Gravelly soil is a kind of special geotechnical material, which is widely used in the subgrade engineering of railway, highway and airport. Its mechanical properties are very complex, and will greatly influence the stability of subgrade engineering. To investigate the mechanical properties and failure mechanism of gravelly soils, this paper introduced and verified a new discrete element method (DEM) of gravelly soils in large scale direct shear test, which considers the actual shape and broken characteristics of gravels. Then, the stress and strain characteristics, particle interaction, particle contact force, crack development and energy conversion in gravelly soils during the shear process were analyzed using this method. Moreover, the effects of gravel content (GC) on the mechanical properties and failure characteristics were discussed. The results reveal that as GC increases, the shear stress becomes more fluctuating, the peak shear stress increases, the volumetric strain tends to dilate, the average particle contact force increases, the cumulative number of cracks increases, and the shear failure plane becomes coarser. Higher GC will change the friction angle with a trend of "stability", "increase", and "stability". Differently, it affects the cohesion with a law of "increase", "stability" and "increase".

Millions of scrap tires are discarded annually in Turkey. The bulk of which are currently landfilled or stockpiled. These tires consume valuable landfill space or if improperly disposed, create a fire hazard and provide a prolific breeding ground for rats and mosquitoes. Used tires pose both a serious public and environmental health problem which means that economically feasible alternatives for scrap tire disposal must be found. Some of the current uses of scrap tires are tire-derived fuel, creating barrier reefs and as an asphalt additive in the form of crumb rubber. However, there is a much need for the development of additional uses for scrap tires. One development the creation of shreds from scrap tires that are coarse grained, free draining and have a low compacted density thus offering significant advantages for use as lightweight subgrade fill and backfill material. This paper reports a comprehensive laboratory study that was performed to evaluate the use of a shredded tire-sand mixture as a backfill material in trench conditions. A steel frame test tank with glass walls was created to replicate a classical trench section in field conditions. The results of the test demonstrated that shredded tires mixed with sand have a definite potential to be effectively used as backfill material for buried pipe installations.

The variable node plate bending element, ie, the element with one or two additional mid-side nodes is used in the analysis of mat foundation to generate the nearly ideal grid model in which more nodes are defined near the column location. The plate bending element used in this study is the one based on Mindlin/Reissner plate theory with substitute shear strain field and the nodal stresses of that element are obtained by the local smoothing technique. The interaction of the soil material with the mat foundation is modeled with Winkler springs connected to the nodal points in the mat model. The vertical stiffness of the soil material are represented in terms of a modulus of subgrade reaction and are computed in the same way as to the computation of consistent nodal force of uniform surface loading. Several mesh schemes were proposed and tested to find the most suitable scheme for mat foundation analysis.

본 연구에서는 산업부산물인 인산석고와 EPS 조각을 기존의 성토용 토사에 혼합하여 지반응력을 감소시킴으로써 고함수비로 준설매립된 공유수면 내 초연약지반의 침하, 활동파괴, 측방유동 등의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 경량혼합토를 개발하였다. 개발된 경량혼합토는 공유수면 매립지역에서 대량이용이 가능한 도로 및 교대의 성토재료, 각종 뒤채움재로의 사용에 대한 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 기본물성시험, 다짐시험, CBR시험, 전단강도시험 등 일련의 실내시험을 수행하였고 지반공학적 특성을 검토하였다. 시험결과, 경량혼합토의 최대건조단위중량은 $14.32{\sim}15.79kN/m^3$, 최적함수비는 21.91~24.23%로 일반 화강풍화토와 비교할 때 9.4~19.3%의 하중감소 효과가 있으며, 수정 CBR값은 10.4~18.4%로 국내 도로노상 및 뒤채움재에 대한 규정을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전단강도정수는 점착력 10.79~18.64kPa, 내부마찰각 $35.4{\sim}37.2^{\circ}$로 각각 나타나 국내에서 일반적으로 사용되는 성토재료 및 뒤채움재 범위를 충족시키는 것으로 평가되어 실제 성토재료 및 뒤채움재로 연약지반에서 효과적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 인산석고 경량혼합토는 하중감소 효과가 있으면서도 전단강도와 지지력면에서 큰 문제가 없어서 연약한 임해매립지반의 도로 노상토 및 뒤채움재로 사용될 수 있어 인산석고의 대량 재활용방안이 될 것으로 판단된다.

