본 연구에서는 우란바톨(Ulanbator)에서 북경(Beijing)사이의 지역에서 샘플링한 응회암 풍화토의 동상 특성을 규명하기 위해 상재하중 변화에 따른 동결점 저하를 중심으로 양단면 온도 일정$(상단 5^{\circ}C,\; 하단 5^{\circ}C)$의 동상실험 실시하였다. 본 실험을 통해, 빙편 성장에 따른 체적 팽창과 동결면으로의 수분이동을 확인하였다. 그리고 상재하중과 온도와의 관계식을 제안하였다. 상재하중이 증가함에 따라 동상속도는 비례적으로 감소하였고 빙편발생온도의 절대치는 증가하였다. 또한 동결부분의 함수비가 미동결 부분보다 크게, 특히 동결부분에서도 빙정에 가까울수록 함수비는 증가하였다.

Creep of soils has a significant impact on mechanical properties. The one-dimensional consolidation creep test, thermal analysis test, scanning electron microscope (SEM) test, and mercury compression test were performed on Guilin red clay to study the changes in bound water and microstructure during the creep process of Guilin red clay. According to the results of the tests, only free and weakly bound water is discharged during the creep of Guilin red clay. When the consolidation pressure p is in the 12.5-400.0 kPa range, it is primarily the discharge of free water; when the consolidation pressure p is in the 800.0-1600.0 kPa range, the weakly bound water is converted to free water and discharged. After consolidation creep, the microstructure of soil changes from granular overhead contact structure to flat sheet-like stacking structure, with a decrease in the number of large and medium pores, an increase in the number of small and micro pores, and a decrease in the fractal dimension of pores. The creep process of red clay is the discharge of weakly bound water as well as the compression of large pores into small pores and the transition of soil particles from loose to dense.

Calcareous soil is originated from marine biogenic sediments and weathering of carbonate rocks. The formation history for calcareous sediment includes complex physical, biological and chemical processes. It is preferably selected as the major fill materials for hydraulic reclamation and artificial island construction. Calcareous sands possess inter pores and complex shape are liable to be damaged at normal working stress level due to its fragile nature. Thus, the engineering properties of calcareous soil are greatly affected by its high compressibility and crushability. A series of triaxial shear tests were performed on calcareous sands derived from South China Sea under different test conditions. The effects of confining pressure, particle size, grading, compactness, drainage condition, and water content on the total amount of particle breakage for calcareous soil were symmetrically investigated. The test results showed that the crushing extent of calcareous sand with full gradation was smaller than that a single particle group under the same test condition. Large grains are cushioned by surrounding small particles and such micro-structure reduces the probability of breakage for well-graded sands. The increasing tendency of particle crushing for calcareous sand with a rise in confining pressure and compactness is confirmed. It is also evident that a rise in water content enhances the amount of particle breakage for calcareous sand. However, varying tendency of particle breakage with grain size is still controversial and requires further examination.

해저배관은 부력과 외부 충격을 방지하기 위하여 1.2~4m의 매설 깊이로 설치되어 운영된다. 해저배관은 수압과 토하중에 의한 외압으로부터 소성붕괴에 대한 저항성을 가져야한다. 해저배관에 수압과 토하중으로 발생하는 원주응력을 유한요소해석으로 파악하여 배관의 건전성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 내압은 외압에 의한 소성붕괴 저항성을 향상시켜 소성붕괴 발생 깊이를 증가시켰다 동일 수심에서는 매설 깊이 증가에 따라 원주응력은 증가하나, 동일 매설 깊이에서는 수심이 증가함에 따라 배관에서 발생하는 원주응력은 감소한다.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a new type of information processing system based on modeling the neural system of human brain. The prediction of swell pressures from easily determined soil properties, namely, initial dry density, initial water content, and plasticity index, have been investigated by using artificial neural networks. The results of the constant volume swell tests in oedometers, performed on statically compacted specimens of Bentonite-Kaolinite clay mixtures with varying soil properties, were trained in an ANNs program and the results were compared with the experimental values. It is observed that the experimental results coincided with ANNs results.

This study was conducted to characterize on the relationships of rainfall intensity and infiltration rate of rainfall dependent on unit weight change in the gneissic weathered soil by a column test equipment. In this study, volumetric water content and pore water pressure were measured using TDR sensors and tensiometers at regular time intervals. Rainfall conditions including continuous rainfall and repeated rainfall were selected in order to know the effect of antecedent rainfall. In the condition of rainfall intensity 20mm/h and the unit weights of soil as $1.35g/cm^3$, $1.55g/cm^3$ and $1.61g/cm^3$, average rainfall infiltration rate was $2.814{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$, $1.969{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$ and $1.252{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$ respectively. The higher rainfall intensity and lower unit weight of soil, the faster average infiltration rate. Overflow in the column was happened except rainfall condition of rainfall intensity 20mm and soil unit weight $1.35g/cm^3$. Increasing the soil unit weight, overflowed water was increased and occurrence time was faster.

