Abstract

In this study, a large consolidation test was carried out to estimate the consolidation behaviour of dredged clay ground improved by horizontal drain using plastic board drain with a vacuum pressure. The test results were analyzed by a numerical simulation using potential consolidation theory applied to a hollow cylinder. The rapid decreases in pore pressure and the drain speed in the plastic board indicate that the consolidation occurred quickly after the vacuum state was applied to the test soil. According to the numerical analysis obtained by applying the linear potential consolidation theory to a clay hollow cylinder with external radial drainage, the pore pressure is affected by the strain and the permeability of the soil rather than by the diffusion types. Therefore, measured surface settlement agreed with the numerical solution at the point where consolidation pressure increasing rate u: -0.5. Also the behaviour of the clay layer settlement in the place where the drain was installed was similar to that shown in Barron's consolidation theory. Finally, the design and construction procedure including the selection of the appropriate arrangement of horizontal drains were discussed based on the results of the laboratory tutsts. It is also shown that the potential consolidation theory make it possible to predict consolidation behaviour in the field using horizontal drains exactly.

A Study on the 본 연구에서는 플라스틱드레인을 이용하여 진공수평배수에 의해 개량된 준설 점토 지반의 압밀거동을 파악하기 위하여 대형 압밀시험을 실시하였으며, 실험 결과가 포텐결중공원주의 압밀이론을 이용한 수치해석에 의해 비교 검토되었다. 본 연구 실험결과에 의하면 수평배수진공압밀시험은 점토층 내부의 함수비 및 간극수압과 드레인 배수 속도 등이 진공압밀 시간 경과에 따라 감소되어 압밀이 급속하게 진행되고 있음이 확인되었다. 점토층 중공원주의 방사류에 대한 선형포텐샬압밀이론을 이용하여 수치 압밀해석 결과 간극수압은 확산 형태보다 흙의 변형과 투수에 의해 크게 좌우되고 있으므로, 지표면 부근에서의 실측 침하량은 압밀응력증가율 a가 -0.5정도에서 수치해석과 일치하며 또한 드레인 설치 부근에서의 점토층 침하량은 Baryon 압밀이론과 유사한 거동을 나타내고 있다. 최종적으로 수평 배수에 대한 적당한 선택과정을 포함한 설계 및 시공관리가 시험결과에 의하여 설명 되었으며 포텐셜압밀이론은 진공배수시 수평드레인에 의한 압밀거동을 정확하게 예측할 수 있다.
