Abstract

Laboratory testings, consisting of soil properties testing and vacuum consolidation testing with and without vertical wick drain, were carried out on five different types of soil to determine soil properties and relationship between settlement and time. One dimensional consolidation teat was performed to determine if this test could be used for predicting the behavior of soils during vacuum consolidation. From the results of this study, the one dimensional consolidation test does not appear to be suitable for predicting the rate of vacuum consolidation without wick drain. However, one dimensional consolidation test reasonably predicts the total settlement of vacuum consolidation without wick drain. In vacuum consolidation, the amount of the settlement for silty soils were more or less the same for both cases, with wick drain and without wick drain, even if the time required for consolidation was considerably different. And, strategic placement of wick drain ensures moisture content and the value of the density are similar throughout the soil sample. However, the presence of wick drain for clay Boils increased the amount of settlement and also shortened the time required for consolidation.

5가지의 토질을 대상으로 하여 심지배수가 존재하는 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우에 있어서 진공압밀실험을 실시하여 진공압밀에서의 시간에 따른 침하량을 측정하였다. 이에 앞서 기초실험을 통하여 토질의 특성을 파악하고 아울러 일차원 압밀실험을 행하여 심지배수가 존재하지 않은 경우의 진공압밀이 진행되는 동안 기존의 압밀 실험이 토질의 거동을 예측할 수 있는지를 검토하여 보았다. 본 연구결과 기존의 일차원 압밀실험은 심지배수가 존재하지 않는 경우의 진공압밀 실험과정을 예측하는데 부적절하였으나 최종침하량은 적절하게 예측하였음이 밝혀졌다. 진공압밀의 실험결과에서는, 실트질토에 있어서 심지배수의 존재가 압밀의 속도에는 커다란 영향을 미쳤으나 최종 침하량은 심지배수의 존재에 상관없이 동일하였음이 밝혀졌으며 심지배수의 존재는 시료의 깊이에 대해 함수비와 밀도를 일정하게 한다는 것은 규명되었으나 점토질토에서의 심지배수의 존재는 압밀의 속도 뿐만 아니라 최종침하량도 증가시킴이 밝혀졌다.
