불교란 화강토의 강도정수 (c,ø) 및 Dilatancy 보정

Strength Parameter (c,ø) and Dilatancy Correction of Undisturbed Weathered Granite Soil

In order to evaluate the shear characteristics of undisturbed weathered granite soil which is a typical residual soil in Korea, the mechanical properties are first investigated and discussed by carrying out a series of direct shear test and then dilatancy correction is performed by using Taylor’s correction equation. In this study, specimens are sampled at Pungam(-3, -8, -13m below ground surface), Kwangju and Iksan(-5m below ground surface), Jeonbuk. The test results are summarized as follows: 1) Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is not linear under the low confining pressure. 2) The value of cohesion is smaller than usually determined value in low pressure region. 3) The value of strength parameter c and ø which are corrected by Taylor’s correction equation is a little bit small.
