Influência da sucção nos parâmetros de compressibilidade de um solo não saturado

Influência da sucção nos parâmetros de compressibilidade de um solo não saturado

Abstract

Nos solos não saturados mudanças sazonais de umidade ocorrem devido a ciclos de umedecimento e secagem. Tais mudanças dependem das características do solo e das condições climáticas da região, o que afeta a sucção no solo. Por esta razão, as propriedades dos solos não saturados dependem não apenas da história geológica e do ambiente de formação, mas também da variabilidade sazonal, fato que muitas vezes é negligenciado na prática da engenharia. Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo da influência da sucção na compressibilidade de um perfil de solo não saturado por meio de ensaios edométricos realizados em câmaras comuns e em câmaras que permitem o controle de sucção pela técnica de translação de eixos. Os ensaios foram realizados submetendo as amostras a trajetórias de carregamento-descarregamento com sucção constante. Parâmetros constitutivos mecânicos são apresentados e correlacionados ao longo da profundidade de acordo com as condições de campo. Os resultados indicam que a colapsibilidade e a variabilidade dos parâmetros são maiores na superfície do terreno, onde o solo interage com a atmosfera e, tende a decrescer com a profundidade e com a redução da sucção inicial no solo. O estudo realizado permite uma avaliação mais detalhada da colapsibilidade do solo e auxilia a interpretação de perfis de solos colapsíveis similares e de suas propriedades e parâmetros constitutivos.

Seasonal moisture content changes take place in the unsaturated soils as a result of wetting and drying cycles. These changes depend of soil characteristics and climatic conditions of the region, which affects the soil suction. Therefore, the properties of unsaturated soils depend not only on geological history and environment formation, but also the seasonal variability, a fact that is oftentimes neglected in engineering practice. This research presents an study of the influence of suction on compressibility of a collapsible unsaturated soil profile using conventional and suction controlled oedometer tests by the axis translation technique. The tests were performed submitting the specimen to loading-unloading paths under constant suction. Mechanical constitutive parameters are presented and correlated with the depth according to the in situ conditions. The results indicate that the soil collapsibility and the variability of constitutive parameters are greather on the ground surface, where the soil interacts with the atmosphere, and tends to decrease with depth and with the reduction of the initial soil suction. The study allow a more detailed evaluation of soil collapsibility and assist the interpretation of collapsible soils profiles and their properties and constitutive parameters.
