사면 내 토사가 붕괴되거나 토석류가 발생하는 경우 파괴면에 작용하는 전단강도는 0에 가깝게 되면서 토사가 비점성 액체와 같이 유동한다. 점성토는 함수비 증가에 따라 그 연경도가 달라지며 액체상태로 바뀌는 액성한계에서 도 약간의 전단강도를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 점성토의 전단강도가 0이 되어 흐름을 유발하는 함수비를 찾고자 하였 다. 카올리나이트, 벤토나이트, 그리고 카올리나이트(50%)+벤토나이트(50%)와 같은 세 종류의 점토에 혼합수로 증류 수, 해수, 또는 미생물용액을 혼합하여 액성한계 상태로 만든 다음 함수비를 단계적으로 증가시키면서 토베인 시험기 를 이용하여 비배수전단강도를 측정하였다. 액성한계와 소성한계에서 비배수전단강도의 범위는 각각 3.6-9.2kPa와 24-45kPa 정도이었다. 한편 측정 결과로부터 비배수전단강도가 급격하게 변화하는 값에 해당하는 함수비를 흐름함수 비(Flow Water content)로 정의하였으며, 비배수전단강도가 0이 될 때의 함수비를 흐름한계(Flow Limit)로 정의하였다. 그리고 흐름한계와 액성한계의 상관관계를 살펴보기 위하여 흐름한계와 액성한계의 차이를 점성지수(Cohesive Index) 로 정의하였다. 또한 흐름한계와 소성한계의 차이를 새로운 소성지수(New Plasticity Index)로 정의하였으며, 흐름한계를 이용하여 새로운 액성지수(New Liquidity Index)도 정의하였다. 흐름한계(Flow Limit)는 액성한계보다 1.5-2배 정도 높은 값을 보였으며, 새로운 소성지수는 기존 소성지수보다 2-5.5배 정도 높았다.

Coastal and offshore structures such as ports and offshore wind farms will often need to be built on fine-grained sediments. Geotechnical properties associated with sediment compressibility are key parameters for marine construction designs especially on soft grounds, which involve clay-mineral dominated fines that can consolidate and settle significantly in response to engineered and environmental loads. We conduct liquid limit tests and 1D consolidation tests with fine-grained soils (silica silt, mica, kaolin and bentonite) and biogenic soils (diatom). The pore fluids for the liquid limit tests include deionized water and a series of brines with NaCl salt concentrations of 0.001 m, 0.01 m, 0.1 m, 0.6 m and 2.0 m, and the pore fluids for the consolidation tests deionized water, 0.01 m, 0.6 m, 2 m. The salt concentrations help the liquid limits of kaolin and bentonite decrease, but those of diatom slightly increase. The silica silt and mica show minimal changes in liquid limit due to salt concentrations. Accordingly, compression indices of soils follow the trend of the liquid limit as the liquid limit determined the initial void ratio of the consolidation test. Diatoms are more likely to be broken than clastic sediments during to loading, and diatom-rich sediment is therefore generally more compressible than clastic-rich sediment.

In general, the design of structures and its construction processes are fundamentally dependent on their foundation and supporting ground. Thus, it is imperative to understand the behavior of the soil under certain stress and drainage conditions. As it is well known that certain characteristics and behaviors of soils with fines are highly dependent on water content, it is critical to accurately measure and identify the status of the soils in terms of water contents. Liquid limit is one of the important soil index properties to define such characteristics. However, liquid limit measurement can be affected by the proficiency of the operator. On the other hand, dynamic properties of soils are also necessary in many different applications and current testing methods often require special equipment in the laboratory, which is often expensive and sensitive to test conditions. In order to address these concerns and advance the state of the art, this study explores a novel method to determine the liquid limit of cohesive soil by employing video-based vibration analysis. In this research, the modal characteristics of cohesive soil columns are extracted from videos by utilizing phase-based motion estimation. By utilizing the proposed method that analyzes the optical flow in every pixel of the series of frames that effectively represents the motion of corresponding points of the soil specimen, the vibration characteristics of the entire soil specimen could be assessed in a non-contact and non-destructive manner. The experimental investigation results compared with the liquid limit determined by the standard method verify that the proposed method reliably and straightforwardly identifies the liquid limit of clay. It is envisioned that the proposed approach could be applied to measuring liquid limit of soil in practical field, entertaining its simple implementation that only requires a digital camera or even a smartphone without the need for special equipment that may be subject to the proficiency of the operator.

