Resumo: | ||||||||
In this present work one searched to evaluate the
characteristics of shear
strength and the suction-moisture relation of a tropical
mature soil found in
experimental field II of PUC-Rio, located in the city of
Rio de Janeiro. For the
determination of the shear strength of this soil, direct
shear test in submerged
samples using conventional equipment and direct shear tests
with controlled
suction in samples with natural moisture had been executed.
The direct shear tests
with controlled suction had been executed using the
equipment developed in
PUC-Rio for De Campos (1988), in which it uses the
technique of translation of
axles developed by Hilf (1956) for the control of the
applied suction. Tests for the
measurement of the suction which uses the filter paper
method was carried
through for the determination of the suction-moisture
relation. Through the results
of this test, the determination of the soil-water
characteristic curve of this soil was
possible. Diametrical compression test had also been
carried through in order to
establish a relation between the tensile strength of this
soil versus its suction.
Through the analysis of the experimental results, the
determination of the shear
strength envelope in tri-dimensions was possible
considering the proposal of
Fredlund et al. (1978), on which it bases on the use of the
variables of tension
(normal tension n - ua) and (ua - uw).
