Abstract

In this study, the effect of different silt contents on the shear characteristics of silty sands was evaluated. Two series of triaxial compression tests were performed on the cylindrical specimens of compacted Nakdong river sand with 10% and 30% silt contents under unconsolidated undrained condition. All identical specimens were prepared to compact with same initial water content for five layers and saturated using control panel and then sheared under initial effective confining pressure, 100 to 400kPa. All specimens exhibited a strain softening tendency after failure in stress-strain curves and deviator stresses of specimens with 10% silt content were greater than those of specimens with 30% silt content. Pore water pressures of specimens with 10% silt content were observed negative(i.e. swelling) due to increasing void ratio after failure but those of specimens with 30% silt content were shown only positive. The behavior of compacted cylindrical specimens with low silt content was more dilative than that of high silt content. Peak deviator stresses decreased as increasing silt content and peak pore water pressures increased as increasing silt content.

본연구에서는 실트함유량에 따른 다양한 실트질모래의 전단특성에 관한 효과를 평가했다. 두 종류의 삼축 압축시험은 다져진 낙동강 모래속에 실트 함유율 10%와 30%를 혼합한 조건에서 원형공시체를 성형하고 비압밀 비배수 상태로 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 동일한 공시체는 같은 초기함수비로 5층으로 나누어 준비하여 포화시킨 다음 초기 유효 구속압을 100~400kPa까지 증가시킨 후 전단한다. 모든 공시체는 파괴 후 변형이 감소하는 경향을 보이며 응력변형률 곡선과 축차응력은 실트함유율이 10%일때가 30%일 때 보다 크게 나타났다. 간극수압은 실트함유율 10%인 공시체가 파괴 후의 간극비 증가로 인해 부의 영향이 나타났지만 반면에 실트함유율 30%인 공시체는 양의 경향을 나타났다. 실트함유량이 낮은 다져진 공시체의 거동은 실트함유량이 높은 경우 보다 더 심한 다이러턴시 경향을 나타났고 최대축차응력은 실트함유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 최대간극수압은 증가하였다.
