지반공학회 회원여러분들께 알려드립니다.



임오년 새봄에 서울대학교에서 주관하는 신선하고 흥미로운 내용의 특강이 있어서 안내해 드립니다. 강사는 영국 Nottingham Trent 대학의 Mattew Frost 교수이시고, 주제는 도로포장 설계와 평가에 관한 것으로 이 분야의 최근 영국의 기술동향을 살펴볼 수 있는 좋은 기회라고 생각됩니다.

* 참고: Frost 교수 특강의 개요:



The talk will be based on my recent research I have performed for the UK Highways Agency, and our latest contract. The work I undertook was part of

a project to develop a performance specification for road foundations and to look at simplified analytical pavement foundation design. The talk will

include some basic geotechnics of how pavements work and pavement loading (rotation of principal stresses), Materials response to the load and

composite behaviour, and the philosophy of a performance specification. I will then do a short review or tests available to measure performance in

the laboratory and then detail the results of an extensive set of repeated load triaxial test on subgrade soils found in the UK and the problems with

such testing. I will then talk about performance measurement assessment in the field (stiffness and strength assessment) concentrating on systems to

measure dynamic stiffness in the field. I will then show some correlations between lab and field measurements and briefly detail a proposed way

forward for granular material thickness design for pavements which is our current project.
