Strength evaluation of soft soils is a formidable task because of difficulties in sampling, specimen preparation and setting in triaxial cells. In undrained triaxial testing, sampling disturbance, verticality of specimen and bedding effect give a great influence on shear strength measurements. In the other hand, shear wave measurements of specimens are less influenced by these factors. In this research, the bender elements were attached top cap and base pedestal of triaxial cell and shear wave velocities were measured. To initiate a methodology to evaluate shear strength indirectly by measuring shear wave velocity, a relationship between shear strength and shear wave velocity was developed with kaolinite specimens consolidated in the laboratory. Undrained shear strength turns out to increase linearly with shear wave velocity. Stress-strain curves can also be predicted with a hyperbolic model and shear wave measurements.

High levels of ambient noise and safety factors often limit the use of 'active-source' seismic methods for geotechnical investigations in urban environments. As an alternative, shear-wave velocity-depth profiles can be obtained by treating the background microtremor wave field as a stochastic process, rather than adopting the traditional approach of calculating velocity based on ray path geometry from a known source. A recent field test in Melbourne demonstrates the ability of the microtremor method, using only Rayleigh waves, to resolve a velocity inversion resulting from the presence of a hard, 12 m thick basalt flow overlying 25 m of softer alluvial sediments and weathered mudstone. Normally the presence of the weaker underlying sediments would lead to an ambiguous or incorrect interpretation with conventional seismic refraction methods. However, this layer of sediments is resolved by the microtremor method, and its inclusion is required in one-dimensional layered-earth modelling in order to reproduce the Rayleigh-wave coherency spectra computed from observed seismic noise records. Nearby borehole data provided both a guide for interpretation and a confirmation of the usefulness of the passive Rayleigh-wave microtremor method. Sensitivity analyses of resolvable modelling parameters demonstrate that estimates of shear velocities and layer thicknesses are accurate to within approximately $10\%\;to\;20\%$ using the spatial autocorrelation (SPAC) technique. Improved accuracy can be obtained by constraining shear velocities and/or layer thicknesses using independent site knowledge. Although there exists potential for ambiguity due to velocity-thickness equivalence, the microtremor method has significant potential as a site investigation tool in situations where the use of traditional seismic methods is limited.

In this research paper, and for the first time, wave propagations in sigmoidal imperfect functionally graded material plates are investigated using a simplified quasi-three-dimensionally higher shear deformation theory (Quasi-3D HSDTs). By employing an indeterminate integral for the transverse displacement in the shear components, the number of unknowns and governing equations in the current theory is reduced, thereby simplifying its application. Consequently, the present theories exhibit five fewer unknown variables compared to other Quasi-3D theories documented in the literature, eliminating the need for any correction coefficients as seen in the first shear deformation theory. The material properties of the functionally graded plates smoothly vary across the cross-section according to a sigmoid power law. The plates are considered imperfect, indicating a pore distribution throughout their thickness. The distribution of porosities is categorized into two types: even or uneven, with linear (L)-Type, exponential (E)-Type, logarithmic (Log)-Type, and Sinus (S)-Type distributions. The current quasi-3D shear deformation theories are applied to formulate governing equations for determining wave frequencies, and phase velocities are derived using Hamilton's principle. Dispersion relations are assumed as an analytical solution, and they are applied to obtain wave frequencies and phase velocities. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted to elucidate the influences of wavenumber, volume fraction, thickness ratio, and types of porosity distributions on wave propagation and phase velocities of the S-FGM plate. The findings of this investigation hold potential utility for studying and designing techniques for ultrasonic inspection and structural health monitoring.

The development of high performance fabrics have advanced body armor technology and improved ballistic performance while maintaining flexibility. Utilization of the shear thickening phenomenon exhibited by Shear Thickening Fluids (STF) has allowed further enhancement without hindering flexibility of the fabric through a process of impregnation. The effect of STF impregnation on the ballistic performance of fabrics has been studied for impact velocities below 700 m/s. Studies of STF-impregnated fabrics for high velocity impacts, which would provide a transition to significantly higher velocity ranges, are lacking. This study aims to investigate the effect of STF impregnation on the high velocity impact characteristics of Kevlar fabric by effectively dispersing silica nanoparticles in a suspension, impregnating Kevlar fabrics, and performing high velocity impact experiments with projectile velocities in the range of 1 km/s to compare the post impact characteristics between neat Kevlar and impregnated Kevlar fabrics. 100 nm diameter silica nanoparticles were dispersed using a homogenizer and sonicator in a solution of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and diluted with methanol for effective impregnation to Kevlar fabric, and the methanol was evaporated in a heat oven. High velocity impact of STF-impregnated Kevlar fabric revealed differences in the post impact rear formation compared to neat Kevlar.

