Abstract
In order to study the effect of water retaining agent content on the shear characteristics of soil-rock structural interface, the water retaining agent contents were set to be 0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, and the water contents were set to be 4%, 7%, 10%, 13%, 16%, and 19%, and the interfacial direct shear experiments were carried out under the normal stresses of 50 kPa, 100 kPa, 150 kPa, and 200 kPa. The results show that: when the water retaining agent content is 0.3%, the shear strength of soil-rock interface is the highest, and the value is close to that without water retaining agent when the water content is 4%-13%; with further increase in water content, the shear strength of soil-rock interface with 0.3% water retaining agent content is higher than that without water retaining agent; the internal friction angle at the soil-rock interface with the water retaining agent content of 0.3% is close to that without water retaining agent, and higher than that with other contents; the soil-rock interfacial cohesion at 0.1% and 0.3% water retaining agent is higher than that without water retaining agent; the residual strength ratio at the soil-rock interface without water retaining agent is less than that at the soil-rock interface with the water retaining agent content of 0.3%. The nonlinear constitutive. model of soil-rock interface shear is found by using a hyperbolic model combined with experimental parameters in this paper. Comparing the model data with the experimental data, it is found that the model fits well.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
