The paper presents the analysis of two groups of piles subjected to lateral loads incorporating the non-linear behaviour of soil. The finite element method is adopted for carrying out the parametric study of the pile groups. The pile is idealized as a one dimensional beam element, the pile cap as two dimensional plate elements and the soil as non-linear elastic springs using the p-y curves developed by Georgiadis et al. (1992). Two groups of piles, embedded in a cohesive soil, involving two and three piles in series and parallel arrangement thereof are considered. The response of the pile groups is found to be significantly affected by the parameters such as the spacing between the piles, the number of piles in a group and the orientation of the lateral load. The non-linear response of the system is, further, compared with the one by Chore et al. (2012) obtained by the analysis of a system to the present one, except that the soil is assumed to be linear elastic. From the comparison, it is observed that the non-linearity of soil is found to increase the top displacement of the pile group in the range of 66.4%-145.6%, while decreasing the fixed moments in the range of 2% to 20% and the positive moments in the range of 54% to 57%.

PURPOSES : The first generation of wide base tires introduced in the early 1980s was found to cause a significant increase in pavement damage compared to dual-tire assemblies. However, wide base tires have evolved considerably, and a new generation of wide base tire is thought to be comparable to conventional dual tires for pavement damage. A challenge associated with using wide base tires is the accurate quantification of pavement damage induced by these tires. The objective of this study was to investigate the responses of flexible pavement to continuously moving vehicular loading under various tire configurations. METHODS : The comparison of the strain/stress responses of full-depth pavement caused by conventional dual tire assembly and new generation of wide-base tires was performed. The FE model incorporates linear viscoelasticity of asphalt material and continuous moving load using implicit dynamic analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : The result demonstrates that the new wide-base tires caused slightly more fatigue damage and less primary rutting damage in HMA layer than a dual-tire assembly, but caused more secondary rutting damage in subgrade than a dual tire assembly.

지진 작용에 대한 지하매설관의 안전설계를 위한 연구가 최근 활발히 진행중이다. 매설관의 파괴원인 중 하나는 관로 주위 흙의 액화영향이다. 최근 쉐이킹 테이블로 흙의 액화 현상을 야기하여 매설 관로 모텔의 거동에 대한 실험적 연구와 해설적 연구들이 수행되었다. 해석적 연구에서 구한 결과들은 실험치의 2배 이상이었다. 그러므로 본연구는 매설관로의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 흙의 액화과정에 따른 동적 토압 및 수압계수, 감쇄계수 및 동적 지반계수들을 보다 실험에 근사하게 나타내고 비선형 운동 방정식을 작성하여 시간 이력 해석을 한다.

근세 사회의 눈부신 산업발전과 함께 늘어나는 빈번한 차량 하중을 좀더 합리적으로 충분히 노반에 분산시키기 위하여 콘크리트포장이 근래 널리 이용 되어져 왔다. 아스팔트계 포장의 표층이 휨응력에 저항하지 못하고 하중을 받으면 표층의 변형이 그대로 노반에 전달되어 일체로되어 변형을 하지만 콘크리트 포장은 콘크리트 슬래브가 구조체로서의 높은 휨강도와 큰 탄성계수에 의해 휨응력 및 전단력에도 저항을 하게 되므로 차량하중뿐만 아니라 주기적인 온도 변화에 의한 팽창, 수축, 솟음, 노상 노반의 체적변화등에 의한 복잡한 응력을 받게된다. 이러한 콘크리트 포장구조의 제응력 현상을 구조 역학적인 입장에서 좀더 정확하게 합리적으로 해석을 하기위해 유한요소법을 이용한 컴퓨터 구조해석 프로그램을 개발하여 모든 하중 조건하에서의 슬래브 처짐과 응력을 계산하고 예상하므로써 콘크리트 포장구조의 파괴현상을 연구하고 합리적인 설계자료를 제공하고자 한다.

Millions of scrap tires are discarded annually in Turkey. The bulk of which are currently landfilled or stockpiled. These tires consume valuable landfill space or if improperly disposed, create a fire hazard and provide a prolific breeding ground for rats and mosquitoes. Used tires pose both a serious public and environmental health problem which means that economically feasible alternatives for scrap tire disposal must be found. Some of the current uses of scrap tires are tire-derived fuel, creating barrier reefs and as an asphalt additive in the form of crumb rubber. However, there is a much need for the development of additional uses for scrap tires. One development the creation of shreds from scrap tires that are coarse grained, free draining and have a low compacted density thus offering significant advantages for use as lightweight subgrade fill and backfill material. This paper reports a comprehensive laboratory study that was performed to evaluate the use of a shredded tire-sand mixture as a backfill material in trench conditions. A steel frame test tank with glass walls was created to replicate a classical trench section in field conditions. The results of the test demonstrated that shredded tires mixed with sand have a definite potential to be effectively used as backfill material for buried pipe installations.

