Cavity expansion and contraction solutions for cylindrical and spherical cavities in unsaturated residual soils are presented in this paper. Varying soil state in the plastic zone is accounted by a numerical approach, wherein an element-by-element discretization of the plastic zone of both expanding and contracting cavities is carried out. Unlike existing methods utilizing self-similarity technique, the solution procedure enables the prediction of entire soil-state at any stage of expansion and subsequent contraction. It is also applicable for both cavity creation and expansion problems. The approach adopts constant contribution of suction to effective stress (constant X^s drainage condition) for analysis. The analysis procedure is validated by interpreting the previously reported pressuremeter test results in lateritic residual soil. The typical cavity expansion and contraction characteristics of unsaturated Indian lateritic soil were then examined using this solution procedure. The effect of initial soil-state on cavity limit pressure, plastic radius, reverse yield pressure, and reverse plastic radius are also presented.

본 연구는 불포화 상태 전 범위에 대한 사질토의 인장강도 모델화 가능성을 조사하기 위해 실시 되었다. 새로 개발된 직접인장시험기법을 이용하여 인장시험이 실시되었다. 측정된 결과는 Rumpf 및 Schubert가 동일크기의 이상적인 구에 대해 개발한 이론적인 인장강도 모델들에 의한 예측 값과 비교 되었다. 이를 위해 석션-포화실험을 통해 얻어진 흙-수분특성곡선을 이용하여 이론모델에 있어 중요한 요소인 불포화상태(pendular, funicular, capillary) 구분 및 음의 간극수압 값을 산정하는데 사용하였다. Pendular 상태에서 불포화모래의 비선형 거동이 Rumpf의 모델에 의해 적절이 묘사되었다. Funicular 및 capillary상태의 경우, 함수비가 증가함에 따라 인장강도가 증가하다 최고 값이 도달한 후 다시 감소하는 실험 측정치의 경향도 Schubert의 모델에 의해 적절히 묘사되었다. 본 비교 연구는 이상적인 단일 크기의 입자에 대해 개발된 이론적인 모델이 다양한 크기를 갖는 불포화 사질토의 인장강도를 예측할 수 있다는 가능성을 뒷받침해준다.

일반적으로 도로구조물들은 포화상태라는 가정 하에 설계되고 있으나 실제 도로구조물의 재료인 입상지반재료는 대부분 불포화 상태에 존재하고 있다. 이러한 부분을 반영하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 다져진 입상지반재료를 대상으로 삼축압축시험과 함수특성곡선 시험 결과를 활용하여 다양한 조건에서의 불포화 전단강도를 추정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 비선형 모형을 활용한 2차원 유한요소해석을 실시하고 Mohr-Coulomb항복조건을 통하여 항복하중을 규명하였다. 또한, 입상재료의 항복하중에 대한 도로구조물 표층두께의 변화에 따른 영향을 확인하였다. 해석 결과 입상지반재료의 불포화토 이론을 고려하여 포장 혹은 비포장 도로의 지지력을 예측할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

This study was made to investigate various engineering properties of earth materials resulting from their changes in density and moisture content. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1. The finner the grain size is, the bigger the Optimum Moisture Content(OMC) is, showing a linear relationship between percent passing of NO. 200 Sieve (n) and OMC(Wo) which can be represented by the equation Wo=0.186n+8.3 2. There is a linear relationship of inverse proportion between OMC and Maximum Dry Density (MDD) which can be represented by the equation ${\gamma}$d=2.167-0.026Wo 3. There is an exponential curve relationship between void ratio (es) and MDD whose equation can be expressed ${\gamma}$d=2.67e-0.4550.9), indicating that as MDD increases, void ratio decreases. 4. The coefficent of permeability increases in proportion to decrease of the MDD and this increase trend is more obvious in coarse material than in fine material, and more obvious in cohesionless soil than in cohesive soil. 5. Even in the same density, the coefficient of permeability is smaller in wet than in dry from the Optimum Moisture Content. 6. Showing that unconfined compressive strength increases in proportion to dry density increase, in unsaturated state the compacted in dry has bigger strength value than the compacted in wet. On the other hand, in saturated state, the compacted in dry has a trend to be smaller than the compacted in wet. 7. Even in the same density, unconfined compressive strength increases in proportion to cohesion, however, when in small density and in saturated state, this relationship are rejected. 8. In unsaturated state, cohesion force is bigger in dry than in wet from OMC. In saturated state, on the other hand, it is directly praportional to density. 9. Cohesion force decreases in proportion to compaction rate decrease. And this trend is more evident in coarse matorial than in fine material. 10. Internal friction angle of soil is not influenced evidently on the changes of moisture content and compaction rate in unsaturated state, On the other hand in saturated state it is influenced density. 11. Cohesion force is directly proportional to unconfined compressive strength(qu), indicating that it has approximately 35 percent of qu in unsaturated state and approximately 70 percent of qu in saturated state.

