Abstract

In constructing a slurry trench cutoff wall, bentonite-water slurry is used to secure the stability of sidewalls during excavation before the wall is completed by backfilling. Unexpectedly, a thin but relatively impermeable layer called filter cake can be formed on the excavation surface, which significantly influences the result of slug test analysis in the cutoff wall if not considered. This study is to examine the effect of filter cake on evaluating hydraulic conductivity of the vertical cutoff wall through slug test analysis with the aid of the verified numerical program Slug_3D. The no-flux boundary conditions were adopted in Slug_3D to simulate the filter cake on the interface between the wall and the natural soil. A new set of type curves were built for applying the type curve method. New modification factors were obtained for using the modified line-fitting method. With consideration of filter cake, the type curve method and the modified line-fitting method were adopted to reanalyze the case study taken from EMCON (1995). The previous results achieved by Choi and Daniel (2006) without consideration of filter cake were compared with the present results obtained in this paper. The comparison emphasizes the necessity of considering filter cake when analyzing slug test results in vertical cutoff walls.

슬러리월 연직차수벽 시공시, 지반을 트렌치 형태로 굴착하고, 굴착시공 중 굴착면 붕괴에 대한 안정성을 유지하기 위하여 벤토나이트와 물을 혼합한 슬러리를 트렌치에 채운다. 이렇게 채워진 벤토나이트 슬러리로 인하여 필터케이크(filter cake)이라 불리는 얇고 투수성이 낮은 층이 트렌치벽 표면에 형성되며, 슬러리가 제거 된 이후에도 굴착면에 잔존하여 연직차수벽에서의 순간변위시험(slug test) 해석 결과에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 수치해석 프로그램 Slug-3D를 수정하여 순간변위시험 해석시 필터케이크의 영향을 고려하는 방법을 제시하고 이를 통하여 정확한 연직차수벽의 투수계수를 산출하도록 하였다. 필터케이크의 영향을 고려하기 위하여 Slug-3D에서는 차수벽과 토양층의 경계면에 불투수조건(no-flux)을 경계조건으로 설정하여 해석을 수행하였다 또한 투수계수 산정에서 기존의 타입커브법(type curve method)을 이용하기 위하여 개선된 type curve를 도출하였고, 선형 커브피팅법(line-fitting method)를 필터케이크가 존재하는 연직차수벽에 적용할 수 있도록 수정 보완하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 필터케이크를 고려한 해석방법은 EMCON(1995)에 의해 수행된 현장시험 결과의 재해석을 통하여 타당성을 검토하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 Choi and Daniel(2006)에 의해 수행된 필터케이크가 존재하지 않는 경우의 순간변위시험 해석결과와 비교를 통해 필터케이크 고려가 반드시 필요함을 보여준다.
