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.

The results of an experimental program regarding the effects of gradation on shear strength and volume change behavior of silty sands are presented. Consolidated drained direct shear tests were performed on two clean base sands and twelve silty sands obtained by mixing those base sands with two different non-plastic silts at various fines contents (${\leq}$ 25%). Drained shear strengths were observed to be not significantly influenced by either base sand gradation or silt gradation or fines content for the studied range. Increasing fines content has increased the volumetric contraction of specimens at similar void ratio. However, the amount of increase in volumetric contraction of silty sands were found to be affected by silt gradation when other influencing factors such as fines content, base sand gradation and mineralogy were kept the same. Moreover, the amount of increase in volumetric contraction of silty sands were also found to be affected by base sand gradation when other influencing factors such as fines content, silt gradation and mineralogy were kept the same.

Many aspects of the behavior of sands are affected by the content of non-plastic fine particles and these various aspects should be included in a constitutive model for the soil behavior. The fines content affects maximum and minimum void ratios, compressibility, shear strength, and static liquefaction under undrained conditions. Twenty-eight undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on mixtures of sand and fine particles with fines contents of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, and 100% to study the effects of fines on void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. The experiments were performed at low consolidation pressures at which liquefaction may occur in near-surface, natural deposits. The presence of fines creates a particle structure in the soil that is highly compressible, enhancing the potential for liquefaction, and the fines also alter the basic stress-strain and volume change behavior, which should be modeled to predict the occurrence of static liquefaction in the field. The void ratio at which liquefaction occurs for each sand/fines mixture was determined, and the variation of compressibility with void ratio was determined for each mixture. This allowed a relation to be determined between fines content, void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. Such relations may vary from sand to sand, but the present results are believed to indicate the trend in such relations.

본 논문에서는 모래-실트 혼합토의 압력수준별 전단특성을 파악하기 위해 모래가 골격구조를이루는 세립분 함유율의 시료를 이용하여 저압 및 고압 삼축압축시험을 수행했다. 시험조건으로 세립분 함유율(0%, 9.8%, 14.7%, 19.6%), 공시체의 밀도(다짐에너지 $22kJ/m^3$, $504kJ/m^3$), 구속압(100kPa, 1MPa, 3MPa, 5MPa) 등을 변화시켜가며 각 조건에서 비소성 실트가 혼합토의 전단강도와 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. 시험 결과, 모래의 골격구조에서 세립분 구조로 전환되는 전환 세립분 함유율은 구속압이 높을수록 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다. 구속압력이 높은 고압영역에서의 전단 특성은 구속압이 높을수록 조립자의 파쇄로 인하여 조밀한 모래에서도 느슨한 모래와 같은 경화, 수축거동을 나타내고 세립분 함유율이 증가함에 따라 전단강도 또한 증가하였다. 이러한, 비소성 실트가 혼합토의 전단특성에 미치는 영향은 실트도 모래와 같은 입상체이므로 소성점토 혼합토와는 상이한 거동을 나타냄을 알았다.

Understanding the behavior of soil under cyclic loading conditions is essential for assessing its response to seismic events and potential liquefaction. This study investigates the effect of non-plastic fines content (FC) on excess pore pressure generation in medium-density sand-silt mixtures subjected to strain-controlled cyclic direct simple shear (CDSS) tests. The investigation is conducted by analyzing excess pore pressure (EPP) ratios and the number of cycles to liquefaction (Ncyc-liq) under varying shear strain levels and FC values. The study uses Jumunjin sand and silica silt with FC values ranging from 0% to 40% and shear strain levels of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1.0%. The findings indicate that the EPP ratio increases rapidly during loading cycles, with higher shear strain levels generating more EPP and requiring fewer cycles to reach liquefaction. At 1.0% and 0.5% shear strain levels, FC has a limited effect on Ncyc-liq. However, at a lower shear strain level of 0.2%, increasing FC from 0 to 10% reduces Ncyc-liq from 42 to 27, and as FC increases further, Ncyc-liq also increases. In summary, this study provides valuable insights into the behavior of soil under cyclic loading conditions. It highlights the significance of shear strain levels and FC values in excess pore pressure generation and liquefaction susceptibility.

