Shear wave velocities of three selected sandy soils subject to drained triaxial compression test were continuously measured using the bender elements. The shear wave velocity during isotropic compression, as widely recognized, increased as confining pressure increased and they were correlated well. However, during drained shearing, the mean effective stress could no further provide a suitable correlation. The shear wave velocity during this stage was almost constant with respect to the mean effective stress. The vertical stress was found to be more favorable at this stage (since confining stress was kept constant). When sample was attained its peak stress, the shear wave velocity reduced and deviated from the previously existed trend line. This was probably caused by the non-uniformity induced by the formation of shear band. Subsequently, void ratios computed based on external measurements could not provide reasonable fitting to the initial stage of post-peak shear wave velocity. At very large strain levels after shear band formation, the digital images revealed that sample may internally re-arrange itself to be in a more uniform loose stage. This final stage void ratio estimated based on the proposed correlation derived during pre-peak state was close to the value of the maximum void ratio.

직접전단시험은 측방변위 구속형의 일면·단순전단시험과 측방변위 비구속형의 비들림 전단시험으로 대별된다. 현재까지도 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 직접전단시험은 시험기 및 시험방법과 결과의 해석 등에 몇 가지의 문제점이 있었으며, 특히 사질토에서는 강도가 과대하게 평가되는 등의 지적이 있었다. 또한 시험기구상의 제약으로부터 전단과정 중 진행성 파괴를 일으키는 점, 공시체내의 전단변형량과 전단응력이 일정하지 않기 때문에 전단변형량을 정의할 수 없는 점 등이 있다. 한편 단순전단시험은 직접전단시험의 장점을 그대로 가지면서, 공시체에 일정한 전단변형을 전달할 수 있기 때문에 전단에 대한 응력-변형량 관계를 얻을 수 있는 이상적인 시험법이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 단순전단시험은 그 구조상, 시험기제작이 어려운 점 등 아직도 실용적인 시험기의 완성에는 도달하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 간이 전단시험방법 및 시험기의 문제점을 개선한 개량형 일면전단 시험기의 제작과 일본 지반공학회 토질시험법의 기준화과정에서 얻은 시험결과를 바탕으로 시험기의 개요와 시험법의 개선, 정압조건의 시험결과에 대해 서술하였다.

This study aimed to develop upper and lower bounds to predict the tunnel support pressure under the pile tip during the circular tunnel excavation. Most previous studies on the upper and lower bound methods were carried out for the single ground structures, e.g., retaining wall, foundation, ground anchor and tunnel, in the homogeneous ground conditions, since the pile-soil-tunnel interaction problem is very complicated and sophisticated to solve using those bound methods. Therefore, in the lower bound approach two appropriate stress fields were proposed for single pile and tunnel respectively, and then they were superimposed. In addition, based on the superimposition several failure mechanisms were proposed for the upper bound solution. Finally, these upper bound mechanisms were examined by shear strain data from the laboratory model test and numerical analysis using finite element method.

It is an well-known fact that dynamic properties should be considered in design and maintenance of civil structures undergoing dynamic force such as rail track. For designing of the rail tack structures, dynamic properties of track bed soil such as shear modulus (G) and damping coefficients(D) obtained in small to medium range of shear strain must be known. In general, small size sample of D=5 cm and H=10cm has been used mostly for test convenience. However, ratio of largest particle diameter of the soil to sample diameter is very important and affects to the values of dynamic soil properties in track bed. In this study, an RC/TS test apparatus was built and was run for testing a medium size soil sample that can handle with compacted soil sample up to 10 cm diameter and 20 cm height.

The major factors that control the performance of reinforced soil structures is the interaction between the soil and the reinforcement. Thus it is necessary to obtain the accurate bond parameters to be used in the design of these structures. To evaluate the behavior of flyash + clay soil reinforced with a woven geotextile, 36 Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) and 12 reinforced Consolidated-Undrainrained (CU) triaxial compression tests were conducted. The moisture content of soil during remolding, confining pressures and arrangement of geotextile layers were all varied so that the behavior of the sample could be examined. The stress strain patterns, drainage, modulus of deformation, effect of confinement pressures, effects of moisture content have been evaluated. The impact of moisture content in flyash + clay backfills on critical shear parameters was also studied to recommend placement moisture for compaction to MDD. The results indicate that geotextile reinforced flyash + clay backfill might be a viable alternative in reinforced soil structures if good-quality granular backfill material is not readily available.

