딜라토메터는 실험의 간편성, 경제성, 신속성 및 반복성 등을 바탕으로 현장에서의 지반공학적 물성추정에 보편화되고 있다. 또한 간단한 장비구성과 손쉬운 사용법에도 불구하고 다양한 지반공학적 물성들 -예로서, $K_{o}$ , OCR, $c_{u}$ , $\psi$, $c_{h}$, $k_{h}$, ${\gamma}$, M, $u_{o}$ -을 추정할 수 있으며 다양한 지반공학적 설계문제에 성공적으로 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 제안된 관계식들이 대부분 기존실험 결과들과의 비교를 통하여 얻어진 경험적 상관관계이며, 특히 압밀계수 추정에 관한 부분은 관입시 평면변형 상태의 지반변형으로 인한 관입모사의 복잡성으로 인하여 피에조콘 소산시험 해석을 위해 제안된 이론 해들에 경험적인 가정사항들을 추가하여 사용하는 반경험적 방법들과 순수한 경험적인 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 elf라토메터 관입기의 실제 평면적을 등가의 원형반경으로 고려한 등가반경을 사용하고 최적화기법을 적용함으로써, 소산시험에서 실제 관측된 간극수압($p_2$)과 딜라토메터 소산시험을 모사하여 얻어진 예측 간극수압의 차이를 최소화하는 수평압밀계수 추정법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법을 국내 양산지역에서 수행된 딜라토메터 소산실험에 적용하였으며 추정된 수평압밀계수 값을 기존의 딜라토메터 수평압밀계수 추정법들과 불교란 시료를 이용한 일차원 실내 압밀실험으로 얻어진 수평압밀계수 값들과 비교검증 하였다. 그 결과 제안된 방법으로 기존의 방법에 비해 실내 압밀실험 결과와 일치하는 수평압밀계수 추정결과를 얻었다. 또한, 제안된 방법으로 얻어진 수평압밀계수는 전 소산도 범위에서 고르게 관측값과 일치하는 소산곡선을 예측하여, 최적화기법을 이용한 딜라토메터 소산시험 해석으로 전 소산과정을 대표하는 압밀계수의 추정이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

이암 및 셰일은 점토를 함유하고 있어 풍화작용을 받을 경우 공학적 성질이 급격히 변화하여 강도 저하, 내구성저하현상 및 토사와 유사한 거동을 보이는 등 토목공사에 위험한 요소가 되고 있다. 풍화된 시료엔 대한 실험용 시료 가공이 어렵고 적용 가능한 실험법이 적어 공학적 특성이나 거동을 정량적으로 파악하는 기법이 다른 암종에 비해 극히 제한된다. 현재까지 강도측정과 같은 일반적인 물성의 단순측정보다는 내구성을 분석하는 슬레이킹 내구성 시험 (Slake durability test), Modified Jar test, 팽창율 측정시험 (Swelling test) 등의 정량화 시험법이 주로 사용되고 있으며 국내 현장에서도 적용을 권장할 수 있다. 이러한 실험치의 해석에서 단일 실험치 (예: 팽창율)만으로 지질공학적 특성을 파악하는 경우 잘못된 판단을 할 수도 있으므로, X선 회절분석시험 (XRD: X-Ray Diffraction Test), TG-DTA분석, 주사전자현미경 (SEM: Scanning Electron Microscope) 이미지 분석, 투수계수 측정실험 등도 함께 수행하여 실험결과를 종합적으로 해석하는 것이 바람직하다.

Large amounts of natural gas, mainly methane, in the form of hydrates are stored on continental margins. When gas hydrates are dissociated by any environmental trigger, generation of excess pore pressure due to released free gas may cause sediment deformation and weakening. Hence, damage on offshore structures or submarine landslide can occur by gas hydrate dissociation. Therefore, geotechnical stability of gas hydrate bearing sediments is in need to be securely assessed. However, geotechnical characteristics of gas hydrates bearing sediments including small-strain elastic moduli have been poorly identified. Synthesizing gas hydrate in natural seabed sediment specimen, which is mainly composed of silty-to-clayey soils, has been hardly attempted due to their low permeability. Moreover, it has been known that hydrate loci in pore spaces and heterogeneity of hydrate growth in specimen scale play a critical role in determining physical properties of hydrate bearing sediments. In the presented study, we synthesized gas hydrate containing sediments in an instrumented oedometric cell. Geotechnical and geophysical properties of gas hydrate bearing sediments including compressibility, small-strain elastic moduli, elastic wave, and electrical resistivity are determined by wave-based techniques during loading and unloading processes. Significant changes in volume change, elastic wave, and electrical resistivity have been observed during formation and dissociation of gas hydrate. Experimental results and analyses reveal that geotechnical properties of gas hydrates bearing sediments are highly governed by hydrate saturation, effective stress, void ratio, and soil types as well as morphological feature of hydrate formation in sediments.

