The mechanical properties of the concrete-frozen soil interface play a significant role in the stability and service performance of construction projects in cold regions. Current research mainly focuses on the precast concrete-frozen soil interface, with limited consideration for the more realistic cast-in-place concrete-frozen soil interface. The two construction methods result in completely different contact surface morphologies and exhibit significant differences in mechanical properties. Therefore, this study selects silty clay as the research object and conducts direct shear tests on the concrete-frozen soil interface under conditions of initial water content ranging from 12% to 24%, normal stress from 50 kPa to 300 kPa, and freezing temperature of -3℃. The results indicate that (1) both interface shear stress-displacement curves can be divided into three stages: rapid growth of shear stress, softening of shear stress after peak, and residual stability; (2) the peak strength of both interfaces increases initially and then decreases with an increase in water content, while residual strength is relatively less affected by water content; (3) peak strength and residual strength are linearly positively correlated with normal stress, and the strength of ice bonding is less affected by normal stress; (4) the mechanical properties of the cast-in-place concrete-frozen soil interface are significantly better than those of the precast concrete-frozen soil interface. However, when the water content is high, the former's mechanical performance deteriorates much more than the latter, leading to severe strength loss. Therefore, in practical engineering, cast-in-place concrete construction is preferred in cases of higher negative temperatures and lower water content, while precast concrete construction is considered in cases of lower negative temperatures and higher water content. This study provides reference for the construction of frozen soil-structure interface in cold regions and basic data support for improving the stability and service performance of cold region engineering.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cause of damage to the three storied stone pagoda of Bulguksa temple in GyeongJu. This report is attempted to making reinforcement and conservation plan through investigating and analyzing the cause of damage to that. The damage is caused by occurring of stress, degrading of stone strength, changing of underground soil structure, natural disasters and so on. Compressive stress, shear stress, bending stress and lateral pressure affected to the pagoda since built up. Ultrasonic examination data tells the strength of the stone. According to this result, strength of the stereobate stone materials is enough to support the weight of the upper ones. But we could found many other factors of the damage could consider, for example the problems occurred on building the pagoda construction and the weakness of the stone material(soft rock). And many environmental factors being changed in soil structure(subsidence of soil and degradation of bearing power of soil and freezing and melting of soil) can be seen as the cause of the damage. Natural disasters like earthquake, lightning and heavy rain were also thought to give direct impact to the damage. At last Concentration of compressive stress caused the crack and exfoliation on the stone materials and shear stress, bending stress and lateral pressure were main causes of the stereobate stone materials shearing.

The shear behavior of soil-concrete interface is mainly affected by the surface roughness of the two contact surfaces. The present research emphasizes on investigating the effect of roughness of soil-concrete interface on the interface shear behavior in two-layered laboratory testing samples. In these specially prepared samples, clay silt layer with density of $2027kg/m^3$ was selected to be in contact a concrete layer for simplifying the laboratory testing. The particle size testing and direct shear tests are performed to determine the appropriate particles sizes and their shear strength properties such as cohesion and friction angle. Then, the surface undulations in form of teeth are provided on the surfaces of both concrete and soil layers in different testing carried out on these mixed specimens. The soil-concrete samples are prepared in form of cubes of 10*10*30 cm. in dimension. The undulations (inter-surface roughness) are provided in form of one tooth or two teeth having angles $15^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$, respectively. Several direct shear tests were carried out under four different normal loads of 80, 150, 300 and 500 KPa with a constant displacement rate of 0.02 mm/min. These testing results show that the shear failure mechanism is affected by the tooth number, the roughness angle and the applied normal stress on the sample. The teeth are sheared from the base under low normal load while the oblique cracks may lead to a failure under a higher normal load. As the number of teeth increase the shear strength of the sample also increases. When the tooth roughness angle increases a wider portion of the tooth base will be failed which means the shear strength of the sample is increased.

