Mechanical, physical and petrographic properties of seventeen marble specimens collected from ten marble mines in Korea were investigated. Studied marbles were mainly composed of calcite, dolomite, and various amounts of serpentine, tremolite, olivine, quartz and opaque minerals. Complete and sutured textures were dominant. Compressive strength measured normal to the bedding plane is larger almost two times than that measured parallel to the bedding plane. From the results of Shore hardness test on marbles, water content was an important factor to decrease Shore hardness values. Engineering geological properties, especially, compressive strength, Young's modulus, wear resistance and water absorption could be controlled by the presence of quartz, and the type of marble texture. Water absorption-porosity, compressive strength-Young's modulus, and impact strength index-Los Angeles abrasion couples show good correlation. According to the comparative utility as commercial stone, it could be concluded that marbles from the Banglim mine, Songbo mine, Kwangdeok mine and Bongjeong mine were superior to that of other studied marbles.

Intermediate Geomaterials (IGMs) are natural formation materials that exhibit the engineering behavior (strength and compressibility) between soils and rocks. The engineering behavior of such material is highly unpredictable as the IGMs are stiffer than soils and weaker/softer than rocks. Further, the characterization of such material needs exposure to both soil and rock mechanics. In most conventional designs of geotechnical structures, the engineering properties of the IGMs are either aligned with soils or rocks, and this assumption may end up either in an over-conservative design or under-conservative design. Hence, many researchers have attempted to evaluate its actual engineering properties through laboratory tests. However, the test results are partially reliable due to the poor core recovery of IGMs and the possible sample disturbance. Subsequently, in-situ tests have been used in recent years to evaluate the engineering properties of IGMs. However, the respective in-situ test finds its limitations while exploring IGMs with different geological formations at deeper depths with the constraints of sampling. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the strength-based index test that is often used to explore IGMs. Moreover, it was also observed that the coefficient of variation of the design parameters (which represents the uncertainties in the design parameters) of IGMs is relatively high, and also the studies on the probabilistic characterization of IGMs are limited compared with soils and rocks. With this perspective, the present article reviews the laboratory and in-situ tests used to characterize the IGMs and explores the shear strength variation based on their geological origin.

기후변화에 따른 토석류 발생과 그로 인한 피해가 세계적으로 증가 추세에 있다. 토석류 연구는 역학적 관점에서 파괴 후(post-failure) 거동에 해당하며 지반강도와 유동특성을 분석함으로써 특성화할 수 있다. 본 연구는 국내의 토석류 발생지역인 상주(화강암 풍화토), 인제(편마암 풍화토), 포항(이암 및 셰일) 지역을 대상으로 지반의 물성-전단강도 상관관계와 토석류의 유동특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구지역을 대상으로 스웨덴 낙하 콘(Swedish Fall cone) 시험장치를 이용하여 지반의 물성 및 지반강도 사이에 일정한 상관관계가 있음을 밝혔다. 실험결과에 따르면, 인제, 상주, 포항지역에서 채취된 시료에 대해 액성지수(IL)와 비배수 전단강도($C_{ur}$) 사이에 $C_{ur}=(1.2/I_L)^{3.3}$의 관계식이 성립한다. 토석류 흐름을 지배하는 항복응력은 재성형 비배수 전단강도에 상응하는 것으로 간주하고, Bingham 모델과 액성지수-항복응력 관계식을 이용하여 토석류의 유동성을 조사하였다. 유동해석은 국내 풍화토와 낮은 활성점토를 구분하여 적용하였다. 이때 액성지수는 액성한계를 기준으로 $I_L=1$, 1.5, 3.0으로 구분하여 비교분석하였다. 동일한 액성지수($I_L=1$)에 대해, 토석류의 발생 5분 경과 후 최대 이동거리는 250m에 다다른다. 액성지수가 3으로 증가 될 경우, 토석류의 이동거리를 5분까지 살펴본 결과, 국내 풍화토는 낮은 활성점토에 비해 2배 이상 큰 유동성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 유동성 평가기술은 토석류 피해저감기술 전략수립에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

발파설계가 터널 굴착 시 암반손상 및 여굴에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 암반손상 및 여굴이 터널 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로서 발파설계가 터널 지보설계에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 도로터널의 일반적인 발파패턴에 대해 동적발파 수치해석을 시행하고 연속체 손상역학(continuum damage mechanics)의 손상변수(damage variable)를 이용하여 여굴과 암반손상 정도를 분석함으로서 터널 굴착면 주위의 암반손상 정도와 영역을 구분하였다. 또한 발파하중 같은 동적하중이 암반내를 전파할 때 변화하는 암반의 동적파괴기준에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 발파 암반손상 영향을 터널 안정성 해석에 반영하기 위하여 손상된 암반강성과 파괴기준을 적용하였다. 손상된 암반강성은 손상역학의 강도감소 모델을 이용하여 감소시켰다. 손상된 암반의 파괴기준은 암반강성과 지질강도지수의 관계식에서 도출한 손상된 지질강도지수(GSI$GSI_d$)를 적용함으로서 산출한 수정 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 적용하였다. 암반손상을 고려하여 터널안정성을 해석한 결과, 암반손상을 고려하지 않는 경우와 비교하여 소성영역 범위가 확대되고 변위량이 증가하였다. 이는 발파암반손상을 고려하지 않고 터널설계를 하는 경우 단기적 혹은 장기적으로 터널안정성이 위협받을 수 있음을 나타내었다.

