국내 GCP공법은 많은 선행연구가 진행되었으나, 설계자의 경험에 의해 의존하여 설계되고 있는 실정이므로 파괴사례가 종종 보고되고 있다. 이에 따라 명확한 파괴 원인규명 및 파괴예방대책 수립이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GCP공법의 합리적인 설계법의 제안을 위한 기초단계로써, GCP에 사용되는 최적배합비를 대형직접전단시험을 통해 결정하고, 내부마찰각의 변화에 따른 응력분담비의 변화 및 지반의 수직/수평 침하거동을 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 직접전단 실험결과 쇄석과 모래의 최적배합비는 70:30으로 평가되었다. 수치해석결과 내부마찰각이 증가할수록 응력분담비가 증가하나 일정한 값으로 수렴하고 침하량이 감소하며, 최적배합비로 시공할 경우 측방유동 및 히빙현상의 감소를 유도할 것으로 판단된다.

Masonry walls which are commonly used for partitions in low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) structures, can be easily exposed to high risks under strong earthquakes. Since the strength degradations cannot be protected under the ground motions, their applications cannot be recommended for building structures which are designed to possess high seismic performances. However, masonry-infilled walls are typically considered as non-structural elements in evaluating the seismic performance of building structures. In order to figure out this problem, this study performed experiments using two specimens-only RC frame and RC frame infilled with masonry walls- under static loading. Also, the study established analytical models representing fully infilled frames and bare frame, and compared their structural behavior with test results. In addition, analytical model representing partially infilled frames was established and analyzed. Test results indicated that strength and energy dissipating capacity were increased for IW-RN(fully infilled frames) compared to the NW(bare frame). The nonlinear static analysis of the three specimens was also conducted using the inelastic plastic hinge frame element and diagonal strut models, and the analytical results successfully simulated the nonlinear behaviour of the specimens in accordance with the test results.

This paper presents the seismic responses of a 1:5-scale five-story reinforced concrete building model, which represents a residential apartment building that has a high irregularity of weak story, soft story, and torsion simultaneously at the ground story. The model was subjected to a series of uni- and bi-directional earthquake simulation tests. Analysis of the test results leads to the following conclusions: (1) The model survived the table excitations simulating the design earthquake with the PGA of 0.187 g without any significant damages, though it was not designed against earthquakes; (2) The fundamental mode was the torsion mode. The second and third orthogonal translational modes acted independently while the torsion mode showed a strong correlation with the predominant translational mode; (3) After a significant excursion into inelastic behavior, this correlation disappeared and the maximum torsion and torsion deformation remained almost constant regardless of the intensity of the two orthogonal excitations; And, (4) the lateral resistance and stiffness of the critical columns and wall increased or decreased significantly with the large variation of acting axial forces caused by the high bi-directional overturning moments and rocking phenomena under the bi-directional excitations.

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the efficient design of traffic light poles involved in vehicle frontal collisions by developing a computer-based, finite-element model capable of capturing the impact characteristics. This is achieved by using the available non-linear dynamic analysis software "LS-DYNA3D", which can accurately predict the dynamic response of both the vehicle and the traffic light pole. The fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) as a new pole's material is proposed in this paper to increase energy absorption capabilities in the case of a traffic pole involved in a vehicle head-on collision. Numerical analyses are conducted to evaluate the effects of key parameters on the response of the pole embedded in soil when impacted by vehicles, including: soil type(clay and sand) and pole material type(FRP and steel). It is demonstrated from the numerical analysis that the FRP pole-soil system has favorable advantages over steel poles, where the FRP pole absorbed vehicle impact energy in a smoother behavior, which leads to smoother acceleration pulse and less deformation of the vehicle than those encountered with steel poles. Also, it was observed that clayey soil brings a slightly more resistance than sandy soil which helps reducing pole movement at ground level. Finally, FRP pole system provides more energy absorbing leading to protection during minor impacts and under service loading, and remain flexible enough to avoid influencing vehicle occupants, thus reducing fatalities and injuries resulting from the crash.

Earth reinforcement techniques are used worldwide and offer proven solutions to a wide range of geotechnical engineering problems. Here in this paper, recent developments of three major reinforced soil retaining wall methods in Japan were introduced in order to show how the current situation of this technique in Japan is. And the statistical data for the volume of the use was also shown, such as the total volume of the use, the scales of the structures, layout of the earth reinforcement, fill materials, and foundation conditions. Some of the case histories were also introduced with photographs and figures. And then, as one of recent research activity by the author, the study on the application of X-ray CT for the problem of earth reinforcement method combined with other method such as piling and soil improvement was introduced. In this study, a series of model test for several reinforced ground with geogrids was conducted using a newly developed test apparatus. Then, the behavior in the soil box was scanned after settlement using X-ray CT scanner. Based on these test results, the reinforcing effect by the geogrids and the soil arching effect over the pile heads was discussed precisely and those are done in 3-D with nondestructive condition. Finally, the effectiveness of the use of X-ray CT scanner in geotechnical engineering was promised.

