Abstract

Based on thermodynamics, the mathematical framework governing the hydro-mechanical behavior of partially saturated soil is derived by using balance equations, and the numerical analysis through implementation of various effective stress definitions is performed. Effective stress on partially saturated soil describes the soil strength which is presented by the relationship between water content and soil suction. For the estimation of hydro-mechanical behavior on partially saturated soil, effective stress parameter ${\chi}$ defined from various literatures is especially analyzed to understand the conditions of constitutive equations regarding residual saturation and displacement of soil. As a result, effective stress parameter ${\chi}$ has an influence on the variation of matric suction in soil with an external load and seepage. However it was found that the effect of each parameter ${\chi}$ varies with residual degree of saturation, and that of each parameter ${\chi}$ decreased with decrease in displacement of soil caused by an external load.

열역학적 가정을 토대로 평형방정식을 이용하여 지반의 침투와 흙의 거동을 지배하는 불포화토 유한요소해석을 위한 수학적인 알고리즘을 개발하고, 여러 가지 유효응력 개념들을 수치해석을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 불포화토의 유효응력은 지반의 강도를 나타내며 지반이 함유하고 있는 수분과 모관흡수력의 중요한 구성관계를 표현한다. 특히, 불포화 지반내에서 물의 침투가 흙의 알갱이 거동을 예측하기 위해 여러 문헌에서 제안하고 있는 유효응력계수 ${\chi}$의 특성을 지반의 잔류포화도와 변위에 관련된 구성방정식 조건을 이해하기 위해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 불포화토 유효응력계수 ${\chi}$는 외부하중과 침투가 있는 지반내에서 모관흡수력의 분포를 변화시키지만, 지반의 잔류포화도에 따라 유효응력계수의 차이점을 보이며, 외부하중에 의한 지반 변위가 작아지면 유효응력계수 ${\chi}$는 지반내의 모관흡수력에 대한 영향력이 작아진다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
