With the development and utilization of urban underground space, the artificial ground freezing technology has been widely used in the construction of underground engineering in soft soil areas. The mechanical properties of soft clay changed greatly after freezing and thawing, which affected the seismic performance of underground structures. In this paper, a series of triaxial tests were carried out to study the dynamic response of the freezing-thawing clay under the seismic load considering different dynamic stress amplitudes and different confining pressures. The reduction factor of dynamic shear stress was determined to correct the amplitude of the seismic load. The deformation development mode, the stress-strain relationship and the energy dissipation behavior of the soft clay under the seismic load were analyzed. An empirical model for predicting accumulative plastic strain was proposed and validated considering the loading times, the confining pressures and the dynamic stress amplitudes. The relevant research results can provide a theoretical reference to the seismic design of underground structures in soft clay areas.

The deformation coordination between a rock/soil mass and an optical sensing cable is an important issue for accurate deformation monitoring. A stress-controlled triaxial apparatus was retrofitted by introducing an optical fiber into the soil specimen. High spatial resolution optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) was used for monitoring the strain distribution along the axial direction of the specimen. The results were compared with those measured by a displacement meter. The strain measured by the optical sensing cable has a good linear relationship with the strain calculated by the displacement meter for different confining pressures, which indicates that distributed optical fiber sensing technology is feasible for soil deformation monitoring. The performance of deformation coordination between the sensing cable and the soil during unloading is higher than that during loading based on the strain transfer coefficients. Three hypothetical strain distributions of the triaxial specimen are proposed, based on which theoretical models of the strain transfer coefficients are established. It appears that the parabolic distribution of specimen strain should be more reasonable by comparison. Nevertheless, the strain transfer coefficients obtained by the theoretical models are higher than the measured coefficients. On this basis, a strain transfer model considering slippage at the interface of the sensing cable and the soil is discussed.

We considered the variation of elastic wave velocity due to the anisotropy of rock materials and stress level for acoustic emission (AE) source location in cylindrical rock specimens. Elastic wave velocity and AE were measured for Keochang granite and Yeosan marble under various axial stresses and confining pressures. Partition approximation method was suggested and it was compared with the difference approximation method and the least square method.

본 연구에서는 기존의 액상화 평가방법과 국내의 지진규모(M=6.5)를 고려한 수정 상세예측법을 비교 분석하였다. 액상화 발생 가능성은 흙의 액상화 저항강도와 지진에 의해 토층내에 유발되는 전단응력을 비교하여 평가하였다. 지진에 의한 전단응력은 지진응답해석을 이용하여 산정하며 흙의 액상화 저항강도는 진동삼축시험결과를 이용하여 산정한다. 진동삼축시험은 상대밀도(50%, 60%, 70%)와 초기유효구속압(70kPa, 100kPa, 150kPa) 그리고 세립분함유량(10%, 20%, 30%)을 변화시키며 시료를 재성형하여 수행하였다. 기존의 액상화 평가방법과 수정 상세 예측법 결과를 비교해 볼 때, 수정 상세 예측법은 연약한 사질토지반$(FS \leq1.5)$에서 액상화 안전율을 기존 평가방법에 비하여 크게 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 액상화 발생가능성 판정시, 진동삼축시험에 기초한 수정 상세 예측법을 이용하도록 제안하였다. 또한 국내 발생 지진규모 6.5를 고려한 수정 상세 예측법에서의 액상화가 발생할 수 있는 최대심도는 약 15m인 것으로 나타났다.

Sand columns in clayey soil are considered one of the most economical and environmentally-friendly soil-improving techniques. It improves the shear strength parameters, reduces the settlement, and increases the bearing capacity of clayey soils. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of grain shape in sand columns on their performance in improving the mechanical properties of clayey soils. An intensive series of consolidated-drained triaxial tests were performed on clay specimens only and clay specimens with sand columns. The parameters examined during the experimental work were grain shape in sand columns (angular, rounded, sub-rounded) and effective confining pressure (50 kPa, 100 kPa, 200 kPa). The results indicated that there is a significant improvement in the deviatoric stress and stiffness values of specimens with sand columns. Improving deviatoric stress values in the use of angular sand grains was found to be higher than those in the use of sub-rounded and rounded sand grains. A 187%, 159%, and 153% increment in deviatoric stress values were observed for the sand columns with angular, sub-rounded, and rounded grain shapes, respectively. The specimens were observed to be more contractive as the sand column was installed, and as the angularity of grains in the sand column was increased. Sand column installation improves significantly the angle of internal friction, and the effective angle of internal friction increases as the angularity of the sand grains increases.

Triaxial behavior of concrete cylinders wrapped with FRP material has been investigated for the increase of concrete strength by lateral confinement. Using the model by Richart et al., a modified empirical equation was proposed to estimate the strength of concrete cylinders with FRP confinement based on the linear relationship between the concrete strength and lateral confining pressure. From the experimental stress-strain result of the cylinder specimens having similar confining pressure, less ductility was observed for higher strength concrete. But the compressive strength of the specimen was linearly increased by lateral confinement. The confinement effectiveness coefficient for the strength enhancement of the cylinders by FRP wrap was obtained as 2.27 from the regression analysis.

본 연구에서는 토목섬유가 층상으로 보강된 슬래그 재료의 전단강도와 변형특성을 다루었다. PET mat와 같은 토목섬유에 의한 보강이 슬래그의 전단강도와 변형특성에 미치는 영향을 조사 및 분석하기 위해 압밀배수 조건 하에서의 대형삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 연구에 사용된 슬래그 재료는 현장에서 사용되는 재료와 동일한 재료로서 scale effect로 인한 문제점은 없었다. 토목섬유로 보강된 슬래그의 응력-변형율 거동은 무보강시 보다 다일러턴시의 양이 작고, 축변형율 증가시 항복 이후에도 축차응력이 증가하는 변형율경화(strain hardening) 거동을 나타내었다. 토목섬유로 보강된 슬래그 재료의 겉보기 점착력과 내부마찰각 등의 강도정수는 보강되지 않은 경우의 값보다 1.2-1.4배 정도 크고, 구속압 수준이 클수록 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 슬래그를 사용한 제방의 설계나 시공시 슬래그 재료에 토목섬유를 층상으로 보강하여 사용할 경우에는 강도증가 효과에 의해 안전율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

이 연구에서는 화학액으로서 해안가에서 쉽게 영향 받는 염분을 사용하였다. 염분 용액으로 포화된 모래 벤토나이트 혼합토를 사용하여 압밀 비배수 삼축압축 시험을 실시하였다. 변형과 강도정수를 삼축압축시험을 통하여 구속응력과 염수의 농도 변화에 따라 구하였다. 실험 결과 영수로 포화된 흙과 벤토나이트의 점착력은 염수의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하며 내부마찰각은 변화가 없고 탄성계수는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

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.
