현장지반의 공학적 특성을 파악하기 위한 콘 관입시험(Cone Penetration Test; CPT)은 원지반의 연속적인 강도 특성을 분석하여 다양한 지반변수를 손쉽게 획득할 수 있다는 점에서 널리 활용되고 있으며, 원심모형실험에서도 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원심모형실험에서 콘선단저항치를 계측할 수 있는 직경이 10 mm인 소형 콘을 개발하고 원심모형실험에서의 적용성을 평가하였다. 개발된 콘으로 4자유도 로봇을 활용하여 원심모형 가속 상태에서 콘 관입시험을 수행하였다. 이 때, 원심가속도 수준을 4회 변화시켜 다양한 유효응력상태에서 콘 관입시험을 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 얕은 관입깊이의 동일한 유효응력에서 콘 선단저항치는 g-level에 영향을 받으며, 선단저항치가 임계 깊이 도달하는 깊이는 g-level과 상대밀도가 커질수록 깊어짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 각 실험에서 임계 깊이에 도달한 선단저항치와 실내실험에서 획득한 지반물성을 이용하여 기존 경험식과 비교하였다.

In geotechnical engineering, the mechanical characteristics of soil, the main material of geotechnical engineering, is highly related to the confining stress. Reduced-scale physical modeling is often conducted to evaluate the performance or to verify the behavior of the geotechnical systems. However, reduced-scale physical modeling cannot replicate the behavior of the full-scale prototype because the reduced-scale causes difference of self weight stress level. Geotechnical centrifuges are commonly used for physical model tests to compensate the model for the stress level. Physical modeling techniques using centrifuge are widely adopted in most of geotechnical engineering fields these days due to its various advantages. In this paper, fundamentals of geotechnical centrifuge modeling and its application area are explained. State-of-the-art geotechnical centrifuge equipment is also described as an example of KOCED geotechnical centrifuge facility at KAIST.

This paper is results of extensive centrifuge model experiments about design factors influencing the bearing capacity and the settlement behaviors of SCP (Sand Compaction Pile). Centrifuge model tests were carried out changing design factors for SCP method such as replacement area ratio (as= 20, 40, 70%), improvement ratio to footing width (W/B = 1, 2, 3), and amount of fines in sand pile (#200 = 5, 10, 15). Therefore, the effects of these design factors on the bearing capacity and the settlement behavior of SCP were investigated and changes of stress concentratio rato due to such an design factors were also investigated. Centrifuge model testing technique for preparing and installing centrifuge model of sand compaction pile, using freezing them, was also developed. As results of centrifuge model tests, more fines in sand compaction pile increases the bearing capacity of SCP. Optimum improvement ratio to footing width was found to be 2. Values of stress concentration ratio was in the ranges of 1.5 - 3.5. The depth of bulging in sand piles was found in the range of 2.0 - 2.5 times of pile diameter.

동일한 흙으로 조성된 모형지반에 대하여 1-g 모형실험과 원심모형실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 원형지반은 10m 두께의 수평하고 느슨한 포화 사질토 지반으로 가정하였다. 1-g 모형실험은 1/20 축소모형, 원심모형실험은 1/40 축소모형을 이용하였다. 원심모형실험의 경우 점성유체를 사용하여 동적시간에 대한 상사비와 과잉간극수압소산시간에 대한 상사비가 동일하도록 하였다. 원심모형실험의 계측결과는 원형지반의 거동으로 가정하였다. 그리고, 1-g모형실험에 정상상태개념 및 두 가지 시간상사비 등을 적용하여 원형지반의 거동을 모사하고자 하였다. 동일한 위치에서의 과잉간극수압, 지반가속도 그리고 지표 침하량 등을 계측하여 비교하였다. 실험결과 지반의 투수계수가 작아서 진동 중 과잉간극수압 소산의 영향이 작고, 소산시간상사비를 적절하게 결정하면 1-g 모형실험으로부터 원형지반의 과잉간극수압 거동을 모사할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) is one of the important issues in the seismic design for evaluating the exact behavior of the system. A seismic design of a structure can be more precise and economical, provided that the effect of SFSI is properly taken into account. In this study, a series of the dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to compare the seismic response of the single degree of freedom(SDOF) structure on the various types of the foundation. The shallow and pile foundations were made up of diverse mass and different conjunctive condition, respectively. The test specimen consisted of dry sand deposit, foundation, and SDOF structure in a centrifuge box. Several types of earthquake motions were sequentially applied to the test specimen from weak to strong intensity of them, which is known as a stage test. Results from the centrifuge tests showed that the seismic responses of the SDOF structure on the shallow foundation and disconnected pile foundation decreased by the foundation rocking. On the other hand, those on the connected pile foundation gradually increased with intensity of input motion. The allowable displacement of the foundation under the strong earthquake, the shallow and the disconnected pile foundation, have an advantage in dissipating the earthquake energy for the seismic design.

