Abstract

Several centrifuge modelling tests were performed to compare sand compaction pile (SCP) with gravel compaction pile (GCP) at the point of bearing capacity. SCP and GCP were installed as 30, 40, 50, 60, 70% of replacement ratio in cylindrical model tank (diameter = 20 cm, height = 40 cm), and the loading tests were carried out to analyze the bearing characteristics of soft clay ground reinforced by SCP and GCP. As a result of loading tests, the bearing capacities of soft grounds reinforced by SCP and GCP increase with increasing replacement ratio of pile, and a GCP reinforced ground has larger bearing capacity than that of a SCP reinforced ground. Several proposed bearing capacity equations for ground reinforced by SCP or GCP were compared with loading test results.

이 연구에서는 아직 국내에서는 시공실적이 없는 쇄석다짐말뚝(Gravel Compaction pile)공법의 적용성을 판단하기 위하여 SCP와 GCP의 모형토조시험을 수행하였다. 즉, 원통형 압밀상자(지름 20cm, 높이 40cm)에 치환율 30, 40, 50, 60, 70%로 달리 조성하여 원심력 압밀시험기를 이용하여 압밀시킨 후, 재하시험을 통하여 두 공법의 지지력 특성을 비교 검토하였다. 또한 모형시험을 통해 얻어진 극한지지력을 기존에 제안된 SCP 및 GCP 시공지반의 극한지지력 산정식을 이용한 계산값과 비교하였다. 모형시험 결과 GCP 시공지반이 SCP 시공지반에 비해 지지력 측면에서 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
