A flat-jointed bonded-particle model (BPM) has been proved to be an effective tool for simulating mechanical behaviours of intact rocks. However, the tedious and time-consuming calibration procedure imposes restrictions on its widespread application. In this study, a systematic approach is proposed for simplifying the calibration procedure. The initial relationships between the microscopic, constitutive parameters and macro-mechanical rock properties are firstly determined through dimensionless analysis. Then, sensitivity analyses and regression analyses are conducted to quantify the relationships, using results from numerical simulations. Finally, four examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed systematic approach for the calibration procedure of BPMs.

This paper developed an analytical software, called Simulation of Concrete Structures (SCS), which is used for numerical analysis of shear-critical prestressed steel fiber concrete structures. Based on the previous research at the University of Houston (UH), SCS has been derived from an object-oriented software framework called Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees). OpenSees was originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley. New module has been created for steel fiber concrete under prestress based on the constitutive relationships of this material developed at UH. This new material module has been integrated with the existing material modules in OpenSees. SCS thus developed has been used for predicting the behavior of the prestressed steel fiber concrete I-beams and Box-beams tested earlier in this research. The analysis could well predict the entire behavior of the beams including the elastic stiffness, yield point, post-yield stiffness, and maximum load for both web shear and flexure shear failure modes.

In recent years steel-concrete composite shear walls have been widely used in enormous high-rise buildings. Due to high strength and ductility, enhanced stiffness, stable cycle characteristics and large energy absorption, such walls can be adopted in the auxiliary building; surrounding the reactor containment structure of nuclear power plants to resist lateral forces induced by heavy winds and severe earthquakes. This paper demonstrates a set of nonlinear numerical studies on I-shaped composite steel-concrete shear walls of the nuclear power plants subjected to reverse cyclic loading. A three-dimensional finite element model is developed using ABAQUS by emphasizing on constitutive material modeling and element type to represent the real physical behavior of complex shear wall structures. The analysis escalates with parametric variation in steel thickness sandwiching the stipulated amount of concrete panels. Modeling details of structural components, contact conditions between steel and concrete, associated boundary conditions and constitutive relationships for the cyclic loading are explained. Later, the load versus displacement curves, peak load and ultimate strength values, hysteretic characteristics and deflection profiles are verified with experimental data. The convergence of the numerical outcomes has been discussed to conclude the remarks.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develope a constitutive model for the prediction of an unsaturated clayey soil and to confirm the application of the model. To this end a series of suction controlled isotropic and triaxial compression tests are conducted on clayey soils. Matric suction is controlled by the axis translation technique using high air entry ceramic disk. Total volume change, air and water volume changes are measured by the device made for the experiment. The specimens are compacted by dynamic compaction using a half of Proctor compaction energy with the water contents of 5% drier than the optimum moisture contents. From test results, volume changes and deviator stresses are analyzed at each state and their relationships are formulated. And the application of the model to clayey soils is confirmed by the comparison between test and predicted results. During drying-wetting and loading-unloading processes for isotropic states, the agreement between predicted and test results are satisfactory. And predicted deviator stresses are well agreed with the test results in shearing process, but volumetric strain is not well agreed with the test results in high suctions.

The weakening effect of water on rocks is one of the main factors inducing deformation and failure in rock engineering. To clarify this weakening effect, immersion tests and post-immersion triaxial compression tests were conducted on sandstone and mudstone. The results showed that the strength of water-immersed sandstone decreases with increasing immersion time, exhibiting an exponential relationship. Similarly, the strength of water-immersed mudstone decreases with increasing environmental humidity, also following an exponential relationship. Subsequently, a statistical damage model for water-weakened rocks was proposed, changes in elastic modulus to describe the weakening effect of water. The model effectively simulated the stress-strain relationships of water-affected sandstone and mudstone under compression. The R² values between the theoretical and experimental peak values ranged from 0.962 to 0.996, and the MAPE values fell between 3.589% and 9.166%, demonstrating the model's effectiveness and reliability. The damage process of water-saturated rocks corresponds to five stages: compaction stage - no damage, elastic stage - minor damage, crack development stage - rapid damage increase, post-peak residual stage - continuous damage increase, and sliding stage - damage completion. This study provides a foundational reference for researching the fracture characteristics of overlying strata during coal mining under complex hydrogeological conditions.

