Abstract

Cone and T-bar penetrometers have been frequently used to estimate the undrained shear strength of clay. For small-size model tests, miniature penetrometers should be used but their correlation factors have not been well published. In this study, a testing setup was developed to derive empirical factors of the miniature cone and T-bar penetrometers. A 350mm-diameter chamber and kaolin clay were utilized to prepare soil specimens consolidated under four different pre-consolidation pressures controlling undrained shear strength. Two miniature cones with two diameters of 10-mm and 16-mm and a T-bar penetrometer with 10-mm diameter were used to investigate boundary effect, penetration rate effect, and diameter and shape effect. Unconsolidated-undrained triaxial tests were carried out with samples taken from the specimens to measure undrained shear strength. Finally, empirical factors for the penetrometers were constructed to correlate tip resistance to undrained shear strength.

원추형콘과 T-bar 관입시험기는 점토의 비배수전단강도를 측정하기 위해 널리 사용된다. 축소모형시험의 경우 소형관입시험기가 사용되어야 하지만 경험상관계수에 대해 발표된 자료가 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 소형콘과 소형T-bar 관입시험기의 경험상관계수를 도출하기 위한 시험시스템을 구축하였고, 카올린점토에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 직경 350mm의 강재원형챔버를 사용하여 4개의 모형지반을 조성하였고, 각 모형지반은 다른 선행압밀응력에서 압밀하여 비배수전단강도를 조절하였다. 경계면 효과, 관입속도, 직경 및 형상의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 다른 직경을 가진 두 직경의 소형콘(10mm, 16mm)과 직경 10mm T-bar를 이용하여 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 관입시험 후의 시편을 채취하여 비압밀비배수삼축시험을 수행하여 비배수전단강도로 결정하였다. 최종적으로 비배수전단강도와 관입시 선단저항력의 상관관계를 통해 경험상관계수를 산정하였다.
