Earthquake motion is one of the most significant influence factors on the slope stability. In this paper, an effective stress analysis with the elasto-plastic model was carried out to investigate the behavior of the slope stability subjected to the successive two strong earthquake motions, fore and main shock. The major influence of fore shock to the slope stability was considered as the existence of the residual excess pore water pressure. The paper presents the influence of the existence of the fore shock to slope stability using the numerical analyses. In conclusion, the excess pore pressure by the fore shock was not dissipated during the 7hrs of consolidation. By this residual excess pore water pressure, the factor of safety at the sliding face showed the minimum values, and the deformations of slope was large when compared with the case that considered the main shock only. Furthermore, the minimum of the factor of safety came out after the end of the earthquake motion.

This paper presents a study regarding the influence of various water levels on the characteristics of subgrade mud pumping through a self-developed test instrument. The characteristics of mud pumping are primarily reflected by axial strain, excess pore water pressure, and fine particle migration. The results show that the axial strain increases nonlinearly with an increase in cycles number; however, the increasing rate gradually decreases, thus, an empirical model for calculating the axial strain of the samples is presented. The excess pore water pressure increases rapidly first and then decreases slowly with an increase in cycles number. Furthermore, the dynamic stress within the soil first rapidly decreases and then eventually slows. The results indicate that the axial strain, excess pore water pressure, and the height and weight of the migrated fine particles decrease significantly with a low water level. In this study, when the water level is 50 mm lower than the subgrade soil surface, the issue of subgrade mud pumping no longer exist.

지중에 건설되는 터널은 대부분 지하수위 하부에 위치하므로 지하수 처리문제는 터널의 장기운영에 있어 매우 중요하다. 배수형 터널의 경우 수리기능이 원활하면 라이닝에 수압이 작용하지 않으나 장기 운영으로 인해 배수시스템의 열화가 진행되면서 라이닝 배면에 잔류수압이 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 배수재 및 배수공 폐색 조건에 따른 터널에 작용하는 수압분포를 ICFEP프로그램을 활용하여 수치해석적으로 고찰하고 현재 적용중인 잔류수압과의 비교 분석을 통해 라이닝에 작용하는 합리적인 잔류수압 적용 방안을 검토하였다.

This study analyzed pore water pressure, earth pressure and settlement through laboratory model tests in order to suggest the effective remodeling method in the case of reinforcing the upstream and downstream slope of deteriorated reservoirs that has no cores and filters or is not functional. The method of remodeling the upstream slope using dredge soil is first prevent seepage by installing the core, and the leakage water can be rapidly discharged through a filter installed on the downstream slope. Therefore, it is considered a highly efficient method of remodeling that reduces piping phenomena and increasing the storage capacity of the reservoir. The variation of earth pressure without the core and filter was greater than with it, while the change largely showed in the upstream slope, the downstream slope did not show any significant changes. The remodeling method of the downstream slope with the core appeared differently pore water pressure depending on the presence of the vertical and horizontal filters. In the upstream slope, the pore water pressure rises sharply, the base and middle gradually increased, and the downstream slope appeared small. The pore water pressure of embankment with a vertical and horizontal filter will be smaller than without it. The remodeling of deteriorated reservoir that does not have the function of the filter, the vertical filter must be installed in a position that is higher than the expected seepage line by removing portions of the downstream slopes. Since the horizontal filter is an important structure that provides stable drainage during an earthquake or concentrated leak, it is necessary to examine any change in the seepage characteristics depending on the filter intervals via three-dimensional finite element analysis, and it should be connected to the tow-drain to reduce the possibility of the collapse of the reservoir.

In this paper, the existing Stokoe type torsional shear equipment is modified to saturate the specimen and measure excess pore water pressure during undrained testing. Two types of sands, Geumgang and Toyoura sands, were collected and TS tests were performed at various densities drainage conditions, and confining pressures. The cyclic threshold shearing strains were estimated based on the variations of shear modulus, material damping ratio and pore pressures with loading cycles. The effects of relative density, confining pressure, and drainage condition on the cyclic threshold shearing strains were investigated.

Most previous studies have generally overlooked the contribution of thermal stresses generated within the concrete mass when subjected to microwave heating and reported on pore-pressure as being the dominant cause of surface spalling. Also, the variation in electromagnetic properties of concrete and its effects on the microwave heating process have not been studied in detail. In this paper, finite element modeling is used to examine the simultaneous development of compressive thermal stresses and pore-pressure arising from the microwave heating of concrete. A modified Lambert's Law formulation is proposed to estimate the microwave power dissipation in the concrete mass. Moreover, the effects of frequency and concrete water content on the concrete heating rate and pattern are investigated. Results show high compressive stresses being generated especially in concrete with a high water content when heated by microwaves of higher frequencies. The results also reveal that the water content of concrete plays a crucial role in the microwave heating process.

