The behavior of pure silt was investigated by using an automated triaxial testing device. The stress-strain behavior of silt due to the volume deformation tendency was compared with the behavior of clay prior to failure and behavior at failure under monotonic undrained compression and extension conditions. A pure silica flour was chosen to form samples. The isotropically normally-consolidated samples with 450 kPa of effective mean confining pressure and overconsolidated samples through unloading were tested. Based on the experimental results, it was qualitatively identified that the undrained strength of normally-consolidated silt increases due to its dilatant nature which is not seen in clay. Also the overconsolidated silt shows a significantly different behavior under the monotonic loadings due to the volume deformation tendency.

본 논문은 체적이 변하는 흙에 대하여 새로운 흙-수분 특성곡선 이론을 제시하고 이를 실험적으로 규명하였다. 그 결과, 점토와 같이 불포화되는 과정중 체적변형이 발생하는 흙의 흙-수분 특성곡선은 간극비와 흡인력의 함수이므로 체적변화를 무시할 수 없음이 밝혀졌다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 체적변화가 있는 경우 흙-수분특성곡선을 구하기 위하여 두가지 실험법을 채택하였다. 그 첫째는 전통적인 압력판 추출시험과, 중량함수비와 간극비와의 관계를 알 수 있는 수축한계시험을 실시하여 조합하는 방법이며, 둘째 방법은 압력판 셀을 새로인 고안하여 추출시험시에 체적 수축도 측정할 수 있는 수정된 압력판 셀 시험방법을 이용하는 것이다. 이 시험결과를 3차원 상의 면(surface)에서 표현하여, 체적변형을 고려한 흙-수분 특성을 규명할수 있도록 하였다.

The settlements by liquefaction seldom occur uniformly because of soil homogeneity, however differential settlements are major cause of the damages to structures. From the past researches, author paid attention to the fact that stress history during undrained cyclic shear process affects greatly on the volumetric strains of the post-liquefaction. Therefore, the effect of the residual shear strain in cyclic shear process was examined in this study. The experiment apparatus based on strain control with volumetric strain control device was used for the study to investigate the effect of the residual strain on the relationship between volumetric strain and effective stress of clean and granite sandy soil. It could be seen an insignificant difference in the volumetric strain after liquefaction under various residual shear strain conditions in the case of clean sand. On the other hand, in granite sandy soil, the volumetric strain after liquefaction was small when the lower level of the residual shear strain was applied. And, the residual shear strain during cyclic shear affected the shape of the relation curve between effective stress and volumetric strain as well.

본 논문에서는 외부의 힘에 의한 cavity 변형 객체의 안정적 형태 변형을 표현하기 위하여 형태유지 스프링을 이용한 변형 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 위나 풍선과 같은 cavity 변형객체는 전체 구성 노드의 수를 줄이기 위하여 표면 메쉬 구조로 모델링된다. 이 경우. 표면의 인접 노드만이 감쇠(damping) 스프링으로 연결되고, 모델의 체적정보의 부재로 인하여, 외부 힘이 일정시간 동안 지속적으로 주어지는 경우, 객체의 형태변형이 왜곡되고. 외부 힘이 제거된 후에도 초기 형태로의 복원이 불가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 전형적인 표면 메쉬 기반 변형 모델링 기법을 개선하기 위하여 형태 유지 스프링을 이용하여 체적 정보를 추가함으로써, 변형의 불안정성을 제거하고, 안정적인 초기형태로의 복원이 이루어지도록 하였다.

The comprehensive tests on unsaturated weathered granite soils are carried out to obtain the soil-water characteristic curve that is the one of the essential requisites to study the unsaturated soil. The weathered granite soils were obtained at Palgong mountain in Daegu. The existing test results have been carried out without overburden pressures and volume changes. In this study, the volumetric pressure plate extractor is improved to consider two factors such as overburden pressure and volume change. The applied overburden pressures were 0, 25, 50, 75, 100kPa and volume changes were measured at each phase. he results of this study are summarized as follows: As the overburden pressure increases, the volumetric water content decreases at the same matric suction and the air entry value increases and gradient of curve at the transition zone and the size of the hysteresis loops decreases. As the overburden pressure increases, the degree of saturation increases at the same matric suction and degree of saturation of the wetting curve is higher than that of dry curve. The SWCC with volume changes are slightly larger than those without volume changes. The general equation proposed by Fredlund & Xing(1994) to fit the experimental result of the SWCC indicates good agreement. The empirical parameters a, n, m as overburden pressure show similar inclination as the existing results.

