Characteristics of Shear Strength of Coarse Grained Materials Depending on Experimental Densities

시험밀도에 따른 조립재료의 전단강도 특성

The density of coarse grained materials which is used in rock-fill dam or the piling the ground are used as $1.85\sim2.10g/cm^3$. Hereupon, the effect of variation of density on shear strength of ones was analyzed from the results of large scale shear test. The sample for the test was obtained from the local quarry sites. The test conditions are that density(1.85 versus $2.10g/cm^3$), material size range$(76.3\sim2.0\;mm)$, water content(air dry condition) and uniformity coefficient(5.0) Test result shows that the shear strength of $2.10g/cm^3$ is relatively larger than that of $1.85g/cm^3$.
