The liquefaction potential of saturated sands under seismic loading conditions has been carefully considered by many investigations. Typical of these investigations is the laboratory determination of cyclic strength of sands by means of cyclic triaxial tests. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the method of sample preparation on the liquefaction characteristics of remolded samples of saturated uniform sands. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed on saturated uniform sand compacted to the same density by 3 different procedures of pluvial compaction through air, pluvial compaction through water and vibratory compaction. It was validated that the cyclic stress ratio of remolded saturated uniform sands by different compaction procedures at the same density was very different.

Continuous Compaction Control is a new cutting edge technique in United States, Japan and European construction market that uses an instrumented compactor to measure soil stiffness in real time usually with vehicle tracking system such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). In this study, soil stiffness was evaluated by adapting Fourier transforming technique with acceleration data obtained from accelerometers used as a continuous compaction control instrument. The soil stiffness obtained by accelerometers gave analogous results with reference results such as dry density, elastic modulus obtained from Geogauge and Light falling deflectometer.

이 연구는 제방의 침투 수리모형 실험의 자료를 이용해 안전도 평가 지표 선정을 위한 자료 제공하고 향후 수행할 침투 수치모의에 필요한 보정 및 검증 자료를 확보할 목적으로 수행하였다. 제방 축조 현장에서 구한 제체재료를 사용하여 실험실에 제방축소모형을 $14.5m{\times}0.6m{\times}1.6 m$의 수조 내부에 제작하였다. 제방 사면의 경사는 1:2, 제방 저면의 길이는 4.60 m, 제방 상부의 길이는 2.40 m, 제체의 높이는 0.55 m로 제작하였다. 모형제방은 제방축조 방법과 유사하게 다짐을 하기위해 흙을 쌓으면서 0.20 m 높이 마다 다짐을 실시하였다. 다짐방법은 고무망치를 이용한 층다짐을 하였다. 들밀도실험에 의한 제방모형의 건조단위중량과 다짐도는 각각 1.71g/cm3, 93%로 측정되었다. 홍수위 증가에 따른 비정상 상태의 침투수위 측정을 수행하였다. 수리모형실험은 약 8일 동안 수행하였다. 침윤선의 수두와 위압계별 수두는 상류쪽(제외지 사면)부터 증가하기 시작하며 하류쪽(제내지 사면)로 확장됨을 알 수 있으며, 실험 초기에는 상류쪽의 수두가 급격히 상승하지만, 점차 상승속도가 둔화되는 등의 일반적인 경향이 나타나고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 실험시작 18시간 경과 후부터 제외지 사면 하단부에서 유출이 발생하였으며, 21시간 경과 후부터는 상류부의 수두가 안정되는 현상이 나타났다. 측정된 침투수위의 변화 양상은 향후 수치모형을 이용한 침투해석의 검보정 자료로 활용할 계획이다.

The plate loading test(PLT) and the field density test are mainly used on the construction of embankments to control the compaction of a limited layer thickness. These two test methods are very time consuming and inefficient, but they are still commonly used as the methods of quality control for soil compaction. In the last 3 decades, many devices such as geogauge, light falling weight deflectometer(LFWD) and dynamic cone penetrometer(DCP) etc., have been introduced into the engineering market with the objective of acquiring in situ stiffness properties of the compacted soil layers. Recently, a new type of sensor, called compactometer, which in mounted on the drum of a roller and measures impact forces continuously with GPS, called as Continuous Compaction Control(CCC), has come into use in many countries such as America, Germany, Japan and so on. The main objective of this paper is to assess the potential use of these new devices as quality control and assurance devices for compacted soil layers. Based on this study, compactometer and the LFWD results werestrongly correlated with the result obtained from the PLT and the field density test.

