Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that was performed to evaluate fronds of shear strength parameters in stabilization of unbound soil-aggregate systems based on the theory of unsaturated soil mechanics. Two important shear strength parameters, effective cohesion and effective angle of internal friction were estimated by the proposed approach using the results from suction measurements and unconfined compressive strength test. In addition, the effect of different addition rates of stabilizing agent was compared. Due to the stabilization process, an increase in suction potential on engineering properties of geomaterials was observed by using dielectric constant measurements. In conclusion, the results from this study show that the proposed approach can be simply used for predicting shear strength parameters of the stabilized geomaterials.

본 연구에서는 불포화 토질역학 이론에 근거하여 지반재료의 안정처리로 인해 유발되는 전단강도계수의 변화를 추정하는 방법론을 제안하였다. 지반재료의 유효 점착력과 유효 내부마찰각들이 suction측정값들과 일축압축강도 실험결과를 활용하여 추정되었으며, 안정처리제의 사용량에 따른 효과도 비교하였다. 또한 유전상수 측정실험 결과를 통해서 안정처리에 따른 재료의 suction 변화를 알 수 있었으며, 제안된 방법이 불포화 지반재료의 강도정수를 추정할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.
