ABSTRACT: Soils at critical state are like a visco-lastic fluids, which will flow for alied stresses greater than the critical state (CS) shear strength. Shear viscosity is a key arameter to understand the ost-failure flow resonse of soils in geotechnical alications such as landslides, jacked iles and cone enetrometers. Viscosity of soil has been investigated for water contents greater than the liquid limit because at these water contents standard viscometers can be used. However, soils can reach CS for water contents in the lastic range and thereafter exhibit viscous behavior without further changes in water contents. There is no standard method to determine shear viscosity of clays at water contents lower that the liquid limit. A new analytical method is roosed to determine the viscous drag (force) on the enetrating cone in a fall cone test. Based on this analysis, it is ossible to interret the shear viscosity of clays with water contents less than the liquid limit from a enetration test. Time-enetration data from a fall cone test was used to determine the shear viscosity of clays with liquidity index less than 1.5. The test results show that the shear viscosity decreases exonentially with an increase in liquidity index. 1 Introduction There is certain class of roblems in geotechnical engineering in which the soil is subjected to large strains (beyond failure) and the flows. Such roblems include landslides and flow of soft clays around enetrating rigid bodies such as the shaft surface of a jacked ile or a sleeve of a cone enetrometer. When a rigid shaft enetrates a fine grained soil, the soil mass at and near the ti is subjected to high stresses and fails. Soil then flows around the shaft surface during continuous enetration (Mahajan and Budhu 6). The relationshi between the resistance of the continuous enetrating rigid body and the rate of enetration deends on the stress-strain (solid) relationshi and the flow (viscous) roerties of the soil (Marsland and Quarterman, 198). The total shaft resistance is due to the static shear stress (interfacial solid friction) and viscous shear stress. Studies related to the dynamic enetration of lates, robes and cone enetrometers in clays (Turnage, 1973; Murff and Coyle, 1973; Berry, 1988) show that viscous resistance is an imortant comonent of the total resistance offered by the soil. The viscous drag force ( f z ) on a rigid body moving through a viscous fluid and exhibiting low Reynolds number creeing flow is given by an equation of the following form (Lamb, 193; Ray, 1936; Hael and Brenner, 1965; Panton, 1984) f = Cμ V (1) z z where μ is the shear viscosity of the fluid, V z is the velocity of the body and C is a constant, which is a function of the geometry of the body with resect to the flow field and the boundary conditions imosed. For an unbounded creeing flow ast a shere of radius, R, C = 6πR (Lamb, 193). Mahajan and Budhu (6) develoed a similar analytical solution to determine the viscous drag on a shaft surface enetrating a clay. The solution was determined through a theoretical analysis based on viscous creeing flow of soil adjacent to the shaft. The analysis considered axial motion of a cylindrical shaft of radius, r, enetrating at a constant seed V z, in a semi-infinite soil mass which has an annulus of radius, R o, that has reached critical state (CS zone) The develoed solution for the viscous drag force (f v ) er unit length of the shaft is 1516
2 where 4 λ -4λ +4lnλ +3 β = (1- λ )(1-λ )(lnλ -1)-lnλ f = πμ V β () v z R in which λ = r Equation () reveals that the soil s viscosity, the rate of shaft enetration and the size of the critical state zone reresented by β orλ, are the key arameters controlling the viscous drag on the enetrating shaft. The term β quantifies the effects of size of the CS zone on the viscous drag. The exression for viscous drag on a enetrating shaft er unit length is similar to equation (1), where C=πβ o. Shear viscosity of soil is required to determine the viscous drag on the enetrating shaft and understand ost-failure behavior of soil. In soils, the viscous drag comonent is often neglected because it is believed to be small in comarison with the interfacial solid friction. However, if the soil s viscosity is significant or the enetration velocity of the object is large, the viscous comonent (drag) could be significant. The key soil arameter for the analysis discussed in this aer is the shear viscosity for which there is no standard method for its determination excet for soils at higher water contents (liquidity indices greater than 1.). In the following, the shear viscosity of soil is discussed and the fall cone test is examined to determine its otential as a tool to estimate the shear viscosity at lower liquidity indices (LI<1.5). Shear viscosity of clays for ost-failure analysis The shear viscosity ( μ ) at critical state is the desired arameter For ost-failure analysis of soils,. According to Edgers and Kalrsrud (198), the shear viscosity of soil lays an imortant role in landslides. Torrance (1987) stated that it is of geotechnical imortance to know the flow roerties (yield stress and viscosity) of soil for the urose of understanding the ost-failure behaviour. Conventionally, viscometers have been used for measuring the yield strength (Vyalov, 1986; Torrance, 