Pressure transducers are increasingly used within soil mass or at soil-structure interface for appraisal of stresses acting at point of installation. Calibration of pressure transducers provides a unique relationship between applied pressure and voltage or strain sensed by transducer during various loading conditions and is crucial for proper interpretation of results obtained from pressure transducers. In the present study an in-house calibration device is used to calibrate pressure transducers and the study is divided into two parts: 1) demonstration of developed calibration device for fluid and in-soil calibration of pressure transducers; 2) effect of soil layer thickness on the earth pressure cell (EPC) output. Results obtained from the present study revealed successful performance of the developed calibration device, and significant effect of sand layer thickness on the calibration results. The optimum sand layer thickness is obtained as 1.5 times the diameter of EPC.

The ultimate bearing capacity and failure mechanism of square footings resting on a sand layer over clay soil have been investigated numerically by performing a series of three-dimensional non-linear finite element analyses. The parameters investigated are the thickness of upper sand layer, strength of sand, undrained shear strength of lower clay and surcharge effect. The results obtained from finite element analyses were compared with those from previous design methods based on limit equilibrium approach. The results proved that the parameters investigated had considerable effect on the ultimate bearing capacity and failure mechanism occurring. It was also shown that the thickness of upper sand layer, the undrained shear strength of lower clay and the strength of sand are the most important parameters affecting the type of failure will occur. The value of the ultimate bearing capacity could be significantly different depending on the limit equilibrium method used.

Recently, many researches on the dissipation of excess pore pressure in liquefied sand grounds have been performed to evaluate post-liquefaction behaviors of structures. In this paper. centrifuge tests were performed to simulate liquefaction behaviors of prototype soil. The evaluation model of solidified layer thickness was developed to simulate non-linear variation of solidified layer thickness with time. Also, the dissipation of excess pore pressure in liquefied sand was evaluated by applying the solidification theory and the consolidation theory. The developed model gives a good estimation of the solidified layer thickness and the time history of excess pore pressure.

Among the Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, the Binder-Jetting printing technology is a method of spraying an adhesive on the surface of powder and laminate layer by layer. Recently, this technique has become a major issue in the production of large casting products such as ship-building, custom vehicles and so on. In this study, we performed research to make actual mold castings and increase mechanical property by using special sand and water-based binders. For use as a mold, it has a strength of more than 3MPa and permeability. Various experiments were carried out to obtain suitable them. The major process parameters were binder jetting volume, binder types, layer thickness and heat treatment condition. As a result of this study, the binder drop quantity was measured to be about 60 pico-liter, layer thickness was 100㎛ and the heat treatment condition was measured about 1,000℃ and compressive strength were measured to be more than 5MPa. The optimum condition of this experiment was established through actual casting of aluminum. The equipment used in this study was a Freeforms T400 model (SFS Co., Ltd.), and the printing area of 420 * 300 * 250mm and resolution of 600dpi can be realized.

기초 지반이 몇개의 토층으로 구성된 경우 그 지지력은 각 토층의 강성도와 두께 및 위치 등에 의해 영향을 받는다. 따라서 기초 설계시에 기초의 지지력을 정확히 구하고 파괴면을 예측하기 위해서는 토층의 상태를 지지력 계산에 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기초 지반이 사질지반이고 중간에 상대적으로 조밀한 지층을 포함하는 경우에 조밀한 층의 두께나 위치가 기초의 지지력 및 파괴모양에 미치는 영향을 극한 해석의 상한한계(upper bound)쪽에서 완전해에 가까운 해를 구하는 K.E.M(Kinematical Element Method)을 이용하여 검토 하였으며, 기초 폭(B)의 3/5 B보다 깊지 않은곳에 조밀한 층이 위치하는 경우에는 기초의 지지력 과 파괴모양이 조밀한 층의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

