내부구속중공 RC(Internally Confined Hollow RC, ICH RC) 기둥이란 중공 RC 기둥의 중공부에 내부튜브를 삽입하여 코어 콘크리트를 3축 구속 상태에 놓이게 하여 기둥의 강도와 연성도를 증가시킨 기둥이다. ICH RC 기둥의 구속응력에 대한 연구는 선행 연구자에 의하여 이루어 졌으나 외부 구속응력에 대한 연구만 진행된 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 중공 RC 기둥과 ICH RC 기둥의 구속응력을 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이론 구속응력과 외부 구속응력 그리고 내부 구속응력과의 관계를 도출하였으며, 이를 이용하여 기존의 내부 튜브 파괴조건식을 기반으로 수정 내부튜브 파괴 조건식을 제안하였다. 이론 구속응력과 내부 구속응력과의 관계를 회귀 분석식을 이용하여 나타내어 내부 구속응력을 쉽게 산정할 수 있다. 또한 수정 내부 튜브 파괴 조건식을 이용하여 ICH RC 기둥을 설계할 경우 동일 구속응력대비 기존의 파괴조건식보다 약 50%의 내부 튜브 두께를 감소할 수 있어 경제성을 확보하였다.

Gel-type biopolymers have recently been introduced as environmentally friendly soil binders and have shown substantial strengthening effects in laboratory experimental programs. Although the strengthening effects of biopolymer-treated sands have been verified in previous direct shear tests and uniaxial compression tests, there has been no attempt to examine shear behavior under different confining stress conditions. This study therefore aimed to investigate the strengthening effects of biopolymer-treated sand using laboratory triaxial testing with a focus on confining pressures. Three representative confining pressure conditions (${\sigma}_3=50kPa$, 100 kPa, and 200 kPa) were tested with varying biopolymer contents ($m_{bp}/m_s$) of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, respectively. Based on previous studies, it was assumed that biopolymer-treated sand is susceptible to hydraulic conditions, and therefore, the experiments were conducted in both a hydrated xanthan gum condition and a dehydrated xanthan gum condition. The results indicated that the shear resistance was substantially enhanced and there was a demonstrable increase in cohesion as well as the friction angle when the biopolymer film matrix was comprehensively developed. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the feasibility of the biopolymer treatment will remain valid under the confining pressure conditions used in this study because the resisting force of the biopolymer-treated soil was higher than that in the untreated condition, regardless of the confining pressure.

A discrete element approach is used to investigate the effects of confining stress on the shear behaviour of joint's bridge area. A punch-through shear test is used to model the concrete cracks under different shear and confining stresses. Assuming a plane strain condition, special rectangular models are prepared with dimension of $75mm{\times}100mm$. Within the specimen model and near its four corners, four equally spaced vertical notches of the same depths are provided so that the central portion of the model remains intact. The lengths of notches are 35 mm. and these models are sequentially subjected to different confining pressures ranging from 2.5 to 15 MPa. The axial load is applied to the punch through the central portion of the model. This testing and models show that the failure process is mostly governed by the confining pressure. The shear strengths of the specimens are related to the fracture pattern and failure mechanism of the discontinuities. The shear behaviour of discontinuities is related to the number of induced shear bands which are increased by increasing the confining pressure while the cracks propagation lengths are decreased. The failure stress and the crack initiation stress both are increased due to confining pressure increase. As a whole, the mechanisms of brittle shear failure changes to that of the progressive failure by increasing the confining pressure.

A suction-saturation control technique based on flow pump system was developed to investigate hydraulic properties in unsaturated soils. The flow pump system is designed based on the principle of the axis-translation technique and triaxial equipment, and gives the suction-time and suction-saturation curves, the primary relationship needed for interpreting the response of unsaturated soils and link between theory and the material properties in unsaturated soil mechanics. Using the suction-saturation control technique, suction-time relationship and soil-water retention curve (SWRC) during hydraulic hysteresis were investigated with different net confining pressures and porosities. Three types of soils-two sands and a silt were used in this paper. This paper showed the effect of the hysteresis on the SWRC due to different net confining pressures and porosities. This means that a careful decision must be made as to which condition is to be modeled, since the delicate difference of the conditions in physical modeling can cause the different experimental output.

As a critical material in very/high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, graphite material directly affects the safety of the reactor core structures. Owing to the complex structures of graphite material in reactors, the material typically undergoes complex stress states. It is, therefore, necessary to study its mechanical properties, failure modes, and strength criteria under complex stress states so as to provide guidance for the core structure design. In this study, compressive failure tests were performed for graphite material under the condition of different confining pressures, and the effects of confining pressure on the triaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus of graphite material were studied. More specifically, graphite material based on the fracture surfaces and fracture angles, the graphite specimens were found to exhibit four types of failure modes, i.e., tension failure, shear-tension failure, tension-shear failure and shear failure, with increasing confining pressure. In addition, the Mohr strength envelope of the graphite material was obtained, and different strength criteria were compared. It showed that the parabolic Mohr-Coulomb criterion is more suitable for the strength evaluation for the graphite material.

