Nonlinear cross-anisotropic properties of soil is critical for exact numerical simulation. Theoretically, initial cross-anisotropic properties can be evaluated from triaxial tests with bender element tests, and nonlinear cross-anisotropic properties over initial strain level cannot be evaluated from triaxial tests. In this study, a supposed condition among nonlinear cross-anisotropic properties is suggested to calculate nonlinear cross-anisotropic properties from triaxial tests. Maximum strain and incremental strain energy are applied to combine triaxial test results and theoretical normalized shear modulus curve, respectively Based on combined results, nonlinear cross-anisotropic properties are calculated. Numerical simulation for triaxial tests Is carried out to verify the applicability of the supposed condition with calculated cross-anisotropic properties and simplified nonlinear cross-anisotropic model.

The three-dimensional strength behavior of compacted decomposed granite soil was studied using cubical triaxial tests with independent control of the three principal stresses. All specimens were loaded under conditions of principal stress direction fixed and aligned with the directions of compacted plane. For comparable test conditions, the major principal strain and volume strain to failure were smallest when the major principal stress acted perpendicular to the compacted plane. The opposite extremes were obtained when the major principal stress acted parallel to the compacted plane. In cubical triaxial tests with same b values and with ${\theta}$ values in one of three sectors of the octahedral plane, independent of the range of ${\theta}$, higher friction angles are obtained in tests with b greater than in triaxial compression tests in which b 0.0, Comparison between the results of the drained cubical triaxial tests on lksan compacted decomposed granite soil and the cross section of the Mohr-Coulomb failure surface as well as the cross section of the Mohr-Coulomb failure surface were made. Lade's isotropic failure criterion based on vertical specimens overestimates the strengths for tests performed with values of 0 between 90˚ and 1 50˚ the Mohr-Coulomb criterion generally underestimates the strengths of tests performed with values of ${\theta}$ between $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$ except around the $120^{\circ}$.

Solutions of geotechnical engineering problems require predictions of deformation and stresses during various stages of loading. Powerful numerical methods are available to make such predictions even for complicated problems. To get accurate results, realistic stress-strain relationships of soils are dependent on a number of factors such as soil type, density, stress level and stress path. Attempts are continuously being made to develope analytical models for soils incorporating all such factors. Isotropic compression-expansion test and a series of drained conventional triaxial tests with several stress path for Baekma river sand were performed to investigate stress-strain and volume change characteristics of Lade's single work hardening model dependant on the stress path. In order to predicted of stress-strain and volumetric strain behavior were determined the values of parameters for the mode by the computer program based on the regression analysis. Predicted stress-strain behavior of triaxial compression tests and optional stress path tests for increasing confining pressure with parameters obtained conventional triaxial compression tests agreed with several test results but the prediction results for decreasing confining pressure reduced triaxial compression tests make a little difference with test results.

Triaxial tests are essential to estimate the shear strength properties of the soil or rock. Normally triaxial tests are carried out on samples of 38 mm diameter and 76 mm height. Granular materials, predominantly used in base/sub-base construction of pavements or in railways have size range of 60-75 mm. Determination of shear strength parameters of those materials can be made possible only through triaxial tests on large diameter samples. This paper describes a large diameter cyclic triaxial testing facility set up in the Geotechnical Engineering lab of Indian Institute of Science. This setup consists of 100 kN capacity dynamic loading frame, which facilitates testing of samples of up to 300 mm diameter and 600 mm height. The loading ram can be actuated up to a maximum frequency of 10 Hz, with maximum amplitude of 100 mm. The setup is capable of carrying out static as well as dynamic triaxial tests under isotropic, anisotropic conditions with a maximum confining pressure of 1 MPa. Working with this setup is a difficult task because of the size of the sample. In this paper, a detailed discussion on the various problems encountered during the initial testing using the equipment, the ideas and solutions adopted to solve them are presented. Pilot experiments on granular sub-base material of 53 mm down size are also presented.

This study investigated the shear and CBR characteristics of dredge soil-bottom ash-waste tire powder-mixed lightweight soil, which was developed to recycle dredged soil, bottom ash, and waste tire powder. Test specimens were prepared with various contents of waste tire powder ranging from 0 to 100% at 50% intervals by the weight of the dry dredged soil. Several series of triaxial compression tests and CBR tests were conducted. The shear strength characteristics of the lightweight soil were compared using two different shear tests (triaxial compression test and direct shear test). The experimental results indicated that the internal friction angle of the lightweight soil obtained by the direct shear tests was greater than that by the triaxial shear tests. However, the cohesion value obtained by the triaxial shear tests was greater than that by the direct shear tests. The CBR value of the lightweight soil decreased from 35% to 15% as waste tire powder content increased.