The compaction equipment and the Marshall stability head are the two important testing equipment for the Marshall test. The compaction equipment is closely related to the air void, VMA and compactability of the mixtures, and the stability head is related to the Marshall stability and the flow, therefore the size and the shape of the equipment is essential for finding the accurate optimum asphalt content for the asphalt mix design. However, the size and the shape of the equipment currently used and the condition of the installation of compaction pedestal in this country are different from each agency and manufacturer. The national inspection of the Marshall equipment is necessary because the difference can affect the test results and also the performance of the asphalt pavement.

This paper presents the modeling of geosynthetic-reinforced compacted soils and discusses the reinforcement effect arising from confining the dilatancy deformation of the soil by geosynthetics. A series of compressive shear tests for compacted sandy soil specimens wrapped by geosynthetics are carried out by quantitatively examining the geosynthetic-reinforcement effect, occurring from a confinement of the dilative deformation in compacted soils during shearing. In the test, the initial degree of compaction is changed for each series of sandy soil specimens so that each series has different degree of dilatancy characteristics. Herein, the axial forces working on the geosynthetics so as to prevent dilative deformation of compacted soils during shearing are measured. Furthermore, the elasto-plastic modeling of compacted soils and a rational determination procedure for input parameters needed in the elasto-plastic modeling are presented. And to describe the irreversible deformation characteristics of compacted soils during shearing, the subloading yielding surface (Hashiguchi (1989)) to the elasto-plastic modeling is introduced. Finally, the elasto-plastic finite element simulation is carried out and the geosynthetic-reinforcement effect is discussed.

To investigate the seepage effect on the compacted backfill of retaining walls, an expriment and an analytical study were carried out First, the expriment was performed with a two-way permeameter newly designed for the do- termination on the degree of permeability anisotropy of compacted soils. As a result, e-log(kz/ky) plot showed a linear relationship, where kz and ky were permeability coefficients for the normal and the parallel directions to the compaction. The degree of permeability anisotropy, kz/ky was 2 to 4 at Dr>90% for sands, regardless of the methods of compaction. The kz/ky of the fine sand was greater than that of the coarse sand. Second, the exprimental results were applied to the extention of Gray's theory for the investigation of the active thrust affected by the seepage of permeability anisotropy. The active thrust was decreased with the increase in the degree of permeability anisotropy, and it It.as a little effect on wall friction.

In order to investigate the strength anisotropy of compacted materials, a series of unsaturated and saturated-drained triaxial compression tests was performed. Three different orientation angles of the axial direction of samples with respect to the horizontal plane were investigated: ${\delta}=0$, 45 and 90 degrees. As the results showed, the suction rate on the strength of the unsaturated specimen was not influenced by ${\delta}$. And the effect of the angle ${\delta}$ on the strength was more pronounced on unsaturated specimen as compared to saturated specimen. Moreover, a new procedure was proposed to take into account the effect of the angle ${\delta}$ on the shear strength of unsaturated soils.

경험적으로 방법에 의존해온 대형 진동햄머다짐의 영향심도를 평가하고자 수치해석적인 기법을 사용하였다. 수치해석적인 기법을 사용하였다. 수치해석에 사용한 프로그램은 범용 유한요소 해석프로그램인 ABAQUS이며, 인천 신공항 매립지에서 시험 시공한 대형 진동햄머다짐의 자료와 수치해석한 결과의 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 수치해성에 사용한 물성은 현장시험과 실내시험을통해 구하였으며 영향깊이는 지반이 동적 하중에 변형할 때 소산하는 소성변형율에너지량의 분포를 판정하였다. 수치해석결과 소성변형율에너지 소산량의 시간에 따른 변화로부터 다짐의 영향깊이 및 수평영향거리를 추정할 수 있었다. 소성변형율에너지 수렴시의 외부에너지를 Menard의 경험식에 적용할 경우 영향깊이를 판정할 수 있음을 알았다. 따라서 Menardtlr으로부터 영향깊이를 다짐하는데 필요한 최소한의 에너지를 구할수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