흙노반으로 이루어진 철도 구간의 경우 반복적인 하중재하에 따라 탄성상태로 복귀하는 회복변형과 영구 변형이 동시에 발생한다. 따라서 열차하중이 반복적으로 작용하는 철도하부 지반에서의 변형예측을 위하여 반복하중에 대한 장기변형 예측이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최적함수비 범위에서의 최적함수비의 일반토사를 대상으로 진동삼축압축시험과 원형토조시험을 통해 반복하중에 따른 변형 특성을 비교하였으며, 파워함수 모델을 이용하여 각 재료별 축차응력과 반복횟수를 고려한예측모델식을 제안하였다.

동일한 물성을 가지는 포장이라도 포장의 구조적인 형상에 따라 역해석 결과가 다르게 나타난다. 본 논문에서는, 구조적인 형상을 고정하고 동적 하중을 모사하는 3차원 유한요소모델을 만들어 얻어진 최대 처짐과 AREA의 분포를 통해서 물성을 추정하는 수정된 AREA 도표를 제안하였다. 제안된 도표를 이용하여 단일 무한 슬래브에 대한 민감도 분석 결과 노상의 깊이가 질어지면 처짐과 AREA가 증가하는 것으로 나타났고 4.0m이상에서는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 층별 물성과 노상 깊이가 같은 경우 단일 무한 슬래브 모델과 다중 유한 슬래브 모델을 비교하는 경우 다중 유한 슬래브 모델의 처짐과 AREA가 더 크게 나타났다.

복합말뚝은 서로 다른 재질을 사용하여 말뚝을 구성하는 말뚝으로 상부는 강관말뚝 하부는 콘크리트 말뚝으로 구성된 말뚝을 선 굴착 공법으로 시공하였다. 말뚝에는 7쌍의 변형률계와 경사계를 설치하여 말뚝의 수평재하시험 중 말뚝에 작용하는 응력과 변위를 측정하였다. 측정된 계측치는 여러 가지 이론적 공식을 이용하여 분석 비교하는 역 해석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 공식들로부터 예측한 말뚝에 작용하는 응력은 실제 측정된 값보다 크게 평가 되었으며, 말뚝상부에 응력이 크게 측정되다가 말뚝깊이에 따라 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 측정된 응력은 모두 말뚝재질의 응력을 초과 하지 않아 복합말뚝의 설계개념을 검증할 수 있었다.

Railway tracks are the direct supporting structures of the trains, which are vulnerable to produce large deformation under the temperature stress or subgrade settlement. The health status of track is critical, and the track should be routinely monitored to improve safety, lower the risk of excess deformation and provide reliable maintenance strategy. In this paper, the distributed optical fiber sensor was proposed to monitor the continuous deformation of the track. In order to validate the feasibility of the monitoring method, two deformation monitoring tests on one steel rail model in laboratory and on one real railway tack in outdoor were conducted respectively. In the model test, the working conditions of simply supported beam and continuous beam in the rail model under several concentrated loads were set to simulate different stress conditions of the real rail, respectively. In order to evaluate the monitoring accuracy, one distributed optical fiber sensor and one fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor were installed on the lower surface of the rail model, the strain measured by FBG sensor and the strain calculated from FEA were taken as measurement references. The model test results show that the strain measured by distributed optical fiber sensor has a good agreement with those measured by FBG sensor and FEA. In the outdoor test, the real track suffered from displacement and temperature loads. The distributed optical fiber sensor installed on the rail can monitor the corresponding strain and temperature with a good accuracy.

A single slab concrete pavement has been modeled and analyzed by ABAQUS program. The stress and displacement of the JCP slab under traffic load with frictionless contact interaction between slab and base calculated by ABAQUS program have been compared with the results obtained by KENSLABS program. The results of the stresses of the two modeling show similar tendency and the difference of the two modeling is very small however the results of the displacement of the two modeling show some dissimilarity. In order to analyze the effects of material and geometric properties on the responses of slab, some varying parameters were chosen as input for the modeling. The changing parameters include the thickness and elastic modulus of the concrete slab, the thickness and elastic modulus of base and the elastic modulus of the subgrade. The contact interaction between the slab and base layer had been also studied and different friction coefficient 0, 2.5, 6.6, 7.5, 8.9 had been used to simulate the different friction interface condition. The results of the analysis showed that the responses of the concrete slab vary with the material and geometric properties of the pavement structure and the slab-base friction condition.