모래를 이용한 해안퇴적층 캡핑은 오염원의 이동을 줄일 수 있는 하나의 방법이다. 캡핑 설계시 자중에 의한 캡 자체의 압밀과 새로 추가된 캡층에 의한 퇴적층의 압밀을 반드시 고려해야만 한다. 이를 위해 원심모형시험기를 이용한 모형실험이 실시되었다. 이 연구에서는 실험의 정확성을 알아보기 위해 모델을 다시 모델링 하는 방법이 이용되었다. 즉, 똑 같은 경계 조건에서 서로 다른 중력가속도를 가지고 실험이 실시 되었다. 두 실험의 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 캡이 설치된 해안퇴적층의 압밀침하 거동을 원심모형실험을 이용하여 예측이 가능함을 알 수 있다.

The centrifuge model test is usually used for two-dimensional deformation and instability study of the soil slopes. As a typical loose slope, the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill is easy to slide with large deformation, under high water levels or large earthquakes. A series of centrifuge model tests of landfill slide induced by rising water level and earthquake were carried out. The particle image velocimetry (PIV), laser displacement transducer (LDT) and marker tracer (MT) methods were used to measure the deformation of the landfill under different centrifugal accelerations, water levels and earthquake magnitudes. The PIV method realized the observation of continuous deformation of the landfill model, and its results were consistent with those by LDT, which had higher precision than the MT method. The deformation of the landfill was mainly vertically downward and increased linearly with the rising centrifugal acceleration. When the water level rose, the horizontal deformation of the landfill developed gradually due to the seepage, and a global slide surface formed when the critical water level was reached. The seismic deformation of the landfill was mainly vertical at a low water level, but significant horizontal deformation occurred under a high water level. The results of the tests and analyses verified the applicability of PIV in the two-dimensional deformation measurement in the centrifuge model tests of the MSW landfill, and provide an important basis for revealing the instability mechanism of landfills under extreme hydraulic and seismic conditions.

Caisson-type structures are widely used as quay walls in coastal areas. In Korea, for a long time, many caisson-type quay walls have been constructed with a low front water depth. These facilities can no longer meet the requirements of current development. This study developed a new technology for deepening existing caisson-type quay walls using grouting and rubble mound excavation to economically reuse them. With this technology, quay walls could be renovated by injecting grout into the rubble mound beneath the front toe of the caisson to secure its structure. Subsequently, a portion of the rubble mound was excavated to increase the front water depth. This paper reports the results of an investigation of the seismic behavior of a renovated quay wall in comparison to that of an existing quay wall using centrifuge tests and numerical simulations. Two centrifuge model tests at a scale of 1/120 were conducted on the quay walls before and after renovation. During the experiments, the displacements, accelerations, and earth pressures were measured under five consecutive earthquake input motions with increasing magnitudes. In addition, systematic numerical analyses of the centrifuge model tests were also conducted with the PLAXIS 2D finite element (FE) program using a nonlinear elastoplastic constitutive model. The displacements of the caisson, response accelerations, deformed shape of the quay wall, and earth pressures were investigated in detail based on a comparison of the numerical and experimental results. The results demonstrated that the motion of the caisson changed after renovation, and its displacement decreased significantly. The comparison between the FE models and centrifuge test results showed good agreement. This indicated that renovation was technically feasible, and it could be considered to study further by testbed before applying in practice.

CFRD 형식의 댐 건설이 증가함에 따라 CFRD 거동에 대한 보다 정확한 분석 및 평가가 필요하게 되었다. 수위 변화에 따른 댐 거동은 댐 설계자와 관리자의 주요 관심사이지만, 국내의 경우 관련 연구가 충분히 진행되지 않아 아직도 많은 경우 국외 사례에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 차수벽 강성이 서로 다른 세 가지 원심모형실험을 통해 수위변화에 따른 CFRD 거동을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 원심모형실험은 국내에서 운영 중인 D댐의 1/2크기의 원형으로 수행되었으며, 모형 준비, 설계, 모형 구축, 계측기 설치, 실험 절차를 상세히 제시하였다. 콘크리트 차수벽은 3 종류의 유리섬유판을 통해 모사하였으며, 비행 중 수위조절을 위한 특별히 장치를 고안하였다. 국내 외 댐 계측사례를 수집 정리하여 본 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하였으며, 그 결과 본 원심모형실험은 실제 댐 거동을 비교적 높은 정확도로 모사하였음을 확인하였다.
