Abstract

Since matric suction of unsaturated soil was related to soil and ground water contaminations, it is very important to analyze its mechanism that was represented by shear characteristics. In three phases of soil, a little air makes the condition of unsaturated soil on contract or shrinkage surface between water and air. Capillarity and suction in pore of unsaturated soil cause surface tension and surface force so it makes negative pore water pressure and increases effective stress as a result. Therefore, negative pore water pressure in partially saturated soil affects the soil structure and degree of saturation and it is important to evaluate accurately unsaturate flow and behavior. In this study, the shear strength characteristics of the seven sandy soils were investigated using consolidated drained triaxial tests with special emphasis on the effects of the negative pore pressure and the matric suction. These tests involved shearing under either a constant net confining pressure and varying matric suction or under a constant matric suction and varying net normal stress.

현재 불포화토에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔고 최근 들어 많은 연구자들이 불포화지반의 안정성을 보다 합리적으로 판단하고 해석하기 위해 불포화상태를 고려한 연구의 필요성을 제기하여 왔다. 이를 위해서는 흡인력에 대한 전단강도의 증진효과를 정량화하고 이를 안정해석에 적용하는 것이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불포화 사질토의 전단강도 특성을 규명하기 일해서 국내에 널리 분포하는 화강풍화토 7가지를 대상으로 불포화 삼축압축시험을 수행하였으며, 결과치를 분석하여 강도특성을 규명하고자 한다.
