Abstract
Settlement and consolidation time were predicted through systematic soil investigation at the delta of Nakdong river where the preloading method was applied. Field measurements were executed with well-selected instruments. As the results of the comparison, the predicted settlement on the sand layer of about 20m thick underestimated the observed one by 20%. This underestimation was due to the effects of vibration during installation of PBD, creep, the overestimated deformation modulus, and so on. For the clay layer of about 20m in thickness under the sand layer, an ID analysis for underconsolidated soil initially overestimated the observed settlement by 240%. However, when the laboratory compression curve was reconstructed and a conventional ID analysis for NC clay was applied, the re-calculated settlement of the clay layer was relatively similar with the observed one. And the predicted consolidation time was about 45% less than the observed one, because of different influencing factors.
선행하중공법이 실시되는 낙동강 삼각주에서 체계적인 지반조사를 통하여 침하량과 압밀소요 시간이 예측되었으며, 엄선된 각종 계측기를 이용하여 현장계측이 수행되었다. 비교결과, 약20m 두께의 모래층에 대하여 예측침하량은 실측치의 20%에 불과하였다. 이러한 과소평가의 원인은 PBD타입시의 진동, 시간의존적 침하 및 탄성계수의 과대평가 등에서 비롯되었다. 모래층 아래에 위치한 약 20m 두께의 점성토층이 미압밀상태에 있는 것으로 가정하였던 이유 때문에 예측침하량은 실측치에 비하여 약240%까지 과대평가되었다. 그러나 압축곡선을 재구성하고 정규압밀점토를 위한 압밀침하공식을 적용하였을 때 재계산된 침하량은 실측값에 비교적 비슷하였다. 그리고 압밀소요시간은 각종 영향인자로 인하여 실제값에 비하여 약45% 과소평가되었다.
