Abstract

In this study, a series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests were performed with three different consolidation stress ratios ($K_c$=1.0, 1.5, 2.0) to investigate the undrained shear strength characteristics of sands with respect to the amount of contained silt located around the basin of Nak-dong River. The test results show that the more the sand has silt, the lower is cyclic shear stress ratio (CSR) in all $K_c$ and that the higher $K_c$ goes, the larger CSR decreases due to the increase of contained silt. The excessive pore pressure caused during shearing has an influence on the decrease of CSR by the high initial pore pressure in proportion to the amount of contained silt regardless of the $K_c$ value. After consolidation, the analysis of the skeleton void ratio of the sample reveals that the main cause of the decrease of CSR as well as the increase of the initial excessive pore pressure is the increase of the skeleton void ratio in proportion to the amount of contained silt.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 분포하는 모래와 실트를 대상으로 실트 함유량에 따른 모래의 비배수 반복전단강도 특성을 파악하기 위하여 이방압밀비($K_c$=1.0, 1.5, 2.0)를 달리하여 일련의 비배수 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 모든 $K_c$에서 실트 함유량이 증가함에 따라 반복전단응력비(CSR)가 감소하였으며, $K_c$가 증가할수록 실트 함유량 증가에 의한 CSR의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다. 전단시 발생되는 과잉간극수압은 $K_c$에 관계없이 실트 함유량 증가에 따라 초기 과잉간극수압이 크게 발생되어 CSR의 감소에 영향을 미쳤으며, 또한 압밀 후 시료의 skeleton 간극비를 산정하여 분석한 결과 실트 함유량 증가에 비례하여 전반적으로 skeleton 간극비가 크게 증가하여 초기 과잉간극수압의 증가와 더블어 CSR 감소의 주요원인으로 파악되었다.
