This paper investigates the development of failure surfaces induced by an embankment on soft marine clay deposits and the characteristics of such surfaces through numerical simulations and its comparative study with monitoring results. It is well known that the factor of safety of embankment slopes is closely related to the vertical loading, including the height of the embankment. That is, an increase in the embankment height reduces the factor of safety. However, few studies have examined the relationship between the lateral movement of soft soil beneath the embankment and the factor of safety. In addition, no study has investigated the distribution of the pore pressure coefficient B value along the failure surface. This paper conducts a continuum analysis using finite difference methods to characterize the development of failure surfaces during embankment construction on soft marine clay deposits. The results of the continuum analysis for failure surfaces, stress, displacement, and the factor of safety can be used for the management of embankment construction. In failure mechanism, it has been validated that a large shear displacement causes change of stress and pore pressure along the failure surface. In addition, the pore pressure coefficient B value decreases along the failure surface as the embankment height increases. This means that the rate of change in stress is higher than that in pore pressure.

The initial condition of $\Delta \sigma_3 \;=\; \Delta u$ is used for analyzing the time dependent behavior of ground. This is based on the concept that the coefficient of pore water B is the unity on the condition of saturation. but some measured consolidation data in the field showed that the pore water pressure was not dissipated as time elapsed but it was maintained constant value or it's dissipation rate was slower than that of the predicted. and so the measured data of pore water pressure was not consistent with that of settlement. In this study, the rheological model for the pore water pressure behavior on undrained condition was induced and compared with the experiment data of the literature. The result showed that the suggested model was consistent well with the result of experiment, but the suggested model could not explain the effect of the decrease of void ratio according to consolidation.

On the basis of Hoek-Brown failure criterion, a numerical solution for the shape of collapsing block in the rectangular cavity subjected to seepage forces is obtained by upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The seepage forces obtained from the gradient of excess pore pressure distribution are taken as external loadings in the limit analysis, and the pore pressure is easily calculated with pore pressure coefficient. Thus the seepage force is incorporated into the upper bound analysis as a work rate of external force. The upper solution of the shape of collapsing block is derived by virtue of variational calculation. In order to verify the validity of the method proposed in the paper, the result when the pore pressure coefficient equals zero, and only hydrostatic pressure is taken into consideration, is compared with that of previous work. The results show good effectiveness in calculating the collapsing block shape subjected to seepage forces. The influence of parameters on the failure mechanisms is investigated.

Reports about coefficients of consolidation in horizontal direction of marine clays located at seven different sites on western and southern coast area in Korea were reviewed and characteristics of them were investigated. As results of analyses, for relation between the depth of ground and coefficients, any trend and correlation between them can not be found since they are more influenced by the nature of geological formation rather than the depth of ground. Dissipation time t50, one of important factors in estimating value of coefficient of consolidation in horizontal direction, was found to be quite related to them. For the correlation between the maximum pore pressure developed and coefficients, coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction tend to decrease with increase of the maximum pore pressure whereas the ground water level or static pore pressure do not have any specific correlation with those coefficients. Values of coefficient tends to increase with values of liquid limit, plastic limit and plastic index and thus they are found to be directly influenced by the contents of fines. Values of coefficient of consolidation in horizontal direction are also increased with increases of permeability in horizontal direction and coefficient of consolidation in vertical direction. They were highly correlated between coefficient of consolidation and permeability in horizontal direction while values of coefficient of consolidation in horizontal direction have a relatively low correlation with values of coefficient of consolidation in horizontal direction. Sometimes, coefficient of consolidation in horizontal direction obtained from field tests were estimated 2-3 times greater than those from laboratory tests.

사질토의 액상화에 대한 저항 강도는 포화도에 상당히 의존한다. 압축파 속도는 현장에서 쉽게 측정이 가능하고 포화도의 영향을 크게 받기 때문에 현장 지반의 포화도를 예측하고자 할 때 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시료의 포화가 가능하고 전단파, 압축파 속도 측정 및 비배수 상태에서 비틂전단 시험을 수행시 유발되는 과잉간극수압을 측정할 수 있는 비틂전단 시험기를 개발하였다. 토요라 모래에 대해 전단파, 압축파 속도 측정이 수행되고, 비배수 비틂전단 시험을 실시하였다. 포화도(B값)에 따른 시료의 전단파 속도 및 압축파 속도를 이론식과 비교하여 개발된 시험기를 검증하였으며, 여러 B값에서 비배수 TS 시험동안 유발되는 과잉 간극수압의 변화를 측정 분석하였다.

