Improvement Effectiveness of Soft Ground Using Hardening Agent

고화재 혼합처리를 이용한 연약지반개량효과

Recently, the application of shallow mixing method using hardening agent has increased because of the advantage of securing trafficability, reducing the working period, solving environmental problems caused by dumped and replaced soil, etc. In this paper, three types of representative hardening agents in Korea are used to achieve the optimum of ground improvement. 1he unconfined compression tests are carried out with specimens under various mixing ratios and curing periods of hardening agent to assess the stabilizing ability. The unconfined strengths on site were estimated with various mixing ratios based on the results of the laboratory tests. It was estimated that the improved strength on site was higher than that of the required strength $5.0kgf/cm^2$.

고화재를 이용한 천층혼합처리공법을 적용할 경우, 주행성 확보, 공기의 단축, 치환토부족 문제 해결, 사토로 인한 환경문제해결 등의 장점으로 최근 그 활용가치가 점점 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적의 천층고화처리를 위하여 국내의 대표적인 3가지 고화재를 이용한 현장토의 실내개량강도 특성을 고화재별, 양생일수별, 함수비별로 분석하였다. 실내시험결과를 토대로 적정 배합비에 따른 현장강도를 추정하여 현장시공 후 개량보강효과를 확인하여, 현장개량강도는 소요설계강도 $5.0kgf/cm^2$이상 확보되었다.