다축 응력 상태의 구속된 콘크리트는 구속되지 않은 콘크리트에 비해 강도가 크게 증가한다고 알려져 왔고, 많은 연구자들은 아직도 여러 분야에서 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 연구를 진행 중에 있다. 최근 FRP를 이용한 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있지만, FRP는 높은 강도에 비해 취성 재료여서 실제 구조물 적용에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 강도 및 연성을 갖는 강재로 구속된 콘크리트에 대하여 강재의 구속 강성이 콘크리트의 강도 증진 및 연성거동에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 51개의 시험체를 통해 비교 분석해 보았다. 이 실험을 통해 구속된 콘크리트의 강도 증진 효과 및 연성 거동이 뛰어나게 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 실험 결과를 회귀분석하여 구속 강성이 콘크리트 응력-변형률 곡선에 미치는 영향을 고려한 CSS(원형 강재 구속 시험체)와 R4S(사각형 이방향 강재 구속 시험체)에 대한 응력-변형률 모델을 제안하였다.

본 연구에서 삼축압축시험기를 이용하여 낙동강유역 모래에 대한 상대밀도, 전단변형어속도, 구속압력의 변화에 의한 전단강도 특성을 고찰하였다. 그리고 Lade 모델과 수정 Lade 모델의 결과는 실험에 의하여 비교하였다. 전단변형제어속도, 상대밀도 그리고 구속압력변화에 의한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 낙동강유역의 모래에 대해 Coulomb의 식을 이용할 수 있는 응력의 한계는 변형제어속도가 0.08%/min일 때 120~200 kpa이고 0.5%/min일 때 120~150 kpa의 범위로 고찰되었다. 이들 한계범위들은 석회질 모래나 양입도의 석영질 모래에 비해 적게 나타났다. 2) 변형제어속도와 상대밀도 모두가 Lade 모델과 수정 Lade 모델에 필요한 매개변수에 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 현장에서는 하중조건과 지반조건을 정확히 파악하여 적절한 매개변수를 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 3) 변형제어속도와 상대밀도의 변화에 따른 구성모델식에 의한 파괴시 주응력비는 전반적으로 변형제어속도에는 큰 영향을 받지 않으나, 상대밀도와 구속압력이 구성 모델식의 결과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 낙동강유역의 모래에 대한 응력-변형거동의 정확한 예측을 위해서는 다양한 조건에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 4) Lade 모델과 수정 Lade 모델에서 결정된 파괴시 주응력비와 파괴포락선의 내부마찰각을 실측치와 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 사용된 구속응력 범위내에서는 Lade 모델이 수정 Lade 모델보다 평균적으로 실측치에 더 근접함을 보여 주었다.

Rate-dependent mechanical response of sand, subjected to loading of medium to high strain rate range, is of interest for several civilian and military applications. Such rate-dependent response can vary significantly based on the initial density state of the sand, applied confining pressure, considered strain rate range, drainage condition and sand morphology. A numerical study has been carried out employing a recently proposed visco-plastic constitutive model to explore the rate-dependent mechanical behaviour of Toyoura sand under drained triaxial loading condition. The model parameters have been calibrated using the experimental data on Toyoura sand available in published literature. Under strain rates higher than a reference strain rate, the simulation results are found to be in good agreement with the experimentally observed characteristic shearing behaviour of sand, which includes increased shear strength, pronounced post-peak softening and suppressed compression. The rate-dependent response, subjected to intermediate strain rate range, has further been assessed in terms of enhancement of peak shear strength and peak friction angle over varying initial density and confining pressure. The simulation results indicate that the rate-induced strength increase is highest for the dense state and such strength enhancements remain nearly independent of the applied confinement level.

In this paper, the existing Stokoe type torsional shear equipment is modified to saturate the specimen and measure excess pore water pressure during undrained testing. Two types of sands, Geumgang and Toyoura sands, were collected and TS tests were performed at various densities drainage conditions, and confining pressures. The cyclic threshold shearing strains were estimated based on the variations of shear modulus, material damping ratio and pore pressures with loading cycles. The effects of relative density, confining pressure, and drainage condition on the cyclic threshold shearing strains were investigated.

In this study the confining pressure dependancy of internal friction angle of rock materials are discussed based on the results of a series of large triaxial tests under consolidated-drained condition. The rock materials tested are two kinds of grain-size distribution ;one is well graded, the other poorly graded(a uniform distribution). The obtained results shows that the internal friction angle of rock materials decreases more sharply in low stress level than in high stress level, and the test constants A and b in De Mello's failure criterion on rockfill materials are A =0.683∼l.584, b=0.712∼l.015 for the well graded and A=1.145∼l.523, b=0.788∼0.880 for the poorly graded.
