Resumo:
The knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of residual soils is of great importance in geotechnical projects, because of its abundance in tropical regions, such as Brazil and particularly in the area of Rio de Janeiro. The present work presents a study on the fundamental stress-strain behaviour of a residual soil resulting from a profile of a gneiss rock in Rio de Janeiro. As the gneiss residual soils preservethe bedding planes from the parent rock, the relevance of considering anisotropy in the stress- strain characteristics of these soils was investigated. The cubic triaxial equipment developed at PUC-Rio was used in this research. This equipment allows the independent control of the three principal stresses, allowing the reprodution of three-dimensional stress paths, usually associated with geotechnical works in the field. The experimental program consisted of axial and hidrostatic tests, under drained loading conditions, using the cubic triaxial equipment. One- dimensional oedometer tests were also performed, in order to obtain the compressibility characteristics of the residual soil. Undisturbed specimens were prepared with the bedding planes parallel or perpendicular to the loading direction. Analysis of the test results showed the effects of load direction, confining stress level, weathering degree, structural soil fabric and saturation degree. It may be concluded that the gneiss residual soils which were selected for this research do not present significant effects of anisotropy in the strength characteristics. In the stress- strain characteristics, however, it may be concluded that the young residual soil showed effects of anisotropy.