This study was carried out to improve our understanding about the influence of silt content on the stress-strain of sand under cyclic loading. Soil specimens were prepared by wet-tamping method as same void ratio and specimen's silt contents on total weights was changed from 0% to 20%. Also, effects of the silt contents on the stress-strain response were studied at different anisotropic consolidation ratio, Kc=1.0, 1.5, 2.0 condition. As a result, cyclic shear strength decreased as silt contents increased in same stress ratios. In same silt contents, cyclic shear strength increased as Kc increased in lower silt contents, but in higher silt contents, it had reverse results.

Uncertainty study of shear strength characteristics of the marine clays was carried out based ell In-situ tests and laboratory tests on tile south-east coastal region of the Korean peninsula. Theoretical analyses were studied using both tile spherical cavity expansion theory in finite soil mass and the strain path method to determine tile cone factor using the undrained shear strengths obtained by in-situ tests, and the empirical methods in accordance with the ultimate resistance theory were also discussed. Analysis show that the empirical methods suggest more reasonable value than that of theoretical methods in terms of comparing the cone factor estimated using linear regression and frequency distribution analyses. The cone factors obtained by the empirical methods are 18, 15, and 6 respectively, from the results of total cone resistance, effective cone resistance, and excess porewater cone resistance method, and the estimated were similar to those of previous researcher's.

본 연구에서는 미소변형률에서 대변형률까지의 거동을 모델할 수 있는 탄소성 구성모델을 개발하였다. 제안된 구성모델은 일반 등방경화규칙에 근거한 비등방 경화규칙과 전응력 개념을 토대로 개발하였다. 그리고 제안된 구성관계가 기존의 대표적 구성모델을 포함하고 있음을 수학적으로 입증하였다. 국내 화강풍화토에 대한 공진주시험, 비틂전단시험, 삼축시험 등 일련의 실내시험 결과를 이용하여 검증한 결과, 쌍곡선 모델 및 Ramberg-Osgood모델과 비교하여 제안된 모델은 미소변형률에서 대변형률까지의 거동을 더욱 일관되고 정확하게 모델할 수 있다. 또한 비틂전단시험 결과와의 비교에서는, 미소변형률 조건에서 나타나는 비선형성을 적합하게 예측할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 굴패각 혼합토의 전단강도 특성을 파악하고자 해성토에 굴패각 혼합율 0%, 25% 그리고 50%로 달리 한 후 $K_o$ 비배수 삼축압축 실험을 실시하였다. 또한 각 혼합비에 따라 유효 연직압을 200kPa, 300kPa 그리고 400kPa로 적용하였고, 유효 연직압 300kPa에 대해서 전단속도를 세가지로 달리하여 그에 따른 혼합토의 전단강도 특성을 알아보았다. 일련의 실험결과로부터 굴패각 혼합비가 증가할수록 굴패각 입자의 파쇄로 인해 전단강도가 증가함을 볼 수 있었으며, 전단속도는 굴패각 혼합토의 전단강도에 큰 영향을 미치지 못함을 확인하였다. 굴패각 혼합토의 실내실험과 Mayne, Bishop의 경험식을 토대로 비교 분석한 결과 비배수 전단강도는 실험값과 비슷한 경향을 나타내고 있다. 그러나 간극수압계수 예측은 혼합비 0%에서 경험식이 실험값과 보다 과대 평가를 보이고 있다.

Strain-stress behavior of soil is of importance in dealing with geo-techniques which relate to bearing capacity, slope stability, earth pressure and many geo-technical problems. So understanding mechanism of the behavior and reinforcing soil to the required state has been an issue for many years. This paper presents the possibility of magnetic force in enhancing shear strength. To analyze the reinforcing effect, triaxial compression tests were performed on two sets of steel-sand mixtures, one of which is influenced by permanent magnet, NdFeB. With magnetic force under 50 kPa confining pressure, maximum shear strengths increased according to steel percentages but under 100 kPa, no significant changes in maximum shear strengths occurred. Therefore the analysis by Mohr's circles indicates that magnetic force converts the shearing characteristics of sand into those of clay.
