In this paper, the effects of nonlinear soft clay on dynamic embedment of offshore pipeline were investigated. Seabed embedment by pipe-soil interactions has impacts on the structural boundary conditions for various subsea structures such as pipeline, riser, pile, and many other systems. A number of studies have been performed to estimate real soil behavior, but their estimation of seabed embedment has not been fully identified and there are still many uncertainties. In this regards, comparison of embedment between field survey and existing empirical models has been performed to identify uncertainties and investigate the effect of nonlinear soil parameter on dynamic embedment. From the comparison, it is found that the dynamic embedment with installation effects based on nonlinear soil model have an influence on seabed embedment. Therefore, the pipe embedment under dynamic condition by nonlinear parameters of soil models was investigated by Dynamic Embedment Factor (DEF) concept, which is defined as the ratio of the dynamic and static embedment of pipeline, in order to overcome the gap between field embedment and currently used empirical and numerical formula. Although DEF through various researches is suggested, its range is too wide and it does not consider dynamic laying effect. It is difficult to find critical parameters that are affecting to the embedment result. Therefore, the study on dynamic embedment factor by soft clay parameters of nonlinear soil model was conducted and the sensitivity analyses about parameters of nonlinear soil model were performed as well. The tendency on dynamic embedment factor was found by conducting numerical analyses using OrcaFlex software. It is found that DEF was influenced by shear strength gradient than other factors. The obtained results will be useful to understand the pipe embedment on soft clay seabed for applying offshore pipeline designs such as on-bottom stability and free span analyses.

Purpose: Art program has been found to enhance mood such as increasing motivation, self-expression and decreasing depression in older adults. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of clay art and drawing on depression and self-expression among elderly people at a long-term care center. Methods: The research was a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent design. Sixty older patients (clay art program=28. Drawing art program=32) over the age of 65 were recruited from 2 long-term care hospitals to participate in the 5 weeks program. Each group was scheduled with 10,120-minute evaluation sessions, twice per week. Test measures were completed before and after the 5 week intervention period for all participants. The data was collected from April 27 to May 29, 2015. It was analyzed with SPSS 22.0 using chi-square, t-test and paired t-test. Results: There were no significant difference in the levels of depression (t=0.21, p=.830) and total score of self-expression (t=-0.10, p=.919) between the two groups. However, the pre-post scores of self-expression in the clay art program (t=0.22, p=.826) were improved compared to the drawing art program (t=0.80, p=.430). Conclusion: Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of clay art program for extended senior care applications.

본 광산에서는 견운모, 엽납석, 녹니석, 스멕타이트 등의 점토광물이 다량 산출되고 있다. 이들 광물의 산상 및 특성을 조사하여 광물의 형성과정을 고찰하였다. 본 광산의 도석은 견운모와 석영을 주성분으로 하는 것이 특징이다. 도석 중의 견운모는 주로 $2M-{1}$형이며, 석영은 수 미크론 이하의 미립의 것도 다량 포함된다. 또 도석에는 소량의 엽납석 및 백운모가 수반되기도 한다. 도석광상은 백악기층인 유문석영안산암 내에 배태되어 있고, 이 유문석영안산암을 관입한 석영반암의 인접부에 도석화된 부분이 많은 것으로 보아 석영반암의 관입에 의한 열수작용으로 유문석영안산암이 변질되어 도석광상이 형성된 것으로 사료된다. 본 도석광상의 도석화작용은 모암 내 성분의 용탈작용에 따라 장석과 녹니석이 분해되었고 이에 수반하여 견운모 및 석영의 침전이 일어났다. 변질암석 내에서 국부적으로 스멕타이트, 로먼타이트, 카오리나이트 등의 광물이 산출된다. 이들의 광물은 주 도석화작용의 이후에 형성되었다. 본 광산에서 변질암 내에 담홍색의 점토질물질로서 바이델라이트가 산출되는데 이는 특기할 만하다.

The settlement of embankment on soft clay includes shear settlement due to shear deformation. Even though the consolidation settlement is not related to lateral displacement, but shear settlement makes the embankment unstable because it deforms ground and decreases the ground strength. In order to determine the shear deformation behaviour during embankment construction, 3 cases (1B, 2B, and 3B) of rapid undrained loading tests on soft clays were performed. Shear settlement is consist of elastic settlement, plastic settlement and viscous settlement. Elastic settlement isn't considered because the range is small, therefore the first is the range of plastic displacement, and the second is that of viscous displacement in the displacement-time curve for each loading stage. After determining that the change in the inclination of the viscous displacement range is larger than in the plastic displacement range after the ground failure occurs for the loading stage, the stability management methods were suggested considering that it is hard to divide the plastic displacement range and the viscous displacement range. The stability management method was based on the ratio of the plastic displacement range's inclination and the viscous displacement range's inclination. A stability management method based on the ratio of the total inclination for each loading stage compared to the whole inclination in the initial loading stage was also recommended.

연약점토에 대한 실내시험으로부터 양호한 토질정수를 구하기 위해서는 시료교란의 영향을 최소화하여야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 시료채취기술 및 시료채취관에 따른 시료교란의 영향을 조사하기 위한 목적으로 낙동강 하구유역에 분포하고 있는 연약점성토를 대상으로 한ㆍ일 공동연구를 실시하였다. 양국의 시료채취기술에 의하여 채취된 시료에 대하여 일축압축시험과 압밀시험을 실시하여 토질정수 및 시료교란도를 비교하였다. 결과적으로, 한국에서 사용되고 있는 수압식 피스톤 샘플러를 사용하더라도 시료채취 전에 일본에서 실시하고 있는 방법대로 슬라임의 제거작업을 면밀히 수행할 경우에 시료의 품질이 명백하게 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 0.02%/min의 속도로 수행된 일정변형률(CRS) 압밀시험은 표준압밀시험에 비하여 시험방법의 차이 때문에 압밀정수의 증대 및 낮은 교란도를 나타내었다.

