After researching the physical properties of the concrete included Rice Husk Ash(RHA concrete) and workability of fresh concrete admixed RHA, we have tested durability of RHA-concrete against freeaing and thawing in the winter using rapid freezing and thawing test method(KS F 2456) . There aretwo hypotheses to explain the failure mechanism of a freezing and thawing action. First, the hydraulic pressure in the pores of freezing concrete make an internal stress of concrete structures outbreaking micro crack in the face of concrete, Second, Frost action causing damage to cement paste repeatedly come from soil frost action, freezing water in the capillaries. Initial Relative Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (DME) was biggest in cae of unit binder weight 600kgf/㎥ and relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased until 300cycles. In general , initial relative DME was proportional to unit binder weight . Relative DME was decreased in proportion to unit binder weight in the case of 300, 400, 500kgf/㎥ , but relative DME fo the others remained more than 90% until 300 cycles. It was not good effect of intermixed RHA to concrete in case of below unit binder weight 300kgf/㎥ and the resistance of freezing and thawing was not good either.

The purpose of The work described in this paper is to clear up the initial moisture content, specific surface, air drying and freezing-thawing process on liquid limit of clayey soils distributed widely at estuary of three main rivers in the west coast. To this end, a series of tests were conducted on clayey soils samples with natural state and treated state. From the test results, the liquid limit was decreased with decrement of initial moisture content, air drying process, and freezing-thawing cycles and increased with increment of specific surface. The specific surface which influenced on the liquid limit is over $25 m^2$m$^2$/g, and their relationships are well formulated. Air drying process is expected to improve the engineering properties of the soils such the pro-water properties were changed to anti-water proper-ties through lowering of water holding as resulted to incline from A-7-5 to A-5 on the soil classificaction plastic chart. The freezing-thawing process decreased 20% of liquid limit, especially under the first cycle of the behavious, as a result of above mentioned reasons, phase change of soil-water system brought the decrement of specific surface and affected to the liquid limit.

The tailings piled in abandoned mines are well-known potential sources of soil contamination. Hydrated limes were applied as cementing materials to solidify heavy metal contaminated tailings for the purpose of reducing their toxicity and migration rates. The optimum mixing ratio of tailings, hydrated lime, and water was determined through a preliminary test. The mixtures of mine tailings and hydrated lime solidified through pozzolanic reaction were tested for their durability against repeated freezing and thawing processes. After repeated freezing and thawing, the uniaxial compressive strengths of all the solidified mixture specimens decreased in comparison with those before test but still higher than $3.5kgf/cm^2$, the standard recommended for land reclamation solids by EPA(Environmental Protection Agency), which suggested that hydrated lime be a potential material to treat the abandoned mine tailings for the environmental purpose.

Natural ground is a composite consisted of the three phases of water, air and soil paircies. Among the three components, water as a material is weU understood but soil particles are not in foundation engineering. Especially, weathered granite soil generally shows a large volumetric expansion when they freeze. And, the stability and durability of the soil have shown decreased with repetitive freezing and thawing processes. These unique charcteristics may cause various construction and management problems if the soil is used as a construction material and foundation layers. This project was initiated to investigate the soil's physical and engineering characteristics resulting from freezing and freezing-thawing processes. Research results may be used as a basic data in solving various problems related to the soil's unique characteristics. The following conclusions were obtained: The degree of decomposition of weathered granite soil in Kangwon-do was very different between the West and East sides of the divide of the Dae-Kwan Ryung. Soil particles distributed wide from very coarse to fine particles. Consistency could be predicted with a function of P200 as LL=0.8 P200+20. Permeability ranged from 10-2 to 10-4cm/sec, moisture content from 15 to 20% and maximum dry density from 1.55 to 1.73 g /cmΥ$^3$ By compaction, soil particles easily crushed, D50 of soil particles decreased and specific surface significantly increased. Shear characteristics varied wide depending on the disturbance of soil. Strain characteristics influenced the soil's dynamic behviour. Elastic failure mode was observed if strain was less than 1O-4/s and plastic failure mode was observed if strain was more than 10-2/s. The elastic wave velocity in the soil rapidly increased if dry density became larger than 1.5 g /cm$^3$ and these values were Vp=250, Vg= 150, respectively. Frost heave ratio was the highest around 0 $^{\circ}C$ and the maximum frost heave pressure was observed when deformation ratio was less than 10% which was the stability state of soil freezing. The state had no relation with frost depth. Over freezing process was observed when drainage or suction freezing process was undergone. Drainage freezing process was observed if freezing velocity was high under confined pressure and suction frost process was occurred if the velocity was low under the same confined process.

