본 연구는 모래사면의 언덕근처에 설치된 짧은 말뚝의 수평하중의 영향에 관한 것이다. 3차원 탄소성 유한요소법해석과 실내 모형실험의 결과를 비교하였다. 경사 30$^{\circ}$의 사면에 시공된 짧은 말뚝의 특성을 파악하기 위해, 사면언덕에서 모형말뚝까지의 거리를 3종류로 상이하게 하여, 모형실험을 실시하였다. 사용된 모래의 지반특성은 배수조건하의 삼축압축실험으로 결정하였다. 동시에 3차원 탄소성 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석결과와 모형실험결과를 비교하였다. 본 유한요소법의 해석에 있어서 모래지반을 탄성완전소성모델(Elastic-perfectly plastic model)로 가정하여, 파괴기준으로 Mohr-Coulomb 식과 소성 포텐셜에 대해서는 Drucker-Prager 식을 적용한 MC-DP 모델로 하였다. 이러한 MC-DP 모델의 구성식은 유한요소법에서 있어 계산치의 수렴에 유익하다. 3차원 탄소성 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석이 사질토 사면의 언덕 부근에 설치된 단하의 수평거동에 대한 파악에 유효하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Samples of Hangdeung granite and Berea sandstone containing sliding planes were prepared by saw-cutting and polishing using #100 or #600 grinding powders. Their basic friction angles were then measured directly in direct shear tests and triaxial compression tests, and also in tilt tests, which measure the angles indirectly. Although the angles measured by the direct methods were generally accurate, those measured along certain planes were greatly different from the others depending on the condition of the plane. The tilt tests yielded similar angles regardless of the sliding plane condition or the rock type; however, the error range was relatively wide. Sliding planes polished by the grinding powders yielded more accurate results than those cut by the saw and tested without polishing, as polishing ensured consistent conditions among all the planes. Sliding planes polished using #100 grinding powder yielded better results than polishing with #600 grinding powder. Therefore, the basic friction angles measured along the sliding planes polished using #100 grinding powder, as obtained in direct shear and triaxial compression tests, were the most reliable. The angle could also be measured satisfactorily by tilt testing along sliding planes polished with #100 grinding powder.

The main objective of this study is to develop an analytical model for the resilient modulus of EPS geofoam when it is applied for flexible pavement as a subgrade material. This analytical model has been developed based on the results from triaxial compression tests. And this model can be used to analyze the flexible pavement structure using the finite element method by developing a program or modifying an existing program for any desired purposes. The results of this study show that the EPS geofoam as a replacement material for subgrade in flexible pavement is a feasible alternative to natural weak soils.

The use of high-strength concrete which permits smaller cross sections, reduced dead loads, and longer spans has been getting more popular in tall buildings. However, there has been little research on behavior of high-strength concrete columns laterally reinforced with square ties and subjected to compressive loading. With the addition of transverse reinforcement which lead to triaxial compressive state, ductility behavior of high-strength column member shall be increased. In this study, rational quality and quantity evaluations were made to investigate the ultimate strength and strain ductility by confinement effect of tie reinforced high-strength concrete columns subject to uniaxial loads. Concrete failure theory at the triaxial compressive state and statistical results based on conventional experimental data were applied for this propose. Up to 185 columns, tested under monotonically increasing concentric loading, were evaluated in terms of strength and strain ductility. Analytical results show that confinement stress, maximum compressive strength, and increase of strain equations were developed with the consideration of concrete strength, yield strength, spacing, volumetric ratio, and configurations of tie reinforcement.

In order to predict the stability of slopes, it is important to evaluate shear strength of unsaturated soils. The triaxial tests were performed under $K_0$ conditions for unsaturated soils and the results were compared with those for saturated soils. In unsaturated soils, the secant modul and the shear strengths are larger than those of saturated soils because of matric suctions. However the shear strengths were not affected severely by stress conditions at consolidation.

We conducted laboratory simulations of deep vertical drilling into the earth's crust to induce borehole breakouts and investigated their potential use for estimating in situ stress magnitudes in Westerly granite and Berea sandstone. Our experiments consisted of two major stages, a series of triaxial tests and borehole-breakout formation tests under a wide range of far-field stresses. We derived the Mohr-Coulomb, Nadai and Mogi failure criteria from the triaxial test results. Each criterion was compared with the stress condition at breakout boundaries. We concluded that the well known Mohr-Coulomb criterion is not compatible with the stress condition at breakout failure. On the other hand, polyaxial (truly triaxial) failure criteria such as the Nadai criterion for Berea sandstone and the Mogi criterion for Westerly granite were much more suitable for predicting breakout failure zone. Such failure criteria appeared to enable the reliable estimation of the magnitude of one of two horizontal principal stresses if the other one is known.

The shear strength of weathered granite soils under unsaturated condition was evaluated by $K_0$ consolidated triaxial tests. Various matric suctions in the unsaturated triaxial tests were applied using suction-controlled triaxial test apparatus for weathered granite soils obtained in Daegu. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) laboratory tests for drying and wetting procedure were performed and van Genuchten curves were fitted by experimental results. The contribution of matric suction in unsaturated soils is directly correlated to effective stress and evaluated from SWCCs. The effective stresses were estimated from these SWCCs and the relationship between effective stress and unsaturated shear strength was determined. In the effective stress description, the unsaturated shear strength with respect to various suctions indicates unique relationship and almost the same as that of the saturated envelope.

The stress-strain relationship of soil is dependent on a number of factors such as soil type, density, stress level and stress path. Th accurate stress-stain relationship can be predict using a constitutive model incorporated all influencing factors. In this study, an isotropic compression-expansion test and a series of drained conventional triaxial tests with several stress paths were performed on Baekma river sand to investigate parameters characteristics of Lade's single work hardening model depending on the stress path.. Based on test results, the parameters of yield function (h, ${\alpha}$) are not much influenced by stress level and stress path, the these parameters do affect a little bit of stress-strain behavior. The parameters h and ${\alpha}$ are closely related to failure criterion ${\eta}_1$, they can be replaced by failure criterion parament. We also observed that predicted values from the Lade's single hardening constitutive model are well matched with the observed data.

In this study, effects of the density of soil and the confining pressure applied to the soil sample on the elastic moduli of subgrade soils are experimentally analyzed. Through investigation of subgrade materials of domestic expressways, five typical types of subgrade soils are selected for the experiments. A series of unconsolidated undrained triaxial tests is performed on samples prepared with various water contents and densities at the confining pressures of 1.02, 2.04, and $3.06kg/cm^2$. Initial tangent modulus is inferred from the unloading-reloading portion of the stress strain curve obtained during an individual loading-unloading-reloading test. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the effect of the confining pressure on the elastic modulus of subgrade material is well consistent with the equation proposed by Janbu, and that the elastic modulus can be related to the dry unit weight expressing the Janbu constants as exponentiial functions of it. It is also found that the water content has little effect on the elastic modulus for the samples with the degree of saturation less than 70%.
