본 연구에서는 불포화토의 역학특성을 해명하기 위하여 4개의 횡변위 계측시스템(proximeter)을 이용하는 방법으로 포화 삼축시험기를 개량하여 불포화 삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 등방응력조건하에서 다양한 석션을 작용시켜 압축 특성을 검토한 결과, 공시체의 초기 석션 보다 작은 석션을 작용시켰을 경우 흡수에 의한 체적압축(wetting collapse)이 발생함을 알았다. 또한 다양한 석션 레벨 및 구속압에서 삼축압축시험을 수행하여, 불포화토에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 초기 석션이 클수록 동일 축변형률에 대한 전단강도가 커지고 체적변형률이 작게 나타났다. 그러나, 구속압에 의한 체적변형률 및 배수량의 변화는 작게 나타났으며, 구속압 보다는 초기 석션에 더 의존하고 있다는 사실을 알았다.

It has been recognized unsaturated soil behaviour playing an important role in geomechanics. Up to now, only a few experimental data are available for the technical difficulties related to both volume changes and suction measurements. In this study, the volume changes of unsaturated compacted silty soil were monitored with proximeter (i.e. non-contactable transducer) during various triaxial compression tests, which gave a realistic estimation in the volume changes of unsaturated soil sample. Various triaxial compression tests for unsaturated soil under different drainage conditions are carried out. The behaviour of the pore pressure, namely, the pore-air pressure and the pore-water pressure, and matric suction during the shearing tests are investigated. The experimental results have revealed that the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil can be significantly affected by the matric suction.

It has been recognized unsaturated soil behaviour playing an important role in geomechanics. Up to now, only a few experimental data are available for the technical difficulties related to both volume changes and suction measurements. In this study, the volume changes of unsaturated compacted silty soil were monitored with proximeter (i.e. non-contactable transducer) during various triaxial compression tests, which gave a realistic estimation in the volume changes of unsaturated soil sample. The measurement of volume changes were performed with 0.5% of the maximum error under the axial strain ratio of less than 10%. The experimental results have revealed that the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil can be significantly affected by the matric suction. During the shearing processes, the level of maximum deviator stress under the initial suction pressure of 50kPa was higher than that under the initial suction pressure of 10kPa. On the other hand, the volume changes became smaller under the increase in the initial suction pressure.
