Relative density, used to express dynamics condition of sand quantitatively, is measured by RI Test, Standard Penetration Test and Cone Penetration Test. Each measurement method has demerits, which is complicated or needs a specific analysis instrument and an analysis of expert. Also the ground is in wet condition commonly because of an unsaturated zone between a saturated zone and a surface, so the behaviour of the ground has different engineering properties unlike the dry ground and it diminishes accuracy of measuring relative density. In this study, the correlation between relative density and penetration of fall cone test in dry condition and wet condition with variation of water content was analyzed and a simple measuring method for relative density was suggested. As a result, there were difference of penetration between dry sands and wet sands, the correlation between relative density and penetration showed linear expression and relative density could be measured by the linear relation.

국내 석산에서 생산되는 골재를 사용하여 대형삼축시험과 대형직접전단시험을 동시에 수행한 후 전단특성을 비교하였다. 비교를 위하여 시험조건을 가능한 일치시켰으며, 상대밀도를 50%, 70%, 90%의 세 가지로 변화시켜 시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 응력-변형률 거동은 두 가지 시험에서 동일하게 나타나며, 전단강도는 상대밀도의 크기에 따라 시험방법별로 추세가 달라진다. 즉, 낮은 상대밀도에서는 대형직접전단시험의 내부마찰각이 대형삼축압축시험 결과 값에 비하여 작게 나타나고, 높은 상대밀도에서는 이 현상이 역전됨을 확인하였다.

In order to study the effects of shell contents on the liquefaction resistance of the shelly sand, NGI cyclic simple shear tests were performed for the shelly sands with shell contents of 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% under the effective vertical stress of 50kPa, 100kPa and 150kPa for 40% and 55% of relative density, respectively. Cyclic simple shear test results showed that for the low effective vertical stress, liquefaction resistance increased rapidly with the increase of shell contents in both 40% and 55% relative density. On the other hand, for the high effective vertical stress, the liquefaction resistance increased slightly in 40% relative density whereas the resistance was almost same in 55% relative density. Liquefaction resistance decreased with increasing effective vertical stress for both 40% and 55% relative density. In the same effective vertical stress and shell contents, liquefaction resistance increased with the increase of relative density of sands.

The relative density seems to be important as a factor of controlling the physical properties in the case of cohesionless soil ground as sand. Therefore, the study is more important about the method for reappearing the same relative density when the specimen of shearing test is to be produced or the model test of ground is to be made. In this study, the apparatus making use of the multiple sieving pluviation method - one of the reappearance of relative density - could be made. Using this apparatus, tests were practiced varying the factors such as the size of sieve mesh and the number of sieve, the amount of falling discharge, the falling height etc. about the standard sand in Jumunjin and Hadong sand. When laboratory test is performed by the cohensionless soil , it presents the method for reappearing of the relative density in field.

This paper presents results km a series of model tests oil vertically loaded single piles to compare the behaviors of H and pipe piles under the same ground condition. The aims of this paper were to compare the bearing capacity of H-pile md pipe piles under in the same ground condition and to estimate the effect of gravity acceleration and relative soil density. Relative density of soil were made to be 40%, 80% and embedded length of pile on sand was increased by 10, 12, 14, 16 times of the diameter of pile, respectively. As a results of test series, allowable load of H-pile is from 6.4% to 18.2% larger than allowable load of pipe pile in relative density 80% and from 9.1% to 39.4% larger than allowable load of pipe pile in relative density 40%. As a results of numerical analysis, we were predicted behaviour of stress-displacement of pile with model test. In the case of relative density 80% and 40%, bearing capacity of H pile represent from 17.74% to 18.6% larger than allowable load of pipe pile.

