본 논문은 삼축압축시험(CD)과 개선된 직접전단시험 결과 얻어진 불포화토의 전단특성을 비교분석하여 새로이 개선된 직접전단시험장비의 실용성을 검증하였다. 2010년 경기도 양평군 토석류 발생사면에서 채취한 시료를 대상으로 불포화토 상태의 전단강도실험을 수행하였다. 다른 두 종류의 실험방법에서 낮은 모관흡수력이 작용하는 경우는 전단강도와 선형적인 관계를 나타내며, 모관흡수력의 증가함에 따라 불포화토의 겉보기 점착력 역시 선형적으로 증가하였다. 다른 두 실험장비에 의한 결과를 비교한 결과, 산정된 불포화토의 강도정수($c^{\prime}$, ${\phi}^b$)는 전단 상자의 구속효과가 있는 개선된 직접전단시험에서 다소 크게 나타났다.

Based on an estimating method for post-cyclic strength and stiffness with cyclic triaxial tests, Direct Simple Shear (DSS) tests were carried out to confirm whether the method can be adapted to DSS test on fine-grained soils: silty clay, plastic silt, and non-plastic silt. Results from post-cyclic DSS tests were interpreted by a modified method as adopted for post-cyclic triaxial tests. In particular, influence of plasticity index for fine-grained soils was emphasised. Findings obtained from the present study are: (i) the higher the plasticity index of fine-grained soils is, the less not stiffness ratio but strength ratio decreases with increment of a normalised excess pore water pressure; and (ii) post-cyclic strength and stiffness results from DSS tests agree well with those predicted by the method modified from a procedure used for triaxial test results.

The pre-peak cyclic shear mechanism of two-order asperity degradation of rock joints in the direct shear tests with static constant normal loads (CNL) are investigated using experimental and numerical methods. The laboratory testing rock specimens contains the idealized and regular two-order triangular-shaped asperities, which represent the specific geometrical conditions of natural and irregular waviness and unevenness of rock joint surfaces, in the pre-peak cyclic shear tests. Three different shear failure patterns of two-order triangular-shaped rock joints can be found in the experiments at constant horizontal shear velocity and various static constant normal loads in the direct and pre-peak cyclic shear tests. The discrete element method is adopted to simulate the pre-peak shear failure behaviors of rock joints with two-order triangular-shaped asperities. The rock joint interfaces are simulated using a modified smooth joint model, where microscopic scale slip surfaces are applied at contacts between discrete particles in the upper and lower rock blocks. Comparing the discrete numerical results with the experimental results, the microscopic bond particle model parameters are calibrated. Effects of cyclic shear loading amplitude, static constant normal loads and initial waviness asperity angles on the pre-peak cyclic shear failure behaviors of triangular-shaped rock joints are also numerically investigated.

When a nail pulled out in dense, granular soil, the soil in the vicinity of the nail tends to dilate, but its dilatancy results in a normal stress concentration at the soil/nail interface, thereby increasing the pull-out resistance of the inclusion. It is thought to be occurring within the resistance zone where the soil mass is at stationary state and the reinforcement are held in position by the soil, due to the friction or bond. In this paper, A series of direct shear and interface tests were conducted by using so called‘Constant Normal Stiffness Test Apparatus’which was modified and improved from the conventional direct shear box test rig. Unlikely the normal shear box test, this enables to simulate the different constraint effects of surrounding soil during shear under the conditions of constant stress and volume, constant normal stiffness. The aim of the research programme is to get better understanding of pull-out bond mechanism, thus to explore the possibility of evaluating the pull-out bond capacity of soil/reinforcement at the preliminary design stage from the laboratory test.

19개의 절리면에 대해 레이저 스캐너를 이용하여 형상을 측정한 후, 각 절리면의 30개 단면에 대하여 절리 거칠기 계수(Joint Roughness Coefficient)를 계산하였다. JRC 값은 단면의 위치에 따라 매우 큰 차이를 보이고 있으나 3개의 단면에서 측정된 JRC의 평균값은 절리면 전체의 JRC 평균값을 잘 대표할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 9개의 절리면에 대해서 석고를 이용한 복제 시료를 제작하여 절리면 전단시험을 실시하였다. 최대마찰각(${\phi}_p$)은 JRC의 평균값과 ${\phi}_p=41.037+1.046JRC$의 직선의 관계를 보인다. 그러나 절리면 전단시험에서 측정된 전단강도는 절리면에서 측정된 JRC의 평균값을 사용하여 Barton의 관계식에서 추정된 전단강도보다 상당한 오차를 보여, 절리면 전단시험에서 역산된 $JRC_R$과 JRC의 관계를 $JRC_R=f{\cdot}JRC$로 정의하고 회귀분석하여 수정계수 $f=3.15JRC^{-0.5}$를 도출하였고, 이 수정계수를 적용하여 Barton의 전단강도 관계식을 ${\tau}={\sigma}_n{\cdot}tan(3.15JRC^{0.5}{\bullet}{\log}_{10}\frac{JCS}{{\sigma}_n}+{\phi}_b)$로 수정하여 제안하였다. 이 관계식은 강도가 비교적 낮고 연성의 특성을 보이는 풍화암이나 연암의 절리면 전단강도 추정에 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

