Abstract

Coarse granular geomaterials containing large gravels are broadly used for construction of large geotechnical systems such as dams, levees, railways and backfills. It is necessary to evaluate deformation characteristics of these materials for dynamic analysis, e.g. seismic design. This study presents evaluation of dynamic deformation characteristics of coarse materials using large scale resonant column testing apparatus, which uses specimens with 200 mm in diameter and 400 mm in height, and the effects of gradation characteristics on maximum shear modulus, shear modulus reduction curve and damping characteristics were investigated. From experimental study using rock-fill materials for a dam, we could see that the largest or mean particle size affects the shape of shear modulus reduction curve. When the specimens are prepared under the same conditions for maximum particle size, the coefficient of uniformity affects the confining stress exponent of maximum shear modulus. It could be concluded that the maximum particle size is an factor which affects shear modulus reduction curve, and that the coefficient of uniformity is for small strain shear modulus, especially for the sensitivity to confining stress.

굵은 자갈 이상의 대입경 입자를 포함하는 조립질 지반재료는 댐, 제방, 철도 등 대형 지반구조물의 성토 및 채움재료로 널리 사용되며, 이러한 구조물의 동적 해석을 위해서는 축조재료의 변형특성에 대한 엄밀한 평가가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 대입경 조립재료의 동적 변형특성 평가를 위하여 지름 200mm, 높이 400mm의 공시체에 대한 시험이 가능하도록 개발된 대형 공진주시험기를 활용하여 댐 축조용 사력재의 최대전단탄성계수, 전단탄성계수감소곡선 및 감쇠비를 평가하였으며, 재료의 최대입경과 균등계수와 같은 입도분포특성이 재료의 변형특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 재료의 입경이 동적 변형특성에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, 동일한 균등계수에서 평균입경의 범위에 따른 전단탄성계수감소곡선에 차이가 발생함을 확인하였다. 동일한 최대입경에 대하여 균등계수를 달리하는 경우 균등계수에 따라 최대전단탄성계수의 구속압 영향계수가 증가함을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 조립재료의 입도 특성 중 최대입경은 전단탄성계수감소곡선을, 균등계수는 미소변형영역의 구속압 영향계수에 대한 영향요소임을 확인하였으며, 조립재료의 동적 변형특성을 엄밀히 평가하기 위한 대형 공진주시험기의 효용성을 확인하였다.
