OBJECTIVES : The objective of this study is to analyze the nonlinear behavior of block pavements using multi-load level falling weight deflectometer (FWD) deflections. METHODS : Recently, block pavements are employed not only in sidewalks, but also in roadways. For the application of block pavements in roadways, the structural capacities of subbase and subgrade are important factors that support the carry traffic load. Multi-load level FWD testing was conducted on block pavements to analyze their nonlinear behavior. The deflection ratio due to the increase in load was analyzed to estimate the nonlinearity of block pavements. Finite element method with nonlinear soil model was applied to simulate the actual nonlinear behavior of the block pavement under different levels of load. RESULTS : The results of the FWD testing show that the center deflections in block pavements are approximately ten times greater than that in asphalt pavements. The deflection ratios of the block pavement due to the increase in the load range from 1.2 to 1.5, indicating that the deflection increased by 20~50%. The material coefficients of the nonlinear soil model were determined by comparing the measured deflections with the predicted deflections using the finite element method. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, the nonlinear behavior of block pavements was reviewed using multi-load level FWD testing. The deflection ratio proposed in this study can estimate the nonlinearity of block pavements. The use of nonlinear soil model in subbase and subgrade increases the accuracy of predicting deflections in finite element method.

본 논문에서는 PVD의 설치를 위하여 사용되는 앵커슈에 의한 지반교란과 정착 메커니즘을 연구하기 위하여, 맨드렐-앵커슈의 관입과정과 인발과정을 모사하고, 시각화 할 수 있는 2차원 모형실험 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템을 활용하여, 기존 사각판형 앵커슈와 쐐기가 달린 비대칭 앵커슈의 관입과 인발 과정을 모사하는 1g 모형실험과 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 앵커슈 크기 및 종류에 따라 지반교란과 앵커슈 정착 성능을 확인하기 위해 크기가 다른 기존 사각판형 앵커슈와 쐐기형 비대칭 앵커슈의 설치과정을 모사하였다. 관입과정에서 촬영된 영상을 이미지 분석하여, 앵커슈의 크기 및 형태에 따른 점토의 교란을 시각화하고 분석하였다. 또한, 인발과정 모사를 통하여 앵커슈의 정착 메커니즘을 밝히고 인발시 정착력을 측정하여 정착 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 앵커슈의 크기는 지반교란과 인발저항력 모두에 영향을 미치며, 비대칭 앵커슈가 기존의 앵커슈에 비해 지반교란 및 배수재 정착 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 삼축압축시험(CD)과 개선된 직접전단시험 결과 얻어진 불포화토의 전단특성을 비교분석하여 새로이 개선된 직접전단시험장비의 실용성을 검증하였다. 2010년 경기도 양평군 토석류 발생사면에서 채취한 시료를 대상으로 불포화토 상태의 전단강도실험을 수행하였다. 다른 두 종류의 실험방법에서 낮은 모관흡수력이 작용하는 경우는 전단강도와 선형적인 관계를 나타내며, 모관흡수력의 증가함에 따라 불포화토의 겉보기 점착력 역시 선형적으로 증가하였다. 다른 두 실험장비에 의한 결과를 비교한 결과, 산정된 불포화토의 강도정수($c^{\prime}$, ${\phi}^b$)는 전단 상자의 구속효과가 있는 개선된 직접전단시험에서 다소 크게 나타났다.

Soil shear strength parameters play a remarkable role in designing geotechnical structures such as retaining wall and dam. This study puts an effort to propose two accurate and practical predictive models of soil shear strength parameters via hybrid artificial neural network (ANN)-based models namely genetic algorithm (GA)-ANN and particle swarm optimization (PSO)-ANN. To reach the aim of this study, a series of consolidated undrained Triaxial tests were conducted to survey inherent strength increase due to addition of polypropylene fibers to sandy soil. Fiber material with different lengths and percentages were considered to be mixed with sandy soil to evaluate cohesion (as one of shear strength parameter) values. The obtained results from laboratory tests showed that fiber percentage, fiber length, deviator stress and pore water pressure have a significant impact on cohesion values and due to that, these parameters were selected as model inputs. Many GA-ANN and PSO-ANN models were constructed based on the most effective parameters of these models. Based on the simulation results and the computed indices' values, it is observed that the developed GA-ANN model with training and testing coefficient of determination values of 0.957 and 0.950, respectively, performs better than the proposed PSO-ANN model giving coefficient of determination values of 0.938 and 0.943 for training and testing sets, respectively. Therefore, GA-ANN can provide a new applicable model to effectively predict cohesion of fiber-reinforced sandy soil.

Recently, due to labor shortages in rural areas within South Korea, the demand for upland-field machinery is growing. In addition, there is a lack of development of systematic performance testing of upland-field machinery. Thus, this study examined structural safety and drawbar pull based on soil properties, as a first step for systematic performance testing on the test bed. First, the properties of soil samples from 10 spots within the experimental site were examined. Second, the strain was measured and converted into stress on 8 points of an onion harvester that are likely to fail. More specifically, the chosen parts are linked to the power, along with the drawbar pull, using a 6-component load cell equipped between the tractor and the onion harvester. The water content of the soil ranged between 5.7%-7.5%, and the strength between 250-1171 kPa. The test soil was subsequently classified into loam soil based on the size distribution ratio of the sieved soil. The onion harvester can be considered as structurally safe based on the derived safety factor and the drawbar pull of 115-1194 kgf, according to the working speed based on agricultural fieldwork.

As the geotechnical technologies have grown, the size of civil structures has become bigger than before, thereby requiring large-scale geotechnical testing equipments which can evaluate the mechanical behavior of large size testing materials such as gravel, crushed rock and so on. These kind of large testing equipments are usually used to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of large size material which are applied in the large infra structures like dam, seashore structure, coastal landfill, soil-structure interaction and seismic response of large-scale structure. In this research, state-of-the-art information in the field of geotechnical engineering was collected and summarized for such large-scale experimental equipments as large-scale geo-centrifuge, large-scale triaxial testing machine, large-scale direct shear testing apparatus and large-scale oedometer.

A study was conducted to find out the relationship of physico-chemical properties (viz. organic carbon(OC), pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content) of ginger growing soil with incidence percentage of rhizome rot and wilt disease complex of ginger. Organic carbon content and pH of the ginger soil contributed significantly (93%) in the prediction of ginger rhizome rot and wilt disease complex incidence with negative correlation. Soil having weak acidic reaction with OC percent greater than 2.25 was observed to have the lower average incidence of the disease.

Soil volume conversion factors are used for estimation of an excavated the soil volume which will be removed or added in levelling the ground surface of a construction site. An accurate evaluation method will help us reduce a construction cost and time consuming. In this study, we performed the laboratory tests, including grain size measurement, water content, specific gravity, porosity, density and XRD tests, to suggest reliable soil volume conversion factors and weathering indices in field using nondestructive methods. The weathering index and soil volume conversion factor L are obtained for different types of soils. At results, the CIW index is the best method measuring the weathering index and the factor L is relative to natural porosity, void ratio, density and dry density.
