Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the strength of lime soil mixtures for varied' curing temperatures(20, 30, 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$) and lime content (3, 6, 9, 12%) in four lime-stabilized soils(KY : Sand, MH : Sand, SS: Sandy loam. JJ : Loam). The experimental results obtained from unconfined compressive strength tests are as follows; 1. The optimum moisture content increased and maximum dry density decreased with the increase of the lime content. 2. The lime content for the maximum strength of SS and JJ soils showed at the 9 percent lime content, but KY and MH soils didn't show the tendency of increase and decrease by the lime content and curing period. The rate of decrease of the soaked unconfined compressive strength showed the lower value in accordance with lime content. 3. According to increase in curing temperatures in curing temperatures at 30, 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$, the unconfined compressive strength of lime soil mixtures increased, the rate of increase initially increased at a rapid rate, and showed that around 120 hours were sufficient curing time to complete hardening. 4. The average maximum temperature of Korea being around $30^{\circ}C$ from July to August, thus these months are ideal construction periods to increase the strehgth of lime soil mixtures. 5. Accelerated curing times equivalent to 28-day normal curing decreased in accordance with the increase of curing temperature, and showed shorter in lime soil mixtures than soil cement. 6. Accelerated curing times versus normal curing times are formed as a linear, its slope decreased in accordance with the increase of curing temperature, it may be expressed as follows: (1). $30^{\circ}C$ : t=2.63d-1.4(r=0.99) (2). $40^{\circ}C$ : t= 1.76d-0.8(r=0.97) (3). $50^{\circ}C$ : t=1.35d-3.2(r=0.94) (4). $60^{\circ}C$ : t=0.49d+1.8(r=0.91) in which t ; Accelerated curing time d ; Normal curing time.

석회혼합토의 양생온도가 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 4종류(KY : Sand, MH : Sand, SS : Sandy Loam. JJ : Loam)의 시료(試料)에 석회(石灰)3, 6, 9, 12%씩을 첨가(添加)해서 20, 30, 40, $60^{\circ}C$로 각각 양생온도를 달리해서 양생기간별 압축 강도시험을 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 석회혼합량(石灰混合量)이 증가(增加)하면 최적합수비(最適合水比)는 증가(增加)하고 최대건조밀도(最大乾燥密度)는 감소(感少)하는 경향을 보였다. 2. SS, JJ흙은 우회함량(右灰含量) 9%에서 최대강도를 나타냈고, KY, MH는 석회함량 및 양생기일의 변화에 강도의 증감현상이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 수침한 경우는 석회함량이 많을수록 수침으로 인한 강도 감소율이 적어지는 경향을 보였다. 3. 양생온도가 30, 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$로 각각 증가됨에 따라 석회혼합토의 압축강도는 증가 하고 그의 증가율은 양생초기에 크고 120시간(時間)에서 응결하는데 거의 충분(充分)한 양생시간에 도달한 것으로 생각된다. 4. 우리나라의 평균최대기온은 7월(月)~8월(月)에 $30^{\circ}C$정도로 석회혼합토의 강도증진을 위해서 이상적인 공사기간임을 제안한다. 5. 양생온도를 높이면 28일(日)기준양생과 동등한 촉진양생시간은 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며 시멘트 혼합시 보다 석회혼합시에 더욱 짧았다. 6. 기준양생기일과 촉진양생시간 사이에는 직선관계가 성립되고 양생온도가 증가 할수록 직선의 기울기는 감소하는 경향을 보였고 그상관식은 다음과 같다. (1) $30^{\circ}C$ : t=2.63d-1.4(r=0.99) (2) $40^{\circ}C$ : t= 1.76d-0.8(r=0.97) (3) $50^{\circ}C$ : t= 1.35d-3.2(r=0.94) (4) $60^{\circ}C$ : t=0.49d+1.8(r=0.91) 여기서 t : 촉진양생기간 d : 기준양생기일.
