Soft clay is widely distributed in the southeast coastal areas of China. Many large underground structures, such as subway stations and underground pipe corridors, are shallow buried in the soft clay foundation, so the dynamic characteristics of the soft clay must be considered to the seismic design of underground structures. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of saturated soft clay in Shanghai under the bidirectional excitation for earthquake loading are studied by dynamic triaxial tests, comparing the backbone curve and hysteretic curve of the saturated soft clay under different confining pressures with those under different vibration frequencies. Considering the coupling effects of the confining pressure and the vibration frequency, a fitting model of the maximum dynamic shear modulus was proposed by the multiple linear regression method. The M-D model was used to fit the variations of the dynamic shear modulus ratio with the shear strain. Based on the Chen model and the Park model, the effects of the consolidation confining pressure and the vibration frequency on the damping ratio were studied. The results can provide a reference to the earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in soft clay area.

본 연구에서는 비닐스트립-시멘트로 보강된 느슨한 중간 모래의 정규화 전단탄성계수 및 감쇠비 산정식을 제안하였다. 상대밀도 40%의 모래시편을 다양한 비닐스트립 혼합비(0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.4%)와 시멘트 혼합비(0, 1, 2%)로 보강한 후 15, 30, 60kPa의 구속압조건에서 수행한 공진주시험 자료(Yu, et al., 2018)를 분석하여 정규화 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비 산정식을 보강조건과 구속압조건의 함수로 제안하였다. 제안된 산정식을 적용한 결과와 시험결과를 비교한 결과 결정계수 0.9 이상의 높은 신뢰도를 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 산정식을 이용하면 비닐스트립-시멘트로 보강된 느슨한 중간모래의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비를 공진주시험 수행없이 간단히 산정할 수 있어 시간과 비용이 절감될 것으로 기대한다.

Lead-rubber bearings (LRBs) have been used worldwide in seismic design of buildings and bridges owing to their stable mechanical properties and good isolation effect. We have investigated the effectiveness of LRBs in framed underground structures on controlling structural seismic responses. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were carried out on the well-documented Daikai Station, which collapsed during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. Influences of strength ratio (ratio of yield strength of LRBs to yield strength of central column) and shear modulus of rubber on structural seismic responses were studied. As a displacement-based passive energy dissipation device, LRBs reduce dynamic internal forces of framed underground structures and improve their seismic performance. An optimal range of strength ratios was proposed for the case presented. Within this range, LRBs can dissipate maximum input earthquake energy. The maximum shear and moment of the central column can achieve more than 50% reduction, whereas the maximum shear displacement of LRBs is acceptable.

Because of the limited land in Korea most of the projects require large-scale reclamation. The hydraulic-filled soil deposits are usually loose and susceptible to be liquified during earthquake. The dynamic deformation characteristics which expressed by shear modulus and damping ratio are important to analyze the earthquake ground motion. In this paper resonant column tests were performed on five hydraulic filled soil in Korea and the deformational characteristics at both small and medium strains were investigated. The coefficients in the Hardin equation to predict the representative maximum shear modulus and modulus reduction cure are also proposed.

In this study, seismic analysis is performed using simplified method, analytical solution and numerical analysis based on one-dimensional seismic site response analysis. The results show that analytical solution of tunnel response is predicted more conservative than numerical solution. And simplified method is not appropriate for seismic analysis of tunnel response. In addition, it is reasonable to determine shear-modulus reduction ratio performing seismic site response analysis to consider ground nonlinear-behavior.

본 논문은 공진주시험과 삼축압축시험을 이용하여 소변형률(0.0001%~l%) 범위에서 섬유혼합토의 변형 특성을 규명하였으며, 최대전단탄성계수를 잣대로 보강효과를 평가하였다. 또한 단섬유의 직경에 대한 길이의 비(형상비), 흙의 중량에 대한 섬유 중량의 섬유혼합비, 단섬유의 종류에 따른 보강효과를 비교 검토하였다. 시료는 주문진 표준사에 폴리프로필렌 재질의 단섬유를 무작위로 배합하여 사용하였다. 섬유혼합토의 최대전단탄성계수는 비혼합토에 비해 최대 30%까지 증가하였고, 비선형 영역에서의 전단탄성계수 감소량도 억제되었다. 형상비가 증가할수록 최대전단 탄성계수는 증가하고, 단사에 비해 망사의 보강 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 섬유혼합비는 0.3 % 부근에서 보강효과가 가장 커, 최적인 것으로 확인되었다.

