In this study the confining pressure dependancy of internal friction angle of rock materials are discussed based on the results of a series of large triaxial tests under consolidated-drained condition. The rock materials tested are two kinds of grain-size distribution ;one is well graded, the other poorly graded(a uniform distribution). The obtained results shows that the internal friction angle of rock materials decreases more sharply in low stress level than in high stress level, and the test constants A and b in De Mello's failure criterion on rockfill materials are A =0.683∼l.584, b=0.712∼l.015 for the well graded and A=1.145∼l.523, b=0.788∼0.880 for the poorly graded.

The effect of particle breakage and intermediate principal stress ratio on the behaviour of crushable granular assemblies under true triaxial stress conditions is studied using the discrete element method. Numerical results show that the increase of intermediate principal stress ratio $b(b=({\sigma}_2-{\sigma}_3)/({\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_3))$ results in the increase of dilatancy at low confining pressures but the decrease of dilatancy at high confining pressures, which stems from the distinct increasing compaction caused by breakage with b. The influence of b on the evolution of the peak apparent friction angle is also weakened by particle breakage. For low relative breakage, the relationship between the peak apparent friction angle and b is close to the Lade-Duncan failure model, whereas it conforms to the Matsuoka-Nakai failure model for high relative breakage. In addition, the increasing tendency of relative breakage, calculated based on a fractal particle size distribution with the fractal dimension being 2.5, declines with the increasing confining pressure and axial strain, which implies the existence of an ultimate graduation. Finally, the relationship between particle breakage and plastic work is found to conform to a unique hyperbolic correlation regardless of the test conditions.

It is important to estimate the shear strength of shallow compacted soils as a construction material. A series of constant water content triaxial compression (CWCC) tests under low confining state in this study were performed on compacted geomaterials. For establishing a relationship of the shear strengths between saturated and unsaturated states on compacted geomaterials, the suction stresses were derived by two methods: the conventional suction-measured method and the Suction stress-SWRC Method (SSM). Considering the suction stress as an equivalent confining stress component in the (${\sigma}_{net}$, ${\tau}$) plane, it was found that the peak deviator stress states agree well with the failure line of the saturated state from the triaxial compression test when the SSM is applied to obtain the suction stress. On the other hand, the cavitation phenomenon on the measurement of suction affected the results of the conventional suction-measured method. These results mean that the SSM is distinctly favorable for obtaining the suction value in the CWCC test because the SSM is not restricted by the cavitation phenomenon. It is expected that the application of the SSM would reduce the time required, and the projected cost with the additional equipment such as a pore water measuring device in the CWCC test.

The low rate of penetration and short lifetime of drilling bit served as the most common problems encountered in hard formation drilling, thus leading to severe restriction of drilling efficiency in oil and gas reservoir. This study developed a new local impact drilling method to enhance hard formation drilling efficiency. The limitation length formulas of radial/lateral cracks under static indentation and dynamic impact are derived based on the experimental research of Marshall D.B considering the mud column pressure and confining pressure. The local impact rock breaking simulation model is conducted to investigate its ROP raising effect. The results demonstrate that the length of radial/lateral cracks will increase as the decrease of mud pressure and confining pressure, and the local impact can result in a damage zone round the impact crater which helps the rock cutting, thus leading to the ROP increase. The numerical results also demonstrate the advantages of local impact method for raising ROP and the vibration reduction of bit in hard formation drilling. This study has shown that the local impact method can help raising the ROP and vibration reduction of bit, and it may be applied in drilling engineering.

The bearing mechanism of pile during installation and loading process which controls the deformation and distribution of strain and stress in the soil surrounding pile tip is complex and full of much uncertainty. It is pointed out that particle crushing occurs in significant stress concentrated region such as the area surrounding pile tip. The solution to this problem requires the understanding and modeling of the mechanical behavior of granular soil under high pressures. This study aims to investigate the sand behavior around pile tip considering the characteristics of sand crushing. The numerical analysis of model pile loading test under different surcharge pressure with constitutive model for sand crushing is presented. This constitutive model is capable of predicting the dilatancy of soil from negative to positive under low confining pressure and only negative dilatancy under high confining pressure. The predicted relationships between the normalized bearing stress and normalized displacement are agreeable with the experimental results during the entire loading process. It is estimated from numerical results that the vertical stress beneath pile tip is up to 20 MPa which is large enough to cause sand to be crushed. The predicted distribution area of volumetric strain represents that the distributed area shaped wedge for volumetric contraction is beneath pile tip and distributed area for volumetric expansion is near the pile shaft. It is demonstrated that the finite element formulation incorporating a constitutive model for sand with crushing is capable of producing reasonable results for the pile loading problem.

지진에 의한 지반거동 및 지반-구조물 상호작용 등 지반동역학적 문제분석을 위해서는 정확한 동적 토질전단탄성계수의 획득이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 자료를 조사분석하여 어떤 변형율에서도 활용할 수 있는 사질토 전단탄성계수 감소곡선을 위한 경험식을 제안하였다. 비소성 토질의 전단탄성계수 감소곡선의 위치와 모양은 평균유효구속압에 주로 영향을 받으므로 본 연구에서는 이 영향요소 및 최대전단탄성계수를 이용하여 변형을 증가에 의한 전단탄성계수 감소를 산정할 수 있는 방정식을 형성하였다. 최대전단탄성계수가 측정되면 제안된 식을 이용하여 특정 변형을 및 구속압에서 감소된 전단탄성계수를 산출할 수 있을 것이다.

Rock salt is a near-perfect material for gas storage repositories due to its excellent ductility and low permeability. Gas storage in rock salt layers during gas injection and gas production causes the stress redistribution surrounding the cavity. The triaxial cyclic loading and unloading tests for rock salt were performed in this paper. The elastic-plastic deformation behaviour of rock salt under cyclic loading was observed. Rock salt experienced strain hardening during the initial loading, and the irreversible deformation was large under low stress station, meanwhile the residual stress became larger along with the increase of deviatoric stress. Confining pressure had a significant effect on the unloading modulus for the variation of mechanical parameters. Based on the theory of elastic-plastic damage mechanics, the evolution of damage during cyclic loading and unloading under various confining pressure was described.

최근 고도로 조절된 상태 에서 비틀림 단순 전단 실험 과 공진주 실험을 함께 수행할 수 있는 실험 장치가 The University of Tezas at Austin(미국)에서 개발되었다. 본 고에서는 이 실험장치를 이용하여 고 변형률 진동을 되풀이 해서 받은 깨끗한 모래의 동적 특성을 실험적으로 살펴보았다. 그 결과 고 변형률 진동을 되풀이 해서 받을수록,모래의 저 변형률 전단 탄성계수는 간극비의 변화가 없이 점진적으로 증가 되었으며, 구속 압력에 대한 체적 변화 또한 원시 시료의 그것보다 줄어드는 경 향을 나타내었다. 또한 구속 압력 에 대한 전단 탄성계수의 변화도 원시 시료의 그것보 다 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과들은 이론적 결과들과도 잘 일치하는 현상을 나타내었다.
