  • This paper presents field study and numerical modeling results for a single-cell low-fill concrete box culvert under a flexible pavement subjected to traffic loading. The culvert in the field test was instrumented with displacement transducers to capture the deformations resulting from different combinations of static and traffic loads. A low-boy truck with a known axle configuration and loads was used to apply seven static load combinations and traffic loads at different speeds. Deflections under the culvert roof were measured during loading. Soil and pavement samples were obtained by drilling operation on the test site. The properties of the soil and pavement layers were determined in the laboratory. A 3-D numerical model of the culvert was developed using a finite difference program FLAC3D. Linear elastic models were used for the pavement layers and soil. The numerical results with the material properties determined in the laboratory were compared with the field test results. The observed deflections in the field test were generally smaller under moving loads than static loads. The maximum deflections measured during the static and traffic loads were 0.6 mm and 0.41 mm respectively. The deflections computed by the numerical method were in good agreement with those observed in the field test. The deflection profiles obtained from the field test and the numerical simulation suggest that the traffic load acted more like a concentrated load distributed over a limited area on the culvert. Elastic models for culverts, pavement layers, and surrounding soil are appropriate for numerical modeling of box culverts under loading for load rating purposes.

  • 파형강관의 해석은 2차원 프레임 해석이나 압축링 모델에 의존하고 있다. 이는 흙-구조물 합성구조계의 거동을 고려하지 않은 해석이다. 파형강관 구조물은 토피고와 지간에 따라 하중저항시스템이 변화한다. 따라서, 흙-구조물 합성구조계의 작용을 고려한 유한요소해석을 통해 파형강관의 거동특성을 확인하였다. 적정토피고 이상 성토하면 파형강관은 연성관의 토압분포에 따른 거동과 유사하며, 차량하중의 영향은 적정토피고 이상 성토할수록 감소하였다. 그러나, 적정토피고 이하로 성토할 경우, 연직토압이 감소하고 파형강관 측면의 수동토압도 감소하여 완전한 연성관 거동을 나타내지 못했고, 성토 높이가 적정토피고 이하로 작아질수록 차량하중이 단면력에 미치는 영향이 커져, 파형강관 구조물의 거동을 지배하였다.

  • Tunnels offer myriad benefits for modern countries, and understanding their behavior under loads is critical. This paper analyzes and evaluates the damage to buried horseshoe tunnels under soil pressure and traffic loading. To achieve this, a numerical model of this type of tunnel is first created using ABAQUS software. Then, fracture mechanics theory is applied to investigate the fracture and damage of the horseshoe tunnel. The numerical analysis is based on the damage plasticity model of concrete, which describes the inelastic behavior of concrete in tension and compression. In addition, the reinforcing steel is modeled using the bilinear plasticity model. Damage contours, stress contours, and maximum displacements illustrate how and where traffic loading alters the response of the horseshoe tunnel. Based on the results, the fracture mechanism proceeded as follows: initially, damage started at the center of the tunnel bottom, followed by the formation of damage and micro-cracks at the corners of the tunnel. Eventually, the damage reached the top of the concrete arch with increasing loading. Therefore, in the design of this tunnel, these critical areas should be reinforced more to prevent cracking.

  • The Repeated Load Triaxial and Oedometer Tests to the weathered granite & silty clay soil have been fulfilled to investigate their dynarnic characteristics. The results obtained are summarized as follows ; 1. In the relation between the repeated triaxial compression and the oedometer test, the recoverable strain of weathered granite soil showed a tendency to decrease by the increase of the repeated loads number(N), and that of silty clay showed approximately constant values while the total strain increased continuously. 2. The changes of plastic strain was dependent to the level of deviator stress which is the most important element in the calculation of soil deformation under repeated load condition. And there was a significance of 10% between the level of stress and plastic strain. 3. When the soil was aimost dried or saturated to 100%, the deformation by the repeated loads was small. However the deformation showed peak around the saturation of 50%. 4. When the deformation was predicted by the repeated triaxial load tests of a laboratory, it is desirable to introduce the threshold stress concept in the calculation of deformation of subgrade of the pavement. 5. The improved design equation (Eq. 16) introducing the modulus of conversion(Fo), which is based on the Boussineq' s theory, is considered to be rational in the design of flexible pavement. From the above results, the deformation to the repeated traffic loads could be predicted by the repeated triaxial tests on the pavement materials or undisturbed soil layers, therefore it is think that the durable and econornic pavement could be constructed by reflecting that to the design.

