본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 분포하는 모래와 실트를 대상으로 실트 함유량에 따른 모래의 비배수 반복전단강도 특성을 파악하기 위하여 이방압밀비($K_c$=1.0, 1.5, 2.0)를 달리하여 일련의 비배수 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 모든 $K_c$에서 실트 함유량이 증가함에 따라 반복전단응력비(CSR)가 감소하였으며, $K_c$가 증가할수록 실트 함유량 증가에 의한 CSR의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다. 전단시 발생되는 과잉간극수압은 $K_c$에 관계없이 실트 함유량 증가에 따라 초기 과잉간극수압이 크게 발생되어 CSR의 감소에 영향을 미쳤으며, 또한 압밀 후 시료의 skeleton 간극비를 산정하여 분석한 결과 실트 함유량 증가에 비례하여 전반적으로 skeleton 간극비가 크게 증가하여 초기 과잉간극수압의 증가와 더블어 CSR 감소의 주요원인으로 파악되었다.

본 연구는 경남해안지역 연약점토의 토질특성과 압축지수와의 관계를 알아보기 위해 김해지역 82개소, 진해지역 18개소, 거제지역 27개소의 불교란 상태의 시료를 채취하여 물성실험 및 역학실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 경남해안지역 연약점토의 압축지수는 Terzaghi & Peck이 제안한 경험식을 적용할 수 없음을 알 수 있었다. 경남 해안지역 연약점토의 압축지수는 자연함수비, 액성한계, 초기간극비와 상관성이 있었으며, 이들 중 압축지수는 초 기간극비와 상관성이 가장 컸다.

관입시험은 한정된 범위에서 1차원적 정보를 얻을 수 있으나, N치는 다양한 지반설계정수와 실험적으로 연관되어 있다. 탄성파를 이용한 비파괴 검사는 역산 과정을 통해 비용 및 시간에 효율적으로 2차원 및 3차원 물성에 대한 지도를 얻을 수 있으며, N치와 탄성파 속도는 간극비, 포화도, 유효응력 등에 의해 좌우된다. 따라서 N치와 탄성파 속도간의 경험적 관계들이 제안되어 왔다. 본 연구는 다양한 간극비와 포화도를 갖는 주문진사에 대해 정지토압조건에서 탄성파를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 그 결과 하중 조건이 간극비 및 포화도에 비하여 가장 영향을 주는 요소로 나타났으며, 간극비와 포화도는 응력-속도 관계의 경향에 영향을 주었다. 각 영향인자간의 관계를 다중회귀분석을 통해 상관식으로 나타내었다.

Measurement or prediction of compression index (C_c) of soils is essential for assessment of total and differential settlement of structures. It is a well-known fact that this parameter is controlled by several index identifiers of soil including initial void ratio, Atterberg limits, overconsolidation ratio, specific gravity, etc. Many studies in the past proposed relationships for prediction of C_c based on different index properties. Therefore, this study aims to present a comparison of previously proposed equations for estimation of C_c. Data from literature was compiled, and a total of 90 and 623 test results on remolded and undisturbed specimens were used to question the validity of previously proposed equations. Nevertheless, the modeling ability of 7 and 12 equations for estimation of C_c of remolded and undisturbed soils were questioned by use of compiled data. Moreover, new empirical relationships based on initial void ratio and toughness limit for prediction of C_c was proposed by use of nonlinear multivariable regression and evolutionary based regression analyses. The results are promising-the performances of models established are quite acceptable, which are verified by statistical analyses.

Membrane penetration is the most important factor influencing the measurement of volume change for triaxial consolidated-drained shear test for coarse-grained soil. The effective pressure p, average particle size $d_{50}$, thickness $t_m$ and elastic modulus $E_m$ of membrane, contact area between membrane and soil $A_m$ as well as the initial void ratio e are the major factors influencing membrane penetration. According to the membrane deformation model given by Kramer and Sivaneswaran, an analytical solution of the membrane penetration considering the initial void ratio is deduced using the energy conservation law. The basic equations from theory of plates and shells and the elastic mechanics are employed during the derivation. To verify the presented solution, isotropic consolidation tests of a coarse-grained soil are performed by using the method of embedding different diameter of iron rods in the triaxial samples, and volume changes due to membrane penetration are obtained. The predictions from presented solution and previous analytical solutions are compared with the test results. It is found that the prediction from presented analytical solution agrees well with the test results.

To predict the consolidation behavior of dredged and reclaimed marine clays exhibiting consolidation settlement with large strains, the finite strain consolidation theory must be used. However, challenges in appropriately applying the theory and determining input parameters make design and analysis studies difficult. To address these challenges, design charts for predicting the consolidation settlement of reclaimed marine clays are developed by a numerical approach based on the finite strain consolidation theory. To prepare the design charts, a sensitivity analysis of parameters is performed, and influencing parameters, such as initial void ratio and initial height, as well as the non-linear constitutive void ratio-effective stresspermeability relation, are confirmed. Six representative Korean marine clays obtained from different locations with different liquid limits are used. The design charts for estimating the consolidation times corresponding to various degrees of consolidation are proposed for each of the six representative clays. The consolidation settlements predicted from the design charts are compared to those in previous studies and at an actual construction site and are found to agree well with them. The proposed design charts can therefore be used to solve problems related to the consolidation of reclaimed marine clays having large strains.

This thesis is to investigate the one-dimensional consolidation behavior of soft marine clay with uniform surcharges by perfoming numerical and experimental works. Parametric experimental works of centrifuge model test were carried out changing test conditions of gravitational level in centrifuge, magnitude of surcharges and construction sequence of applying surcharges. Results of centrifuge model experiments were analyzed by using the numerical technique of explicit finite difference method based on the finite strain consolidation theory, being known to be appropriate to analyze the consolidational behavior of soft clay with a very high initial void ratio using the Lagrangian and the material coordinate systems. Test results were in relatively good agreements with analyzed results in terms of excess pore pressure dissipation and consolidation settlement with time and final void ratio distribution.

A numerical study was performed to investigate characteristics of one-dimensional consolidation of soft clay. Results of consolidation tests with the remolded normally consolidation clay of having a very high initial void ratio were analyzed by using the numerical technique of finite difference method based on the finite strain consolidation theory, to evaluate consolidational characteristics of soft clay under surcharges on the top of clay. On the other hand, a numerical parametric study on soft clay consolidated due to its self-weight was also carried out to find its effect on one-dimensional consolidation. Terzaghi's conventional consolidation theory, finite strain consolidation theories with linear and non-linear interpolation of effective stress - void ratio - permeability relation were used to analyze the test results and their results were compared to each other to figure out the difference between them. Therefore, the validity of theories was assessed.

Shear wave velocities of three selected sandy soils subject to drained triaxial compression test were continuously measured using the bender elements. The shear wave velocity during isotropic compression, as widely recognized, increased as confining pressure increased and they were correlated well. However, during drained shearing, the mean effective stress could no further provide a suitable correlation. The shear wave velocity during this stage was almost constant with respect to the mean effective stress. The vertical stress was found to be more favorable at this stage (since confining stress was kept constant). When sample was attained its peak stress, the shear wave velocity reduced and deviated from the previously existed trend line. This was probably caused by the non-uniformity induced by the formation of shear band. Subsequently, void ratios computed based on external measurements could not provide reasonable fitting to the initial stage of post-peak shear wave velocity. At very large strain levels after shear band formation, the digital images revealed that sample may internally re-arrange itself to be in a more uniform loose stage. This final stage void ratio estimated based on the proposed correlation derived during pre-peak state was close to the value of the maximum void ratio.