A series of torsion shear tests were performed to study the drained stress -strain behavior of medium dense Santa Monica Beach sand under various stress paths. The torque was applied to both clockwise and counterclockwise directions at the end of hollow cylinder specimen. Two clip gages had been previously used to measure the changes in wall thickness and diameter of the specimen. In this study, however, the lateral strain was determined by measuring volume changes in specimen. Specimens were prepared by the air pluviation method and gaseous carbon deozide( CO2) was used to measure precisely volumetric strain in specimen. The drained stress -strain behavior of cohesionless Boils during rotation of principal stress directions was analysed based on the results of torsion shear tests. The coupling of mal stress were applied. It was also found from the test results that the atrial strain at failure decreased with increasing value.

본 연구에서는 유효응력 개념에 기초를 둔 응력-변형을 관계식을 이용하여 비배수 지하굴착 거등을 모댈하기 위한 수치해석적 방법이 개발된다. 비배수 조건 시 적용되는 체적불변형 조건은 조건방정식(Penalty formulation)의 혁태로 공극수압 변수를 이용하여 주어지며 결과되는 유한요소 방정식에 상닻히 른 물외 체적변형 개수를 부여함으로서 이루어진다. 이러한 형태와 조건식은 지하굴착 과정에서 발생되는 비배수 공극수압의 계산을 가능케 한다. 체적불변형 조건 부여 시 발생되는 mesh locking은 그 결과에 상당한 영향을 미치므로 이러한 mesh locking 문제는 T-방법에 근거를 둔 salective 적분방법월 적용함으로서 해결될 수 있다. 또한 흙의 거등을 모델하기 위하여 사용 된 Cam-Clay모텔과 Drucker-prager모텔에 새로운 implicit 웅력적분 방법을 적용함으로서 효율적인 방법으로 비선형거동을 해석할 수 있다. 개발된 지하 굴착 해석방법의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 실재 현장에서 측정된 지하굴착 거동을 예제로 이용하였다.

본 연구에서는 나노복합재의 탄소성 거동과 항복응력을 예측하기 위해 분자동역학 전산모사를 수행하였다. 나일론 기지와 실리카 나노입자가 포함된 단위 셀 구조로부터 나노입자의 체적분율 변화에 따른 응력-변형률 선도를 등변형률을 적용한 등온등압 앙상블 전산모사로부터 도출하였다. 4%의 변형률 범위에서 나노복합재의 탄성계수를 도출하였고, 이를 이용하여 2% 오프셋 방법으로 항복응력을 예측하였다. 나노입자의 유무에 따른 항복평면의 변화와 고분자 재료에서 나타나는 정수압 효과가 항복평면에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 일축 인장/압축 그리고 이축 인장/압축을 수행하였고, 각각의 경우에 나타나는 나노복합재 내부의 자유체적 변화에 대한 분석을 통해 나노입자의 강화효과를 고찰하였다. 또한 고분자 기지로 인해 발생하는 정수압 효과를 반영한 von-Miss 항복평면을 도출하고, 입자의 체적분율 변화에 따른 항복응력의 예측이 가능하도록 정수압효과에 대한 파라메터를 체적분율의 함수로 근사하였다.

In order to evaluate the effect of matric suction on the strength and deformation characteristics, the unsaturated unconfined compression test is performed for the statical1y compacted silty sand. Specimens used were made under conditions with various initial degrees of saturation. The initial matric suction, matric suction at the peak shear strength and the volumetric deformation during the shear process were measured. From these results, it was found that the initial degree of saturation exerts the influence on the behaviors of suction, peak shear strength and the volumetric deformation. Furthermore, the suction stress($P_s$) which means the apparent cohesion due to matric suction in the unsaturated shear strength could be derived.

On this study, engineering properties of SGR method and SMI method, which are typical sodium silicate methods, were compared through the laboratory test and durability, strength, waterproof characteristic and environmental effects were compared and analyzed with period and condition of curing on each case. As a result of durability test, volume change of SGR is approximately 23-times greater than SMI and the effects on environment are appeared safe on all method. In case of waterproof characteristic test, permeability coefficient is decreased about 24% on SMI, whereas on SGR permeability coefficient is showed to increase because rapid volume change make wider void. Strength characteristics of SMI are appeared higher about 11-times in case of homogel and 3.9-times in case of sandgel than SGR. Which is because volume change of SMI, caused by leaching, is smaller than SGR.