A turfgrass rootzone foundation is one of the important iufluences on the growth of cool-season turfgrass such as Kentucky bluegrass, which is usually grown on korean golf courses and athletic fields in Korea. This study was carried out to evaluate the growth of Kentucky bluegrass on 4 types of turfgrass root-zone foundations: a 2cm thickness of Sand 90%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture on a subsoil base (C), a 20cm thickness of Sand 90%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture (S), a 20cm thickness of Sand 45%+fine sand(a sort of Bomyungsa) 45%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture (S+F), and a 20cm thickness of Sand 45%+fine sand(a sort of Bomyungsa) 45%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture on a 20cm thick drainage layer (S+F(G)). Visual ratings of Kentucky bluegrass on the C foundation were low throughout the experiment when compared to S, S+F, and S+F(G) foundations, which contained high contents of sand with a high water infiltration rate. However, poor growth of Kentucky bluegrass in the summer of 1991 on the S foundation was likely to be caused by a too high water infiltration rate (185.8cm/hr). The growth of Kentucky bluegrass on the S+F(G) was good while the growth was a little weak at the developing stage on the S +F foundation. If the cost had to be considered when constructing golf courses and athletic fields, The S+F foundation without the drainage layer would be the best choice in terms of low cost and good quality of Kentucky bluegrass compared to the S+F(G). In this result, the infiltration rate was regarded as the most influential factor to the growth of Kentucky bluegrass on rootzone foundations.

A total of 104 laboratory model tests on a square footing subjected to eccentrically inclined loads supported by sand reinforced with randomly distributed polypropylene fibers were conducted in order to compare the results with those obtained from unreinforced sand and with each other. For conducting the model tests, uniform sand was compacted in a test box at one particular relative density of compaction. The effect of percentage of reinforcement used, thickness of the reinforced layer, angle of inclination of load to vertical and eccentricity of load applied on various prominent factors such as ultimate load, vertical settlement, horizontal deformation and tilt were investigated. An improvement in ultimate load, vertical settlement, horizontal deformation and tilt of foundation was observed with an increase in the percentage of fibers used and thickness of reinforced sand layer under different inclinations and eccentricities of load. A statistical model using non-linear regression analysis based on present experimental data for predicting the vertical settlement ($s_p$), horizontal deformation ($hd_p$) and tilt ($t_p$) of square footing on reinforced sand at any load applied was done where the dependent variable was predicted settlement ($s_p$), horizontal deformation ($hd_p$) and tilt ($t_p$) respectively.

최근 액상화 이후의 구조물 거동에 관심이 높아지면서, 액상화 지반의 과잉간극수압 소산에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 포화된 수평모래지반에 대한 원심모형실험을 수행하여 액상화 이후의 과잉간극수압 소산거동을 계측하고 계측결과를 바탕으로 견고화층의 비선형적인 두께 변화에 대한 예측모델을 제안하였다. 기존의 침강이론과 압밀이론에 이 예측모델을 결합함으로써 과잉간극수압 소산을 모델링하는 새로운 소산 예측모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 소산모델은 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하여 견고층 두께 증가와 과잉간극수압 소산양상을 잘 모사하는 것으로 나타났다.

실트질 점토로 이루어진 연약지반의 호안 제방축조는 성토 제방하중에 의한 연약지반내 강제치환 공법으로 이루어지고 있으며, 축조 제방하부 강제치환 깊이는 호안 제방의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 기존의 제방하부 강제치환 깊이 산정방법은 하부 연약점토지반의 비배수 전단강도 증분율을 고려한 제방하부 연약지반의 지지력과 성토제방 하중에 의해 산정하고 있다. 그러나 지반 층후 특성에 따라 중간층 형태의 점토질 실트층 또는 모래층이 있는 경우가 있으며, 이러한 점토질 실트층 또는 모래층은 제방하부 연약지반의 지지력에 영향을 미치게 되어 강제치환 깊이에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 중간 모래층이 있는 연약지반내 제방 축조시 강제치환 깊이를 Perloff et al.(1967) 영향계수를 고려한 성토제방 하중과 층두께 가중평균 지지력(Bowles, 1988)에 의해 산정하였으며, 수치해석(FLAC)적 방법에 의한 산정결과와 비교 분석하였다. 해석결과 제방하부 접지폭이 $0.2B_o$(중간 모래층), $0.5B_o$(단일층)인 경우 산정된 강제치환 깊이는 수치해석과 매우 근접하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 제방 하부 접지폭의 영향보다 비배수 전단강도 및 중간 모래층 두께, 중간 모래층 위치의 영향이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 중간 모래층 두께가 작을수록 강제치환 깊이는 증가하며, 중간 모래층 위치가 증가 할수록 강제치환 깊이는 증가하고, 비배수 전단강도가 감소할수록 강제치환 깊이가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
