자가굴착식 프레셔미터 시험(Self-Boring Pressuremeter Test, SBPT)은 지반의 교란을 최소화할 수 있기 때문에 점성토의 비배수 전당강도($S_{u}$ )를 비교적 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 방법 중의 하나로 알려져 있으며, 많은 연구자들에 의하여 SBPT 결과로부터 $S_{u}$ 를 산정하는 여러 가지 방법들이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내 5개지역에서 총 33회의 SBPT를 수행한후, 기존에 제안된 여러 가지 방법들을 이용하여 $S_{u}$ 를 산정하고, 그 중 변형률 경화 거동을 보이는 지반에서의 $S_{u}$ 를 동일 현장에서 수행한 현장베인시험 결과와 비교. 분석하여 각 방법들의 적용성과 신뢰성을 분석하였다. 그리고, $S_{u}$ 산정 결과에 대한 프레셔미터 멤브레인의 유일한 길이의 영향을 수치해석으로 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 이용하여 기존의 접선영 방법(Subtangent method)을 보정하는 식을 제안하였다. 새로이 보정된 방법으로 산정한 $S_{u}$ 를 현장베인시험 결과와 비교하여 개선 효과를 확인하였다.

Laboratory tests have revealed that the liquefaction resistance of sands depends strongly upon the degree of saturation, which is expressed in terms of the pore pressure coefficient, B. The velocity of compression waves(i.e. P-waves), which have been known to be influenced largely by the degree of saturation and can be measured conveniently in the field, appears as an indicator of saturation. In this paper, the Stokoe type torsional shear(TS) testing equipment is modified to saturate the specimen and measure the velocities of P-wave and S-wave and pore pressure buildup. The velocities of P-wave and S-wave for Toyoura sand from Japan is measured and compared at the various B-value (degree of saturation) which are partially saturated to fully saturated conditions. Additionally, the variation of the pore water pressure induced during undrained TS tests at the various B-value is measured and analyzed.

The cone pressuremeter test (CPM) is a new in-situ test which combines a standard cone penetration test with a pressuremeter. The cone pressuremeter tests in clay are presented and analyzed. An analytical solution of CPM incorporated non-linear soil behavior with no volume change is presented, and curve fitting technique is proposed to make use of both the loading and unloading portions of the pressuremeter test. The proposed method is accomplished by putting greater emphasis on the unloading portion. Twenty CPM tests are analyzed using the proposed method, and the derived undrained shear strength of soil is compared with other tests such as field vane tests and laboratory tests. The interpreted soil parameters had resonable values when compared to other in-situ and laboratory test results. The cone pressuremeter has provided reliable measures of undrained shear strength using curve fitting method.

This paper presents the interrelationship between undrained static and cyclic shear behavior. Laboratory works were performed through the undralned static and cyclic triaxial test using Nak-Dong River sand. And static triaxial test involved the triaxial extension test for comparison with cyclic shear behavior Cyclic triaxial test was performed with a variety of combination conditions of initial static shear stress $(q_{st})$ and cyclic stress $(q_{cy})$. In this result, the stress path of cyclic shear behavior was correspondent with static shear behavior passing the critical stress ratio (CSR) line because of the development of flow deformation. After that, a failure occurred according to failure line (FL) of static shear behavior. The stress path of cyclic shear behavior showed essentially the same with static shear behavior, although it appears a little different in test method.

The feasibility of using neural networks to model the complex relationship between piezocone measurements and the undrained shear strength of clays has been investigated. A three layered back propagation neural network model was developed based on actual undrained shear strengths, which were obtained from the isotrpoically and anisotrpoically consolidated triaxial compression test(CIUC and CAUC), and piezocone measurements compiled from various locations around the world. It was validated by comparing model predictions with measured values about new piezocone data, which were not previously employed during development of model. Performance of the neural network model was compared with conventional empirical method, direct correlation method, and theoretical method. It was found that the neural network model is not only capable of inferring a complex relationship between piezocone measurements and the undrained shear strength of clays but also gives a more precise and reliable undrained shear strength than theoretical and empirical approaches. Furthermore, neural network model has a possibility to be a generalized relationship between piezocone measurements and undrained shear strength over the various places and countries, while the present empirical correlations present the site specific relationship.

