This work is to study experimentally the measurment of pore air pressure according to rainfall in colluvium model and the characteristics of pore water pressure according to increasement of artesian ground water head. After modeling a geological feature of the Tertiary formation, the experiment was performed about sixty times on three kinds of soil. This experimental results showed the variation of pore water and pore air pressures with time, the change of void ratio and appling pressure head in the nonsaturated soil. It can be also expressed by the final pore water and the air reaction ratios and then formularizing the relationship between the permeability coefficient and the void ratio. In the results of this experiment, the patterns of the pore water pressure reaction are classified by the step-type and the wave-type, and the time-lag to reach final point of pore water pressure is in order sand, sandy silt and clayey sand.

관입체 주변에서 발생하는 지반의 과잉간극수압은 그 측정위치에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 관입체의 선단과 축표면에서의 간극수압반응은 상당히 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반에 대한 관입시험시 주변지반에서 발생하는 간극수압의 반응에 대하여 Louisiana State University의 시험토조를 사용하여 조사하였다. 또한 시험결과를 비등방성 수정 Cam Clay 모델을 이용한 유한요소해석과 비교하였다. 본 연구로부터 관입체 주위에서 발생하는 간극수압은 예측한 바와 같이 선단부위에서 크게 나타나고, 뒤로 갈수록 작아지는 현상을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 현상은 전단에 의하여 발생한 간극수압과 압축에 의하여 발생한 간극수압의 상호간섭에 의한 것으로 나타났다.

Control of ground water is one of the most important factors for long-term operation of tunnel because most of tunnel is located in the ground. In case of leakage tunnel, there is no pore water pressure on the lining when the drainage system is properly working. After long-term operation, however, the pore water pressure can be developed on the lining due to the deterioration of the drainage system. The increased pore water pressure on the lining is termed here as 'residual pore water pressure'. Residual pore water pressure can be measured by piezometer, but it is generally not allowed because of damages of drainage system. Therefore, an indirect and nondestructive method is required for evaluating the residual pore water pressure. Moreover, understanding of pore water pressure is needed during healthy operation of the lining. In this study, a new method for evaluation of pore water pressure on the lining during operation is proposed using theoretical and numerical analysis. It is shown that the method is particularly useful for stability investigation of pore water pressure on the lining during operation using theoretical analysis with normalized pore water pressure curve.

In this research, shaking table tests for three types of gravity quay wall system were performed to analyze the influence of excess pore pressure in backfill soils on the natural frequency of gravity quay wall systems. The elastic modulus of backfill soils was also estimated from the back analyses using the results of the shaking table tests. From the test results, it was observed that as the magnitude of excess pore pressures increased, the natural frequency of the gravity quay wall system decreased and vice versa. The natural frequency was about 44Hz when no excess pore pressure was generated in backfill soils, and decreased to about 16Hz at the pore pressure ratio of 0.55. The elastic modulus of backfill soils reached the constant maximum value when the pore pressure ratio was less than 0.2, and abruptly decreased as the pore pressure ratio became larger than that. The elastic modulus of backfill soils decreased to $10\%$ of the maximum value when the pore pressure ratio was 0.55.

This paper presents triaxial test (CIVC and CKOUC) results on normally consolidated deep sea clay samples. Based on the test results the pore pressure-strain relations for both isotropicaly and anisotropicaly consgidated samples are expressed with hyperbolic functions of the major princpal strain. The analysis of the difference in pore pressure behavior due to the anisotropy in consolidation stress is carried out with the effective stress pathos of CIVC and CKOUC and finds a factor which correlates the pore pressure of two types of test.

본 논문에서는 석탄회 매립지반의 액상화 가능성을 평가하기 위해 순수 모래시료와 더불어서 모래시료와 석탄회가 혼합된 모래시료에 대한 일련의 진동삼축실험을 변형률제어 방법으로 수행하였다. 실험결과 진동하중에 의해서 시료 내에 발생하는 간극수압의 크기는 작용하는 전단변형률의 크기에 심각하게 영향을 받고, 작용하는 전단변형률이 지반의 한계전단변형률 보다 작은 경우에는 진동수가 높은 조건에서도 간극수압이 발생하지 않음을 알았다. 또한 전단변형률이 약 0.1%보다 작고 한계전단변형률에 가까운 경우에는 순수 모래시료와 비교하여 본 논문에서 조사한 석탄회 함유율 범위 (10%~30%)의 시료에서 간극수압이 더 크게 발생하였다. 반면에, 전단변형률이 큰 경우에는 순수 모래시료에서 간극수압이 크게 발생하는 추세를 보였다. 반복 전단에 따른 간극수압의 발생량은 전반적으로 석탄회 함유율이 증가할수록 커지는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 해안이나 하천에 인접한 한계지 개발에 있어서 사질토에 석탄회를 혼합 매립하여 지반을 조성하는 경우에 액상화에 대해서 불안정한 지반이 될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

Carbonate sand of Sabkha layer in the middle east was made of deposition of shell fragments and it consisted of porous particles containing inner void. Generally, at yield stress the soil structure begins to break down, so the porewater pressure and the settlement are increased rapidly. In carbonate sand, unlike quartz sand if particle crushing happens, the inner voids are exposed and porewater pressure can be decreased under yield stress. Porewater pressure can be determined as the sum of excess porewater pressure due to increase of relative density, inner void expose of particle under particle crushing stress and rearrangement of crushed particle fragments. The porewater pressure can be negative value in case of greater amount of inner void expose, so if particle crushing is bigger, the porewater pressure value is smaller. The negative value zone of porewater pressure from triaxial test result means particle crushing effect is bigger than outer void decrease effect and the particle crushing effect dominant zone size was 1.50∼3.46% from triaxial test result of Sabkha layer.

An existing numerical model fo r determining the wave field and pore pressures inside rubble mound breakwater was reformulated here especially to enhance the predictability of interior pore pressures. The pore pressures strongly depend on the nonlinear wave field occurring along frontal slope which is very difficult to be numerically reproduced. In the present study, hence, the amplitude and phase informations of wave pressures along the frontal slope are obtained directly through a hydraulic model test and are incorporated into the numerical model. The interior wave field is analyzed by a boundary element method, and thereby the pore pressures are determined. It was found that the calculated pore pressures agreed quite well with experimental values.

One of the major elements of a natural landslide is the increase of the pore water pressure in a weakened layer. Therefore, the measurement of the pore water pressure in the layer is important. This work is a laboratory model study of the measurement of the pore water pressure with regard to the confined groundwater level, the permeability of the crack zone and the weathering degree of the weakened layer. By the model of the Tertiary period failure type and the Colluvium failure type, the reactions of the pore air pressure and the pore water pressure were measured in the weakened layer according to the permeability of the filter on the condition of the confined groundwater states. On the reaction phase of the pore pressure according to the during time, the Tertiary period failure type proved to be a step type and the Colluvium failure type turned out to be a wave type. The reaction ratios of the pore water pressure in the Tertiary period failure type are higher than the Colluvium failure type, decrease according to increasing of the weathering degree of the weakened layer.
