| Research Abstract |
To investigate the effects of the dry density and thickness of a sand cushion on an impact response due to a falling weight likened to a rockfall, a series of laboratory experiments for a decomposed granite soil was executed in the combination of the mass and drop height of the weight. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained.
●The sinkage of the falling weight and the impact duration decrease with the dry density of the soil ; however, they do not depend on the thickness of the soil.
●The impact acceleration increases with the dry density of the soil ; however, it does not depend on the thickness of the soil.
●The earth pressure at the bottom of the mold increases with the dry density ; and, it deceases with the thickness of the soil.
●The transmission ratio of the impact pressure hardly depends on the dry density of the soil ; however, it decreases rapidly with the thickness of the soil.
●The sinkage of the falling weight having a hemisphere bottom is larger than a flat bottom.
●The impact acceleration of the falling weight having a hemisphere bottom is smaller than a flat bottom.