Numerical liquefaction model and response history analysis procedure are verified based on dynamic centrifuge test results. The test was a part of the Liquefaction Experiments Analysis Project (LEAP). The model ground was formed inside of rigid box by using the submerged Ottawa F65 sand with a relative density of 55% and 5° of surface inclination. A tapered sinusoidal wave with a frequency of 1 Hz was applied to the base of the model box. Numerical analyses were performed by two dimensional finite difference method in prototype scale. The soil is modeled to show hysteretic behavior before shear failure, and Mohr-Coulomb model is applied for shear failure criterion. Byrne's liquefaction model was applied to track the changes in pore pressure due to cyclic loading after static equilibrium. In order to find an appropriate flow condition for the liquefaction analysis, numerical analyses were performed both in drained and undrained condition. The numerical analyses performed under the undrained condition showed good agreement with the centrifuge test results.

Hansbo는 인공 배수재에 대한 압밀 이론에서 스미어죤의 교란부분에 대한 불교란부분의 투수곗의 비(kh/ks)가 일정하다고 가정하였다. 그러나 실험결과에 의하면 투수계수비는 배수재로부터의 거리 및 압밀 진행에 따라서 변한다. 본 논문에서는 정규압밀조건에서 압밀진행동안의 스미어죤내 투수계수변화에 대한 경험공식을 유도하고 이를 고려할 수 있는 압밀해석방법을 제안하였다. 실제 압밀시험과 투수시험자료를 이용하여 제안한 해석방법으로 해석된 결과와 Hansbo의 이론을 비교하였다. 배수재 주위의 흙과 교란이 크거나 필터가 막혀서 투수계수가 원래의 값보다 현저히 저하되는 경우에는 실제의 압밀은 Hansbo의 이론으로 계산한 것보다 훨씬 지연된다는 사실을 알게 되었다.

The drained and undrained behavior of pure silt was investigated experimentally. Special attention was given to the stress-strain behavior of silt prior to failure and behavior at failure under monotonic and cyclic loading. A pure silica flour was chosen to form samples with two different densities of D,=80%, eo=0.68 and D,=35%, eo=0.9. The isotropically consolidated samples were tested in the triaxial testing device under monotonic undrained, drained compression and extension conditions. Also samples were tested under cyclic undrained condition. Based on the experimental results. it was qualitively identified that the overall behavior of silt is similar to that of sand. When compared with clay, silt shows a significantly different behavior due to its dilatant nature under both the monotonic and cyclic shear loadings.

An elasto-plastic constitutive model for geological materials, which satisfies the flezibility and stability at the same time, can be used in a number of geotechnical problems. Using the spacing ratio of critical state, a flexible model is proposed based on the stability of modified Camflay model. The spacing ratio of critical state can be simply evaluated, and practically used in describing the undrained shearing behavior of clay. The proposed model has precisely predicted the stress paths and stress -strain relationships, compared with the modified Camflay model, with respect to undrained triaxial test results. Besides, the effects of strain rate, creep, and relaxation can also be considered. Using the quasi-state boundary surface, the constitutive relations are well predicted. Therefore, it is found that the assumption of associative flow rule is well posed for undrained behavior of normally consolidated clay.

본 연구에서는 수정 Cam Clay 모델과 혼합체 커플링 이론(coupled theory of mixtures)을 이용하여 피에조콘 관입시험을 해석하여 지반의 투수계수와 과잉간극수압의 정량적 관계를 고찰하였다. 본 연구의 이론적 해석 결과는 시험결과들과 비교하였으며 그 결과 피에조콘 관립 시험시 관측된 과잉간극수압은 지반의 투수계수가 $10^{-9}$m/sec에서 $10^{-6}$m/sec의 범위에서는 투수계수에 따라 피에조콘 관립 시험시 관측된 과잉간극수압이 현저하게 변하는 것으로 나타나 피에조콘 관입시험시 관측한 과잉간극수압을 이용하여 지반의 투수계수를 결정할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 지반의 투수계수가 $10^{-9}$m/sec 이하에서는 지반이 거의 완전 비배수 상태에 가까운 거동을 나타내면, 투수계수가 $10^{-6}$m/sec 이상에서는 거의 완전 배수상태에 가까운 거동을 하는 것으로 나타났다.으로 나타났다.
