The effect of discrete polypropylene fibre reinforcement on shear strength parameters, tensile properties and isotropic index of stabilized compacted residual subgrade was investigated. Composites of compacted subgrade were developed from polypropylene fibre dosage of 0%, 1%, 2.5% and 4% and 3% cement binder. Saturated compacted soil benefited from incremental fibre dosage, the mobilized friction coefficient increased to a maximum at 2.5% fibre dosage from 0.41 to 0.58 and the contribution due to further increase in fibre dosage was marginal. Binder stabilization increased the degree of isotropy for unreinforced soil at lower fibre dosage of 1% and then decreased with higher fibre dosage. Saturation of 3% binder stabilized soil decreased the soil friction angle and the degree of isotropy for both unstabilized and binder stabilized soil increased with fibre dosage. The maximum tensile stress of 3% binder stabilized fibre reinforced residual soil was 3-fold that of 3% binder stabilized unreinforced soil. The difference in computed and measured maximum tensile and tangential stress decreased with increase in fibre dosage and degree of stabilization and polypropylene fibre reinforced soil met local and international criteria for road construction subgrade.

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.

The objective of this study was to identify the effect of the degree of saturation on the resilient modulus of cohesive soils as subgrade. Six representative cohesive soils representing A-4, A-6, and A-7-6 soil types collected from road construction sites across Ohio, were tested in the laboratory to determine their basic engineering properties. Resilient modulus tests were conducted on unsaturated cohesive soils at optimum moisture content, and samples compacted to optimum conditions but allowed to fully saturate. The subgrade compacted at optimum moisture content may be fully saturated due to seasonal change. Laboratory tests on fully saturated cohesive soils showed that the resilient modulus of saturated soils decreased to less than half that of soil specimens tested at optimum moisture content. The reduction of resilient modulus would possibly be caused by the buildup of pore water pressure. In resilient modulus testing performed in this study on saturated samples, pore water pressure increases were observed. Pore water pressure and residual pore water pressure gradually increased with an increase in deviator stress.

본 연구에서는 국내 철도 궤도하부 다져진 흙노반의 강성 평가를 위하여 Stokoe 방식의 고정단-자유단 중형 공진주 시험기(D=10cm, L=20cm)를 이용, 구속압 및 전단변형률 증가시 포화도(S)변화에 따른 전단탄성계수의 분포변화를 조사, 분석하였다. 분석결과 포화도가 증가할수록 최대전단탄성계수는 감소하고 정규화 전단탄성계수는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 포화도(S)~전단탄성계수(S)~전단변형률(${\gamma}$) 사이의 고유한 감소 관계특성을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 특성수립 가능성을 기반으로 향후 광범위한 추가시험을 통하여 예측모델을 수립하고 소정의 모델계수 값들을 획득할 수 있을 것이다.

시편을 통과하는 초음파의 속도를 측정 함으로써 흙의 동전단 탄성계수의 측정을 시도하였다. 초음 파의 발생 및 감지장치인 PUNDIT를 사용하였으며, 4종류의 시료에 따른 공극비 7, 포화도 7종류에 대해서 총 46개의 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구는 시료의 공극비 및 포화도,시료의 종류등이 동전단 탄성계수에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 분석 결과,흙의 동전단 탄성계수는 공극비가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으 며, 시료의 종류에 의 해서도 영 향을 받는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 실험 장비인 PUNDIT를 사용할 경우, 시편의 길이는 5cm-8cm가 적당하였으며, 포화도의 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 판단 되었다.

심층 처분 방식은 고준위폐기물을 처분하기 위한 가장 적합한 대안으로 고려되어지고 있다. 고준위폐기물은 공학적방벽시스템에 의해 지하 500~1,000m 깊이의 암반층에 처분된다. 공학적방벽시스템의 구성 요소로는 처분용기, 완충재, 뒷채움재 및 갭채움재가 있다. 이 중 벤토나이트 완충재는 지하수 유입으로부터 처분용기를 보호하고, 방사성 핵종 유출을 저지하는 역할을 하기에 심층 처분시스템에 있어 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 초기에는 처분용기로부터 발생하는 고온의 열량으로 인해 완충재의 포화도는 감소하지만, 그 후 주변 암반으로부터 유입되는 지하수로 인해 완충재의 포화도는 증가한다. 이렇듯 완충재의 불포화 거동 특성은 공학적방벽의 전체 안전성을 좌우할 수 있는 중요한 입력자료이다. 국내의 경우 경주에서 생산되는 벤토나이트가 완충재의 주요 후보물질로 고려될 수 있는데 국내 벤토나이트 완충재의 온도를 고려한 불포화 거동 특성에 대한 연구는 매우 미진한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 압축 벤토나이트 완충재의 온도 증가에 따라 함수비가 일정한 조건에서의 함수특성곡선을 도출하였으며, 시험 값과 온도가 고려된 수정 van-Genuchten 모델 값과의 상대오차는 약 2%를 나타냈다.

The characteristics and prediction model of the shear strength for unsaturated residual soils was studied. In order to investigate the influence of the initial water content on the shear strength, unsaturated triaxial tests were carried out varying the initial water content, and the applicability of existing prediction models for the unsaturated shear strength was testified. It was shown that the soil - water characteristic curve and the shear strength of the unsaturated soil varied with the change of the initial water content. A sample compacted in the lower initial water content needs a higher suction to get the same degree of saturation while the shear strength of a sample with the lower initial water content displays a lower value. In order to apply the existing prediction models of the unsaturated shear strength to granite residual soils, a correction coefficient, α, on the internal friction angle, ø'was added.

This study investigates the feasibility of adopting the results of the UC (unconfined compression) test to assess the total cohesion of the unsaturated soil. A series of laboratory tests were conducted on samples of unsaturated lateritic soils of northern Taiwan. Specifically, the unconfined compression test was combined with the pressure plate test to obtain the unconfined compression strength and its matric suction of the samples. Soil samples were first compacted at designated water content and then subjected to the wetting process for saturation and the subsequent drying process to its target suction using the apparatus developed by the authors. The correlations among the matric suction, the unconfined compression strength and the total cohesion were studied. As a result, a simplified method to estimate the total cohesion using the unconfined compressive strength is suggested. The calculated results compare reasonably with the unsaturated triaxial test results. Current results show good performance; however, further study is warranted.

A series of element tests with different drainage conditions and strain rates were performed on compacted unsaturated non-plastic silt in unconfined conditions. Soil samples were compacted at water contents from dry to wet of optimum with the degree of saturation varying from 24 to 59.5% while maintaining the degree of compaction at 80%. The tests performed were shear infiltration tests in which specimens had constant net confining pressure, pore air pressure was kept drained and constant, just before the shear process pore water pressure was increased (and kept constant afterwards) to decrease matric suction and to start water infiltration. In constant water content tests, specimens had constant net confining pressure, pore air pressure was kept drained and constant whereas pore water pressure was kept undrained. As a result, the matric suction varied with increase in axial strain throughout the shearing process. In both cases, maximum shear strength was obtained for specimens prepared on dry side of optimum moisture content. Moreover, the gradient of stress path was not affected under different strain rates whereas the intercept of failure was changed due to the drainage conditions implied in this study.
