The factor of safety (FOS) is commonly used as an index to quantitatively state the degree of safety of various rock structures. Therefore it is important to understand the definition and characteristics of the adopted FOS because the calculated FOS may be different according to the definition of FOS even if it is estimated under the same stress condition. In this study, four local factors of safety based on maximum shear stress, maximum shear strength, stress invariants, and maximum principal stress were defined using the Mohr-Coulomb and Hoek-Brown failure criteria. Then, the variation characteristics of each FOS along five stress paths were investigated. It is shown that the local FOS based on the shear strength, which is widely used in the stability analysis of rock structures, results in a higher FOS value than those based on the maximum principal stress and the stress invariants. This result implies that the local FOS based on the maximum shear stress or the stress invariants is more necessary than the local FOS based on the shear strength when the conservative rock mechanics design is required. In addition, it is shown that the maximum principal stresses at failure may reveal a large difference depending on the stress path.

최근 지구 환경변화에 따른 기후변화의 영향으로 이상홍수 발생의 위험성이 증가하고, 상습적으로 홍수피해가 반복되고 있다. 홍수피해의 원인 중 하나인 하천제방의 붕괴는 월류, 침식, 제체불안정, 구조물에 의한 파괴 등으로 구분되고 이 중 월류 및 침식은 제방 파괴의 주된 원인으로 최근 통계자료에 보고되고 있다. 제방붕괴의 주된 원인 중 하나인 침식파괴로부터 제방을 보호하기 위해 제내지 사면에 호안공을 설치하며, 하천설계기준 해설(2009)에서는 제방 또는 하안을 유수에 의한 파괴와 침식으로부터 직접 보호하기 위해 제방 앞비탈에 설치하는 구조물로 정의하고 있다. 특히 사행하천의 만곡부에서는 제방파괴의 위험성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 국부적으로 집중되는 유속분포는 제방의 안정성을 위협한다. 또한 원심력, 2차류(secondary flow) 등에 의한 수위상승 등에 의해 제방이 파괴되고 월류되어 홍수피해가 발생할 가능성이 큰 취약지점이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 만곡부 흐름 특성을 분석하고 수리실험을 통해 측정된 유속 및 수위분포 결과와 비교하여 분석하였다. 또한 수리실험에서 도출된 호안 붕괴 시의 흐름을 구현하여 호안 붕괴 시 국부유속 및 전단응력을 계산하고 만곡부 호안의 안정성을 위한 설계인자를 분석하였다. 연구결과로 제시된 만곡부 안정성을 위한 설계인자는 국외 호안공 설계식과 비교하여 국부유속 및 전단응력의 설계인자의 적합성을 검토하고 국내 만곡부 호안의 안정성 설계기법개발에 도움이 될 수 있는 설계인자를 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, the failure case of the bridge deck slabs have been increasing in Korea and it was observed that the failure modes of most deck slabs collapsed were not caused by flexural moment but by local punching shear. The main reason of the failures was the punching shear failure of deck slabs under heavy truck traffics. This paper presents test results obtained from punching shear tests performed on prestressed precast deck specimens. Cracking patterns, failure modes, deflections, and stresses are included as well as discussion of the punching shear strength observed during punching shear tests. Static lest specimens had punching shear failures at loads much higher than predicted by the current codes. Tests results indicate that current code provisions appear to be conservative.

The failure behavior of RC structure was exceedingly affected by the size and the local strain distribution of the failure zone due to the strain localization behavior on the tension softening materials. However, it is very difficult to quantify and assess the local strain occurring in the failure zone by the conventional test method. In this study, image processing technology, which is available to measure the strain up to the complete failure of RC structures, was used to estimate the local strain distribution and the size of failure zone. In order to verify the reliability and validity for the image processing technology, the strain transition acquired by the image processing technology was compared with strain values measured by the concrete gauge on the uniaxial compressive specimens. Based on the verification of image processing technology for the uniaxial compressive specimens, the size and the local strain distribution of the failure zone of deep beam was measured using the image processing technology. With the results of test, the principal tensile/compressive strain contours were drawn. Using the strain contours, the size of the failure zone and the local strain distribution on the failure of the deep beam was evaluated. The results of strain contour showed that image processing technology is available to assess the failure behavior of deep beam and obtain the local strain values on the domain of the post-peak failure comparatively.

