초록
본 연구에서는 효율의 관점에서 흙 자체의 전단강도 및 흙/토목섬유 상호간의 접촉면 마찰특성을 조사하기 위하여 대형직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 모래와 쇄석, 3종류의 지오텍스타일(즉, 2종류의 부직포와 1종류의 직포)을 시험에 사용하였다. 접촉면에서의 전단강도를 산정하는데 고려한 접촉면은 모래/모래, 쇄석/쇄석, 모래/직포, 쇄석/직포, 쇄석/부직포-A 그리고 쇄석/부직포-B 등이다. 연구결과, 모래/직포의 접촉면에서는 모래자체의 전단강도(즉, 모래/모래 접촉면)와 비교하여 84%의 효율을 얻었다. 쇄석/부직포-A, 쇄석/부직포-B, 쇄석/직포의 접촉면에서는 쇄석자체의 전단강도(즉, 쇄석/쇄석 접촉면)와 비교하여 각각 74%, 83%, 72%의 효율을 얻었다.
Large-scale direct shear tests were conducted in order to investigate both the shear strength of soil itself and the friction behavior at the interface of soil/geosynthetics in respect of efficiency in this study. Sand, crushed stone and three types of geotextile (i.e. one woven geotextile and two nonwoven geotextiles) were used in the experimental program. The considered interfaces for the evaluation of interface shear strength in this study included sand/sand, crushed stone/crushed stone, sand/woven geotextile, crushed stone/woven geotextile, crushed stone/nonwoven geotextile-A and crushed stone/nonwoven geotextile-B. The results showed that the efficiency of 84% was obtained at the interface of sand/woven geotextile compared with the shear strength of sand itself (i.e. sand/sand interface). The efficiencies of 74%, 83% and 72% were obtained at the interface of crushed stone/nonwoven geotextile-A, crushed stone/nonwoven geotextile-B and crushed stone/woven geotextile, respectively compared with the shear strength of crushed stone itself (i.e. crushed stone/crushed stone interface).
