Abstract

Unconfined compression test (UC) has been widely used to determine the undrained shear strength ($c_u$) of clay, because it is convenient and economical. However, UC can not represent the behaviour of in-situ stress condition and the strength obtained by the test is generally underestimated compared to that of triaxial compression, due to no confining pressure. Therefore, a simple and practical method to correct the ($c_u$) for sample disturbance and to be used in geotechnical practice is needed. This study is aimed at proposing the method to estimate in-situ undrained shear strength from UC with suction measurement. The proposed method is based on theoretical shear strength equation of perfect sample (Noorany & Seed, 1965), and effective overburden stress and analysis results ($A_f,\phi'$) of effective stress behaviour by UC are needed for the equation. The shear resistance angle ($\phi'$) can be simply estimated through the result that $K_f$-line slope of the UC is 1.6 times higher than that of triaxial compression test. The result of this study shows that the measured strength by this method is very similar to that of the undrained shear strength by triaxial compression test (CK$_0$UC).

일축압축시험은 방법이 비교적 간단하고 경제적이기 때문에 점토지반의 비배수 전단강도($c_u$)를 결정하는데 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 구속압이 없는 상태에서 시험이 시행되기 때문에 지중응력 조건을 재현할 수 없고, 또한 삼축압축시험에 의한 강도보다 과소평가 되는 경우가 많다. 따라서, $c_u$를 시료교란에 대해 보정하여 실무에서 간단히 사용할 수 있는 강도 보정법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 흡수력 측정을 겸한 일축압축시험 만으로 원지반의 비배수 전단강도(이하, 원지반 강도)를 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 완전시료의 이론적 전단강도식(Noorany와 Seed, 1965)을 기본으로 하며, 유효토피압과 일축압축시험의 유효응력거동 분석 결과( $A_f,\phi'$)를 필요로 한다. 특히, 전단저항각($\phi'$)은 일축압축시험의 수정파괴포락선($K_f$) 기울기가 삼축압축시험에 비해 약 1.6배정도 더 크게 평가된다는 시험결과를 근거로 하여 간단히 유추할 수 있다. 연구 결과, 제안된 방법에 의해 추정된 원지반 강도는 삼축압축시험(CK$_0$UC)의 비배수 전단강도와 유사한 값을 나타냈다.
