Abstract

In situ clay soils with Ko condition have anisotropic characteristics, varying the response according to the principal stress direction upon loading. But because of their practicality and simplicity, consolidated isotropic undrained compression tests are commonly used in practice to determine the behavior of cohesive soils. In this study to investigate the anisotropic characteristics and the effects of consolidation stress states on the response of normally consolidated clay soils during shearing, triaxial compression and extension tests after consolidating the undisturbed clay soil samples, which are obtained as a block sample to normalized consolidation states under isotropic or Ko state, were carried out. As a result of tests, the anisotropy of the undrained strength was confirmed. Comparing the soil responses between isotropic and Ko consolidation, the undrained strength by isotropic consolidation is overestimated because of its higher mean consolidation pressure. And isotropic consolidation reduces the anisotropy of soil response and influences on the stress-strain behavior and pore pressure response because the animotropic soil structure is partially collapsed during isotropic consolidation process. Also, OCR in overconsolidated soils is decreased by isotropic consolidatiorL Friction angle in eztension is higher than that in compression, but regression analysis shows that friction angle with cohesion in extension is almost the same as that without cohesion in compresslon.

자연상태의 점성토는 Ko상태로 존재하며 하중재하시 주웅력방향에 따라 다르게 거동하는 이방적 특성을 갖는다. 그러나 실험실에서 점성토의 강도특성을 파악하기 위하여 실시하고 있는 실험은 실용성과 간편성 때문에 등방압밀 삼축시험이 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 정규압밀점성토의 이방적 특성과 압밀방법에 따른 전단특성을 고찰하기 위하여 토괴의 형태로 채취한 불교란 점성토를 등방압밀 또는 Ko압밀시켜 정규압밀상태에 도달하게 한 후 비배수삼축압축과 신장시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 주응력방향에 따른 강도의 이방성을 작인하였다. 등방압 밀은 압밀시 시료에 가해지는 Ko상태보다 높은 평균주응력과 흙의 이방적 구조의 파괴때문에 비 배수강도를 과대평가하며 이방성이 감소하고 응력-변형률과 발생 과잉간극수압이 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었으며, 과압밀점성토의 경우 과압밀비를 감소시킨다. 또한 내부마찰각은 신장시험이 압축시험보다 큰 값을 나타내지만 파괴시의 응력상태를 이용하여 회귀분석한 결과에 따르면 신장시 점착력과 함께 나타나는 내부마찰각은 압축시험과 거의 같은 값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다.