Coalescence process of binary immiscible fluid mixtures having bimodal size distributions, prepared by mixing two pre-sheared samples at different shear rates, ${\gamma}_{pre1}\;and\;{\gamma}_{pre2}$, under shear flow at a final shear rate, ${\gamma}_f$, are examined by transient shear stress measurements and microscopic observations in comparison with the results for simply pre-sheared samples having narrow size distributions (unimodal distribution samples). Component fluids are a silicone oil (PDMS) and a hydrocarbon-formaldehyde resin (Genelite) and their viscosities are 14.1 and 21.0 $pa{\cdot}sec$ at room temperature $(ca.\;20^{\circ}C)$, respectively. The weight ratio of PDMS: Genelite was 7:3. Three cases, $({\gamma}_{pre1}=7.2sec^{-1},\;{\gamma}_{pre2}=12.0sec^{-1}\;and\;{\gamma}_f=2.4sec^{-1}),\;({\gamma}_{pre1}=0.8sec^{-1},\;{\gamma}_{pre2}=4.0sec^{-1}\;and\;{\gamma}_f=2.4sec^{-1}),\;and\;({\gamma}_{pre1}=7.2sec^{-1},\;{\gamma}_{pre2}=12.0^sec^{-1}\;and\;{\gamma}_f=7.2sec^{-1})$ the first case, transient shear stress did not show any significant difference but domains larger than the initial state are observed at short times. In the latter cases, there exist undershoot of shear stress, reflecting existence of deformed large domains, which is confirmed by the direct observation. It is concluded that coalescence between large and small domains more frequently occur than coalescence between the domains with similar size in the bimodal distribution samples.

동토기반 말뚝기초의 지지력은 말뚝구조물 표면과 주변 토사의 접촉면에서 발현되는 동착강도에 의해 산정되며, 이는 동착-강도가 동토지반 기초설계를 위한 가장 주요한 설계정수임을 의미한다. 동착강도는 토사종류, 동결온도, 말뚝표면에 수직방향으로 작용하는 지중응력, 재하속도, 말뚝구조물의 표면 거칠기 등 다양한 인자들에 동시다발적인 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 1960년대부터 동토지반 기초설계를 위한 동착강도 산정방법들이 제안되어 왔으나, 대부분 동결온도와 말뚝구조물 표면특성에 대한 영향은 고려하고 있는 반면 동착강도의 주요 영향인자 중 하나인 지중응력에 의한 영향을 고려하지 않고 있어 소정깊이 이상의 말뚝기초 설계를 위한 동착강도 산정방법으로 활용되기에는 한계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 동결온도뿐 아니라 지중응력이 동착강도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 직접전단시험기를 활용한 동결토 전단강도 및 동착강도 측정실험을 각각 수행하였다. 실험결과 전단강도와 동착강도는 모두 동결온도 조건이 낮아질수록, 혹은 수직응력 조건이 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 전단강도와 동착강도의 정량적 관계분석을 위해 정의된 전단강도와 동착강도의 비 $r_s$는 초기 동결온도에서는 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으나, 동결온도가 낮아질수록 증가하며 수렴구간을 형성해가는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 최종적인 연구결과로서 동결온도 및 수직응력 조건을 바탕으로 결정된 $r_s$값을 이용하여 동결토의 전단강도로부터 동착강도를 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 있다.

본 논문에서는 HDPE 표면처리(textured) 지오멤브레인의 경계면 전단거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 표면처리 지오멤브레인과 marl, 그리고 직포(woven geotextile)와의 경계면에서 발생하는 경계면 전단강도를 측정하였으며, 표면처리의 영향을 파악하기 위해 매끈한(smooth) 지오멤브레인과 직포와의 경계면 전단강도를 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 경계면 전단강도는 대형직접전단 시험기를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 다양한 조건에 대해 거동 변화를 알아보기 위해 수침조건과 수직응력을 변화시켰다. 시험에 사용된 수직응력은 총 6단계로 저압(12, 24, 45kPa)과 고압(100, 500, 1,000kPa)으로 구분하여 적용하였다. 시험결과 수침에 의한 경계면 전단강도의 감소는 유의미한 수준으로 나타났으며, 수직응력의 영향은 불확실했다. 표면처리 여부에 따라 경계면 전단강도는 큰 차이를 보여주었는데 매끈한 지오멤브레인의 경계면 전단강도는 표면처리 지오멤브레인에 비해 절반까지 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

