A three-dimensional elastoplastic constitutive model, also known as a UH model (Yao et al. 2009), was developed to describe the stress-strain relationship for normally consolidated and over-consolidated soils. In this paper, an acoustic tensor and discriminator of bifurcation for the UH model are derived for the strain localization of saturated clays under undrained and fully and partially drained conditions. Analytical analysis is performed to illustrate the points of bifurcation for the UH model with different three-dimensional stress paths. Numerical analyses of cubic specimens for the bifurcation of saturated clays under undrained and fully and partially drained conditions are conducted using ABAQUS with the UH model. Analytical and numerical analyses show the similar bifurcation behaviour of overconsolidated clays in three-dimensional stress states and various drainage conditions. The results of analytical and numerical analyses show that (1) the occurrence of bifurcation is dependent on the stress path and drainage condition; and (2) bifurcation can appear in either a strain-hardening or strain-softening regime.

본 논문에서는 전 논문에서 개발되었으나 검증을 필요로 한 간단한 전단속도 의존적 구성모델을 유명한 보스톤블루 점토를 대상으로 엄격하게 수행된 비등방 삼축압축시험 결과를 활용하여 검증하였다. 검증은 전단속도 0.05%hr, 0.5%/hr, 5.0%hr 및 OCR=1, 2, 4, 8 경우에 있어서 수행되었다. 연구결과, 개발된 모델은 OCR=4, 8 경우 등 심한 과압밀 경우에는 변형율 완화, 비배수강도 등 응력-변형율 예측에 있어 개선이 필요한 것으로 보였으나, OCR=1, 2 등 정규압밀 또는 약간 과압밀 경우에는 비교적 신뢰도 높게 응력-변형을 관계를 예측하여, 그 활용도를 기대할 수 있겠다.

The use of sand-tire chip mixtures in construction industry is a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach that addresses both waste tire disposal and soil improvement needs. However, the addition of tire chip particles to natural soils decreases maximum shear modulus (G_max), but increases compressibility, which can be potential drawbacks. This study examines the effect of overconsolidation stress history on the maximum shear modulus (G_max) of rigid-soft mixtures with varying size ratios (SR) and tire chip contents (TC) by measuring the wave velocity through a 1-D compression test during loading and unloading. The results demonstrate that the G_max of tested mixtures in the normally consolidated state increased with increasing SR and decreasing TC. However, the tested mixtures with a smaller SR exhibited a greater increase in G_max during unloading because of the active pore-filling behavior of the smaller rubber particles and the consequent increased connectivity between sand particles. The SR-dependent impact of the overconsolidation stress history on G_max was verified using the ratio between the swelling and compression indices. Most importantly, this study reveals that the excessive settlement and lower G_max of rigid-soft mixtures can be overcome by introducing an overconsolidated state in sand-tire chip mixtures with low TC.

Decomposed granite soils are in a wide range of conditions depending on the degrees of weathering. This paper is intended to examine laboratory tests such as consolidation tests and conventional triaxial compression tests conducted in order to find out the mechanical properties of Cheongju granite soil. Along with the foregoing, the results of basic physical tests conducted in order to grasp the physical properties of Cheongju granite soil were described and based on the results, methods to calculate the mechanical parameters of numerical approaches using Lade's double surface work-hardening constitutive model were examined. Finally, it is intended to explain the stress properties of Cheongju granite soil used as a geotechnical material based on its shear behavior and critical state concept using the results of isotropic consolidation tests and triaxial compression tests. As a conclusion, it can be seen that in the relationship between confining stress and maximum deviator stress, the slope is maintained at a constant value of 2.95. In the drained CTC test, maximum deviator stress generally existed in a range of axial strain of 6~8% and larger dilatancy phenomena appeared when confining stress was smaller. Finally, based on the results of the CTC tests on Cheongju granite soil, although axial strain, deviator stress and pore water pressure showed mechanical properties similar to those of overconsolidated soil, Cheongju granite soil showed behavior similar to that of normally consolidated soil in terms of volumetric strain.

대변형을 고려한 유한요소법을 이용하여 flat DMT의 3차원 관입을 모사하였다. 상용 프로그램으로 널리 알려진 ABAQUS/Explicit를 이용하여 flat DMT의 3차원 관입 해석을 수행하였으며 관입 도중에 발생되는 큰 요소 변형을 해결하기 위하여 adaptive meshing 기법을 도입하였다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로, flat DMT 시험방법으로부터 얻어지는 3가지 지수 중에 하나인 수평응력지수($K_{D}$)와 지반 설계 정수인 비배수 전단강도 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 $K_{D}=2$ 정규압밀지반에서는 Marchetti(1980)가 제안한 경험적 상관관계식과, $K_{D}$가 2이상으로 모사되는 과압밀지반에서는 Kamei & Iwasaki(1995)가 제안한 경험적 상관관계식과 잘 일치하는 결과를 제공하였다.
