Abstract

In this study a series of tests (bench scale test) are carried out for increasing the strength of clayey soil by EK-Injection method. In addition, the effects of strength increase in the treated sample are measured by operating the vane shear test device during 25 days at 5 days intervals in order to estimate the effect of ground improvement caused by diffusion. Also, the effects of strength increase in the treated sample are measured by operating the vane shear test device to estimate the effect by treatment durations (5, 10, 15, 20, 25). The test results show that the strength increase was developed approximately 2 to 7 times in comparison to initial shear strength, and outstanding strenfth increase was created as much as 7 times while injecting the sodium silicate and phosphoric acid in anolyte and catholyte. In addition, the measured shear strength with the influence of diffusion and reduction of water-content had a tendency to converge in constant value in proportion to elapsed time. As a result of this study, strength increment developed by the influence of EK-Injection and diffusion rather than the reduction of water-content was 1000% high on average. In case of changes of treatment duration, strength increment developed by the influence of treatment durations rather than the reduction of water-content was 3 to 4 times high on average.

본 연구에서는 점토질 지반의 강도를 증진시키기 위해, 일련의 동전기 현상을 이용한 주입 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 실내 Bench scale 실험을 실시하여 적용성을 파악하였다. 또한 확산의 영향에 의한 지반개량효과를 파악하기 위해 실험 종료 후 5일 간격으로 25일 동안 데인 실험을 실시하여 강도증진효과를 파악하였으며, 처리기간에 따른 영향을 고려하기 위해 5일 간격(5, 10, 15, 20, 25)으로 처리기간을 설정한 후 동전기 주입 실험을 실시하였다. 주입제 종류에 따른 실험결과, 초기 강도치와 비교하여 약 $2\sim7$배 정도의 강도증진효과가 발생하였으며, 특히 양극에 규산나트륨을 주입하고 음극에 인산을 주입한 경우 약 7배 정도의 강도증진효과가 발생하였다. 또한 확산과 함수비 감소에 따른 강도값을 분석해본 결과 시간경과에 따라 강도 값이 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 양상을 띠었으며, 함수비 감소에 의한 강도 증가치 보다 동전기 주입과 확산에 의한 영향으로 발생되는 강도증가치가 약 $700\sim1000%$ 높게 나타났다. 처리기간에 따른 실험결과, 처리기간이 증가함에 따라 동전기 주입에 의한 강도증진효과가 크게 나타났으며, 함수비 감소에 의한 강도증가치보다 대략 $3\sim4$배 정도 높게 나타남을 파악할 수 있었다.
