Cyclic Strength Characteristics of Soft Clay

주기적(週期的) 반복하중(反復荷重)에 의한 연약점토(軟弱粘土)의 강도특성(强度特性)

A series of cyclic triaxial tests were carried out on undisturbed samples to clarify the cyclic behavior of Bangkok(Ransit) soft clay. Based on the test results obtained from the cyclic tests employing different initial shear stress and different confining stress, the cyclic properties of clay such as shear strain development and cyclic strength were investigated. The results showed that with increase in the initial shear stress, the stress-strain curve was flattened to some extent. The cyclic strength expressed by the stress ratio was higher in the test with $1.0kgf/cm^2$ of confining stress, while the cyclic strength expressed by the deviator stress was higher in the test with $1.5kgf/cm^2$ of confining stress.

연약점토(軟弱粘土)(방콕)의 주기적(週期的) 반복하중(反復荷重)에 의(依)한 거동(擧動)을 구명(糾明)하기 위하여 부교란시료(不攪亂試料)에 대(對)한 일련(一連)의 반복하중(反復荷重)을 이용(利用)한 삼축압축시험(三軸壓縮試驗)을 시도(試圖)했다. 본(本)시험(試驗)은 포속압력(抱束壓力) 및 초기전단응력(初期剪斷應力)을 변화(變化)시켜 가면서 점토(粘土)의 전단변형(剪斷變形), 강도변화(强度變化) 등(等)을 조사(調査) 비교(比較)한다. 그 결과(結果) 초기전단응력(初期剪斷應力)이 증가(增加)함으로써 응력(應力)-변형곡선(變形曲線)은 적은 변화(變化)를 보였고, 반복하중(反復荷重)에 의(依)한 강도변화(强度變化)는 응력비(應力比)로 표현(表現)될 때 포속압력(抱束壓力)이 $1.0kgf/cm^2$이었을 때 더 컸으며, 축차응력(逐差應力)으로 표현(表現)될 경우(境遇)는 포속압력(抱束壓力)이 $1.5kgf/cm^2$이었을 때 크게 나타났다.