1987; Tan et al., 1991; Fakher et al., 1999) and shear viscosity (e.g. Locat and Demers, 1988; Komamura and Huang, 1974) of suer soft clays with high water contents and very low shear strength. However, oerational difficulties (Fakher et al., 1999) limit the use of viscometer to clays with high liquidity index (LI >1.5). Critical state in a soil can be achieved at a liquidity index less than one. Unfortunately, the shear viscosity of soils at critical state cannot be determined using viscometers. In the following ortion of this aer the fall cone (enetration) test (Hansbo, 1957; Houlsby, 198; Koumoto and Houlsby, 1) is exlored to evaluate its otential to estimate the shear viscosity of clays at low liquidity indices. Low liquidity index in the context of this aer refers to liquidity index less than 1.5. In the next section, soil as a viscous fluid is briefly discussed to aid the interretation of the fall cone test data. 3 Viscous fluid model for soil When the alied stress in a visco-lastic fluid is less than a certain critical (fluid yield) stress, it deforms lastically like a solid with definite strain recovery uon the removal of stress. Alied stress exceeding the fluid yield stress will cause the fluid to flow. For simle shear flow, the constitutive equations for yield stress fluids are exressed as (Nguyen and Boger, 199): & γ = τ < τ y ( no flow) (3a) τ = τ + μ γ τ τ & (Bingham fluid) (3b) y y where τ is the total (dynamic) shear stress, γ& is the shear strain rate and state shear stress ( τ cs ) is reresentative of the fluid yield stress ( τ y ). τ y is the yield stress. The critical The ost-failure (flow) resonse of clays can be reresented as illustrated in Figure 1. Plastic fluids similar to curve B (Figure 1), characterized by yield stress and slowly decreasing viscosity, can be reresented by the shear stress-shear strain rate relationshi for lastic flow roosed by Casson (1959) as = y + for y ( τ ) ( τ ) ( μ & γ) ; τ τ (4) This relationshi (called Casson fluid) has been successfully alied to a diverse range of materials (Nguyen and Boger, 199). Locat and Demers (1988) suggested that most sensitive clays behave as a Bingham or a Casson fluid and less sensitive clays can be better reresented by a Casson fluid. Assuming Casson s relationshi is alicable to (less sensitive) clays at low liquidity index, then in order to determine the shear viscosity, the total shear stress, the yield shear stress and the shear strain rate need to be known. 1517

Analogy of the ost-failure resonse of a soil to a yield stress fluid resonse 4 Shear viscosity from the fall cone test The fall cone test is used to determine the index roerties (Wroth and Wood, 1978; Wood, 198; Budhu, 1985; Zreik et al., 1995; Feng, ) and the undrained shear strength (Hansbo, 1957; Houlsby, 198; Wood, 1985; Shimobe, ; Koumoto and Houlsby, 1) of fine-grained soils. Hansbo (1957) showed that the undrained shear strength is related to the final deth of enetration ( h ) of the cone and can be exressed as f f KW τ cs = (5) h where τ cs (or s u ) is the (undrained) critical state shear strength, W is the weight of the cone and K (fall cone factor) is a constant. According to Hansbo (1957), soil s resistance to the enetration of the cone deends on the static shearing resistance (interfacial friction) and viscous resistance. Theoretical and exerimental work (Houlsby, 198; Wood, 1985; Koumoto and Houlsby, 1) showed that the cone factor (K) is influenced by the cone geometry, cone roughness, soil heave around the cone and dynamic effects. The shear resistance (stress) of the soil on the fall cone during motion is higher due to dynamic effects. To correct for higher (dynamic) shear stress and determine shear strength of soil (equation 5), Koumoto and Houlsby (1) roosed a reduction factor, λ, to modify the fall cone factor (K). The factor, λ =.74, was estimated by extending the ublished triaxial test results to a higher level strain rate that aroximates the strain rate occurring in the fall cone test. The fall cone test is a dynamic test. The shear resistance when the cone is in motion is a combination of the static shear resistance and the viscous shear resistance. The aroach taken in this aer is to investigate the viscous shear resistance so that the shear viscosity can be estimated.when a fall cone enetrates the soil, the failed soil mass near the cone ti assumed as a yield stress fluid (Nguyen and Boger, 199) flows around the cone as illustrated in Figure. The equation of motion of a cone at any enetration deth, h, in the soil is ma = mg Fτ h (6) where m is the mass of cone, a is the acceleration of cone at deth, h, g is the acceleration due to gravity, τ is the dynamic (total) shearing resistance and F is the non-dimensional cone resistance factor (Houlsby, 8; Koumoto and Houlsby, 1) given as F = π N ch tan ( θ ) (7) where N ch is the modified bearing caacity factor of the cone, which accounts for the heave around the cone, and θ is the half cone angle. For a 3 o o (i.e. θ = 15 ) semi rough cone, the value of Nch is (Koumoto and Houlsby, 1). 1518
