Abstract

Recently the large scale civil engineering projects are being implemented by reclaiming the sea or utilizing seashore and river embankment areas. The reclaimed land and utilized seashore are mostly soft ground that doesn't have sufficient bearing capacity. This soft ground consists of fine-grained soil such as clayey and silty soils or large void soil like peat or loose sand. It has high ground water table and it may cause the failure and crock of building foundation by uplift pressure and ground water leakage. In this study, the permittivity and the transmissivity were evaluated with the applied normal pressure in the laboratory. The laboratory model tests were conducted by utilizing geocomposite drainage system for draining the water out to release the uplift pressure. The soil used in the laboratory drainage test was dredged soil from the reclaimed land where uplift pressure problems can arise in soil condition. Geocomposite drainage system was installed at the bottom of apparatus and dredged soil was layered with compaction. Subsequently the water pressure was supplied from the top of specimen and the quantities of drainage and the pore water pressure were measured at each step water pressure. The results of laboratory measurements were compared with theoretical values. For the evaluation of propriety of laboratory drainage test, 2-D finite elements analysis that can analyze the distribution and the transferring of pore water pressure was conducted and compared with laboratory test results.

최근 대규모 토목 건설 프로젝트는 용지 매입비용 및 각종 민원으로 인하여, 공유수면을 매립하거나 해안 및 하천지역의 용지를 활용하고 있다. 공유수면을 매립한 지반이나 해안 및 하천 지역의 지반은 충분한 지지력을 발휘하지 못하는 연약지반이 대부분이다. 이러한 연약지반은 주로 점토나 실트와 같은 미세한 입자의 흙이나 간극이 큰 유기질토 또는 이탄, 느슨한 모래 등으로 이루어진 토층으로 구성되어 있으며, 지하수위가 높기 때문에, 제체 및 구조물의 안정과 침하 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지오컴포지트의 수리특성을 평가하기 위해 상재하중에 따른 통수성과 전수성 실내시험을 수행하였으며, 지하수위가 높은 지반에 지하구조물을 축조할 경우 발생될 수 있는 지하수 누수 및 양압력을 제거하기 위하여 토목섬유를 적용한 배수시스템을 연구하였다. 지반의 조건상 양압력으로 인한 문제점이 많이 발생되는 매립지의 준설토를 이용하여 실내배수실험을 수행하였다. 실내 배수실험에서는 실험기 하부에 토목섬유 배수층을 설치한 후에 상부에 준설토를 다져 넣고 상부에서 단계별 수압을 가하여 배수량과 간극수압을 측정하여 각각의 수압에 따른 계측값들과 이론적인 값들과 비교하였다. 실내배수실험의 타당성을 분석하기 위하여 흙이나 암석과 같은 다공질 재료의 간극수압 분포나 이동을 해석하기 위한 2차원 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 수치해석을 수행하여 실내실험의 결과와 비교하였다.