Sand piling method is one of the most widely used methods to improve soft soils. There are several methods to install sand piles, but driven pile method is considered as one of the easiest method. This method simply pushes down the sand piles into soft soils, so that the excess pore pressure would be generated if the soil is saturated. This pore pressure acts as consolidation load. If the amount of sand pile induced pore pressure can be predicted in reasonable ways, the effects of sand piling to improve soft soils would be predicted, and the height of preload can be reduced. In this article, sand pile induced excess pressure was predicted by cavity expansion theory, and the predicted values were compared with the field measured values. The results showed fair agreements between the measured and the predicted excess pore pressure.

점토는 물과 같이 극성이 큰 유체가 존재할 때 매우 낯은 투수계수를 갖게된다. 따라서 극성이 매우 낮은 탄화수소계연료나 할로겐화 유기용제등은 간극수(pore water)를 밀어내지 못하기 때문에 점토공극내로 이동할 수 없다. 최근들어 대기오염 저감대책의 하나로 알콜이나 MTBE(methyl-tert-butyl ether)등과 같은 가솔린 산소첨가제의 사용량이 늘어나고 있는 추세에 있다. 이들 산소첨가제는 극성을 띠고 있으며 물에 대한 용해도가 매우 높기 때문에 간극수를 교체하여 가솔린이나 유기용제등의 점토층내 이동을 촉진시킬 가능성을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가솔린-알콜 혼합연료(gasohol)의 압밀점토층 내에서의 이동을 실험적으로 살펴보았다. 카올린슬러리를 압밀시켜 제조한 점토층에 가솔린, 알콜, 그리고 물의 혼합액을 152 Pa하에서 접촉시켰다. 점토층내로의 유체이동은 교체된 간극유체유량을 측정함으로써, 그리고 현상학적인 관찰은 핵자기 공명상(magnetic resonance image; MRI)을 측정해봄으로 추적하였다. 또한 점토시료의 구조는 environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과를 볼 때 가솔린만 존재시 접촉 14일 이후에도 물로 포화된 점토층내로 가솔린이 이동하지 못한 반면 gasohol 혼합체는 접촉후 단 20분이내에 점토층을 완전 통과하여 탄화수소계연료에 첨가된 알콜이 점토층내로의 이동을 한층 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. Gasohol과 접촉시 이러한 점토의 투수계수 증가는 알콜로 인해 점토의 공극구조가 붕괴되어 더 큰 공극을 형성시켰기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 공극직경(pore diameter)이 증가함으로 gasohol이 간극수를 교체하는데 필요한 모세압력이 감소되어 gasohol이 쉽게 점토증을 이동하게 되는 것이다.

Comparative study has been performed to investigate the behavior of dredged fills on rigid (Model 1) and flexible (Model 2) containers. The study was focused on the sedimentation of soil fills and the development of total stresses. Model 1 is made of an acrylic cylinder and Model two is a scale-size geotextile tube. Results indicate that for rigid containers, significant decrease of the sediment height is apparent during the dewatering process. On the other hand, because the geotextile is permeable, the water is gradually dissipated during the filling process on flexible containers. Hence, significant loss in the tube height is not apparent during the duration of the test. Pressure spikes are apparent on rigid containers during the filling process which can be attributed to the confining effect due to hydrostatic pressure. For the flexible containers, the pressure readings gradually increases with time during the filling process and normalize at the end on the filling stage. No pressure spikes were apparent due to the gradual dissipation of pore water pressure.

Triaxial compression tests were run to study on the undrained strength characteristics of fiber mixed kaolin clay(Hadong). The influence of various test parameters such as amount and aspect ratio(ratio of length to diameter) of fiber, confining stress was also investigated. Test results showed that the increase in aspect ratio was increased in deviator stress at failure, but no effect on pore water pressure at failure. Deviator stress at failure was also increased at 0.5％ mixing ratio(weight fraction of fiber to that of soil solid) of fiber but it was, thereafter, decreased and wits reached to constant after 2％ mixing ratio. On the contrary, Pore water pressure at failure was increased as mixing ratio of fiber was greater than 1%. Deviator stress and pore water pressure of both clay and fiber mixed clay(FMC) at failure were increased as confining stress was increased. Deviator stress of FMC at failure was about 10％ larger than that of clay, but pore water pressure of FMC at failure was almost similar to that of clay.
