Abstract
In this study, a constant rate of strain test (CRS) and oedometer test was performed in order to study the consolidation characteristics to the liquid limit using a re-shaped clay which was preconsolidated at a constant pressure. Consolidation samples were made of kaolinite which was mixed with bentonite of 6 %, 9 %, 12 % and 15 % of it by weight and the test value of liquid limit of samples were appeared in 77 %, 84 %, 88 % and 91 % respectively. And then consolidation samples which were agitated sufficiently adding distilled water 2 times of liquid limit were preconsolidated in the condition of a constant pressure of 0.2 MPa. The oedometer test which is commonly used recently and the consolidation test of constant rate of strain which were applied in 0.001 %/min, 0.004 %/min, 0.01 %/min rate of strain according to ASTM, D4186-82 were performed and the preconsolidation pressures were compared and analyzed at 0.2 MPa preconsolidated pressure. As a result, in the case of low value of liquid limit, preconsolidation pressure was appeared same as 0.2 MPa preconsolidated pressure at the high speed strain rate, and in the case of high value of liquid limit, preconsolidation pressure was appeared same as 0.2 MPa preconsolidated pressure at the low speed strain rate.
본 연구에서는 점토의 액성한계에 따른 압밀특성을 연구하기 위하여 일정한 압력으로 예압밀 된 재성형 점토를 이용하여 표준압밀시험과 일정변형률 압밀시험을 수행하였다. 압밀시료들은 카올리나이트에 중량대비 6 %, 9 %, 12 %, 15 %의 벤토나이트를 혼합하여 제작하였으며, 시료들의 액성한계시험을 수행한 결과 각각 77 %, 84 %, 88 %, 91 %의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 액성한계의 약 2배의 증류수를 첨가 후 충분히 교반하여 0.2 MPa의 일정한 압력조건하에 예압밀시켜 제작하였다. 최근 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 표준압밀시험과 ASTM, D4186-82에 따라 변형률 속도를 0.001 %/min, 0.004 %/min, 0.01 %/min을 적용하여 일정변형률 압밀시험을 수행하고 선행압밀하중을 0.2 MPa의 예압밀압력에 대해서 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 액성한계가 낮을수록 빠른 변형률 속도에서 선행압밀하중이 예압밀압력과 유사하게 나타났으며, 액성한계가 높을수록 느린 변형률 속도에서 선행압밀하중이 예압밀압력과 유사하게 나타났다.