Determination of geotechnical characteristics of soil is either to use the field samples to measure the characteristics of soil through laboratory test or measuring the characteristics directly in the field. Field test can be derived similar value by considering characteristics of site and laboratory test can be confirmed the characteristic of soil by testing with field samples. This article describes relative density as the measure of compaction for cohesionless soils and presents several simple and mathematical relationships to help engineers estimate needed parameters for relative density calculations. The main purpose of this research is to investigate possible correlations between coefficient of uniformity, coefficient of curvature, maximum and minimum void ratio, mean grain size. Results show a linear relationship between the minimum and maximum void ratios and a power function relationship between coefficient of uniformity and the limiting void ratios. Void ratio range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum void ratios, appeared to be log normally distributed but showed no simple mathematical fit to the data. these results were shown to help engineers estimate needed parameters for relative density calculations.

An elementary particle of bottom ash is similar to fine sand. So which expected from replace expensive sand. Therefore, this study conducts cyclic triaxial test and a resonant test using relative density, which is obtained from a relative density test of bottom ash and standard sand. Also, it compares antiseismic characteristics of bottom ash and standard sand in order to analyze the possibility of commercial use as a construction material.

Since behaviors of loose, dense, silty sands vary under seismic loading, understanding the liquefaction mechanism of sandy soils continues to be an important challenges of geotechnical earthquake engineering. In this study, 36 deformation controlled cyclic simple shear tests were performed and the liquefaction potential of the sands was investigated using three different relative densities (40, 55, 70%), four different effective stresses (25, 50, 100, 150 kPa) and three different shear strain amplitudes (2, 3.5, 5%) by using energy based approach. Experiments revealed the relationship between per unit volume dissipated energy with effective stress, relative density and shear strain. The dissipate energy per unit volume was much less affected by shear strain than effective stress and relative density. In other words, the dissipated energy is strongly dependent on relative density and effective stress. These results show that the dissipated energy per unit volume is very useful and may contain the non-uniform loading conditions of the earthquake spectrum. When multiple regression analysis is performed on experiment results, a relationship is proposed that gives liquefaction energy of sandy soils depending on relative density and effective stress parameters.

본 연구에서는 Bottom Ash와 표준사의 상대밀도시험을 실시하여 시험결과를 토대로 40%, 55%, 70%의 상대밀도로 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 또한, 55%의 상대밀도로 세립분 함유량에 따른 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 시료는 No.40체, No.60체, No.100체, No.200체 잔류시료로 분류를 하여 현장에서 시료의 다짐을 실시한 경우 발생될 수 있는 시료의 파쇄를 고려하여 Bottom Ash를 A다짐 몰드를 이용한 파쇄시험을 실시하였다. 각 체의 잔류시료의 파쇄특성을 고려하면 A다짐에 따른 파쇄율은 약 30%까지 증가하게 되어 세립분 함유량을 10%, 20%, 30%로 조정하여 상대밀도 시험을 실시하였다. 상대밀도에 따른 반복삼축시험을 통해 Bottom Ash의 액상화 저항특성을 분석하였다. 시험결과 Bottom Ash의 경우 파쇄강도가 표준사에 비해 작아 축차응력에 크기에 따라 기존 포화사질토와 상이한 액상화 거동특성을 보였으며, 시료의 세립분의 함유량에 따라 액상화 저항특성이 최대인 세립분 함유량을 찾을 수 있었다.

해안 연약지반 개량공사에 사용되는 모래는 대부분 다소간의 패각을 함유하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 패각 함유량이 패각질모래의 액상화 저항에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 중량비에 의해 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%의 패각을 함유한 모래의 입도를 조성하고 건조퇴적 방법으로 상대밀도가 40%와 55%인 공시체를 성형하여 50kPa, 100kPa, 150kPa의 압밀유효연직응력으로 NGI형 직접단순전단시험기를 이용해서 반복단순전단시험을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 압밀유효연직응력이 낮을 경우에는 상대밀도가 40%, 55% 모두 패각 함유량이 많아질수록 액상화강도가 크게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 압밀유효연직응력이 높을 경우에는 상대 밀도가 40%일 경우 약간 증가하는 경향을 얻었으나 상대밀도가 55%일 경우에는 거의 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 결과를 얻었다. 그리고 상대밀도에 관계없이 압밀유효연직응력이 증가하면 액상화 저항이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 같은 압밀유효연직응력과 패각함유량에서 상대밀도가 높아질수록 액상화강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