The purpose of The work described in this paper is to clear up the initial moisture content, specific surface, air drying and freezing-thawing process on liquid limit of clayey soils distributed widely at estuary of three main rivers in the west coast. To this end, a series of tests were conducted on clayey soils samples with natural state and treated state. From the test results, the liquid limit was decreased with decrement of initial moisture content, air drying process, and freezing-thawing cycles and increased with increment of specific surface. The specific surface which influenced on the liquid limit is over $25 m^2$m$^2$/g, and their relationships are well formulated. Air drying process is expected to improve the engineering properties of the soils such the pro-water properties were changed to anti-water proper-ties through lowering of water holding as resulted to incline from A-7-5 to A-5 on the soil classificaction plastic chart. The freezing-thawing process decreased 20% of liquid limit, especially under the first cycle of the behavious, as a result of above mentioned reasons, phase change of soil-water system brought the decrement of specific surface and affected to the liquid limit.

본 연구는 파주점토에 대해 Casagrande법(동적)과 원추관입시험법(정적)으로 액성한계와 소성한계시험을 실시하여 실험방법과 실험자에 따른 액 소성한계 결정에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 총 6명의 실험경험을 가진 학생이 참여하였다. 액성한계시험결과, 원추관입시험법으로 구한 액성한계는 Casagrande법으로 구한 액성한계보다 약 4% 정도 작게 나타났다. 원추관입시험법에서 실험횟수의 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 실험자별 실험값의 차이가 작아지고, 숙련도의 변화 폭도 양호해지는 경향을 보였다. 1점법에서 원추콘관입시험법에 의해 결정된 액성한계 값의 변화는 작고 Casagrande법보다 좀 더 양호한 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 소성한계시험결과, 액성한계와는 다르게 두 시험법의 결과 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 두 시험방법 모두 실험자별 소성한계는 실험횟수가 증가함에 따라 평균 소성한계 값에 근접해 가는 경향을 보이고 있으며 숙련도의 변화도 실험횟수가 증가 할수록 좋아 지는 경향을 보였다.

Low liquid limit silt, widely distributed in the middle and down reaches of Yellow River, has the disadvantages of poor grading, less clay content and poor colloidal activity. It is very easy to cause vehicle jumping at the bridge-embankment transition section when the low liquid limit silt used as the backfill at the abutment back. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to study the physical and mechanical properties of the low liquid limit silt used as back filling. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) was excited by active MgO and hydrated lime to solidify silt as abutment backfill. The optimum ratio of firming agent and the compaction and mechanical properties of reinforced soil were revealed through compaction test and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) test was used to study the pore characteristics and hydration products of reinforced soil. 6% hydrated lime and alkali activated slag were used to solidify silt and fill the model of subgrade respectively. The pavement settlement regulation and soil internal stress-strain regulation of subgrade with different materials under uniformly distributed load were studied by model experiment. The effect of alkali activated slag curing agent on curing silt was verified. The research results can provide technical support for highway construction in silt area of the Yellow River alluvial plain.

The goals of this study are to investigate the feasibility of the reference state approach in determining the generalized soil-water characteristic curve that is essential for characterization of unsaturated soil behavior. The soil-water characteristic curves are obtained from a number of specimens of fine-grained residual soils compacted with different void ratios. Based on the experimental test results, the feasibility of using the liquid limit state as the reference state for predicting the soil-water characteristic curve are verified. Finally, through the regression analysis of experimental data using the equation of Fredlund and Xing (1994), a reliable method is proposed to predict the generalized soil-water characteristic curve of fine-grained residual soils using the liquid limit state as the reference.
