Summary:碩士 === 國立海洋大學 === 河海工程學系 === 84 === Hydraulic sand fill is one of the most important reclamation method fornearshore area. It is an economical technology. During hydraulic sand fill reclamation process, the loss of fine sand is due to the operation of machines and transportation of soil. Thus, the properities of filled materials is influenced by the fine sand content. Therefore, to evaluate the effect of fine content on dynamics properties of soil in the reclaimation area, is important for engineering purposes. In this study, the filled material inYun-Ling nearshore area was adopted as testing samples. A successful hydraulic sand fill simulation method were developed in the laboratory, to discuss the packing properties of the soil aggregates. Different fine sand content (F.C.=0%, 10%, 20%, 30%), different relative density (Dr=40%, 60%, 80%)and consolidation stress ratio (K=1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) were taken into consideration. A series of Resonant Column Triaxial Test were performed by used of Resonant Column Triaxial Test Apparatus Model DTC-158, to discuss the Shear Modulus (G) and Damping Ratio (D) of the filled material under initial shear stress. Normalizing the experiment results, we have the relation curve of G/Gmax vsShear Strain (γ) and the curve lies within the upper bound of the curve suggested by Seed and Idriss, the D-γ curve lies on the lower bound of the suggested curve. The influence of shear strain and relative density (void ratio) on dynamics properties of filled soil, has similar effect on general soil as well. Shear modulus of filled soil will decrease as the shear strain increases, the damping ratio will increase as the shear strain increases. The void ratio decreases as the shear modulus increases. The shear modulus of filled soil increases as the relative density increases. That is, the void ratio decreases, the value of Gmax increases. But, the effect of Void Ratio on Damping Ratio were not distinct. In this study, to simulate the reclaimed soil under different initial shearstress, different consolidation stress ratio were added. As shown in the test results, the shear modulus of the reclaimed soil would increase as the consolidation stress ratio increases. Similarly, Gmax increases as the consolidation stress ratio increases, but would not influence by the different initial relative density. From the test results, the increment on Gmax cause by consolidation stress ratio is larger than the increment cause by different void ratio. The influence of consolidation stress ratio on damping ratio is not distinct. Under the same shear strain amplitude, the shear modulus of the reclaimedsoil would decrease as the fines content increases. For 0% of fine content, there is a maximum value of shear modulus. The decrease on Gmax cause by fines content is larger than the increament cause by different void ratio. The damping ratio increases as the fine content increases, but the influence is not distinct. Under different shear strain amplitude, the normalized shear modulus ratioand shear strain stress amplitude relation curve is discussed. Under different fine content, G/ Gmax would decrease as the fines content increases. Compare the normalized curve with the bound suggested by Seed and Idriss, as the fines content increases, the normalized curve approaches the average curve suggested by Seed and Idriss. By using different specimen preparation method, as shown in the results, thespecimen prepared by Hydraulic sand fill method would have larger maximum shear modulus and shear modulus. This is due to the soil aggregates in the test sample would help the shear wave transmition. The influence on damping ratio is not distinct. By using the test results, the relation between maximum shear modulus andelastic modulus is proposed. By using the figures in this paper, the maximum shear modulus of reclaimed soil can be estimated by traditional triaxial test. Summarizing all the analyzed results, this study is mainly based on the datafrom the Resonant Column Triaxial Test, to discuss the influences of relative density, fine content and consolidation stress ratio on the dynamics properties of reclaimed soil. And establish evaluation method, figures and tables of dynamics properties for reclaimed soil, for reference purposes during foundation and structure design on reclaimed area.