Adopting a rational engineering methodology for building structures on sandy-clay soil layers has become increasingly important since it is crucial when structures erected on them often face seismic and cyclic wave loads. Such loads can cause a reduction in the stiffness, strength, and stability of the structure, particularly under un-drained conditions. Hence, this study aims to investigate how the dynamic properties of sand-clay mixtures are affected by loading frequency and clay content. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed on a total of 36 samples, comprising pure sand with a relative density of 60% and sand with varying percentages of clay. The tests were conducted under confining pressures of 50 and 100 kPa, and the samples' dynamic behavior was analyzed at loading frequencies of 0.1, 1, and 4 Hz. The findings indicate that an increase in confining pressure leads to greater inter-particle interaction and a reduced void ratio, which results in an increase in the soil's shear modulus. An increase in the shear strength and confinement of the samples led to a decrease in energy dissipation and damping ratio. Changes in loading frequency showed that as the frequency increased, the damping ratio decreased, and the strength of the samples increased. Increasing the loading frequency not only reflects changes in frequency but also reduces the relative permeability and enhances the resistance of samples. An analysis of the dynamic properties of sand and sand-clay mixtures indicates that the introduction of clay to a sand sample reduces the shear modulus and permeability properties.

공진주 실험기는 전단탄성계수, 영계수 및 감쇠비로 표현되는 지반의 동적물성치를 연구하기 위한 중요한 실내 실험법으로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Stokoe식 공진주 실험기를 이용하여 전단 변형률 10-4%-10-1% 범위에서 대표적인 국내 노상토의 동적 물성치를 연구하였다. 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비는 한계변형률 Ix10-3%부근에서 부터 변형률의 영향을 받기 시작 하였다. 한계 변형률 이하에서 최대 전단탄성계수(Gmin)는 구속압 (Qc)에 따라 (Qc)0.61에 비례하여 증가하였고 최소감쇠 비(Dmin)는 1%-5.7% 범위에 분포하였다. 한계 변형률 이상에서 정규화 탄성계수 감소곡선은 Ramberg-Osgood식으로 잘 나타낼 수 있으며 Seed와 Idriss가 사질토 를 이용하여 얻은 감소곡선과 거의 일치하였다.

본 논문에서는 여러 가지 입도의 사질토에 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene) 재질의 단섬유(staple fiber)를 중량비 0.3%로 혼합한 섬유혼합도의 거동특성과 보강효과를 평가하였다. 곡류계수는 일정하게 유지하고 균등계수를 변화시켜 성형한 공사체에 공진주시험을 수행하였다. 섬유혼합토의 최대전단탄성계수는 비혼합토에 비해 최대 30%까지 증가하였고, 비선형 영역에서의 전단탄성계수 감소량도 억제되었다. 섬유혼합토의 정규화 전단탄성계수 감소곡선이 Seed와 Idriss의 대표곡선 상한값 쪽으로 이동해, 비혼합토보다 얇은 밴드로 분포하여 섬유의 혼합이 흙의 강성 증가에 효과적임을 증명되었다.

This study investigates the influence of nano-silica and basalt fiber content, curing duration, and freeze-thaw cycles on the static and dynamic properties of soil specimens. A comprehensive series of tests, including Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), static triaxial, and dynamic triaxial tests, were conducted. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was employed to examine the microstructure of treated specimens. Results indicate that a combination of 1% fiber and 10% nano-silica yields optimal soil enhancement. The failure patterns of specimens varied significantly depending on the type of additive. Static triaxial tests revealed a notable reduction in the brittleness index (IB) with the inclusion of basalt fibers. Specimens containing 10% nano-silica and 1% fiber exhibited superior shear strength parameters and UCS. The highest cohesion and friction angle were obtained for treated specimens with 10% nano-silica and 1% fiber, 90 kPa and 37.8°, respectively. Furthermore, an increase in curing time led to a significant increase in UCS values for specimens containing nano-silica. Additionally, the addition of fiber resulted in a decrease in IB, while the addition of nano-silica led to an increase in IB. Increasing nano-silica content in stabilized specimens enhanced shear modulus while decreasing the damping ratio. Freeze-thaw cycles were found to decrease the cohesion of treated specimens based on the results of static triaxial tests. Specimens treated with 10% nano-silica and 1% fiber experienced a reduction in shear modulus and an increase in the damping ratio under freeze-thaw conditions. SEM analysis reveals dense microstructure in nano-silica stabilized specimens, enhanced adhesion of soil particles and fibers, and increased roughness on fiber surfaces.