  • This study developed the classification of National Soil Quality Monitoring Network (NSQM) and its site selection criteria to meet the recently established purposes of the NSQM. The NSQM were suggested by this study to classify into the six-purposes site groups from the current classification of land uses. The six purposes site groups were 1) intensive observation sites, 2) contaminant loading sites, 3) human activity sites, 4) background sites, 5) river soil sites, and 6) sites near the groundwater quality monitoring wells. Furthermore, this study developed the site selection criteria of NSQM utilizing the accumulated NSQM data, road traffic data, chemical emission data, census, soil information, and the literature related to soil quality variation due to contaminant loads. For selecting suitable sites for NSQM, this study used road traffic, chemical emission, the distance from the contaminant sources, and population information as specific criteria. The suggested site classification and criteria were appled for the current 100 NSQM sites for evaluation. Forty sites were met to the criteria suggested by this study, but sixty sites were not met to the criteria. However, some of the sixty sites also included the obscure sites that their addresses were not apparent to find them.

  • In this study, the vibration screening effectiveness of barriers which can isolate structures from ground-transmitted vibration generated by harmonic forces is performed. For high frequencies, the vibration screening effectiveness of barriers is analyzed from field tests, and compared with the results from numerical analyses using a commercial program, ANSYS. Using these numerical analysis procedures, the effectiveness for vibration with various low frequencies is predicted. The frequency analysis tests of surface waves are performed in order to estimate the dynamic material properties of soil for 100 Hz, 150 Hz, 200 Hz, and 250 Hz. Three-dimensional solid elements are used in order to consider the diffraction of waves in all directions. Spring-damper combination elements are used in order to avoid the reflection of waves on the boundary. The results of numerical analysis agree with those of field tests. From the results of this numerical analyses, the reduction of vibration for low frequencies induced by the traffic loads can be predicted.

  • 교통하중으로 인해 교통시설 하부구조인 옹벽에 전달되는 수평토압은 도로의 차선 수, 차량하중 및 옹벽으로부터 이격거리 등에 영향을 받는다. 차량하중에 의해 유발되는 토압은 등가상재하중높이로 표현하며, 표준트럭의 축하중 크기와 위치에 따라 달라진다. 한계상태설계법은 2015년부터 국내 도로교 설계에 적용되어 왔으나, 우리나라 실정을 고려한 토압하중계수(등가상재하중높이)가 제시되어 있지 않아 설계에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내 표준트럭의 축하중 크기 및 위치를 반영한 등가상재하중높이를 산정하였다. 탄성체 지반에 대하여 Boussinesq 이론을 적용시켜 계산한 등가상재하중높이와 2차원 수치해석 산정치를 비교하였다. 그리고 수치해석 상의 한계와 옹벽의 장기안정성을 고려하여 AASHTO 기준치와 차별화된 등가상재하중높이를 제안하였다. 우리나라 교통하중으로부터 도출된 등가상재하중높이는 AASHTO에서 제안하는 등가상재하중높이보다 옹벽의 높이가 낮을 경우 다소 낮게 평가되었으며 옹벽의 높이가 높을 경우 높게 평가되었다.

  • 차량하중에 의해 옹벽에 전달되는 수평토압은 등가상재하중높이로 표현하며, 표준트럭의 축하중 크기와 위치에 따라 그 영향이 달라진다. 한계상태설계법은 2015년부터 국내 도로교 설계에 적용되어 왔다. 하지만 우리나라 실정을 고려한 토압하중계수(등가상재하중높이)가 제시되어 있지 않아 설계에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 표준트럭의 축하중 크기 및 위치를 반영한 등가상재하중높이를 산정하였다. 3차원 수치해석 방법으로 등가상재하중높이를 산정하였으며, AASHTO 기준치와 차별화된 등가상재하중 높이를 제시하였다. 우리나라 표준트럭의 축하중은 미국과 달리 축하중이 집중되는 구조를 가지고 있어 옹벽의 높이가 낮은 경우 등가상재하중높이가 AASHTO에서 제안한 값보다 다소 크게 평가 되었다. 따라서 우리나라 교통하중으로부터 도출된 등가상재하중높이는 옹벽 구조물의 장기 안정성을 확보하는 측면에서 AASHTO 기준치보다 보수적으로 제시하는 것이 합리적일 것이다.
