静止侧压力系数K0是表征土体内水平向应力与垂向应力间关系的一个重要参数,对岩土工程实施的各个环节都具有非常重要的意义。珊瑚砂是一种独特的岩土材料类型,颗粒强度低且棱角发育,具有不同于石英砂的岩土工程特性。采用水囊式高压固结仪开展不同相对密度及含水量珊瑚砂的静止侧压力系数试验研究。结果表明:①珊瑚砂的静止侧压力系数介于0.2-0.29之间,相比石英砂的要小;②珊瑚砂的静止侧压力系数随含水量的增加而增大,但增量较小;③密实度对珊瑚中砂的静止侧压力系数的影响较小。
The at-rest lateral earth pressure coefficient is an important soil parameter that indicating the relationship between the vertical and lateral stresses in the soil mass and poses an important role throughout every aspect of geotechnical engineering. The coral sand is a unique geotechnical material with a relatively low individual grain strength and welldeveloped angularity, therefore, the engineering properties of the coral sands are significantly different from those of quartz sand of land origins. This paper presents the laboratory at-rest lateral earth coefficient test results of coral sand samples under various relative density and moisture contents throughout the Anteus high-pressure consolidation test devices. The results indicated that: 1) the tested at-rest lateral earth pressure coefficients are between 0.20 and 0.29 and these values are smaller than those of from quartz sand samples. 2) The at-rest lateral earth pressure coefficient of coral sand samples increases with the moisture content, but the increment is not significant. 3) The effect of density of samples on the magnitude of lateral earth pressure is not significant.
