Undrained Shear Strength of Clay and Stability of Sub]marine Slope Undergoing Rapid Deposition

점토의 비배수 전단강도와 지적성퇴적에 의한 해저사면의 안정성

A series of CU triaxial compression tests were conducted to investigate the variation of -untrained shear strength of underconsolidated clay at different degrees of consolidation. The soil samples were artificially made by one-dimensional consolidation using soft Bangkok Clay. The test results showed that the undrained shear strength of clay parabolically increased convoking downward with increasing degrees of consolidation. However, all the measured shear strength were unanimously related to the effective stress. These experimental results were used in the numerical analysis. A finite element computer program was developed to investigate the stability of submarine .slope undergoing rapid deposition taking into account the variation in soil compressibility and permeability during the consolidation process. The relationships of degree of consolidation with time as a function of rate of deposition and angle of slope were established. A method of predicting the time of slope failure and the volume of moving mass of soil was also made.

본 연구는 인공연약점토를 시료로 하여 미려밀점토의 비배수 전단강도가 압밀과정에서 어떻게 변 이되는가를 고색하고 그 결과를 점토련자가 상당한 속도를 가지고 지적적으로 퇴적하고 있는 해천 모면에 적용하여 사면의 안정성을 검토하였다. 비배수 삼동려축 전단강도는 여밀도가 증가함에 따라 포물선을 그리며 증가하였고 유효응력과는 불 가분의 관계가 있음이 고찰되었다. 사면안정 검토에는 실험결과치들이 유한요소 프로그램에 입력되 감으며 흙의 여축성과 투수계수도 여밀도에 따라 변화시켰다. 퇴적률, 여밀도간의 관계와 사면붕괴시점과 이동토최예측도가 제시되었다.
