The composite lattice structures have advantages of high specific stiffness and strength and are mainly applied to the structures of launch vehicles that carry the compressive load. However, since these structures are manufactured by filament winding technology, there are some defects and voids found in the knots. For these reasons, the stiffness and strength of the lattice structures have to be compared with finite element model for predicting design load. But, the full scale test is difficult because time and space are limited and the shape of structure is complex, and hence the simple and reliable test methods for examination of stiffness are needed. In this paper, subelements of composite lattice structures were prepared and compressive and bending test were conducted for examination of stiffness of helical and hoop rib. Test methods for subelements of composite lattice structures that has curved and twisted shape were supposed and compared with finite element analysis results.

The compression and tension test were performed to evaluate the stiffnesses of the conical composite lattice structures and results of test were compared with finite element analysis results. Because of difficulty to perform simple tension and compression test due to conical shape, suitable specimens and jig for test were made. Subelements extracted from the structure were prepared for compression test. Compression test of subelement was performed and compressive strains in fiber direction were measured. Compressive stiffness of the helical rib was verified by finite element analysis results. For stiffness of hoop rib, hoop ring specimens were extracted from the structure. Tension test of hoop ring specimen was performed to apply bending deformation to hoop rib. Stiffness of hoop rib was verified by finite element model considering various fiber volume fraction in thickness direction.

There are few attempts to estimate the strength and stiffness of controlled low strength material (CLSM) using existing field-testing methods. The objective of this study is to evaluate the resilient modulus of CLSM by using the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) and investigate the relationships between the resilient modulus from LWD and the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and secant modulus of elasticity from unconfined compressive test. Five CLSMs with different mix designs are used to evaluate the flowability and the stiffening of the CLSM in the flow and Vicat needle tests, respectively. To evaluate the early strength and stiffness characteristics, unconfined compressive tests are performed using the CLSM specimens cured for 1 and 7 days. LWD tests are carried out to estimate the resilient modulus of the CLSM specimens. The experimental results show that for the curing time of 1 day, the UCS and secant modulus of elasticity generally increase with the fast setting mortar content (FC). The CLSM specimen with the highest FC shows the significant increase in the UCS and secant modulus of elasticity along the curing time. Overall, the resilient modulus for the curing time of 1 day increases with the FC, while that for the curing time of 7days decreases with an increase in the FC. From the results, the linear relationships between the resilient modulus and UCS and secant modulus of elasticity are established.

Acoustic emission is n burst of microseismic waves generated by microscopic failure due to deformation in materials. The study on the detection of initiation and propagation of microcracks from acoustic emission measurement is very important for the evaluation of the stability of underground rock structures by the nondestructive letting method. In this study, acoustic emission was measured under uniaxial stiffness loading test used to obtain the complete stress-strain curves of marble and concrete used as reinforced materials of rock structures. The analysis of acoustic emission parameters and source location were performed to discuss the characteristics of the deformation and failure behavior of rock and concrete. And acoustic emission was measured under cyclic loading test to verify the Kaiser effect associated with the damage of materials, in situ stress of rock, and stress history of concrete structure.

In urban area, many design projects related to geotechnical projects are controlled by serviceability rather than stability requirements. Accordingly, control of ground deformation has become more crucial and many researchers have studied soil stiffness. Recent experimental studies on the stress-strain response of Chicago glacial clays showed that the nonlinearity and anisotropy are the two key factors in evaluating the soil stiffness. In this study, experimental results are applied to analyze the deep excavation site locating in downtown Chicago. The stress paths observed from the observation points located behind and front of the supporting wall yield typical stress paths. Changes in soil stiffness nonlinearity and anisotropy were discussed by comparing experimental and computed stress paths. The stiffness anisotropy were significant even at the first few excavations. The stiffness degradation characteristics are significantly different according to relative location to the support wall even at the same elevation.

In this study, we performed experimental tests on five SP-100 aluminum powder epoxy specimens with several after-curing conditions in order to estimate their hardness with temperature and compressive strength. In the surface hardness test, it was found that the higher the after-curing temperature, the higher was the hardness. In particular, it was found that the hardness of the specimens in cases 3 and 4 was much higher than in the other cases. In addition, in the compression tests carried out to evaluate the compressive strength, it was found that the specimens showed relatively similar stiffness and strength with after-curing, and specimens with no after-curing showed compression stress-strain curves similar to those of thermoplastic resins.

The performance of the improved soil against liquefaction depends upon the chemical density, and it has been decided on the basis of the unconfined compressive strength of the improved soil up to date. On the other hand, several authors have proposed that the stiffness degradation could be treated as the clue for the judgment of the possibility of liquefaction. In this study, therefore, the stiffness degradation of the improved soil was estimated as the resistance against liquefaction by using the strain controlled cyclic triaxial test equipment. Based on the test results, it is concluded that the chemically treated sand can resist against the liquefaction in aspect of the reduction in effective stress and in the stiffness. Furthermore, even in the case of low chemical density, such as 2% in this study, has enough liquefaction resistance when compared with the 5~6% which often used in practical design. Considering this fact, the design of chemical density based on the unconfined strength can lead the overestimation in chemical density, and chemical density can be reduced when considering the stiffness reduction shown in this study.

배수성과 인장강성을 가지는 복합 보강재를 사용하여 보강한 포화점성토의 거동에 선행하중이 미치는 영향을 조사하기위하여 평면변형을 시험을 수행하였다. 보강하지 않은 공시체와 보강한 공시체에 대하여 이방압밀(K=0.3, σ3'=50kPa)을 실시하고 비배수 및 배수전단시험을 일정변형율 속도를 실시하였다. 선행하중을 가한 시험의 경우는 이방압밀후 소정의 선행하중을 가하여 크리이프, 제하, 에이징 후에 비배수 전단시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 분석한 결과 포화전성성토와 같이 연약한 토질이라도 다짐을 잘하고 보강토의 큰 배수압툭강도를 이용하여 큰 배수압축강도를 이용하여 큰 선행하중을 가하여 과압밀 상태로 함으로써 비배수 전단시에 큰 초기강성을 가지는 것을 알수 있었다. 즉, 점성토의 보강토의 경우 보강에 의한 배수강도의 증가는 큰 선행하중을 가하기 위하여 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.
