Abstract

A large diameter sampler that can take undisturbed samples from soft ground was developed by KICT. In order to compare the quality of samples taken by the sampler with those of the traditional piston sampler, a series of laboratory tests were performed. Samples were taken at different sites such as Incheon, Gimhae, Yangsan and Busan. The results showed that the values of unconfined compression strength, secant modulus, pre-consolidation pressure, undrained shear strength, and shear modulus exhibited higher in samples taken by the large scale sampler. Strains at shear failure and volumetric strains were low for the new sampler. It was proved from the comparison that better quality samples could be obtained by the KICT sampler.

연약지반에서 비교란 시료를 채취할 수 있는 대구경 샘플러(KICT형 샘플러)를 개발하였다. 이 대구경 샘플러로 채취한 시료와 종래의 피스톤 샘플러로 채취한 시료의 질을 평가하기 위하여 인천, 김해, 양산, 부산에서 각각의 샘플러로 시료를 채취하였으며, 실내에서 일축압축시험, 압밀시험, 삼축압축시험 및 공진주시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, KICT형 대구경 샘플러로 채취한 시료의 일축압축강도, 할선탄성계수, 선행압밀응력, 비배수전단강도, 전단계수가 수압식 피스톤 샘플러로 채취한 시료의 그것들보다 더 크게 나타났으며, 파괴시 변형률과 압밀시 발생되는 체적변형률은 작게 나타났다.
