Abstract

For geotechnical design in practice, soils are, in general, assumed to behave as a linear elastic or perfect plastic material. More realistic geotechnical design, however, should take into account various factors that affect soil behavior in the field, such as non-linearity of stress-strain response, stress history, and water content. In this study, a series of laboratory tests including triaxial and resonant column tests were peformed with sands of various silt contents, relative densities, stress states, OCR and water contents. This aims at investigating effects of various factors that affect strength and stiffness of sands. From the results in this study, it is found that the effect of OCR is significant for the intermediate stress-strain range from the initial to failure, while it may be ignored for the initial stiffness and peak strength. For the effect of water content, it is observed that the initial elastic modulus decreases with increasing water content at lower confining stress and relative density At higher confining stresses, the effect of water content Is found to become small.

지반설계에 있어 지반거동은 일반적으로 단순화된 선형탄성이나 완전소성으로 간주되어 적용되고 있으나, 비선형 응력-변형률 거동, 응력이력 및 함수비 등의 현장 지반조건 또한 정밀한 지반설계를 위해서는 적절히 반영되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 삼축압축시험과 공진주시험을 포함한 일련의 실내시험을 통하여 실트함유량, 상대밀도, 응력상태등 다양한 지반조건과 과압밀비 및 함수비의 변화와 같은 현장 지반조건을 고려하여 사질토의 강도 및 강성도 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 최대전단강도 및 초기전단탄성계수에 대한 과압밀의 영향은 미소하게 나타났으나, 초기 미소변형률 이후부터 파괴까지의 비선형 탄성구간에서는 과압밀의 영향이 무시할 수 없는 영향인자임을 확인할 수 있었다. 함수비의 경우 구속압과 상대밀도가 낮은 경우 함수비가 증가함에 따라 초기전단탄성계수는 세립분 증가와 함께 감소하였으며, 구속압이 증가할수록 함수비의 영향은 감소하였다.
