Triaxial compression creep tests were performed on salt rock samples using cyclic confining pressure with a static axial pressure. The test results show that, up to a certain time, changes in the confining pressure have little influence on creep properties of salt rock, and the axial creep curve is smooth. After this point, the axial creep curve clearly fluctuates with the confining pressure, and is approximately a straight line both when the confining pressure decreases and when it increases within one cycle period. The slope of these lines differs: it is greater when the confining pressure decreases than when it increases. In accordance with rheology model theory, axial creep equations were deduced for Maxwell and Kelvin models under cyclic loading. These were combined to establish an axial creep equation for the Burgers model. We supposed that damage evolution follows an exponential law during creep process and replaced the apparent stress in creep equation for the Burgers model with the effective stress, the axial creep damage equation for the Burgers model was obtained. The model suitability was verified using creep test results for salt rock. The fitting curves are in excellent agreement with the test curves, so the proposed model can well reflect the creep behavior of salt rock under low-frequency cyclic loading. In particular, it reflects the fluctuations in creep deformation and creep rate as the confining pressure increasing and decreasing under different cycle periods.

The aim of the present work was the study of instability in a loose sand from Les Dunes beach in Ain Beninan, Algeria, where the Boumerdes earthquake occurred in 2003. This earthquake caused significant structural damages and claimed the lives of many people. Damages caused to infrastructures were strongly related to phenomena of liquefaction. The study was based on the results of two drained and six undrained triaxial tests over a local sand collected in a region where liquefaction occurred. All the tests hereby analyzed followed compression stress-paths in monotonic conditions and the specimens were isotropically consolidated, since the objective was to study the instability due to static loading as part of a more general project, which also included cyclic studies. The instability was modeled with the second-order work increment criterion. The definition of the instability line for Les Dunes sand and its relation with yield surfaces allowed the identification of the region of potential instability and helped in the evaluation of the susceptibility of soils to liquefy under undrained conditions and its modeling. The dilatancy rate was studied in the points where instability began. Some mixed tests were also simulated, starting with drained conditions and then changing to undrained conditions at different time steps.

본 연구에서는 모래에서 점토에 이르는 넓은 범위의 혼합시료를 재성형하기 위하여 세립분으로 활성을 가지고 있는 자연점토와 조립분으로 규사를 혼합하여 실험에 이용하였다. 공시체는 세립분함유율이 낮은 범위 즉, 모래입자가 골격구조를 형성하고 있는 범위에 대해서는 다양한 간극비를 조성하기 위해 습윤 다짐방법을 이용하였으며, 활성을 나타내는 범위에 대해서는 정규압밀점토의 일정한 간극비를 조성하기 위해 예압밀방법을 이용하여 다양한 세립분함유율을 갖는 공시체를 제작하여 비배수 반복 전단실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 세립분함유율 20%미만의 시료에서 동일한 세립분함유율의 공시체에 대해 모래 골격간극비가 증가함에 따라 반복 전단강도는 감소하였으며 더욱이, 실험시료의 골격간극비가 규사의 최대간극비 이상의 범위에서는 흙의 구조가 다짐에너지의 영향을 거의 받지 않고 강도발현의 주체가 점토 매트릭스에 지배되는것을 알 수 있다. 모래점토 혼합토를 대상으로한 비배수 반복 전단실험에서 세립분 함유율이 20%미만의 낮은 영역에서 조립자의 구조는 반복 전단강도 특성에 큰 영향을 미치며 더욱이, 세립분함유율보다 모래구조의 밀도에 유의하는것이 더욱 적합한 것을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 변형률 수준별 실내진동시험 및 지진응답해석의 수행을 기초로 하는 새로운 액상화 평가법을 제안하였다. 제안된 평 가법에서는 비 배수조건 하에서 진동전단하중으로 야기된 과잉간극수압의 누적으로 액상화가 발생하는 점을 고려하여 진동하중을 받는 포화지반의 액상화 거동을 실내진동시험결과의 전단응력-전단변형률 이력곡선을 토대로 산정한 교란도와 소성 전단변형률 상각궤도의 변화로 정의하였으며, 이를 실지진 시간이력의 지반 내 거동변화와 연계시킴으로써 지진이 보유한 연속성 및 불규칙성을 합리적으로 고려하도록 하였다. 또한, 제안된 평가법에서는 진동하중의 변화에 관계없이 액상화 발생시 포화사절토의 동적특성은 일정하다는 일련의 연구사례를 토대로 내친 해석시 이용되는 전변형률 수준의 동적물성 획득시험만으로도 액상화 평가가 가능하도록 하였으며 정현하중의 크기를 달리한 진동삼축시험에서 산정된 액상화 발생시의 소성 전단변형률 상각궤도를 비교함으로써 이에 대한 검증연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 진동정현하중의 크기에 관계없이 액상화 발생시 지반의 동적특성 치가 유일한 값을 나타내었다 그러므로, 제안된 평가법은 변형률 수준별 실내진동시험을 통해 지반의 동적물성 획득과 액낭화 평가 수행이 가능할 뿐만 아니라, 지진응답해석을 통해 불규칙한 실지진 시간이력 전부를 고려하는 특징으로 육상화 평가결과의 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Cyclic triaxial and resonant column tests were conducted to understand the beneficial effects of various grouted sands on liquefaction resistance and dynamic properties. The test procedures were performed on a variety of grouted sands, such as silicate-grouted sand, silicate-cement grouted sand and cement-grouted sand. For each type of grout, sand specimen was mixed with a 3.5% and 5% grout by volume. The specimens were tested at a curing age of 3, 7, 28 and 91 days, and the results of the cyclic stress ratio, the maximum shear modulus and the damping ratio were obtained during the testing program. The influence of important parameters, including the type of grout, grout content, shear strain, confining pressure, and curing age, were investigated. Results indicated that sodium silicate grout does not improve the liquefaction resistance and shear modulus; however, silicate-cement and cement grout remarkably increased the liquefaction resistance and shear modulus. Shear modulus decreased and damping ratio increased with an increase in the amplitude of shear strain. The effect of confining pressure on clean sand and sodium silicate grouted sand was found to be insignificant. Furthermore, a nonlinear regression analysis was used to prove the agreement of the shear modulus-shear strain relation presented by the hyperbolic law for different grouted sands, and the coefficients of determination, $R^2$, were nearly greater than 0.984.