In order to analyse the flow problems for an unsaturated soil, it is required to examine closely the characteristics of the coefficient of permeability which is changing with the matric suction. To this ends, a permeability test was conducted on the three samples;granular soil, cohesive soil and silty soil. The specimen was made by pressing the static pressure on the mold filled with soil and the void ratio was controled with the different compaction ratio. And the test was performed by using the modified apparatus of the steady state method which was proposed by flute (1972). The range of matric suction was 0-90 kPa. The measured results for the coefficients of permeability were analysed with the void ratio and the compaction ratio, and it was examined closely the characteristics of the permeability for an unsaturated soil.

The aim of the work descrihed in this paper is to study a characteristics of an unsaturated soil for the different matric suctions. To this end, a series of suction controlled isotropic and triaxial compression tests is conducted on silty sands. Matric suction is controlled by the axis translation technique using high air entry ceramic disk. Total volume change, air and water volume changes are measured by the device made for the experiment. The specimens are compacted using a half of Proctor compaction energy and with the water contents of 5% drier than the optimum moisture contents. Isotropic compression and triaxial compression tests are conducted on the specimen at each equilibrium state of matric suction. From test results, volume changes and deviator stresses are analyzed at each state and their relationships are formulated.

In order to treat flow problems for an unsaturated soils, it is required the mediation of the coefficient of permeability with variation of suction. The coefficient of permeability for soils can be determined by the direct or indirect methods. The direct methods of permeability can be performed either in the laboratory or in the field. The indirect methods can be predicted from the soil-water characteristics curve. Laboratory test methods to measure the coefficient of permeability can be categorized into two types, steady-state and unsteady-state. In this study, the coefficient of permeability for unsaturated soils was determined by the modified apparatus for steady state-method(Klute, 1972) and was predicted from the equations of Brooks and Corey(1964) and Van Genuchten(1980). Experimental results were compared with predicted coefficient of permeability and verified applicability of the two equations.

본 논문은 삼축압축시험(CD)과 개선된 직접전단시험 결과 얻어진 불포화토의 전단특성을 비교분석하여 새로이 개선된 직접전단시험장비의 실용성을 검증하였다. 2010년 경기도 양평군 토석류 발생사면에서 채취한 시료를 대상으로 불포화토 상태의 전단강도실험을 수행하였다. 다른 두 종류의 실험방법에서 낮은 모관흡수력이 작용하는 경우는 전단강도와 선형적인 관계를 나타내며, 모관흡수력의 증가함에 따라 불포화토의 겉보기 점착력 역시 선형적으로 증가하였다. 다른 두 실험장비에 의한 결과를 비교한 결과, 산정된 불포화토의 강도정수($c^{\prime}$, ${\phi}^b$)는 전단 상자의 구속효과가 있는 개선된 직접전단시험에서 다소 크게 나타났다.

연구목적: 불포화토에서 발생하는 모관흡수력의 존재는 사면의 안정성을 증가시키지만, 강우침투 로 인한 모관흡수력의 감소는 갑작스런 사면 파괴를 유발하여 큰 재난을 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 우리나라의 대표적인 산흙인 화강풍화토에 대하여 불포화상태에서의 공학적 특성을 분석하였다. 연구방법:화강풍화토에 대하여 입도상태가 양호한 경우와 입도상태가 불량한 경우로 나누어 불포화 상태에서 함수특성곡선, 불포화투수곡선, 모관흡수력에 대한 불포화 전단강도 관계 등으로서 실험과 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과: 입도분포가 불량한 경우가 입도분포가 균등한 경우에 비하여 체적함수비에 대한 모관흡수력의 변화가 급격히 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 입도가 균등한 경우가 입도가 불량한 경우에 비하여 동일한 모관흡수력에서 투수계수가 비교적 작은 값을 나타내었다. 모관흡수력이 크게 작용할수록 전단강도가 증가하는 경항을 보였다. 결론: 우리나라의 대표적인 산흙인 화강풍화토에 대하여 입도상태가 양호한 경우와 입도상태가 불량한 경우로 나누어 불포화상태에서의 공학적 특성인 함수특성곡선, 불포화투수계수, 불포화 전단강도 등에 대하여 실험을 실시하여 각각의 상관관계를 확보하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour and predict deviator stress with matric suction, of unsaturated silty sand. The unsaturated soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. The axis translation technique was used to create the desired matric suctions in the specimen. Undrained triaxial compression tests were carried out at matric suction of 0, 2, 5, 10 and 25 kPa. The specimens were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain steady state conditions. The results showed that liquefaction of silty sand only occurs at matric suction of 0 kPa and 2 kPa. The results also show that at matric suctions of 5, 10 and 25 kPa, the resistance to liquefaction increases. As the suction increases, the undrained effective stress path approached the drained stress path. Also, the predicted and measured maximum deviator stress for unsaturated soils using the effective stress concept showed good agreement as matric suction increases. The deviator stress increase is nonlinear as matric suction increases.
