Abstract

Soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs), which represent a physical property in partially saturated soils, show the relation between volumetric water content and matric suction. The SWCCs exhibit hysteresis during wetting and drying, however experimental expressions used to describe SWCCs have generally ignored the hysteresis. In addition, the shape of SWCC may depend on the void ratio which is changed by soil skeleton deformations or hysteretic behavior under various loading conditions. Hence, it is necessary to understand, both empirically and analytically, the relationship between soil skeleton deformations and the SWCCs of various soils. The typical SWCCs experimentally have drying, wetting, and the second drying curve. The measurement of a complete set of hysteretic curves is severely time-consuming and difficult works, then the first drying curve of SWCC is generally determined to estimate the hydraulic conductivity and shear strength function of partially saturated soils. This paper presents the hydraulic-mechanical behavior of partially saturated soils (weathered soil and silty soil) for volume changes and hysteresis in SWCCs regarding the difference between the first drying and wetting curve.

부분포화토의 물리적 특징 중 하나인 함수특성곡선(soil-water characteristic curve)은 모관흡수력과 체적함수비의 관계를 나타낸다. 함수특성곡선은 지반의 습윤과정과 건조과정의 이력현상을 보여줄 수 있으나, 일반적으로 함수특성 곡선을 표현하는 방법은 이러한 이력현상을 무시한다. 또한 함수특성곡선의 고유한 형태는 흙의 간극비와 토립자들의 변형을 유발할 수 있는 외부의 여러 가지 하중들에 의해 언제든지 변화될 수 있다. 그러므로 여러 흙들이 가지고 있는 함수특성곡선과 토립자들 변형 사이의 관계에 대해서 실험적인 측면과 해석적인 측면의 차이점에 대해 이해가 필요하다. 실험적으로 1차 건조과정, 습윤과정 그리고 2차 건조과정으로 그려지는 전형적인 함수특성곡선들이 얻어진다. 이러한 이력현상을 갖는 함수특성곡선에서 습윤과정의 실험은 어려운 시험방법과 많은 시간소요가 필요하기 때문에 일반적으로 첫 번째 건조과정의 실험 결과를 불포화 투수계수와 전단강도 함수를 예측하기 위한 부분포화토의 물리적 특성으로 결정한다. 본 연구는 화강풍화토와 실트질 흙을 대상으로 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 부분포화토의 중요한 물리적 특성을 갖는 함수특성곡선의 1차 건조과정과 습윤과정 차이인 흙의 체적 변형과 이력현상에 대한 수리학적-역학적 흙의 거동특성을 비교 검토하였다.
