Abstract

Pressuremeter test estimates deformational properties of soil from the relationship between applied pressure and the displacement of cavity wall, and the results reflect the in-situ stress condition and the structure of soil particles. This study suggests the overall process of test and analysis for the evaluation of nonlinear degradation characteristics of shear moduli, based on the reloading curve of pressuremeter test. The method estimates the maximum shear modulus, taking into account the difference between the stress states around the probe in reloading and that of the in-situ state, and then combines the degradation characteristics of shear moduli taken from reloading curve. This procedure derives the shear moduli in overall strain range. Pressuremeter tests were carried out in various ground conditions using large calibration chamber, together with various reference tests. Shear moduli taken from pressuremeter tests were compared with bender element test and resonant column test results.

프레셔미터 시험은 하중에 따른 변위 곡선에 기초하여 지반의 변형특성을 평가할 수 있는 시험 방법으로 현장의 응력 상태 및 토체의 입자 구조를 그대로 반영하여 지반의 비선형적인 변형특성을 평가할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교란의 영향을 최소화 할 수 있는 하중 재재하 곡선을 이용하여 전단탄성계수의 감쇠 특성을 평가할 수 있는 시험및 해석 방법을 제안하고 있다. 하중 제하-재재하 과정에서 발생될 수 있는 원지반과의 응력 차이를 고려하여 최대 전단탄성계수를 산정하고, 재재하 곡선의 감쇠 특성과 결합하여 변형률 크기에 따라 감쇠되는 전단탄성계수의 특성을 평가하고 있다. 이를 위하여, 대형 압력 토조를 이용하여 다양한 지반 조건에서 프레셔미터 시험을 수행하였으며, 벤더 엘리먼트 시험및 공진주 시험을 통하여 전단탄성계수 감쇠 특성을 평가, 비교하였다.
