This study suggests three spatial distribution functions of strength parameters, which can be adopted in the derivation of failure conditions for transversely isotropic rocks. All three proposed functions, which are the oblate spheroidal function, the exponential function, and the function based on the directional projection of the strength parameter tensor, consist of two model parameters. With assumption that the cohesion and friction angle can be described by the proposed distribution functions, the transversely isotropic Mohr-Coulomb criterion is formulated and used as a failure condition in the simulation of the conventional triaxial tests. The simulation results confirm that the failure criteria incorporating the proposed distribution functions could reproduce the general trend in the variations of the axial stress at failure and the directions of failure planes with varying inclination of the weankness planes and confining pressure. Among three distribution functions, the function based on the directional projection of the strength parameter tensor yields the highest axial strength, while the axial strength estimated by the oblate spheroidal distribution function is the lowest.

An extensive tension experiment was carried out to examine the variation of tensile strength in moist sand having moisture contents in the range of 0.5% < w < 4.0% with newly developed direct tension apparatus. It was observed that tensile strength of sand varied as functions of moisture content, relative density, presence of fines, and level of precompression. Tensile strength increases with increasing moisture content and fines, and this trend is more noticeable at increasing relative densities. However, the influences of relative density and fines on the tensile strength are substantially dependent on the water content. These effects are reduced at low moisture levels (w < 0.5%). The precompression effects also depend on the water content but less on the duration and level of the precompression.

A study on strength decrease due to water contents through infiltration has been conducted with 9 rocks of high frequency in Korea. It has been proved that a strength decrease through infiltration has high dependence on rock strengths ranges while the species of rock have no impact. It has been found that the weaker the rocks are, the more sensitive the strength decreases are, and that water content of 0.5% corresponds to strength decrease of almost 50%. Another finding is that most rocks have a failure when water content is about one quarter~one half of its saturation. It has been shown that the weakening of rock strength due to water content results from leaching and the weakening of bonding strength of cementation materials.

화재와 같은 고온의 환경에서 콘크리트의 고강도화는 폭렬(Explosive Spalling)이라는 큰 위험성을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 폭렬의 원인으로는 콘크리트 내부의 수증기압이 가장 큰 원인으로 제기되고 있다. 본 논문은 콘크리트의 폭렬발생 있어서 압축강도 및 함수율이 초기 폭렬특성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 검토하기위하여 건축구조물의 화재 온도조건인 ISO834 화재온도이력곡선을 15분, 30분 적용하여 콘크리트의 초기 폭렬특성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 압축강도 가열시간 함수율이 증가할수록 폭렬발생 및 폭렬현상이 증대되는 경향이 나타났으며, 15분, 30분 가열시간에 따른 잔존강도율을 나타내었다. 또한, 압축강도 및 함수율에 따른 폭렬발생영역을 분석하였으며, 압축강도 50${\sim}$100 MPa의 경우 함수율 3%이하, 100 MPa이상의 경우는 1%이하로 제어할 경우 폭렬현상이 발생하지 않을 것으로 판단되었다.

Counting processes are widely used in many fields, whose properties are determined by the intensity function. For estimation of the parameters of the intensity functions when the process is observed continuously over a fixed interval, the likelihood function is of interest. However in the literature there are only heuristic derivations and some results are not coincident. We thus in this note derive the likelihood function of the counting process in a rigorous way. So this note fill up a hole in derivation of the likelihood function.

The unsaturated slope usually is stable for a long time, but fails during heavy rainfall. And the factors of the rainfall intensity exhibit significant roles because the water content and the shear stress developed along the potential failure surface will be changed by the rainfall intensity. The objective of the study presented in this paper is to analyze the relationship between rainfall intensity and shear stress of the soil slopes by applying the laboratory slope model apparatus and undrained direct shear test with rainfall intensity controlled. The soil sample was taken from the field slope of Youngdong, and particle size analysis was done. To look over the relationship between rainfall intensity and shear strength of slope, the three-dimensional relationships among shear strength, normal stress and water content of the slope soil samples are examined; those are based on the data from the TDR sensor and undrained direct shear test.

In order to investigate the characteristics in tensile strength of transversely isotropic rock, a new anisotropic tensile failure function was suggested. According to the function, the tensile strength is minimum in the normal direction to a weakness plane and rises exponentially to its maximum on a plane perpendicular to the weakness plane. The anisotropic function is defined in terms of three strength parameters which can be identified trom direct tensile tests of transversely isotropic rocks. By incorporating the suggested function into the critical plane approach, a numerical procedure which enables to search the tensile strength and the direction of critical plane at failure was presented. The validity of the suggested numerical procedure was checked through the simulation of direct tensile tests reported in a literature. The numerical results from the simulation were in good agreements with those from the laboratory tests.

생석회말뚝공법은 연약점토에 대한 유용한 지반개량공법으로서 그 개량효과는 매우 빨리 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 생석회말뚝 타설 면적비에 따라 연약점토지반의 함수비나 전단강도 등의 특성이 어떻게 변화하는가를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 철제상자에 연약점토로 모형지반을 조성하고 소요 면적비로 생석회말뚝을 타설한 후 적당한 시간간격을 두고 함수비와 전단강도를 측정하는 실내 모형시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 면적비가 증가함에 따라 함수비의 감소량과 전단강도의 증가량은 커지지만 면적비가 약 10%를 초과하면 별 차이를 보이지 않으며 같은 면적비에서 생석회말뚝의 지름이 작고 간격이 좁으면 함수비의 감소량과 전단강도의 증가량은 더 크다는 것을 규명하였다. 또한 같은 양을 사용했다면 생석회말뚝공법보다 생석회혼합공법을 적용한 흙의 전단강도 증가량이 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