A single slab concrete pavement has been modeled and analyzed by ABAQUS program. The stress and displacement of the JCP slab under traffic load with frictionless contact interaction between slab and base calculated by ABAQUS program have been compared with the results obtained by KENSLABS program. The results of the stresses of the two modeling show similar tendency and the difference of the two modeling is very small however the results of the displacement of the two modeling show some dissimilarity. In order to analyze the effects of material and geometric properties on the responses of slab, some varying parameters were chosen as input for the modeling. The changing parameters include the thickness and elastic modulus of the concrete slab, the thickness and elastic modulus of base and the elastic modulus of the subgrade. The contact interaction between the slab and base layer had been also studied and different friction coefficient 0, 2.5, 6.6, 7.5, 8.9 had been used to simulate the different friction interface condition. The results of the analysis showed that the responses of the concrete slab vary with the material and geometric properties of the pavement structure and the slab-base friction condition.

This research provides insight on the laboratory investigation of the engineering properties of a lateritic soil modified with the mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes (MOFIC), which has a history of being used as an earthen plaster. The soil is classified, according to AASHTO classification system, as A-2-6(1). The Atterberg limits, compaction, permeability, California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength of the soil were determined for each of 0, 4, 8 and 12% addition of the MOFIC, by dry weight of the soil. The plasticity index, optimum moisture content, swell potential, unconfined compressive strength and permeability decreased while the soaked and unsoaked CBR increased, with increasing MOFIC contents. The engineering properties of the natural soil, which only satisfies standard requirements for use as subgrade material, became improved by the application of MOFIC such that it meets the standard requirements for use as sub-base material for road construction. The effects of MOFIC on the engineering properties of the soil resulted from bioclogging and biocementation processes. MOFIC is recommended for use as a modifier of the engineering properties of soils, especially those with similar characteristics to that of the soil used in this study, to be used as a pavement layer material. It is more economical and environment-friendly than conventional soil stabilizers or modifiers.

OBJECTIVES : The objective of this study is to analyze the nonlinear behavior of block pavements using multi-load level falling weight deflectometer (FWD) deflections. METHODS : Recently, block pavements are employed not only in sidewalks, but also in roadways. For the application of block pavements in roadways, the structural capacities of subbase and subgrade are important factors that support the carry traffic load. Multi-load level FWD testing was conducted on block pavements to analyze their nonlinear behavior. The deflection ratio due to the increase in load was analyzed to estimate the nonlinearity of block pavements. Finite element method with nonlinear soil model was applied to simulate the actual nonlinear behavior of the block pavement under different levels of load. RESULTS : The results of the FWD testing show that the center deflections in block pavements are approximately ten times greater than that in asphalt pavements. The deflection ratios of the block pavement due to the increase in the load range from 1.2 to 1.5, indicating that the deflection increased by 20~50%. The material coefficients of the nonlinear soil model were determined by comparing the measured deflections with the predicted deflections using the finite element method. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, the nonlinear behavior of block pavements was reviewed using multi-load level FWD testing. The deflection ratio proposed in this study can estimate the nonlinearity of block pavements. The use of nonlinear soil model in subbase and subgrade increases the accuracy of predicting deflections in finite element method.

하중전달효율은 다웰이 설치되었거나 설치되지 않은 콘크리트포장 줄눈의 구조적 성능을 나타내기 위해 사용된다. ABAQUS 소프트웨어를 사용한 줄눈 콘크리트장의 3차원 모형이 본 연구를 통하여 구축되었다. 기층과 노상이 접착되어 구성된 하부층 위에 3개의 슬래브가 놓였으며, 스프링 요소를 사용하여 인접한 슬래브를 줄눈에서 연결하였다. 콘크리트포장의 다양한 줄눈강성을 모사하기 위하여 다양한 값의 스프링 상수를 입력값으로 사용하여 그 관계를 조사하였으며, 스프링 상수가 커질수록 줄눈의 하중전달효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 슬래브와 기증의 다양한 탄성계수와 두께를 사용하여 슬래브의 거동과 하중전달효율에 미치는 재료물성과 기하학적 형상의 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 노상의 탄성계수는 기층의 탄성계수와 슬래브 및 기층의 두께보다 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 양 또는 영의 온도구배에서보다는 음의 온도구배에서 슬래브의 거동과 하중 전단효율이 더 민감 하게 변화하였으며, 낮은 강성의 줄눈은 슬래브의 온도구배에 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다.