4 Figure. Illustration of the soil state around a fall cone When the motion (free fall) of the cone is initiated, its acceleration decreases from an initial value, g, as the cone enetrates soil. At a certain deth of enetration, h eq, the acceleration of the cone decreases to zero. This deth will be referred to as the dynamic equilibrium osition. The cone thereafter decelerates finally coming to rest at the final deth of enetration (h f ). The dynamic equilibrium deth, h eq, is less than the deth, h s, which would be required for static equilibrium (at rest condition) of the cone. From equation (6), the dynamic equilibrium condition (a = ) is mg = Fτ h eq (8) from which, we get τ = mg W Fh = Fh (9) eq eq The shear strength of a soil using the fall cone test can be comuted by using the modified cone factor, K (Koumoto and Houlsby, 1). Assuming the viscous soil as a Casson fluid, we can exress the term μ γ& (the viscous comonent of shear resistance) as W KW μγ& = τ τcs = (1) Fh eq h f The relationshi among K, λ and F can be written as (Koumoto and Houlsby, 1) 3λ K = (11) F where K = 1.33 for a 3 o semi rough cone. Substituting equation (11) and λ =.74 in equation (1) and simlifying we get,.67 1 μγ = KW h eq h f & (1) The dynamic equilibrium deth, h eq, can be obtained by measuring the cone motion (time-enetration data) and determining the enetration deth at which the acceleration is zero. The shear strain attern around the cone is comlex and difficult to determine accurately. Consequently, the shear strain rate during the fall cone motion, which varies with the deth of enetration, is difficult to measure. However, the average shear strain rate at the equilibrium deth can be estimated from the following exression (Koumoto and Houlsby, 1) as 1519
5 δ g 3 & γ = (13).44 hf where δ the inclination angle (in radians) of the heaved soil surface (Figure ) and is a function of the cone angle (θ) and the cone roughness. For a 3 o o semi rough cone, δ = 5.77 (Koumoto and Houlsby, 1). Substituting in equation (13), the average shear strain rate for a 3 o semi-rough cone can be estimated as 1 & γ =.34 (14) The shear viscosity of the soil at dynamic equilibrium from equations (1) and (14) is then h f.67 1 μ =.94KW hf heq h f (15) 5 Exeriment The rocedure used for conducting the tests is similar to the conventional fall cone test (Hansbo, 1957; Wroth and Wood, 1978; Wood, 198). A standard cone of aex angle, 3 was used for the test. A calibrated LVDT was connected to the to of the cone shaft and a data acquisition system with logging frequency of 1 khz was used to record the deth of enetration continuously with time. Kaolin of liquid and lastic limits of 47% and 3% resectively was used for the test samles. Exeriments were erformed on soil samles with water contents in the range 35.8 % to 65.7 %. The total mass of the cone assembly (cone, shaft) was 93 grams. For soil states near the lastic limit, additional masses of 5 grams and 15 grams were added at the cone base to increase the deth of enetration. A tyical set of exerimental results, fitted with a fifth order olynomial is shown in Figure 3. The velocity and acceleration found by differentiating this olynomial are shown in Figure 4. At the equilibrium deth, h eq (oint A), the velocity of the cone reaches its maximum value and the acceleration is zero. The otential energy, kinetic energy and the total energy as the cone enetrates the soil are shown in Figure 5. The total energy that is resent at oint A causes the cone to enetrate further into the soil until all the energy is dissiated in lastic deformation of soil. Pertinent data from the exeriments are summarized in Table 1. The shear viscosity ( μ ) calculated using equation (15) for different values of liquidity index (LI) together with τ cs and τ are summarized in Table 1. The relationshi between μ (Pa.s) and LI for kaolin is deicted in Figure 6. The data can be fitted quite well (regression coefficient = 96%) by an exonential function exressed as μ = 817.6ex( 1.43 LI) (16) Locat and Demers (1988) roosed a similar tye of relationshi from viscometer data for sensitive soft clays with high LI. One of the contributing factors to the accuracy of the calculated μ is the accuracy of the value of K. Koumoto and Houlsby (1) discussed some of the factors that affect the value of K and the differences between their theoretical value used here and those found by exeriments that are within the range.7 to 1. for a 3 o cone. The calculated μ is linearly related to the value of K. 15

Shear viscosity - liquidity index relationshi for kaolin used in this study 6 Conclusions The viscous drag on a shaft enetrating in a clay deends on the size of the CS zone around the shaft, the shear viscosity of the clay in this zone and the enetration velocity of the shaft. Shear viscosity is the key soil arameter to understand ost-failure viscous behavior of soil. The shear viscosity of a soil is required to comute viscous resistance on enetrating shafts in clays. The fall cone test is shown here to be a romising tool to estimate the shear viscosity of clays at low liquidity indices. For the kaolin tested, the shear viscosity decreases exonentially with LI. However, the estimate of the shear viscosity will be deendent on the rheological model used and the value of the cone factor, K. In this aer, Casson s model was used and it is uncertain whether this model catures the viscous resonse of soils (in the lastic range) accurately desite suggestion in the literature of its otential aroriateness to clays.
