Abstract
In order to assess the quality and depth of ground densification by compaction, SPT and/or CPT are performed before and after compaction. Both methods are intrusive and one point tests, require a substantial time to evaluate a large area, and their results are quite dependent on the operation technique and soil type. In this paper, the quality and extent of ground densification by compaction was evaluated by using in situ SASW test and laboratory resonant column (RC) test results. SASW test was used to determine the shear wave velocity profiles before and after compaction, and RC test was adopted to determine the correlation between the normalized shear wave velocity and the density of the site, which is almost uniquely independent of confinement. Testing and data reduction procedures of both tests were discussed, and a simplified evaluation procedure of ground densification was proposed. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method was verified by performing field study at Inchon International Airport Project. Field densities determined by the proposed method matched well with those determined by sand cone tests.
다짐 전.후의 지반개량정도와 개량깊이를 평가하기 위하여 일반적으로 SPT와 CPT가 많이 사용된다. 두 방법 모두 일점시험으로서 대규모 현장에서 사용될 경우 매우 많은 시간을 필요로 하며, 지반종류와 실험 숙련도에 따라 시험결과가 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 표면파시험과 공진주시험결과를 결합하여 다짐 전.후의 지반개량정도와 개량깊이를 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다. 표면파 시험은 다짐 전.후의 지반의 전단파속도주상도를 회득하는데 사용되며, 공진주시험은 단일상관관계를 가지는 정규다짐 화된 전단파속도와 밀도와의 관계를 결정하는데 사용된다. 마지막으로 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 영종도(인천)국제공항 건설현장에서 제안된 평가절차에 따라 표면파시험결과와 공진주시험결과로부터 깊이별 개량정도를 추정하였으며, 이로부터 제안된 방법의 현장적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
