Experimental Study on the Permeability of Decomposed Granite Soil

마사토의 차수성에 관한 실험적 연구

On the constructions of fill type dams, usually the constructions materials is desired to be obtained in vicinity ofthe dam sitc to justify economical feasilblity of the project. In the stability analysis of the dams, core parts takesa small fraction of the slip circle and main function of core is to decrease dam permeability. This paper shows results of various tests as physical properties, compactions (using single, double triple and four times of the tandard compaction energy) and the permeability tests. Single decomposed granite and mixed materials with clay soils were used in this test. And conclusions of these tests are as follows; 1. Criteira of weathering ratio should be caleulated by density measarment. 2. Permeability coefficient maiuly depends on th #200 sieve passing, and also passing soil quantities depends on the weathering condition of the soil. 3. It was established that low weathered decomposed granite can not be used for the core materials of the fill type dams. On the other hand, moderately weathered decomposed granite soil with particles could pass through #200 sieve in a quantity over 10%, could chieve permeability in a magnitude of $1{\times}10^{-5} cm/see$. 4. With the decomposed granite soil it is possible to perform three times larger compaction energy than the standard energy without any problems.

Fill Type Dam에 있어서 일반적으로 축조재료는 경제성을 감안하여 Dam Site 부근에서 구해야하므로 Core 용재료로서는 차수성의 문제만 해결된다면 마시토도 사용가능할 것이라는 전제하에 본문에서는 마사토를 단독 또는 혼합재료로서 각종시험을 실시하여 사용가능성 여부를 검토하고 기사용범위를 정함으로써 앞으로의 사용자들에게 편의를 제공코저 한다.