실험실에서 재 성형한 정규압밀점토에 대하여 실시된 일련의 삼축압축시험 거동결과를 등방단일경화구성모델에 의한 예측치와 비교검토한다. 이 모델사용에 필요한 열한개의 계수는 등방압밀공시체에 대한 비배수삼축압축시험 결과로부터 간단히 결정된다. 이렇게 결정된 계수를 활용한 이 모델로 이방압밀공시체를 대상으로 한 비배수삼축압축시험시의 응력-변형률 및 간극 수압의 거동이 예측된다. 또한 등방압밀공시체 및 이방압밀공시체를 대상으로 실시한 배수삼축 압축시의 응력-변형률 및 체적변형률 거동예측에도 이 모델을 적용하였다. 예측치와 시험치의 비교결과 비배수삼축압축시험의 경우는 등방압밀공시체와 이방압밀공시체 모두에 좋은 일치를 보이고 있다. 그러나 배수삼축압축시험의 경우는 초기 체적변형률의 예측치가 시험치보다 약간 작게 나타나다가 파괴점에 근접함에 따라서는 예측치가 시험치보다 커지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 그러나 전반적인 응력 -변형률거동은 좋은 일치를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구결과 이 모델은 정규압밀점토의 거동예측에 적용성이 충분히 있다고 생각된다.

한 개의 공시체에 대해 일정한 크기의 높은 구속압력을 가하고, 단계별로 압밀배수시간을 조정하여 압밀비배수 삼축압축시헙을 할 수 있는 방법을 이 논문에서 제안하였다. 이 방법으로 시험하면 하나의 공시체로 여러 단계의 시험을 하여 강도정수를 구할 수 있음은 물론 시험시간이 종전의 다단계시험에 비해 현저히 절약된다. 이 시험에 대한 적합성을 증명하기 위하여 불교란 시료와 재성형시료에 대해 표준압축시험과 재래의 다단계시험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 여기서 제안하는 시험방법으로 결정된 강도정수는 다른 시험방법으로 얻은 강도정수와 잘 일치하였으며, 이 방법이 대단히 효과적이고 실용적이라는 것을 입증하였다.

In this study, the load distribution and deformation of rock-socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial load are investigated based on small scale model tests. In order to analyze the effects of major influencing factors of end bearing capacity, Hoek-cell triaxial tests were performed. From the test results, it was found that the initial slope of end bearing load transfer (q-w) curve was highly dependent on rock mass modulus and pile diameter, while the ultimate unit toe resistance ($q_{max}$) was influenced by rock mass modulus and the spacing of discontinuities. End bearing load transfer function of drilled shafts socketed in rock was proposed based on the Hoek-cell triaxial test results and the field loading tests which were performed on granite and gneiss in South Korea. Through the comparison with pile load tests, it is found that the load-transfer curve by the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by field loading tests, and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of load transfer of drilled shaft.

It has been recognized unsaturated soil behaviour playing an important role in geomechanics. Up to now, only a few experimental data are available for the technical difficulties related to both volume changes and suction measurements. In this study, the volume changes of unsaturated compacted silty soil were monitored with proximeter (i.e. non-contactable transducer) during various triaxial compression tests, which gave a realistic estimation in the volume changes of unsaturated soil sample. Various triaxial compression tests for unsaturated soil under different drainage conditions are carried out. The behaviour of the pore pressure, namely, the pore-air pressure and the pore-water pressure, and matric suction during the shearing tests are investigated. The experimental results have revealed that the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil can be significantly affected by the matric suction.

댐이나 항만 건설시 재료로 사용되는 조립재는 입자크기가 일반 토사에 비해 매우 크기 때문에 이러한 재료에 대해서 전단시험을 수행할 때에는 가급적 대형 전단시험장치를 사용하는 것이 보다 정확한 결과를 얻기 위해 바람직하다. 대형 전단시험장치로는 일반적으로 대형 직접전단시험장치와 대형 삼축압축시험장치가 있으나 일반 토질시험장치와 비교해 제작과 보급, 운영 등의 어려움 때문에 현재까지 국내에서 두 시험장치를 사용하여 시험을 수행한 실적은 많지 않은 편이다. 본 연구에서는 댐 축조재로 사용되는 입경이 큰 조립재료를 대상으로 시료의 평균 입자크기와 공시체 크기, 연직응력(구속압) 조건 등에 차이가 있는 총 6개 case에 대해서 대형 직접전단시험과 대형 삼축압축시험을 수행하고 두 시험간 전단강도 특성의 차이를 비교하였다. Mohr-Coulomb 강도규준에 의한 전단강도를 기준으로, 대형 직접전단시험을 통해 산정된 전단강도가 대형 삼축압축시험을 통해 산정된 전단강도보다 전체적으로 크게 나타났으며 또한, 1,000kPa 수직응력에 대해 두 시험간 산정된 전단강도를 비교한 결과 대형 직접전단시험에 의한 전단강도가 대형 삼축압축시험에 의한 전단강도보다 약 10~70% 크게 나타나 입경이 작은 일반 토사와 비교해 그 차이가 크고, 대형 직접전단시험결과의 분산도가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다.