반복삼축시험에 의한 반복하중 후 강도 및 강성의 예측법을 이용하여, 세립토에 대해서 직접단순 전단시험에서도 그 방법의 사용 가능성을 확인하여 보았다. 사용한 흙은 실트질 점토, 소성 실트와 비소성 실트이다. 반복삼축시험을 통해서 얻은 강도 및 강성 예측법을 직접단순 전단시험에 맞게 수정하여 시험 결과와 비교하였다. 특히, 세립토의 소성지수와 초기전단응력(ISSS)의 영향이 강조되었다. 연구결과는 (i) 세립토의 액상화강도비는 소성지수의 감소와 초기전단응력의 증가에 따라 감소한다. (ii)등가강성과 전단변형률의 관계에 미치는 소성지수와 초기전단응력의 영향은 그리 크지 않다. (iii) 정규화한 과잉간극수압의 증가에 따른 강도비의 저하는 세립토의 소성지수가 증가할수록 느리다. (iv) 활성도가 큰 소성실트의 강성은 과잉간극 수압의 증가에 따라 급속히 감소한다. (v) 반복삼축시험 결과를 이용한 반복하중후 강도 및 강성의 예측법을 이용하여 직접단순 전단시험 결과에 수정한 방법은 시험결과와 잘 어울리는 것으로 나타났다.

PURPOSES : A geo-grid pavement, e.g., a stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), can be applied to an asphalt-overlay method on the existing surface-pavement layer for pavement maintenance related to reflection cracking. Reflection cracking can occur when a crack in the existing surface layer influences the overlay pavement. It can reduce the pavement life cycle and adversely affect traffic safety. Moreover, a failed overlay can reduce the economic value. In this regard, the objective of this study is to evaluate the bonding properties between the rigid pavement and a SAMI by using the direct shear test and the pull-off test. The predicted fractural energy functions with the shear stress were determined from a numerical analysis of the moving average method and the polynomial regression method. METHODS : In this research, the shear and pull-off tests were performed to evaluate the properties of mixtures constructed using no interlayer, a tack-coat, and SAMI with fabric and without fabric. The lower mixture parts (describing the existing pavement) were mixed using the 25-40-8 joint cement-concrete standard. The overlay layer was constructed especially using polymer-modified stone mastic asphalt (SMA) pavement. It was composed of an SMA aggregate gradation and applied as the modified agent. The sixth polynomial regression equation and the general moving average method were utilized to estimate the interlayer shear strength. These numerical analysis methods were also used to determine the predictive models for estimating the fracture energy. RESULTS : From the direct shear test and the pull-off test results, the mixture bonded using the tack-coat (applied as the interlayer between the overlay layer and the jointed cement concrete) had the strongest shear resistance and bonding strength. In contrast, the SAMI pavement without fiber has a strong need for fractural energy at failure. CONCLUSIONS : The effects of site-reflection cracking can be determined using the same tests on cored specimens. Further, an empirical-mechanical finite-element method (FEM) must be done to understand the appropriate SAMI application. In this regard, the FEM application analy pavement-design analysis using thesis and bonding property tests using cored specimens from public roads will be conducted in further research.

Adhesion in geotechnical engineering is the interaction between cohesive soil and a solid surface which can cause clogging in mechanized tunnelling through clayey formations. Normal piston pull out and modified direct shear tests were performed on clayey soil samples to determine which type of adhesion stress, normal or tangential, could be most effectively measured. Measured values for normal adhesion ranged from 0.9 to 18 kPa. The range of tangential adhesion was 2.4 to 10 kPa. The results indicate normal adhesion results were more accurate than those for the modified direct shear test that measure tangential adhesion. Direct shear test on identical samples did not show any correlation between measured cohesion and normal adhesion values. Normal adhesion values have shown significantly meaningful variation with consistency index and so are compatible with the base of field clogging assessment criteria. But tangential adhesion and cohesion were not compatible with these assessment criteria.

The coarse grained materials are used in various construction field such as express way back fill, Dam etc. Especially, for dam construction, a huge mount of rock fill materials are needed, so around domestic stony mountains are generally developed to produce materials. Not an accurate theory, but design criteria is based on empirical factors that were constructed in advance for design of dam especially Concrete Face Rockfill Dam(CFRD). Considering the post facts, the modified design criteria are essential in the future with more theoretical and experimental ways. In this study, large scale direct shear tests are performed with various relative density conditions on coarse grained material of Yecheon area to compare test results and general CFRD design factors.

The soil-concrete interface shear strength, although has been extensively studied, is still difficult to predict as a result of the dependence on many factors such as normal stresses, surface roughness, particle sizes, moisture contents, dilation angles of soils, etc. In this study, a well-known rigorous statistical learning approach, namely the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) realized in a ubiquitous spreadsheet platform is firstly used in estimating the soil-structure interface shear strength. Instead of studying the complicated mechanism, LS-SVM enables to explore the possible link between the fundamental factors and the interface shear strengths, via a sophisticated statistic approach. As a preliminary investigation, the authors study the expansive soils that are found extensively in most countries. To reduce the complexity, three major influential factors, e.g., initial moisture contents, initial dry densities and normal stresses of soils are taken into account in developing the LS-SVM models for the soil-concrete interface shear strengths. The predicted results by LS-SVM show reasonably good agreement with experimental data from direct shear tests.