Earthquake preparedness has become more important with recent increase in the number of earthquakes in Korea, but many existing structures are not prepared for earthquakes. There are various types of liquefaction prevention method that can be applied, such as compaction, replacement, dewatering, and inhibition of shear strain. However, most of the liquefaction prevention methods are applied before construction, and it is important to find optimal methods that can be applied to existing structures and that have few effects on the environment, such as noise, vibration, and changes in underground water level. The purpose of this study is to estimate the correlation between the displacement of a structure and variations of pore water pressure on the ground in accordance with the depth of the sheet file when liquidation occurs. To achieve this, a shaking table test was performed for Joo-Mun-Jin standard sand and an earth pressure, accelerometer, pore water pressure transducer, and LVDT were installed in both the non-liquefiable layer and the liquefiable layer to measure the subsidence and excess pore water pressure in accordance with the time of each embedded depth. Then the results were analyzed. A comparison of the pore water pressure in accordance with Hsp/Hsl was shown to prevent lateral water flow at 1, 0.85 and confirmed that the pore water pressure increased. In addition, the relationship between Hsp/Hsl and subsidence was expressed as a trend line to calculate the expected settlement rate formula for the embedded depth ratio.

본 연구는 강우시 토사사면의 침투거동 특성을 규명하기 위한 기초연구로서 강우재현장치를 활용하여 실내모형실험을 실시하여 유한사면내의 간극수압의 변화를 측정하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 강우지속시간에 따른 강우시 유한사면내의 침투거동 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 강우가 지속적으로 발생됨에 따라 사면내의 간극수압은 점차 증가하는 것을 알 수 있으며, 강우초기에는 사면 중앙부 표면에서 간극수압이 크고 강우가 점차 지속됨에 따라 사면내로 강우가 침투하여 사면붕괴 직전에는 사면내부의 간극수압이 크게 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 실시한 실내실험은 계측기의 민감도가 높고 조작이 용이하지 못하여 많은 실험결과를 얻지 못하였으며, 향후 다양한 사면경사에서의 유한사면에 대한 강우시 침투거동 특성에 대해 실험적 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

파랑과 해저지반 그리고 해안 해양 구조물과의 상호작용은 지반공학뿐만 아니라 해안공학 분야에서도 중요한 이슈중의 하나이며, 파랑에 의해 해저지반 내부에 발생하는 응력 및 간극수압 거동의 파악은 다양한 해안 해양 구조물의 기초 설계 및 해저 연안 지반의 불안정성 검토에 있어서 중요한 과제이다. 해저지반의 불안정에 대한 문제 중, 파랑에 의한 해저지반의 액상화는 기존의 연구를 통하여, 두개의 메커니즘이 존재한다는 것이 밝혀졌으며, 이는 각각 파랑에 의해 해저지반 내부에 발생하는 과잉간극수압의 변동 특성 및 잔류 특성에 따른 것이다. 본 연구에서는 일본 시코쿠 코치(高知)현에 위치하고 있는 코치항에서 채취한 토사에 대한 동적 특성을 고려하여, 파랑에 의해 해저지반 내부에 발생하는 침투류에 의한 잔류과잉간극수압에 대하여 해석을 하였으며, 더 나아가, 코치항에서 계측된 값과 비교 분석을 하였다.

시료토(試料土)의 입경(粒經), 밀도(密度), 주입재(注入材)의 농도(濃度)를 변화(變化)시켜 불투수성(不透水性) 공시체(供試體)를 만들어 삼축압축시험(三軸壓縮試驗)에서 수직응력(垂直應力), 구속압(拘束壓)(${\sigma}_H$) 및 주입속도(注入速度)의 변화(變化)에 따라 공벽주변(孔壁周邊)에서 종할열시(縱割裂時)에 간극수압(間隙水壓)을 측정하여 간극수압(間隙水壓)~구속압(拘束壓)~종할열주입압(縱割裂注入壓)(${\sigma}$)~인장강도(引張强度)(${\sigma}_t$)와의 상관관계(相關關係)를 구하였다. 연약점성토(軟弱粘性土)에서의 이와 같은 수압파쇄현상(水壓破碎現象)은 탄성론(彈性論)에 의한 이론치(理論値)보다 낮은 주입압(注入壓)에서 발생하는데 이것은 구속압(拘束壓)에 의한 간극수압(間隙水壓)($U_a$)과 주입압(注入壓)에 의한 간극수압(間隙水壓)($U_i$)의 영향임(影響)을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 종할열발생시(縱割裂發生時)의 주입압(注入壓)은 다음과 같이 수정(修正)함이 바람직하다. $${\sigma}=2{{\sigma}_H}-(U_a+U_i)+{\sigma}_t$$.
