Abstract
It is difficult to evaluate the shear strength of weathered residual soils because of the difficulties of undisturbed sampling. In this study, a sampling device, direct shear box with shoe, was developed in order to get undisturbed samples easily for direct shear tests, and undisturbed samples could be successfully obtained. Through direct shear tests on undisturbed samples, the shear strength was evaluated with the variation of saturated conditions. In order to consider the effect of disturbance on the shear strength, a static compaction device was developed, and then it was found that undisturbed samples show greater shear strengths than the disturbed ones under natural water contents and similar strengths to the ones under soaked conditions. Further, the shear strength evaluated from direct shear tests was compared with the result of triaxial tests on undisturbed samples, and soaked strengths of the former were similar to the latter. As the result of stability analyses on an actual failed slope, it was found that the shear strength can be evaluated reasonably using direct shear box with shoe.
풍화잔적토는 불교란 시료를 채취하기가 곤란하기 때문에 전단강도를 산정하는데 있어서 어려움을 겪고 있다 본 연구에서는 직접 전단시험용 불교란 시료를 용이하게 채취하기 위해서 슈 장착 직접 전단상자를 개발하였으며, 성공적으로 불교란 시료를 채취할 수 있었다. 채취된 분교란 시료의 직접 전단시험을 통해서 포화조건에 따른 전단강도의 변화를 규명하였다. 그리고 교란에 따른 풍화잔적토의 전단거동을 규명하기 위해서 정적시료 성형장치를 제작하였고, 자연함수비 상태에서는 교란에 따른 강도저하가 나타나지만, 수침시에는 강도가 유사함을 확인하였다. 불교란 시료에 대해서 직접전단시험과 삼축압축시험시의 강도를 비교한 결과, 직접 전단시험시 수침시료의 강도가 삼축압축시험의 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 대상 붕괴사면에 대한 역해석을 수행한 결과, 슈 장착 직접 전단상자를 이용하면 풍화잔적토 사면에서의 전단강도 산정이 가능하리라고 판단되었다.
