Shear plane characteristics of geocell-reinforced fine sand through direct shear test

Structural plane is a key factor in controlling the stability of rock mass engineering. To study the influence of structural plane microscopic parameters on direct shear strength, this paper established the direct shear mechanical model of the structural plane by using the discrete element code PFC2D. From the mesoscopic perspective, the research on the direct shear test for structural plane has been conducted. The bonding strength and friction coefficient of the structural plane are investigated, and the effect of mesoscopic parameters on the shear mechanical behavior of the structural plane has been analyzed. The results show that the internal friction angle φ of the structural plane decreases with the increase of particle contact stiffness ratio. However, the change range of cohesion is small. The internal friction angle decreases first and then increases with the increase of parallel bond stiffness ratio. The influence of particle contact modulus EC on cohesion c is relatively small. The internal friction angle obtained by the direct shear test is larger than that obtained by the triaxial compression test. Parallel bond elastic modulus has a stronger impact on friction angle φ than that on cohesion c. Under the same normal stress conditions, the shear strength of the specimens increases with particle size. The shear strength of the specimen gradually decreases with the increase of the particle size ratio.

The Relationship

Development of slope disintegration is close to soil mechanic characteristics such as shear strength indices. Soil grain diameter and water content were tested. Soil direct shear test was conducted to analyze the relationship between shear strength indices and the influencing factors. The experimental data indicate that clay content and the range affect soil cohesion value and the scope. Soil cohesion increases with bulk density before 1.6g/cm3. But it decreases when the bulk after that. The results could provide a scientific basis for control of slope disintegration.

Typical Soil

In order to test the reducing adhesion and resistance effect of bionic metal non-smooth surface, the direct shear test is experimented on a kind of bionic dredging tools with typical soil and bionic concave pit-like metal surface.The relation of shear force and shear displacement on a certain pressure is presented. The result will help to design the structure of cutting soil tools’ surfaces with less adhesion and resistance.

Direct Shear

Pasir merupakan salah satu bahan geoteknik yang memiliki peranan yang sangat penting, misalnya sebagai bahan timbunan urugan, timbunan backfill di belakang dinding penahan, maupun bahan filter. Pasir berasal dari berbagai sumber dan proses geologi yang berbeda, sehingga pasir vulkanik dan pasir pantai akan memiliki karakteristik fisik, mineralogi, dan bentuk butiran yang berbeda pula. Penelitian ini melakukan serangkaian uji di laboratorium dengan benda uji berupa material pasir: (1) pasir vulkanik sungai aliran lahar dari hasil erupsi Gunung Kelud di Kali Putih Blitar, (2) pasir pantai dari beberapa pantai di Kabupaten Malang yaitu Pantai Wonogoro, Pantai Jolangkung, dan Pantai Goa Cina. Aspek bentuk butiran meliputi roundness, sphericity, dan tekstur. Analisis pengujian dari SEM dan X-RD untuk menentukan karakteristik mikro-fisik dan bentuk butiran pasir secara mendetail. Pengujian geser langsung (direct shear test) untuk menentukan kuat geser dari tanah pasir. Pasir vulkanik memiliki permukaan butiran yang lebih kasar dari pasir pantai sehingga sudut geser dalam yang didapatkan lebih besar dari sampel pasir pantai. Karena tanah pasir tidak memiliki kohesi maka kekuatannya hanya pada sudut geser dalam; dengan demikian, pengaruh aspek mikro-fisik dan bentuk butiran pasir terhadap karakteristik kuat gesernya harus diperhitungkan untuk aplikasinya sebagai material geoteknik.