Tianjin, which is located on the west shore of the Bohai Sea, is part of China's Circum-Bohai-Sea Region, where very weak clay is deposited. From the 1970s to the early $21^{st}$ century, Tianjin marine clay deposits have been the subject of numerous geotechnical investigations. Because of these deposits' geological complexity, great depositional thickness, high water content, large void ratio, excessive settlement, and low shear strength, the geotechnical properties of Tianjin marine clay need to be summarized and evaluated based on various in situ and laboratory tests so that Tianjin can safely and economically sustain more infrastructure in the coming decades. In this study, the properties of Tianjin marine clay, especially its consolidation properties, are summarized, evaluated and discussed. The focus is on establishing correlations between the geotechnical property indexes and mechanical parameters of Tianjin marine clay. These correlations include the correlations between the water content and the void ratio, the depth and the undrained shear strength, the liquid limit and the compression index, the tip resistance and the constrained modulus, the plasticity index and the ratio of undrained shear strength and the preconsolidation pressure. In addition, the primary consolidation properties of Tianjin marine clay, such as the intrinsic compression line (ICL), sedimentation compression line (SCL), compression index, $C_c$, coefficient of consolidation, $C_v$, and hydraulic conductivity change index, $C_{kv}$, are evaluated and discussed. A secondary consolidation property, i.e., the secondary compression index, $C_a$, is also investigated, and the results show that the ratio of $C_a/C_c$ for Tianjin marine clay can be used to calculate $C_a$ in secondary consolidation settlement predictions.

Natural pozzolans are used as additives in cement to develop more durable and high-performance concrete. Pozzolanic activity index (PAI) is important for assessing the performance of a pozzolan as a binding material and has an important effect on the compressive strength, permeability, and chemical durability of concrete mixtures. However, the determining of the 28 days (short term) and 90 days (long term) PAI of concrete mixtures is a time-consuming process. In this study, to reduce extensive experimental work, it is aimed to predict the short term and long term PAIs as a function of the chemical compositions of various natural pozzolans. For this purpose, the chemical compositions of various natural pozzolans from Central Anatolia were determined with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The mortar samples were prepared with the natural pozzolans and then, the short term and the long term PAIs were calculated based on compressive strength method. The effect of the natural pozzolans' chemical compositions on the short term and the long term PAIs were evaluated and the PAIs were predicted by using multiple linear regression (MLR) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model. The prediction model results show that both reactive SiO₂ and SiO₂+Al₂O₃+Fe₂O₃ contents are the most effective parameters on PAI. According to the performance of prediction models determined with metrics such as root mean squared error (RMSE) and coefficient of correlation (R²), ANFIS models are more feasible than the multiple regression model in predicting the 28 days and 90 days pozzolanic activity. Estimation of PAIs based on the chemical component of natural pozzolana with high-performance prediction models is going to make an important contribution to material engineering applications in terms of selection of favorable natural pozzolana and saving time from tedious test processes.

암석의 점하중 강도지수($I_{s}$)로 일축압축강도(${\sigma}_{c}$)를 추정함에 있어, ASTM이나 ISRM에서는 암종이나 지질학적 생성과정에 관계없이 직경방향 점하중 강도($I_{s}//$)의 23배(ASTM) 혹은 $20{\sim}25$배(ISRM)로 취하고 있다. 여기서는 경상분지의 울산에서 채취한 연약한 퇴적암의 시험결과로 ${\sigma}_{c}$와 $I_{s}$의 관계를 제시한다. ${\sigma}_{c}$와 $I_{s}$ 시험결과 ${\sigma}_{c}$의 추정값은 선형 회귀분석 보다는 강도비(${\sigma}_{c}/I_{s}$)로 표현하는 것이 추정오차가 적었다. 그리고 약면이 내포된 퇴적암의 강도비는 ${\sigma}_{c}/I_{s}//$보다 ${\sigma}_{c}/I_{s}{\bot}$의 추정오차가 더 작으므로 ${\sigma}_{c}$추정치는 ASTM이나 ISRM에서 제시한 값보다 낮게 취해야 참값에 가까울 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

In this study, using constant normal stiffness(CNS) direct shear tests, side shear load distribution were analyzed by the influencing parameters of unconfined compressive strength, surface roughness, confining stress, and material properties. Based on the CNS tests, side shear load transfer function of drilled shafts in rock is proposed using geological strength index(GSI), which indicates discontinuity and surface condition of rock mass in Hoek-Brown criterion. Though comparisons with results of nine drilled shafts's load tests, it is found that the load-transfer curve by this study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurements, and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of bearing capacity of drilled shaft.

The aim of this paper was to study the influence of the footing shape and the effect of the roughness of the foundation base on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on rock masses. For this purpose the finite difference method was used to analyze the bearing capacity of various types and states of rock masses under the assumption of Hoek-Brown failure criterion, for both plane strain and axisymmetric model, and considering smooth and rough interface. The results were analyzed based on a sensitivity study of four varying parameters: foundation width, rock material constant (mo), uniaxial compressive strength and geological strength index. Knowing how each parameter influences the bearing capacity depending on the footing shape (circular vs strip footing) and the footing base interface roughness (smooth vs rough), two correlation factors were developed to estimate the percentage increase of the ultimate bearing capacity as a function of the footing shape and the roughness of the footing base interface.