본 논문에서는 혼합토의 역학적 특성을 해명하기 위한 기초연구로 모래와 비소성 실트로 구성된 혼합토를 대상으로 모래가 골격구조의 주체를 이루는 범위 안에서 다양한 세립분함유율로 조성된 공시체를 제작하였다. 모래입자의 파쇄가 발생하는 고압영역의 등방압축실험을 수행하기 위하여 고압삼축시험기를 이용하여 혼합토의 압축특성 및 파쇄에 대한 영향을 조사했다. 시험 결과, 모래의 압축특성은 입자파쇄가 발생함에 따라 항복에 도달한 뒤에는 1개의 NCL에 수렴하는 경향을 나타낸다. 한편, 혼합토의 압축특성은 세립분함유율이 증가함에 따라 조립자가 세립분에 의해 둘러싸여 쿠션작용에 의해, 조립자가 파쇄를 일으키기 어려워지므로 압축곡선의 최대경사가 완만해지고 항복응력 또한 증가함을 알 수 있다.

The effect of non-plastic fines (silt) on liquefaction and pore pressure generation characteristics of saturated sands was studied through undrained stress controlled cyclic triaxial tests using cylindrical specimens of size 50 mm diameter and height 100 mm at different cyclic stress ratios and at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. The tests were carried out in the laboratory adopting various measures of sample density through various approaches namely gross void ratio approach, relative density approach, sand skeleton void ratio approach, and interfine void ratio approach. The limiting silt content and the relative density of a specimen were found to influence the undrained cyclic response of sand-silt mixtures to a great extent. Undrained cyclic response was observed to be independent of silt content at very high relative densities. However, the presence of fines significantly influenced this response of loose to medium dense specimens. Combined analyses of cyclic resistance have been done using the entire data collected from all the approaches.

지반의 액상화에 관한 연구는 대부분 깨끗한 모래를 대상으로 실시되었다. 하지만 실제 현장 지반이나 매립지는 깨끗한 모래만으로 이루어진 경우보다 실트나 점토와 같은 세립분을 포함한 상태로 존재하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이와 같은 현장 지반조건을 고려하기 위하여 사질토 지반 내에 포함된 세립분이 액상화에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 다수 수행되었으나, 대부분의 연구가 실트와 같은 비소성 세립분을 포함한 경우이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 낙동강모래에 소성지수가 8, 18, 50, 377인 저소성 실트에서 고소성 점토질 세립분을 10% 함유한 공시체에 대하여 비배수 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 습윤 시료를 저다짐방법으로 느슨한 상태, 중간 상태, 조밀한 상태로 성형하였으며, 각각의 공시체에 세 종류의 반복전단응력을 가하였다. 세립분의 양은 동일하지만 공시체에 포함된 점토와 같은 소성 세립분의 소성지수가 높아질수록 액상화 저항강도는 전반적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 한편, 공시체의 상대밀도가 느슨한 경우에는 세립분의 소성지수에 따른 액상화 저항강도 차이가 크지 않았으나, 조밀한 경우에는 세립분의 소성지수가 증가함에 따라 액상화 저항강도가 최대 40%까지 감소하였다.

When marine clay is hydraulically dredged from seabed and pumped into the pond enclosed by contatinment dykes, marine clay is mixed and flocculated with water and then settled. At this time, the fines will interact with the water to form a Bingham plastic slurry which has non-Newtonian characteristics. The dredged slurry has different physical properties depending on settling locations and settling depths in the pond and has few hundred percent of water content and almost nil of shear strenght. In order to make this condition of the dredged slurry the final formation for public use within a short period, sand spreading method to enhance the support capacity of the dredged slurry is developed. In this paper, the effect of sand mixing into the dredged slurry of this method is analyzed based on reference study, laboratory tests and actual construction results.

It is very important to utilize effectively fibrous waste paper in terms of cost savings, environmental effects, and governmental policies. The quality of final products and runnability of papermaking process are primarily affected by constitutions of fibrous raw materials. In specific, board grade paper depends directly on compositions of waste paper bales. At present, the raw materials of board grade paper are mainly derived from lots kinds of wastepaper. Some papermaking countries, like EU, USA and Japan have advanced classification and management systems of recycled fiber, but Korea has not yet organized systematically. In this study, evaluation of wastepaper bale compositions and their fiber properties were carried out for effective utilization of fibrous raw materials for board grade paper production. 3 kinds of wastepaper bales were classified to fibrous or non-fibrous materials. In case of fibrous materials, KOCC, kraft sack paper and white duplex board matters were main component in total weight basis, and in case of non-fibrous materials, vinyl, plastic and cloth matters were main component, in turns. 3 representative kinds of waste paper were disintegrated and classified, and then prepared to handsheet for evaluation of recycled fiber property. Consequently, fines and ash content of waste paper, isolated from KOCC and white duplex board were higher than that of kraft sack paper. pH values of all kinds of waste fibers were neutral or weak alkaline.
