In railway, Ballast plays an essential role as intermedium in transmitting train load to subgrade safely. Gyoung-Bu HSL 1st phase consists of ballasted track except for over 5km long tunnels. Ballast track occurred track irregularity by train loads and requires periodic maintenance work. However, Repetitive train operation and tamping work cause to accelerate track irregularity and ballast deterioration such as abrasion and crushing. For these reason, Track irregularity areas had occurred ballast cleaning work to improve track quality. However, for the train to run safety, ballast cleaner working area needs train speed reduction and track stabilization work due to ballast relaxation and initial settlement. In this study, according to train speed-up and cumulative traffic tonnage, we measured and analyzed the track settlement and acceleration of sleepers to evaluate of track stabilization in order to keep the ballast condition stable after cleaning work.

This study is focused on the influence of mixture and construction factor on bleeding amount of concrete According to the results, Amount of bleeding with mixture factor increases with increase of water contents and W/C. Amount of bleeding with construction factors is larger in the case of placing height of 1m than in the case of placing height of 0 and 0.5m. Amount of bleeding is larger at the temperature of 20℃ than at the temperature of 35℃ and 5℃, and increases in order of vibration compacting, standard lamping and non tamping. Therefore, to reduce bleeding, it is thought that it is profitable to reduce water content within the range that fluidity and workability don't go bad, to lower the placing height and not to do compacting too much.

Because the grading of aggregate is major factor affecting on compressive strength and durability of concrete, the standard specification of concrete has proposed that the standard grading should be used to make ordinary concrete having good quality. But, it is not suitable for making product having low W/C because of difference between them in manufacturing processes and demanded efficiencies. This study investigated if the grading of the fine aggregate affects on tamping efficiency and compressive strength of concrete-based product. The results of this study showed that the suitable grading for making concrete-based product ranged from C type(FM:2.77) to D type(FM:3.38).

1970년대 백색혁명 이후 급속하게 확산되어온 국내 시설원예산업은 최근 들어 날로 증가하고 있는 난방비에 대한 부담으로 그 경영이 날로 위축되어 가고 있다. 통계자료에 의하면 2001년 우리나라 전체 시설원예 면적 52,135㏊ 중 난방을 하고 있는 시설원예 면적은 12,710㏊로서 약 24%정도를 차지하고 있다. 또한, 시설재배면적의 지역분포를 비교해 보면, 시설채소의 경우 중부 이북지역에 44%, 남부에 56%의 비율로 분포해 있으며, 시설화훼의 경우 중부 이북 58%, 남부 42%인 것으로 보고되었다. 따라서, 국내 시설원예의 분포는 난방비가 많이 소요되는 지역이라도 수도권을 중심으로 유통이나 지리적 면에서 유리한 지역에 시설재배면적이 많이 분포해 있는 소비지중심형 분포임을 알 수 있다.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour and predict deviator stress with matric suction, of unsaturated silty sand. The unsaturated soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. The axis translation technique was used to create the desired matric suctions in the specimen. Undrained triaxial compression tests were carried out at matric suction of 0, 2, 5, 10 and 25 kPa. The specimens were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain steady state conditions. The results showed that liquefaction of silty sand only occurs at matric suction of 0 kPa and 2 kPa. The results also show that at matric suctions of 5, 10 and 25 kPa, the resistance to liquefaction increases. As the suction increases, the undrained effective stress path approached the drained stress path. Also, the predicted and measured maximum deviator stress for unsaturated soils using the effective stress concept showed good agreement as matric suction increases. The deviator stress increase is nonlinear as matric suction increases.

The durability of ballast plays an important role in track behaviour. To estimate the deterioration characteristics of ballast, several tests have been carried out by several scholars. The deterioration characteristics is very important factor in the behaviour of track and its life. In this paper, abrasion/breakage characteristics of ballast is studied to see the effect of physical ballast characteristics on ballast life. To reveal breakage characteristics of ballast, the ballast box test and the MTT field test were carried out. The breakage characteristics studied in this paper is applied to the ballast life prediction in various conditions, such as LA abrasion, annual tonnage, tamping number per year, etc

The asphalt waste has been collected more than ten thousands' ton from repairing works on the road and excavation repair works, most of them are disposed on land of reclamation. Only a few percentage of wasted asphalt recycled to new one. Therefore, In this study, usage of wasted asphalt and has been done engineered characteristic test for recycling materials of sub-grade and structure. To know the characteristic of asphalt waste, tamping test, bearing-ratio test, permeability test and direct shear test was done using asphalt-sand mixture. The test results shows that, mixed asphalt materials with sand can be used for materials of subgrade-soil and structure.

This study was carried out to improve our understanding about the influence of silt content on the stress-strain of sand under cyclic loading. Soil specimens were prepared by wet-tamping method as same void ratio and specimen's silt contents on total weights was changed from 0% to 20%. Also, effects of the silt contents on the stress-strain response were studied at different anisotropic consolidation ratio, Kc=1.0, 1.5, 2.0 condition. As a result, cyclic shear strength decreased as silt contents increased in same stress ratios. In same silt contents, cyclic shear strength increased as Kc increased in lower silt contents, but in higher silt contents, it had reverse results.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour of saturated silty sand under monotonic loading conditions. The undrained soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed at different confining pressures, void ratios and overconsolidation ratios and the samples were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain monotonic loading conditions. It is shown that increasing confining pressures, void ratios and overconsoildation ratios increases the deviator stress, but it has no effect on increasing the dilatant tendencies. It is shown that complete static liquefaction was observed regardless of increases in the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsolidation ratio. Therefore, the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsoildation ratio does not provide significant effects on the liquefaction resistance of the silty sand. The presence of fines in the soil was shown to greatly increase the potential for static liquefaction and creates a particle structure with high compressibility for all cases.

Surface dry condition examination method on the KS F 2504(Testing method for specific gravity and absorption of fine aggregate) has dim detail prescriptions which can cause different ways of understanding based on one's convinence, not on correct means of rule. So we investigate the problems about the inconsistency on decisioing surface dry condition at management examination in the lab and scene. In conclusion, free-falling method is easier and faster than self-weight method. And we also found that the most important face on decisioning surface dry is compacting factor of tamping rod.
