Abstract

Weathered soils appear from the rock and its weathering result. In accordance with the degree of weathering the roch may become soft rock, weathered rock and residual soil. In general, classification method for determining the degree of weathering are performed by chemical method and N-value. But these method have some problems. So, this research is to suggest an appropriate physical method to determine the degree of weathering of weathered soils. A new classification method for determining the degree of weathering is suggested, based upon the results from fall cone test. According to the proposed physical method using fall cone apparatus, the measured values of the samples from the same area show distinctive difference of weathering. For the checking, we selected two areas. As a result, the relationship between CWI and water content according to penetration is expressed as an equation in Ilsan and Incheon area. And it proved to be a good method to determine the degree of weathering.

풍화토는 암석으로부터 풍화되어 그 산물로 나타난다. 또한, 풍화정도에 따라 연암, 풍화암, 잔적토에 이르기까지 그 산물은 다양하다. 일반적으로 풍화정도의 결정은 화학적 방법이나 표준관입시험의 N-value를 이용한다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 약간의 단점을 가지고 있으며, 이에 본 연구에서는 교란시료와 물리적인 방법인 Fall cone test를 이용하여 풍화정도를 결정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. Fall cone test 결과, 동일한 지역에서 풍화정도의 차이를 확인할 수 있었으며, 관입량에 따른 화학적풍화지수(CWI)와 함수비의 관계는 하나의 방정식으로 표현할 수 있었다.