The purpose of this study is investigated the method for estimation of the liquefaction on the reclaimed land, located in Incheon and assessed the ability of liquefaction under the condition of criteria, which is the magnitude '6.5' of seismic on the basis of the domestic seismic characteristics. Performed not only field test but the experiment as well to study how the fine content would affect into the dreging and reclaimed land and also estimated the safety factor through the empirical method and anticipated detail method based on the results. Within the reclaimed land, there are many sized soils which are almost extended from well-graded silty sand(SM) to poor-graded fine grained sand, and which have the condition, so called, the liquefaction which is easily to bring into under the circumstances within the ground. However, partly, now that the soil is mixed with silt and silty clay which include the content of fine grained dust quite a bit, the difficulties and inconveniences has been expected while trying to find the ratio of cyclic resistance, but finally Seed and Idriss method showed the most way when we estimate the safety factor on the liquefaction.

In coal mining activities, the abutment stress of the coal has to undergo cyclic loading and unloading, affecting the strength and seepage characteristics of coal; additionally, it can cause dynamic disasters, posing a major challenge for the safety of coal mine production. To improve the understanding of the dynamic disaster mechanism of gas outburst and rock burst coupling, triaxial devices are applied to axial pressure cyclic loading-unloading tests under different axial stress peaks and different pore pressures. The existing empirical formula is use to perform a non-linear regression fitting on the relationship between stress and permeability, and the damage rate of permeability is introduced to analyze the change in permeability. The results show that the permeability curve obtained had "memory", and the peak stress was lower than the conventional loading path. The permeability curve and the volume strain curve show a clear symmetrical relationship, being the former in the form of a negative power function. Owing to the influence of irreversible deformation, the permeability difference and the damage of permeability mainly occur in the initial stage of loading-unloading, and both decrease as the number of cycles of loading-unloading increase. At the end of the first cycle and the second cycle, the permeability decreased in the range of 5.777 - 8.421 % and 4.311-8.713 %, respectively. The permeability decreases with an increase in the axial stress peak, and the damage rate shows the opposite trend. Under the same conditions, the permeability of methane is always lower than that of helium, and it shows a V-shape change trend with increasing methane pressures, and the permeability of the specimen was 3 MPa > 1 MPa > 2 MPa.

Rocks undergoing repeated loading and unloading over an extended period, such as due to earthquakes, human excavation, and blasting, may result in the gradual accumulation of stress and deformation within the rock mass, eventually reaching an unstable state. In this study, a CNN-CCM is proposed to address the mechanical behavior. The structure and hyperparameters of CNN-CCM include Conv2D layers × 5; Max pooling2D layers × 4; Dense layers × 4; learning rate=0.001; Epoch=50; Batch size=64; Dropout=0.5. Training and validation data for deep learning include 71 rock samples and 122,152 data points. The AI Rock Constitutive Model learned by CNN-CCM can predict strain values(ε₁) using Mass (M), Axial stress (σ₁), Density (ρ), Cyclic number (N), Confining pressure (σ₃), and Young's modulus (E). Five evaluation indicators R², MAPE, RMSE, MSE, and MAE yield respective values of 0.929, 16.44%, 0.954, 0.913, and 0.542, illustrating good predictive performance and generalization ability of model. Finally, interpreting the AI Rock Constitutive Model using the SHAP explaining method reveals that feature importance follows the order N > M > σ₁ > E > ρ > σ₃.Positive SHAP values indicate positive effects on predicting strain ε₁ for N, M, σ₁, and σ₃, while negative SHAP values have negative effects. For E, a positive value has a negative effect on predicting strain ε₁, consistent with the influence patterns of conventional physical rock constitutive equations. The present study offers a novel approach to the investigation of the mechanical constitutive model of rocks under cyclic loading and unloading conditions.

There are many problems in the prediction of dynamic behaviors of saturated soils because undrained excess pore water pressure builds up and then the strain softening behavior is occurred simultaneously. A few analytical constitutive models based on the effective stress concept have been proposed but most models hardly predict the excess pore water pressure and strain softening behaviors correctly In this study, the disturbed state concept (DSC) model proposed by Dr, Desai was modified to predict the saturated soil behaviors under the dynamic loads. Also, back-prediction program was developed for verification of modified DSC model. Cyclic triaxial tests were carried out to determine DSC parameters and test result was compared with the result of back-prediction. Through this research, it is proved that the proposed model based on the modified disturbed state concept can predict the realistic soil dynamic characteristics such as stress degradation and strain softening behavior according to dynamic process of excess pore water pressure.
