آزمون برش مستقيم يكي از قديمي ترين آزمون ها براي اندازه گيري مقاومت برشي خاك است. عوامل بسيار زيادي مي تواند بر نتايج حاصل از اين آزمايش تاثيرگذار باشد. به دليل اينكه روش هاي آزمايشگاهي زمان بر و سخت هستند استفاده از روش هاي عددي در بررسي عوامل موثر بر نتايج آزمايش برش مستقيم مي تواند مناسب و كارآمد باشد. در اين مقاله با استفاده از برنامه اجزاء محدود - اجزاء مجزا ca2، آزمايش برش مستقيم خاك شبيه سازي شده و تاثير عوامل مختلف در نتايج آزمايش مورد بررسي قرار گرفته است. با استفاده از اين برنامه عددي، خاك توسط روش اجزا مجزا و جعبه برش با استفاده از روش اجزا محدود مدل سازي شده است. در اين مطالعه، اثرات اندازه جعبه برش مستقيم، فشار تشكيل نمونه، تنش سربار، سرعت برش و اصطكاك جداره بر نتايج حاصل از آزمايش برش مستقيم مورد بررسي قرار گرفته است. نتايج اين تحقيق نشان مي دهد كه با افزايش ابعاد جعبه برش، مقاومت كاهش مي يابد در حاليكه با افزايش سربار، فشار تشكيل و سرعت برش مقاومت نمونه افزايش نشان مي دهد. همچنين در صورتيكه تغيير حجم قابل توجهي در نمونه طي برش خوردن ايجاد نگردد، اصطكاك ديواره هاي جعبه برش تاثير قابل توجهي بر مقاومت نمونه ندارد.

Determination of soil engineering properties such as shear strength is essential to analysis many geotechnical problems. Therefore, determination of the reliable values for this parameter is very important. For this purpose, direct shear test as one of the oldest test to examine the shear strength of soils, is conducted on soil samples. There are too many factors which could affect results of direct shear test. Laboratory tests are expensive, difficult and time consuming, hence using numerical method to simulate experimental test and study effective factors could be useful. In this paper direct shear test was numerically modeled using CA2 hybrid finite element-discrete element method code. CA2 solves explicitly equations of motion together with macro or micro-constitutive equations. In this study, shear box is modeled using finite element grids and a discrete element model is implemented for simulation of soil specimen within the box. Appropriate boundary conditions are assigned to the box, normal stress is applied to the specimen using finite element grid and shear velocity was finally applied to the model. Shear force is applied to the model by a constant velocity 4.5×10-9 meter/cycle. It should be noted that, shear velocity is applied to the upper part of shear box, and applied velocity is considered small enough to confirm that there is a quasi-static condition in numerical solution. In this study using numerical simulation, the effects of box dimension, genesis pressure, normal stress, shear velocity and box wall friction on shear strength of the soil specimen are investigated. Study of box dimension effect, shows that peak effective internal friction angle in small direct shear box and large direct shear box differs about 6°, and cohesion decreases by increasing box dimension but for box dimensions bigger than 20cm, changes in box dimension has no significant effect on resulted soil cohesions. Investigation of influence of genesis pressure shows that, incrementing genesis pressure, cohesion increases too, that can be attributed to the SOCPI model provided in CA2. In SOCPI model by increasing genesis pressure the overlap between cylinders increases. In SOCPI model by increasing overlap the cohesion increases but peak friction angel doesn’t change too much. Normal stress analysis shows that, increasing normal stress, interlocking between soil particle increases and more interlocking causes increasing cohesion of the soil model. Shear velocity is another parameter which is studied in this research. Results show that by increasing shear velocity, soil shear strength increases. It should be mentioned that shear velocity should be considered as small enough to result in a quasi-static solution; for velocity smaller than that model run time increases ineffectively. In this research, friction of shear box wall as one of the important parameters in study of soil shear strength is also investigated. When there is friction between box wall and soil particles, shear strength can be underestimated for contractant soils or overestimated for dilatant soils. In this paper, it is shown that if soil has no significant volume changes, peak shear strength is not affected by friction between soil particle and box wall.
