Abstract

It was known that the aging effect of sands is insignificant in comparison with clays, and hence the study on this effect had seldom been performed prior to the early 1980s. However, field tests for this effect have been actively carried out since it was investigated that penetration resistance of reformed sands increased with the lapse of time. Recently, the aging effect of sands has also been examined in laboratory testings. In this study, undrained static triaxial tests were performed to evaluate the effect on the Nak-dong River sands, with different .elative densities $(D_r)$, consolidation stress ratios $(K_c)$, and consolidation times. As a result of the tests, it was proved that the undrained cyclic shear strength $(R_f)$ increased with the aged time on the sands. The in situ range of Rf on the sands, which is applicable to the magnitude of earthquake in the Nak-dong River area, was proposed by using the test results.

모래의 aging현상은 점성토에 비하여 무시할 정도로 매우 작아서 1980년대 초까지는 거의 연구되지 않았다. 그러나 퇴적이나 교란 후 시간경과에 따라 관입저항치의 증가가 관찰되면서 현장시험을 중심으로 모래의 aging 효과에 대하여 활발한 조사가 이루어졌고, 최근에는 현장시험뿐만 아니라 실내시험에서도 여러 연구자들에 의해 모래의 aging 효과가 규명되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모래의 비배수 반복전단거동에 대한 aging효과를 살펴보기 위해 낙동강 모래를 이용하여 상대밀도$(D_r)$, 압밀응력비$(K_c)$ 그리고 압밀시간을 달리하여 비배수 반복삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과, 비배수 반복전단강도$(R_f)$는 압밀시간에 따라 증가한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 시험결과에서 나타난 aging 에 따른 $R_f$ 증가율을 이용하여 낙동강 모래지반의 지진규모별 비배수 반복전단강도의 현장적용 범위를 제안하였다.