사질토의 액상화에 대한 저항강도는 포화도를 나타내는 B값(간극수압계수)에 크게 의존한다. P파 속도($V_p$)는 현장에서 비교적 쉽게 측정이 이루어지고 B값에 따라 값이 크게 변하기 때문에 지하수위 아래에 위치한 지반의 포화도를 예측하고자 할 때 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 포화가 가능하도록 개선된 Stokoe식 비틂전단(Torsional Shear, TS) 시험 시스템에 벤더엘리먼트(BE)와 가속도계를 부착하여 동일한 시험시편에 대하여 S파와 P파 속도를 측정할 수 있도록 하였고, 또한 비배수 비틂전단 시험에서 유발되는 과잉간극수압을 동시에 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 일본의 토요라 모래를 사용하였고, 3가지 상대밀도(40%, 50%, 75%)에서 B값을 달리하여 비틂전단 시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과를 바탕으로 B값에 따른 S파 속도와 P파 속도를 기존의 이론식과 비교 분석하였고, 반복하중에 의한 과잉간극수압의 증가 및 이를 이용하여 획득한 반복한계 전단변형률의 B값에 대한 영향을 평가하였다. 또한 추후 현장에서 B값이 고려된 간극수압 및 반복한계 전단변형률의 직접적인 예측을 위해, 시험이 수행된 각 B값을 대응하는 P파 속도로 변환하여 분석하였다.

천연가스 공급배관내의 이물질을 제거하기 위하여 한국가스공사에서는 현재 250um 공극 크기를 갖는 금속 스트레이너형의 필터를 사용하고 있다. 하지만 배관내의 이물질 크기를 조사한 결과 필터 공극 크기보다 작은 이물질이 상당량 있는 것으로 파악되었으며. 따라서 이들 이물질로 인하여 필터 후단부의 각종 밸브류나 계 량 측정 기기들에 악영향을 미치고 있는 실정이다. 미세한 크기의 이물질들을 없애기 위해서는 필터의 공극 크기를 줄여야 하는데. 이 경우에는 필터 전, 후단의 차압발생으로 인하여 원하는 유량의 가스를 공급하기 어려운 일이 생길 수 있으므로 차압발생을 신중히 고려하여 필터 공극 크기를 결정하여야한다. 본 연구에서는 손실계수 K를 이용하여 가스필터의 성능평가 방법을 제시하였다.

This paper is results of investigating the dominant factors influencing to coefficient of consolidation in horizontal direction of Korean marine clays and their correlations through literature review. From the results of analyzing data obtained from field tests such as piezocone penetration and dilatometer tests as well as laboratory tests, coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction was found to increase with increase of stiffness index of soil while it decreases with the increase of dissipation time of pore pressure developed during field tests. In general, the coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction tends to increase with increase of undrained shear strength and preconsolidation pressure although correlation between them are relatively low. Friction ratio has a high correlation with coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction in case of friction ratio being greater than 1.0. For methods of estimating coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction with different testing device, values obtained from methods of P2-logt and DMT-A with dilatometer were quite similar to values from piezocone penetration test. Consistency of soil is quite proportional to coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction. Clear correlation between coefficients of consolidation in the horizontal and the vertical directions could not be found. coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction estimated from the results of field test tends to be 1.13~3.11 times greater than that obtained from laboratory tests.

동축형 전단 분사기의 액적분포 균일도 및 혼합성능을 개선하기 위해 고안한 액체로켓 엔진용 동축형 다공성 분사기의 개발에 앞서 다공성재를 분사기에 적용하기 위해 다공성재를 통과하는 압축성 유체의 압력강하 특성을 파악하였다. Non-Darcy 유동의 압력강하는 점성력과 관성력으로 인한 손실을 포함하는 Forchheimer 방정식을 이용하여 도출할 수 있으며, 이 때 다공성재의 형상인자인 투과율과 관성력의 영향을 나타내는 Ergun 상수를 이용하여 다공성재를 통과하는 압축성 유체의 압력강하를 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다공성재의 압력강하 특성을 나타내는 투과율와 Ergun 상수를 작동유체의 압력강하에 대한 함수로 나타내었으며, 최종적으로 이를 일반화하여 pore의 크기에 따라 압력강하를 예측할 수 있는 관계식을 도출하였다.
