PURPOSES : In this study, the applicability of the water content, suction, and suction stress in a resilient modulus prediction model for a subbase was reviewed. METHODS : To compare the applicability of water content, suction, and suction stress models for resilient modulus prediction, the suction stress was determined based on the soil water characteristic curve. The model parameters for each approach were derived from the measured resilient moduli. Finally, the relationships between the degree of saturation and resilient modulus were analyzed using the calculated model parameters. RESULTS : Prediction models of the resilient modulus based on water content and suction demonstrated high correlation with measured values, but overestimated the resilient modulus at saturation levels beyond the laboratory testing range. In contrast, the model accounting for suction stress effectively reduced this overestimation, likely owing to a decrease in suction stress as the suction increased. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the above results, the resilient modulus of subbase materials could be estimated through the change in the degree of saturation and the stress-dependent resilient modulus model using the suction stress proposed in this study.

PURPOSES : In this study, an empirical approach was established to estimate the parameters of the resilient modulus based on various geotechnical properties of subgrade soils. METHODS : Multiple regression analyses were performed to analyze the relationship between resilient modulus (k1) and deformation. The most important factors are the #200 sieve passing ratio, moisture content, and dry unit weight of the soil. The applicability of this approach was verified using selected field data and the literature. RESULTS : The correlation between the results predicted using the prediction equation of the model constant (k1) and the actual k1-value was high. The applicability of the prediction equation was considered high owing to its high suitability with the existing data. The range of values obtained using the constant prediction equation of the proposed model was also judged to be reasonable. In the comparison of the CBR value of the subgrade material of the actual design section and the predicted elastic modulus (k1), almost no relationship was observed between the CBR and the model coefficient (k1). Thus, the estimation of the elastic modulus through CBR is likely to contain errors. CONCLUSIONS : Based on these results, the parameters of the universal model can be predicted using the stress-dependent modulus model proposed in this study.

재활용된 암버력-토사의 회복탄성계수 예측모델이 개발되었다. 반복삼축시험을 통한 회복탄성계수의 전통적 평가방법은 큰 입경을 가진 자갈에는 실현 불가능하다. 미세한 차이가 있는 비선형 전단탄성계수를 이용하여 회복탄성계수를 산출하는 대체기법을 제안하였다. 현장에서 측정한 최대전단탄성계수와 대형공진주 시험으로 구한 감소곡선을 이용하여 회복탄성계수 예측모델을 개발하였다. 이 예측모델을 김천의 고속도로공사현장에서 재활용한 암버력-토사에 적용하여 모델인자 AE, nE, εr, α를 각각 9618, 0.47, 0.0135, 0.8로 제안하였다.

교통하중하의 포장구조에 대한 설계나 비선형 해석에 있어 도로하부 재료의 회복변형 특성이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 국내에서의 관련 연구가 매우 미진한 실정이다. 또한 매우 제한적인 범위의 자료만이 노상토의 회복탄성계수를 추정하는데 활용되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시험도로 입상 노상토를 대상으로 비선형 특성을 알아보기 위하여 반복재하 회복탄성계수 시험을 수행하였다. 현장조건을 반영하여 함수비와 응력조건을 고려한 회복탄성계수 구성방정식을 제안하였다. 이를 통하여 응력조건을 고려한 회복탄성계수 예측모델과 적합한 응력의존 모델을 결정하고 계절적인 함수비 변화가 고려된 회복탄성계수 모델을 각각 비교하였다.

In order to analysis creep characteristics and elastic recovery of the high-tech fibers for fishing gear materials, creep and elasticity tests were carried out on netting twines made of nylon, kevlar 29 and techmilon respectively. After creep tests, the rupture surface of raw materials was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results obtained are as follows: 1. Netting twines were arranged in order of creep rupture time as follow: techmilon, kevlar 29, nylon. The creep progressive pace was the fastest in techmilon. 2. In order of the creep elongating, netting twines were arranged as follows: nylon, techmilon, kevlar 29. 3. The rupture time T sub(r) decreased almost linearly with the increase of applied load L on the log-log scaled graph. The empirical equations computed for kevlar 29 and techmilon are as follows: T sub(r kevlar 29)=1.9512×1037L super(-15.773). T sub(r techmilon)=2.7146×1016L super(-6.831). 4. It was observed by SEM that creep was progressed in all netting twines. The difference of rupture morphology was recognized clearly in tensile and creep tests. 5. In order of the elastic recovery, netting twines were arranged as follows: techmilon, kevlar 29, nylon.
