Abstract

This paper presented a method to estimate the consolidation yield stress of compacted soil with an unsaturated soil mechanics, especially considering the effect of matric suction. Then two kinds of experiments were conducted. One is a series of static compaction tests to monitor the matric suction, and the other is a series of consolidation tests on compacted soil without soaking. The results indicate that it is possible to derive the distribution of matric suction on compaction curves and to hypothesize the changes of the void ratio depending on the matric suction in the consolidation tests. With this experimental results, a new method was introduced to estimate the consolidation yield stress of compacted soil including compaction curves.

본 연구는 불포화토의 역학적 특성, 특히 메트릭 흡인력(matric suction)을 이용하여 다짐토의 압밀 항복응력을 산정하는 방법에 대해 검토되었다. 이를 위해, 두 종류의 시험을 실시하였다. 하나는 흡인력을 측정하기 위하여 정적 다짐시험이 실시하였으며, 다른 하나는 수침시키지 않은 다짐토의 압밀시험을 실시하였다. 그 시험 결과, 다짐곡선 상에 흡인력의 분포를 나타낼 수 있었으며, 압밀시험에서 간극비의 변화는 흡인력에 의존하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 시험결과를 기초로 하여, 다짐 곡선을 포함하는 다짐토의 압밀 항복 응력을 산정하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다.
