In this study, an optimized design of a triaxial load cell has been developed by the use of finite element analysis, design of experiment and response surface method. The developed optimal design was further validated by both stress-strain analysis and natural vibration analysis under an applied load of 30 kgf. When vertical, horizontal, and axial loads of 30 kgf were applied to the load cell with the optimal design, the calculated strains were satisfied with the required strain range of $500{\times}10^{-6}{\pm}10%$. The natural vibration analysis exhibited that the fundamental natural frequency of the optimally designed load cell was 5.56 kHz and higher enough than a maximum frequency of 0.17 kHz which can be applied to the load cell for wind-tunnel tests. The satisfactory sensitivity in all triaxial directions also suggests that the currently proposed design of the triaxial load cell enables accurate measurements of the multi-axial forces in wind-tunnel tests.

In constructions of dams and ports structure, gravels are used as principle structural materials. Gravels have different material property compared with other materials like soil and concretes, etc. For example, material properties of gravels obtained from normal triaxial compression test are usually overestimated due to scale and penetration effects. Also, material properties of gravels under dynamic loads are the main interest when structural behavior of rockfill dam under earthquake loads is analyzed. The development of large triaxial compression apparatus is needed for the better estimation of material property of gravel. This paper reports work in progress to development of large triaxial compression apparatus.

In this study, the load distribution and deformation of rock-socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial load are investigated based on small scale model tests. In order to analyze the effects of major influencing factors of end bearing capacity, Hoek-cell triaxial tests were performed. From the test results, it was found that the initial slope of end bearing load transfer (q-w) curve was highly dependent on rock mass modulus and pile diameter, while the ultimate unit toe resistance ($q_{max}$) was influenced by rock mass modulus and the spacing of discontinuities. End bearing load transfer function of drilled shafts socketed in rock was proposed based on the Hoek-cell triaxial test results and the field loading tests which were performed on granite and gneiss in South Korea. Through the comparison with pile load tests, it is found that the load-transfer curve by the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by field loading tests, and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of load transfer of drilled shaft.

원통형 시료의 측면에 일정하게 구속압이 적용되는 통상적인 삼축시험 셀과는 달리, GREAT 셀은 독립적으로 제어되는 8쌍의 측면 가압장치들을 이용하여 차등적으로 구속압을 가할 수 있고, 이를 통해 다양한 크기와 방향의 수평 응력장을 생성시킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 선행 논문에서는 다양한 역학적 재하 조건에서 GREAT 셀 시험을 수치해석적으로 모사하고, 원주변형률에 대한 수치해석 및 실험측정 결과를 비교하여 적용된 수치모델의 적정성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 역학적 재하 조건과 유체흐름 조건을 함께 고려하여 균열이 포함된 인공시료에 대한 GREAT 셀 시험을 수치모사하였다. 값이 알려지지 않은 균열면의 역학적 물성을 다양하게 설정하여 시료의 거동(원주변형률)에 대한 수치해석과 실험 결과를 비교하였으며, 균열면의 특정 역학적 조건에서 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 검토되었다. 추가적으로 유체흐름 조건이 시료의 역학적 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

조립재료는 철도, 도로, 댐 등의 대형 지반구조물의 중요한 성토재료로 활용되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 조립재료에 대한 정확한 물성산정은 합리적인 설계와 시공을 위해 필수적이다. 하지만 대입경의 조립재료를 실험하기 위한 장비가 부족하여 이에 대한 연구가 매우 제한적이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 직경 500mm, 300mm, 150mm 등의 공시체에 대한 실험이 기능한 대형삼축압축시험장비를 구축하였다. 본 장비에서는 로드셀을 삼축셀 안에 설치하고, 미소변형률 수준에서의 제어와 변위측정의 정확도를 높이기 위해 시편 중간 영역의 변형을 측정하였다. 본 장비의 동적물성실험 검증을 위해 같은 강성으로 직경 300mm와 50mm의 우레탄 5쌍을 제작하였다. 대형삼축압축시험장비를 이용해서는 직경 300mm의 대형 우레탄 시편에 대한 실험을 수행하였으며, 소형(직경 50mm) 우레탄 시편에 대한 RC/TS, 충격반향기법시험 등을 수행하였다. 시험 결과에서 본 장비의 합리적 시험 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Numerical simulations for large scale triaxial tests with large diameter rockfill materials are conducted using distinct element method. For generation of compacted assembly with specific grain size distribution and initial material porosity, the clump logic method and expansion of generated particles are adapted. With micro parameters which are chosen by calibration process, discrete particle modelling of triaxial test in case of other confining stress and cyclic loading condition were conducted. Also numerical simulations of fluid injection into particulate materials were conducted to observe cavity initiation and propagation using distinct element method. The fluid scheme solves the continuity and Navior-Stokes equations numerically, then derives pressure and velocity vectors for fixed grid by considering the existence of particles within the fluid cell.

Strength evaluation of soft soils is a formidable task because of difficulties in sampling, specimen preparation and setting in triaxial cells. In undrained triaxial testing, sampling disturbance, verticality of specimen and bedding effect give a great influence on shear strength measurements. In the other hand, shear wave measurements of specimens are less influenced by these factors. In this research, the bender elements were attached top cap and base pedestal of triaxial cell and shear wave velocities were measured. To initiate a methodology to evaluate shear strength indirectly by measuring shear wave velocity, a relationship between shear strength and shear wave velocity was developed with kaolinite specimens consolidated in the laboratory. Undrained shear strength turns out to increase linearly with shear wave velocity. Stress-strain curves can also be predicted with a hyperbolic model and shear wave measurements.

Coarse granular materials such as gravel and crushed stone have been used as an important fill materials to large soil structure of railway, road, dam and so on. Although much studies for general soil materials have been carried out domestically, the studies for coarse materials were insufficient. Particularly, it is the level in which the study for dynamic properties(Elastic modulus and damping ratio) of coarse materials, applies the foreign country literature. This is due to the lack of large equipment for element test. But large soil structures made of coarse granular materials are generally important infrastructures. Therefore, the reliable design parameters for coarse materials should be obtained for safe and economic design, construction and maintenance. Triaxial test is the laboratory test method that is capable of controlling a confining pressure and boundary condition. In this project, we made a multi-purpose large triaxial testing system. This testing system is able to test coarse granular materials with maximum particle diameter of 100mm and support both the load control and displacement control. The load cell is installed inside of triaxial cell and the axial displacement is measured locally in order to control and measure more accurately in the small strain level. The verification test of this testing system was carried out with urethane verification specimens. So, from now on the useful information for coarse granular materials are expected to suggested by performing many tests with various material and condition.
