This paper studied the subgrade spring stiffness and its influencing factors in the seismic deformation method of circular tunnel. Numerical calculations are performed for 3 influencing factors: stratum stiffness, tunnel diameter and burial depth. The results show that the stratum stiffness and tunnel diameter have great influence on the subgrade spring stiffness. The subgrade spring stiffness increases linearly with stratum stiffness increasement, and decreases with the tunnel diameter increasement. When the burial depth ratio (burial depth/tunnel diameter) exceeds to 5, the subgrade spring stiffness has little sensitivity to the burial depth. Then, a proposed formula of subgrade spring stiffness for the seismic deformation method of circular tunnel is proposed. Meanwhile, the internal force results of the seismic deformation method are larger than that of the dynamic time history method, but the internal force distributions of the two methods are consistent, that is, the structure exhibits elliptical deformation with the largest internal force at the conjugate 45° position of the circular tunnel. Therefore, the seismic deformation method based on the proposed formula can effectively reflect the deformation and internal force characteristics of the tunnel and has good applicability in engineering practice.

Damage due to frost action in pavement structure system is creating either frost heave or stiffness-weakening of subgrade soil follow melting. The formation of ice lenses requires a frost-susceptible soil, freezing temperatures, and continuous water supply. Eliminating one of these conditions suffices to significantly reduce the intensity of frost action. It is important to know characteristics of subgrade soil in frost susceptibility or decide degree of freezing permission. Also, study on the stiffness variation of subgrade soil during freezing and thawing cycle is very important. In this study, Impact resonance test for subgrade soil at freezing and thawing confirms that is applied for.

In this paper, a dynamic response mapping model of the wheel-rail system is established by using the support vector regression (SVR) method, and the hierarchical safety thresholds of the subgrade void are proposed based on the reliability theory. Firstly, the vehicle-track coupling dynamic model considering the subgrade void is constructed. Secondly, the subgrade void area, the subgrade compaction index K30 and the fastener stiffness are selected as random variables, and the mapping model between these three random parameters and the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system is built by using the orthogonal test and the SVR. The sensitivity analysis is carried out by the range analysis method. Finally, the hierarchical safety thresholds for the subgrade void are proposed. The results show that the subgrade void has the most significant influence on the carbody vertical acceleration, the rail vertical displacement, the vertical displacement and the slab tensile stress. From the range analysis, the subgrade void area has the largest effect on the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system, followed by the fastener stiffness and the subgrade compaction index K30. The recommended safety thresholds for the subgrade void of level I, II and III are 4.01㎡, 6.81㎡ and 9.79㎡, respectively.

노상 및 보조기층 등 포장하부기초의 강성도 평가를 위해 공내재하시험이 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 현재 국내에서 포장하부기초 강성도의 평가를 위해 사용되는 가장 실용적인 방법은 평판재하시험 (PBT)과 CBR 시험을 들 수 있다. 그러나 이 방법들은 시험법 자체가 안고있는 불합리성과 결과치의 변화가 크다는 단점으로 인해 결과의 신뢰도가 떨어진다. 주 연구에서는 공내재하시험기를 사용한 포장하부기초 강성도의 평가방법과 시험절차의 개발 가능성을 검토하였다. 개발된 시험법의 평가를 위해 현장 평판재하시험 결과와 비교하였으며 이로부터 공내재하시험 재재하 탄성계수($E_R$)와 평판재하시험 (PBT) 수직지반 반력계수 k와의 유효한 상관도를 설정할 수 있었다.

Stiffness characteristic of subgrade is one of the most important aspects for the design and evaluation of pavement and railway. However, adequate field testing methods for evaluating the stiffness characteristics of the subgrade have not been developed yet. In this study, an in-situ dynamic stiffness analyzer (IDSA) is developed to evaluate the characteristics of subgrade stiffness along the depth, and its performance is evaluated in elastic materials and a compacted soil. The IDSA consists of a falling hammer system, a connecting rod, and a tip module. Four strain gauges and an accelerometer are installed at the tip of the rod to analyze the dynamic response of the tip generated by the drop of hammer. Based on the Boussinesq's method, the stiffness and Young's modulus of the specimens can be calculated. The performance of IDSA was tested on three elastic materials with different hardness and a compacted soil. For the repeatability of test performance, the dynamic signals for force and displacement of the tip are averaged from the hammer impact tests performed five times at the same drop height. The experimental results show that the peak force, peak displacement, and the duration depend on the hardness of the elastic materials. After calculating the stiffness and elastic modulus, it is revealed that as the drop height of hammer increases, the stiffness and elastic moduli of MC nylon and the compacted soil rapidly increase, while those of urethanes less increase.

