Abstract

The objective of the present research is to evaluate the wave propagation velocity and attenuation characteristics of kaolin clay specimens using ultrasonic testing. Test specimens with known initial micro-fabric were prepared using a two-stage slurry consolidation technique. For a known state of stress conditions, initial void ratio, and micro-fabric, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the longitudinal wave propagation velocity and associated damping behavior. The effects of major variables involved in ultrasonic testing of cohesive soil were considered in this study. Ultrasonic velocity was not correlated to the microfabric structure under the given consolidated pressure whereas ultrasonic attenuation was affected by the microstructural properties of the specimen.

본 연구에서는 초음파실험을 통하여 카올린 점토 시료의 초음파 전파 속도와 감쇠특성을 조사하였다. 슬러리 압밀 방법을 이용하여 이산구조와 면모구조를 갖는 두 종류의 카올린 점토를 인공적으로 제작하였다. 초음파를 이용하여 각 구조를 가진 점토의 압축파 속도 및 감쇠 거동을 측정하였다. 측정시 가진 주파수, 시료 길이, 측정 방향 등을 변화시키며 그에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 실험 결과 전파속도는 같은 압축 응력 조건에서 제작된 본 시료의 경우 미세구조의 영향이 크지 않았으나 감쇠 특성은 미세구조의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
