유기질토의 압밀특성에 관한 연구

Studies on the Consolidation Characteristics of Organic Soils.

전북도내 3개시역에서 채취한 유기물함량 15%인 저유기질토(LL:95%)와 유기물함량 68%인 고유기질토(LL:400%)의 압밀특성을 조사분석하기 위해서 표준압밀시험과 단일하중압밀시험을 실시하였다. 공소비는 저유기질토 보다 고유기질토가 현저하게 큰 경향을 보였으며 e-log P 곡선에서 저유기질토는 하중이 증가함에 따라서 공소비 감소경향이 완만하였으나 고유기질토에서는 현저하게 감소하였다. 압밀량과 장기압밀시간과의 관계에서 고유기질토의 경우 약 5분경 부터 시간대수에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였고 저유기질토는 일반정성토와 같은 경향을 보였다. 고유기질토의 2차압밀표수는 상기추밀시간에 따라 일정한 경향을 나타내고 있으므로 장기롱밀량추정에 중요한 인자로 이용될 수 있다.

This study was intended to investigate the consolidation characteristics of lowly organic soils and highly organic ones, with organic content 15 of and 68 % respectively. which were sampled from three different soil regions in Chonbuk province. The results were obtained partly from standard consolidation test but mostly from single increment consolidation test in which each sample was held under the first sustained load for weeks. Highly organic soils retained considerably larger void ratio than lowly organic ones. Decrease of void ratio due to load increment was gradual in lowly organic soils and abrupt in highly organic ones. The long-term compression quantity of the highly organic soils became linearly proportional to the logarithm of time after 5 minutes. The lowly organic soils showed a compression pattern similar to that of clay. For highly organic soils, the secondary consolidation coefficient appeared to have a constant relationship with the logarithm of consolidation time, and therefore may be used as a significant factor in estimating the long-term settlement.
