Abstract

Most experimental studies on soil liquefaction are related to clean sands. However, soils in the field or reclaimed grounds commonly contain some amounts of silt and clay rather than clean sand only. Many researchers investigated the effect of fine contents on liquefaction resistance and mainly used non-plastic fines such as silts. In this study, 10% of plastic fines with various plasticity index (PI) such as 8, 18, 50, and 377 were mixed with wet Nakdong River sand and then loose, medium, and dense specimens were prepared by undercompaction method. A series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests were carried out by applying three different cyclic stress ratios. As a result, the liquefaction resistance tended to decrease as a PI of fines in the specimens with equal fine content increased. On the other hand, the difference between loose specimens with low and high plasticity fines was not clearly observed in terms of liquefaction resistance. However, in the case of dense specimens, liquefaction resistance decreased up to 40% as a plasticity of fines increased.

지반의 액상화에 관한 연구는 대부분 깨끗한 모래를 대상으로 실시되었다. 하지만 실제 현장 지반이나 매립지는 깨끗한 모래만으로 이루어진 경우보다 실트나 점토와 같은 세립분을 포함한 상태로 존재하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이와 같은 현장 지반조건을 고려하기 위하여 사질토 지반 내에 포함된 세립분이 액상화에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 다수 수행되었으나, 대부분의 연구가 실트와 같은 비소성 세립분을 포함한 경우이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 낙동강모래에 소성지수가 8, 18, 50, 377인 저소성 실트에서 고소성 점토질 세립분을 10% 함유한 공시체에 대하여 비배수 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 습윤 시료를 저다짐방법으로 느슨한 상태, 중간 상태, 조밀한 상태로 성형하였으며, 각각의 공시체에 세 종류의 반복전단응력을 가하였다. 세립분의 양은 동일하지만 공시체에 포함된 점토와 같은 소성 세립분의 소성지수가 높아질수록 액상화 저항강도는 전반적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 한편, 공시체의 상대밀도가 느슨한 경우에는 세립분의 소성지수에 따른 액상화 저항강도 차이가 크지 않았으나, 조밀한 경우에는 세립분의 소성지수가 증가함에 따라 액상화 저항강도가 최대 40%까지 감소하였다.
