Abstract

An experimental study, which included four 305mm-diameter test shafts, one reference shaft with standard design and three test shafts with isolation tubes, is described. The soil was also soil heave and shrinkage that occur during suction changes at the field site. The test shafts were monitored for a period of about 18 months. Maximum ground movements exceeding 35mm were observed. Movements of only 1 to 2mm were observed in the test shafts with isolation tubes, while movements of 4 to 5mm were observed in the reference shaft. A simple computing model was developed to predict, based on suction changes, the maximum amount of ground heave. Relationship among suction. total stress, and volumetric strain was abtained in the laborstory. This relationship, used as inputs to the predictive model, enabled the computation of the maximum ground heave.

미합중국 텍사스 주 휴스턴시 소재의 휴스턴 대학 내에 위치한 미합중국 국립 지반 실험지 (National Geotechnical Experimentation Site at the University of Houston)의 팽창성 점토에 설치된 직경 305mm 1개의 일반 현장타설 말뚝과 3개의 분리형 현장타설 말뚝의 18개월간의 거동에 관한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 지반의 흡수력 변화에 따른 지반 팽창량 예측을 위해 실험 말뚝 주위의 지반에 깊이별로 지반 흡수력 감지 장치를 설치하여 관측한 결과, 지반은 최대 35mm까지 팽창하였고 일반 현장타설 말뚝은 4-5mm, 분리형 현장타설 말뚝은 1-2mm의 수직 변위가 관측되었다. 또한 지반 흡수력, 전압력과 체적 변형률 간의 관계식을 얻기 위해 3축 압축 실험 장치를 변형한 실내 실험을 수행하였으며, 이 결과를 이용하여 최대 지반 팽창량 예측 모델을 만들어 현장 실측치와 비교 검토하였다.