많은 포장구조 거동 모델은 입상재료의 거동을 묘사하는 구성방정식에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비행장 포장의 입상재료 기층의 거동 예측을 위하여, 체적응력(bulk stress)과 팔면체 전단응력(octahedral shear stress)의 함수로 표시된 구성모델이 제안되었다. 이 모델의 특징은 비선형거동을 정확히 예측할 수 있고, 모델상수를 간단히 구할 수 있으며 전단효과에 의한 회복탄성계수의 감소현상을 나타낼 수 있다. 실내시험을 통하여 입상재료의 비선행 회복탄성거동을 관찰하였으며, 제안된 모델을 입증하기 위해 회복탄성계수를 측정하였다. 체적응력과 축차응력이 회복탄성계수의 변화에 가장 주요한 변수임이 관찰되었으며, 실내시험 결과 제안된 모델식에 의한 회복탄성계수의 예측치가 실측치와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 제안된 모델식은 비행장 포장에서 일어날 수 있는 광범위한 응력조건하의 입상재료의 회복탄성거동을 잘 묘사할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

동반논문(오세붕, 2002)에서는 전체 변형도 영역의 거동을 모델할 수 있는 GUX( 구성모델을 ABAQUS 코드(Hibbit 등, 2001)에 구현하였다. 먼저 정확도 해석을 통하여 동반논문에서 구현한 내재적 응력적분 기법이 해의 정확도를 확보함을 알 수 있었다. GUX 모델은 전응력 개념에 의거한 비등방경화 탄소성 구성모델이므로 완전 배수 또는 비배수 삼축시힘시 응력-변형도 관계를 입력하여 대상문제를 배수 및 비배수조건에 따라 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반 및 풍화토 지반상 성토시 안정성 문제와 지반-말뚝계의 축하중 재하시 거동에 대한 예제 해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 대변형 해석을 통하여 기하학적 비선형성을 고려하였고 전체 변형도 거동을 합리적으로 모델하는 GUX 모델을 이용한 결과를 Mises 모델 결과와 비교하였다.

Currently in increasing number of urban tunnels with small overburden are excavated according to the principle of the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). Successful design, construction and maintenance of NATM tunnel in urban area demands prediction, control and monitoring of surface settlement, gradient and ground displacement with high accuracy. Use of measured displacement for parameter determination has been researched over the years, and one geotechnical engineering principle has been formed as back analysis. In this paper, back analysis of a ground deformational behavior involving nonlinear behavior is discussed. It is of primary importance to make reliable prediction of deformational behavior for shallow tunnels in soft ground. However, predictions made often prove to be incorrect due to complexity of constitutive law and other relevant factors. Back analysis therefore becomes more important, for it may be used to interpret measured displacement to derive nonlinear material characteristics. The paper shows some example in which a deformational mechanism is studied in the light of inhomogeneous distrubution of Young's module, from which a logic is derived to identify two different types of nonlinear constitutive relationships.

지반재료의 탄소성 구성 모델은 유연성과 안정성을 동시에 만족하여야 공학적으로 의미를 가지며 실용적으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 안정성이 있는 계수를 사용하는 수정 Cam-clay 모델을 근간으로, 한계상태 간격비를 계수로 도입하여 더욱 유연성이 있는 모델을 제안하였다. 한계상태 간격비는 추가적인 실험없이 간편하게 구할 수 있으며 특히 비배수 전단거동에 대하여 실용적으로 사용될 수 있다. 제안된 모델은 비 배수전단 삼축압축시험에 대하여 응력경로 및 응 력-변형률관계를 수정 Cam-clay 모델에 비하여 매우 정확하게 예측할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 전단변형률 속도, 크리프 및 응력이완의 영향을 고려할 수 있었다. 특히 실제의 상태경계면을 표현 탄성 -완전소성모델, 사용해야 삼축압축시험중 비 배수시험이 W W 삼축압축시험시 전단시험을 논문에서 해석한 점토질 지반의 거동에 대하여 관련유동칙을 따른다는 가정이 잘 적용되기 때문이라고 판단된다.
