Abstract:

As a special soil,red clay is widely distributed in some areas of China.Due to the engineering problems such as slope cracking,subgrade subsidence and insufficient foundation bearing capacity,the strength characteristics of red clay is one of the main problems concerned by engineers,and the stability of red clay is closely related to safety production.In order to explore the influence of water content on the repeated shear strength of red clay,the repeated direct shear test was carried out on remolded red clay in Changzhi area of Shanxi Province.Because the water content of undisturbed soil in this area is between 17.0% and 23.7%,and the plastic limit water content is 20.34%,considering the law of test results and the influence of plastic limit,soil samples with five water contents of 15.0%,18.0%,19.5%,21.0% and 24.0% were prepared for test.The test results show that when no vertical pressure is applied, repeated direct shear is conducted on the sample,and the test is stopped when the sample’s strength gradually stabilizes.When there is no vertical pressure,the shear strength decreases and tends to be stable with the increase of shear times.The displacement of secondary shear to shear strength is less than that of the first shear,and the stable shear displacement is greater than that of the first shear.In the process of shearing,the shear strength has a negative linear relationship with the water content.When there is no vertical pressure,the shear strength is equal to the cohesion,and the shear strength is defined as the true cohesion.The vertical pressure of 50,100,150 and 200 kPa was applied to carry out the direct shear test.When there is vertical pressure,the shear strength decreases with the increase of water content.The internal friction angle and cohesion of shear strength index were obtained by physical expression fitting,and compared with the internal friction angle obtained by true cohesion and no vertical pressure.The internal friction angle obtained by the two kinds of analysis is basically close,and decreases with the increase of water content,and the decreasing range gradually increases.Due to the dilatancy effect in the test process,the true cohesion first increases and then decreases with the increase of water content,and the cohesion first decreases and then increases with the increase of water content.The contrast analysis shows that the difference of cohesion is obvious,so the difference index ratio of cohesion and true cohesion with vertical pressure is 0.75~9.96,and the change rule of the difference index ratio of cohesion is the same as the fitting cohesion,and the difference index ratio reaches the minimum when the water content is 19.5%.The empirical formula can provide some reference for the reasonable selection of soil parameters in the process of geotechnical investigation,design and excavation of mines in red clay area.