해안매립지와 같은 연약한 점토지반에 시공된 쇄석말뚝의 내진성능 평가를 위해 1g 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 개량전 후 지반의 동적응답특성을 비교하기 위해 가속도 증폭 및 시간에 따른 전단변형, 전단파 속도 등을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 쇄석말뚝으로 개량된 지반의 전단변형은 개량되지 않은 지반에 비해 감소되는 경향을 보이나, 단주기 지진파에는 더 높은 수준의 지반 가속도 증폭이 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 쇄석말뚝으로 개량된 지반의 내진성능 향상여부는 모형실험과 함께 지반응답해석 등의 수행하여 평가되어야 한다고 판단된다.

The sand compaction pile (SCP) method, which forms a composite ground by driving sand piles into clay deposit, is the most commonly used soil improvement techniques in many countries for more than 30 years. Installation of sand compaction piles reduces the amount of consolidation settlement and increases the bearing capacity of soft clay deposit. In this paper, field survey conducted to investigated the consolidation behavior of the composite ground improved by SCPs. It is suggested that the measured consolidation velocity is later than design theory, however measured consolidation settlement is higher than design theory.

베링해 알류샨 분지의 북부 사면지역에서 채취된 피스톤 코아 PC25A의 퇴적물에서 점토광물의 반정량적 함량 분석을 통해 지난 마지막 빙하기 동안 퇴적물의 기원지와 운송 경로의 변화를 살펴보았다. 코아 PC25A의 연대는 방산충 L. nipponica sakaii의 마지막 출현 시기($48.6{\pm}2\; ka$)와 인근 지역에서 채취한 연대가 잘 정립된 코아 PC23A의 퇴적물 색도($a^{\ast},\; b^{\ast}$) 및 퇴적 엽리층의 대비를 통해 설정되었다. 코아 PC25A의 최하단부가 약 57,600년 전으로 계산되었고, 코아 상부는 손실된 것으로 판단된다. 지난 마지막 빙하기 동안 스멕타이트, 일라이트, 캐올리나이트, 녹니석의 평균 함량은 각각 11% (5~24%), 47% (36~58%), 13% (9~19%), 29% (21~40%)이다. 코아 PC25A의 인근 지역에서 채취한 코아 MC24에서 분석된 홀로세의 점토광물 함량에 비하여 마지막 빙하기동안에 특징적으로 일라이트 함량이 증가하였고 스멕타이트 함량은 감소하였다. 따뜻한 기후의 홀로세 전기(Early Holocene) 동안 일라이트 함량이 높은 점토 퇴적물이 알라스카 대륙의 북부 지역(Province 1)으로부터 유입되는 융빙수에 의해 운반된 것으로 판단된다. MIS 2의 후빙기(B${\phi}$lling-All${\phi}$rod)동안에도 융빙수에 의해 점토광물이 운반되었으나, 일라이트 함량이 홀로 세 전기에 비해 낮기 때문에 북쪽의 Province 1보다는 남쪽에 위치한 Province 2와 Province 3에서 점토입자들이 기원된 것으로 해석된다. 마지막 최대 빙하기(Last Glacial Maximum)동안 나타나는 높은 스멕타이트 함량은 베링해 남동쪽 알라스카 반도 인근 지역(Province 4)에서 공급되는 점토 퇴적물의 양이 증가하였기 때문으로 보인다. MIS 3 초기에서 중기로 가면서 일라이트와 스멕타이트 함량이 감소하고, 녹니석의 함량은 증가하였다. MIS 3 동안 해수면이 낮아지면서 Province 2와 Province 3에서 점토 퇴적물의 공급이 증가한 것으로 보인다. 베링해 알류산 분지의 북부 사면지역에서 채취된 코아 PC25A에서 분석된 점토광물 조성의 변화는 마지막 빙하기동안 해수면의 하강으로 인하여 점토광물의 이동과 관련된 베링해의 표층 해류 순환이 현재와는 다른 양상으로 변화되었기 때문이다.

This paper investigates the effects of sports ground materials on the transfer characteristics of the landing impact force using a coupled foot-shoe-ground interaction model. The impact force resulting from the collision between the sports shoe and the ground is partially dissipated, but the remaining portion transfers to the human body via the lower extremity. However, since the landing impact force is strongly influenced by the sports ground material we consider four different sports grounds, asphalt, urethane, clay and wood. We use a fully coupled 3-D foot-shoe-ground interaction model and we construct the multi-layered composite ground models. Through the numerical simulation, the landing impact characteristics such as the ground reaction force (GRF), the acceleration transfer and the frequency response characteristics are investigated for four different sports grounds. It was found that the risk of injury, associated with the landing impact, was reduced as the ground material changes from asphalt to wood, from the fact that both the peak vertical acceleration and the central frequency monotonically decrease from asphalt to wood. As well, it was found that most of the impact acceleration and frequency was dissipated at the heel, then not much changed from the ankle to the knee.

This study examined the dynamic response of a subsea pipeline under an impact load to determine the effect of the seabed soil. A laboratory-scale soil-based pipeline impact test was carried out to investigate the pipeline deformation/strain as well as the interaction with the soil-pipeline. In addition, an impact test was simulated using the finite element technique, and the calculated strain was compared with the experimental results. During the simulation, the pipeline was described based on an elasto-plastic analysis, and the soil was modeled using the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The results obtained were compared with ASME D31.8, and the differences between the analysis results and the rules were specifically investigated. Modified ASME formulae were proposed to calculate the precise structural behavior of a subsea pipeline under an impact load when considering sand- and clay-based seabed soils.
