Experimental studies were carried out to investigate water diffusion in unsaturated compacted bentonite for a landfill of hazardous wastes. Water content distributions were measured and water diffusion coefficients were determined when the dry densities of compacted bentonite were in the range of 1.4 - 1.8 g/㎤. Resaturation times were also calculated to analyze the ability of the compacted bentonite to retard water movement. The results obtained were as follows: Diffusion model described properly the water migration in unsaturated compacted bentonite. Water diffusion coefficients ranged from 4.30$\times$10$^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec to 1.93$\times$10$^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, and decreased with increasing the dry density. The dry density of compacted bentonite was found to be an important factor to control the resaturation time by water. This study suggests that the domestic compacted bentonite should be a good barrier material against water movement in a landfill of hazardous wastes.

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.

This paper introduces a method of predicting the behavior of compacted soil with an unsaturated soil mechanics by considering the effect of suction as an increasing consolidation yield stress. Two kinds of experiments were conducted. One is a series of static compaction tests to monitor the suction, and the other is a series of compression tests on compacted soil without soaking. The results of our tests indicate that it is possible to derive the distribution of suction on compaction curves and to hypothesize the changes in void ratio in the compression tests that depends on the suction. In addition, a new method is proposed to estimate the consolidation yield stress of compacted soil with a simple chart including compaction curves.

Unsaturated compressive tests are performed to evaluate the effect of matric suction on the strength and the deformation characteristics for statically compacted natural kaolin in Korea. Under different conditions of the initial degree of saturation in kaolin, the relationship between suction and the degree of saturation at failure can be expressed by unique soil-water characteristic curve. These results demonstrate that the newly established constant water content type unsaturated shear strength test equipment can be used for estimating the relationship between suction and the compressive strength.

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.

To achieve a wide suction range, the low suction was imposed on compacted silt specimens by the axis translation technique and the high suction was imposed by the vapor equilibrium technique with saturated salt solutions. Firstly, the results of soil water retention tests on compacted silt show that the soil water retention curves in terms of gravimetric water content versus suction relation are independent of the dry density or void ratio in a high suction range. Therefore, triaxial tests on compacted silt with constant water content at high suctions can be considered as that with constant suction. Secondly, the results of triaxial shear tests on unsaturated compacted silt with the initial void ratio of about 0.75 show a strain-hardening behavior with a slightly shear contraction and then strain-softening behavior with an obviously dilation. As the imposed suction increases, the shear strength increases up to a peak value and then decreases when the suction is beyond a special value corresponding to the peak shear strength. The residual strength increases to fair value and those at high suctions are almost independent of imposed suctions. In addition, the contribution of suction to the strength of compacted silt would not diminish even in a high suction range.

도로하부 혹은 성토부를 구성하는 다져진 지반재료들은 불포화상태로 존재하는 관계로 재료의 침투 혹은 배수에 대한 평가시 불포화지반의 특성이 반영하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강우강도와 시간조건에서 도로하부 재료에서 어떠한 영향이 있는지를 파악하고자 수치해석적인 연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 실험을 통해 획득한 불포화 함수특성 자료를 활용하였으며 SWCC를 통하여 투수계수를 추정하였다. 제안된 방법을 통하여 시간 변화에 대한 침투 및 배수성능을 평가하였다. 연구결과 침투 및 배수 과정에서 초기흡수력의 여부와 함수특성곡선의 경로에 따라서 많은 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있다.

일반적으로 다져진 도로기초 지반재료의 장기적인 강도나 배수 거동 평가시 불포화상태를 고려하지 않고 있다. 그래서 보조기층과 노상토와 같은 도로하부 기초에서의 불포화상태와 이력현상을 고려하는 것은 현실적이다. 따라서 보다 정량적인 불포화 지반의 평가를 위하여 흡수력과 함수특성을 평가하기 위한 적절한 장비, 재료모델, 그리고 투수계수에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 거동을 알아보기 위해서는 흙-수분 관계인 재료의 함수특성곡선 측정 자료를 통하여 불포화 투수계수를 추정하고 이를 통하여 국내 대표적인 입상재료에 대한 불포화상태에서의 수분의 이동에 대한 관찰 및 분석을 수행하였다.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of suction on compressibility and shear behaviour of unsaturated silty soil under various types of loading. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted in a double-walled triaxial cell on samples of a compacted silty soil. In the experiments the soil samples were subjected to isotropic consolidation followed by unloading and subsequent reloading under constant suction and prescribed overconsolidated ratio. The experimental results are presented in the context of an elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soil. The effects of suction on mechanical behaviour of unsaturated silty soil are presented and discussed. It is shown that increasing suction affects the shear behaviour of unsaturated soils, but there is a limit beyond which, further increase in suction will not result in any significant change in the behaviour.

본 연구는 풍화 화강토의 일정 간극비에서 초기함수비의 변화에 따른 거동 특성을 통상의 삼축압축시험기를 이용한 비배수시험을 실시하여 비배수전단시 불포화 풍화 화강토의 간극압, 체적변형 및 응력-변형률 거동특성을 밝히고자한다. 연구에 사용된 시료는 조립질의 풍화 화강토이고 직경 50mm 높이 100mm로 복층다짐하여 삼축 시험용 공시체를 제작하였다. 준비된 공시체를 구속압력과 흡인력($u_a-u_w$)을 각각 달리한 비배수 3축압축시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 초기 함수비의 변화에 따라 내부마찰각($\phi'$)의 변화는 다소 있지만 흡인력의 변화에 따른 내부마찰각의 변화는 거의없고 유효점착력만이 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다.
