Abstract

The consolidation tests are conducted to investigate the soil particle crushing stress for understanding the secondary compression characteristics of carbonate sandy sabkha soil caused by particle crushing under a high confining stress. The rate of secondary crushing compression ($C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$) is introduced instead of the rate of secondary compression to define the characteristic of the particle crushing compression settlement ($S_s{^*}$). Void ratio ($e_p{^*}$) and settlement ($H_p{^*}$) in particle crushing are used as a reference point of secondary behavior, and the ratio of primary compression index ($C_c$) to secondary crushing compression ($C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$), $C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}/C_c$ value was changed from 0.0105 to 0.0187. When comparing with quartz sands, secondary compression settlement of sabkha is very large due to particle crushing which is not usually observed in quartz sand. It is observed that as the depth of sabkha layer becomes deep, the $S_s{^*}$ and $C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$ increase under the same stress level.

Sabkha층 탄산질 모래의 입자파쇄발생시 이차압축특성을 파악하기 위하여 압밀시험을 수행하여 입자파쇄응력을 파악하였다. 입자파쇄 항복응력에서 순간적으로 발생한 입자파쇄 압축침하를 해석하기 위하여 이차압축률 대신 이차 파쇄압축률 $C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$를 도입하였다. 입자파쇄 발생시의 간극비 $e_p{^*}$와 침하량 $H_p{^*}$가 이차압축거동의 기준점으로 사용되었다. 일차압축지수와 이차파쇄압축률을 비교한 결과 현장 Sabkha층의 경우 $C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}/C_c$ 값이 0.0105~0.0187로 나타났으며 일반적인 석영질 사질토에 비해 입자파쇄 발생으로 인한 이차압축거동이 매우 크게 나타났다. 동일한 재하응력에서는 Sabkha층의 심도가 깊을수록 입자파쇄침하량과 이차파쇄압축률이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