굴절법 토모그래피를 구현하는 대부분의 컴퓨터 프로그램은 타우-피 역산 알고리즘을 이용하여 초기 모델을 생성한다. 타우-피 역산 알고리즘은 지층의 수직 분해능에 초점을 맞추기 때문에 전단 영역의 존재를 지시하는 탄성파 속도의 감소와 같은 수평적인 변화를 탐지하는데 실패하는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 타우-피 역산 알고리즘이 50미터 혹은 10개 측점 너비의 주요 전단 영역을 탐지하거나 정의하는데 실패하는 사례를 보여준다. 그럼에도 불구하고 대다수의 굴절법 토모그래피 프로그램들이 각 지층의 수직 속도 구배로 탄성파 속도를 매개화한다. 이와는 달리, 일반상반성방법(Generalized Reciprocal Method; GRM) 역산 알고리즘은 개별 지층의 수평 분해능을 강조한다. 본 연구에서는 GRM 역산 알고리즘을 이용하여 50미터 폭의 전단 영역을 성공적으로 탐지하고 정의하는 사례를 보여준다. 전단 영역의 존재는 2차원 선두파 진폭분석과 이후의 3차원 굴절법 탐사의 일환으로 수행된 몇 개의 근거리 직교 탄성파 탐사에 의해 확인된다. 또한. 송신원 기록 진폭분석 결과는 풍화대에서 수직 속도 구배보다는 속도역전이 발생하는 것을 보여준다. 결론적으로 말하면, 모든 탄성파 굴절법 탐사가 실용적으로 정확한 심도추정 결과를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하면서도 개별 지층의 수평 분해능을 강조하는 기법들이 지질환경공학적인 응용에 더 유용한 결과를 생성한다는 것이다. 향상된 수평 분해능의 장점은 구조적 특징이 탄성파 속도의 변화 크기로부터 인식될 수 있는 2차원 트래버스(tracverse)로 얻어질 수 있다. 또한, 3차원 탐사로부터 얻어진 공간 패턴은 탄성파 속도에서는 고유한 변화나 징후를 보이지 않는 단층과 같은 구조적 특징의 인식을 가능하게 한다.

This paper presents three-dimensional mean velocities, turbulent intensities and Reynolds shear stresses measured in the Y-Z plane of the gas swirl burner with a cone type baffle plate by using an X-type hot-wire probe. This experiments is carried out at the flow rate of 450ℓ/min which is equivalent to the combustion air flow rate necessary to heat release 15,000 kcal/hr in a gas furnace. Mean velocities and turbulent intensities etc. show that their maximum values exist around the narrow slits situated radially on the edge of and in front of a burner. According to downstream regions, they have a peculiar shape like a starfish because the flows going out of the narrow slits and the swirl vanes of an inclined baffle plate diffuse and develop into inward and outward of a burner. The rotational flow due to the inclined flow velocity going out of swirl vanes of a cone type baffle plate seems to decrease the magnitudes of mean velocities V and W respectively by about 30% smaller than those of mean velocity U. The turbulent intensities have large values of 50%∼210% within the range of 0.5

Seismic safety analysis of rockfill dams are consist of the stability analysis as an simplifed method and the dynamic analysis as an detailed method. When high risk dams such as Multi-purpose dams were often applied detailed method by dynamic analysis, dynamic properties of dam materials such as shear modulus are considered as most important factor. Dynamic material properties such as shear modulus had to be investigated by cyclic triaxial test et al. during design and construction stage but these were not conducted because of the condition of domestic seismic design technique. MASW and SASW methods had been applied as a non destructive method to investigate dynamic material properties of existing rockfill dam, has no problems in dam safety at present. These methods were usually performed under the assumptions that the subsurface can be described horizontally homogeneous and isotropic layers. Recent studies(Marwin, 1993, Kim, 2001) showed that surface waves generated through inclined structures have different characteristics from those through a horizontally homogeneous layered model. further Kim et al(2005) and Min and Kim(2006) showed that central core type rockfill dam overestimated the shear wave velocities as increasing the depth through the 3D numerical modelling dut to the effect of outer rockfill and geometrical reasons In this study the results of shear wave velocities of seven rockfill dams form comprehensive facility review, was carried out from 2003 to 2007, were collected and analysed to establish the shear wave velocity distribution characteristics in increasing confining stress in rockfill dams and surface wave velocity ranges in rockfill dam through MASW and the limitation in application are discussed to be utilized as an reference value for dynamic analysis.

조립토로 구성된 지반구조물의 안정성은 전단변형에 따른 전단영역의 특성변화에 의해 영향을받는다. 본 연구의 목적은 전단파와 전기비저항 및 콘 선단저항력을 이용하여 직접전단실험시 발생하는 전단영역의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 전단영역의 특성을 파악하기 위하여, 아크릴 재질로 직접전단상자를 제작하였으며, 직접전단상자의 벽면에는 전단파와 전기비저항의 측정을 위하여 벤더엘리먼트와 전기비저항 프로브를 설치하였다. 벤더엘리먼트와 전기비저항 프로브는 전단영역과 비전단영역에 각각 설치되어, 전단변형에 따른 조립토의 거동을 비교할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 콘 선단저항력을 측정할 수 있도록 개발한 마이크로 콘을 첨두강도상태와 잔류강도상태에서 관입하여 깊이에 따른 시료의 강도분포를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 바닥부근과 하부전단영역에서는 전단변형에 따른 전단파 속도는 일정하였지만, 상부전단영역에서의 전단파 속도는 증가하였다. 또한, 바닥부근의 전기비저항은 변화가 없는 반면, 하부전단영역에서 전기비저항은 상대밀도에 따라 수직변형률과 반비례관계로 나타났다. 콘 선단저항력의 변화도 전단파 속도의 변화와 유사하게 상부전단영역에서 큰 변화가 관찰되었다. 본 논문에서 제시한 직접전단실험시 전단파와 전기비저항을 관찰하는 것과 실험완료 후 콘 관입실험은 조립토의 전단영역 특성을 파악하기 위한 매우 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

This paper is to study the response of flat plate slab-column connections consisting of various types of shear reinforcement and steel plate subjected to gravity loadings, mainly punching shear forces using the non-destructive testing, spectral analysis of surface waves and structural experiments. The base specimen failed due to punching shear generated from the gravity. The three other types of slab shear reinforcement and steel plate showed effective in resisting punching shear for these types of connections under gravity loading. This study has focused in evaluating the velocity response of a Surface wave during the early age as the poured concrete specimens have been hardened, the possibility of damage detection in the slab-column connection and the relationship between the punching shear forces and the surface wave velocities under the condition that the punching shear forces had gradually increased until the flat plate slab in slab-column connection had been failed.
