This study is about the application of waste stone sludge as fill material. Waste stone sludge, weathered granite soil, and the mixture of the former and the latter strengthened with staple fiber are experimentally analyzed for measuring strength property. When staple fiber was mixed with waste stone sludge, weathered granite soil, and the mixture, there was a nearly linear relationship between the amount of the staple fiber and the increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength. The increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength was the largest in weathered granite soil. The increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength of the mixture was similar to that of waste stone sludge. In the case of the mixture of weathered granite soil and waste stone sludge, an internal friction angle tended to increases rely on increasement of staple fiber content, whereas the change of cohesion was small. An internal friction angle was increased by 21 percent when staple fiber content is 0.75 percent. Comparing with weathered granite soil or waste stone sludge, strength parameters of the mixture were increased relatively. Thus strengthening effect of staple fiber in the mixture is expected.

Weathered granite soil is the most representative as a surface soil in Korea. In this paper, the dynamic properties and settlement characteristics of Korea granite soil are studied through the dynamic triaxial compression tests. The dynamic characteristics are very important on the analysis of the foundations under dynamic loading such as machine vibration and earthquake. Soil samples having different grain sixtes were prepared at the relative densities between 80oA and 90oA and tested to measure shear moduli and damping ratios at each level of shear strain. The measured shear moduli of weathered granite soils showed large variations according to the grain sizes, confining pressures, relative densities and shear strains. Sandy weathered granite had a little larger dynamic properties than the average values of the sand studied by Seed and Idriss. Pot the well compacted granite soils, little residual settlements occured due to dynamic loading.

The recycled fine aggregates were mixed with weathered granite soils typically used for fill materials and tested engineering properties, physical properties, and compaction characteristics according to the mixing ratio of the mixed soils. The results of this study were as follows. For the results of A-type compaction test, the recycled fine aggregates showed low effects compared to the weathered soils, but the mixed soils which were mixed with the weathered granite soils and the recycled fine aggregates showed good compaction effects. Especially, the mixing ratio of 70:30 by weight showed for maximum compaction result. From the results of the direct shear test, the cohesion was ince csed according to proportion of the weathered granite soils. The weathered granite soils neared the optimum moisture content showed for maximum shear strength paramcoers, while the cohesion of the mixed soil was relatively ince csed in the wet side of the optimum moisture content. This trend was seemed to remained cence composition in the recycled fine aggregates. The internal friction angle of the recycled fine aggregates and the mixed soils showed maximum value near dry side of the optimum moisture contents. And the internal friction angles of the mixed soils were increased according to higher proportion of the recycled fine aggregates.

Dynamic characteristics of decomposed granite soil mixed with stone sludge and bentonite were investigated to figure out adequate applications of stone sludge, A total of 16 specimens with different stone sludge contents of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and bentonite with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% were prepared. Resonant column tests were carried out on each specimen at different confining pressure. The results showed that the optimum mixing ratio which can satisfy the maximum shear modulus and the minimum damping ratio of the decomposed granite soils ranges from 5% to 10% respectively.

Kinetic and isotherm properties of the cadmium adsorption onto calcium sand and granite soil were evaluated by batch experiments. The pHs of calcium sand and granite soil were 9.51 and 6.33, respectively, showing that the precipitation of heavy metals can be occurred due to the increase of pH when the calcium sand is used as an adsorbent. The pseudo-second-order model described the adsorption kinetics satisfactory with correlation coefficients over 0.999. The equilibrium adsorption capacities of calcium sand and granite soil were 2.10 and 2.16 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption isotherm followed the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating the cadmium adsorbed onto the heterogeneous surfaces of adsorbents.

In order to treat flow problems for unsaturated soils, it is necessary to obtain the soil-water characteristic curves which show nonlinear relationship between metric suction and volumetric water content. With two different pleasuring devices, measurements of the matric suction were taken for Jumoonjin sand, Hangang sand, and weathered granite soils with different fined. Experimental parameters which can describe experimental formulas for the soil-water characteristics were determined by using the data obtained from the experiment. Among experimental formulas of previous researchers, that of van Genuchten(1980) agreed well with the results of experiments. For weathered granite soils, the parameters increased with the increase of fine contents, Therefore, the soil-water characteristic for a weathered soil can be estimated by using Parameters corresponding to its fine contents.

In this study, flowable backfill made with weathered granite soil is tested to provide basic engineering properties that can be used as design input to overcome settlement problems in road pavement due to low stiffness of backfill which is generated by porosity of the soil. For design purpose, a proper mixing ratio is developed first. Then several test methods including FF/RC, PMT and LDWT including axial compression test are adapted for checking stiffness and measuring axial strength of the material separately that can be used for design values.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effect of forced temperature change cycles on physical and mechanical properties of sand and weathered granite soil. The effect of forced temperature change cycles on the particle arrangement and the thermal conductivity was first investigated. A series of triaxial compression tests on the soils were also performed to look into the effect of temperature change cycles on the stress-strain-strength behavior.

보강토공법이란 다양한 보강재를 흙속에 삽입하여 흙이 갖지 못하는 인장력을 보충함으로써 구조물을 안정화시키는 공법이다. 그리고 기존공법에 비해 경제적 구조물로 인식되고 있으며 또한 최근들어 전세계적으로 빈발하는 지진에도 그 저항력이 아주 큰 구조물임이 입증이 되어 현재 토목분야에서 각광을 받고 있는 공법이다. 보강토옹벽의 뒤채움재료로서 현재 우리나라에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 화강풍화토가 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 설계에 필요로 하는 이에 대한 데이터는 그리 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 어디서나 쉽게 구할 수 있는 화강풍화토를 채취하여 대형 인발시험을 실시하였다. 인발시 흙과 보강재 사이의 상호거동을 파악하기 위하여 인발변위, 인발력, 삽입보강재의 각 지점에서의 절점변위 등을 측정하였다. 그리고 구속응력의 영향을 검토하기 위해서 이들 응력을 0.2, 0.5, 1.0kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$으로 변화시켜 실험을 행하였다. 그리고, 다짐률이 이들 상호거동에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해서 다짐률을 65%, 80%m 95% 등으로 시료를 제작하여 서로 비교를 행하였다. 실험결과로부터 화강풍화토의 보강재와의 상호거동특성을 파악하여 제시하였다. 특히 다짐률은 상호거동특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났으며, 화강토의 경우, 꽤 큰 점착특성이 존재하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
