Abstract

The development of strain localization within shear zones is frequently observed during soil deformation. In fact, the phenomenon appears to be more often the norm rather than the exception. Conceptually, any soil condition that renders negative work increment is prone to localization. In this study, a broad range of soil and loading conditions are investigated to test this criterion, including: dilative soil subjected to drained shear (standard case), contractive soil sheared under undrained conditions, cavitation in dilative soil in undrained shear, inhomogeneous soils, particle alignment in contractive soils made of platy particles, soils that experience particle crushing, and the shear of low-moisture and/or lightly cemented loose soils. Unique specimens and test procedures are designed to separately test each of these soil conditions in the laboratory According to experimental test results, soil specimens with post-peak strain softening behavior are prone to progressive failure, localization of deformations, and shear banding. The state of stress, the soil density, inherent mechanical and geometrical properties of soil particles, low water content, and heterogeneity can contribute to triggering strain localization. Considering all possible cases of localization, the best method to obtain the critical state line in the laboratory is to use contractive homogeneous specimens subjected to drained shear.

흙이 변형하는 동안 전단지역 내에서 변형국지화가 자주 관찰된다. 사실상, 그 현상은 예외적이라기보다는 전형적으로 보인다. 개념적으로, 행해진 일의 증가가 음인 경우 변형국지화가 쉽게 발생한다. 이러한 현상을 검증하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 배수상태의 조밀한 흙, 비배수상태의 느슨한 흙, 비배수전단하의 조밀한 흙에서의 공동화, 비균질한 흙, 판상형의 입자로 된 흙에서의 입자배열, 입자 깨짐을 가지는 흙, 그리고 낮은 함수비나 약한 시멘트결합이 된 흙 등 다양한 흙과 다양한 조건에 대하여 조사를 수행하였다. 이러한 경우들의 각각을 독립적으로 시험할 수 있도록 시료를 제작하였고 실험절차를 구상하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 최고점후 변형연화거동을 가지는 흙은 변형국지화, 전단대형성, 그리고 점진적 파괴가 되기 쉽다. 응력상태, 흙밀도, 흙입자의 고유적인 역학적$.$지형학적인 특성, 저함수비, 그리고 비균질성이 변형국지화를 일으키는데 공헌을 하였다. 국지화가 가능한 모든 경우들을 고려해 볼 때, 실내시험으로부터 한계상태정수를 결정하는 최선의 방법은 배수전단하의 느슨하고 균일한 포화시료를 사용하는 것으로 나타났다.
