Abstract

The standard CPT(Cone Penetration Test), which can be easily performed to investigate in-situ soil engineering properties, has been widely used. CPT are also widely being utilized in centrifuge model tests. In this study, a miniature cone with 10mm diameter was developed and its applicability in the centrifuge was evaluated. The developed miniature cone was equipped with a four degree-of-freedom in-flight robot. A series of cone penetration tests was performed under four centrifuge acceleration levels. As results, the cone resistances measured at the same confining stress within shallow penetration depth were affected by the centrifugal accelerations. The critical depth was proportional to the cone diameter and relative density. Cone resistances results below the critical depth and soil parameters obtained from the laboratory tests were compared with those by previously proposed empirical relations.

현장지반의 공학적 특성을 파악하기 위한 콘 관입시험(Cone Penetration Test; CPT)은 원지반의 연속적인 강도 특성을 분석하여 다양한 지반변수를 손쉽게 획득할 수 있다는 점에서 널리 활용되고 있으며, 원심모형실험에서도 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원심모형실험에서 콘선단저항치를 계측할 수 있는 직경이 10 mm인 소형 콘을 개발하고 원심모형실험에서의 적용성을 평가하였다. 개발된 콘으로 4자유도 로봇을 활용하여 원심모형 가속 상태에서 콘 관입시험을 수행하였다. 이 때, 원심가속도 수준을 4회 변화시켜 다양한 유효응력상태에서 콘 관입시험을 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 얕은 관입깊이의 동일한 유효응력에서 콘 선단저항치는 g-level에 영향을 받으며, 선단저항치가 임계 깊이 도달하는 깊이는 g-level과 상대밀도가 커질수록 깊어짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 각 실험에서 임계 깊이에 도달한 선단저항치와 실내실험에서 획득한 지반물성을 이용하여 기존 경험식과 비교하였다.
