The aim of the work descrihed in this paper is to study a characteristics of an unsaturated soil for the different matric suctions. To this end, a series of suction controlled isotropic and triaxial compression tests is conducted on silty sands. Matric suction is controlled by the axis translation technique using high air entry ceramic disk. Total volume change, air and water volume changes are measured by the device made for the experiment. The specimens are compacted using a half of Proctor compaction energy and with the water contents of 5% drier than the optimum moisture contents. Isotropic compression and triaxial compression tests are conducted on the specimen at each equilibrium state of matric suction. From test results, volume changes and deviator stresses are analyzed at each state and their relationships are formulated.

Based on the energy method considering the second order effects, the natural frequencies of externally prestressed simply supported beam and the compression softening effect of external prestress force were analyzed. It is concluded that the compression softening effect depends on the loss of external tendon eccentricity. As the number of deviators increases from zero to a large number, the compression softening effect of external prestress force decreases from the effect of axial compression to almost zero, which is consistent with the conclusion mathematically rigorously proven. The frequencies calculated by the energy method conform well to the frequencies by FEM which can simulate the frictionless slide between the external tendon and deviator, the accuracy of the energy method is validated. The calculation results show that the compression softening effect of external prestress force is negligible for the beam with 2 or more deviators due to slight loss of external tendon eccentricity. As the eccentricity and area of tendon increase, the first natural frequency of the simply supported beams noticeably increases, however the effect of the external tendon on other frequencies is negligible.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour of saturated silty sand under monotonic loading conditions. The undrained soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed at different confining pressures, void ratios and overconsolidation ratios and the samples were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain monotonic loading conditions. It is shown that increasing confining pressures, void ratios and overconsoildation ratios increases the deviator stress, but it has no effect on increasing the dilatant tendencies. It is shown that complete static liquefaction was observed regardless of increases in the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsolidation ratio. Therefore, the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsoildation ratio does not provide significant effects on the liquefaction resistance of the silty sand. The presence of fines in the soil was shown to greatly increase the potential for static liquefaction and creates a particle structure with high compressibility for all cases.

In this paper, a series of monotonic undrained shear tests were carried out on four kinds of sand-fine mixtures with various fines content. Two kinds of sands (Silica sand V3, V6) and fines (Iwakuni natural clay, Tottori silt) were mixed together in various proportions, while paying attention to the void ratio expressed in terms of sand structure $(F_c{\leq}F_{cth})$. The undrained shear strength of mixtures below the threshold fines content was observed so that as the plastic fines content increases, maximum deviator stress ratio decrease for dense samples while an increase is noted for loose samples. For non-plastic fines, the increase in the amount of fines leads to an increase in density of the soil, which results in an increase in strength. Then, the monotonic shear strength of the mixtures was estimated using the concept of granular void ratio. It was found that the shear strength of mixtures is greatly dependent on the skeleton structure of sand particles.

Design of the reinforced roadbed thickness is concerned with safe operation of trains at specified levels of speed, axle load and tonnage. There are two methods for evaluating it. One is using an experimental equation and the other is using elastic theory with considering axle load, material properties of subsoils and allowable elastic settlement. Multi-layered theory is used to determine reinforced roadbed thickness by RTRI. Although their reinforced roadbed thickness is designed with an objective of achieving a minimum standard 2.5mm of settlement on the subgrade surface, it is hardly applied to real design. Li(1994) has suggested the experimental model which design approach is to limit plastic strain and deformations for the design period. It is worth due to adopting soil equivalent number of repeated load application. Moreover, it has been a more advanced method than existing design methods because including resilient modulus of subsoil beneath track, soil deviator stress caused by train axle loads and MGT. In this paper, it is analyzed under domestic track conditions to estimate the reinforced roadbed thickness with different soil types.

A numerical procedure for the geometrical and material nonlinear analysis of concrete beams prestressed with external tendons is described, where the effects of external prestressing are treated as the equivalent loads applied on the concrete beams. The geometrical nonlinearity is considered not only the eccentricity variations of external tendons (second-order effects) but also the large displacement effects of the structure. The numerical method can predict the nonlinear response of externally prestressed concrete beams throughout the entire loading history with considerable accuracy. An evaluation of second-order effects of externally prestressed concrete beams is carried out using the proposed analysis. The analysis shows that the second-order effects have significant influence on the response characteristics of externally prestressed concrete beams. They lead to inferior ultimate load and strength capacities and a lower ultimate stress increase in tendons. Based on the current analysis, it is recommended that, for simply-supported externally prestressed beams with straight horizontal tendons, one deviator at midspan instead of two deviators at one-third span be furnished to minimize these effects.

토질분류법에서 흙은 크게 사질토와 점성토로 분류되며, 실제 설계에서도 이와 같이 분류된 흙 종류에 따라 다른 예측식을 사용하여 흙의 거동을 평가하고 있다. 그러나, 모래-세립분 혼합토는 전형적으로 중간토(intermediate soil or transitional soil)로 구분되어 모래와 점토의 중간적인 성질을 나타내기 때문에, 이러한 혼합토에 대한 거동특성을 평가할 수 있는 기준이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 입도분포를 조정한 특정 모래에 세 가지 종류의 세립분으로 구성된 다양한 세립분함유율을 갖는 시료를 대상으로 일련의 반복 삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 모래가 골격을 이루는 간극비(골격간극비)를 고려하여, Silica sand와 세립분(Iwakuni natural clay, Tottori silt, kaolinite)을 다양한 건조 중량비로 혼합하여 그 특성을 파악하였으며, 실험결과로 전환 세립분함유율(threshold fines content)을 넘지 않는 혼합토의 반복전단강도를 세립분 함유율 증가에 따라 평가하였다. 그 결과, 반복 전단응력비는 세립분 함유율 증가에 따라 조밀한 시료에서는 감소, 느슨한 시료에서는 증가하는 결과를 나타냈으며, 혼합토의 반복전단응력비를 등가골격간극비의 개념을 이용하여 평가했다.

본연구에서는 실트함유량에 따른 다양한 실트질모래의 전단특성에 관한 효과를 평가했다. 두 종류의 삼축 압축시험은 다져진 낙동강 모래속에 실트 함유율 10%와 30%를 혼합한 조건에서 원형공시체를 성형하고 비압밀 비배수 상태로 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 동일한 공시체는 같은 초기함수비로 5층으로 나누어 준비하여 포화시킨 다음 초기 유효 구속압을 100~400kPa까지 증가시킨 후 전단한다. 모든 공시체는 파괴 후 변형이 감소하는 경향을 보이며 응력변형률 곡선과 축차응력은 실트함유율이 10%일때가 30%일 때 보다 크게 나타났다. 간극수압은 실트함유율 10%인 공시체가 파괴 후의 간극비 증가로 인해 부의 영향이 나타났지만 반면에 실트함유율 30%인 공시체는 양의 경향을 나타났다. 실트함유량이 낮은 다져진 공시체의 거동은 실트함유량이 높은 경우 보다 더 심한 다이러턴시 경향을 나타났고 최대축차응력은 실트함유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 최대간극수압은 증가하였다.
