초록

본 논문은 DIP(digital image processing)기법을 이용하여 조립토의 직접전단실험시 발생하는 전단영역의 크기에 대해 상대밀도와 전단하중이 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 전단변형 후 DIP기법을 적용하여 전단영역의 측정을 위해 적절한 고화제(epoxy resin)를 선택하여 4단계의 초기 상대밀도를 가진 시편이 준비되었고, 각각의 시료에 대해 전단시험 및 고화제 주입, 시편제작, 이미지 분석 등의 단계를 거쳐 전단영역의 크기가 측정하였다. 전단영역의 크기 측정 결과, 시료의 초기 삿대밀도가 증가할수록 전단영역의 크기도 증가하고, 전단하중 재하 중 전단영역 내부의 간극비는 변하지만 전단영역의 크기는 변하지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 시편의 초기 상대밀도가 한계상태 이전에는 상대밀도에 따라 전단영역의 크기가 거의 변하지 않으나 한계상태를 지나 조밀한 상태가 된 경우 상대밀도가 증가함에 따라 전단영역의 크기가 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effect of relative density on the thickness of shear zone. Digital image processing was used to measure the thickness of shear zone under plane strain conditions. A suitable epoxy resin was injected into the sample and the thickness of the shear zone was investigated. Four independent condition samples were prepared and the thickness of the shear zone was measured. The results indicated that the thickness of shear zone increases as the initial density of sample increases, and during the shear, the void ratios of the shear zone were changed, but the thickness of shear zone was not changed. In addition, the result of measurement of the thickness showed that the thickness of shear zone was almost fixed before critical state, but beyond critical state, the thickness of shear zone sharply increases as relative density increases.