열차의 하중을 적절한 강성으로 지지하기 위하여 다짐시공된 노반의 효과적인 강성특성 평가 기법에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 상부노반에 대하여 크로스홀 형태의 동적 콘 관입기(CDCP)를 적용함으로써 심도에 따른 강성특성을 평가하고자 하였다. CDCP의 적용을 위하여 세 단면의 다짐시공 완료된 상부노반이 대상 현장으로 선택되었으며, 각각의 개소에 대하여 CDCP 관입실험 및 들밀도시험, 동평판재하시험(LFWD)이 수행되었다. CDCP 관입실험 결과, 심도에 따른 탄성파 발신시간 및 전단파 수신시간을 획득하였으며, 이를 이용하여 노반의 전단파속도 주상도를 획득하였다. 또한, 동일 개소에서 들밀도시험으로부터 획득한 노반의 밀도 및 전단파속도 주상도를 이용하여 심도에 따른 최대전단강성계수($G_{max}$)를 평가할 수 있었다. CDCP 관입실험 및 들밀도시험으로부터 평가된 최대전단강성계수와 LFWD시험으로부터 획득한 동탄성계수($E_{vd}$)를 상호비교한 결과 매우 우수한 선형관계를 보이므로, CDCP 관입실험으로부터 유효한 강성특성을 평가할 수 있을 것이라 판단되었다. 또한, CDCP 관입실험으로부터 도출되는 결과는 일정 심도에 대한 대표 강성특성이 아닌 심도에 따른 연속적인 강성특성 이므로 노반의 강성특성 평가에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Based on the energy-variational principle, a coupling vibration analysis model of high-speed railway simply supported beam bridge-track structure system (HSRBTS) was established by considering the effect of shear deformation. The vibration differential equation and natural boundary conditions of HSRBTS were derived by considering the interlayer slip effect. Then, an analytic calculation method for the natural vibration frequency of this system was obtained. By taking two simply supported beam bridges of high-speed railway of 24 m and 32 m in span as examples, ANSYS and MIDAS finite-element numerical calculation methods were compared with the analytic method established in this paper. The calculation results show that two of them agree well with each other, validating the analytic method reported in this paper. The analytic method established in this study was used to evaluate the natural vibration characteristics of HSRBTS under different interlayer stiffness and length of rails at different subgrade sections. The results show that the vertical interlayer compressive stiffness had a great influence on the high-order natural vibration frequency of HSRBTS, and the effect of longitudinal interlayer slip stiffness on the natural vibration frequency of HSRBTS could be ignored. Under different vertical interlayer stiffness conditions, the subgrade section of HSRBTS has a critical rail length, and the critical length of rail at subgrade section decreases with the increase in vertical interlayer compressive stiffness.

마이크로터널링은 비교적 연약한 사질토 지반을 통과하는 소규모의 터널을 시공할 때 적용하는 공법으로, 터널 시작 위치에서 일련의 짧은 원형 콘크리트 관을 유압으로 밀어서 전구간을 관통하는 공법이다. 미국 뉴욕의 JFK공항의 활주로에서는 활주로 하부를 통과하는 전력구의 설치를 위하여 이러한 마이l터널링 공법을 시도하였다. 마이크로터널링 공법에서는 콘크리트관을 전진시키기 위해 강력한 유압으로 벤토나이트를 분출하는데, 이로 인하여 활주로 하부의 지반이 교란될 가능성이 있었기에 본 연구에서는 터널시공으로 인한 교란의 정도를 평가하기 위하여 SASW 기법과 크로스흘 시험을 수행하였다. 구조물 비파괴 건전도 기법인 SASW 기법으로는 활주로 기층 부위의 지반강성 변화 정도를 평가하였고, 크로스흘 시험으로는 활주로 인접 지반의 깊이별 5파속도 변화를 조사하였다. 또한, JFK 공항 부지에서 결정한 5파 속도-N 치의 부지특유 관계식을 통하여 5파 속도를 N치로 변환함으로써 지반강성의 변화를 지반강도 변화의 측면으로도 지반교란의 정도를 파악하였다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is showing that the state of pavement sublayers can be evaluated differently according to direction of FWD. METHODS : The concrete pavement slabs above subgrade without anything, subgrade with cavity, and box culvert were modeled by finite element method(FEM). The modeled pavements were analyzed by changing the direction of falling weight deflectometer(FWD). The deflection results obtained from FEM were used to calculate radius of relative stiffness and composite modulus of subgrade reaction using AREA method. Then, the analyzed results were compared to the results of the test performed at the Korea Expressway Corporation(KEC) test road. RESULTS : The composite modulus of subgrade reaction increased with subgrade elastic modulus, while radius of relative stiffness decreased. The pavement sections of pure earth showed the consistent results regardless of FWD direction. In case there was cavity, the radius of relative stiffness was larger and composite modulus of subgrade reaction was smaller when FWD was leaving the cavity than when approaching the cavity. This pattern became clear when the cavity got larger. In case of the section with box culvert, the pattern was opposite to the case of cavity. When the soil cover depth increased, the effect of box culvert got smaller. When the load was applied far from the cavity and box culvert, the effect was also declined. The test performed at the KEC test road showed identical results to those of finite element analysis. CONCLUSIONS : The direction of FWD should be considered in evaluation of the state of pavement sublayers because it can be evaluated differently even under identical condition.

Shaking table tests were peformed to evaluate the subgrade reaction of ground according to the build-up of pore water pressure. Model pile was installed in the sand ground. The acceleration of the model ground, the pore water pressure build-up and displacement of pile were recorded by measuring devices. Subgrade reaction approach based on Winker soil model was applied to obtain the modulus of the horizontal subgrade reaction. The results of analysis show that the reduction factor of the subgrade reaction due to pore pressure increase is about 1 and the horizontal subgrade reaction of liquefied ground is not influenced by the stiffness of pile, a ground acceleration and the intial ground density.
