Evaluation of mechanical propertiesof sand loosened due to piping
ソイルパイプを有する土供試体の力学特性
Piping, known as a complex phenomenon of internal erosion, presents a great risk for hydraulic structures. In order to investigatethe mechanical properties of sand with internal pipes, artificial piping was created by dissolving glucose column in a hollow-cylindrical specimen of Toyoura sand. In this research, triaxial compression(TC), triaxial extension(TE) and torsional shear(TS)tests were conducted on specimens with vertical pipes before shearing. Piping propagation during water infiltration was observedwith Glip Gauges, and gap sensors were used to obtain shear modulus before and after piping effect by conducting small torsionalcyclic loadings. Finally, monotonic torsional shear were applied to all the specimens until failure.

6. Summary
1. Soil pipe
Piping, which often occurs in hydraulic works,involving the removal of subsurface soils in acontinuous tunnel to a free or escape exit.
Landslide caused by piping has drawn muchattention recently.

2. Testing apparatus and stress path
3. Testing procedure
Specimen with relative densities around 75% weretested, and the number of internal pipe(Dia.=4.5mm) was 0 and 2.
Specimens were erected at isotropic stress of 30kPaand then the confining pressure was increased to60kPa.
After isotropic consolidation around 12 hours,1300ml water was infiltrated into specimen, withthe aim of completely dissolving the glucose pipe.
Triaxial compression and triaxial extension wasconducted while kept p’ constant; for simple sheartest, τ was applied at .
Small torsional cyclic loading were conducted atthe initial dry state, after water infiltrition andduring TC (triaxial compression), TE (triaxialextension) and TS(torsional shear) under certainstress state.
Monotonic torsional shear test were applied for allthe specimens at last.
4. Results
Specimen with glucose pipe
盛土や斜面に繰返し雨水が浸透することにより土粒子が流出しパイプ状の水みちができる場合があり、ソイルパイプと呼ばれる。浸透した雨水を速やかに排水する効果が期待されるものの、何らかの理由で水みちが閉塞された場合は一転して危険であるうえ、土構造内に空隙を有することになり構造上の弱点となりうる。本研究では、中空ねじり試験供試体内にグルコースを溶解させることにより人工的なパイプ生成を試み、供試体の変形強度特性に対するパイプの数や拘束圧、土の密度の影響を調べた。
