Abstract

In this research, an analytical solution for the coefficient of permeability of soils during consolidation is suggested. The pore pressure and the flow rate measurements at different locations during consolidation are utilized. The void ratio and volume compressibility of soils under consolidation are also estimated. A large consolidation testing device, possible in both vertical and radial drainage is designed and manufactured. And consolidation test with kaolinite soils were performed under radially inward drainage direction. Pore pressures in varying radial distances and flow rate with time were measured as well as vertical deformations. From the test results, the changes of permeability, volume compressibility and void ratio under consolidation and their spatial variations are estimated. Thus the proposed solution is verified by comparing with the experimentally estimated test results. In addition, it is confirmed that permeability, void ratio and volume compressibility decrease as consolidation and loading steps progress. Also, these soil characteristics increase with radial distant from drainage boundary, where lowest values observed, and slightly decrease as approaching undrained boundary.

본 연구에서는 압밀 중에 위치별 간극수압의 측정을 통하여 시료 내 여러 위치에서 투수계수를 산정할 수 있는 이론해를 제시하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 간극비 및 체적압축계수를 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 여러 위치에서 간극수압을 측정할 수 있는 방사내측배수가 가능한 대형압밀시험기를 제작하고 카올리나이트를 이용하여 압밀시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과로부터 압밀 중 투수계수, 간극비, 체적압축계수의 변화 및 시료 내 위치별 분포를 평가하였으며, 압밀완료 후 시료의 함수비 측정으로 평가된 값들과의 비교를 통하여 실험결과의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 실험결과 투수계수, 체적압축계수, 간극비는 압밀 중 감소하며, 재하단계에 따라서도 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 그 분포형태는 배수면 근처에서 가장 작고 배수거리에 따라 증가하며 비배수 경계면 근처에서는 오히려 약간 작은 것으로 나타났다.