고강도 및 보통강도 콘크리트의 압축파괴 거동에 영향을 미치는 요소들 (재료의 강도, 시편의 세장비, 전단구속, 실험장치의 강성, 피드백 신호)에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 피드백 신호로 자동 조절되는 유압 실험기계항에서 원주변형 피드백 신호를 사용하여 연화곡선을 구했다. 재하장치로부터의 단부 전단 구속을 줄이면 제한된 영역 안에서 재하방향 균형이 형성되고, 또한 연화곡선의 경사가 급해지고 파괴에너지도 작아진다. 이때 길이가 큰 시편에서 파괴에너지가 커지는 것은 안장과는 달리 단순균열이 형성되는 것이 아니고 , 파괴가 용적을 가진다는 것을 의미한다. 압축응력하의 국부 파괴는 재료특성이 아니므로, 단부 전단구속이 없더라도 재료적 특성으로서의 응력-변형도 곡선은 정하기 어렵다.

A series of model tests were conducted to investigate how the number of reinforcement layers, stiffnesses, types of reinforcement material and buried depth of a flexible pipe can affect bearing capacity-settlement curve at a loose sand foundation. In the test results, whereas the type of failure in unreinforced sand was local shear, the type of failure, for model tests with more than 2 reinforcement layers in loose sand, was general shear: The number of the optimum reinforcement layers was found to be two: Stiffness and type of reinforcement were more important than the maximum tensile strength of reinforcement in improving bearing capacity. When the depth of buried pipe from the sand surface was less than the width of the footing, test results showed that both bearing capacity and ultimate bearing capacity of buried pipe in unreinforced sand significantly decreased, and the type of failure in the reinforced sand changed from general shear to local shear.

The evaluation of shear stiffness of shear connection in composite bridges with CIP concrete deck is analysed. Shear stiffness of shear connection in full-depth precast concrete deck bridges is obtained from experiments. 3-dimensional finite element analyses of push-out specimen are carried out to investigate the effects of characteristics of filling material strength in shear connection on shear stiffness and local stress distribution. The load-slip relations obtained from the analyses are compared with those of experiments. The equation of initial shear stiffness of shear connection in precast concrete deck bridge is proposed. Linear analyses are performed to evaluate the effects of the shank diameter of shear connector and the strength of mortar on the characteristics of deterioration and failure load obtained by the failure criterions of each material. The failure loads are estimated and compared with test results.

Corrugated steel webs resist only shear force because of the accordion effects. The shear force in the web can cause three different buckling mode: local, global, and interactive shear buckling modes. The shear behavior of the corrugated steel webs have been investigated by several researchers. However, shear buckling behavior of the corrugated webs are not clearly explained yet. And, it lead the conservative design. This paper presents shear strength of trapezoidally corrugated steel webs. A series of the tests were also conducted to verified proposed shear strength. Firstly, local, global, and interactive shear buckling equations provided by previous researchers were rearranged as a simple form considering the profiles of the existing bridges with corrugated steel webs. And, global and interactive shear buckling coefficient, and shear buckling parameter for corrugated webs were suggested in this study. Inelastic buckling strength can be determined from buckling curves based on the proposed shear buckling parameter. From the test results of this study and those of previous researchers, it can be found that suggested shear strength provides good estimation of those of trapezoidally corrugated steel webs.

This paper aims at developing the prediction technique of the deformation for the embankment such as sea dike and shore protection relevant to reclamation project along the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. Generally total deformation of a sea dike over clayey foundation are composed of immediate settlement, plastic deformation and consolidation settlement. Plastic deformation occurs when the ultimate bearing capacity is less than overburden pressure containing the stress increment due to the construction of an embankment. The reliable prediction of total settlement is very important since deformed final geometry of sea dike is directly connected for analysing the safety of the long-term slope failure and piping. During this study, plastic deformation, major part of deformation was analysed using the program developed by authors, whereas immediate settlement and consolidation settlement were predicted by Mochinaka and Sena's method and Terzaghi's 1-dimensional theory of consolidation respectively. In order to validate the prediction technique for the deformation, a case study of Koheung Bay reclamation works was carried out. A good agreement was obtained between observation and prediction, which means the applicability of the technique.

This study performs model test to propose the installation method of micro-pile appropriate to various soil conditions such as sand or silt soil. As a result, the crossed installation method (${\theta}$ < $0^{\circ}$) of micro-pile is effective in resisting a compression displacement of soil in the case of silt exhibiting the punching shear failure. And the inclined installation method (${\theta}$ > $0^{\circ}$ or ${\theta}$ < $0^{\circ}$) of micro-pile is effective in resisting a lateral displacement of soil in the case of sand to exhibiting the general or local shear failure.