고준위방사성폐기물 처분의 경우 심부 암반에 만들어진 처분장에 영구 처분하는 것이 최선의 방안으로 여겨지고 있다. 하지만 지하 심부의 암반에 대한 물리적, 화학적, 역학적, 열적, 수리적 물성과 이들과 핵종 이동의 관계, 처분환경에서의 공학적 방벽 및 암반의 거동이 처분장 안정성 및 안전성에 미치는 영향 등을 파악해야하는 어려움이 따른다. 특히 고준위폐기물 처분의 경우 장기간의 안전성을 고려해야하기 때문에 자연방벽과 공학적 방벽의 시간에 따른 거동변화도 고려하여야 할 필요가 있다. (중략)

The EPS has the unit weight of only 20~30kg/m3 and is used as one of the methods of reducing road embankment loads. Parts of it's applications are for backfill materials of structures like abutment, retaining wall, etc., to reduce horizontal earth pressure and for banking materials to secure the safety of settlement and bearing capacity by minimizing the stress Increment. However, the Korean Standards (KS) has not yet proposed any testing method for use of EPS as a engineering banking material. Only its testing and quality ordinance as a heat insulation material has been standardized. Therefore, in Korea, EPS is used as banking material without any systematic testing data as a civil engineering material. In this point of view, this paper deals with the engineering characteristics of EPS through many laboratory tests on strength, strain, absorption, and creep. from the results achived through tests, this paper proposes the enactment of a suitable quality testing ordinance and the criteria of unconfined design strength of EPS for use as engineering material.

The design values of rock socketed pile related with properties of rock mass are not clearly established. However, the drilled shafts socketed in rock are widely used as the foundation of large scaled structure. In this study, the characteristics of behavior of rock socketed pile is researched, and the properties of interface between pile and rock considering soil-structure interaction are evaluated for numerical modeling of rock socketed pile based on the previous researches. Based on the properties of interface and rock mass, the behaviors of rock socketed piles are numerically modeled and compared with field measurement. To verify the numerical analysis, a micro pile socketed in rock is modeled and the results of numerical analysis are compared with field measurement. The numerical results show a good agreement with field measured data, especially in terms of load transfer characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to propose a chart that can easily estimate the seismic failure probability of small and medium sized earthfill dams with little geotechnical information. By considering the existing method and procedure for estimating the seismic failure probability of a dam, the zero seismic failure probability curve, on which the seismic probability is zero regardless of the geotechnical properties of the dam, was determined in the form of hyperbola in the dam height and freeboard ratio plane. It was confirmed that the dam height-freeboard ratio distribution pattern of the Korean small and medium sized dams was shaped like a hyperbola like the zero seismic failure probability curve. Therefore, a estimation chart was constructed in which a number of seismic failure probability contours are represented by a number of hyperbolas at regular intervals in the dam height-freeboard ratio plane. The proposed chart was applied to the calculation of the seismic failure probability of two small and midium sized dams with relatively well-managed geotechnical properties and the validity of the chart was confirmed by comparison with the results obtained by the existing procedures and methods. In the future, the proposed chart is expected to be useful in considering investment priorities for maintenance and reinforcement of small and medium sized dams in preparation for earthquakes.

Various elastic wave-based site investigation methods have been used to characterize subsurface ground because the dynamic properties can be correlated with various geotechnical parameters. Although the inherent spatial variability of the geotechnical parameters affects the P-wave propagation characteristics, ground heterogeneity has not been considered as an influential factor. Thus, the effect of heterogeneous ground on the travel-time shift and wavefront characteristics of elastic waves through stochastic numerical analyses is investigated in this study. The effects of the relative correlation lengths and relative propagation distances on the travel-time shift of P-waves considering various intensities of ground heterogeneity were investigated. Heterogeneous ground fields of stiffness (e.g., the coefficient of variation = 10 ~ 40%) were repeatedly realized in numerical finite difference grids using the turning band method. Monte Carlo simulations were undertaken to simulate P-wave propagation in heterogeneous ground using a finite difference method-based numerical approach. The results show that the disturbance of the wavefront becomes more significant with stronger heterogeneity and induces travel-time delays. The relative correlation lengths and propagation distances are systematically related to the travel-time shift.