사질토 지반에 근입된 말뚝의 주변부에서는 말뚝의 수직하중에 의한 전단변형 시, 반경방향으로의 변위가 구속된다. 이러한 연직변위 구속상태에서의 전단강도는 기존의 직접전단실험으로는 모사하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 직접전단동안 연직변위를 허용하는 연직변위 허용조건(Free Normal Displacement: FND)의 직접전단실험과 연직변위를 허용하지 않는 연직변위 구속조건(Constrained Normal Displacement: CND)의 직접전단실험을 통하여 연직변위 구속여부가 전단강도에 미치는 영향을 평가 하는 것이다. 직접전단실험은 균등한 입도분포를 갖는 주문진 표준사를 사용하여, 연직변위의 구속여부에 따라 다양한 상대밀도와 초기응력조건 상태에서 수행되었다. 실험결과, CND 직접전단실험에서 얻은 전단강도는 FND 직접전단실험에서 얻은 전단강도보다 크게 나타났다. 또한, 상대밀도가 클수록 연직변위의 구속효과로 인한 전단강도의 증분이 더욱 늘어남을 보여주었다. 반면, 초기 연직응력의 증가는 구속효과로 인한 전단강도 증분의 감소로 나타나는 것을 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 경계부가 구속된 사질토지반의 안정성 평가 시, 전단강도에 대한 연직변위의 구속효과를 고려해야 함을 보여준다.

When an earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machine bores a tunnel in gravelly sand stratum, the excavated natural soil is normally transformed using foam and water to reduce cutter wear and the risk of direct muck squeezing out of the screw conveyor (i.e., muck spewing). Understanding the undrained shear behavior of conditioned soils under pressure is a potential perspective for optimizing the earth pressure balance shield tunnelling strategies. Owing to the unconventional properties of conditioned soil, a pressurized vane shear apparatus was utilized to investigate the undrained shear behavior of foam-conditioned gravelly sands under normal pressure. The results showed that the shear stress-displacement curves exhibited strain-softening behavior only when the initial void ratio (e₀) of the foam-conditioned sand was less than the maximum void ratio (e_max) of the unconditioned sand. The peak and residual strength increased with an increase in normal pressure and a decrease in foam injection ratio. A unique relation between the void ratio and the shear strength in the residual stage was observed in the e-ln(τ) space. When e₀ was greater than e_max, the fluid-like specimens had quite low strengths. Besides, the stick-slip behavior, characterized by the variation coefficient of measured shear stress in the residual stage, was more evident under lower pressure but it appeared to be independent of the foam injection. A comparison between the results of pressurized vane shear tests and those of slump tests indicated that the slump test has its limitations to characterize the chamber muck fluidity and build the optimal conditioning parameters.

The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced lightweight soil using waste fishing net or monofilament for recycling both dredged soils and bottom ash. Reinforced lightweight soil consists of dredged soil, cement, air foam, and bottom ash. Waste fishing net or monoiament was added the mixture in order to increase the shear strength of the lightweight soil. Test specimens were fabricated with various mixing conditions, including waste fishing net content and monofilament content. Several series of unconfined compression tests and direct shear tests were carried out. From the experimental results, it was found that the unconfined compressive strength, as well as the stress-strain behavior of reinforced lightweight soil was strongly influenced by mixing conditions. In this study, the maximum increase in shear strength was obtained with either a 0.5% content of monofilament or 0.25% waste fishing net. The unconfined compressive strength of reinforced lightweight soil with monofilament was greater than that of reinforced lightweight soil with waste fishing net.

The behavior of a jointed rock mass depends mainly on the geometrical and mechanical properties of joints. The failure mode of a rock mass and kinematics of rock blocks are governed by the orientation, spacing, and persistence of joints. The mechanical properties such as dilation angle, shear strength, maximum closure, strength of asperities and friction coeffiient play important roles on the stability and deformation of the rock mass. The normal and shear behaviour of a joint are coupled due to dilation, and the joint deformation depends also on the boundary conditions such as stiffness conditons. In this paper, the joint constitutive law including the dilatant behaviour of a joint is numerically modelled using the edge-to-edge contact logic in distinct element method. Also, presented is the method to quantify the input parameters used in the joint law. The results from uniaxial compression and direct shear tests using the numeical model of the single joint were compared to the analytic results from them. The boundary effect on the behaviour of a joint is verified by comparing the results of direct shear test under constant stress boundary condition with those under constant stiffness boundary condition. The numerical model developed is applied to a complex jointed rock mass to examine its performance and to evaluate the effect of joint dilation on tunnel stability.