Composite piles have been used in ground conditions where conventional piles are unsuitable or uneconomical. They may consist of a combination of timber and concrete pile in Europe. One method of doing this was to drive a steel tube to just below water level, and a concrete pile was lowered down it and driven to the required level where corrosion was susceptible in U.K. Recently, a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pile was developed to use in many marine locations for piers and waterfront buildings in the USA(Hoy, 1995; Phair, 1997). A steel composite (SC) pile reinforced concrete spun pile with steel tube was also proposed and used for the foundation acting a high lateral earthquake load. Composite piles have been developed and researched to increase lateral resistance or to prevent corrosion in marine structures. In paper, the composite pile consisting of the steel upper portion and the concrete lower portion is proposed and are carried out several tests to confirm the capacity of the pile such as lateral load test, dynamic load tests and bending test. It is noted that the composite pile would be a economical pile being capable of increasing lateral resistance.

This study systematically examines the changes in the compressive and tensile strength of soil cement reinforced by natural hair fiber, which is regularly produced from human. Extensive experimental tests of various test specimens have been carried out in a laboratory. Several factors are considered, including the soil type, amount of cement, amount of fiber, fiber length, loading type, and curing age. The test results indicate that both the compressive and tensile strengths are significantly affected by the fiber, either increasing or decreasing depending on the conditions. The increase in tensile strength is significant in the sand-based soil cement due to the tensile resistance of the fiber which is interlocked with the surrounding soil or cement particles. The natural fiber provides a larger strain to failure due to its extensibility, which allows greater deformation. Based on the test results, natural hair fibers can be an effective and environmentally friendly way to improve soil ground subjected to tensile loading, such as an embankment slope, road subgrade, or landfill, thus reducing the cost for cement and waste treatment. The study results provide a useful information of better understanding the mechanical behavior of natural hair fiber in soil cement and the practical use of waste materials in civil engineering. The findings can be practically applied for improving earth structures under tensile loading.

This study evaluates seismic performance of the school buildings with the selected template designs in Turkey considering nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete components. Six school buildings with template designs were selected to represent major percentage of school buildings in medium-size cities located in high seismic region of Turkey. Selection of template designed buildings and material properties were based on field investigation on government owned school buildings in several cities in western part of Turkey. Capacity curves of investigated buildings were determined by pushover analyses conducted in two principal directions. The inelastic dynamic characteristics were represented by equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems and their seismic displacement demands were calculated under selected ground motions. Seismic performance evaluation was carried out in accordance with recently published Turkish Earthquake Code that has similarities with FEMA-356 guidelines. Reasons of building damages in past earthquakes are examined using the results of performance assessment of investigated buildings. The effects of material quality on seismic performance of school buildings were investigated. The detailed examination of capacity curves and performance evaluation identified deficiencies and possible solutions for template designs.

최근 국내·외에서 지진이 자주 발생하고 있다. 이러한 지진은 다양한 형태의 자연적 피해와 물리적 피해의 원인이 된다. 특히, 지반이 액체와 같은 거동을 보이는 액상화는 구조물에 큰 피해를 발생시킨다. 이에 다양한 액상화 피해 저감 공법들이 연구 및 개발되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시트파일 공법을 이용하여 기존 구조물에 적용 가능한 지진 시 액상화 피해 저감 공법에 대해 연구하였다. 1-G 진동대 실험을 수행하였고 주문진 표준사로 지반을 조성하였다. 상사 법칙을 적용하여 2층 규모의 모형 구조물을 제작하였고, 입력파는 가속도 수준 0.6g와 주파수 10Hz의 정현파를 적용하였다. 다양한 근입비에 따른 구조물 피해 저감 효과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 시트파일 공법을 적용하여 지반을 보강하였을 때의 구조물 침하가 지반 보강을 하지 않았을 때보다 약 71% 정도 감소하였으며, 최소 침하량을 보인 근입비는 "1"이었다. 그리고 근입비가 증가할수록 시트파일로 인해 지반 내 간극수압의 소산이 지연되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 근입비에 따른 구조물 침하와의 관계를 그래프와 관계식으로 제안하였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 기존 구조물에 적용 가능한 시트파일 공법을 개발하는데 있어 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

국가적으로 국토의 효율적 활용과 친환경성 등으로 인해 터널과 같은 지하공간 건설이 필요하다. 친환경적 요소의 중요성을 감안할 때, 산악지에 형성되는 도로건설에 대해 2-아치 및 대단면 터널로 계획되나 경제성, 시공성, 공사기간, 유지관리 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차로의 국도터널을 기준으로 현장조건과 지반조건을 고려하여 터널별 이격거리와 토피고를 변화시켜 경험식과 수치해석적으로 필라부의 안전성을 평가하였으며, 해석 프로그램으로 유한요소법을 적용한 Plaxis 2D를 활용하여 터널의 최소 필라폭 선정과 전체적인 터널의 거동특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, Tie-Bolt에 의한 필라보강은 연직하중을 분산시켜 안전적인 근접병렬터널 계획이 가능하며, 터널 필라의 거동은 현장계측 결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 지반조건에 따라 터널 필라폭을 축소시킨다면 이전의 터널에 비해 효율적인 터널 활용이 가능하다.
