The objective of this study is to enhance the ultimate bearing capacity of piles embedded in marine clay by electrokinetic(EK). The focus of improvement is at interlace between soil and pile. A series laboratory test was performed in EK cell. In each of test, the pile in the centre as anode is surrounded by cathode and it was installed in the vicinity of pile with triangular layout. The pile was made by stainless and embedded with 30cm of depth. Afterward, the DC voltage was applied to electrode over period of time. It caused flowing water from anode to cathode, thus the soil in the center of box has higher bearing capacity value than in the side of box has. It is shown by increasing of un-drained shear strength(Cu) near the pile and also ultimate bearing capacity of pile increase after EK treatment. In the future work, the continuous of this study is finding the effective DC voltage and makes EK treatment more applicable in the field.

Around the Nakdong River which is one part of the repairing business of 4 Grand Rivers currently being constructed, sandy ground is distributed throughout the wide area. Many civil engineering structures such as small and medium sized dams, flood control basins, and redevelopment of reservoirs and retention reservoirs are scheduled to be constructed, so the prevention measures for liquefaction are surely needed. To identify such liquefaction, a lot of factor affecting the strength of liquefaction were studied through laboratory investigation. Most of the conducted study was about clean sands, but in the case of the real ground the sand can exist not in the clean conditions but in the conditions mostly including sand of fine grained soil. The sand of fine grained soil has become a significant factor to assess liquefaction because many cases of liquefaction happened in the silty and clayer soil. In this study, un-drained tests of plasticity index of fine grained particles were conducted with the sands from Nakdong River. In result, the study shows that dynamic shear strength characteristics differ according to the plasticity index.

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.

Adopting a rational engineering methodology for building structures on sandy-clay soil layers has become increasingly important since it is crucial when structures erected on them often face seismic and cyclic wave loads. Such loads can cause a reduction in the stiffness, strength, and stability of the structure, particularly under un-drained conditions. Hence, this study aims to investigate how the dynamic properties of sand-clay mixtures are affected by loading frequency and clay content. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed on a total of 36 samples, comprising pure sand with a relative density of 60% and sand with varying percentages of clay. The tests were conducted under confining pressures of 50 and 100 kPa, and the samples' dynamic behavior was analyzed at loading frequencies of 0.1, 1, and 4 Hz. The findings indicate that an increase in confining pressure leads to greater inter-particle interaction and a reduced void ratio, which results in an increase in the soil's shear modulus. An increase in the shear strength and confinement of the samples led to a decrease in energy dissipation and damping ratio. Changes in loading frequency showed that as the frequency increased, the damping ratio decreased, and the strength of the samples increased. Increasing the loading frequency not only reflects changes in frequency but also reduces the relative permeability and enhances the resistance of samples. An analysis of the dynamic properties of sand and sand-clay mixtures indicates that the introduction of clay to a sand sample reduces the shear modulus and permeability properties.
