installation.

Reverse osmosis seawater desalination facilities can extend the cleaning cycle and replacement time of the reverse osmosis membrane by pretreatment process. Selection of pretreatment process depends on water quality. It was attempted in this study to select approriate pretreatment process for the Masan bay, which was high in particles and organic content. For this purpose, performances of pretreatment processes such as filter adsorber (FA), pore controllable fiber (PCF), and ultrafiltration (UF) were compared based on the silt density index (SDI). The SDI value of the filtrate should be less than 3. The study results showed that UF can produce the filtrate quality satisfying the requirement. However, the transmembrane pressure (TMP) of UF increased quickly, reaching 0.6 bar within 4 days. In order to secure stable operation, FA and PCF were combined with UF. The study results showed that combination of PCF and UF was able to extend the filtration duration (more than 2 months) until to reach TMP of 0.6 bar.

This study was performed for the purpose of analyzing the effect of tide on the stress-strain behavior in the boundary surface of sea dike embankment. Tide is a dynamic condition, but there are not suitable numerical models to solve the dynamic embankment condition caused by tide. So the analysis was simplified to quasi dynamic as follow. First, seepage by tide was analyzed according to elapsed time, and the results of the analysis at every hour during one periodic cycle time of 12 hours were applied to the pore water pressure conditions of stress-strain analysis with hyperbolic model by Duncan and Chang. The place at which maximum shear strain took place in the analysis result moved up and down repeatedly along the boundary of the dredged sand fill section and the crashed stone filter section. The value of maximum shear strain was large at high water level of tide. This result means that contraction and relaxation occur in turn repeatedly at every specific position along the boundary, and the repeated action compact loose position with sand moved down from the upper position by gravity. The experiment with the small sea dike model showed the result consistent with the numerical analysis. The surface of sea side on the dike collapsed at high water level after a couple of repetition of the rising and falling of water.

본 연구에서는 슬래그를 다량 치환한 콘크리트의 동결융해 저항성능에 미치는 미세공극의 영향을 검토하였다. 콘크리트는 용선예비처리 슬래그가 포함된 고로슬래그 미분말을 0, 40, 70 % 치환하여 제조하였으며 압축강도 특성 및 동결융해 저항성능과 미세공극을 검토하였다. 또한 설계기준강도와 목표공기량을 설정하고, 동결융해 작용에 따른 열화를 확인하기 위하여 재령 14일의 낮은 압축강도로 인한 내력저하를 유도하였다. 실험결과, 설계기준강도를 유사하게 설정하고 목표공기량을 확보하였음에도 불구하고 콘크리트의 미세공극 분포가 상이한 결과를 나타내었다. GGBS70 시험체는 동결융해를 받지 않은 초기 0사이클에서 10~100 nm 크기의 공극량이 가장 적어 공극 내 동결할 수 있는 물의 양이 적을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 이유로 다른 시험체에 비해 동결팽창압력이 상대적으로 작기 때문에 동결융해 저항성능이 우수한 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 Biot의 압밀이론을 유한요소법에 의해 해석하는 데 있어 수정 Cam-clay model과 해석 기법으로서는 Christian Boehmer방법을 사용한 것이다. 특히 본 해석에 있어서 압밀의 시간간격과 요소의 분할은 정도와 경제성의 관점에서 연구하였다. 나아가 본 프르그램의 정확을 조사하기 인하여 본 프로그램에 Terzaghi의 정해에 의한 일차원추밀의 해석을 시도하여 그 정상성을 확인하고 또한 Magnan이 연구목적으로 수행한 프랑스의 Cubzac-les-ponts에서 시험성토의 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 주요결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 일차원압밀의 평우에 배수층에 가까이 갈수록 요소를 세분하면 수치해석에서 더 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 2. 상간간격에 대해서는 1 log cycle당 20회로 하면 안정된다. 3. 긴 배수거리를 갖는 요소에서는 Mandel-cryer 효과가 시간지연과 더불어 일어난다. 4. 본 프로그램에 의해 예측된 초기하중 단계에서 축변위는 성토하중으로 산하는 것 보다도 강성을 주는 Mesh화한 것이 관측치와 잘 일치한다. 5. 본 프로그램에 의해 예측된 간극수압은 Magnan결과와 비교해 볼 때 관측치와 더 잘 일치 한다.
