Abstract

A series of conventional tests and CRS consolidation tests with different rates of strain were performed to investigate the consolidation characteristics of marine clay. Preconsolidation pressures were evaluated by applying previously proposed methods for both the conventional tests and CRS tests results in order to check the legitimacy of those methods. The effects of strain rate on effective consolidation stress strain relationship, porewater pressure, and preconsolidation pressure were also discussed It was found that the effective stress strain relationship and the preconsolidation pressure are a function of strain rate imposed during consolidation test, but compression index isn't. The preconsolidation pressure ratio ($a_2=\sigma'_{pCRS}/\sigma'_{pConv}$)of marine clay appears proportional to the logarithm of strain rate, with average values ranging from 1.11 to 1.30 for strain rates between $1\timesx10^{-4} %/sec\; and\; 4\times10 %/sec$. The porewater pressure ratio during CRS teats does not exceed 6.0% except when the strain rate is $6.67\times10^{-4} %/sec$. Coefficient of consolidation or coefficient of permeability at normally consolidated range was not affected by the type of consolidation tests and the strain rate. Typical values of compression index (C.), coefficient of consolidation(c.), and coefficient of permeability (k.) at normally consolidated range were 0.56-0.95, $0.56\times10^{-4}~3.0\times10^{-4}cm2/sec,\; and\; 2.0\times10^{-8}~7.0\time10^{-4}cm/sec,$ respectively.

본 연구에서는 남해안 해성점토의 일정변형률 압밀특성을 파악하기 위해 표준압밀시첩과 변형률 속도가 다른 일정변형율 압밀시험을 수행하고 이들 결과를 비교.분석하였다. 표준압밀시험 및 일정변형율 시험에서 선행압밀하중을 산정하기 위하여 여러 제안된 방법을 사용하였으며 각 방법의 적용성을 검토하였다. 또한, 변형률 속도가 응력-변형뮬 관계, 간극수압, 그리고 선행압밀 하중에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 압밀곡선의 분포와 선행압밀하중비($a_2=\sigma'_{pCRS}/\sigma'_{pConv}$)는 변형률 속도의 영향을 받지만, 정규압 밀구간의 압축지수는 상대적으로 변형률 속도의 크기와 무관한 것으로 나타났다. 해성점토의 선행압밀하중비는 변형률 속도의 대수축척에 비례하여 증가하는 것으로의 변형률 속도에서 평균적으로 1.11~1.30의 분포를 보였다. 일정변형률 압밀시험에서 간극수압비는 변형플 속도가$6.67\times10^{-4}$ %sec일 때를 제외하고는 6.0%를 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 정규압밀구간의 압축지수, 압밀계수와 투수계수는 각각 0.59~0.95, $0.56\times10^{-3}~3.0\times10^{-3} cm^2/sec,\; 그리고 \;2.0\times10^4~7.0\times10^{-4} cm/sec$의 분포를 보였다.
