Abstract

The characteristics and prediction model of the shear strength of unsaturated residual granite soils were studied in this paper. In order to investigate the influence of the net normal stress on the shear strength, unsaturated triaxial tests and SWCC tests were carried out by varying the net normal stress. Experimental data for unsaturated shear strength tests were compared with predicted shear strength envelopes obtained from existing prediction models. It was shown that the soil-water characteristic curve and the shear strength of the unsaturated soil varied with the change of the net normal stress. Therefore, to achieve a truly descriptive shear strength envelope for unsaturated soils, the effect of the normal stress on the contribution of matric suction to the shear strength has to be taken into consideration. In this paper, a modified prediction model f3r the unsaturated shear strength was proposed.

본 연구에서는 불포화토의 전단강도 특성과 이를 예측하는 모델에 대해 다루었다. 특히, 순연직응력(net normal stress)이 흙수분 특성곡선에 미치는 영향과 불포화토의 전단강도 발현에 미치는 영향에 대해 중점적으로 연구하였다. 이를 위해서 국내에 산재해 있는 화강풍화잔적토를 시료로 하여 불포화삼축압축 시험과 SWCC 시험 등을 실시하였으며, 특히, 순연직응력을 일정하게 유지시킨 상태에서 SWCC를 구할 수 있게 끔 기존의 장비를 개량하였다. 불포화토의 전단강도 시험결과와 기존의 강도예측모델에 의해 예측된 강도포락선을 비교해 본 결과, 흙수분 특성곡선과 흡인력 (matric suction)을 한 축으로 하는 강도포락선의 기울기가 순연직응력에 따라 변화함을 발견할 수 있었다. 따라서, 보다 정확하게 불포화토의 전단강도 포락선을 묘사하기 위해서는 흡인력에 미치는 순연직응력의 영향이 고려되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 기 언급한 내용에 근거하여 수정된 불포화토 전단강도 예측모델을 제안하였다.