지반의 동결-융해 과정에 의한 지반구조물의 거동 특성을 이해하기 위해서는 지반내 간극수의 상변화와 지반과 구조물의 상호작용에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 모듈러 도로시스템의 동결융해의 영향에 대한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. Neumann의 동결-융해 이론식을 이용하여 기본 지반 물성치와 지중과 지표면의 온도조건에 대한 동결심도와 히빙량을 예측할 수 있으나, 지반의 완전포화 및 완전동결의 제한된 경우에만 적용할 수 있다. 동결지수에 따른 모듈러 도로시스템의 수치해석은 다양한 지반조건과 지하수위에 대하여 수행되었다. 동결 히빙량은 화강풍화토이나 모래지반에 비하여 실트질 지반에서 매우 크게 발생하였으며, 지하수위의 저하는 동결 히빙량을 감소시켰다. 실트질 지반에 설치된 도로시스템의 온도이력에 대한 수치해석은 지표면의 동결-융해 과정을 거치면서 지표면에 잔류히빙을 예측하였다. 이는 지반의 강성과 지지력을 급격하게 감소시켜 모듈화 도로시스템의 안정성과 사용성을 저해할 수 있다. 다만, 화강풍화토와 모래지반의 경우는 잔류 히빙량은 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 모듈러 도로시스템은 기존 도로포장 시스템과 달리 지지구조 상부에 설치된 포장 구조물이므로, 포장 구조물의 균등 연직변위와 부등 변형에 대한 엄격한 기준이 적용되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

해성 점토를 이용한 경량기포혼합토의 동결융해 및 수침조건에 따른 환경적 변화특성을 파악하기 위하여, 시멘트 사용량을 변화시키며 경량기포혼합토의 시료를 제작하여 동절기 저온양생, 지중양생 및 실내양생 조건에서 일축압축강도를 관찰하였다. 동결융해($-9.1^{\circ}C{\sim}17.2^{\circ}C$ 온도범위)를 받는 시료는 시멘트 사용량에 상관없이 강도발현이 안되었고 지표면 아래 30cm 깊이의 지중에서 양생한 경우 시멘트 사용량이 증가할수록 압축강도는 급격히 증가되었다. 따라서 동결융해를 받는 조건에서는 경량기포혼합토 타설 후 외기로부터 차단하는 보온층 설치가 필요하다. 장기간 수침상태를 유지한 시료는 단위중량의 증가가 매우 작게 발생하였고, 시료가 건조되어 함수비가 6%로 저하되었을 때 압축강도는 급격히 감소하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 건조를 방지하고 습윤상태를 유지할 경우 압축강도 및 단위중량의 변화는 매우 작았다. 지하수위 아래에 매설되거나 피복토를 갖는 경량기포혼합토는 장기적으로 안정적인 건설재료로 평가할 수 있다.

The frost heaving pressure can be a problem for weakening of the railroadbed material. In this study, upon freezing a saturated soil in a closed-system from the top, a considerable pressure was developed. This pressure is induced as a result of a curved ice-water interface. This study was initiated to investigate the soils frost heaving expansion pressure and physical characteristics resulting from freezing and freezing-thawing cycle process. Weathered granite soils, sandy soil were used in the laboratory freezing test subjected to thermal gradients under closed-systems.

With the development and utilization of urban underground space, the artificial ground freezing technology has been widely used in the construction of underground engineering in soft soil areas. The mechanical properties of soft clay changed greatly after freezing and thawing, which affected the seismic performance of underground structures. In this paper, a series of triaxial tests were carried out to study the dynamic response of the freezing-thawing clay under the seismic load considering different dynamic stress amplitudes and different confining pressures. The reduction factor of dynamic shear stress was determined to correct the amplitude of the seismic load. The deformation development mode, the stress-strain relationship and the energy dissipation behavior of the soft clay under the seismic load were analyzed. An empirical model for predicting accumulative plastic strain was proposed and validated considering the loading times, the confining pressures and the dynamic stress amplitudes. The relevant research results can provide a theoretical reference to the seismic design of underground structures in soft clay areas.

The earth structures and in-ground LNG tank, and buildings can be constructed with using artificial freezing method on the reclaimed land. In this study, upon freezing a saturated soil in a closed-system from the top, a considerable pressure was developed. The pressure is the result of the surface energy of a curved ice-water interface. The most significant of these parameters will have the greatest effect on the classification. In order to establish frost-susceptibility criteria based on frost heaving expansion pressure, more soils have to be tested. This study was initiated to investigate the soils frost heaving expansion pressure and moisture characteristics resulting from freezing and freezing-thawing cycle process. Weathered granite soils, sandy soil, sandy soil were used in the laboratory freezing test subjected to thermal gradients under closed- systems.
